Braves Gain Double Win With Story Book Finish Giant Lead Is Boosted To 6% Games By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It was Milwaukee’s last turn at bat. There were two outs. And the Brooklyn Dodgers were leading 83. : It looked like the end, and Mil- ‘waukee’s all-time record crowd— 43,633—was ready to go home sat- isfied at least with an even split, the Braves having won the first game 24, Except for one detail— The bases were loaded. Joe Adcock came to bat. Reliefer ’ Jim Hughes cocked his arm and prepared to finish off the side. But Adcock connected. Two men came in on his single. Brooklyn Manager Walt Alston, taking no chances at this point, tushed Erv Palica to the mouad. | * The crowd went wild. Andy Pafko came up. Palica tried hard, but Pafko got his num- ber and slammed out a double that brought in two more runs. It was now 8-7. Then ‘Johnny Logan came up. This was it. And he did—a single. In came the tying run. Logan took second on the throw to the plate. By now the incredulous crowd was ready for the kill, and catcher Charlie White’s single over second, bringing Logan in, was all the Braves needed. score was 9-8. Milwaukee dealt Brooklyn its first double defeat since Sept. 6, 1952. ‘The two losses, combined with New York’s 4-0 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals, boosted the Giants’ first-place National League margin over the Dodgers to 6% games, * Cleveland’s Indians retained Yheir half-game edge over New York in the tight American League Athletics 4-0 as the Yankees edged the Baltimore Orioles 3-1. Chicago’s third-place White Sox fell four games off the pace, losing to Washington 3-2. Detroit and Bos- ton divided a day-night double- header, the Tigers winning the nightcap 4-2 after the Red Sox had taken the opener 3-1. Cincinnati’s Redlegs climbed in- to a three-way tie for third place with Milwaukee and Philadelphia, sweeping both ends of a twi-night twin bill from the Phillies 2-1 and 43 to spoil Terry Moore’s mana- gerial debut. Chicago’s Cubs knocked off the last-place Pitts- burgh Pirates twice in the after- noon 9-3 and 3-0. Hank Sauer and Ernie Banks homered in each game. The Dodgers were limited to only three singles in the opening game by Milwaukee’s Bob Buhl, who won his first game of the season after’ seven defeats. Eddie Mathews slammed two homers, his 20th and 2ist of the season, for the Braves. His first came in the seventh of the opener with a mate aboard to break up a scoreless duel betwen Buhl and Brooklyn’s Bob Millikin. His sec- ond also came with a man on base to furnish Milwaukee’s first two runs. Pitcher Don Liddle and catcher Wes Westrum combined their tal- ents to down the Cardinals. Liddle, the tiny southpaw, limited the Red- birds to five hits while Westrum walloped a home run and a single to drive in three runs. Home runs by Andy Seminick end Jimmy Greengrass enabled Art Fowler to win a pitching duel from Philadelphia’s Curt Simmons in the opener of their twin bill. Gus Bell’s bases-loaded single in the eighth drove in the tying and winning runs in the nightcap. _ Early Wynn tamed the Athletics with four hits for his 11th victory as the Indians snapped a four- game losing streak, Al Rosen dou- bled in the first Cleveland run and Wynn participated in the three-run | rally later with a run-scoring sin- | gle off loser Alex Kellner. The Yankees scored a run on each of two passed balls by catch- er Les Moss and added another | on Irv Noren’s homer, Their vic- tery string is now 10 straight. Veteran southpaw Johnny Schmitz pitched a five-hitter and outfielder Tom Umphlett drove in} all three Washington runs with a single and triple in their 3-2 victory ¢ over the White Sox. Qutfielder Bill Tuttle’s two-run | double in the ninth snapped a 2-2) tie and gave the Tigers the night- cap victory over the Red Sox. Ted -Williams’ ninth homer helped Wil- lard Nixon pick up his eighth vic- tory in the afternoon game.

