Redlegs Hand I Dodgers 4th 1 Loss In Row NEW YORK (INS) — The Dod- ‘ gers aren’t dead . . » yet. They’re just in a coma. . , Their own anemic hitting and pitching, plus a better balanced , brand of opposition this year, has the world champions from Brooklyn wallowing in fourth place on 1 the tail end of a four-game losing i streak. The Bums actually have drop- , ■ ped five straight, matching their ‘ ’ longest losing streak of last sea- 1 son, if you want to count their ex- 1 i hlbition loss to Cleveland earlier 1 this week. 1 i If you do, that means Walter- 1 . Alston has squeezed only 11 runs ■ and 27 hits out of his batting or- 1 der while Pittsburgh, the Indians . and Cincinnati have clobbered 16 1 Dodger pitchers for 35 rubs and 55 1 ' hits. If you don’t, the opposition mere- 1 ly belted 14 hurler* for 34 runs and 51 hits to a total of 11 ran* i and 25 hits for Brooklyn . No matter how you slice it, 1 ■ though, the Dodgers are hurttag > Even when they regain their form 1 - at the plate, as they started to do 1 I in Wednesday night’s 10-to-6 de- i - feat at Cincinnati, Alston is left | i with a problem on the mound. 1 i Walter started Don Drysdale, Billy Loes, Chuck Templeton, Carl - Erskine and Roger Craig in the j last games with no success. His i bag of relievers too has not been 1 very sharp. » The Redlegs Wednesday night » set a club record against Dodger pitching, banging out five home ■ runs —two by Qus Bell and one each by Ray Jablonski, George Crowe and Wally Post.

The 13 blow's against Craig, Jim Hughes, Ken Lehman and Ed Roebuck also included two doubles and a bases-loaded triple by Roy McMillan. Brooks Lawrence, winner Joe Black and Hershell Freeman, meanwhile, tyeld the Dodgers to six hits but three were homers by Duke Snider, Roy Campanella and Sandy Amoros, all in the eighth inning. The Redlegs, who now stand in third place with a six-game win streak, kayoed Craig with six runs in the first inning on McMillan's triple. Bell’s first two-run smash and Jablonski’s sixth homer of the year. But the deciding tally came in the third on a hoftier by first blSw-* man Crowe, who is keeping Ted Kluszewski on the bench. Post’s eighth homer in the eighth inning was Cincinnati's 27th in 12 games. The first division was completely juggled as St. Louis recaptured first place from idle Milwaukee by outlasting improved Pittsburgh, 10 to 9, in Iff innings. Two major league records were set when New York decisioned Chicago, 6 to 5, In the only other scheduled NL game—a 17-inning marathon that lasted five hours, 15 minutes. Idle Chicago backed into the American League driver's seat when Detroit beat the New York Yankees, 8 to 1, on Frank Lary’s three-hitter. Tom Brewer pitched another three-hitter as Boston blanked Kansas City, 2 to 0, in the only other game. Rain washed out Chicago at Baltimore and Cleveland at Washington.

Three More Schools Placed On Probation NEW ORLEANS (INS) — Auburn. the University of Florida and the University of Louisville have been placed on probation for rules infractions by the national collegiate athletic association’s council. The penalties, announced Wednesday by the 18-man policy direction group of the NCAA which met in New Orleans, are effective immediately. The athletic association also decided that the facts did not warrant investigations of squabbles over basketball players between Ohio State and the University of Dayton and between the University of Wisconsin and Wartburg college of Waverly, O. Ohio State and Dayton had alternately charged each other with “pirating” players. The most severe penalty —for three years — was meted out to Auburn. It is the longest probationary sentence ever handed down by the NCAA. The Florida and Louisville probations are for two years each. Auburn is barred from all bowl games and a specified list of invitational tournaments for trying to buy football players. The NCAA backed the Southeastern Conference in punitive action it took, against Auburn for giving SSOO each to twin brothers for agreeing to sign football contracts. - Assistant coach Hal Herring offered the money to Harry and Robert Beaube last year. The SEC fined Auburn $2,000 and placed it on probation for an indefinite period. Auburn was “reprimanded and censured” by the NCAA, for giving the money to the twins and for “the failure of the institution’s athletic director, G. W. Beard, and its football coach, Ralph Jordan, to take corrective or punitive action upon learning of the incident." Florida was placed on probation for promising prospective athletes two or three alumni-paid round trips home each year. The promises were in violation of NCAA rules for the past four years and were stopped by the school last December. The University of Louisville also was placed on probation for recruiting infractions. The NCAA said that two prospective basketball players were offered transportation to and from their homes in violation of NCAA rules. Louisville was ruled ineligible to participate in the national col‘iegiate basketball tournament an'd other invitational basketball events which cooperate with the NC.\A. ■■
