Athletics End Losing Streak For New Boss CHICAGO (UP) — Harry Craft took over the Kansas City Athletics today, encouraged by the club’s first Win in eight games, and determined to ihjeeb more speed into the team. Craft’s debut as manager, coming less than eight hours after he replaced Lou Boudreau, was a ! 3-2 success against the Chicago i White Sox. The husky 42-year-old Craft, a i Kansas City coach since 1955, took i a dim view of the A’s immediate i prospects, but he said he expected to better the club’s last - place i status before the curtain goes down on the current campaign. And he was chipper about future prospects. “We’ve got some good youngsters coming that we can look at in September. ’’ he said regarding the A’s outlook. . For the present. Craft said he has two remedies in mind. As a ' "great believer” in the hit-and--1 run strategy, he plans to emphasize that. Also his immediate ' plans call for putting veteran reliefer Virgil Trucks back into the 1 bullpen. Trucks has been used in a 1 starting role recently but Craft ; said he believes Trucks is more ■ effective in relief. . , “We’re going to try more hiti and-run moves than we have tn I the past,” he said. “Os course,” he added with a smile, “I hope it works out bet- ' ter. Usually we bogged down in that department because of a lack of speed and we wound up trying to catch the other team.” Meanwhile, Lou Boudreau, whom ; Craft replaced as manager Tuesday, said he was still mulling 1 over an offer to accept a frontoffice job calling for unspecified duties with the Athletics. ■ Little League Game Postponed To Monday The Little League game between ) the Tigers and Yankees, scheduled ; for Saturday evening, has been ; postponed until 6 o’clock Monday ) evening. It will be followed by a ) Pony League game. Friday’s L scheduled Little .League double ) hedder will match the Indians and .

All-Stars Drill For Battle With Giants CHICAGO (UP)—The College AU Stars began their last full day of drills today bet o r q Friday night’s annual meeting with the National FootbaU League champions, the New York Giants. Coach Curly Lambeau planned to continue his secret workouts for the collegians at the Northwestern training camp early today and then wiU send his squad through a night drill in Soldiers’ Field, site of the game. Probably Thursday the coUegians wiU take only light drills without pads. Lambeau has stressed offensive maneuvers for the past week and was expected to continue drills on this phase today. However, his de fepsive platoon, has been working s’iinultaneousiy t under Assistant Coach Hunk Anderson. Lambeau has given no indication of the division of his 47-player squad into offensive and defensive units and it was likely that he would iwt make public what assignments his individual players wiU get until he takes the club on the field Friday. The only position at which there seemed to be some certainty was that either John Brodie of Stanford of Paul Hornung of Notre Dame would be the starting quarterback on offense.

Braves Defeat Redlegs, Take National Lead By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer Warren Spahn ran into his "cousins” from Cincinnati just in time to' pitch the Milwaukee Braves back into first place in the National League pennant scramble. During his 13-year major league career. Spahn always has been a rough hombre for Cincinnati to deal with. So when the Redlegs showed up at Milwaukee’s County Stadium Tuesday night. Manager Fred Haney just tossed a ball to the Buffalo, N.Y., native and said, "Go get 'em, Warren." Spahn had finished only one of his last seven starts, but the sight of those Redlegs in their sleeveless shirts was all he needed. Although the veteran southpaw allowed nine hits, he hupg on gamely to gain his fourth victory of the season over the Redlegs, 5-4, and boost the Braves back into first place, a half game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Braves scored their decisive run in the sixth on a double by rookie outfielder Bob Hazlc. Cards Now Second t The Chicago Cubs dropped St. Louts into second place by whipping the Cardinals, 8-2; the Pittsburgh Pirates broke an eight-game losing streak at the expense of the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-3, and the New York Giants blanked the Brooklyn Dodge'S, 5-0, In Other National League games.
