Uithin Game of Lead in National
0 By MILTON RICHMAN
"Uaited. 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. That tied
the score and reliever Hoyt
Wilhelm went on to gain the
victory. Billy Harrell and
Gus Triandos also hit homers.

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. .

Milwaukee
Relievers
Rest Much
Milwaukee, Wis. (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.

try. : Portland . Boxing commis-
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford", Oregon, Wednesday. May 28, 19SB 11

would be taken if Mueller
