Smooth Sailing for Brooklyn in 9-5 Comeback Win Over Cubs

BROOKLYN For a team that appeared to be taking on water just a few days ago, the Dodgers suddenly are looking quite seaworthy. Reliever Clyde King earned his second win in two games and the Dodgers won their fourth game in a row coming from behind in each instance with a 9-5 victory Tuesday over the Cubs. It was just last week that Brooklyn lost three straight to the lowly Reds and Pirates, falling into a virtual tie for first place and igniting a war of words between team management and Dodger pitchers. But the Brooks recovered to sweep St. Louis over the weekend. Tuesdays win came in the first game of a 13-game road trip. Combined with a New York loss in Pittsburgh, it gave them a one-game lead in the National League. It began, naturally, with the Dodgers falling behind. Hank Sauers 23rd home run, leading off the bottom of the second, gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead. The Dodgers answered quickly with four runs in the third. After five innings the game was tied 5-5. Both starters, Brooklyns Ralph Branca, returning from an 11-game absence due to arm soreness, and Chicagos Paul Minner, had been chased. Brooklyn took control in the later innings. Roy Campanella, who had four hits, singled home the tie-breaking run in the sixth. Pee Wee Reese had a two-run single in the seventh, and Jackie Robinson launched a solo homer in the eighth. King (10-5) hurled 2 1/3 scoreless innings for the win. Monk Dubiel (1-1) took the loss. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the National League: Despite allowing six runs, 12 hits and serving up two home runs, Paul LaPalme notched his first career win as the Pirates edged the visiting Giants, 7-6. LaPalme (1-2) allowed two-run homers in the first and ninth innings. In between, the knuckleballer held New York to one run on six hits. Loser Sal Maglie (11-8) was sabotaged by shoddy defense. The Giants made four errors one by each member of the infield resulting in five unearned runs. All-Star Russ Meyer threw his first complete game since June 4 as the Phillies walloped the host Cardinals, 12-4. Tommy Brown, Del Ennis and Andy Seminick all homered for Philadelphia. Loser Harry Brecheen (7-3) allowed six runs on a seasonhigh 10 hits in four innings. Bob Elliott poled a three-run round-tripper as the visiting Braves handed the Reds their fifth consecutive loss, 6-5. Warren Spahn (7-6) got the win. Herm Wehmeier (6-4) lost for the first time since May

Nine is Fine For Boston, Kiely in Win Over White Sox

BOSTON Leo Kiely probably wonders what all the fuss is about. Bostons rookie southpaw scattered 11 hits Tuesday to improve to 3-0 and pitch the leagueleading Red Sox to their ninth consecutive victory, 9-5 over the second place White Sox. The win streak is tied for longest in the majors this season. Winning isnt always this easy in the big leagues, but Kiely doesnt know that. Since his first start (he got no decision in a 12-inning loss to Washington on July 2), he has been unbeatable and the Red Sox have gone 16-5. The White Sox drew first blood, taking a 2-0 lead on Jim Busbys home run in the first inning. By the time the Red Sox finished scoring in each of the first four innings Ted Williams had a solo four-bagger and an RBI triple they led 7-4. Dom DiMaggio scored three runs and knocked in three, and Johnny Pesky had two hits and two RBI. Add Williams heroics and Bostons 1-2-3 hitters combined for six hits, scored four runs and had seven RBI. Kiely whiffed five in his second complete game. White Sox starter Howie Judson (6-5) allowed seven runs in 3 1/3 innings. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the American League: Vic Raschi became the majors first 12-game winner and Joe DiMaggio celebrated his return to the lineup with two doubles and two RBI as the Yankees edged the visiting Indians, 5-4. Raschi (12-3) scattered nine hits in his seventh complete game. Since May 12, he is 11-1. DiMaggio, out with a leg ailment since July 9, doubled and scored a run in the fourth to draw the Yanks to within 3-1. His two-run double in the fifth put them up, 4-3. The Tribe tied it in the top of the eighth. But in the bottom half, Raschi, a .280 hitter coming into the game, singled home the tie-breaking run off loser Lou Brissie (2-7). Clyde Kluttzs double scored Cass Michaels with the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning as the Senators beat the skidding Tigers, 3-2. Reliever Tom Ferrick (1-1) got the win. Dizzy Trout (9-7) took the loss for Detroit, which has lost five in a row. Kluttz finished with three hits for the Nats.

Cards Saigh Bugged By Veeck Challenge

ST. LOUIS (AP) Bill Veeck has touched off baseball fireworks in St. Louis and the noise and smoke may last for a long time. Owner Fred Saigh of the Cardinals feels that one of Veecks biggest firecrackers was tossed in his direction. And he doesnt like it. Unlike the flamboyant showman-owner of the Browns, Saigh is a quiet and studious man who offers baseball without the frills. But Saighs calm demeanor was ruffled last weekend when Veeck challenged the Cardinals to a postseason city series, with the proceeds to go to the community chest. Since it now appears that neither St. Louis team is going to be engaged in the World Series this fall, Veeck wrote, it would seem that here is an opportunity for us to take part in this most important drive. Saigh doesnt like the way Veeck and his last place Browns counted the Redbirds out of the National League race. Ed Cereghino, the New York Yankees $50,000 bonus pitcher, struck out six as he pitched the San Francisco Seals to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The 17-year-old Cereghino is 2-1 since he started his professional baseball career.

The Dugout Chatter That Fans Never Hear

By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK They say in the dugouts: Pittsburgh was the only club to put in a claim when the Giants asked waivers on Eddie Stanky recently Brooklyn manager Chuck Dressen keeps an eye chart hanging in his private office but he wont disclose the reason Billy Herman, who quit as manager of the Richmond Colts 11 days ago, is in line for a major league coaching job in 1952 Steve ONeill of the Red Sox is casting covetous glances in the direction of outfielder Jim Delsing of the Browns Preacher Roe has been whacked for 13 enemy home runs so far this season, yet rival batters insist he never grooves a pitch Cardinal manager Marty Marion claims he rarely was bothered by the sun in his eyes while playing shortstop because he wore his cap exceptionally low over his brows Don (Footsie) Lenhardt, the White Sox new fence-buster, worked on a construction gang in Illinois last winter to toughen me up. Washington catcher Clyde Kluttz is praised by more players as a finer batting teacher than many of the games far more publicized stars...
