WCATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

Braves Regain , Five-Game Lead 5 Jn Seniors Loop By FRED DOWN United Press International t The junior varsity held the fort . for the Milwaukee Braves the last . month — and now it looks like the varsity is ready to take ’em ■ the rest of the way. < t The Braves wouldn’t be where ' they are now except for. the kids r like Joey Jay, Carlton Willey, . Juan Pizarro and Felix Mantilla i who kept the club right-side-up during July. But it’s the battle- . tested guys like Lew Burdette, Ed > Mathews, Del Crandall and Red r Schoendienst who can lock up the ■ race — and they all seem ready i for the run to the wire. - They made it look easy Tuesr day night when the Braves re- . stored their National League lead - to five games with a 6-1 triumph ’ that ended the Pittsburgh Pirates’ ? four-game winning streak. The t Braves made only five hits but ; two of them were homers that f produced five runs and Burdette 1 pitched a steady 10-hitter to gain his 11th victory. Burdette*... criticized frequently, this season, actually is ahead of his 1957 pace. His current 11-8 record tops his 9-7 mark of a year ago and a fast 8-2 finish like he had last season could be the clincher. In Clusters Os Three Schoendienst, only recently back in action, knocked in the Braves’ first run Tuesday night with a single in the third inning and then Mathews followed with his 22nd homer for a 3-0 lead. The Braves added the clinching cluster of three in the sixth when Johnny Logan and Frank Torre singled and Crandall crashed his 13th homer. The Chicago Cubs dealt the i staggering San Francisco Giants another blow with a 10-inning 10-9 decision achieved when Ernie Banks singled home John Goryl. It was the fourth hit of the game for Banks, who drove in three runs with three singles and his 31st homer. Wally Moon knocked in three runs on four hits to spark a 21hit St. Louis Cardinal attack' that i crushed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 13-3. Billy Muffett pitched a sev-en-hitter „ for the Cardinals who achieved their largest run and hit totals of the Redleg Rally Wins Frank Robinson’s two-run ninthinning double capped a three-rUn rally that lifted the Cincinnati Redlegs to a 6-5 decision over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Redlegs. trailing, 5-1, drew to within two runs of the Phillies on Jerry Lynch’s two-run homer in the eighth, and a single by George Crowe with two on added a ninthinning run and set the stage for Robinson’s winning blow. The New York Yankees maintained their 16-game lead in the American League when they defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 4-1. The Boston Red Sox downed the Washington Senators, 7-1, the Cleveland Indians whipped the De- ' troit Tigers, 6-1, and the Chicago White Sox shaded the Kansas City Athletics, 5-4. Bob Turley pitched a seven-hit-ter and struck out eight to notch j his 17th victory against four losses as the Yankees extended the Orioles’ losing streak to nine games. Mickey Mantle blasted a threerun homer, No. 30, to lead the , Yankee attack. Firjit For Rookie Rookie Bill Monbouquette tossed 1 a seven-hitter for his first major league victory for the Red Sox who backed him with a 12-blow assault that included homers bj : Ted Williams and Jimmy Piersail. Mickey Vernon’s two-run homes 1 sparked a five-run third-inning uprising that enabled Cleveland's Cal McLish to increase his record to 11-6. An error by Preston Ward and key hits by Ray Boone and Al I Smith helped the White Sox score five unearned runs in the third inning. The Athletics rallied for three runs in the fifth but Turk • Lown went in to shut them out lover the last 4 1-3 innings and win his second game.

Dodgers Outdraw Milwaukee Braves 'MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPD—AII thje last place Los Angeles Dodgers may get out of this year’s National League pennant race is a bratwurst—and of course attendance money. When Walter O’Malley moved his Bums from the traditionseeped Flatbush precinct to the spacious Los Angeles Coliseum, there were those who forecast that Southern California crowds Would eclipse the Milwaukee Braves’ league attendance record of 2,215,404 set last season. Milwaukee owner Lou Perini scoffed at such talk. “I’ll bet a bratwurst we outdraw the Dodgers,” he said. With the season two thirds over, it looks like Perini will be masticating his remark while O’Malley dines on the crinkly, brown, oversize frankfurter which the sausage makers say made Milwaukee famous long before the advent of beer barons. Even Bill Eberly, who runs Perini’s box office, admits the Braves won’t achieve their 1957 attendance this year. “We’d have to average 39,000 a date for the rest of the season and that’s impossible.” In fact, the Braves will be hardpressed to - even reach" Two million, a mark which they have surpassed each of the past four years. As of today, the Braves’ home attendance was 1,376,868. The Dodgers had drawn but 1,334,320. However, the Braves have played to 51 home dates while Los Angeles has made but 47 home appearances. Milwaukee was averaging 27,026 each time the box office opened at County Stadium. The Dodgers average was 28,389 per home date—l,363 more than the Braves.

