Braves Down
ur Homers;
Dodgers, 75-7
BROOKLYN. July 31 — UP —
Burly Joe Adcock set two major
league records and tied two oth-
ers Saturday when he walloped
four home runs and a double for
a total of 18 bases in powering
the Milwaukee Braves to a 15-7
rout against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Adeoek's tremendous output,
which helped the Braves gain their
ninth straight victory, set new
major league records for most to-
total bases (18) and for most ex-
tra bases H3> in one game. The
old records had been shared by
six players, including Lou Gehrig
of the New York Yankees and Gil
Hodges of the Dodgers.
The records tied by the six-foot-
four. 210-pound Braves first base-
man were four homers in one
game and most long hits in the
same contest ifivei. Adcock is the
first player to wallop five long hits
in a game since the modern era
of baseball, starting in 1900.
GIANTS 7, CARDS 0
NEW YORK, July 31 — UP—
Hank Thompson smashed a pair
of homers and scored four runs
while Sal Maglie and Marv Gris-
som collaborated in a four-hit
shutout Saturday to give the
league-leading New York Giants a
7 to 0 victory over the Cincinnati
Redlegs. '
The victory, coupled with lac
Brooklyn Dodgers' defeat at the
hands of the Milwaukee Braves,
widened the Giants' National
League lead to four games. It
marked the second straight day
that the Giants gained a full game
on Brooklyn.
Maglie yielded three of the Cin-
cinnati hits and picked up his 11th
triumph of the season before wilt-
ing in the 95-degree heat and giv-
Two National League team rec-
ords were tied in the contest. The
10 home runs hit by both teams and
the 13 extra base hits by Milwau-
kee both equalled league marks.
Besides Adcock, Ed Mathews al-
so hit his 26th and 27th homers for
the Braves and Andy Pafko wal-
loped his 14th. Gil Hodges his 28th,
A1 Walker and Don Hoak homered
for Brooklyn. In all, Adcock drove
in seven runs and raised his season
homer total to 19.
ing way to Grissom with one on
rnd one out in the eighth.
Athletics Down Braves
To Win Teenage Crown
Dale McKeehan pitched the Ath-
letics past the Braves for the sec-
ond straight day to hand his team-
mates a 10-8 triumph and the Teen-
age League Championship for 1954.
McKeehan who beat the Braves.
9-5, Thursday night came back Fri-
day night to strike out fourteen
batters and allowed the Braves
seven hits in the title game.
The Athletics had to cut off a
wild rally by the Braves in the
top of the seventh to insure their
triumph. he winners were
coasting behind a 10 4 margin go-
ing into th: final but their champ-
ionship house almost crumbled in
that frame.
Jerry Lamm and Leon Holley got
singles to open the inning and
then the Athletic inner defense fell
apart Errors by shortstop Julio
Perez plated two runs and left
Brave runners Jessie Reed and
Walter Scott on third and second.
Charlie Thornton grounded to Mc-
Keehan and the Athletic pitcher
made the play to home plate in
plenty of time. However, a vicious
slide by Reed jarred the ball loose
from catcher Donny McNeal and
by the time McKeehan had recov-
ered it Scott had tallied from sec-
ond and Thornton had raced all
the way to third.
Here, the complexion changed as
in the fourth and pitched good re-
lief ball.
The Braves got two runs back in
the fifth when Eugene Scott dou-
bled with two teammates on base.
The Athletics got what proved
to be the winning tallies in the
sixth on a walk to McKeehan, an
error by Leon Holley on a ground
ball hit by his brother, C. L.; and
a single by Meyer—the only hit
Leon Holley gave up

Pringle Best Bet ^
To Win 20 Games
In Big State Loop
By UNITED PRESS
Gayle Pringle, Tyler's ace right-
hander, looms as the best bet to
become the Big State League's
first 20-game winner this season.
The Tiger star moundsman had
16 victories against seven setbacks
in latest official averages and
was the league's top strikeout art-
ist as well with 152 to his credit in
200 innings. On the debit side, he
also has been the wildest man in
the loop with 106 walks issued.
Three pitchers had 14 victories
behinct them — Rafael Ilivas of
Harlingen, Jack Saywer of Waco
and Jim Vitter of Corpus Christi,
but the top record was owned by
Waco's Ron Sheet/, who had a 13-3
won-loss figure, a shade better
than teammate Don Kildoo's 1-2
mark.
In the offensive department,
Jack Falls of Waco slipped seven
points during the week, but still
held onto the batting leadership by
a comfortable margin with a .379
average.
