During the last 33 seasons, the July 4 leader in the National won the pennant 17 times and In the American 22 times. But the Braves, who have gone* longer without a pennant than any team In the major leagues, still will have to go some to top the only other Borton club to take a National league flag - the “miracle men" of 1914.

The Phillies made It three straight over the Dodgers at Brooklyn, winning 4 to 2 on steady pitching by Lyn Rowe, who handed the Bum* their fifth straight loss. Eddie Miller led the Phillies with three of their 12 hits. A seven-run first Inning rally enabled the Yankees to coast to a 10 to 7 victory over the Red Box In the rubber game of their important series of three. Frank ’Dutch) Hiller, whose pitching was nothing to write home about, staggered through to his second triumph, principally on his own hitting, a tbreerun double which was the big blow of the hlg Inn•ng Vera Stephens. Johnny Pesky, and Bobby Doerr hi’. Red Sox homers. Stephens coming with two vbase. but Ted Williams went hitless for the first time after 18 straight games. After being nohitted by Bob Letnon. on Wednesday, the Tigers roared back with a 13-hil. 9 to 5 triumph at Detroit. Pat Mullin hitting a homer and double in the eame which found Hal Newhouser
