im oo Gorans eld For Pirates in Debut in By FRED DOWN United Press Sport Wriler Credit Joe L. Brown of the Pittsburgh Pirates with pull ing off Bos to n's biggest "steal" since the Brinks rob bery. They laughed when Brown laid out the $20,000 waiver price to acquire" Bob Porter field from the Red Sox last Friday, but the supposedly washed-up pitcher made it look like a million-dollar deal Sunday when he scored a 1-0, 11-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in his National league debut. - That victory, coupled with Bob Friend's 10-4 decision in the first game, moved the as tonishing Pirates into a sec ond-place tie . with idle San Francisco, one game behind the streaking Milwaukee Braves. The Braves extended their skein to a season high of seven straight games Sunday when they rallied for a 7-6 tri umph over the Cincinnati Redlegs. In Sunday's ether major de velopments: The Baltimore Orioles took over third place in the American league when they beat the Red Sox, 3-2 and 4-0 Cards Pull Out Win The revived St. Louis Cardinals pulled out two ninth-inning victories over the Chicago Cubs, 8-7 and 6-5, as Stan Musial collected five hits and moved within two of a 3,000-lifetime total. Bill Skowron and Roy Sievers, two of the AL's top sluggers, were injured while the New York Yankees and Washington Senators split a doubleheader. Porterfield, who had a 4-4 record with the Red Sox last year and appeared in only two brief relief assignments for them this season, yielded eight hits and struck out five. Curt Simmons battled him on even terms until the 11th when Dick Groat led off with a single, moved to second on Bob Skinner's sacrifice and scored on rookie R. C. Stev ens' single. , Ted Kluszewski, obtained by Brown during the winter, smashed a three-run homer and Frank Thomas also knocked in three runs for the Pirates in the opener. Friend was tagged for homers by Rip Repulski, Granny Hamner and Stan Lopata but struck out nine batters. The Pirates have won four straight and 13 of their last 17 games. The Orioles got a pair of . hitless relief jobs from Billy O'Dell and George Zuverink as they made it three in a row and six out of seven. O'Dell, who held the Red Sox hitless in the last two innings of the opener, won his third game when Gus Triandos hit a 430 foot homer in the eighth. Zu verink cleaned up with three hitless innings in the night cap after Arnold Portocarrero limited the Sox to two hits in the first six. Noren, Landrith Star Musial homered and singled in the opener and had three singles in the second game for the Cardinals whose four straight victories moved them to within a half game of seventh-place Los Angeles. The real St. i Louis heroes, how ever, were Irv Noren, who sin gled home the winning run in the opener, and Hobie Lan drith whose bases-filled dou ble coupled with Bobby Thomson's error produced the Cardinals three ninth-inning tallies in the nightcap. Ryne Duren, new Yankee relief ace, retired the last bat ter in New York's opening 4-3 triumph but Camilo Pascual came back to hand the Amer ican league leaders their first shutout, 4-0, in the second game. Skowron re-injured his back and may be sidelined Donor of Gifts To Film Actresses Goes in Seclusion Los Angeles (IP Lt. Gen.

Ernie Johnson was the winner, and Turk Lown, re cently acauirea irom me Cubs, the loser. Indians SdIU The Detroit Tigers crushed the Kansas City Athletics 10-3. with a seven-run eighth inning rally and the Cleve land Indians split a double header with the Chicago White Sox in the other AL ac tivity. Billv Martin's three -run homer climaxed the Tigers bie uprising as rookie Bob Shaw won his first major league game. Bob Cerv's 10th homer had tied the score at 3-3 for the Athletics, who lost their sixth straight decision Jack Urban was the loser. The Indians kayoed 20- game winner Billy Pierre, winless this season, en route to a 4-2 triumph but then Jim Wilson notched his third vie tory as the White Sox won the nightcap, 5-2. Carroll Hardy knocked in two runs for the Indians in the first game and Jim Rivera drove in two for the White Sox in the second.
