Lawrence Hurls 13th Straight Win For Reds By FRED DOWN (United Press Sports Writer) Brooks Lawrence's 13 consecutive victories gave him the longest winning streak in the majors since 1949 today and an outside chance to equal or surpass (Rube Marquard’s 44-year-old all-time major league record. The 205-pound Cincinnati Redleg right-hander ran his perfect season mark to 13-0 Tuesday night when he scored a 4-3 decision over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Lawrence touched off the winning rally himself when he opened the ninth inning with a double, pinch-runner Jim Dyck eventually scoring the decisive run when Ted Kluszewski singled with the bases filled. The 13 straight triumphs gave Lawrence the longest winning streak by a pitcher since Ellis Kinder reeled off that number for the Boston Red Sox in 1949. Lawrence is within three victories of the club record set by Ewell Blackwell in 1947 and within six of the big league mark of 19 straight wins established by Marquard In 1912. Lawrence yielded a two-run homer to Carl Furillo in the first inning and another run in the seventh when the red-hot Furillo doubled home Duke Snider but the Redlegs tied the score at 3-3 in the eighth when rookie Frank Robinson hit his 20th homer of the season. Robinson, incidentally, needs 18 more homers to tie the big league mark for a rookie set by Wally Betger in 1930. The victory, Cincinnati's ninth in 12 games with the world champions this season, moved the Redlegs to within one game of the firft-place Milwaukee Braves, who bowed to the New York Giants, 8-6. The Braves had won seven straight games and the Giants had lost seven ih a row. Willie Mays doubled home Jackie Brandt to break a 6-6 tie in the llth inning and Hank Thompson singled for an insurance tally. Johnny Antonelli picked up his ninth victory in relief while Gene Cqnley suffered the loss. Brandt, Bill wwte and Dusty RhMeOoTrt-: ered for the Giants and Hank Aaron kit one for the Braves. Bob Friend won his first game since June 16 and 12th. of the year «bsa-he -pitched -U« -Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-2 decision over the St Louis i Cardinals. Dick Groat doubled home two rubs in the 10th to snap the Pirates' six-game losing skein and htnd the Cardinals their third straight defeat. Don Hoak’a third double of the game followed by Gene Baker's single enabled the Chicago Cubs to gain a . Jg-inning. 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phijlies. Turk Lown held the Phillies to five hits in the last seven innings to win bls fifth game while Jack Meyer suffered his fifth loss. Johnny Kucks became the first picther to win 14 games when he hurled a six-hitter as the New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers. 4-0, and ran their winning streak to 11 games. Kucks allowed only one batter to reach third base and coasted after - the Yankees touched BUly Hoeft for three runs in the first inning. The win stretched the Yankees’ lead to 10% games over the idle Cleveland Indians.

Ted Williams hit the 400th homer of his career — joining Babe 'Ruth, Jimmy Foxx, Mel Ott and Lou Gehrig in tljat lofty category — to hejp the Boston Red Sox whip the Kansas City Athletics, 10-Cr and 1-0. Williams' homer broke up a pitching duel between Bob Porterfield and Tom Gbrman after Tom Brewer coasted to his 12th win behind a 16-hit Boston attack that included homers by Don Buddin and Billy Klaus. The Red Sox have won 10 of 12 games in their biggest surge of the campagin. The Baltimore Orioles scored two 5-3 triumphs that stretched the Chicago White Sox’ losing streak to 10 games and knocked them into fourth place... Don Ferrarese hurled a three-hitter in the first game and Bill Wight game through with a six-hitter in the nightcap to extend Orioles’ winning streak to five games.

,■>. in ■■■ Wild Scene Enacted In Milwaukee Park MILWAUKEE (UP) — What a sight! There was Milwaukee’s big Joe Adcock chasing New York's little Reuben Gomez across the field. A third base coach tried to tackle Gomez and police finally restored peace and quiet. The wildest moment in Milwaukee County Stadium this season started seconds after Gomes, the Giants’ pitcher, hit Adcock on the left wrist in the second inning. As Adcock walked slowly to first, the big first sacker could be seen talking to Gomez. Suddenly, Gomez wheeled on the mound as Adcock was about half way to first and threw the ball at Adcock again, this time hitting him in the left side. Gomez darted off the mound as Adcock-- started for him. Gomez won the race to the New York dugout, thanks to interference by his teammates, umpires and police. Braves third base coach Johnny Riddle attempted to tackle Gomez between third and home but failed. The entire Giants’ bench came out of the dugout to shelter Gomez from the lumbering Adcock and the Braves came to Adcock’s aid. “He called me an SOB,” Adcock said in explaining his action. “That’s when I started out to the mound. I never was so mad in my life. I’m sorry I didn’t catch him.” Gomez said, “I didn’t hear anything he said to me. When I turned around, he was running toward me, so I threw the ball at him. I didn’t miss either.” The slender pitcher, considerably outweighed by the 210-pound Adcock, said he ran to the dugout because, “I wasn’t going to get my ribs broken.” Gomez stopped only briefly in the dugout. Several 'plain clothesmen later took Gomez to the Hotel Schroeder. Adcock also left the park in a hurry at the request of police. “I imagine this means an auto matic 10-day suspension,” Adcock said ruefully. Both men were ejected from the game, but It was not known if any other action would be taken. New York Manager Bill Rigney said he would do nothing as far as reprimanding Gomez for his part in the incident. '<■ ■”7 blame AdcOck for charglhg Gomez.” He said Adcock crowds the plate on the first pitch and Gomez keeps batters away from tit. eariy Wfc riv. When asked if he had ever seen anything like it before, Rigney said: “Have you?”

Ford Favored To Take PGA Golf Tourney CANTON, Mass (UP) — Defending champion Doug Ford, because “he’s one of the better scramblers,” was the pick of most of bis fellow pros today to win the RIGA golf championship which begins Friday on the Blue Hill Country Club course. “Believe me it takes a scrambler to win this one," said veteran Jimmy Demaret, expressing the geaeraL sentiment of the other 127 golfers who will be shooting to dethrone Ford. "That isn't to aay that Doug isn't good golfer, for he is. —- “But he’a young — only 33-and it takes one of the younger golfers to win it, just as it takes what we call scramblers,” lie added. Ford won the title last year in his first shot at it, beating Gary Middlecoff, the U.S. Open champion, 4 and 3 in the finals. *> By a scrambler, Demaret meant a golfer who isn't too straight off the tees, but can gamble to get out of trouble because if he doesn’t it will only cost him a hole “and not maybe two or three strokes which are so hard to make up in medal play.” The colorful Jimmy classed Chick Harbert, the 1964 PGA winner, and Jimmy Turnesa. another of the former champions in the field, as “scramblers in the Ford class.” |

Sammy Snead, one of the two three-tlme- winners of the title in the field, ‘"le a scrambler of sorts, too,” Demaret said, "But there’s a difference — Snead is 44 and that's old when It comes to match, pley." The PGA Is a five day affairs Friday, two 18 hole rounds on with a single 18, hole round on Friday, two 18 hole rounds on Saturday and Sunday, and 36-hole matches on Monday and Tuesday. Thus to win it, the champion conceivably would have to go 162 holes. “That’s too much to ask of any

golfer except the young one*," Demaret said. "That's why I feel the PGA should adopt a new format, making the championship a 72-hole medal play tournament like the Open, rather than thia match play business.” He conceded, however, that “if an old timer like Snead should get through until the 36-hole matches, he'll have a chance." Washington College in Maryland is the only one to hold that name with the consent of George Washington.
