Cardinals Win Double Header From Braves By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place but the Milwaukee Braves know better today after it struck COUNTY Stadium three times — once literally, and twice in the form of Stan Musial and Vinegar Bend Mizell. A sharp bolt of the “real thiqg” hit the stadium during the second inning of Sunday's opener with the St. Louis Cardinals and before the day was ended Musial and Mizell struck too to produce an 8-6 and 6-0 sweep that cut the Braves’ National League lead to 6% games. Thus, the Cardinals “braked" the Milwaukee runaway and raised the possibility that there may yet be a close pennant race. The New York Yankees, meanwhile,’ seemed to be making good and raised the possibility that on their long - predicted runaway threat tn the American League when they swept the Baltimore Orioles, 7-0 and 3-2, to open up a 7%-game margin—their longest of the season. The second - place Chicago White Sox cooperated by dropping a 5-1 decision before beating the Detroit Tigers, 4-1. Redlegs Lose Sixth Straight The Chicago Cubs dealt the Cincinnati Redlegs their sixth consecutive setback, 8-2, the New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4 and 1-0, and the lastplace Pittsburgh Pirates downed the Brooklyn Dodgers, 8-6, after a 2-1 defeat in the other National League game. The Washington Senators whipped tte Boston Red Sox, 6-4, and the Cleveland Indians drubbed the Kansas City Athletics in American League single games. The Cardinals rallied for six runs in the last three innings of the 10-inning opener, Musial climaxing the comeback with a tworun homer, and then led all the way behind Mizell’s four-hitter in the nightcap. Musial had two hits in each game to regain the NL batting lead with a .333 mark and his 2,933 hits now place him 11th on the all-time list. Mizell's victory was his fifth of the year and the first since July 29. A crowd of 45,207 sat through the eight-hour and 18-minute dou-ble-header, which was held up two hours and 14 minutes by rain and ended at 10:48 p.m. e.d.t. a Bob Rush pitched an eight-hitter and Ernie Banks drove in three runs with a homer and double tp lead the Cubs to their sixth straight win. Joe Nuxhall was knocked out in 4 2-3 innings and suffered his seventh loss for Cincinnati. The Cubs have won 12 of their last 15 games, three against the Redlegs. Hank Sauer smashed two home runs to spark the Giants to their opening - game triumph and Al Worthington hurled a three - hitter to complete the sweep. Mike McCormick, bonus pitcher, received credit for his second win in the first game. Hie Phillies now have lost 14 of their last 18 games. Duke Snider's 30th homer, a two-run shot in the seventh inning, gave Sal Maglie the nod over Bob Friend, who yielded only two hits, but the Pirates scored four runs against Clem Labine in the eighth to take the nightcap. Snider also homered in the second in the second game and now has hit at least 30 homers in each of the last five seasons. Yanks* Berra Shines -Yogi Berra knocked in two runs with two singles and a double in the first game and drove in all three Yankee runs with two singles in the nightcap. Tom Sturdivant hurled a five - hitter for his 11th win and Don Larsen picked up his seventh win aided by Bob Grim’s relief. Mickey Mantle had three hits in seven tries, to lift his average to .385—seven points behind Boston’s Ted Williams, who went l-for-4 against the Senators. Dick Donovan scattered eight hits and won his sixth straight decision and 14th of the year for the White Sox after Frank Lary hurled and batted the Tigers to victory in the opener. Sherm Lollar drove in two runs with a homer and a single to lead the White Sox after Lary pitched a four - hitter and singled home the "decisive run for Detroit. Roy Sievers’ grand slam homer lifted the Senators to their triumph over Frank Sullivan and the Red Sox, with Truman Clevenger earning his sixth win for the Senators. Al Smith led Cleveland's 11 - hit attack with three hits as Cal McLish went the distance for his sixth triumph. Hal Smith had two hits for the Athletics.

Ken Venturi Wins SI. Paul Tourney ST. PAUL. Minn. (UP)-Golden boy Ken Venturi was wearing bis first profesional golf crown today. The 26-year-old former amateur star from San Francisco “beat the pros” Sunday when he copped the St. Paul Open with a record-tleing 72-hole total of 266—22 under par. Venturi, who decided to try the t>lay-for-pay tour after he defeated all. the pros but Jackie Burke in the 1956 Masters tournament, put together rounds of 66, 67, 65 and a final 68 to tie a record set by Lloyd Mangrum in 1951 and equalled by Dr. Cary Middlecoff the next year. Bob Rosburg, another San Franciscan, who led the field after his opening round 64. came back with 66 for a 268 total and second-place money in the $24,000 event. Howie Johnson of Houston, Tex., fired Sunday’s best round, an 8-under-par 64, and finished with Marty Furgol of Lemont, Hl., at 269. Mike Souchak, who won the title last year when he closed with six straight birdies, looked like he might stage another story-book finish after he birdied three of the first four hbles. But he ran into putting trouble and finished with 70. his worst round of the tourney. Souchak was tied at 270 with Peter Thomson of Melbourne, Australia, three-time winner of the British Open. Big Dave Thomas, a 22-year-old from London. England, was in the picture after the front nine Sunday when he fashioned a 5-under-par 31-the third straight day he hit the turn with that score. But he slumped to 38 on the back nine and finished at 271, tied with Bo Winninger of Odessa, Tex., and Art Wall of Pocono Manor, Pa. Venturi had a chance to set a new mark when he hit a six iron shot eight feet from the par-five. 462-yard 18th hole. But his eagle putt grazed the cup and he had to settle for a birdie and the‘record tie. “My new putting stroke did it,” the former car salesman said. “I just changed a few basic things in the stroke before the Tam O’ Shanter ‘world’ tourney and it worked perfectly.” ■.

Stan Musial Takes Over Batting Lead •. MILWAUKEE (UP) — Veteran Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals held the National League batting lead today after breaking out of a mild slump, and joined select groups of major leaguers with more than 2,930 base hits and 5,000 total bases in his brilliant career. The 36-year-old slugger got four hits in 10 tries in a double-header against the Milwaukee Braves Sunday, including his 26th hornet which won the first game. St. Louis swept both games, 8-6 and 6-0, to narrow Milwaukee’s league lead to 6% games over the second place Cardinals. Musial’s current lifetime total, of 2,933 hits moves him into 11th place ahead of Rogers Hornsby and Jacob Beckley in that department, and his 5,001 total bases puts him in a class with five other players who have reached the 5,000 mark. Musial. who seeks his seventh lead with a .333 average —two points ahead of Dick Groat of Pittsburgh and six ahead of Hank Aaron of Milwaukee, Frank Robirfson of Cincinnati and Willie Mays of New York. Musial, who was named th; “major league player of the decade” in a poll by the Sporting News of St. Louis last year, has won the National League batting crown six times and was the latest repeater when he wop it in 1950-51-52. He said he has resumed playing both games of double-headers because he has felt stronger since the weather turned cooler. He started sitting out second games in mid - season because the heat weakened him.
