Trip
Giants
Snap
Streak
By BEN FI1LEGAB
AP Sports Writer
The Milwaukee Braves are build
ing up steam lor a fast sweep
along the Eastern Seaboard which
should determine whether there is
any substance to the ghost of a
chance they still hold in the Na
tional League pennant race.
A highly regarded entry during
spring training, the Braves floun
dered through the first half of the
season. But they've started to roll
in the last two weeks and last night
they ran their current winding
streak to six games with a 6-4
victory at Pittsburgh.
A getaway game with the
Pirates today will be followed by
four games In Brooklyn starting
tomorrow night,, three in Phila
delphia and three with the New
York Giants.
It would take a virtual sweep to
make the Braves' a serious threat.
Teams have done it before, al
though not recently.
Milwaukee trails the second
place Dodgers by 8 games and the
Giants by 10. In the past week the
Braves have cut their deficit by
5'.; lengths.
Neither the Braves nor the Dod
gers gained any ground yesterday
because the Giants broke their six
game losing streak at tbe expense
of the St. Louis Cardinals 10-0.
Philadelphia vaulted into fourth
place with a 3-2 victory over Cin
cinnati, Brooklyn defeated Chicago
3-1.
The Cleveland Indians kept loll
ing over the Boston Red Sox, 2-1
for the 15th time in 16 decisions.
New York beat Chicago 7- 5 on
Mickey Mantle's three-run homer
in the ninth. Joe Coleman pitched
a three - hitter as Baltimore
trimmed Washington 2-1 and De
troit trounced Philadelphia 10-2.

Marciano
To Take
Physical
NEW YORK Wl Rocky Marci
ano is In town today for a physical
exam and a conference that prob
ably will result in a Sept. 16
Yankee Stadium rematch with ex-
champ Ezzard Charles.
The heavyweight champion has
been vacationing at Cape Cod and
Grossinger, N. Y. since he won,
a unanimous decision over Charles
in a rousing 15-round bout at the
Stadium, June 17. Charles fought
a courageous battle but was well
battered at the final bell.
In the hours after that battle
with Charles, Dr. Vincent Nardi
ejlo operated on Marciano's eye,
removing old scar tissue from a
fight of years ago. He had been
cut again early in the Charles bout
and bled freely throughout the con
test. Rocky still wears a slight scar
over the eye is the result of that
operation but believes he will be
ready to start boxing in a week
or 10 days.
"I'd like to fight again this
year," he said ' yesterday. "The
long layoff (nine months) was too
much. I need more fights." ,
Al Weill, Rocky's manager, has
been holding out on a definite sign
ing with the excuse that he want
ed to be sure that the eye had
healed perfectly.

Rickey's Formula Places
Ruth, Hubble High On List
NEW YORK W Branch Rickey.
who has been coming up with
ideas since he started in baseball
a half-century ago, has a brand
new one for the players and fans
to mull over.
The 70-year-old general manager
of the Pittsburgh Pirates has re
duced to a mathematical formula
the answer to why pennant winning
teams of the past 35 years have
been successful.
"The formula is so revealing and
unrefutable," he says in a story In
Life magazine, "that it has com
pelled me to put different values
on some of my oldest and cher
ished, memories."
For example he names his 25
top hitters and 10 best pitchers and
the results are bound to cause
controversy.
Babe Ruth is the No. 1 hitter
and Carl Hubbell the best pitcher.
Ty Cobb, who was regarded by
many experts as the greatest hit
ter of all time, is only No. 23, and
Hubbell Is placed above the likes
of Glover Cleveland Alexander,
Lefly Grove and Dizzy Dean.
In the hitting department,
George Slsler, Bill Terry and Paul
Waner, all of whom were over the
.400- mark at least once in thelrnumber of runs, exclusive of those
careers, are not listed In the top
25. .
The formula works on the basis
that the team with the widest plus
margin in scoring runs as com
pared to the giving up of runs
usually wins the pennant. Rickey
says it has proved correct 96.2 per
cent of the .time In the last 20
years. '
It deals solely with offense, with
the stress on power. He scoffs at
Iteming averages, and takes these
three basic Ingredients: 1. On base
average 2. Extra base power 3.
Clutch hitting combined with speed
and ability to take the extra base.
Under his: rating, Rickey rates
Ted Williams second to Ruth fol
lowed, in order, by Jimmy Foxx,
Rogers Honisby, Hank Greenberg,
Ralph Klner, Stan Musial, Joe Di
Maggio and Mel Ott.
In rating the pitchers, Rickey ad
mits he has not been able to figure
a better method ihan the present
one of earned run averages the
scored because of errors, that are
charged to a pitcher.
