Pitchers Hold Top Hand In Majoiitoops

New York, May 11—(UP) — Big league pitchers apparently received the bres.k o* their lives Jronx their bosses when they tyere sent to spring training a couple of weeks ahead of the hitters this Day after day, the hurlers are turning in top-flight jobs,: reviving the adage that “in the spring the pitchers usually are ahead of the hitters.” There was a general demonstration of, old-fashioned bear-down pitching yesterday as three veterans—little Murry Dickson, big Don Newcombe, and skinny Ewell Blackwell—plus one rookie, lefty Roger Bowman, stood • the' barters on their heads. Dickson, winding his fourth game against just one defeat, pitched a four-hitter as Pittsburgh topped the Phillies, 2 to 0. Blackwell, also .scoring his fourth triumph, gave seven hits and no earned runs in a 4 to 1 Cincinnati vicfbry over the Braves in Boston\ Newcombe, pitching his first complete game in three weeks, also yielded but seven hits in Brooklyn’s 6 to 1 trouncing of Chicago. Bowman, working six innings against the Cardinals, was touched for just four and a lone run in the Giants’ fourth straight win. 3 to 2. What’s more, none of the losers turned jn bad pitching jobs. Dickson had to be at his best, to shade Bubba Church and reliever Jim Konstanty at Philadelphia. Church was touched for six hits while Konstanty yielded none in the inning he worked. A single by Ted Beard, a double by Cat Metkovlch, who was out at. third trying to stretch it, and a homer by Bus Bell, pro' duced all the \damage off Church in the sixth inning. \ Blackwell had the better of it in besting veteran Johnny Sain. He struck out six including Sam j\jthr roe three times. The Cincy beanpole also delivered two key hits, one a long double. Sain\gave up nine hits but wasn’t disgraced despite the fact that he wept down to his fourth defeat against only one win. Blackwell would have had a shutout, too. but for a two base muff of a fly ball that let in the only Boston tally. NewCombe struck out five batters, walked only two, and contributed to the attack with two timely singles.- Gil Hodges‘hit his ninth home run for Brooklyn to go 83 days ahead of his 1950 time tabl£ when he got 3? homers: The Dodders made 11 hits off Cub hurlers Cal Me Dish and Bob Kelly. Bowqnan. a curve-throwing lefty, gave the Card!? trouble for six ings but when he began to get wild, manager Leo Durocher sent in, Dave t\o s l° to preserve the-vic-tory at the f Polo Grounds. Hank Thompson sent Bowman out in front with a 2 to 0 margin on his homer in the second and Alvin
