double-header loss to Pittsburgh in
3(i seasons.
The New York Giants were six
games ahead of Brooklyn and 8!i
in front of Milwaukee going into
Sunday's action. But they now lead
Milwaukee by only four lengths
and Brooklyn by five. The Giants
and Brooklyn bath lost two out of
three. Milwaukee won four.
Cleveland picked up a full game
on New York Sunday In the Amer.

ever has won more. The Yankees
lost two out of three.
There's a new leader In the
American League batting race.

to Noren's .333.
In yesterday's games Milwaukee
defeated Chicago 13-2 and e-1.
Pittsburgh beat Brooklyn 9-6 in
12 Innings and 9-7. The Giants
whipped Philadelphia 8-4 but Rob
in Roberts came back to win his
20th game In the nightcap 5-4 in
11 innings. St. Louis bumped Cin
cinnati 8-1 in a single game.
Bb Lemon of the Indians be

ran their season's total attendance
to 2,001,091, tops in both leagues.
Only the Yankees and Indians ever
have drawn more than two million
fans in a year.
Roberts, the Phillies' strong,
armed right-hander, became the
first pitcher since Carl Hubbell to
reach the 20-game mark in five
consecutive seasons. He made it
when fleet-footed Richie Ashburn
scampered home from second base
on an infield single by Granny
Hamner.
Trailing by five runs early In
the game, the Pirates beat the
Dodgers in the first contest when
Billy Loes walked two men in the
12th with the bases loaded and
Curt Roberts laid down a squeeze
bunt which scored a third man.
Five runs In the first inning
against Don Newcombe put the
Pirates on the winning trail in the
second game and the Dodgers
couldn't catch up despite home
runs by Roy Campanella. Jackie
Robinson and Sandy Amoros.
At Baltimore, Lemon;s hitting
support in the first game came
mainly from Al Smith, who banged
two doubles and two singles. Dick
Kryhoski's bases-loaded single in
the 10th Inning of the nightcap pre
vented a Cleveland sweep.
Andy Carey's bases-loaded sin
gle in the last of the ninth cli
maxed the Yankees' uphill climb
auainst Boston In the opener at

two-run homer in the eighth gave
the Red Sox the runs they needed
to capture the second game. Ted
Williams collected four straight
hits in the nightcap and six during
the afternoon.
Ned Garvcr held the White Sox
to four hits in Detroit's first vic
tory. Harvey Kuenn singled home
the winning run in the 10th inning
of the second game after Minnie
Minoso had tied the score in the
ninth with homer.

won his first game since July SO
and his 16th of the season in beat
in Cincinnati on eight hits. Ted
Kluszewski, the majors' leading
a swollen ankle.

single in Washington's victory.
