Phillies Slow Dodgers' Push For Top Spot NEW YORK(INS)Robin Roberts may be behind his victory pace and lacking some of his past effectiveness. .but 'Philadelphia’s million dollar righty is; making IT strong bid for the honor of being baseball’s winningest pitcher for the third straight year. Roberts became the first major leaguer to notch -18 Wins this season when he hurled the Phillies to a 9 to 6 victory over the Brooffr lyn Dodgers Monday night. 7The 26-year-old righthander, gunning for Jils fifth straight 20-ganje cainpafgßr-deopped She lßums» v full game behind the idle York Giants ih the National le» gue race, and snapped a five gam* Phillie losing streak and a four*, game win skein enjoyed by the Brooks. The onrushing Braves edged to within 2% lengths of the Bums. It w’asn’t one of Robin’s better efforts. The boyish-looking control whis gave up eight hits, including a two — run homer by Pee Wee Reese and Gil Hodges’ 31st roundtripper. but the fact that Robin walked six men proved that he was definitely off. Roberts hasn’t given dp that many free passes in a game in the last three seasons. But Philadelphia backed their ace with a 14-hit assault on four hurlers and a five-run burst off relievers CJem Labine and preacher Roe in the fifth broke a 4-4 tie. Roberts, who has lost ten games Is behind his pace of last season when he.recorded htk 20th win on Aug. 12. He and Warren Spahn were the top winners last time around with 23 each and in 1952 Roberts had the major league lead all to himself with 28. The Philadelphia attack was led by Smoky Burgess, who made four hits including two doubles and exBrook Bobby Morgan, who made three, including a double. Morgan, Willie Jones ahd Granny Hamner each drove in two runs. Br*oklyn rookie Bob Darnell, making his first major league start, Labine, Roe and Don Newcombe toiled for the losers who made manager Walt Alston’s “we’re not out of the woods yet" prediction stand up. Darnell Was forced out ln>the third as the Phils scored two runs to take a 4-3 lead and after Hodges had tied the score in the bottom half. Philadelphia went to work on Labine and Roe and tallied five times on six singles and a sacrifice fly. * Labine was charged with the loss, his fifth. This was the only game scheduled in the majors Monday, but plenty of action is slated for today and tonight. The Giants try to right themselves in a night contest against the Phils; Brooklyn Is at Pottsburgh for a night game and Milwaukee guns for its tenth straight while hosting St. Ixhils. Cincinnati Is at Chicago for a day twin bill. On the American League, Cleveland protects its three game lead by meeting Detroit, New York Is at Philadelphia and Boston Is at Washington for night games while Chicago visits Baltimore in a twlnightet*. « - V ’ — ■ — ■' If you have something to Mill oi rotrme for rent, try a Democrat Waut Ad.

Bobo Olson Defends Title Friday Night BAN FRANCISCO (INS) — Middleweight champion Carl "Bobo” Olson returns to San Francisco today from his Clear Lake training quarters to wind up preparer tlonta so hie title defense against Rocky CasteHani Friday. Olsoft’s manager Sid Flaherty announced without explanation he was breaking up the Clear Lake training camp ahead of schedule. Flaherty said Olson will ta<per off for the Cow Palace fight at a San Francisco gym. There was- epecUletlon that Flaherty wanted to "elOw down” Bobo’s training because the chemp has reached a fine edge a little too early in the hot weather at Clear Lake. Olson presumably will keep the edge with more ease in San Francisco’s cooler weather and will not shed any more weight. At challenger Castellani's camp closer to the city, in San Rafael, an uproar was created, meanwhite, when It was announced that the fighters will weigh in Friday at the early liotif of trine o'clock in the morning.
