N S In the eighth last night he came | to bat again in the wild game (By Associated Press) Oakland’s pitching is beginning to look a little frayed at the edges, but as long as the hitters continue to pound the ball, boss Charlie Dres- sen can manage a smile. His club was five games ahead of the pack today, even though it was all out last night to beat San Francisco, 10-8. San Diego, getting hotter on the! trail in recent weeks, finally slip- ped a cog after beating Portland three straight. The Beavers put across two runs in the eighth for a 5 to 3 victory. 2 Sacramento downed Seattle, 2 to 0, and Hollywood edged Los Angeles, % to 4, in the other game. Oakland combed San Francisco’s Steve Nagy and Con Dempsey for ., 10 early inning runs, but just bare- il ly managed to salvage the game as {j Joe Grace clubbed a homer in the i ninth for the Seals with one on. s Hollywood's stars came out of & ] five-game losing streak and a string it of 34 consecutive scoreless innings i as pinch hitter Frankie Kelleher ;i pounded one of Ralph Hamner'’s i! pitches over the left field wall. Los {i Angeles had gotten away to a 2-C lead. The winning run came in the il seventh as outfielder Eddie Sauer (1 stole home. ' sacramento’s Orv Grove granted Seattle only three hits as he pitch- ed one of his best games this year. It was his 15th victory. He fanned eight, walked-only one batter, and did not permit a Seattle runner past first base. Portland’s Joe Brioria clubbed his 31st homer of the year in the first{ inning at Portland.

The American League battle saw Boston’s blistering Red Sox climb to within a half game of second- place Detroit with a 4-3 decision over the Chicago White Sox. It was the Beantown band’s 16th vic- | tory in 17 games. Cleveland, in bowing to the Yanks and losing the entire four-game series, fell five games off the pace. | The Indians are fourth. Home runs by Johnny Mize, Cliff Mapes, Yogi Berra and Phil Riz- zuto, contributed to the Indians’ sixth straight loss. They all came off 20-game winner Bob Lemon. Tommy Byrne started for the Yanks and gained his 14th victory although relieved in the late stages. The Tigers were victimized by Gene Bearden, who won his third zame of the season. Art Houtteman limited the victors to five hits, but three straight in the third inning gave Washington both its runs. Boston's Clyde Vollmer walked o four straight balls by Billy Pierce in the ninth, forcing home the win- ning Red Sox run. 'The only other American League competition saw the Philadelphia Athletics and the St. Louis Browns | split. The Browns won the opener, 4-3, and the A’s the nightcap, 3-2 In the only other National League game, the New York Giants squeez- ed out a 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh gaing a tie with the St. Louis Card- inals for fourth place.

The Braves’ young Johnny Anton- | ‘elli served up a curve ball that re-| Brooklyn first baseman met it with | the fat of his bat. | The ball soared into the upper | tier of the cozy Brooklyn ball yard |and a crowd of 14-226 rose to its feet withr a roar. Hodges had done it. He had be- come the sixth player in major league history to bang four home runs in a single game. But none did it under such unus- | ual circumstances .Hodges powered his home runs off four different pitchers and on three different kind of pitches. The five other major leaguers with ' four home runs-in the record book are Bobby Lowe, 1894 Boston Na- tionals; Ed Delehanty, 1896 Phila- delphia Nationals; ' Lou Gehrig, 1932 New York Yankees; Chuck Klein, 1936 Philadelphia Phillies, and Pat Seerey, 1948 Chicago White Sox. Hodges also equaled the major league record for total bases in a game—17. The big slugger came up six times, singling and grounding | out when he didu't connect: for the circuit, and drove in nine rums.’ | Hodges now is even with his entire 1949 output of home runs—23. - B.B.SiARS Here are the stars oI yesierday's baseball games: Batting—Gil Hodges, Dodgers, banged four homers to tie major league, collected 17 total bases to tie another major league mark and drove in nine runs to lead Brooklyn to a 19-3 victory over Bos- ton.
