Tom Morgan, left, and Bob Grim arc two young right danders on whom the New; York Yankees are banking to keep them in the American League pennant race with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox. By JACK HAND AP Sports, Writer -Where would the Milwaukee Braves be today if they still had Johnny Antonelli? Although they traded away the young lefty who has turned out to be the top winner in the majors with a gaudy 16-2 record, the slug ging Braves are a positive factor in the National League race. All that hitting, and Antonelli too, might very well have meant a sure-fire pennant in Milwaukee this season. Of course, they may make it anyhow, the way they've been going on their 10-game win ning streak. The Braves can't be criticised too harshly for they felt they needed long-distance power in the outfield and could afford to sacri fice a front-line pitcher. How did they know that Bobby Thomson would break his .ankle in spring training and be lost for most of the season? Yesterday, Antonelli ran his win ning streak to 11, longest of the season in either league, as the New York Giants roughed up Cin cinnati 0-4 in the first game of a double-header. The Giants also won Ihe second game 6-0 on Jim Hearn's six-hitter to pull 5'2 games ahead of Brooklyn. Beaning Taken By Adcock By ED CORRIGAN BROOKLYN Wl "It's all part of Ihe game, I guess," Joe Adcock sighed before heading for Ebbets Field and another joust with the Brooklyn Dodgers. "I'm not mad at anybody." Adcock was talking about his narrow escape yesterday when he was beaned by Clem Lablne. The slugging Milwaukee Braves' first baseman, who broke a hatful ol records Saturday when he hXt four home runs and a double, was car ried from the field practically un conscious after being hit. "When a fellow throws me high and. tight, I don't mind," Adcock continued. "I can duck that kind of pitch. But when he throws be hind your head, I think he means business. But what's there to be mad about? I'm Just out there to make a living." The beaning almost precipitated a full-scale riot when charges and countercharges were . hurled be tween the two teams. Jackie Robinson and Lew Bur- dctte of the Braves came closest to getting into a fight and had to be separated by players and um pires, while Adcock was on the ground, the Braves began accus lng Lablne of throwing the bean ball on purpose. Addressing a remark to Burdette Robinson said: "That was only an accident and you know it. You're a fine one to complain about beanballs. You throw at practically everyone." Then they went at It. "Can you imagine that Bur dette?" Robinson said indignantly later. "I was watching Ed Mathews out of one eye, though. I thought he'd try to sneak one in." Lablne. for his part, denied try ing to hit Adcock. "I wasn't trying to hit him in the head. That goes without say ing, doesn't it? I was only trying to brush him back. Instead of twisting back, he actually ducked Into the pitch." Only the fact that he was wear ing a protective plastic helmet, the type pioneered by Branch Rickey, kept Adcock from being injurea seriously, according to Dr. Eugene Zorn, the Brooks' team doctor. No X-rays were taken and Adcock had nothing more .than a slight head ache. 'Vy The Braves won the game 14-6. SUNDAY'S BASEBALL By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pet.
