Dodgers Shave Braves' Lead To Two Gaines By JOHN GRIFFIN (United Press Sports Writer) Hack on the Braves’ heels again, because skinny Don Bessent pitched like Clem Labine at his greatest, the Brooklyn Dodgers set sail today into a schedule of 16 Straight games against second-divi-sion teams with their pennant hopes flying higher than ever. Bessent. who took over as the Dodgers' No. 1 artist when ace Labine broke a bone in his wrist last week, blanked the Braves for four innings Monday to get credit for a clutyjr 6-3 victory. He now has pitched 25 straight shutout innings. • It was the Dodgers’ “biggest” win so far this year, for it put them back two games behind Milwaukee with a split of their twogame series. Now, only one game behind in the vital “lost” column, the Dodgers feel the schedule favors them in the run to the wire. Here's why: Os the 33 games they have left, a whopping 27 are against second division teams and only six against top teams. By contrast, the Braves play first-division teams in 14 of 31 games, and third-place Cincin-

nati meets the leaders 14 times in 29 games. What’s more, Brooklyn is the only J contender with more home games left than road games. They play 20 of their remaining 33 at cramped but cosy Ebbets Field where they hit so many homers. The Braves have 14 home games left, the Redlegs only 10. Thin, pale-faced Bessent, gaining his first victory of the year in relief of staff ace Don Newcombe. allowed just one hit in four frames and was boosted to victory by two key plays. Pitcher Gene Conley of the Braves made the first play. With runners on first and third in the top of the eighth and the score tied. 3-3, he fielded Carl Furillo's one-bouncer and chose to throw to the plate instead of trying for a double play. Before baserunner Jim Gilliam was tagged out in a rundown, the Dodgers had runners at second and third. That set up the second play. Jackie Robinson was purposely passed to pitch to Campanella. Campanella singled to score all three runners. Robinson coming al Ithe way home from first when the outfield relay was slow. That gave Brooklyn a 6-3 lead and Bessent kept the Braves at bay. The Braves had built up a 3-0 lead against Newcombe on Joe Adcock’s solo homer in the second and Bobby Thomson’s twbrun homer in the fourth. Duke Snider of the Dodgers cracked his 35th homer with a man on in the sixth and the Dodgers tied the score in the sevetnh when Robinson doubled and Sandy Amoros singled. Conley explained his decision to throw’ home: “I was told to watch home.” The only other major-league action Monday saw Chico Carrasquel drivein -three runs with a pair of homers .to lead Cleveland to a 5-2 victory in a night game at Washington, thus moving the second-place Indians within seven games of the first-place New York Yankees in the American .League. Rocky Colavito also homered for the Tribe as pitcher Bob Lemon, tossing an eight-hitter, gained his 17th victory and the 198th of his career. Openings AvcrHwble In Women's League Announcement was.made today that there are still some openings for teams in the Women's Bowling league at the Mies alleys. There also are a few teams, already organized which need one or two bowlers. Any one interested in participating this year is asked to call Mrs. George Laurent or Mrs. Wilford Plasterer.

Junior High Gridders To Report Wednesday Any young man in the seventh or eighth grades who would like to register for junior high football and was not out at Worthman field last Friday morning should be at the field at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning.

Sugar Ray was still asking for a sixty grand assurance, but in such a mild voice that a compromise appeared in the immediate offing. Emil K. Ellis, the champion’s attorney, informed Norris that Robinson would be ready to go through with the original plan for
