Giants Take Third In Row From Dodgers NEW YORK, (INS) — The pen-nant-hungry New York Giants are ruining the beat-laid plans of the Brooklyn Dodgers to beat the Yankees in October by blasting the bums in July. And Leo Durocher is using an old 'Yankee blueprint to cool the defending National League champs right down to his own Johnny Mize in the ctutcheTß. The Durochermen combined the same talents—a trusty bullpen, the same hustle to cash in on the enemy's mistakes, solid hitting and the game-winning pinch-hitting of Jim (Diisty) 'Rhpdea—to defeat the Dodgers Thursday for the sixth tiipe in nine meetings this year. The 5-to-2 victory before 21,560 fans gave the Giants a sweep of the three-game little world series at the Polo Grounds and extended their win streak to seven games and their league lead to four gameg, Rhodes virtually duplicated his extra-inning heroics which won Tuesday night's opener by breaking a 2-2 deadlock with a basesloaded pinch single in the eighth off Erv Palica. Whitey Lockman started the winning rally with a single. Hank Thompson bunted and Roy Campanella. who had homered earlier, overthrew an attempted force at second, both runners advancing. Palica purposely passed Don Mueller and Willie Mays grounded out with Lockman forced at home: Then Rhodes, whose single in the 13th Inning Tuesday with the bases jammed gave the Giants the win. strode to the plate for Monte Irvin, With two strikes on him—as on Tuesday—the southpaw swinger cracked the winning belt. Wes Westrum s fly brought In the fifth run. , It was the 10th base , knock in 24 pinch rples—a■ .41? average — for the 28-year-old Alabaman, who pinched a, homer -a few days earlier that beat the Cardinals.' Hoyt Wilhelm and , Marv Grissom supplied abie rellef to preserve the seventh win in 11 decisions for Ruben Gomez’, who gave up five hits in his eight ipnings. Carl Furillo followed Campanella’s seventh-inning home run with'one of his own and Davey Williams for the Giants. M The_ Dodders recalled shortstop ’ Don Zi&iar. fjfl W club in .the American Agspclation. Regular shortstop and tain POA. Wee Reese had been sidelined by a pulled muscle in his left thigh. In the only other games played in either league Thursday, the St. Louis Cardinals whipped Milwaukee. 9 to 2, on two homers each by rookie Joe Cunningham and veteran Stan Musial, and the Yankees moved to within a half-game Os second-place Chicago by nosing out Boston. 8 to 7. Cardinal triumph was costly. Ace southpaw pitcher Harvey Haddix, going for his 13th victory against four defeats, was hit on the knee by a line drive and carried off on a stretcher. Fortunately there was no break and hospital attaches said Haddix should see action soon. Gerry Staley relieved Haddix, who had a 6-to-0 shutout going, and was credited with his fifth victory. Warner Spahn lost his ninth. jB Musial broke a tie with the CM ants' Willie sJays for the major league homerun leadership with circuit wallops No. 25 and 26. Rookie Cunningham, playing only his second major league game since coming up from Rochester Wednesday to replace Tom Alston, drove in his ninth run for the Cards. IHis first-day homer and single acounted for five. Mickey Mantle. Hank BaUer and Andy Carey blasted home runs for five runs in the third inning off Boston rookie Frank Sullivan. Mantie's sock, his 15th, came with a man on and gave him the American League lead in homers, Carey's - homer also was good for two. The Yankees scored seven runs off Sullivan tn the first three innings. Joe Collins scored the winning run tn the fourth. He walked and tallied from first on Yogi Berra's single when Karl Olsou's throw to third bounced off Joe. M/MW AM SSOC lATI ON W L Pct. G.B. Indianapolis .. 52 26 .667 St. Paul 40 34 .541 10 .
