A five run | rally in the third iced the game for Giant Pitching Hits A Slump By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK Pitching, which used to be the New York Giants’ strength, has become the team’s weakness. And nobody realizes it better than Manager Leo Du- rocher, “Our pitching has been bad... awful,”” moaned Durocher yester- day after Sal Maglie, his ace, and Al Corwin, his No. 2 reliever, had been treated roughly in a 12-8 loss to Milwaukee. “It might get worse/ before it gets better. Frankly, I’m worried. Brooklyn appears to be getting stronger all the time while we seem to be worse. With the league shaping up stronger all around, this club can finish fifth as easily as first.” Durocher didn’t actually say so, but the indication was there that he had little hope for Maglie and Larry Jansen to regain their bril- liant 1951 pitching form. Without good pitching, Leo had no hope whatsoever of overtaking the league-leading Braves and the Dodgers. “It looks more and more every day that Brooklyn is the team to| beat for the flag,” he said. “I know | Schoendienst Is Keeping Pace In Batting Race NEW YORK — Red Schoen- dienst, the St. Louis Cardinal vet- eran trying for his first National League batting title, continued to set the batting pace in the league today but the American League race had turned into a three-ring circus, Schoendienst, rapping hits from both sides of the plate, connected safely 13 times in 3 times at bat during the past week and saw his average dip only two points, from | 371 to .369. Figures include games through last night, when the lanky redhead went one for six. The junior league, however, is ir a three-way battle between two former batting champions, George Kell of Boston and Mickey Vernon of Washington, and Mickey Mantle, the Yanks’ young slugger. All are batting .347. Mantle came with a rush during | the week, adding 20 points to his 359 mark. | cept for pitching, I don’t think any team in the league can compare with mine.

Almost equally grim stories have come from Boulogne and the Humez camp.
