Boston Braves Regain Lead In National Loop

New York. June 80.—I VP)-Earl Torgeaon and Jackie Robinson, two young flrut base stars that folks won't overlook when they look over ’’rookie of the year"-honors, were carrying a big share of the load today In the battle that their teams, the Braves and the Dodgers, are waging for the National league lead. There Is a curious parallel to their careers which dates back to opening day at Ebbeta field when Imth more or loss resembled clubfooted oxen In their fielding antics. Torgeaon. a heralded kid from Snohomish. Wash., didn't field a ground ball cleanly during the entire series with the Dodgers and Robinson, who had never played the first bag before, was uncertain In his efforts and had little luck at bat. Slowly, they Ironed out the fielding klnka and while neither performs like a Hal Chase around the bag, they are more than adequate and getting better. Vid at the plate they are terrific. On the last western road trip, Manager Billy Southworth benched Torgeson briefly because he wasn't hitting, and the rest worked wonders for he boosted his average 19 points to .294 over the weekend and won two games, beating the Dodgers Saturday with a ninth inning double and the Phils yesterday with a two run homer in the second game as the Braves took a pair, 8 to 7 and 4 to 2. Bob Elliott broke up the opener with a double that scored the winning run in the 10th after Barna Rowell had doubled home the lying run in the ninth. Bill Voiselle pitched a fivehitter to register his first victory for the Braves in the second game. The Braves made 17 bits in the opener in which Al Lakeman and Andy Seminick hit homers. Dei Ennis hit a second game Philly homer. The Dodgers yielded first place to the Braves when they divided with the Giants at New York, winning the opener, 4 to 3 with a two run rally In the ninth, then losing the second game, 9 to 5 as New York staged a six-run rally in the eighth that featured homers by Sid Gordon. Johnny Mize and Willard Marshall. Robinson got five hits tn a row in the two games and stole three bases raising his league leading total to 18. Eddie Stanky doubled to start the winning inning In the opener and Robinson sent him home with a single then stole second, took third on a sacrifice and raced home with the deciding tally on Arky Vaughan's single. Stanky got a second game homer. The Cardinals staged three sixrun rallies, one in a lost cause as they split a double header with the Reds at St. Louis, losing the opener 9 to 7 and winning the second. 17 to 2 with their biggest run-mak-ing spree of the year. The first six-run uprising came too late for them to overtake the Reds, but their bats were hot and they piled t up 15 rune in the first three in- * ninga of the nightcap. Ron Nortbey started them rolling with a homer that accounted for two tallies in the three run first inning, then they added six more in the second and another six in the third. Enos Slaughter batted in 10 runs for the day, seven In the second game. Eddie Miller hit a first game homer for the Reds. The Pirates also went on a batting spree, topping the Cube, 10 to 4, at Chicago on a 14-hlt stuck led by Ralph Kiner and Wally Westlake, who hit homers. Westlake's blow with the bases loaded, came in his first start of the year after undergoing a back operation. Kir by Higbe won his fifth victory for Pittsburgh. ( The astonishing Athletics, cashing in on home runs, took two from the Red Sox, 8 to 2 and 6 to 5 at Philadelphia. Phil Marchildon. winning his seventh game in the opener with a six-hitter, was backed up by Sam Chapman and Pete Suder, who hit bowers. Wally Moses got one for Boston. In the second game the key blow was Furria Fain’s grand slam homer in a five-run fifth inning rally that nullified a4to 0 Boston lead. Tod WilHama homered for the Red Sox. The Yankees split with Washington, but increased their American League lead to 4% games. Early Wynn’s five-hit pitching was good enough for a 5 to 1 Washington victory In the opener in which Mickey Vernon hit his first homer ot the year for the winners. The Yankees took the second came. I to 1, Allie Reynolds sating the victory for Don Johnson with fine relief pitching. The Tigers swept their four game series with the Browns by winning 7 to 5 and 6 to 1 decisions at Detroit. Hal Newhouser pitched his eighth victory In the opener and chipped in three singles io load the 14>bit Detroit attack. Paul (Dizzy) Trout was In his best form ot the season in the second game

Today s Sport Parade | By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off.) ° Nev York. June 30.—(UP)— and errors on the baseball scene: , The New York Yankees sport a 4-% game lead In the American league — largest edge any club has enjoyed this season and it has caused a sharp division of sentiment among baseball men. They »i* torn between a desire to see Bucky Harris win—end Urry MacPhall lose. The feeling against loquacious Iwrry Is Intense and widespread. "For the sake of Harris and the players I’d like to see the Yankees win," one baseball man said this week. "But I don’t wish MacPhall any luck." . . . A saliva test would appear to be in order for Eddie Miller, the little mechanical man of the Cincinnati Reds. Eddie conked his 13th homer of the year yeaterday. But up to this season he bls only 55 in 10 years. His top four-master output was 14 tor the Braves in 1940 . . . The Braves and the Glanta are more or less even up In their trade of Bill Voiselle for Mort Cooper. Cooper beat the Phils on Saturday so Voiselle turned around and did It yesterday. Big Mort gave up nine lilts while Voiselle looked even better with a fivehitter . . . tn fact, Manager Ben Chapman of the Phillies made it awfully easy for Mort. That was the game In which he made Al Jurislch take his lumps all the way and ft was a long, tough road as the Giants belted him for 14 runs and 16 hlta ... but can you imagine Giant owner Horace Stoneham complaining to leauge president Ford Frick after being handed the game on a platter? . . . With Red Ruffing on the shelf because of injuries, the game’s two oldest pitchers squared off In a duel which didn’t go very far. Mel Harder. 88-year-old Indians' "Sunday pitcher,” lasted only five frames but 40-year-old Thornton Lee of the White Sox waan’t around much longer—one-third Inning to be exact . . . Times change department: Mickey Vernon of Washington led major league .hitters last year with a .353 mark. Under .800 all season, be got his first 1947 homer yesterday . . . Meanwhile. Jackie Robinson got five straight hits, for a 18-game streak which raised his average to to .321. He also swiped three sacks for a total of 13 . . .