Predicted Showers ■ Fail To Materialize No Rain Expected Except Far North United Press International Rainsoaked Hoosiers, still damp from the wettest summer in re--1 corded history, had good news from the weatherman today that a full week without showers is likely in most areas. Showers and thunderstorms predicted for late Tuesday, Tuesday night and today failed to materialize, and rain predictions were called off at least until Saturday in all areas except the extreme north portion. A “few scattered thundershowers in afternoon or evening today and Thursday” were on tap for the far north, the area where the least rain has fallen during the two-month Indiana siege. The five-day outlook for Indiana for the period through next Monday indicated no rain would fall except in the north portion until Saturday. “Precipitation will average .25 to .75 of an inch, locally more, as scattered thundershowers north portion Thursday and Friday, and over most of area Saturday,” the outlook said. Meanwhile, temperatures remained warm .and humid, but certainly no higher and muggier than Hoosiers should expect for this time of year. Highs Tuesday ranged from 85 at Indianapolis to 90 at Evansville, lows this morning from 67 at Evansville to 73 at South Bend. Today’s highs will range from the high 80s to 90, tonight’s lows war 70, and Thursday’s highs similar to today’s. Continued warm and humid was scheduled for Friday with fair skies in the central and south portions today, Thursday and Friday. Temperatures the next five days vill average near normal in the north and 2 to 4 degrees above normal in the south. Normal maxmums are 82 to 86 north, 86 to 89 south. Normal minimums are Ji to 65 north, 63 to 68 south. “Not much change in temperaures until cooler over the week2nd,” the outlook said.

Today's Sport Parade Reg. U.S. Pat. Off By JACK CUDDY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Ernie Banks, whose baseball career was threatened by a mysterious arm ailment little more than a year ago, is swinging the most explosive bat in the majors today. As the key man in the Chicago Cute’ spectacular rise from cellar to first division, his 1958 achievements are bidding to make him: —The first shortstop in history to lead the National League in home runs. —The national League’s most valuable player. —Runs-batted-in champion of the N.L. circuit. The slim, 27-year-old native of Dallas, Tex., got four hits Tuesday, including his 31st home run and the 10th inning single that gave the Cubs a 10-9 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Coached By Hornsby Coach Rogers Hornsby must have got a real bang out of Ernie’s performance; for it was the Rajah—generally rated the greatest of all right-handed bat-J-rsArtvM gave right-handed Erdie many useful pointers and much encouragement this spring. Tuesday’s performance emphasized how Banks is fuelling the upward surge of a Chicago club that “hasn’t finished in The ' first “division since 1946. As a shortstop Ernie is consid-

ered a better-than-average fielder; but as a 1958 slugger his figures could make a Ted Williams or a Mickey Mantle proud. He’s batting .310 and leads the league with 31 homers and with 90 runs-batted-in. Banks, who left Dallas’ soft-ball lots six years ago to take his chances in big league baseball, could hardly throw from shortstop to first base in the spring of 1957 because of a mysterious ailment in his right arm. It appeared his career might be finished, after four good seasons. “Better Than May” But Ernie kept plugging away gamely and the ailment disappeared. He finished the ’57 season with 43 homers, 102 runs battedin and a .285 average. “They yak about Willie Mays all the time,” growled the Rajah. “But I think this guy Banks is a better hitter than Willie and that he’ll prove it this year.” Ernie is backing Hornsby’s sumup by belting for laurels. He’s trying to do in the National League what only Vern Stephens of the 1943 St. Louis Browns din in the American circuit, where he was the only shortstop ever to lead in home runs. In the runs-batte<Mti department, no shortstop has led the National League since Hon u s Wagner back in 1907-1908-1909.
