The series finale packed just about everything, including heroes who turned out to be goats. It saw Leo Durocher employ 23 play-ers-one short of a National League record-and seven pitchers before Ruben Gomez eot the final out with the tying run on second and the winning run on first. Thus did the Giants and Dodgers hog the spotlight on a day in which the yeatherman plastered the majors with cold and rain, but failed to erase some interesting happenings. ' — The Pittsburgh Pirates,' or instance, finally won their first game. (The Buccaneers ended an eight-game losing streak when they downed the Philadelphia Phillies, fi to 1, in the front end of a donbleheader. The second game was suspended by the Sunday curfew in the bottom of the eighth with the Phillies leading. 2 to 0. It will be completed June 28. Chicago's Cubs beat the Cincinnati Redlegs, 2 to 1, behind a two-hitter by Sad Sam Jones. Eddie Miksis accounted for both Bruin tallies. The second game was rained out.
