Boston and Brooklyn settled for 500 against the west and the de- fending champion Phillies wobbled around at a 4-6 pace. The Gianty comeback was ex- pected.

Twice he had four hits. homers and he drove in 14 runs in | the last nine games while his buddy, Eddie Stanky, continued to get on base every game with a hit or walk. Dark had a hand in all the Giants runs in yesterday's 3-2 win over the flu-riddled St. Louis Cardinals. He singled in the first and rode home on Hank Thompson’s home run blast into the right field seats. | In the third he doubled and scored the run that proved decisive on Ray | Noble’s single.

Brooklyn crowded closer to the Braves by bumping Chicage, 6-1. 1t was Don Newcombe’s first win in almost three weeks. i Pittsburgh, a distant eighth last year, wound up a successful tour by shutting out the Phillies, 2-0, on Murry Dickson’s four-hitter.
