lew Burdette Scores 10th Win Tuesday By MILTON RICHMAN United Preu International Just when everyone begins thinking the Braves have hit the skids, up pops Lew Burdette — and that’s all, brother! No questions but that Milwaukee had been floudering lately. The Braves had been, shut out in their last two games, had lost five erf their last seven and had watched their National League lead shrink to only one game. But Burdette took care of all that Tuesday night when he notched his 10th victory of the season and increased the Braves’ lead to two games with a 5-4 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Crandall Hits Key Blow Del Crandall's two-run double was the key blow in a four-run seventh inning rally that put Milwaukee in front, 5-0. The Dodgers got to Burdette for two runs in the eighth and then caused his removal when they put two men on base in the ninth. Charley Neal’s single with the bases loaded off reliever Bon McMahon gave the Dodgers itheir final two runs. Johnny Podres was "the loser. Cincinnati nipped second-place San Francisco,/ 3-1; St. Louis swept a twi-night twin bill from Philadelphia, 8-1 and 5-2, and Pittsburgh beat Chicago, 5-2, in other, Natidhal League games. In the American League, Cleveland moved a full game out in front with a 4-1 victory over Boston, and New York defeated Chicago, 5-1. Rain washed out the Detroit - Baltimore and Kansas City-Washington games. Big Don Newcombe of the Reds beat the Giants for the fourth time this season when he limited, them to six hits in gaining his seventh win. Mike McCormick, the loser, had a 1-0 lead until the eighth when a home run by Vada Pinson, a single by l -Frank Robinson and a double by Frank Thomas gave Cincinnati its two runs, Mizell Posts Bth Win Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell posted his eighth victory against three losses in the Cards’ opening game triumph over the Phils. Bookie Ernie Broglio won his first major league game in the nightcap although requiring Lindy McDaniel's aid, tn fa* -aiohth Gino Cimoli, who had three in the opener, belted a two-run homer in the nightcap.

Aaron, the Milwaukee Braves’ slugging star who has been over that mark virtually all season, slipped down to .398 Tuesday night when he collected only one hit in five times at bat against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The last major-leaguer to hit .400 for a season was Ted Williams of the Red Sox in 1941. / Adkins, Rodriquez On TV Bout Tonight MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UPI) .— Former titleholder Virgil Akins—a one-punch fighter hoping to end a slump—faces up-and-coming Cuban welterweight Luis Manuel Rodriguez otnight in a nationally televised 10-round event. Akins, who has lost three of his last four fights, ranked as a 7-5 favorite with the pre-bout odds about 4-1 that the fight won’t go the distance; drove iff two runs during the rally that broke a 1-1 tie. Friend was credited with his third victory although Elroy Face made his 25th appearance of the season in the ninth. Cal McLish pitched the Indians to their seventh victory in a row while limiting the Red Sox to six hits. McLish struck out six and walked only two as he posted his sixth victory against three defeats. Art Ditmar, the Yankees’ steadiest pitcher of late, stopped the White Sox on four hits in outpitching southpaw Billy Pierce. Ditmar aad Pierce were tied at 1-1 unfit the sixth when the Yanks scored two runs on Mickey ManI tie’s triple—it should have only been a double but Mantle kept j right on running—a hit batsman, Hector Lopez’ ground-rule double and Bobby Richardson’s sacrifice fly-

Parry O'Brien Sets World Shot Record POMONA, Calif. (UPD-Parry O’Brien added a new world shot put record to his list of track accomplishments today in one of the most unique "meeto” in history. Officials of the Southern Pacific Arhateur Athletic Union said O’Brien’s put of 63 feet, 8 inches —six inches better than his recognized mark—would be submitted as a national record. Only 65 persons were on hand for the special meet, but It was enough of a crowd to “inspire” one of the most dedicated performers in track annals. “Being a'ham at heart,” said Parry after the meet, “I don’t think I could have* set! the record without them.” p The meet consisted of two events—the shot put and discus—and there were only four entries in the competition. But Alex Petrie and Tim Owens, records chairmen for the Southern Pacific district of the AAU, said everything was in order and O’Brien’s tremendous heave met all requirements for< a record. Absent from the meet was Parry’s No. 1 rival, teenager Dallas Long of Phoenix, Ariz., and the University of Southern California striders. Long earlier this year pushed the 16-pound ball 63 feet, 2 inches to equal the standing record. Later, he hit 63 feet 7 inches. But the latter performance was not recognized because Long achieved it on his seventh attempt instead of within the six prescribed by international regulations. -— MAJOR NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

Red Sox, Yanks Undefeated In Little League The Red Sox and Yankees remained undefeated in Decatur Little League play Tuesday night at Worthman field, but both were hard pressed to keep their records clean. The Red Sox edged the White Sox in the opener, while the Yankees came from behind in the nightcap to nip the Indians, 6-4. The Red Sox built up a 5-1 lead after four innings of the twin bill opener but the White Sox nearly pulled the game out erf the fire, scoring two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth before being retired in the final inning with the bases loaded. The Yankees and Indians were tied at 1-1 after two innings, but the Indians took the lead with three in the third on four hits. But the Yankees came right back with four in the bottom of the inning on four hits, a walk and an error. The Yankees added an insurance run in the fourth on a walk and two hits. Another double header will be played Friday night, with the White Sox playing the Indians at 6:30 o’clock, followed by the Senators and Tigers. League Standing W L Pct.

Junior Legion Team Defeated At Huntington Decatur’s Junior American Legion baseball season opened on a sour note at Huntington Tuesday evening as Huntington dropped the local nine with a five-run outburst in the second, scoring a 5-1 victory. Four errors by Decatur helped the Huntington team pile up the neat cushion. Tom Grabill hurled his first game in two years and absorbed the defeat although limiting the Vikings to six hits, four of which, however, came in the disastrous second. Winterhalter opened the inning with a line double, advancing on Dillon’s smash to left. Overly scored both runners with a single to center. Two errors, a hit batsman; two more errors, and a single accounted for three more runs before Grabill retired the side with the bases loaded. Fahrnow, the Huntington pitcher, ’‘allowed only two hits, striking out 14 Decatur batsmen. Walters singled in the fifth and scored on Grabill’s double to tally the only Decatur run.
