That is the only word which de- scribes the surprising deeds of Leo Durocher’s New York Giants. During the last three weeks the Giants have won 18 of 21 games, and a majority of those have been won in the Giants last turn at nati Redlegs it boosted the Giants’ first-place lead to two games ever the Dodgers. Willie Mays and Monte Irvin shared the laurels last night. Mays, whose homer No. 21 had account- ed for the Giants’ first run, drove in the tying run with a double. Irvin, hitless in his last 26 times at bat, and riding the bench be- cause of a severe batting slump, stepped up to the plate as a pinch hitter and knocked in the winning run with a two-out single to right center. ‘That's the way it’s been going since the Giants began their spec- tacular climb to the top. Just two weeks ago to the day, it was a double by Irvin that scored two runs in the ninth to give them a 65 triumph over the Braves. Two days later, Bill Taylor's pinch-hit homer in the 10th beat Conley and the Braves 1.0. A week ago yesterday a three-run homer by Hank Thompson with two out in the ninth against the Reds enabled the Giants to turn defeat into vic- ory. Last Saturday, it was a pinch- hit homer by Hoot Evers with two out in the ninth that enabled the Gians to climax a comeback vic- ory over the Cardinals. The next day, another couple of pinch hit- ters—Bobhy Hofman and Dusty Rhedes—slammed homers in the same inning to nip the Redbirds 14.

Benson, touring the farm build- ings at Pennsylvania State Univer- sity yesterday, was asked by a picture-minded photographer if he Inew how to milk a cow. Benson seized the udder of a mearby cow and squirted the sur- photographer, standing what tought was a safe 15 feet away.

He was at his best in the fifth when Lewis’ infield out and a wild pitch put him in scor- ing position, but Roberts fanned Bobby Brown and Al Goehring and got J.

Villareal moved to second when Brodie Grooms threw wild to first attempting to pick him off. Rob- erts, however, got Danny Lastres on strikes and Kaki Rodriguez and Frank Sands were easy ground outs to end the threat. Manager Jack Villareal gave the Blizzards all the runs ‘they needed when he blasted a line shot over the left wall for his first homer of the season. It was the first hit off Lewis and it came with two outs and the sacks empty. ‘The Blizzards added four more insurance runs in the sixth. Al Pazo was safe on Brown's error to open the frame. Pazo was mov- ed around on a couple of wild pe pitches and scored on Bunsy Vil- lareal’s error.

Friend Says CHICAGO ® — A young, attrac- tive brunette, believed to be the last person to have seen Moht- gomery Ward Thorne alive, ‘has told police he\was sober and ap- peared in. go@l health when he eame to her apartment at 4 a.m. Saturday. The body of the 20-year-old heir, to a mail orderfortune was found a few hours latet in his Gold Coast apartment. The cause of death has not been determined. Doctors believe thorne died about 5 a.m., an Iour after he had visited SuzAnne Rooks, 23, who lives across the street from his apartment. Miss Rooks told Sgt.. Thomas Mulvey yesterday Thorne came to her apartment to igvite her to @ picnic with him and Maureen Re- gan, his 18-year-old fiancee, to whom he willed half his million- dollar estate. She said she declined the invitation. Miss Rooks said she had met Thorne seven years ago and that she knew his mother and had vis- ited the Thorne summer home in Lake Geneva, Wis. She also told Mulvey that a year and a half ago she. and Thorne had worked as water skiers at Cypress Gar- dens, Fla., but she had seen him infrequently lately. Miss Rooks has been subpoenaed to appear at the corener’s inquest into Thorne’s death next Monday. Thorne, whose grandfather, William Cobb Thorne, onee was president of Montgomery Ward 1 Co., had changed his will only a few days before hig death. He named Miss Ragen executor and left one eighth to each his mother and Miss Ragen’s mother. A pre- vious will made when he was 18 years old left the entire fortune to his mother. ONGRESS HIGHLIGHTS WASHINGTON (Senate Demo- cratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas says Democrats will co- operate in the Republican effort to adjourn Congress by July 31. Johnson, however, holds to an earlier prediction that it may take until Aug. 15 to clear all major legislation. FOREIGN AID—The House For- eign Affairs Committee moves to- ward a final decision on how much to recommend for foreign aid next year. President Eisenhower has proposed a 3%-billion-dollar pro- gram for the coming 12 months— the lowest total in five years. MCCARTHY-ARMY—Sen. Mundt (R-SD) says the McCarthy-Army hearings conducted by the Senate Investigations subcommittee could have been finished faster by some other competent committee not di- involved in the dispute. He no other’ committee would delays enactment of a liberalized, three-year foreign trade program. Crowds Good As Fans Boo Hapless Club By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer Browns or Orioles, St. Louis or Baltimore, the sad fact seems to be that it’s a last-place ball club. More than five million dollars have been spent on the franchise since a year ago today.

The Browns of 1953 set a major league record for consecutive losses at home. Starting June 3 they dropped 20 games in St. Louis before finally winning on July 7. The Orioles of 1954 lost their ninth in a row last night, 3-1, to Boston in 12 innings. It also was their ninth straight loss at home. And they are in last place, just like last year. The only outstanding difference is in the crowds. The Browns lost in privacy. More than 130,000 have suffered with the Orioles through their last nine defeats. “But the boos have started to echo in Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. Civie pride is beginning to wilt. The Orioles are 22% games be- hind the Cleveland Indians, who lost one game of their league lead last night. The Indians bowed to Philadelphia 4-1 while Chicago was beating Washington 7-5. moved the White Sox within games of the Indians. The New York Yankees lost at Detroit 4-1 and stayed five games This three behind. In the National League, the New York Giants continued to come up with hair-raising finishes, shading Milwaukee 3-2 ona bases-loaded single by Monte Irvin with two out in the ninth. Cincinnati mauled Brooklyn 13-1 for its fifth straight victory. Philadelphia defeated Chi- cago 4-1. St. Louis and the Pirates were rained out in Pittsburgh. Baltimore’s extra-inning loss came when Bob Turley walked Harry Agganis, the first man to face him in the 12th. Sammy Al Sima did his ex-Chicago team- mates a good turn by pitching the Athletics to a four-hit victory over Cleveland. It was the first victory for the left-hander, who was traded 10 days ago. He drove in two of the A’s four runs off Early Wynn, .who suffered his fifth loss. Virgil Trucks joined Bob Keegan as the American League’s only 10- game winners in Chicago’s victory over Washington. He needed help from Morrie Martin, however, as the Senators fought back from a 7-0 deficit. Manager Casey Stengel was bounced for arguing for the third time this year as his Yankees bowed to Steve Gromek and the Detroit Tigers. Thee Yanks collect- ed eight, hits but couldn’t score until the eighth. The Giants trailed 2-1 going into the last of the ninth. A walk, a sacrifice, a single by Don Mueller and a double by Willie Mays tied the score. Then, with the bases, loaded and two out, Leo Durocher sent up Irvin as a pinch hitter. He was hitless in his last 26 times at bat but-he met the first pitch for a single and the Giants won again. The Dodgers were helpless agaifist a combination of two-hit pitching by Bud Podbielan and a 17-hit Cincinnati attack. Jim Greengrass hit two home runs and Andy Seminick hit one for the Reds. Robin Roberts, who had to go 15 innings his last time out, struck out 11 and walked only two as the Phillies whipped Chicago. A two- run double by Smoky Burgess in the eighth clinched the contest.
