Braves' Rookie Hurls Victory In First Start By CARL LUNDQUIST • (United Press Sport* Writer) Taylor Phillips and Bob Trowbridge, whose names are as strange to the pennant race as if they had just stepped out of a space ship, were keeping the Milwaukee Braves in first place today" at a time when their veteran heroes were faltering. Phillips, a 23-year-old who shed his GI khaki for a baseball uniform this season, pitched a threehitter in his first major , league start Thursday night to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-1. It was vital that he did because the Cardinals won the second game, 5-1. by belaboring Gene Conley. The previous night it was young Trawbridge who came to the rescue by beating the Cards with a six-hitter after which Lew (Best Bet) Burdette, another trusty veteran, also suffered a defeat. The victory was extra sweet for Phillips because he was a private in the same company where Cardinal pitchar Vinegar Bend Mizell was his sergeant and “Well, we weren't exactly buddies.” He would have preferred beating Mizell instead of Murry Dickson, but was happy to settle for his performance wherein he struck out six Redbirds. Stan Musial banged home three runs to give Tom Po holsky an eight-hit second game triumph. The hodgers moved within a game and a half of the top by defeating Pittsburgh 7-3 on a T3-hit job in which they also made use of three Pirate errors. Junior Gilliam made four hits, two of them doubles, Carl Erskine failed in quest Os his ninth straight triumph but reliever Ed Roebuck gained it instead. Cincinnati chugged to within two games of the top by defeating the Cubs, 5-3, in 10 innings on Gus Bell's 22nd homer and" his third in four games. Ted Kluszewski tied it up at 3-3 With his 27th homer with a man on in the eighth. Brooks Lawrence won his 16th game in a relief role’. -The Giants ended the six-game Philadelphia winning streak with a 5-2" victory in which Jackie Brandt propelled two homers. Willie Mays and Bill White also homered for the Giants. Andy Seminick hit a two-run homer for the Phils. Mickey Mantle went 11 games ahead of Babe Ruth’s home run pace with his 39th Jiomer in a 15-7 Yankee triumph at Washing ton in which Hank Bauer banged four hits and Billy Martin, Bill Skowron and Andy Carey had three each. The Red Sox took over second place with a 3-1 triumph over the Orioles in which Frank Sullivan pitched a six-hitter and Jimmy Ptersali delivered the marginal runs with a two-run single. Ted Williams got two hits and was we) behaved all the way. Sherman Lollar again sparked the White Sox by driving in two runs and scoring a pair himself in a 9-2 triumph over Cleveland that dropped the Indians to third place. Kansas City, given a lift on Gus Zernial's three run first in' ning homer, went on to defeat Detroit, 5-3 and end a six - game losing streak as Art Ditmar hurled 6 1-3 scoreless relief innings for the triumph.

Bo Winninger of Odessa, said “everything just clicked right for mg" as he marked up a seven under par 65, just two strokes away from Lloyd Mangrum’s professional course record of 63 set in 1948. Winninger’s display obscured the admirable showing turned in by Cary Middlecoff and Errie Ball. “I shot a 66 in a qualifying tourney here about three years back,” said Ball, “but I think this 66 was my best round ever."
