The Giants, now Bft games off the pace, dropped their ninth game in 12 starts by bowing to the Cardinals, 3-2, in 11 innings Wednesday night while the Braves who have tumbled from first place to fourth, suffered their sixth loss in seven starts by losing to the Dodgers. 5-2. r ' Nothing the Giants do these dajfs seems to workout right. Wednesday night, for example, they bad a 2-1 lead until the ninth when the Cards tied the score with two oat when Stan Mvsial doubled and Ken Boyer singled bhn home. Then in th* Hth, Jackie Brandt doubled to score pinch • runner

Chuck Harmon and earn reliever Ellis Kinder his second triumph. Things are going almost as badly for the collapsing Braves. Hank Aaron put them ahead with a two-' run homer in the first Inning but Don Newcombe shut the door in Milwaukee’s face the remainder of the way to wind up with a fivehitter and his eighth victory of the year. Gene uomey. tne Braves’ big pitching hope, was nicked for all of Brooklyn's nine hits, including a homer by Duke Snider, in the 7 1-3 innings he worked to absorb his second defeat as the Dodgers climbed into a virtual fourth-place tie with Milwaukee. While the Giants and Braves are heading downward, the Pirates and Redlegs are surprising all the experts by staying up in the redhot National League race. Pittsburgh retained its hold on first place by defeating the Cubs, 8-2, on home runs by Dale Long, Frank Thomas and Roberto Clemente. Long belted his 16th homer of the season with one man on in the first inning off Paul M inner and that put the Pirates ahead to stay. Ronnie Kline scattered six hits for his fifth victory. Frank Robinson, bidding for rookie of the year honors in the National League, smashed his 12th hornet with two on in the seventh

inning to bring the Redlegs front behind and help them to a 7-3 de- < clsion over the seventh-place Phillies. Brooks Lawrence gained his seventh victory. The Yankee* held on to their 3«4 game lead In the American League race by snapping a fourgame losing streak at the expense of the Athletics, 10-5. The Yanks hammered loser Tommy Lasorda for three runs in the first inning and then put the game on ice with a five-run rally in the third. The Yankees collected 12 hits, including homers by Yogi Berra and Bill Skowron. A two-run single by Sammy White in the eighth liming broke a 2-all tie and led the Red Sox to a 5-4 triumph over the Tigers. Detroit starter Paul ■ Foytack had a three-hitter until he blew up in the eighth. Tom Brewer registered his eighth victory. Art Houtteman and Ray Narleski combined in a six-hit pitching effort that paid off in a 5-1 victory for Cleveland over Baltimore. Houtteman, who was credited with the win. left the game because of a sore shoulder in the sixth. A six-run rally in the fifth inning helped the Senators to a 12-7 victory over the White Sox as Carlos Paula and rookie Whitey Herzog each homered for Washington. Family Strings HARTFORD, Conn.

Boudreau Elated At I Success On Mantle NEW YORK (VP) - Lou Boudreau, elated at the initial success of his '’Mickey Mantle shift," disclosed today he’s only begun to Scheme up ways of harrassjng the New York Yankees' home run sensation, "I’m going to learn more about him,” the Kansas City Athletics, manager said. ’’l've got to know how many times be hits the first pitch . . . how often he goes after the changeup . . . everything I can . . . and then maybe we can work on him with continued success.” Boudreau was “pleased but not satisfied" with the fact that Mantle had gone 4-for-0 in two games" against the new version of the "Ted Williams shift" which Lou created 10 years ago to combat the great Boston Red Sox slugger. / Mantle has struck out three times and gone out on a 120-fibot in his efforts against the shift. “That fellow was hitting .625 against us for the season," Boudreau explaned after Wednesday’s 10-5 loss to the Yankees. “I’m not going to just stand around and Jet anybody—Ted Williams or Mickey I Mantle .beat my brains out and not try to do something about it." “We’ll shift a different way on every pitch if it’ll help to stop him," Boudreau said. Yankee Manager Casey Stengel, who was distinctly cool toward Boudreau in discussing the unorthodox defense alignment, predkTed aftw giving Mantle special bunting instructions that the shift “won’t present any mental problems for Mickey.” “It’ll cost him 10 points on his batting average when he tries to hit into the shift but he’ll get ’em back bunting.” Stengel said. "And sometimes he’ll hit right over the shift into the upper deck." The new shift throws a blockade of fielders up on the entire right side of the playing field leaving only the left-flelder to guard third base. It seemingly concedes Mantle a? “bunt single" at his pleasure but Boudreau refused even to admit that. “If he can bunt a high inside fast ball we’re conceding him a bunt single," Boudreau said. "But who says he can bunt that pitch?” Oriental Library LOS ANGELES (UP) — An Oriental library of more than 50,000 volumes has been opened on tire • the University of California cam’pus here.

All members of the Decatur team are requested to report at the field at 3:30 p.m. Bobby Boyd Winner Over Milo Savage CHICAGO (UP) — Visions of a title chance danced through the head of middleweight Bobby Boyd today like Christmas plums, but both Gene Fullmer land Tiger Jones rated as potential thorns in the pie before the Chicago battler gets a chance at Sugar Ray Robinson. • Boyd. 22, punched out his ninth straight victory Wednesday nightgaining a tenth round technical knockout over Mito Savage, Salt Lake City, to avenge his last previous defeat, April 18. 1950. Both Jones and Fullmer were brought up as possible opponents by the International Boxing clubs Truman Gibson, who said that Robinson would confer today with IBC president James D. Norris about his future plans. Boyd got a minor break in beatJi n g Savage. Savage plunged i through the ropes to the floor in the fourth round and suffered- a bruised floating rib. This handicapped him the rest of The way and tie -winced visibly whenever Boyd landed on his left side. Still Boyd put him down for a count of one with a right to the head in the ninth round and in the tenth he landed steadily with jabs before he put home, a leftright combination which put Savage down momentarily again. Referee Joey White stopped the brawl then, holding Savage in his corner to prevent him from returning to combat after 27 seconds. Denies Cincinnati Redlegs Will Move CINCINNATI (UP) — General Manager Gabe Paul of the Cincinnati Redlegs spiked reports today that the club is looking around for another home. Paul said there were no plans afoot “at this time” to move the Redlegs to another city. The possibility of the Redlegs’ moving bobbed up as a result of a recent statement made by club president Powell ■ Crosley in which he said the temptation to move the club "might be too much to resist” unless something is done about the inadequate parking facilities. Cleveland Pitcher Awaits Test Result BALTIMORE (UP > — Cleveland's lefty picthing ace, Herb Score, anxiously awaited results today of X-ravs and blood tests which may explain why he suddenly was stricken with severe abdominal pains. Score, who leads both major leagues in strikeouts, was sent to Union memorial hospital for examination when he complained of the pains.
