Braves Drop 16th Decision By Single Run NEW YQRK (INS) — Listen to Jolty Chollj^,,Grimm talk and he'll tell you that his Milwaukee Braves can catch the Brooklyn Dodgers. But count the number of one run decisions his team has lost this season and the optimistic banjo master appears to be off in his notes. “I firmly believe we can catch the Dodgers,” Grimm declared Monday night. ‘We’ve started to click and I'm sure we’ll keep right on going to the finish.” That was before the Brayes, “hooked - up with the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds and were defeated by one run, 6 to 5. The Braves, still 12% games behind the Brooks, have dropped 16 games by the margin of one run. This inability to win . the dose ones is strong anti-pennant medicine. ’* The Giants won the game by scoring two runs in the seventh off Warren Spahn, appearing in a relief role. Center fielder Bill Bruton dropped a fly ball by Willie Mays after a long run and two Giants scored on the error. The Braves had nullified homers by Henry Thompson and Alvin Dark off starter Bob Buhl by scoring four runs in the fourth and exiting Giant starter Ruben Gomez, The victory gave the Durochermen a split in their four game series with the Braves and they are now 15% games behind the Dodgers. Manager Walter Alston, who admitsthat the Braves are "the team to beat,” saw his Brooklyn club drop a home game to Cincinnati for the first time this season. The Redlegs slammed three Dodger hurlers for 13 hits, including two homers by Stan Palys and one by Ted Kluszewski to top the league leaders, 9to o. — The Philadelphia Phillies completed a sweep of the fading Chicago Cubs. The Phillies copped the completion of Sunday’s suspended contest, 8 to 6, and then won the night game, ? to 1. on Roy Smalley’s two-run homer in the fifth off Warren Hacker. Veteran righthander Jim Wilson hurled a masterful two-hitter as the- Baltimore Orioles blanked the Chicago White Sox, 3 to 0, to break the go-Sox seven game winning streak. Chicago fell two games behind the idle New York Yankees in the American League race. ' ’ The Yankees and Chisox begin a big three game series in Chicago tonight. In the only other A.L. contest scheduled Monday, the Washington Senators downed the Kansas City Athletics, 6 to 3. • More than one-fifth of all radios in the U. S. are in automobiles. afass of the earth is 81 times that ol the ihoou.
