Brooklyn's glee over dumping
"them Giants" three in a row is
tempered by the knowledge that
giddy Milwaukee, on a nine-game
spree, shows no signs of running
out of firewater,
. The Giants' lead, once a bulging
seven games, now measures only
half a game over the Dodgers. The
Braves are 3',i games behind.
If Brooklyn beats the Phillies to
night in the only game scheduled,

games in front of New York in
the American League race. The
Indians ran their winning streak
to six by downing Baltimore 5-2
and 3-1.
The Yanks scored eight in the

8-7, dropping 9' games behind
Cleveland. Johnny Schmitz pitched
Washington to a 4-1 victory over
Philadelphia.
Billy Loes' pitching was a most

the Brooks with three gift runs in
the second, the sluggers took over,
Duke Snider and Gil Hodges hom
ered and Jackie Robinson contrib
