Winner Beats Cards To End Losing Streak ST. Lquis, Mo., UP —lt takes patience to be a winning pitcher with the Cubs as first Warren Hacker and now Paul Minner have found out. Hacker, who was such a hot commodity before the June 15 trading deadline that clubs were offering up to SIOO,OOO for his services, had an eight-game losing streak despite a number of well pitched games, before he finally began to win. And Monday night Minner, who had dropped six games in a row, finally gained a well earned sixhit, 6-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, going all the way for his fourth triumph of Jhe season. The defeat was a bitter one for the Cardinals, for they had figured on gaining ground on the . league-leading Dodgers and sec-ond-place Braves, instead, they wound up 2 % games out of first place and 1% games out of second as all other activity in the majors was confined to exhibition games. Eddie Miksis, never noted as a long ball hitter, hit a homer for the first tally oft the Cardinals and delivered a sixth-inning triple after which he scored on a single by Frankie Baumholtz, pacing the Cubs at bat. Baumholtz also hit \home run. his first of the year. Ray Jablonski spoiled a shutout for 'Minner with a home run in the eighth and the Cardinals pick-, ed up another run in the ninth oh a single by Solly Hemus, ‘Red Schoendienst’s double and a scoring fly by Stan Musial. In the exhibition activity. Managers Leo Durocher of the Giants and Lou Boudreau of the Red Sox forgot they were both “fat and forty" and broke into their respective lineups as the Giants topped Boston, 6-3. Durocher hit a single and stole second and Boudreau had a double. Ray Noble hit a three run homer in the second for the Giants off Dick Brodowski, a Red Sox pitcher who is in military service but performed while on leave from Fort Lee, Va. He pitched the entire distance and gave up 10 hits. Wayne Belardi drove in six runs with two homers and a double and Johnny Podres pitched four-hit ball for seven innings while striking out seven in a 9-0 Brooklyn humiliation of the Yankees, who suddenly can’t beat anybody — in or out of the American league. The Yankees have lost seven straight in league competition and their defeat by Brook- • lyn marked the first time they had lost in the inter- boro midseason exhibition game for the benefit of sandlot baseball. The Phillies topped the Athletics S-6 as relief pitcher Thornton Kipper hurled seven innings of scoreless ball. Rain ended a battle between the White Sox and Pirates at the end of 6’i innings at Pittsburgh • with the score tied at 2-atl. Sherman Lollar hit a seventh inning homer for Chicago that was washed out the Pirates could not bat because of the rain. NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct G.B.