The young Jacksonville Beach righthander won. it over Cocoa 3-0 in somewhat of a breeze. There was only one shaky mo-| ment. It came after two were out | in the ninth. Up to then Konkoleski | had allowed only two Cocoa bat- ters to reach base. Both walked and both died on first. But on a ground ball that would have ended the game, Allen Myer made an error and Cocoa’s Bill Patriss reached first base. Then Ron Marston walked, a man was on second for the first time and manager Bama Rowell came to bat. Konkoleski got him on a fly to deep center and he had the no- hitter. Russ Nixon got three of the five Jacksonville Beach hits off Neil Roberts and scored two runs. Another good pitching job showed up in a 13-1 DeLand victory over Daytona Beach. Jim Ruiz, cele- brating his birthday, gave the Islanders only three hits. Two came in the first inning and 24 went down in order before Dave Davis walked. DeLand scored) seven runs in the first inning to give Ruiz easy sailing. : The Orlando CBs took a 7-5 de- cision from Lakeland and ad- vanced to practically a tie for first place. Lakeland leads in percent- age but has one less victory and one less defeat than Orlando. A six-hit Orlando blast in the third inning .drove Lakeland’s starter, Jack Wantz, off the hill and started a parade of six CB runs.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, July 16, 1954 Backers Hope Terry Moore The Phils CINCINNATI ® — “Amateur” Terry Moore had a major league ball club to manage today and the Philadelphia Phillies were hopeful the former center fielder of the St. Louis Cardinals’ Gas House Gang, can rejuvenate the Whiz Kids. Moore was handed his very first managerial assignment yesterday in a surprise road-trip shift. ‘““Gen- tleman” Terry took up where rough-hewed Steve O’Neill ‘eft off —directing the endeavors of a ball team in third place in the National League, 15 games behind the first- place New York Giants and a far Piece from preseason expectations. General Manager Roy Hamey called sportswriters together and announced that Moore was being called up to replace O’Neill in hopes he might be able to instill in | the cooled-off 1950 National League pennant winners some of the “alert” type of play that charac- terized Moore’s own tenure with ‘the Cards, Hamey said the selection of Moore was ‘“‘a shot in the dark,” decided on after only 48 hours of serious deliberation. O'Neill, veteran manager of long standing and onetime catcher with the Detroit Tigers, said the an- nouncement that he was through came as a “bolt from the blue.” Moore had little to say. He pointed out he had seen the Phillies play only twice in the last two years. Moore, who also was a coach for the Cardinals following his llth season as an active player, had planned — until tapped by Hamey — to retire and devote all his time starting next fall to a dance hall, bowling alley and cock- tail lounge he owns near St. Louis. He took over immediately after the press conference and his first day at the helm was marred with a double defeat at the hands of Cincinnati. The Redlegs won a twi- night double-header 2-1 and 4-3. Moore was signed to a one-year contract, salary undisclosed, Hamey said, adding that one-year pacts would be a Phillies policy with managers from now on. O'Neill will receive the pay coming him for the balance of this year, the extent of his contract. O'Neill packed and left the club last night with no apparent hard feelings. He wished his successor “better luck than I had. I hope you will be there for a long, long time.” Other than the club’s failure to hold down the No. 1 spot in the league, the main reason for the Moore appointment seemed to be a belief in the oft-tested precept if the team isn’t doing so well, get a new manager. That was the way Hamey ex- pressed it. Navy Man, Champ Golf Favorites DALLAS, Tex. (#—Bill Scar- brough, a giant chief petty officer who makes a golf club behave like a Navy rookie, and Los Angeles City Champion Gene Andrews loomed as top favorites in the 29th National Public Links Tournament today. Scarbrough, 30-year-old Jackson- ville, Fla., booked his way into the semifinals yesterday with an assortment of terrific chip shots and ,a torrid putter. He squares off against Jack Zim- merman, 26-year-old Dayton, Ohio, mechanical engineer, in one 36-hole seminfals match today, In the other is Andrews, oldest contender left at 40, and Joe Evans, 31, St. Louis baker.

Big Jet Liner Proves Its Wings In Test Flight SEATTLE (#—The plane Boeing Airplane Co. believes is the world’s largest and fastest jet airliner has left its nest and proved its wings in a dramatic flight test. The big ship, dubbed the 707 and built to serve as an airliner for the commercial airways or a tanker to haul fuel for Air Force jet bombers, took off on its maiden flight yesterday. The takeoff of the 110,000-pound craft came at a point two thirds of the way down the 5,400-foot run- way at Renon Municipal Airport. Its four 10,000-horsepower jet en- gines had boosted it into the air in 17 seconds. Within 15 minutes it was at 20,000 feet. An hour and 24 minutes later it landed after what its pilots said was a faultless flight. Company officials said no speed test was involved but the big craft, designed to carry 130 passengers in its massive belly, is supposed to be capable of a speed of 550 miles an hour. The company says it has invest- ed 16 million dollars in the ship. Flying Finns Will Resume Legal Battle HOLLYWOOD # Gaining weight and strength after the end of their 23-day hunger strike, the Flying Finn twins expect to resume their legal battle with the federal government in about 10 days.

McGrew, in winning his first | start for Coca Cola, struck out eleven. He lost his shutout in the seventh when Clint Warren homer- ed with a man on base. Coca Cola got off to a 1-0 lead in the first when Kaki Rodriguez tripled to open the game and scored on Danny Lastres’ fly to center. In the third, Coca Cola took advantage of some loose field- ing by the VX-1 infield to come up with four runs. They added their final run in the fifth when Jutio Henriquez walked and scored on) Al Goehring’s double. Goehring led Coca Cola’s offense | with a double and single in three trips to the plate. Warren collect- ed two of the Flyers’ three hits off McGrew. In the nightcap, Sonar School handed the Dairy Queen Blizzards their second loss of the season, 5-3, behind Charles Franklin's five hat- ter. The usual smooth-fielding Bliz- zard infield fell apart, committing eight errors. Not a single Sonar run was earned. On the other hand, all Blizzard runs were results of home runs. Dewitt Roberts, who pitched a fine game himself, aided his own cause with two homers. Charlie Perez homered in thé fourth for the other Blizzard run. Two errors and a single by Bill Moyer gave Sonar a run in the third. Schultz’ single and two more errors accounted for another Sonar tally in the fourth. The deciding runs came across in the fifth on three costly errors. Schultz and Moyer collected all of the hits for Sonar.
