CHICAGO AT NEW YORK Cubs............ 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 1 5 0 Giants.......... 0 0 0 2 4 2 1 1 - 10 14 3 Win:Parmelee(7-6) Loss:Lee(11-10) Homeruns- M.Ott-2(40th), R.Parmelee(2nd) Right fielder Mel Ott slammed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI and Roy Parmelee allowed Bill Terry to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game at Polo Grounds as the New York Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 10 to 1. Ott enjoyed a great day at the plate. Every time he came up in the latter innings, the crowd was on their feet cheering. He cracked a two-run shot in the 4th inning, laced a base-knock which plated a run in the 5th inning and cracked a solo homerun (his 40th of the season) in the 7th inning. New York rapped out 14 hits for the afternoon. The victory went to Parmelee(7-6) who went the distance allowing 1 run. Bill Lee(11-10) ended up with the loss. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 5 innings. 'I felt great out there today,' Ott said, 'Maybe I should make a regular habit of getting to bed on time!' PITTSBURGH AT BOSTON Pirates......... 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 7 1 Braves.......... 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 - 3 7 2 Win:Brandt(11-14) Loss:Birkofer(13-9) Bill Urbanski had 2 base hits and Ed Brandt completed the game without help from the bullpen as the red-hot Boston Braves defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 3 to 2 at Braves Field. Boston took the lead for keeps in the 7th inning scoring a single run. After an out was recorded, Brandt drew a walk. Urbanski was next and he laced a one-base hit. Urbanski took second on the throw. Tommy Thompson then would ground out scoring the run. Pittsburgh threatened in the 9th but Boston was able to put down the rally. The win went to Brandt(11-14) who allowed 2 runs in the game. Ralph Birkofer(13-9) ended up with the loss. With the win, Boston continued their winning ways; their streak now stands at 7 games and counting. 'We've really come alive lately,' Bill McKechnie said. 'We won some tough games and I feel real good about this ballclub right now, and hopefully we'll continue the roll we're on.' ST. LOUIS AT BROOKLYN Cardinals....... 0 1 0 0 0 3 2 2 0 - 8 16 1 Dodgers......... 0 0 4 3 0 0 0 0 0 - 7 9 0 Win:Haines(7-3) Loss:Munns(6-6) Homeruns- S.Davis(10th), J.McCarthy(2nd) Spud Davis jacked one out of the ballyard and had 3 RBI as the impressive St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 8 to 7 at Ebbetts Field. Davis had a big day against Brooklyn. He delivered a solo blast (his 10th of the season) in the 2nd inning, ripped a base-knock scoring a run in the 6th inning and delivered a base-hit resulting in a run in the 8th inning. St. Louis ended up with 16 hits for the game while Brooklyn had 9. Jesse Haines(7-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 4 innings and allowing no runs. Les Munns(6-6) was charged with the loss in relief. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 7 hits and 3 walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.
