Avilla Homers To End Braves Losing Streak By FRED DOWN United Press International One swing of Bobby Avila’s bat and Fred Haney can feel the Milwaukee Braves' second - base woes are behind them. Acquired from the Boston Red Sox only 24 hours earlier, the exAmerican League batting champion pulled the Braves out of their sevgn-game losing streak Wednesday night with a two-run ninth-inning homer that produced a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The win, the Braves first since July 13, moved them back into third place and also presented Warren Spahn with his 12th victory of the season and the 258th of his career. Spahn went all the way, yielding nine hits and contributing a homer to Milwaukee’s seven-hit attack. The San Francisco Giants, meanwhile, increased their NL lead to 1% games with a 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals while the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers bowed to the Chicago Cubs, 7-2. The Philadelphia Phillies crushed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-4, in the other game. Sox Regain Lead The Chicago White Sox took over first place in the American League by one game when they shaded the Boston Red Sox, 5-4, and the New York Yankees downed the Cleveland Indians, 8-5. The Detroit Tigers beat the Washington Senators, 6-2, and the Kansas City “A" downed the Baltimore Orioles, 6-3. Mike McCormick pitched a sixhitter for the Giants, who snapped a three-game losing streak with a nine-hit attack that included a run-scoring single and a homer by Willie Kirkland. Earl Averill's grand slam homer was the big blow as the Cubs routed Danny McDevitt with seven runs in the second inning. Bob Anderson turned in his sixth victory, his third over the Dodgers. Philley Pounds Pirates Dave Philley drove in three runs and ,Ed Bouchee, Harry Anderson and txmnett knocked in two each to lead the Phillies’ 19-hit attack'onr Ron Kline and three successors. The White Sox scored their 21st one-run win of the year when Sherman Dollar’s ninth-inning skigle scored Nelson Fox with the decisive run. The Yankees rallied from a four-run deficit to deal fireballer Herb Score his eighth defeat and give Duke Maas his eighth win. Frank Lary won his 11th game for Detroit with the help of Ray Narleski’s late-inning relief job. Frank Bolling hit his seventh homer and Lary his first for the Tigers who moved past Washington into fifth place. Ray Herbert pitched a six-hit-ter for his fifth straight win and ninth of the year for Kansas City. Roger Maris had two tuts and Dick Williams homered for the Athletics.

They got by the first hurdle when they defeated Mexico, 4-1, in Mexo City Monday.

| Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Don Newcombe, the big guy who couldn’t win the “big ones,” is making such a comeback today that he seems r almost a cinch to be picked for action in the second All-Star game at Los Angeles on Aug. 3. There was a suspicion when he was traded away by the Dodgers last year that he was finished. He had a pulled shoulder muscle and his record when the Brooks cut him loose was zero wins against 1 six losses. But the six foot, four inch 2451 pounder is a sassy 10-5 today—and more important has come on 1 to win nine of his last 10 games. ; As late as this spring there ’ was basis for the contention that ! he might be washed up. Rival teams insisted that his fast ball was gone in exhibition contests ’ and nobody listened when Newcombe insisted his stomach was upset and he felt weak. Accused of Crying “Wolf’’ That’s because the hulking man long has been accused of being a hypochondriac and he had cried “wolf” once too often. Yet, once the season started, he indicated in his first start that he might still have the stuf which carried still have the stuff which carried gave him 27 wins and most valuable player honors in 1956. For in his first start even though he lost he tossed a fine four-hitter. His next two starts were disastrous and Los Angeles must have figured it did right in peddling him away. But since May 5, big Newk has been dynamite. He won nine in a row and then was halted by the Cardinals only/

by one run in an 11-inning affair. Now, in his latest start, he dusted off the defending champion Braves for his 10th win. That 10-5 record is much more impressive than it looks at first glance. Seven of those victories have come against the three ’ tough clubs—the Dodgers, Giants and Braves. Hei has gonjr the distance in 13 of his 15 starts. He 1 has yielded only 17 bases on balls 1 while posting 58 strikeouts. Batting Lofty .324 On top of which, Newcombe is : batting .324 and has knocked in : 16 runs. Big Newk always has been a ■ good hitter. Even back in the '■ days when he broke in with the Dodgers’ Nashua, N. H., farm club. Because earlier, when he signed with the Newark club of the old Negro League, the manager took one look at the tower- ' ing teen-ager and told him: “Son, you’re big enough all I right. Just learn how to swing I that bat, too, and it’ll win some 1 games for you.” Newcombe’s pitching long has I been complicated by a reputation, just or not, that he couldn’t win the “big ones.” This was 1 pinned on him in perpetuity when the Yankees knocked his brains out four times in World Series play. It was compounded by an inclination to brood over these failures and a manner which creates an impression of surliness. Then there was his constant catering to the slightest twinge in his arm, understandable possibly in view of the fact that it is his living. But a lot of them thought he was through last year when the Dodgers traded him away—and Los Angeles may be a bit unhappy about it now, particularly if he walks out in their park next month as one of the All-Stars.

Eddie Machen Wins On Technical KO PORTLAND, Ore. (UPD — Eddie Machen, who said he would do his talking in the ring, hoped today that he was eloquent enough against Rtleben Vargas to earn a shot at the heavyweight championship. “I’m ready to take on Ingemar Johansson in his own back yard,” Machen eaid after blasting Vargas in 1:55 of the sixth round for a technical knockout at the Oregon Centennial Exposition grounds Wednesday night. Vargas. 195, was sent to his knees for an eight count in that round, but he arose and was plastered against the ropes at Machen’s mercy. The referee, Ralph Gruman, stopped the fight at that point. Vargas blamed the TKO on the lack of a mouthpiece. He said that in the excitement between the fifth and sixth rounds his seconds forgot to put his mouthpiece back in. He was stunned by a series of left and right hooks by Machen. “But I don’t want to blame it on any one thing because I got beat,” Vargas said. He said he was “shook up real hard” in the sixth before he went to the canvas. The two heavyweights fought a, close battle through five rounds with Machen, 197, Portland, Ore., scoring more blows but with the Mexican on the aggressive. Vargas plodded forward through most of the bout, stopped only by Machen’s occasional outbursts of fury. It was the 28th pro bout for the fifth-ranked Machen and his 26th win. He had a draw with Zora Folley in 1958 and was knocked out in the first round by Johansson in Sweden last September. Over 2,500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in De‘~ntur each day.
