He s uce Action lYankee Hopes Up As Byrne Beats Orioles BALTIMORE w — Manager Casey Stengel says the forlorn hopes of the New York Yankees to overtake the Cleveland Indians for the American League pennant depends on improved pitching, and a prodigal son, Tommy Byrne, has given him some encouragement. Byrne returned last night to the Yankees after a three-year ab- sence to pitch and bat them to an 8-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The 34-year-old Byrne, a south- paw, was bought last Friday from Seattle of the Pacific Coast League where he had a 20-10 record. In his first appearance in a Yankee uniform since 1951, he -gave the Orioles only seven hits, getting them out in order in five innings. A throwing error by center fielder Mickey Mantle let in one of the runs scored by the Orioles. At the plate, Byrne got the first {after tripling in the third and cleared the loaded bases im the next inning with a double. Byrne won 15 games two straight Seasons for the Yankees in 1949 1950. His major league pitch- games this season. “If we get the pitching we'll win the 100,” he said. The Yankees need only six more victories in 16 games to reach the century mark for the first time under Stengel. Slugfest Seen In Marciano- Charles Brawl By ED CORRIGAN MONTICELLO, ‘N.Y. (#—Just to get it over with fast, yes, Ezzard Charles well remembers the past- ing he took from Rocky Marciano in their last heavyweight ehampion- ship fight. So does his manager, Tom Tan- nas. Therefore the is that the memory of the last battle will have a bad psychological effect on Ezzard, who climbs into the Yankee Stadium ring against Marciano in just six days. “Only the match will disclose that,” said Charles today as he resumed heavy drills that will keep him busy until Monday. “I feel the same as I did before our last meeting. I-might say even better. I know what to expect and will |have a better offense and defense. “I know, and I think that I proved, that Rocky is no superman. | If it weren’t for that wild cripplin, blow to the Adam’s apple in the ninth, I’m certain my performance would have been even better. For Charles, that’s a long speech. But he did appear confident, throwing a smokescreen, Charles will trade Punches with Marciano. That’s just what the Rock and his manager, Al Weill, want, so they say, 20 someone is m: a mistake, Tannas frowned when the Psycho- logical effect of Marciano's maul- ing — mentioned. one ever seems to consider that Marciano received more pun- ishment in that fight than he did in any other tough match,” ‘Tannas Tannas even thinks Charles has | @ chance to knock out four runs for himself.

Buffalo Attack Is Fought Off In Ohio Woods CANTON, Ohio w — A thunder of hoofbeats, the angry barking of rifles and the charging buffalo bit the dust just feet away, from his two intended victims. A Western prairie a century ago? No, a woods near here yes- terday, with farmer Russell Kiko and his 13-year-old son Dan killing the 1,200-pound bison with .22-cali- ber rifles. The buffalo was one of four which belong on Tony Diano’s animal farm and have been break- ing out and roaming here abouts altogether too often to suit Diano’s neighbors. As Kiko and Dan tell it, they had chased the four bison — three bulls and a cow — into a-woods on their farm yesterday. With them was a neighbor, Robert Yohe. One bull turned around and pounded toward them, head low- ered for action. Yohe, unarmed, zoomed up a high-tension electri- cal power derrick. Kiko and Dan Pumped their .228 as fast as they could, with a score of bullets find- ing their mark before the buffalo was felled, */YOU CAN'T WIN!

Four have maae the grade so far, with Early Wynn of the fast- moving Cleveland Indians the new- est recruit. Wynn passed his entrance exams with flying colors last night, throw- ing an eight-hit 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics. And a long-time associate of the elite, Warren Spahn of Milwaukee, moved next in line by winning No. 19 for the rip-roaring Braves, 5-2 over Pittsburgh. On hand to greet Wynn, who has won 20 or more twice before, were teammate Bob Lemon, a six-time member; Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies, who has been in good standing for five consecu- tive seasons; and newcomer John- ny Antonelli of the New York Gi- ants. With Spahn, a member five times | previously, almost certain to join soon, the only other live prospects appear to be Virgil Trucks (18-8) of the Chicago White Sox, who won 20 last season, and rookie Bob Grim (17-6) of the New York Yankees. Wynn’s victory last night kept Cleveland 4% games ahead of the Yankees, who beat Baltimore 8-2 in Tommy Byrne’s return to the majors. Milwaukee moved within four games of the rain-idled Giants while Brooklyn slipped six games back by losing to St. Louis 6-5. In. other action, Cincinnati de- feated Philadelphia 9-3 and took over fourth place from the Phils; the Chicago White Sox shaded Washington 2-1; and the Red Sox beat Detroit 5-2: Rain washed out the Giants’ scheduled home ee) ccmnail: Six per already have with Chicago. Spahn won his ilth game in a row by blanking the Pirates on three hits after giving up two runs in the first inning. Eddie Mathews hit his 36th home run with Joe Adcock on base in the third. Carl Erskine of the Dodgers, who has won 16, lost his chance to stay in the running for the 20-Game Club by failing to hold a two-run lead in the ninth inning against the Cardinals. He escaped the loss since he left with the tieing runs on base. Joe Cunningham cashed them in against relief pitcher Jim Hughes, then scored the winning run on Rip Repulski’s single. Had- dix pitched the ninth inning for the Cardinals, saving the victory for rookie Gordon Jones. Big Ted Kluszewski of the Red- legs drove in three runs and start- ed a four-run Cincinnati rally in the sixth with his 45th home run, six more than anybody else in either league. Byrne, waived out of the majors last season because of wildness, walked only four and struck’ out four in beating Baltimore. But the Yankee right-hander stood out even more as a hitter. He scored | the first run after tripling in the third and he banged a bases-loaded double to put the Yanks ahead to! stay in the fourth. | Morrie Martin, making his sec- ond start for the White Sox, al- lowed only two singles until he gave way to Don Johnson with one out in the ninth against Wash- ington. Johnson gave up one more in finishing. The Sox raked Porter- field for 13 hits but left 11 men stranded. é Ted Williams went hitless in three times at bat in Boston’s vic- 1951 CHEVROLET, Style-Line De Luxe 1949 CHEVROLET, Fleetline De Luxe 1951 FORD, Custom 4-Door, Ford-o-matie 1953 PLYMOUTH, Station- Wagon 1952 STUDEBAKER, Champion, Hard-Top 1949 STUDEBAKER, Comdr., 5 P.

If we can get by the Dodgers—and we’re playing them one by one—maybe we can squeeze by the New York Giants. But it’s! a big order. “Everything depends on the Gi- ants. If they fold and we win—| well, it will be a big story. But let me remind you—we’re playing them one by one. Yes, I mean| one by one. j “The Pirates weren’t any push-| overs.

Braves 10th in a row but was the| third time this season they’ve ac- complished the feat. It also was Warren Spahn’s 19th victory of the season and the lith in a row for the left-hander. There’s not a National League pitcher who can boast that feat. Spahn, a five-time 20-game win- ner in the cireuit, looked like a sandlotter in the first inning.
