Roberts Wins 19th, Shantz 21$t Victory By UNITED PRESS Robust Robin Roberts, who has muscles he stilb hasn’t discovered, and shinny Bobby Shantz, who could panhandle a meal on any corner, were almost certain today to give Philadelphia a monopoly on top pitching honors in the majors this season. And the smart guys right now wore betting that Roberts, the late starter, would wind up with more victories than Shantz. Both came through with triumphs last night. Roberts topped the pace-setting Brooklyn Dodgers, 8 to 3, on seven hits for his 19th win against six losses, while Shantz, despite a “bad night” outlasted the Senators, 11 to 7, although yielding 14 hits for h|s 21st win against four defeats. "Roberts has beareh Brooklyn four straight times this season. Roberts, whose Work against Brooklyn in Ebbets Field is \phenomenal, scored his ninth victory there against a lone defeat for his career. As usual, his control was almost flawless. He walked only one batter and was backed up by lusty long-distance hitting as Eddie Waitkus, Del Ennis, and Connie Ryan hit Philly homers. The Brooks gained their runs on homers by Gil Hodges, his 26th, and George Shuba. The defeat pared Brooklyn’s lead to 7% games over the Giants, who split with the Graves, winning 3 to 1 on Max Lanier’s five-hitter, after losing, 4 to 3. The Cards edged the Pirates 5 to 4, in the only other National league game, ’ \ * 4 In the American league, the Indians crept to within two games of the pace-setting Yankees with a 7 to 6, 12-inning victory over the Browns, while the Red Sox edged New York in Boston, 3 to 2. Shantz atoning for his pitching “lapses,” connected for a double and single while Joe Astrotp got four hits and Pete Suder picked up three in the 16-hit Philadelphia assault on four Washington throwers. Larry Jansen had a no-hitter for seven innings but fielding lapses gave the Braves three unearned runs as they gained the opening triumph on just four hits. Clint Hartung and Davey Williams hit Giant homprs. Hank Thompson hit a two-run homer to break a 1-all tie and gave the Giants' the second game. A double by Red Schoendienst and a single by Enos Slaughter gave the Cardinals an uphill victory after the Piratps got off to an early lead on a two-run homer by Ralph Kiner, his 25th. , The Indians, who spotted St. Louis a 5-0 lead, battled back and finally cut the margin to 6-5 on Luke . Easter’s three-run homer. They tied it with an unearned run off rpliever and loser Satch Paige in the eighth, then Won in the 12th when Harry Simpson tripled and Ray Boone singled to give Early Wynn the victory, his 16th, in a relief chore. ®' The Red Sox broke a 1-1 tie with two runs in the sixth on Johnny Lipon’s bases-loaded single, “preceded by Hoot Evers’ single, Dick Gernert’s double, and an intentional pass to Sammy White.

Rams Defeat All-Stars By lOTo 7 Score CHICAjGO, UP —The winner had th% alibis today afetr the Los Angeles Rams’ 10 to 7 triumph oyer the college All-Stars in the 19th renewal of the annual grudge battle between the best of the pro’s and the best of the collegians. “Ourp erformance ’ was below par,” head coach Joe Stydahar of the Rams said. “Their fumbles helped us a lot.” “The rain slowed us down.” he added. ♦Then| toa, particularly Babe Parilli and Bill Wade.” The game was played in a light but steady drizzle, but the Rams played exactly the same type of. game they used in smashing to the National Football League championship last year.' With Norm Van Brqcklin and Bob Waterfield alternating as usual at quarterback, they threw 37 passes but it took a pass interference penalty to set uh their game-tying touchdown. That call came on a thrqw by Van Brock- s lin to Skeet Quinlan, and the officials ruled that San Francisco’s Ollie Matson Interfered on the hiay. 'i \ • '\ ’ The penalty gave the Rams, possession on the All-Stars seven; and Van Brocklin tossed to Tank Younger for three yards to score. This deadlocked the early in the final period, and set up Waterwield’s 31 yard game winning field goal wtih seven minutes to play. The boot finished off a Rams drive from their own 25 in eight plays. Both coaches agreed the interference penalty was the turning point, coming after the All-Stars had gone 69 yards in nine plays to when Vic Janowicz plunged three yards and then place kicked the conversion. “The penalty was the deciding factor,” Stydahar said. “But it was interference then and several other times.” Head coach Bobby Dodd made
