Once up- on a time, way back in 1899, a Cleveland team managed to win only 20 all year. But 1900 usually is the dividing line for modern records. Maybe Branch Rickey’s youth movement will pay off in the future books. He has no-hit pitchers and 27 strikeout artists in the lower | minors, But the collection now per- forming at Pittsburgh certainly is learning the hard way. They lost another. Wednesday night, 5-2, to Cincinnati as the veteran Kenny Raffensberger won his sixth of the season. Bobby Adams and Roy MeMillan hit homers to ease Raffy home past Red Munger. Jack Merson hit a homer for the Bucs. In the upper strata of the league, Jim Hearn pitched the New York Giants to a third straight over Brooklyn 6-2, opening up a "| 2a game lead on the Dodgers. It was the last game for Willie Mays, Giants’ centerfielder, who reports for Army duty today.
