Braves Sweep Entire Series ; From Giants 1 By MILTON RICHMAN 1 United Press International 1 You can tear up those tickets 1 for San Fran disco, but don’t worry 1 because it’ll still be a “California 1 World Series” after all — between i Los Angeles resident Fred Haney i and Casey Stengel of Glendale. Milwaukee’s back ,- on - thebeam Braves took care Os that i little item Sunday when they bolted five games ahead of the National League pack by thumpi ing the faltering Giants twice, i 4-3 and 6-0. Oh, Haney wouldn't definitely t admit - his -Braves were' "Hr~yeT , today and Bil Rigney likewise , Would not concede his Giants were licked, but whom do they think they’re kidding? Bob Trowbride and Joe Adcock polled their talents to give Milwaukee its victory in the opener. Trowbridge pitched seven innings of hitless ball in relief for his first victory. Adcock drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Hurls 43rd Shutout Southpaw Warren Spahn registered the 43rd shutout of his career and 14th win of the season when he hurled a four - hitter in the nightcap. The Pittsburgh Pirates, getting the finest pitching in both leagues, took the ’ opener from the St. Louis Cardinals, 2-0, and led by the same score in the nightcap which was suspended in the fifth inning because of Pennsylvania’s Sunday curfew law. Bob Friend pitched the third st r a i g h t shutout by a Pirate hurler to notch his 14th triumph in the opener. Rookie George Witt was working on a four - hit shutout in the nightcap which will be resumed with Pittsburgh batting in the bottom of the fifth on Sept. 16. Alex KeUn er, an American League discard, scored his fourth victory for Cincinnati by defeating Los Angeles, 3-1, in the nightcap folowing a 10-inning 8-6 triumph by" the Dodgers in the opener, Drysdale Gets Homer Loser Don Drysdale helped himself to a 1-0 lead with a third inning homer in the nightcap and held that margin until the seventh when the Redlegs scored three runs. That ended a string of nine straight wins by the Dodgers over the Redlegs this season. Pinch - hitter Elmer Vaio and Jim Gilliam singled home the two runs in the 10th that won the opener for Los Angeles. Ray Semproch scored his 13th victory in leading the Philies to an 8-2 opening game decision but the Cubs bounced back to take the nightcap, 12-10. Semproch drove in two runs as the Phils rallied for five off Taylor Phillips in the third inning of the opener and Philadelphia looked as if it was going to make a sweep by coming up with five runs in the first inning of the nightcap. The Cubs, however, cut that to 5-3 and then put together a pair of four - run rallies in the fifth and seventh to offset another five-run outburst by Philadelphia in the ninth. Sweep Yankees Over in the American League, the White Sox vaulted into third place by sweeping a twin - bill from the Yankees, 3-1 and 4-0. Even so, the Yankees stil are 1514 games ahead. Dick Donovan held m .Yanks to three" hits in NSW" WHtef Ford and posting his eighth victory in the opener. Ray Moore folowed with a five-hit shutout for his seventh victory in the finale. So flexible is the AL race that Cleveland dropped from second place to fifth by losing a doubleheader to Boston, 3-2 and 4-2. Ted Wiliams’ 18th homer with one 1 on in the ninth of Gary Bell gave the Red Sox their victory in the opener. Boston won the nightcap with a four-run rally in the eighth inning at the expense of loser Ray Narleski and Hoyt Wilhelm. Paul Foytack and Bily Hoeft pitched the Tigers to a sweep over the Orioles, 3-2 and 4-1. Each yielded eight hits and was credited with his eighth victory as Detroit stretched its winning streak to six games and Baltimore’s losirfg streak to seven games. Kansas Qity beat Washington, 12-0, in the first game, then lost the 15-inning nightcap, 4-3. Eddie Yost singled home the winning run of Murry Dickson in the finale to earn Pedro Ramos his 10th triumph. Ralph Terry tossea a five - hitter for his seventh victory in the opener.
