N. pitching piinch. was using 'the same kind of a formula today to put the Phillies on a runaway winning streak in the National league. In the same way, that Dizjey Trout,’Hal Newhouser, and Virgil Trucks used to blast away at American league hitters, O’Neill has a new 1-2-3 pitching, punch qf Robin Roberts,, Karl, Drews, and Curt Simmons, "h'hey all are workhorses. and O’Neill says he thinks he could get as many as 380 in-\ nings of work out of each of them —-although Drews needs a little more rest than Roberts and Simmons, the s(»ong-anned bonus boys. ’ 1 . \ If they keep up their early sea-* sen pace, Roberts and Simmons could match or perhaps even exceed the great iqiSrk of Newhouser and Trout in 1944 when Prince lial won 29 games and Dizzy 27—the mfest one-two mark for any two hurlers on the same club in modern major league history. The Phils made ft eight in (a row, their longest winning streak in five years, with\7-5 and 8-1 decisions from Pittsburgh Sunday |is Roberts and Drews coasted to easy triumphs The Indians moved into first place in the American league wi|h their 2-1 and 12-2 victories ovfer /Detroit, giving .them a winning streak of five.
