HOPEFULS . 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.

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.

VANCOUVER. B.C. Ifl With
two of their favorite sports dom
inating Monday's calendar in the
British Empire Games, the Aus
tralians hope to skim away some
of the cream from the English cup
of tea which was the main course
on Saturday's muscle menu.
The track and field athletes are
taking Monday off the chief at
traction for sports-minded Van
couver and its thousands of visi
tors will be the swimming and
the Aussies are tops in the tank.
They are expected to dominate
the cycling too, and the first
spinning of the wlro wheels is on
Monday's program. Also sched
uled is competition in wrestling,
fencing, weightlifting and lawn
bowling.
Records tumbled right md left
as the 1954' games, fifth in the 24-,
year series opened Saturday, j
Eighteen-year-old Jon Henricks of
Australia predicted another mark :
would be brushed aside Monday j
in the 110-yard freestyle swim. If i
it is, he'll do it.
Henricks won his heat In the i
event Saturday in 50.9 seconds to
beat the old mark of 59. 0 and
said the finals should produce a
56 clocking1 lo Mower jt again.
Virginia Grant of Canada had the :
best time in the women's 110-yard !
freestyle, but Lorraine Joyce j
Crapp of Australia loafted to a 1
victory in her heat of the race '
and is the favorite in the finals.
Gold medals were awarded to
11 champions Saturday and nine
records were smashed. England
picked off three of the medals
winning one each in track, fencing
and wrestling and making its big
gest, show in the 6-mile race.
Peter Driver won the event in
29 minutes 9.2 seconds a record
for the gunies but a minute aad
a second slower than the world
mark held by Czechoslovakia's
Emit Zatopek. Frank Sandn and
Jim Peters followed him across
the fnish line to make it 1-2-3 for
England.
From that triple triumph came
a big chunk of the points which
put England In front unofficially
with a total of 68. Official team
totals are not kept but the press
corps scores final events on a 10-5-4-3-2-1
basis.
This put Australia second with
47 points. Canada third with 34 and
South Africa fourth with 28.
