Braves Defeat Brooklyn Two To Take Lead By MILTON RICHMAN (United Press Sports Writer) Milwaukee shouldered its way back into first place in the National League today and the guy leading the way was big, jolting Joe Adcock, who bombarded the Dodgers so hard that it may take them a long time to dig out Brooklyn pitchers aren’t scheduled to Tate Adcock again for more than two after the misery he caused them Friday night in helping the Braves sweep a twi-night doubleheader, 8-6 and 6-5, they'd be much' happier if they could avoid him the rest of the season. ' Adcock blasted his 14th homer of the season with one on off Don Newcombe to cap a six-run sally in the first inning of the opener and then returned to smash his 15th homer with the bases full off Carl Erskine in the sixth inning of the nightcap. Something about Brooklyn’s pitching seems to bring out the best in Adcock, who drove in five of Milwaukee’s runs in the finale. He has hit seven homers in 13 games against the Dodgers this season, and the battered Brooks still remember how be hammered four hpmers and a double in one game against them on June 31, 1954. Adcock’s homer in Friday night’s nightcap equalled his total for 1955 and wiped out a 4-1 Dodger lead. Jackie Robinson homered to tie the score at 5-all in the eighth, but the Braves won in the bottom of the frame when Danny O’Connell hit a sacrifice fly with the bases full. Ernie Johnson was the winner in the first game while Lew Bnrdette gained his 10th victory in the nightcap. The two victories put the Braves a full game ahead of the Rediegs, who.dropped a 6-4 decision to the Phillies. Left-hander Curt Simmons, aided by home runs off the bats of Stan Lopata and Granny Hamner, survived a shaky etart to post his fourth triumph. Brooks Lawrence, trying tor his 13th consecutive victory, gave way for a pinch hitter in the second inning but Tom Acker was charged with the defeat. Al Dark beat his ex-teammates, the Giants, for the second straight night when he cracked out his fourth straight hit. a double that drove in two runs In the eighth and gave the Cardinals a 7-5 victory. On Thursday night Dark also snapped a tie by hitting a sacrifice fly with the bases full. Reliever Jack Collum was the winning pitcher and Hoyt Wilhelm the loser. Bill White homered for the Giants. Ernie Banks’ seventh inning single scored Dee Fondy with the run that gave the Cubs a 7-6 win over the Pirates. Tbe defeat was charged to Bob Friend, who had homered earlier in the game. Turk Lown picked up the victory in relief of Warren Hacker.—Ws—- — Yankees, threatenltij| to make a runaway of the American League race, stretched their lead to 8% games by routing the Indians, 10-0, for their seventh victory in a row. Tom Sturdivant pitched his first major league shutout in limiting the Tribe to two hits while Moose Skowron drove ip tbe first four Yanked runs with a single and a homer. Early Wynn suffered the

loss. The victory was Sturdivant’s eighth against two losses. Jim Piersail provided an eighthinning single that scored Mickey Vernon from second base and led the Red Sox to a 5-4 triumph over the White Sox. Piersail’s blow came off reliever Gerry Staley, but it was Jim Wilson who suffered the sebtack. Ike Delock gained his sixth victory in a relief role. ■Rookie Lou Skizas' first major league homer highlighted a threerun first inning rally that proved enough margin for Kansas City’s 3-2 win over Baltimore. Skizas hit his homer off Connie Johnson and 1 Alex Kellner went on to register his seventh victory although he 1 gave up homers to and George Kell.

Johnson Leading Decathlon Field CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. (UP) —Classy Rater Johnson, California’s gift to the track and field world, takbs dead aim at his world record tonight in the five k final events of the 38th national , AAU and Olympic decathlon i trials. The £O-year old UCLA sensation finished Friday night’s competition with 4,639 points—9B ahead i cf his record pace at that stage in June of last year when he totaled f 7,983 for all 10 events at Kingsburg, Calif., his home town. Ho won two of the first five events and tied for another with ‘ Notre Dame’s Aubrey Lewis in a ihrilling 400 meter dash finish in : semi-darkness to take a 25-point 1 lead over Milt Campbell, the for--1 mer Indiana football and track 1 star, now in the navy, who fin- ' ished with 4,387, 1 Third was Bob Ijiwson of 1 Southern California, the runnerup ' last year, with 3.998. Next in order came Lewis and Sam Adams of the Santa Barbara, Calif., Ath--1 '.otic Club. 1 The top three at the conclusion of the 1,500 meter run. the final 1 event, will represent Uncle Sam I !n the Olympics. ' Johnson was virtually conceded first. Also on the agenda are the 100 i meter high hurdles, discus, pole 1 vault and javelin throw. Johnson’s ' only weakness is the tough 1,500 | in which he grabbed only 251 i points in his record performance last year. Rev. Bob Richards, national decathlon champion the past two years, who counts heavily on the pole vault to pull his point total up, was seventh going into tonight’s events.

A spinal nerve controlling the lower part of her body was severed. The spokesman declined to say if that means the Babe, who won fame the world over as an Olympic track star and renowned professional golfer, will have to'get along ewithout being able to use her legs.

You'll be back playing with us soon.” “I don’t see why,” Zimmer retorted bitterly. “1 don’t even play when I’m healthy.” Nat Fleischer, the boxing historian and editort of The Ring magazine, was turned down by the American Olympic committee when he requested press credentials for the Olympic games. So he signed to do a series for Australian Consolidated Press and will make the trip — with all expenses paid.

Swaps can close in a bit and take sixth place in the ally time standings in the >IOO,OOO guaranteed Hollywood Gold Cup. And Needles is only >58.000 off Nashua’s world record pace at a comparable early three-year old stage. But Nashua has his million plus and they still have it to win.
