II of that season, they just about convinced every one in | sight that it won’t happen again—at least not this year. < And they did it right in the Polo Grounds with the hated Giants ’ their victims in a brilliantly executed 4-0 triumph in which the following things happened: ,1. Carl Erskine pitched a twohitter, missing a no-hitter only because of two singles by Hank Thompson. It was the first victory of*, his life in the Polo Grounds after five straight defeats there, 1 his 13th of the season. In fact it •was the only complete game he ~ ever pitched there. ’* % 2. Sal Maglie got his ears nailed * * to his head, permitting nine hits -' tn four innings, ineluding Gil and his first against Giant pitching.

feat, begged off in the fifth inking 1 because of a stiff right shoulder. 3. The Dodgers finally evened the season count with' the Giants at 7-7. They are ahead of all other clubs in season’s play. Erskine, who said she threw “mostly curves because they Were doing things for me,” thought he might have* had the second nohitter of his career, “if I had been a little better fielder, and if -my control hadn't been so g00d.” 5 “I should have fielded Thompson’s first hit which went right through the box but I didn’t get my glove on it. On the second One, he hit a change-up for a blooper. But he’s a hot hitter. Maybb I should have walked him lath times. I just got that ball where he could lam it.” _ • Brooklyn's lead went to 7ls games when the Cardinals, on doubles . by Solly and Red Schoendienst in the ninth inning, drove in the winning run in a 4-3 victory at Milwaukee, which glided the, six-game winning streak of the Braves.

Charles Defeated By Obscure Cuban IMLVMI, Fla UP — Ezzard ■Charles’ dream of becoming th' first man in history to regain the world's heavyweight championship lay all but shattered today under the wreckage of his surprise loss to obscure Niho Valdes of Cuba. Vahl's stunned a crowd of 3,500 Tuesday night as he took Charles’ best punches and came on to wi? the unanimous, 16-round votel of two judges and the referee. The setback apparently doomed Charles’ hopes of getting a shot at the winner of next month’s championship fight between Rocky Marciano and Roland La Starza iind, at the advanced ring age of 32, may have ended them for a’J time. 1 “I just had a bad night,” moaned the former champion from Cincinnati, O. “I missed.” Charles entered the ring at 131 1-2 pounds, a little over his usual fighting weight, and he allowed that the extra poundage made him “a little sluggish.” Charles, who had 1 nnounced before the fight that he was to turn slugger, found he couldn’t away the 209 3-4 pound Cuban. He landed the best blow of the fight in the ninth when he staggered Valdes with a left hook high on the'-right cheek, but Valdes retaliated with a flurry of lefts and rights avoided g<-ing down.
