PIRATE-RAIDER RIVALRY FLARES AGAIN SUNDAY In Nightcap Of Wickers*—————— McCullough’s Homer Ends’ 13 - Game Winning Streak; Indians| Scalp Yanks, 4-3 (By The Associated Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Both the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees took it on the chin yesterday but their positions Brooklyn’s atop the major leagues were searcely in any danger as the result. Even though the second-place New York Giants gained a full game by edging Pittsburgh, 2 to 1, in a night game in the Smoky City, the Dodgers still hold a nine-game lead despite the 10-8 beating which the Chicago Cubs administered yesterday, breaking Brooklyn's 13-game winning rtreak. Clyde McCullough’s ninth in- ning smash into the left field ramp at Wrigley Field with one on and two out spelled the Dodgers’ doom as 24,319 gleeful fans looked on. Dave Koslo won a mound duel from Bob Queen and Jim Bagby for the Giants’ conquest at Pitts- burgh, allowing six hits. The Giants only collected five. The Cleveland Indians nosed out the Yankees, 4 to 3, at Yan- kee Stadium, winning an uphill battle on Jim Hegan’s triple and Joe Bockman’s fly in the ninth. The second-place Boston Red Sox failed to reduce the Yanks’ 11%-game lead, however, as the Detroit Tigers pasted a 3-1 de- feat on them at Boston on Fred- die Hutchinson's six-hit pitching. The victory brought the Tigers within half a game of second place. In other American League ames, both at night, St. Louis downed Philadelphia, 4 to 1, at Philadelphia as Herb Moncrief dished up a seven-hitter and the Washington Senators repulsed the Chicago White Sox, 8 to 1, on Early Wynn’s seven-hit tossing. The St. Louis Cards kept in a virtual tie for second place in the National League, only a few per- centage points being behind the Giants, by sinking ater phia Phillies, 6 to 1. Mu: Dick- son narrowly missed’ a shutout, yielding five scattered hits. At Cincinnati the Reds beat Warren Spahn, and the Boston Braves, 3 to 2, after 12 innings, in the second game of a double- header. The Hub City ace went the route but was nicked for nine hits while three Cincinnati pitch- ers allowed the Braves but six. In the opener the Braves stopped the Reds, 4 to 2, although John- ny Vander Meer allowed the visitors only five bingles to seven off Johnny Sain.

One of the two clubs bound to’ be ousted from first place since they both hold a grip on the league lead. The Pirate line-up is virtually the same as the Buccaneers have been using for the past several years but several new faces mark this new Raider outfit. Mario Hernandez at third, Armando Acevedo at short, Dewitt Roberts catching and Bo Meador in the box are the old regulars still with the Red Hats. Paul Higginbotham, the Key West High star, out in right field, Myers in center and Ma- chin in left are new Raiders who have acquitted themselves well in the league thus far.

I’m sur- prised that you'll even speak to me. I did slip away when no one was looking, and I didn’t even bring my Clothes. I was so mad I just didn’t care.” He nodded, “Well, you were pretty dumb, However, i’ts a good thing you did leave your clothes. Otherwise my Story wouldn't have made sense.” “What would you have done if I'd refused to come with you, John? I almost did refuse.” “Oh"—he mnned broadly—“I probably would have dragged you out by your pretty blonde hair. However, I knew you'd come— positively.” “Pretty sure of yourself, aren’t you?” she teased. “Nor Not so sure of myself.” John’s face sobered, and he add- ed with obvious earnestness, “Just sure of you, Susie. I’ve always known you. were a swell gal. A little on the impulsive side, of course, but regular as they make ’em.” “Thanks, John. I don’t know anybody I'd rather hear say that.” “There's another thing too. Re- member my telling you once that you weren’t in -Steve Gellis’ class?” “Yes, I remember. It made me preity sore too.” “It shouldn’t have. Steve’s a fine fellow, but you're so far ahead of him that it isn’t even funny. How’s that for an orchid, sugar?” “Wonderful! Not that I'm vain enough to believe it, of course.’ She made one more feeble pro- test against returning to Ocean- view. “I'm not backing down or re- neging,” she told John, “but they don’t really need me out at Oceanview.

She came out for a lark if you ask me.” “That’s what I thought, but she said she intended to stay.” John laughed. “She left bright and early this morning. Reed left with her,” “That's strange. Linda said she was slaying for the duration. Nat- urally I thought Mr. Reed would stay too. After all. it’s his home.” “Nothing strange about it, Susie. One night was all they could take. so they said. It was about all the rest of us could take too. Steve was tearing nis hair, and I was scared within an inch of my life I was positive poor Mrs. Tremont would have another one of her — er — bad headaches.” “Tm still worried about Mrs. Tremont. She didn’t say much, but I knew she was fit to be tied. Good grief—I wouldn't have her gum up the works at this stage for anything.” Susan’s eyes widened in genu- ine distress. “Oh, I’m so sorry, I do hope the poor woman’s not— er—indisposed, like sne was that first day. What on earth hap- pened? What did Linda and Alan do that upset her so? I hope the daisy-pickers didn’t act up too.” “The daisy- pickers behaved beautifully,” John assured Susan. “Believe that if you can. We turned them loose in the music room and let J.

Anyhow they had a rip snorting good time.” “That's a comfort.

Gee, can that jerk be nasty when he wants to be!” Susan clasped her hands to- gether in dismay. “Oh, how dreadful! He found them, of course?” Susan ali but held her breath while she waited for the answer.
