Piess International Some scoundrel walked iiht up and stole Milwau Jrc's 1957 world champion- tP.ip flag Tuesday night but 'it embarrassed Braves are jntking it quite clear no one J oing to steal the 1958 ,ifuint from them. The theft of the Braves' jfctg was noticed shortly aft r Jo Adcock's pinch two xua homer in the ninth in- JDinf gave the world champs m y-2 victory over the Cardm- Al and boosted them within a ame of first place. Whoever took the pennant jjnloosened the rope attach ing it to the pole in left field, calmly lowered baseball's cherished banner of suprem acy and fled into the night. But if the Braves thought they were robbed how do you hink the Cardinals felt? Sam Jones of the Cards ts coasting along with a two-hit, 2-0 lead until the ninth when Eddie Mathews opened with a single and Wes Covington was hit with a pitch. Jones got the next two men on forceouts and al though a run scored, he was yily one out away from vic tory. Adcock Tees Off Adcock was called off the bench to bat for Billy Bru ton after Logan's force out scored Mathews from - third Adcock hit Jones' second pitch high over the 394 foot mark inter the left center field bleachers. Adcock's homer enabled southpaw Warren Spahn to record his seventh victory against a single loss. Spahn yielded eight hits, including a homer by Curt Flood. Rip Repulski's three- run homer in the first inning powered the Phillies to a 5-1 triumph over the first-place Giants. Repulski socked his circuit off loser Stu Miller who failed to survive the first inning. Jack Sanford was touched for 10 hits but he vent the distance to earn his fourth victory. It was only the fifth defeat f,or the Giants In their last 20 games. Jmnk Thomas rapped out three hits and Ronnie Kline posted his sixth victory as the Pirates tripped the last-place Dodgers, 5-3. Suecessive doubles by Dick Croat, Ted Kluszewski and Thomas produced the Pirate's irst two runs in the fourth and they added three more in the fifth on Bill Virdon's triple, a wild pitch, Bob Skin ner's homer, Groat's triple and a single by Thomas. Don Drysdale, who was charged with Pittsburgh's first four runs, suffered his eighth de fit t. Cincinnati Wins Don Hoak's 10th inning single with the bases loaded off reliever Don Elston paced Cincinnati to a 4-3 win over Chicago. The Cubs scored all their runs- off starter Brooks Lawrence in the fourth in ning. Walt Moryn's two-run homer featured the rally. Jer ry Lynch and Frank Robin . son homered for the Redlegs. Reliever Hal Jeffcoat was the winner. Over in the American league, the Kansas City Ath letics hopped all over Bob Turley to beat the first-place New York Yankees, 7-3. Bob Cerv put the A's in front with a three-run homer in the first inning and the Yankees never -ere able to catch up as ex teammate Jack Urban check ed them on six hits. The de feat for Turley was his first after seven victories in a row and the six earned runs he allowed totaled as many as he had allowed all year. El ston' Howard homered for the Yankees. Early Wynn needed a help ing hand from Gerry Staley in the ninth inning but he 'was credited with his fourth straight victory and fifth of the year as the White Sox topped the Senators, 7-3. Griggs Makes Error Loser Hal Griggs hurt his own cause with a two-run er ror in a four-run fourth in ning by the White Sox. Three of Chicago's runs were un earned and they were aided further by nine walks. Sherm Lollar collected three of the White Sox' hits while Albie Pearson also had three hits fo the Senators. Despite Ted Williams' sixth homer of the season, the De troit Tigers held on for a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox Fast-baller Paul Foytack scored his fourth victory al though Vito Valentinetti nail ed down the final out of the game when he struck out Gene Stephens with runners on second and third. The Cleveland Indians handed the Baltimore Orioles their sixth straight defeat, 7-6, in 10 innings. Reliever Billy O'Dell forced in the winning run when he walked Mickey Vernon with the bas es full in the 10th. Baltimore starter Billy Loes had a 6-4 lead in the ninth but was lifted in favor of O'Dell, who yielded a two-run pinch hom er by J. W. Porter.

Indianapolis Begins Role As Host for Auto Classic Indianapolis. Ind. (UPI) Indianapolis tonight begins its official role as host to a quarter-million persons, most ly 500-mile race fans, with a restrained version of New Or leans' Madri Gras. The 500-mile event dates back to 1911 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but it was not until two years ago In dianapolis began to blossom with municipally sponsored dances, parades and other soc ial appendages to the race it self on May 30.- Spokesmen for this second annual "500" festival say they wish to avoid what they diag nose as Louisville's "trouble" with its Derby festival too many events. But they hope to produce something "com parable to the Mardi Gras or Pasadena's Tour n a m e n t of Roses." Formal Ball Tonight's opening event is a formal ball at the Indiana Roof. Thursday's crowded day begins with a mayor's break fast in the Claypool Hotel at which former race winners are honor guests. A Mardi Gras touch to the breakfast is importation of two New Orleans bartenders to serve gin fizzes, an unheard-of item on the normal Hoosier breakfast. The parade with its 33 floats, 33 bands and 33 march ing units winds through the downtown area beginning at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. The num ber is a reminder that 33 driv ers start in the Friday race. An assurance that all visi tors will find a room at rea sonable prices came from Jos eph Cripe who heads the Indianapolis Convention .Bu reau. He said rooms start at S5 per person, but these are mainly in private homes. .

(UPI) The Milwaukee Braves pitch ing strength is keeping most of their relief pitchers lean ing against the bull pen fence. As of Monday, the Braves' starting hurlers had pitched 15 complete games and gone at least seven innings in 24 out of 35 games. Nine of the games needed only one relief jitcher, and since May 13, three pitchers have been used in one game only once in 13 games. It's this type of balance that makes most observers feel that over a 154-game stretch it will be the Braves that finish on top. The con sensus is that while other mound staffs will falter un der doubleheaders and hot weather, the Braves will be able to maintain a steady lev el of good pitching. No one is complaining about this type of situation in Milwaukee. But Ernie John son and Dick Littlefield, pitchers carried by the Braves who had been getting almost as much exercise pick ing up their checks as they have during the game. With most of the starters going seven innings or more, the bulk of the relief work has gone to Don McMatoon, who has a 1.13 earned run av erage in 16 innings. Littlefield, obtained from the Cubs at the start of the season, has been in only three games for a total of six in nings. Johnson also has been in three games, but only 5 1-3 innings. A giant, tree-crushing ma chine will knock down and chop up dense forest growth at the rate of an acre in 15 minutes. It weighs 280,000 pounds and is 75 feet long and 49 feet wide.
