Dodgers Jump Info Lead In . National Loop New York, June 6 fl’Pi "Any team In the league can win this pennant race.” That was the firm opinion today of round faced Billy Herman, the freshman pilot of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who wasn't even ruling out his own boys despite the fact they had Just taken their fourth straight beating from his old team mates, the bristling Brooklyn Dodgers. "We've seen them all and they're all tough." he said. "But I don't think any team has both the power and the pitching to get hot and stay hot." Herman rued the situation on his club which finds the pitchers and hitters unable to get together for a big day at the same time. "When the hitters are hot. the pitchers are cold and vice versa.” he said. “If they all start clicking at once, we might be as tough as anybody.” It was that inability to hit on all cylinders which cost the Bucs their four straight losses in Brooklyn. Yesterday, with young Harry Taylor of the Dodgers no-hitting everyone on the team except Wally Westlake, who made a triple and single. Brooklyn scored a 3 to 0 shutout. Lefty Fritz Ostennueller, whose special delight Is in beating the Brooks since they cast him aside in 1944. turned in the best Pirate hurling of the series, but the batters let him down. Ralph Kiner, Hank Greenberg, and Cully Rikard who rattled the fences in the other games, couldn't touch Taylor who gave no hits after the fourth, striking out five and walking six as he won his third straight complete game Jackie Robinson with a homer and two singles and Bruce Edwards with a single, and triple, led the Dodger attack Herman s views were reflected accurately in the "double knockout” Giant-Cub series which wound up in a draw with both clubs tied for second behind Bnuiklyn which “sneaked" into the lead as they spilt a double bill. Chicago won the opener. 5 to 1, on Paul Erick son's three-hlt pitching in which Bobby Thomson's homer spoiled a shutout. The Giants put on an eight-run third inning rally in which 13 men batted and Buddy Kerr atuNpitcher Montie Kennedy got two hits apiece to win the second game. 9 to 3. Kennedy, batted out the previous day. came back to win his fifth game. Bill Rigney homered for New York The Cardinals scored their 10th victory in 16 starts, defeating the Braves at Boston. 5 to 3. on Marty Marion's three run homer in the ninth. Despite their first

The Athletics moved into a three-way tip for third place at Chicago, defeating the White Box. 5 to 2, on Jess Flores' three-hitter.
