Aug 9 (UP)—The Boston Braves fell heir today to i that "miracle” tag hung on their 1914 predecessors, for. after their worst slump of the season, they still held the National league lead with a fat four game edge. These current upstarts dropped five out of eight and still show a clean pair of heels, blowing only a game and a half in a rough week as the challengers polished off each other. The Braves started up the road back behind "old 96.” as Bill Vol sella steamed in with- his 12th win . . . and to think that those New York Giants, who don't have a pitcher to pot shot with, peddled him off for a wing which never had a prayer . . . Taking two from the Phils for eight out of 10, the Cards took second place and continued to save Eddie Dyer's managerial toga from alterations for a new tenant. Stan (The Man) Musial appears ss robust as usual, he belted number 27 to tie Hank Hauer and

Indians Hand Yanks Double Defeat Sunday New York. Aug. » — H Pl U>u Boudreau as a prophet put Lou Boudreau, the manager on a terrific spot by insisting his Indians would win the pennant, but ft began to look today as if he would get off of it with a little more help from M>u Boudreau, the ball plaver. Boudreau made no Itones altout it when he said Cleveland would finish in front because it was the beat club in the American le.agtie. But right after he got through with his "propheteering'' the Indians went sour and tumbled from first to fourth place, making hl* appear slightly foolish in print. They bounced right back, however. and with seven victories in their last eight game*, including three out of four from the world champion Yankees, they were back on top today and threatening to stay there despite the four-team stampede for the lead Yesterday, with Boudreau returning to action as a pinch-hit-ter after being hobbled with injuries. the Indians defeated tlw Yankees. 8 to 6 and 2 to 1, for one of the most vital double triumphs of the season. t Boudreau's pinch-single delivered two runs In a five-run seventh of the opener, after which Eddie Robinson clinched the victory with a two-run homer. Robinson, who hit hree homers In the double header, also put Steve Gromek out in front in the second game with his third round-trfpper against rookie Bob Porterfield, making his much-pub-licized major league debut. Porterfield lost a touch four-hitter when ex-Yankee Joe Gordon singled, moved up on a sacrifice and scored on Jim Hegan's single. He went out with a fractured index finger, suffered when he stopped a liner by Hal Peck with his throwing hand. The Athletics hung on closely in second place just six percentage points behind Cleveland by defeat Ing the Browns. 7 to 6 as Dick Fowler won his llth game. Fowler hit a home run to start Philadelphia off. A four-run seven!h inning in which Barney Mcl'osky tripled and Hank Majeskl hit a two run double clinched the victory. The White Sox defeated the Red Sox. 2 to 1, in 11 innings after Boston took the opener. 8 to 1 liehind Mel •Parnell's steady pitching. Chiago’s victory, attained by relief pl cher Glen Moulder, put Boston three games out of the lead in fourth place. Singles hy Floyd Baker and Tony l.uplen and Luke Appling's long fly produced Chicago's winning run. Wallv Moses previously had kept Boston in the game with his first homer of the year. In the fiist game. Matt Batts got
