Chicago Cubs Beat Phillies Double Header By FRED DOWN (United Prats Sports Writer) The Chicago Cuba have discarded their “patsy label” and rank today as the Hew “surprise team” of the major leagues. Off to a dismal start, Stan Hack’s fahgiess Bruins seemed doomed to the National League cellar as recently as Memorial Day. But no*' they're travelling at a .727 pace that’s the best in either league for the mopth of June, and they’ve been doing it by beating the cream of the circuit’s pitching talent. » The Cubs made It eight victories in their last 11 games when they beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1 and 5-2 Sunday. It was their second consecutive sweep of a dou-blp-header and recalled Hack’s pre-season promise that the Cubs "tfould give everybody trouble before the season is over.” Eddie Mikels, who's been hitting dose to .400 in the surge, broke up the 11-inning opener with a single that scored Pete Whisenaut from third base. Mikels had homered in the first inning to give the Cubs their other run off Curt Simmons. Vito Valentinetti, who took over for Warren Hacker in the ninth, picked up his third win and second in three days. Sam Jones, an early disappointment after his fine rookie campaign of 1955, came through with his best game of the season in the nightcap when h 4 struck out nine batters and yielded only six hits in 8 1-3 innings. Jones ran into trouble in the ninth when the Phillies loaded the bases but Turk Lown came on to get Stan Lopata to hit into a double play. The Cincinnati Redlegs bowed to the Brooklyn Dodgers, 8-6, but retained first place by three percentage points when the other contenders either split doubleheaders or lost. Rookie Charley Neal's two-run homer provided the Dodgers with their margin of victory, but jt was Ed Roebuck's seven innings of one run relief pitching that held the Redlegs at bay. Ransom Jackson homered and drove in four runs for Brooklyn, while Ted Kluszewski and Wally Post hornered.for the Redlegs. The 'Pittsburgh • Pirates heM first place briefly when they walloped the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-3, but Herman Wehmeier came back to pitch the (Redbirds to a 3-0 triumph in the nightcap. Luis Arroyd fanned five to beat his former mates in the opener while Wehi ineier also struck out five and allowed only one runner to reach third base. The New York Giants, now only a half-game ahead of the Cubs, rallied for four runs in the seventh inning to beat the Milwaukee Braves, 5-3. Johnny Antonelli earned his fifth victory in relief. Warren Spahn suffered his fifth straight loss since May 17, when his record was 3-L In the American League, the New York Yankees restored their lead, to 3% games when they downed the Cleveland Indians. 6-0. Johnny Kucks limited the Indians to nine hits for his seventh wih while Joe Collins blasted a threerun homer off Bob Lemon for the big New York blow of the contest. Billy Pietce won his eighth game to tie Jim Wilson and Tom Brewer for the individual lead and give the Chicago White Sox a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Box. The White Sole scored all three runs off George Susce in the third. Enos Slaughter’s pinch double snapped a 2-2 sixth-innihg tie and the Kansas City Athletics snapped a five-game losing streak with 7-3 decision over the Baltimore Orioles. Art Ditmar won his fifth game. The Washington Senators beat the Detroit Tigers, 6-5, on Jim Lemon's two-run ninth inning single and then Lemon and Roy Sievers homered as the Nats won the nightcap, 12-9. The Senators had lost six straight games to the Tigers before Sunday. / Robin Freeman Hurt While Chopping Wood CINCINNATI, Ohio (UP)—-Robin Freeman.
