MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, August S, 1958 Upstart Pirates Mali Braves 4-3 on M&nth Dnning Momer United Pres International Those upstart Pittsburgh Pi rates have "braked" the Mil waukee Braves' threatened runaway and there may yet be a pennant race in the Na ' tional league. The Pirates, battling to fin ish in the first division for the first time since 1948, snapped the Braves' six-game winning streak, 4-3, Monday night on a ninth-inning homer by Ro berto Clemente. The San Francisco Giants, who beat the Chicago Cubs, 6-4, in an afternoon game, thus moved within four games of the Braves and the Pirates moved up to within six of the world champions. And so, all the talk of a Milwaukee runaway that started after the Braves' four game weekend sweep of the Giants, is quieted. The Braves may go on to win another pen. nant but their opposition hasn't fciven up ye.t Best In the Majors The ! Pirates, now three games ahead of the fourth place Cubs, have won four straight games and 17 of 26, a .654 pace since July 4 when they were in seventh place. For the last week or so, they've been getting the best pitching in either league they had a string of 34 con secutive scoreless innings when the Braves scored in the third inning Monday night and they're getting long-ball punch from such relatively under -publicized players as Clemente, Bob Skinner and Dick Stuart. Skinner drove in the Pi rates first three runs Monday night with a two-run single in the first inning and an in field out in the fifth. That pro duced a 3-3 tie that stood until Clemente's ninth -jn-ning fiomer gave rookie Curt Kaydon his fifth win and Barlow Chief of Judges For Regional Water Ski Meet at Gardener Lake William Barlow Sr., Pied mont, Calif., president of the Pacific Coast council of the American Water Ski associa tion will be chief judge for the Western Regional champ ionships of the ASWA at Gar dener lake.
