' The Phillies haven’t had a rookie • win 20 games since Grover Cleve--1 land Alexander did it in 1911 but 1 the 27-year-old speedbailer from • Wellesley, Mass., raised his rec- • ord to 13-3 Wednesday night with a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee ! Braves l The St. Louis Cardinals moved - to within a game and a half pf i the first-place Braves when Larry Jackson shut out the Brooklyn ; Dodgers, 3-0, and the Cincinnati l Redlegs were only two games I from the top after Joe Nuxhall downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, i 2-0. The Chicago Cubs shaded the ! New York Giants, 24, in the other i National League game. ( Billy Pierce scored hrs 14th vic- . tory as the Chicago White Sox kept the American League race “alive” with a 7-2 win over the New York Yankees while the third-place Boston Red Sox kept ’ moving at a brisk pace with a 6-5 ' decision over the Kansas City Athletics. The Detroit Tigers beat ’ the Baltimore Orioles, 5-1, and the Washington Senators scored a ■ 5-4 victory after losing to the Cleveland Indians, 4-3, in other 14 AL activity. . Sanford, who took 10 years to reach the majors, struck out eight Braves to raise his league-leading total to 124. He also delivered the game-winning blow when he doubled home Willie Jones in the seventh inning. He yielded the Braves’ run in the bottom of the frame when Wes Covington homered. Jackson turned in his 11th win for the Cardinals with a nifty three - hitter, striking out eight. Del Ennis doubled home the Cardinals' first run and Al Dark scored the other runs after his two triples. Sal Maglie was the loser Nuxhall pitched an eight - hitter for the Redlegs who scored both their runs against Bob Friend in the third inning on singles by Johnny Temple, Gus Bell and Frank Robinson plus an error by outfielder Bob Clemente. The loss was Friend's 13th against eleven wins. Don Elston's seven - hitter enabled the Cubs to beat the Giants ' for the second straight game and ; handed Johnny Antonelli his 10th setback. Jim Bolger’s fifth-inning ' sacrifice fly brought in the deci- ; sive run. ! Yank Hurters Pounded Pierce remained the majors’ biggest winner with a seven-hitter as thd White Sox cut the Yanks’ first-place lead to 4% games with the help of four straight hits by Luis Aparicio. The White Sox kayoed Yankee ace Whitey Ford in 2 1-3 innings and went on to pound out 13 hits. Tom Brewer won hi sl2th game of the year when the Red Sox scored six runs in the fourth inning. Sam White delivered a tworun single in the big inning and four other players knocked in one run each for the Red Sox. Paul Foytack beat the Orioles for the fifth time this year as the Tigers pounded out 13 hits including three by Charley Maxwell and two each by Al Kaline, Frank House and Frank Bolling. ExBrooklyn fireballcr Billy Loes suffered his fifth defeat for Baltimore. Lew Berberet’s two- run ninthinning homer gave Washington's Chuck Stobbs his third win of the year over Cleveland after the Indians combined three singles and two sacrifice flies to score two ninth - inning runs and win the opener.

Despite persistent whispers that the report will turn thumbs down on the stadium, the Dodgers have promised Mayor Robert F. Wagner to make no decision until the report has been completed. The Dodgers' policy of silence was apparently broken Wednesday with club Vice President EJ. (Buzzy) Bavasi quoted in. Jacksonville, Fla., as saying that the team definitely will go to Los Angeles because ‘we can’t get land for a new stadium.” "We would build the stadium if they would get us the land," Bavasi was quoted, “but the city fathers are not going to do that.” On his return to Brooklyn, Bavasi insisted that what he said in Jacksonville had been “misunderstood” by reporters. "The situation is the same now as it was six weeks ago,” Bavasi said. “In other words, we are simply waiting for the report to the Board of Estimate to be made on the possibility of ing land to build a new stadium.” , SPECIALS!

Red Grange Praises Pro Football Setup WASHINGTON (UP) - Harold (Red) Grange, one of football's all-time greats, praised the current set-up in professional football today as “the best system that’s been worked out yet." Grange and four other gridiron giants were called by a House anti-trust subcommittee to testify on workings of the National Football League. 1 Two present - day players — Chuck Bednarik of the Philadel- ( phia Eagles and Jack Jennings of i the Chicago Cardinals — were to testify first. Then the subcommiti tee planned to hear from Grange, ex-Chicago Bears quarterback Sid i Luckman and former Bear lineman George Connor. i Grange told reporters he finds i nothing to criticize about the opi erations of the NFL nowadays. He said the players, as a whole, get a better salary deal than in his day. Grange was asked what he . thought about football’s reserve clause A player signs a one-year ' contract with a team which then has an option to sign him up a second year. “In all my years in professional football I’ve never heard a player complain about it,” Grange said. The subcommittee is studying 1 bills which would ease the effects 1 of a Supreme Court decision last

i Feb. 25 placing pro football under i the anti-tru»t laws. Wednesday, NFL Commissioner Bert Bell gave figures which showed that of the 12 NFL teams only the Chicago Cardinals have , suffered an overall net loss over the past five seasons. The Cards ' dropped 8798,524. The NFL’s richest team was the Detroit Lions who had a net !irofit after taxes of $622,055 from 952 through 1956.
