Chisox Blank Yanks, Dodgers GainOnGianfs NifiW YORK (IN) —Yon needed a scorecard today to tell who’s who on bosOb&ll’S “dead" IrOnt. The Dodgers ware liVftig It up and the Giants looked like corpses White Sox slapped ah emphatic premature stamp on their obituary notices of last week. Leo Durocher’s Giants had their National League lead trimmed to two games Tuesday bight When they dropped their sixth straight, 7 to 4, to the St. Louis Cardinale. The Dodgers helped reduce the magic number to “two” when they edged the Chicago Cubs, I to 8, for their fourth in a row. The Chisox, with Virgil Trucks winning his 14th of the season via a five-hitter, blanked the Yanks. 5 to 0, to move within 8% games of the second-place Bombers and stay six games behind the Indians. Cleveland maintained the mostalive look of any of toe contenders by whipping toe Boston ROd Sox, 8 to 3, to up their American-Lea-gue advantage to 2’4 games. The Giants could blame their latest loss on “The Man and The Moon” and their slumping bullpen. Btan iMusial walloped a three-run homer off starter Jim Hearn and Wally iMoon broke a 3-3 tie in toe eighth when he hdmored offreliever Rnbeh Gomez. IMoon doubted another marker across in the ninth as the Cards scored twice With Marv Grissom on the mound.

Dusty Rhodes contributed a homer to the Giant cause and with ace Harvey Haddix operating tor toe Redbird* in the hihth. Say Hey Willie (Maya walloped his 35th ronndtrlpper, a so-what blow. Duke Snider’s 25tfi circuit in the seventh proved to be the winning margin ae the Dodgers bested the Bruins. The Brooks built up a 8-0 lead for Don Newcombe and they shelled out Waten Hacker With five runs ih the third as Jackie Robinson contributed a homer. The Cubs cut the lead ddwft to-8-5, scoflng fdOr id the fifth and one in the sixth, with Gene Baker and Hank Sauer (29> hitting tor the circuit. Billy irnes was credited with the win. his sixth. Trucks became tod American League’s top winner before 53,087 sane, largest crowd cf the season at , Comiskey Pgrk. It was his fourth l.lhnk job of the season and his third win over the Yanks. A double by Minnie Minoso and singles by Phil Cavaretta and Jim Rivera off Harry Byrd in the first inning gave the Sox two runs and all the margin Trucks needed. The only Yankee to give the 36-year-old righthander any trouble Was try Noren, who boosted his league-leading average to .364 with three singles fti ton* trijis. • Bob Lem onwon ihfs 12th game for the Tribe backed up by power hitting «by Vte Wertz and Al Rosen. Worts drove in three funs with a double and a home run and Rosen slammed hie 18th four-bagger. Jackie Jensen paced the Bostonians with a Single, double, homer and a walk Id four trips to the plate.

Campanella Still Complains Os Hand > NEW YORK (INS) —Brooklyn Dodger catcher Roy Campanella will have his damaged left hand examined by a neurologist today. u Dt. Ed Dombrowski has been asked to look at Campy’® hand by Dr. Herbert Fett, who operated on the catcher laet May. Campanella complain* that “1 ■till have some pain and I have fto gripping power and no feeling in my laet two fingers.” Chick Harbert Wins PGA Tournament ‘ ’ J gt. TAUL'. Minn., (iM) — Veteran Chick Harbert, always close but seldom on top. had a big one to his credit today—the 1954 Professional Golfers Association championship. The graying. Detroiter recovered from an almost disastrous start and went on to clobber defending PGA champ Walter Burkemo in the 36 hole finals Tuesday by a 4 and 3 margin. Harbert lost three-of the first four holes, then found his game and played the last 29 holes In eight under par. The victory was worth ss,ooft first prize, a lot of prestige and another $5,000 if he wants to accept an invitation to join a fourman Ryder Cup team on a junket to Australia this fall. For Harbert, it was the realization of a long quest in his ninth try for the title. For Burkemo, it smashed his hopes 0 accomplish a golf rarity — win the coveted PGA title two straight times, a feat last accomplished by Denny Shute in 1936-37. A crowd of some 6,000 fans over the 6,000 yard Keller golf course to watch the two Detroit businessmen go at ft. Harbert started miserably, hitting in a cornfield on the first hole, and playing out of the rough, sand and traps more than he did, from the fairway. But he soon tound his game and dazzled the crowd with his iron play, finally pulling even with his 34-year-old neighbor on the 11th hole. He did not go over par after the fourth hole. The" brawny veteran went ahead of Burkemo on the 14th hole and was never headed after lhat as toe defending champion apparentlytired and had trouble with bis putting. It was the ninth PGA try to Harbert. and his third time in the fin'4Bs, Burkemo was making his third ftnals appearance in tour years. IKE SAYS HIKE (Ceatlaued From Pagr O»») flueuced by the necessity of preserving certain types of work skills, in this country as part of the na-1 Uotial securin’ program. '
