Although Ostermueller. now in hi* 10th season of major league Play, was removed in the ninth in nitig he earned tin- victory with which he was credited despite |>oor i fielding support Third baseman Bob Elliott, for example, made three costly erors. ami Buddy: K'-n• * home run in the eighth took a questiotialde bounce right over Jim Russell * lu-ad Regardless of Manager Mel Ott's stormy but futile protest against the final out of Phil Weintraub, who < laitned that the pitch-had Im his foot instead of the bat.
