Robin Roberts Scores Sixth Win 01 Season (NEW YORK UP — The skeptics who don’t believe Rabin Roberts can pitch the £6O innings prescribed for him by Steve O’Neill this year might take note of ' th a fact today ttoat he could pitch close to 470 at his present pace. The Philly fireball man Tuesday night turned in his eighth complete game and gained his sixth triumph with a five-hit, 6-3 victory over th® Reds in which he struck out seven batters, 9n addition to his eight games, he also went five innings in a rained out game to give him a total of 77 innings pitched so far in 25 games played toy the Phils. (Moreover, he was rained out of two other starts. Thus, with the season less than a sixth complete, the ex-FMicbigau State bonus boy could easily go ■well over 400 innings—provided, of course, his arm doesn’t drop off en route. And he insists he neyer yet has (been even a little tired as the workhorse of the Philly staff since 1950. Willie oJties and Richie Ashburn hit hpmers for the Phils while Cincy collected all of its runs on homers by Wil|ard Marshall and Ted Kluszetwski in the fourth inning. i The Dodgers knocked Milwaukee out of a first place tie with the Phils by defeating them 44 on. a pair of two-run homers (by George Simba and Duke Snider as Russ *M«yer pitched a seven-hitter and gained his third victory. 'A record crowd of 36.439 jammed the new Milwaukee ball park. The resurgent Giants put over three” 10th inning runs to defeat the dubs 6-4 at Chicago as Al Corwin pitched tiwo-hit relief I>all for three innings to gain his third victory. It was the fourth victory in the last five games for the Giants and was achieved off luckless Warren Hacker, iwho suffered his sixth defeat. A double iby Don Mtieller, singles by Corwin and IDavey Williams, and a two-run single by Monte Irvin provided the three runs. Randy Jackson hit a 10th inning homer for Chicago and Irvin hit an earlier one for New York. A double by Stan Musial and a scoring fly by Solly Hemps gave the Cards two unearned runs after a <pair of errors by Danny O’Connell in a 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh. Gerry Staley pitched fivehit ball before being relieved by Stu Miller to achieve his fifth victory as Johnny Lindell lost a tough one. He struck out eight batters and yielded but" 1 Six hits. Hank Bauer’s two-run homer in the lltih following Mickey Mantle's thirid double gave lth e Yankees a 4-2 victory over Detroit as Johnny Sain edged Ted Gray in a duel. Sain struck out five and walked none and Gray struck outPnine as they turned in a pair of eight hitters. Bob Nieman homered for Detroit. Harry Byrd pitched two-hit ball to give the Athletics a 2-1 victory over the White Sox and end theiy four-game losing streak. A homer toy Joe DeMaesttri and a scoring fly by (Pete Suder gave the A’s all the runs they needed in th P first inning. Jim Rivera drove in the only Chicago run with a third inning single. ♦Milt Bolling’s single in the eighth gave the Red Sox a 4-3 victory over elderly reliever Satchell Paige of the Browns as Hector Brown pitched six-hit 'ball with a little hitless relief help from Ellis Kinder for his third victory. Dick Gernert of Boston and Don Lenhardt and Johnny Groth of St. Louis hit hqmers. Cleveland at Washington was rained out.

Native Dancer Is Favorite In Preakness BALTIMORE, Md. UP —Native Dancer was practically the only topic of conversation today as this turf-conscious city got set for the 77th running of the (Preakness at Pinlico Saturday. Most racing experts] simply referred to the Dancer as "The Big Gray” while discussing the SIOO,-000-added run for the black-eyed susans. I But everyone knew what they meant ahd the other six probable entries were all but forgotten. The Pimlico track management gloomily conceded that the Dancer might be installed at even shorter (odds than the 7-10 on him. when he'lost the Kentucky Derby to Dark Star by a hfead. Such a circumstance could result a minus-bet-ting pool. Clyde Troutt. trainer of the threeyear .old Royal Bay Gem. who surprised by whipping Dark Star in the( Preakness prep, frankly admitted he did not think his horse would win Saturday. ?‘j think he’ll finish third, 1 ’ Troutt said. "We might do better, you •can't let a victory in a prep send you too high.” Jockey Jimmy Combest was more confident. “We beat the horse that beat The Gray in life Derby.” Combest said, "and at Pimlico we’re running on a soft track — the kind of track Royal Bay Gein likes.’’ But no one was putting much stock in the results of the prep. It was a furlong shorter than the mile and three sixteenth Preakness and it was believed that Dark Star did not go all out. The only definite result of the (prep was a sharp drop in the stock of Correspondent. The widely ballyshooed California colt ' finished a poor fourth. | ■ ' fl \ ' If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Add. It brings results.
