— „ Dodgers Win 10th In Row To Take Lead NEW YO-'IK, Ls —Joy boiled over in Brooklyn today. The Dodgers were in first place. They weite in a 10-game winning streak. They had a new starting pitcher in rookie Bob Milliken. Gil ’ i Hodges. the ex-slumper, was | pdunding the stitches off the ball. ' i Jackie Robinson was a whiz in left And chipper Charley Dressen ’ [ said he had a lineup he hoped he ' wouldn't have to change the rest ' of | the. year. . It was a significant anniversary. For, as the' Dodgers, moved back info the Head, it marked just exJ.actly a year from the time that they took over the 1952 National 'league lead and stayed there the rest of the way.\ Brooklyn extended its streak Sunday with 4-3 and 4-1 victories oyjer the Pirates, whom they pushed into last place. It was the longest winning streak for the Brooks I since the 1951 season. Rookie Mliliken, making his first big league start a memorable one, held Pittsburgh to two hits in the ' seven-inning second game, called because of darkness. He struck ■ out seven and didn’t walk a man. Although Dressen isn't ready yet to pu(b him in the regular starting rotation, the Dodger boss said that “He’ll get plenty of starting assignments.” What pleased Dressen even more was his new “set” lineup featuring Robinson in left. Hodges back on first and Billy Cox on third. "1 hope to keep it that way from now on.’j he said. “We really have been clicking since we started playing it that way.” The Dodgers woh the first game on the hitting of Hodges, who drove in two runs with key singles to provide Billy Loes the margin for his sixth victory. In the second game they pounded 014 eight singles and an initial big league homer by Junior Gilliam to score all of their runs after two were out. They took over the lead when Milwaukee split at Cincinnati, losing 8-6, then winning by the same 8-6 count. The Cardinals hung on in third with a 6-2 win oyer the Cubs and the Giants and Phils again were rained out. The Yankees kept up their runaway pace in the American with a 7-1 win over Alex Kellner of the Athletics who had shut them out twice in a row. Cleveland took second place with a 8-1 win at Detroit, while the White Sox split' with St. Louis, winning 7-4 then losing also by 7-4. Washington twice topped the Red Sox 5-4 and 4-0. I Ed Mathews hit homers in each game for Milwaukee to bring his total to 14, three behind major league leader Roy Campanella of Brooklyn. Del Crandall and Johnny Logan al|so hit secdnd game homers in a 16-hit assault on four Cincy pitchers. Jim Greengrass hit homers in each game for the Reds. "Harvey Haddix of the Cards pitched six-hil ball, struck out 10 Cubs and whlked none for his sixth victory and he was supported with homers by Solly Hemus and Red Schoendienst. Schoendienst’s was his seventh, equqalling his 1952 total. The Yankees picked hup a sixhitter from Johnny Sain, who recorded his fifth triumph, while Manager Casey Stengel started eight right hinders to even the score against lefty* Kellner. He was touched for 11 of the 13 Yankee hits before being knocked out in the sixth. Billy Martin got three hits and Gene Woodling drove in two runs to pace the Yankee batsmen. Bob Lemon pitched a steady eight-hitter and drove in two runs with a singly in gaining his fifth victory for Cleveland. Bill Glynn » and Larry Dbby hit Cleveland homers. It was Detroit’s seventh straight defeat: The oncoming Senators gained their first triumph when ex-Bos-tonian Clyde Vollmer singled in the winning ruin in the ninth and Frak Shea shook off his arm miseries to pitch a nine-hit second game shutout as Jim Busby, Ed Yost, and Jackie Jensen accounted for all the runs with hornet's. Rookie Mike Blyzka pitched four hit ball for his first big league win and rookie Bill Hunter supplied the punch with four hits as the Browns took the second game after Chicago banged out 15 hits.
