Yank Winning Streak Halted By Hutchinson New York. July 19 (UP) New York figured itself the sjmrts capital of the world today but could not decide if Itocky Graziano, Ralph Branca or Willard Marshall la the president. Fred Hutchinson couldn't even be elected dogcatcher. Rocky came home yesterday with his middleweight boxing title and got a tumultuous welcome, and then the sports fans headed for the night hall games at Ebbets field and the Polo grounds, but their portable radios were tuned to the Yankee twilight game at Detroit. The Yanks, winners of 19 in a row to tie the American league record set In 1906 hy the Chicago White Sox, were trying to set a new record by lieatlng Hutchinson, a sore-armed right-hander who hadn't started in a month. But Hutchinson spoiled the Yankee party with a two-hlt. 8 to 0 victory that ended New York hopes of matching the major league record of 26 in a row set by the 1916 Giants Joe DiMaggio lined a single In the second inning and George i Stlrnweiss got a safe bunt in the seventh, but meanwhile Detroit pounded Randy Gumpert and Karl Drews for 18 hits, largest total of the year off Yank hurlers Leading the Tiger attack was the exuberant Hutchinson with two doubles and a single and two runs batted in. But the New York fans soon again had something to cheer abAtt. Branca, star Dodger righthander, pitched a one-hit 7 to 0 conquest of the world champion St. Ixtuls Cardinals. For seven innings he had a perfect game and the packed stands cheered each out as though it were a home run by Brooklyn. But Enos Slaughter opened the eighth with a clean single, and Branca relaxed enough to walk a man later. It was Branca's 15th victory. George Munger was the loser, being cuffed for five hits and five runs, and Al Brazle later gave up a two-run homer to Ja< kle Robinson. Ed Stanky got a triple and two doubles and scored three times as Robinson batted In three tallies. At the Polo grounds, the fans cheered power rather than finesse. Marshall hit three consecutive homers, becoming the 25th modern major leaguer to do that, and raised his total to 24. John Mize and Bob Thomson also homered as the Giants whipped Cincinnati, 8 to 3. and took second place, three games behind the Dodgers. It was Mize's 27th homer and Thomson's 16th Boston fell to third place when Kirby Higbe of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched a five-hit 2 to 1 victory made possible by Boston errors. Boots by Nanny Fernandez and Connie Ryan gave the Bucs a run in the eighth inning. Bill Voiselle was the loser. The Cubs beat the Phils, 7 to 5.
