SATURDAY,,'SEPTEDMER 22, 195$ THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN' SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1958 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE ~EVI~%T a. ai V7AU1 1.7L L1 :7 Braves Win; Trail Dodgers by .002 in NL Race Spahn Earns 19th Win; Pirates Nip Brooklyn, 2-1 Red Sox Blast Yankees; Cleveland Routs Detroit MILWAUKEE (P)-The pennant chasing Milwaukee Braves hauled to within two percentage points of a tie for first place last night by beating the Chicago Cubs, 6-4, as the leading Brooklyn Dodgers were defeated, 2-1, by the'Pirates at Pittsburgh. The Braves threw the torrid Na- tional League race into a virtual. tie by jumping off to a three run lead in the first two innings and padding it in later innings as starter Warren Spahn and relief- er Gene Conley held off the Cubs. Braves Outhit The Braves were outhit 11 to 8 as they won the first game of a brief home stand that will close up the regular season in Milwau- kee County Stadium. A crowd of 30,397 Milwaukee fans, who have been denied a pennant since the Braves came to town, turned out in 55 degree weather. Spahn, who went seven and a third innings before running into trouble, took his 19th victory of the year against 10 defeats as he shoots for his seventh 20-victory season with the Braves. It was the 202nd victory of his brilliant major league career and his third with- out a loss this season over the Cubs. Pittsburgh 2, Brooklyn 1 PITTSBURGH (P)-A two-run homer by Frank Thomas, his 23rd of the season, jolted Brooklyn's National League pennant drive last night as the sixth place Pitts- burgh Pirates defeated the Dodg- ers, 2-1. With eight games remaining, the Dodgers now have an 88-58 record. The Braves are 89-59 with six games left. Thomas' Polpe Third Hit Thomas' long poke in the sev- enth inning, clearing the left field wall, came with one out following a leadoff double by Bill Virdon- only the third hit allowed to that point by righthander Sal Maglie. Maglie, taking his fifth defeat in 16 decisions, had won six in a row and was 21-4 lifetime over the Bucs. Ron Kline rode in on the homer for his 14th victory, against 16 defeats. The 24-year-old right- hander, who hadn't beaten the Dodgers in three previous deci- sions this year, gave eight hits, but stayed out of trouble except for the seventh, when the Brooks scored, and the eighth innings. Gil Hodges' double, a pair of in- field outs and Junior Gilliam's single to deep short scored the Brooklyn run in the top of the seventh. Kline in Trouble In the eighth, Kline got in a hole with two out when Randy Jackson, playing third base for the injured Jackie Robinson, walk- ed and Sandy Amoros followed with asingle. But Kline then put a called third strike past pinch- hitter Rube Walker on a 3-2 pitch. BOSTON (R)--Marvelous Mickey Mantle blasted his way into Amer- ican League and New York Yan- kee history last night with his 51st home run but couldn't stem the tide of a 13-7 Boston Red Sox triumph. In the wild, zany contest Mickey gained ground on Boston's Ted Williams in the batting derby while the Yanks bettered the mark for most runners left on base with 20. Mantle Ups Average Mantle hiked his batting aver- age to .353 to gain two percentage points on Williams who advanced to .356 -- still 24 at bats short of the required 400 with seven games remaining. Mantle's 480 foot belt, which hit inches from the top of the wall behind Fenway Park's center-field bleachers, gave the Yanks a league mark of 183 homers for a single season. New York held the pre- vious high of 182 established in 1936. Singles Twice Mickey also singled twice, drew a walk, scored three times, drove in a pair of tallies and wasn't stopped until reliefer George Susce grabbed his high hopper and threw him out in the seventh inning. He flied to center in the eighth. Williams got two singles in four trips including an arching fly to Ann Arbor Wins KALAMAZOO -- Ann Arbor High School continued its per- ennial winning ways here last night with a 32-12 victory over Kalamazoo Central. The triumph marked the Pi- oneers' 40th consecutive game without defeat. HOMER JOLTS BROOKLYN - Frank Thomas hit his 23rd home run of the season as the Pittsburgh Pirates nosed out the Brooklyn Dodgers, 2-1. HITS 51st HOMER-Mickey Mantle got his fifty-first home run last night in a losing cause against the Red Sox. The four bagger traveled 480 feet. Jack Wardrop Gains Berths 7 On British Olympic Squad left which dropped eighth after which pinchrunner. Ted once, scored twice one run. safelyI, nthe he left for a was walked and drove in LONDON (P)-Former Michigan swimming star Jack Wardrop will be a top British hope for a medal at the Olympic games in Mel- bourne in November. Holder of three world records, the 24-year-old Scot won a place yesterday on the British team for the third straight time-despite some strong opposition to his se- lection from some of his country- men. Opposed by Some Many people in British swim- ming circles argued that Ward- rop should be left out because he had not competed for England this year or taken part in the national championships. He had spent three years on Michigan's tank squad. After much deliberation, the. selectors decided to ignore the anti-Wardrop faction and enter his name for the 400 meters free- style and the 200 meters relay race. He was considered vital to Brit- ain's chances in those events. Wardrop recently returned home after four years as a student at Michigan where he benefitted from top-class coaching and competi- tion. He was suspended from the Wolverine squad last January after a clash with Coach Gus Stager. Holds Three Records Wardrop is the world record holder for 200 meters and 220 yards freestyle and the 400 metets individual medley. Melbourne will. be his third Olympics. He swam at Wembley in 1948 and at Helsinki in 1952 without winning any med- als. The former Wolverine joins 17-j year-old Neil McKechnie, triple British champion, in the relay and the 400 meters. Ken Williams and 33-year-old London policeman Ron Roberts complete the relay squad --one that is capable of breaking the Olympic record of 8:3 1.1. Roberts, rated among. Britain's best sprinters, is entered for the 100 meters. He won that event in Moscow last November, but his time of 0:58.1 seconds did not sug- gest he was capable of winning an Olympic medal.

