They were three in a row to the good today and right up there > i at the top with such. fast company as the Dodgers and Indians, who t also won their first three games. ' , pie impressive thing about the i Brovins is that they’ve looked f sharp all the way. Yesterday ex , Tiger Bob Cain bore down when he had to aijd gaihed a nine-hit. 3 to 1 vivctory over his old mates, j Les Moss and rookie Bob Neiman hit successive homers in the eighth and ninth to hand Hal Newhouser I a tough defeat. The Browns got only five hits but made them 4 count. On the previous day, a trip- » le by rookie George Schmees drove ’ in the winning run and in the. .j opener.

Robinson, pafko, and Duke Snider each drove in two runs. Pafko contributed a homer. Johnny Schmitz had no trouble in annexing a sevelj-hit victory. ißyan, a special pest against the Giants, sliced his homer to right field after! sending the Phillies ahead, 3 to 2 in the ninth witl) a run-scoringj single but they couldn't hold the lead and the game., went into dxtra innings. Del Ennis probably saved the victory for re llever Jim Konstanty when he made a bare-handed, over-the-shoul der catch ojf a drive by Willie Mays past the j440-mark in the 10th. Mays already had rounded second when Ennis caught the 'ball and probably worild have gotten a game winning inside-the-park homer. j Raffensberger. starting his 16th big leagueiseason, gave the Cubs only singles and walked none while Bobby Adams and Grady Hatton supplied the offensive power with homers. Ex-Cardinal Ted Wilks saved rookie Joe Muir's first big league victory when he cut off a Cardinal rally with '■ some fine ninth inning relief pitching. Shantz, one of three pitchers' who beat the Yankees four times last seasoii, was just as tough as ever for the champs. They failed; to score after the second inning.

U. S. Pat. Off.) | By Oscar Fraley 1 n „ New York. April 18 —(UP) —Be ing named the most valuable player in their respective leagues did nothing last season to settle the hot debate as to whether Roy Campa\ nella or Yogi Berra was the bes( catcher in the major leagues. But with Yankee Yogi fretting on 1 the sidelines (because of a bruised hand as the I95iJ campaign broke from the barrier, Campanella proved swiftly that be was out to make all the hay possible wjhile the sun was shining on his side of the street. 1 \ ( All that burly Roy the Brooklyn did in his first two games was dihve in six runs and slam six h|ts in eight trips to the plate for a .750 averages. Naturally, continuation of such a pace is impossible, but it could set a tempo of suet-ess in (lampdnella’s drive to sbe recovnized as baseball s best backstop. Right npw jlou can provide a hot argument at (toy given moment by choosing oriel- pr the other. Personally. I would have to give Campanella the eage. There is small doubt that before their respective careers are ended both jCampapeila and Ber.(a will be ranked with the all-time stars of the ptask apd mitt, stars on a phr w:ith; Mickey COchrane, Bill and others of their receiving excellence. Being able 1 to catch and handle pitchers isn’t’ enough There are other solid workmen in both leagues if you judge simply on these catching craftsmen such as Jun Hegan. for one. To hit the heights, your backstop also has to swing a mighty'* piece of timber at the plate-—and both Yogi and Roy qualify. : Last season, Campanella held an edge over Berra in all offensive departments with 33 homers. 108 runs batted in aud an average of .325. Berra won his most valuable award on 27 homers;-88 runs batted in and a .294 average. There can be small doubf that Campanella has the better throwing arm but Yogi may have a disputable edjje in handling pitchers. But, over the years, Berra is more or lesps accepted as the better hitter. F Campanella’s value to the Dodgers, even with their power potential when he is on the sidelines, cannot be overestimated. Sufficient proof is the fact that he was forced to the sidelines in the National league playoff against the Giants last season by a pulled thigh muscle. Who is tq say that; had he been catching Ralph Branca in that final game, Bobby Thonuoii might never have received the one pitch which won the pennant. to attend the district meeting at the Dunkirk gym in Jay county Monday night.
