Braves Wallop Dodgers Again For 10 In Row YORK (INI —The "Miracle" -Braves of 1954 became mere than just a mere mirage for the New York Giants today even though the Durochermen ware back on the ball and .confortably cushioned with 5 -game lead in the National League race.

Elongated rookie righthander Gene Conley beat the Brooks for the fourth time ■while winning his tenth of the year. The six-foot-eight hurter gave up ten hits, including homers by Gil Hodges (29), Jackie Robinson and Duke Snider (36). The most explosive "hit" tn the game came in the fourth Inning, however, Milwaukee first baseman Joe Adcock, who got into the record books with four homers Saturday, was "beaned" in this inning •by Dodger reliefer Clem Labine but escaped serious injury because he was wearing a protective plastic helmet. . % ■ - ' Giant lefty Johnny Antonelli won his 16th game in 13 deykms.AJatf. his lltji straightWhefMm* Rhodes pinch.lift for Itm liTTne seventh inning and broke * 3-3 tie

I ’can duck that kind. But when he throws behind your head, I think he means business." ’ Labine, who visited Adcock in ths dressing room to find out how he. was, gave his version of the incident. "Naturally, I wasn’t trying to hit him in the head. 1 waa trying to brush him bach, that’s all. laStead of twisting bach, he actually ducked iato the pitch.” Adcock, who had doubled in two trips in yesterday’s game, was batting for the second time in the fourth as ths Braves scored five mas.
