MILWAUKEE (AP) The San
Francisco Giants smell World Se
ries money. And they're coming
up with the big victories in their
drive for the National ' League
pennant.
"Those are the kind we have to
win," said Manager Bill Rigney
Thursday night, after the Giants
choked off a late Milwaukee bid
to stage to a 5-3 triumph over the
inconsistent Braves.
The Giants were keyed up long
after the game which enabled
them to hold their two-game ad
vantage on runnerup Los Angeles
and drop' the Braves four lengths
behind.
"Those ninth inning chills are
rough," said Rigney when he per
mitted newsmen in the clubhouse
some 10 minutes after the finish
"Some of these ninth innings cer
tainly can be long."
The Braves threw a scare into
the Giants by pushing across
run in the ninth. With runners on
first and third, San Francisco'
right-hander Sam Jones got Hank
Aaron, the league s No. 1 batter,
to ground into a force play.
Jones . outlasted 38-year - old
Southpaw1 Warren Spahn, who
went1 the distance despite allowing
15 hits.
'This shows we can win In the big
ones, Kigney, sara wnn a Dig
grin. "I just hope all the boys are
thinking of a big pay day in the
series. All we have to do is keep
up."
The Braves weren t very happy
but were far from discouraged
after missing out on a big oppor
tunity to close in on the Giants,
"We still can do it, said Man
ager Fred Haney. "We're just go
ing to hae to cash in our op
portunities. We're not out of
yet."
LYLES TO W&L
LEXINGTON. Va. (UPI -
Joseph Francis Lyles, former St
Louis University athlete and
member of the Billiken basket
ball team which won the National
Invitation Tournament in New

Louis Browns' organization from
1949 to 1953.
would go to Sweden and talk to
the heavyweight champ about
title go.
'I would be very happy to go
Sweden if everything comes
out all right," Archie says.
But Arch isn't worried about
If that doesn't work out, he
said, he'd go about his business
hich in the near future will in
clude a screen test and financial
negotiations for a part in Huck
Finn.
"That's a tunny thing," Moore
mused. "All the kids read Huck
Finn but 1 never did. I was out
trying to make a living."
Can he act?
"I could do that," he said.
There's nothing to it. I've lived
along the river in St. Louis. And
n boxing, you act every day of
your life."
WOULD TAKE SIX WEEKS
The movie people would like to
start shooting right away, Moore
said, and it would 'take about six
weeks of his time.
I hate to be out at this time
because 1 - could keep in shape
with a little wbrk and I could
:o on a boxing exhibition to South
America right now."
As for fighting Robinson, Arch
said it's something he'd dearly
love to do.' About 3 million dol
lars worth of love.
That's what he figures a fight
with Robinson, outdoors, in Cali
fornia later "his year, might
yield.
Archie chatted with his wife
Joan, now recovered after a se
rious ear operation. He talked
laughed and clowned.
He's not worried about the
future.

The Phoenix Giants, Pacific
Coast League champs in 1958, just
another team in 1959, are stagger
ing close to the fringe of a 34-year-old
record.
It was in 1925 that tne Sacra
mento Solons picked up the some-
hat dubious distinction of being
(he losingcst in a siring team in
league history. The Solons bobbled
away 17 games in one strelcn in
that year.
The Giants, who move to ia-
coma next year, along with any
ccords they pick up in the mean
time, are working on a n-gaine
losing skein. They picked up de
lost No. 14 Thursday night, a 9-0
whitewashing at the hands of the
San Diego Padres.
The Salt Lake City Bees lost a
chance to move into first place
past the Portland Beavers by
plitting a bargain bill wun tnc
Solons, winning 5-0. then losing
by the same score. Portland and
Spokane were rained out.

NW Lead
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Salem Senators, apparently
not satisfied with just the first
half championship, slipped past
raincd-out Lewiston and stepped
into a tie with idle Wcnatchee for
the Northwest League lead Thurs
day night.
Salem combined a pair of triples
with an error and wild pitch to
beat Yakima 4-2. Al Johnston shut
out Tri-City on five hits as Eu
gene won 3-0. Wenatchee at Lew
iston was postponed by rain and
wet grounds.
Salem, which got off to a bad
start in the second half of the
NWL season, got off fast against
the Bears. Joe Wilson drove in .a
run with a triple in the first and
another scored on an error. A
triple by Carl Hutzlcr brought in
a run in the fifth and then he
scored on a wild pitch. Yakima's
runs were driven in by Hcrm
Lewis' double and Wall O'Neil's
homer;
Johnston struck our nine while
winning only his second game
Dick Pawlow's double brought in
the first Emerald run and a two-
bagger by Terry Maddox brought
in the others.
