For Stars
By The Associated Press
Seattle Invades Hollywood's Gil-
more Field Friday night for the
first game in a four-game series
for leadership of the Pacific Coast
League.
Seattle arrives with only a lialf
game lead, having taken an 11-t
pounding Thursday night in oak-
land after winning the first 'three
games from the downtrodden Oaks.
Hollywood gained a full game
on the Rainiers by hanging a 4-2
decision on San Diego as Bill Mac-
Donald went seven innings ireiore
getting help from lefty Lloyd Hit
tie. Manager Bob Margan, Dale
Long and Jack Phillips hit homers

Oakland slammed Seattle's Art
Del Duca, Tom Lovrlch, Jim Su-

all Its runs in the .fifth.
Portland and Los Angeles played
a tight 1-1 game until the seventh,
when the Angels' third baseman,
Tod Davis, homered over the left
field wall. That seemed to De tne
signal for an . uprising, for Los
Angeles got fivp more bits during
the inning and went on to clobber
the Ports, 11-5. Cal McLIsh, the
Angels' smokeball right-hander,
eased up. In the ninth and was
tagged for three runs.

(For Gayto Talbot) '';
NEW YORK OB The name ' of
Ralph Branca, the man wno maoe
Bobby Thomson "The Hero," Is
going, the rounds of the major
league waiver lints a $10,000 pitch
er with a 0-0 record.
For years' the Dodgers stuck
with Branca, Just as the club went
along with Rex Barney, the Omaha
wild man; hoping he would -live
up to his early promise. Now
they're ready to give up,' u mey
can make the right kind of a deal.
Branca "remains a mystery. Back
in 1947. when he was 21 and fresh
out of New York University, he
won 21 ball games In the National
League. He won 14 the next year,
then 13, down to seven and back
to 13 In 1951. Then It happened.
TIED' .. -
Brooklyn and New York finished
in a -tie for first place. Each had
won a playoff game. Don New-
combe. ; struggling' with every
nitch. coddled a '4-1 lead Into the
ninth inning of the uura ana iinai
game at the Polo Grounds.
Newcombe had lost one run 'of
his lead and there were men on
second and third with one out
when Manager Chuck Dressen,
calling his bullpen by telephone,
got the word, "Branca is ready,
Branca threw one pitch to Bobby
Thomson, a called strike. The next
rode Into the left field stands for
a home run that left Its mark on
Branca' as surely as Fred Merkle's
failure to touch second base In
another game In the same park
left its stamp on him.
There was an unforgettable pic
ture in the pipers the next day of
Branca, slumped m utter despair,
with his head between his kneesN
in the Dodger clubhouse at the
Polo Grounds. -
My fame is sure, thanks "to
your Sunday pitch."
Branca, who once aspired to
career as a night club singer and
did winter tour on a vaudeville
circuit, replied in kind:
Because of you. I should never
nave been born
Because of you Dodger fans
are forlorn
Because of you thev yell .'dron
And

"To sever forever and corn."
Big Ralph never deserved tn m
down In history as the fellow who
made Thomson "The Hero." May-
m cuange of scenery will help.

DUET
During the 1951-52 winter, Bran

the baseball writers' show, to the
tune of "Because of You." Thom

this:..,.; 1 '''.

Is Milwaukee Hospitality Backfiring?
MILWAUKEE Wl There's a
growing belief in these parts that
Milwaukee's famed hospitality is
back-firing a bit as far as the
city's major league baseball club
is concerned.
"They're living pretty high on
the hawg." was the blunt comment
in the Stadium as the Milwaukee
Braves closed a dismal home
stand which showed only seven
victories against 13 losses and a
tie. "They're losing the ones they
were winning before."
There's no disputing that the
team that left to open a 17-day trip
Friday night In St. Louis was
barely out of third place and
hardly the same one that came
home June 16 only six percentage
points off the league lead after
burning up the circuit's eastern
end to post a 25-15 road record.
The Braves promptly cuffed Phil
adelphia three straight and moved
into first place;
Then the hitting suddenly fell off.
So did the pitching. All at once,
the home record collapsed from
14-4 to 21-17.
Manager Charlie Grimm refuses
to be ruffled by his team's slide
towards third place.
But even Grimm, who was
around here before when Milwau
kee was in the American Associa
tion, never has seen anything like
the adulation poured in in con
crete form on his players.
Everything's on the. house when
one or more Braves shows up al
most anywhere.
