Brooklyn ended a three-game losing streak, edging out the Phila- delphia Phillies 7-5 on Roy Cam- panella’s two-run homer in the 10th but remained 6% games behind the National League leading New York Giants who whipped Pittsburgh 6-3. Johnny Antonelli went the route for his 13th Giant victory, Campanella, who earlier had dis- closed that two fingers of his left hand had become numb following an operation last May, also ignited a three-run ninth inning rally with a double that overcame a 5-2 defi cit. Two walks and a base-clearing double by Pee Wee Reese account- ed for the three tying runs. Jim Greengrass batted in four runs with a homer and single to give Cincinnati a 5-3 victory over Milwaukee. Gene Baker cracked four hits and drove in four runs to lead the Cubs to a 64 victory over the Cardinals. Baker got his fourth hit in’ the 11th inning when the Cubs broke through for the win- ning runs. Pitcher Duane Pillette pitched and batted Baltimore to a 7-5 vic- tory over Detroit.

Lopez Fears Only The N.Y. Yankees Lopez of the first-place Cleveland Indians fears only the New York Yankees, now three games off the Pace. “Even if the Chicago White Sox whip us four straight,” said Lopez, “it’s the Yankees, not the White Sox we'll be worried about.” The Pale Hose gained some slight measure of revenge before 43,470 faithful last night, trimming Cleveland 8-3 to end a string of four successive one-run losses to the Tribe. “Sure, the White Sox are primed to give us the works,” said Lopez. “But I don’t forget that in 1951, 1952 and 1953 it was the Yankees who beat us to the wire. That's the ; club we have to beat, “T’m not overlooking the possi- bility of the White Sox making up lost ground with a patched-up line- up. We did pretty good ourselves | with Al Rosen and Bobby Avila on the sidelines.” ° jing Eddie Marsh at third and rookie Ron Jackson at first in place of the injured George Kell and Ferris Fain.

It, too, snapped back. “You can see I was trying to hold the fingers together but I had no control over them,” he said. “T also have no power in the area around the top of my hand near the thumb. My doctor friend said if the nerve is involved, the numb- ness couki spread over my entire hand‘ and it could be useless by the end of the year.” Campanella said he has known about the stiffness in his fingers for some time and that he intend- ed to see Dr. Fett several days ago, but the physician was per- forming an operation at the time.

Mrs. R. DeWeese, the ine jured woman, was suffering from a fractured left ankle. The two pilots of the helicopter, Lt. R. D. Cogswell and Chief Avia- tion Piolt Heggod, proceeded to the scene of the accident. Ac- companing the two wilots was Hospitalman 2rd Class Ernest Liv- ingston from the Naval Air Sta- tion. He administered the neces- Sary first-aid on the return trip. The patient was picked up and re- turned to the Naval Air Station where she was admitted to the Naval Hospital. When Mrs. DeWeese was hurt, her husband radioed the Coast Guard Station and they in turn notified the Naval Air Station. Due to the rough water and the time element the helicopter was sent instead of a boat from the Coast Guard Station. Mrs. DeWeese and her husband are governmental employees at the National Monument on Dry Tortugas Island. a ——<—_—_—_—____—— REWARD .
