Phillies Now Flashing Best Ball In Majors New York. Sept. 7. (UP)— How about time out today from those breathless pennant races for a look at something pretty extra-ordinary-the only Philadelphia Philly ball dub to he a good first division het in 17 year*. In fact manager Eddie Sawyer, the portly "Moses'' who is leading the Phils out of that second division wilderness, thinks hi* huntI ling, scrapping kid ball dub. which !is now well anchored in third place, may be in the thick of next year's pennant scramble itself. Sime Aug. 15 when the usually played the best ball of any club In the majors, and Sawyer believes now that they will be even better next season Sine Aug 15 when the usually kindly Eddie lashed out at the scattering of loafer* and heavy eaters on the dub the Phils' have won 17 and lost but seven and that * the be»t record in the major*, topping lietrolt's 16-9 and the Red Sox 15 7 marks for the Identical period Yesterday when the Giant* won the second game of a douhleheader 4 to 1. after the Phil* took a thrilling opener. 4 to 2. in 10 inning*. they ended a seven game winning streak and a bid for three consecutive doubleheader sweeps In as many days. The Phils trailed 2 to 0 in the opener, going Into the ninth, but blond Richie Ashburn tied it up with a two-run single and they won It in the 10th with two more runs on singles by Del Ennis. Stan Loputa. and Bill Nicholson plus an error by rightfldder Will Marshall. t Sheldon Jones broke the streak with a six-hit pitching job in the second game in which he was given noble cooperation by batterymate Wes Westrum. who hit a three run homer. Nicholson hit a 4<*6-foot homer for the only Phil run Whitey hit a first game giant homer. Meanwhile, the Dodger* cut the St. Loui* National League lead to one game with a rollicking 10 to 2 victory over the Boston Braves. Five run* In the second Inning told the tale. Even in triumph, however, there was some sadness for the Dodgers--blg Don Newcombe missed hl* chance to tie a consecutive shutouts record. Ixui was seeking his fourth and he had 3<> scorles* innings to hi* credit at the start of last night * game However. Del Crandall's fly tallied Bob Elliott in the second to end all that Sibby Slsti's fifth homer in the seventh produced the other Brave run. Don did take the league lead In strikeouts, hpwever, with 126, including his seven last night. A big inning- but a late one-was the story of Pittsburgh. Cincinnati scored four runs with two out In the loth to beat the Pirates, 6 to 3, in the only other major league game scheduled. Yesterday's Star -- Don Newcombe of the Dodger* who scored hi* 15th victory and took the National league strikeout lead in beating the Braves
