THE DECATVR MALT DBMOCJRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Warren Spahn Holds Pirates To Three Hits NEW YORK (INS) — Warren Spahn still has plenty of the stuff that has made him the winningest pitched in the majors over the past ten The 85-year-old southpaw ace of the Milwaukee Braves, a 20-game winner six times, had little luck in his first two appearances this season, both against St. Louis. But Tuesday night he matched the offerings of the National League’s earaed-run leader, Bob Friend, and shut out the heavyhanded Pittsburgh Pirates, 5 to 0, on three hits. Spahn, who turned in 17 wins last year—high for the club — despite a bad knee, struck out ten batters and walked only one in chalking up his first victory against one defeat. y He was ably supported by Del Crandall, Joe Adcock and Bobby Thomson, who sealed Friend’s fate —his second defeat in five decisions—with home runs. The veteran Brave hurler, who leads the league with a life-time total of 35 shutouts, matched his obly whitewashing of. 1955 and moved to within 16 games ,of becoming a 200-game winner. The victory in County stadium kept the Braves in first place by .06(1 percentage points ahead of the Cardinals, who knocked out another National League ace, Robin, Roberts, for a 9-to-l victory over Philadelphia. Cincinnati fell a half-game behind the Cards by losing to New York, 5 to 4, and Brooklyn's Don Newcombe blanked Chicago, 6 to 0, in a daylight three-hitter. The New York Yankees stopped Cleveland, 4 to 3, in the first of a three-game series with the Tribe and Boston slipped into second place, 3% games behind the American League pacesetters, by edging Chicago, 4 to 3, in 13 innings. In night games, Baltimore defeated Kansas City, 7 to 4, to take over fourth place and Detroit walloped Washington, 14 to 6, with Charley Maxwell hitting two home runs. Adcock got to Friend in the second inning, Thomson in the sixth with Eddie Mathews aboard and Crandall in the seventh. The Braves’ fifth tally came in the fourth when Bill Bruton tripled and scored on a wild pitch. The .had six hits in all off Friend and eighth-inning reliever Art Swanson. (Robert suffered his second straight setback after three wins when the Cardinals assaulted the big righthander for seven runs in the first three innings. Singles by Wally Moon, Bill Virdon and Hal Smith and a steal by Moon scored two runs in the second inning and the Cards sent Robin to the showers in the third on SUn Musial’s triple, two walks, another Moon single and a threerun homer by Rip Repulski. The Cards got two more in the sixth on Repulski’s double and Smith’s first major league homer. Winner Willard Schmidt and ninth-inning reliever Larry Jacfcs6n held the Phils to four hits. Willie Mays scored two runs and singled home another as the Giants ended Cincinnati’s four-game winning streak. The Redlegs routed Jim Hearn with three runs in the ninth, two on Bob Thurman's home run, but their four errors #nd two earlier in the game proved too much of a handicap. Newcombe's three-hitter was good for his fourth straight win ifter an opening-day loss to Roberts and gave the slump-bedeviled Dodgers their second win in their last nine ames. Gil Hodges gave Newk all he needed with, a threerun homer in the first inning off Warren Haeker. ■ Mickey Mantie, Elston Howard and Hank Bauer slammed Cleveland starter Early Wynn for homeruns tor the Yankees' 14th victory in 19 starts to date. Mantle’s was his 10th and left him 14 games ahead of his 1955 pace when be led the league with 37. Johnny Kucks gave up ten bits, including a homer by Al Smith, but struck out Bobby Avila- on three' pitched halls with two runners on in the ninth for his third win in four decisions. The Red Sox made six errors and stranded 16 runners but beat Chicago and Dixie Howell when Billy Goodman walked in the 13th inning, went to second op. Billy Klaus’ sacrifice, to third on a passed ball and Dick Gernert hit a long single, scoring pinch-run-ner BUly Console. Gernert also homered in the first innin off Billy Pierce. Dave Sisler won in relief. George Zuverink made his fourth straight relief appearance and 14th in 21 Baltimore games to save it for Hal Brown in the ninth inning. The Orioles scored five runs in the first inning off Art Ceccarelli. Gps Zernial homered for the A’s. The Tigers belted Bob Chakales and three Washington relievers for to hits, six of them along with four walks in the eight-run fifth inning, fltoy Sievers gave the Nats a brief lead with a’two-run homer “in the first itmlng:- ' J
