Hodges Stars For Brooklyn In Flag Push NEW YORK — Gil Hodges, ■the Hammering Hoosier who started off tn reverse this year, soared to the- top in major league run production today and it was no coincidence that at the same time the Dodgers suddenly had a fatter first-place lead „than the Yankees. » For it has been the" muscular man from Princeton, Ind., who has spanked the latest drive of the Brooklyn window - breakers, a drlvtf which suddenly found them leading the National League by 5 1-2 genres while the Yankee margin in the American was reduced to 4 1-2. Hodges drove in" seven runs in a 9-3, 11-1 sweep over the casual Cubs Wednesday night as first rookie Johnny Pvdres and then Carl Erskine turned in lustrous pitching Jobs in which each struck out 10 men. Podres gave up six hits hi winning his sixth straight game in the opener and Erskine yielded only four in winning his fourth straight in the second contest. But it was Hodges who led the way. He ran his runs batted in total to 85. putting him one ahead of teammate Roy Campanella, and making him at this stage of the race a prize candidate for most valuable player honors. That’s fast stepping for a slumpstuck guy who batted only .194 for his first 23 games and who had a sickly total of five runs batted in before Manager Charley Dressen benched him. Now he’s bat-, ting. .316. Hodges had a three-run homer in the first game and a two-run blast in the second to give him a total of 23. Duke Snider also hit a first-game homer and Carl Furillo- hit one in the second’ to make it five wins in a row for the Brooks and 10 out of their last 11. v The Yankees ran into trouble in Cleveland again, Ipsing their fifth straight to the • Indians, 6-4. as Mike Garcia scattered 10 hits. Larry' Derby delivered a tie-breaking double for the winning run and robbed pinch hitter Johnny Mize of a grand slam homer ip the eighth with a One-handed catch. Yogi Berra had three Yankee hits, including a homer. 1 The White Sox closed in on Vir-* gil Trucks’ seventh straight win, a 1-0 four-hitter over lefty Mel Parnell of Boston, gained when Al Carrasquel tripled and Nellie Fox scored him with a fly in the fifth. Chicago also made only four hits? The Phils topped ace Warren
