Braves Score Pair Os Wins Monday Night The Decatur Braves took down both ends of a Pony League double header Monday night at Worthman field, defeating Monroe in the opener, 11-7, and blanking the Decatur Cardinals, 12-0 in the nightcap. A 10-run rally in the sixth inning won the opener from Monroe. The Braves were trailing, 5-1, after five and one-half innings, but suddenly came to life with seven hits and three walks for the 10 runs. Big blow of the frame was a home run by Ed Kohne, Braves’ pitcher. Schwartz topped Monroe with four hits in as many times at bat. Billie Conrad hurled a one-hitter in the nightcap to down the Cardinals. Only hit was a sixth-inning single by Jim Martin. The Braves, who scored in every inning except the fifth, obtained only six hits but were aided by five errors and seven bases on balls. The Braves are scheduled to play at Geneva Friday evening at 6 o’clock.

Red Sox Whip Yankees Fifth Straight Game By FRED DOWN United Press International That was the Bravea’ famed 1-2 punch that hit the Giants but even Casey Stengel can’t tell you what hit the Yankees. It was Lew Burdette Sunday and Warren Spahn Monday night as the Braves cooled off San Francisco’s “golden boys" 'with a pair of victories that suggest Milwaukee may be ready to stage its “annual” July-August pennant push. But there were just too many tormentors to count over * Stengel’s extra-long, lost week end as the Red Sox cleaned up the Yankees five straight times and bettered no less than 20 New York pitchers for a total of 50 runs. Braves % game out Spahn, following up Burdette’s 4-2 Sunday triumph with a sixhit, 3-0 victory Monday night pitched the Braves to within a half-game of the Giants. The Cincinnati Reds bashed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 13-5, in the only other game and dropped the losers into third place one game behind the Giants. The Red Sox, who staggered the Yankees with consecutive 14-3, 8-5, 84 and 7-3 drubbings in the first four games of the series in Boston, “buried” the floundering world champions with a 13-3 shellacking that dropped them two games under .500, 7% games behind the idle first-place Cleveland Indians. The Yankees hadn’t lost a five-game series to the Red Sox in 20 years and never had lost one at Fenway Park. Spahn had a worthy opponent in hard-throwing Sam Jones but Ed Mathews gave the brilliant lefty a 2-0 lead with his 27th homer of the year after Johnny O’Brien walked in the third inning. The Braves added their third run off 1 Stu Miller when Mathews walked, went to third on a double by Hank Aaron and scored on Frank ’ Torre’s sacrifice fly. 7 for 9 Under Jurges 1 The Red Sox, who have won 1 seven of nine games under new manager Billy Jurges, took a 4-2 ■ lead over the Yankees in the first inning and then humiliated them I with a nine-run sixth-inning rally. I Jackie Jesen smashed a three- ■ run homer in the first inning and Gene Stephens climaxed the sixth- , inning shindig with a grand slam 1 h°Frank Sullivan, who won the first game <Jf «tlie fddr-tDy satasi was tapped for 10 hits, including 1 Yogi Berra's homer, but went the - distance to win his sixth game of > the year against five defeats. Don - Larsen, who was invited to leave - after pitching the first inning, suffered his fourth setback compared to six wins. Frank Robinson drove in three runs with two homers, a double and a single and Gus Bell knocked in four with a homer and a single to lead the Reds’ 15-hit 1 attack on six Dodger pitchers. 1 Brooks Lawrence went the last ■ 6 2-3 innings to win his fourth 1 game and end an eight-game los- ! ing streak. Clem Labine dropped I his eighth decision against only three wins.

Halts TV Spying On Catchers' Signals NEW YORK (UPD—There’ll be no more television “spying” on baseball catchers’ signals. That was indicated today when Tom Gallery, sports director of the National Broadcasting Co., said the network was acceding to Baseball Commissioner Ford Erick’s request to halt use of a special camera lens that had been employed at the YankeesRed Sox game in Boston last Sunday. The special 80 - inch lens, used in a camera posted in center field, brought in a picture so clear that the nation’s television viewers could plainly see the finger signals used by the rival catchers in calling for certain pitches. Frick said Monday that he doubted the television picture would be used by any team to “steal” signals from another. But he asked Gallery to stop using the lens anyway. “This was the first time I’d seen this unusual camera shot,” said Frick, “and my immediate reaction was, ‘Oh, oh, I don’t think this is such a good idea.’ ” Frick said he will write to all major league clubs asking them to avoid television camera shots which clearly Expose a team’s signals. 11,316. The annual All - Star game is expected to continue, according to American Association directors. “As long as the game continues to be the finanial success it has been in recent years, the directors are in favor of it,” said Jim Burris of the league office. ! The directors did not discuss I the 1960 scheduling and starting : dates although President Ed Dor herty and some of the directors met in Minneapolis.