Tigers Drop Back The Tigers, who had won 5 in a row and 12 of their last 13 en- counters, dropped 21 games be- hind the fourth-place Boston Red Sox, 13-7 winners over New York.

The win kept alive Cincinnati's faded hopes for a National League flag, 'putting them three games back of the leading Brooklyn Dodgers who lost to Pittsburgh's Pirates, 2-1. Reach Mizell Early The Reds jumped on starter Wilmer Mizell in the second in- ning for three runs on Wally Post's first homer, a hit batsman, a walk and a triple by Nuxhall that brought two runs across. In the Redlegs' big inning-the seventh-three Cardinal pitchers were pounded for five hits and six runs, three of them on Post's second homer of the game. - B errios Decisions Chestnut In Televised Ten Rounder. Giants 7, Phils 3 NEW YORK - The New York Giants pounced on rookie right- hander Dick Farrell and Ron Ne- gray for 7 runs in the 5th inning and defeated the Phillies, 7-3, last night. Southpaw Johnny Antonelli went all the way for the Giants to pick up his 18th victory against 13 defeats, holding the Phillies to seven hits while fanning seven and walking three. Farrell Driven From Box { In the big fifth explosion the Giants hammered out six hits while also benefitting from a walk and a hti batsman. Farrell mak- ing his first major league start, was driven from the box in this inning and Negray also took a lathering. There was one home run in the game, by rookie outfielder Bob Bowman of the Phillies. Willie Mays of the Giants stole his 37th and 38th bases of the sea- son, the highest number of thefts by a National Leaguer since Kiki Cuyler's 43 in 1929.

Triandos walloped two. homers, his 20th and 21st of the season, to remove himself from the "goat" status into which he got himself by a boner in the second. The Baltimore catcher dropped the ball as Lyle Luttrell stole home for Washington's first run.- Triandos hit one of his homers into the left field stands in the second with none on. In the fourth, he hit the second into the same stands and scored behind Triandos also singled and scored Tito Francona, who had singled. in the eighth. White Sox 4-2, A's 2-3 CHICAGO -- The Kansas City Athletics defeated the Chicago White Sox, 3-2 in 10innings, aft- er losing the opener of a twi-light night doubleheader, 4-2, last night. Jim Pisoni singled and tallied on Joe DeMaestri's triple in the 10th inning of the final. It gave Art Ditmar his 12th victory in a duel with Dick Donovan, who had balked in the first inning to give the A's .one of a pair of runs. Sherm Lollar collected three singles and a triple as the Comis- keys outhit the A's, 11-7. He'drove in both runs, his triple tying the score at 2-2 in the eighth.

DETROIT () - Miguel Berrios of Puerto Rico hammered out a split decision over Ike Chestnut of New York last night in a hard- fought nationally televised feath- Browns Win CHICAGO (A) - The cham- pion Cleveland Browns turned a pair of fumbles into touch- downs and rolled to their first National Football League ex- hibition victory by beating the previously undefeated Chicago Bears 24-14 Friday night be- fore a Soldier Field crowd of 67,543, erweight 10-rounder at Olympia Stadium here. Berrios weighed 127; Chestnut, 1283/. After getting off to a slow start, the 5'2" Berrios unleashed heavy hooks in the later stages of the fight to gain the nod over his tall- er oponent. Under the "must five" scoring system now being tested by the Michigan Boxing Commission, Judge Jack Asper gave the fight to Berrios 46-43. Judge Al Good- man had it 48-40 for Berrios, while. Referee John Weber voted 45 for Chestnut to 44 for Berrios. The Associated Press saw it 49-39 for Berrios. The fast and strong Berrios is currently sixth among the 126- pounders. The more orthodox Chestnut, a New Yorker, is pres- ently ninth. Both contenders have good rec- ords this year. Berrios' best fight was his decisive trouncing of Flash Elorde last month at San Francisco. Chestnut stopped Car- melo Costa in July for his most impressive victory to date.
