! Giants Blank Cubs To Take League Lead By FRED DOWN United Frees Sports Writer The San Francisco Giants can’t match those huge Los Angeles crowds but they're in a position today to repeat one of baseball's most famous questions: "Are the Dodgers still in the league?" Bill Rigney's astonishing mixture of untried rookies and creaky veterans soared into first place in the National League Friday night when they beat the Chicago Cubs, 2-0, behind Ramon Monzants fourhit pitching. The Dodgers, meanwhile, escaped falling into the cellar when they beat'the St. Louis Cardinals. 5-3, before a crowd of 60.635 that set a league night game record. < ? San Francisco Manager Bill Rigney is unlikely to repeat Bill Terry’s famous question of some 20 years ago — and how it came back to haunt him! — but he has a right to tell the experts they were all wrong again. For these same Giants who lead the league today were chosen almost unanimously to finish in the second division and were picked last in some quarters. Night Os Surprises It was a night of surprises all around as the Baltimore Orioles scored two runs in the ninth to beat the New York Yankees. 2-1, the Cleveland Indians made it three out of four against the Detroit Tigers with a 12-2 triumph and Bob Rush, 7-24 lifetime against the Philadelphia Phillies, bested Robin Roberts to give the Milwaukee Braves a 4-0 decision. The 'Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics, 65, in 12 innings toend a five game losing streak, the Washington Senators defeated the Boston Red Sox, 20, and the Pittsburgh Pirates scored a 43 victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs in other major league activity. Monzant, a 25 year old native of Venezuela, who had a lifetime 5-8 record in the majors before this season, struck out seven and did not walk a batter in posting his second win. The Giants scored their first run off Jim Brosnan when Bob Schmidt tripled and Monzant singled in the third in ning and added their other run on singles by Willie Mays and Hank Sauer and a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Musial Gets Four t The huge crowd at Los Angeles sattf Stan Musial smash four straight hits to raise his batting average to .553 but that great performance was not enough to prevent he Cardinals from dropping their seventh decision in nine games. Fred Kipp, aided by Ed Roe bu c k's late-inning relief! picked up the win as rookie Norm Larker showed the way with a two-run triple and a key single. The crowd surpassed the previous league mark of 51,780 for a night game, set May 27, 1947, in a Dodger-Giant game at New York, and gave Los Angeles 301,865 total attendance for seven games this season Pinch-hitter Gene Woodling doubled home two runs in the ninth inning to hand his ex-Yankee teammates their second straight defeat. An error by Gil McDougald paved the way for the rally, after Whitey Ford pitched fourhit ball for eight innings. Connie Johnson stopped the Yankees on five hits for his first victory of the year. The Indians, one of the American League’s surprise teams, got six-hit ’pitching from Ray Narleski and supported it with 13 blows, including a grand slam homer by Mickey Vernon off Jim Bunning. Roger Maris, Billy Harrell, Minnie Minoso, Chico Carrasquel and Russ Nixon all had two hits for the Indians, who have won three straight games. __j.. Wins First Start Rush, making his first start for the Braves against his long-time "jinx” opponent, flipped a threehitter to make ft a happy 60th birthday celebration for Milwaukee Manager Fred Haney. Joe Adcock's second homer of the year was the big blow for the Braves who dealt Robin Roberts his first loss. Luis Aparicio's 12th-inning single drove in the winning run for the White Sox after they rallied for three runs in the ninth to produce a 5-5 tie. Jim Rivera, who tied the score with a two-run sin gle in the ninth, started the winning rally with a single. Pedro Ramos beat the Red Sox for the 13th time in his four-year career, striking out seven and walking four. The Senators scored both their runs in the fifth inning on a double by Eddie Yost, a single by Albie Pearson and a double by Norm Zauchin. Roberto Clemente's ttatse-run homer in the seventh toning and Elroy Face’s clutch relief pitching in the eighth enabled the Pirates to win two straight games for the first time this season. Vernon Law, who hasn't lost to the Redlegs since 1956, received credit for the win and Harvey Haddix was charged with the defeat - - The first session of the U. S. Supreme Court was held in 1790 with Chief Justice Jay presiding. -

Thursday while sacking feed in a boxcar on the Erie railroad. The arrest’s were made Friday at 12:30 by the police department Both are charged with trespassing. The case was taken under advisement until Monday morning. J. E. Zinsmeister, of Huntington, railroad detective, helped in the apprehension of the two men. ’ Dusting” or "sweeping” of railroad cars containing grain or feed is a serious offense, and is a form of stealing, the detective explained.
