attraction — Los Angeles at Port

but in the games that were played
Hollywood beat Sacramento 6-3,
Oakland trounced Seattle 7-2 and
San Francisco thumped San Diegc
14-3.
With Portland and Los Angeles
idle, the evening of play left the
Beavers in the number one spot, a
full game ahead of Sacramento,
with Los Angeles two games off the
pace in third place.
Fourth place Oakland, cashed in on^
the wildness of Seattle starter Marv
Grissom. Jim Rivera, Seattle’s phe
nomenal centerfielder, slammed his
sixth roundtripper of the season in
the fifth inning. Otherwise, Oakland
pitcher Earl'Harrlst had little trou
ble subduing the Rayiiers.
The surprise Hollywood victory
over Sacramento may have cost the
Stars the services of Jack Salveson.
mainstay of the Hollywood pitching
corps, for the rest or the season.
Manager Fred Haney said Salve
son’s arm went dead in the seventh
inning and he asked to be taken
out of the game. He complained of a
sharp pain in his right elbow.
However, Salveson was credited
with the win, his fifth of the seaeen
against two defeats. The triumph
snapped Sacramento’s six game
winning streak.

DARK LEADS
GIANTS IN
COMEBACK
By Associated Press
With A1 Dark hitting .370, Leo
Durocher is leading his New York
Giants back from the National
League boneyard.
Dark, not Bobby Thomson or
Monte Irvin, is the bag man in the
Giants bounce-back surge after their
embarrassing start. Since the club
broke its 11-game losing streak. Dark
has averaged .486 at the plate in the
last 11 games.
Now they're only four games out
of first place.
Everybody expected the solid
eastern clubs to fatten on their
weak western brethren. So what
happened? Only the Giants did
themselves any good in the first in
tersectional series.
Boston and Brooklyn settled for
.500 against the west and the de
fending champion Phillies wobbled
around at a 4-6 pace.
The Gianty comeback was ex
pected. By winning nine of 11 they
almost wiped out the memory of
their horrible start.
Dark took matters into his own
hands while the west visited the
Polo Grounds. Twice he had four
hits. He hammered two grand slam
homers and he drove in 14 runs in
the last nine games while his buddy,
Eddie Stanky, continued to get on
base every game with a hit or walk.
Dark had a hand in all the Giants
runs in yesterday’s 3-2 win over
the flu-riddled St. Louis Cardinals.
He singled in the first and rode
home on Hank Thompson’s home
run blast into the right field seats.
In the third he doubled and scored
the run that proved decisive on Ray
Noble’s single.
Cincinnati tightened the race by
knocking off the leading Boston
Braves, 4-1, on Ewell Blackwell’s 7
hit pitching. The loss left the Braves
in first place by one game.
Brooklyn crowded closer to the
Braves by bumping Chicago, 6-1. It
was Don Newcombe’s first win in
almost three weeks.
Pittsburgh, a distant eighth last
year, wound up a successful tour by
shutting out the Phillies, 2-0, on
Murry Dickson’s four-hitter.
All American League games were
postponed. It was too cold for Wash
ington at Detroit and too rainy for
Boston at Chicago, New York at
Cleveland and Philadelphia at St.
Louis.

Move from
St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, May 11 — Ifll—'Talk
that the American League Browns
may be moved out of St. Louis
rumbled through the baseball world
yesterday like an avalanche touched
off by a loose boulder.
You just don't pick up your mar
bles and go home if you’re unhappy
in organized baseball. The entire
complicated structure shakes when
a stone is dislodged.
There was proof of that in reac
tion to a report that the Browns,
seeking solvency, may stake a claim
elsewhere. Wilwaukee was mention
ed as pay dirt territory.
A possible move to that city was
denied by club owners Bill and
Charley Dewitt. They conceded,
-however, that'poor attendance here
might force the team out of St.
Louis.
Bill said the Browns are not for
sale, that a price has never been
put on the club. But he quickly
added that if an attractive offer is
made “we would have to listen at
tentively.”
The Browns, tied with Philadel
phia for last place, have drawn only
44,192 customers in 12 games at
home this season.

BOSTON BRAVES TO
UNWRAP WILSON IN
HOT WEATHER TIME
BOSTON, May 11 —!#l—- Come
hot weather and the front-running
Boston Braves will take the wraps
off Jim Wilson, the $100,000 right- ]
hander they rate as their fifth po
tential 20-game winner.
For the past three weeks that
expensive Seattle purchase has been
nursing an aching pitching arm un
der the close supervision of Bucky
Walters, the astute keeper or the
Tribal bullpen.
"Wilson's throwing nice and easi
ly now and he'll be ready to bear
down hard as soon as we get some
real hot weather," Walters promised.
Although Wilson, previously up
with the Red Sox, Browns and Ath
letic". has pitched only three regu
lation innings to date, the Braves
bosses are convinced they got a bar
gain after cut-bidding a half-doren
rivals.
"He had a sore arm wnen he beat
fhc Giants, 8-2, in relief,” Manager
Billy Southworth explained. "When
Jim is right. I'm certain he will be
ab'e to hold his own with Vern
Bickford, Warren Spahn, Max Sur
kont and Johnny Sain,”
He won 24 and lost 11 last year
at Seattle.
