NEW YORK AT BOSTON Giants.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 2 7 3 Braves.......... 3 0 2 5 0 2 0 0 - 12 14 0 Win:Cantwell(6-5) Loss:Salveson(6-1) Homeruns- W.Berger-2(22nd) Center fielder Wally Berger launched 2 homeruns and had 8 RBI as the Boston Braves destroyed the New York Giants by a score of 12 to 2 at Braves Field. Berger provided much of the offense. He delivered a single plating a run in the 1st inning, smashed a two-run homer in the 3rd inning, doubled with all three runners coming home in the 4th inning and cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 22nd of the season) in the 6th inning. Boston had 14 hits overall, while New York had 7. The win went to Ben Cantwell(6-5) who allowed 2 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings. The loss was charged to Jack Salveson(6-1). He got hit pretty hard, allowing 9 hits and 2 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings. 'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some adjustments,' Berger said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you out certain ways, you've got to make changes.' NEW YORK AT BOSTON Giants.......... 0 0 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 4 9 3 Braves.......... 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 - 2 4 1 Win:Schumacher(11-8) Loss:Frankhouse(10-12) Homeruns- M.Ott(28th) George Watkins had 2 base hits and Hal Schumacher came through with a solid 9 innings at Braves Field where the New York Giants beat the Boston Braves 4 to 2. New York came up with 3 runs in the top of the 3rd inning. That was all the offense they were to need. New York managed 9 in their victory. Schumacher(11-8) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 2 runs. Fred Frankhouse(10-12) was tagged with the loss. He allowed 4 runs and 8 hits in 7 innings. PHILADELPHIA AT BROOKLYN Phillies........ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 6 1 Dodgers......... 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 1 7 1 Win:Benge(10-10) Loss:Collins(10-8) Save:Munns(3rd) In a game for the baseball purist, Ray Benge(10-10) and Phil Collins(10-8) squared off in a tense pitching duel, Brooklyn Dodgers finally emerged victorious over reeling Philadelphia Phillies, 1 to 0. Brooklyn scored what proved to be the only run of the contest in the 4th inning. Danny Taylor lined a one-base hit. After an out was recorded, Tony Cuccinello stepped in and he doubled scoring the run. Philadelphia threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. Les Munns was credited with his 3rd save. Brooklyn now has a record of 44-52. Philadelphia has a record of 41-57 after the loss. PITTSBURGH AT CINCINNATI Pirates......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 1 8 0 Reds............ 0 0 6 0 0 0 1 0 - 7 9 1 Win:Derringer(8-12) Loss:Swift(6-7) Homeruns- G.Slade(5th), C.Hafey(14th) Paul Derringer was able to finish what he started and was credited with a complete game and Gordon Slade hit one over the fence and had 2 RBI at Crosley Field as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7 to 1. In the 3rd inning Cincinnati scored 6 runs when they had 7 base hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Derringer(8-12) and Cincinnati. That was all the run support Derringer required. Cincinnati totaled 9 on the afternoon. Bill Swift(6-7) was hit with the loss. He was not very effective, surrendering 6 runs in 2 and 2/3 innings. ST. LOUIS AT CHICAGO Cardinals....... 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 3 6 0 Cubs............ 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 - 4 15 2 Win:Root(4-2) Loss:Haines(4-3) Homeruns- W.English(2nd) One run was the difference at Wrigley Field as the Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in 12 innings 4 to 3. The game was deadlocked at 3 after nine full innings. Chicago was victorious in the 12th inning. Tuck Stainback laced a one-base hit. Two outs later Gabby Hartnett came up and he doubled giving Chicago the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. Chicago had 15 hits for the afternoon while St. Louis had 6. Charlie Root(4-2) allowed no runs in 4 innings, and picked up the victory. Jesse Haines(4-3) was the losing pitcher in relief. He allowed 1 run and 4 hits in 3 and 2/3 innings. The Chicago ballclub's record now stands at 57-40. With the loss, St. Louis has a record of 4-6 lately, 55-41 overall.
