Roth, 49, of suburban Berwyn, 111., was jailed Friday following an audit of her accounts at the Lawndale National Bank while she was away on vacation. “She didn't keep a dime of the money for herself, and just did the thing out of the goodness of her heart,” reported First Assistant U.

Braves Retain Two Game Lead As Spahn Wins By FRED DOWN (United Press Sports Warren Spahn said early in the season he'd "settle for nothing less than 20 victories” and it looks today like the Milwaukee Braves’ 35year-old left-hander may prove as good as his word. Spahn, who bogged down in mid-season after a fast start, scored his fifth straight win and his 15th of the year Friday night when the Braves retained their two-game National League lead with a 6-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. It was a '‘clutch win" because the second-place Brooklyn Dodgers kept the pressure on with a 6-4 decision over the Cincinnati Redlegs. Spahn now needs only two more victories to reach the 200-mark for his career and five more would make him the first southpaw in National League history to win 20 games in seven different seasons. Joe Adcock walloped his 32nd homer, a double and a single and Ed Mathews hit his 30th homer as the Braves handed Robin Roberts his 15th loss of the year.

Hank Sauer and Ray Katt had two hits each for the Cardinals, who handed the Pirates their seventh straight defeat. Willie Mays doubled home Don Mueller in the 11th inning to give the New York Giants a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs and move them to within a half game of seventh place. Mueller had four hits to lead the Giants' attack while Gene Baker collected three hits for the Cubs. The New York Yankees retained their eight-game American League lead when they defeated the Chicago White Sox,. 2-0. behind Johnny Kucks' four-hitter. Gil McDougald homered in the sixth inning for the Yankees’ first run and Mickey Mantle doubled home their second run in the eighth. It was the 17th win of the season for Kucks. Jack Harshman lost his ninth decision. Wertz Returns To Homer Vic Wertz, back in the lineup after a 10-day absence, hit a tworun homer in the fifth inning to give the Cleveland’ Indians a 5-3 win over the Boston Red Sox.

Marion became noticeably worried about his pint-sized second baseman. .... . T -— — “Keep ybur shirt on. Marty," Nellie told him. “Before the season is over I’ll have my 200 hits.” "Well, I dunno,” said a doubting Marion. “You’d better hurry or else you're gonna look awful funny at the end of the season with about 85 hits and a ,150 batting average.” Fox lost no time, and today he is well on the WAY to keeping his promise with a total of 158 hits and a .313 batting average. Foxie, as all his teammates call him, had himself a field day at the Yankee expense Thursday as he smashed out seven straight hits in pacing the White Sox to a double-header sweep. 8-3 and 6-4. The 5-foot-7-inch. 155-pound Fox drove in four runs in the opener with a triple and four singles in five times up, then ripped off two more straight singles in the nightcap before reliever Tommy Byrne finally got him out on a line to leftfield in the third inning. Those seven straight hits, coupled with a single he had collected in his last time at bat against the Red Sox at Boston Wednes day night, gave him eight in a row—only four short of the major league record.
