Joe Brovia’ s-loaded homer in the eightt ted the count, and the Beavers .sed on three moré runs in the inth to stash it away. It also was a wild night at Lo ngeles, where Fred Baczewski alked 11 men but still managed tc pitch the Angeles to an 11-9 triumph over San Francisco. Twice Baczew- k' walked the bases full and twice he Seals cleaned them off. Seaftle tumbled from third tc ifth by way of a 5-4 defeat at San Diego.

Next day they finesse you with skillful pitching and brillian defense. It must be discouraging for the tourists. You won't see many better-pitch- °d games than Early Wynn threw lost 1-0,-as his Cleveland Tribe left 13 on the bases. Joe DiMaggio applied the clinch- er with an innocent first-inning single scoring Dr. Bobby Brown Wynn gave up only three-hits in hds seven-inning stay, one a triple by Gerry Coleman in the eighth. Home Run Streak Biz Gus Zernial continued his home run streak with his seventh in four consecutive games for the Athletics. Gus tied an American league record, set by Tony Lazzer: in 1936. But he fell one short of Ralph Kiner’s major league high. hung up in 1947, The Athletics crept out of the celler on a 7-6 victory over St Louis. It was too cold for the Red Sox to play the White Sox at Fenway but Boston warmed up with a dea! for a catcher. Les Moss of the Browns moved to Boston for Catcher Matt Batts and Pitcher Jim Such- ecki. Connie Marrero shook Washington out of a four-game losing streak by beating Detroit, 11-6, for his fifth straight win. 1It's still only three games from the bottom in the National with Brooklyn, the pre-season favorite on top, and the 1950 champicn Phillies in the cellar. Dodger Power Missing The vaunted Dodger power was missing at Chicago where Frank Hiller spun a seven-hitter, 7-0, while Ransom Jackson and Hank Sauver ripped into Erv Palica for home runs. Keeping pace with the Cubs, the Pittsburgh Pirates moved within one game of first place by knocking off New York, 12-7. Ralph Kiner had a big day with his sixth homer and a double to drive in five runs Cincinnati edged even with the :500 mark on a 6-5 win over Boston’s Warren Spahn.
