Milwaukee's Aaron Beats San Francisco By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Hank Aaron, still swinging the bat that made Milwaukee famous, had the Giants crying in their beer today and the Braves whetting their appetite again for some more of that tasty World Series champagne. Aaron hit his homer off Al the two-run homer that clinched Milwaukee's first National League pennant last Sept. 23. And Sunday he came up with another two-run homer, his 28th, in the 10th inning against San Francisco that beat the secondplace Giants, 8-5, and sent them tumbling seven games behind the Braves. Aaron’s wallop gave Milwaukee the jump the opener of a fivegame series against the Giants and even cautious Fred Haney conceded, “It was a big one to win.’’ Aaron his his homer off Al Worthington following Eddie Mathews' single. That broke a 5-5 tie and the Braves added another run in the 10th on Joe Adcock’s double and Johnny Logan’s single.

Dodgers, Pittsburgh won the opener of a doubleheader, 8-4, and St. Louis gained a split by taking the nightcap, 12-8. The Phillies swept a doubleheader from the Cubs, 13-8 and 5-3, with the second game limited to eight innings because of darkness. The Yankees stretched their lead to 12 games in the American League even though they split a doubleheader with the Tigers. Frank Lary beat the Yankees for the sixth time this season in the , opener, 8-3, but the league-leaders won the nightcap, 3-2, on Norm Siebern’s ninth-pining homer. Boston swept a twin-bill from Kansas , City, winning the opener, 14-3, and the 11-inning finale, 3-2; Baltimore defeated Chicago, 5-2, and Cleveland walloped Washington, 9-1. 1 Robinson’s game-winning homer against the Dodgers was his 26th ‘ of the year and came off ex-team-mate Johnny Klippstein. Musial Starts Rally Bob Friend gained his 17th vic(tory for the Pirates in their opener with the Cards although he needed help from Roy Face in the eighth. In the nightcap, Stan Musial’s pinch single started a fiverun rally in the eighth inning that brought reliever Jim Brosnan his ninth victory. Ed Bouchee and Wally Post led the Phils to their sweep over the Cubs. Bouchee hit a grand-slam homer in the opener and a basesempty homer in the second game while Post tripled in the opener and doubled in the nightcap to drive in a total of five runs. Lary's victory over the Yankees in the opener made him the first pitcher to defeat them six times in a single season since Dizzy Trout and Hal Newhouser of Detroit both accomplished the feat in 1944. One of the six hits given up by Lary was a ninth-inning homer by Slebern, whose second homer of the day in the ninth inning of the second game broke a 2-2 tie.

Just How Big Will Big Four Grow On Coast? SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—The big question in college athletic circus today was just how big does the newly formed Athletic Association of Western Universities intend to get? The new “Big Four” conference composed of Washington, California, UCLA and USC, was launched here Saturday at a meeting of j representatives of the four universities. It will officially come into being July 1, 1959—a day after the old Pacific Coast Conference gives up the ghost. Provision was made in articles governing the new loop for inclusion of more western colleges. However, with the exception of Stanford, none have been approached. Dr. Glenn Seaborg, chancellor of the University of California, said Stanford had approved the wording of the AAWU pact but had not decided to become a member “at this time.” “We are very hopeful Stanford will join us in the very near future,” he said. Seaborg said any western college “which meets our requirefor admission and will be accepted providing all members agree.” . Today's Sport Parade (Keg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD-Bill Norman implored today: “Give us the long ball! Just give us the long ball!” His entreaty was inspired by little more than 10 weeks as manager of the Detroit Tigers and by Norm Siebern’s heartbreaking home run in the nightcap of Sunday’s doubleheader with the Yankees. “Yes, indeed,” Norman said, “my big discovery as a major league manager is that the long ball is more important up here than in the minors.” Siebern’s ninth - inning blast into the lower rightfietd seats gave the Yanks a 3-2 victory over the Tigers and nullified the tight pitching of Herb Moford, who had allowed but three previous hits—all in the first inning. No Stop-Gap Pilot “We haven’t been the long ball,” said Norman, who replaced Jack Tighe at the Bengal bit on June 10 and was signed last Saturday to manage the club next season — proving general manager John McHale and the i Detroit club owners did not regard him as a stop-gap driver. ■ In Sunday's opener, the Tigers ! downed Casey Stengel’s outfit, 8-3. with a 12 - hit attack. “But." moaned Norman, “only one of those 12 hits was for an extra base — (Charlie) Maxwell’s homer.” On the current trip, the Tigers lost eight games and won five “And long balls cost us half of ' those eight,” Norman continued. “We’ve got men capable of the long ball; but Maxwell’s been having an off year. He’s usually good for 25 homers. Now he’s got 10. And (AD Kaline is coming out [of a slump apparently.” Club Improving Norman. 42, admitted he was disappointed by the Tigers’ lack of power on this trip, as they headed for Boston today. But he stressed he wasn’t the least disheartened “because the players’ morale is fine — everybody's hustling.” Norman added somewhat proudly that during his brief debut as a major league manager the club has been 'playing better than .500 ball and had risen from last place to just a half-game out of the first division. “We’ve won 37 and lost 34 since I took over,” he said, “and our pitching has been off during that time, as well as our long-ball hitting.” Baseball writers with the club expect several winter deals in which young pitching talent from the Tiger farms will be traded for belters.
