GAMES TODAY
CHICAGO. Aug. 3—(M—Randy
Gumpert blanked the Philadelphia
Athletics today as the Chicago
White Sox snared the odd game of
the three-game series with a 1-0
victory before 2,259 persons today.
The lone run was the result of
Eddie Robinson’s triple, and Hank
Majeski’s single in the seventh in
ning as Chico Carrasquel, the Chi
cago shortstop, hit safely in his
twenty-second straight game with a
sixth inning single—one of Chi
cago’s five hits.
BOSTON, Aug. 3—The Boston
Braves supported righthander Vern
Bickford with three home runs to
day as he tamed the St. Louis
Cardinals, 5-1, with a four-hit pitch
ing performance. The win, the
Braves’ third in a four-game series,
boosted them over the idle Brook
lyn Dodgers in the National League's
runner-up berth.
At Lake Success Russia's effort
to seat Red China in the Security
Council in a peace deal on Korea
appeared doomed by the solid op
position of seven nations. On the
third day of debate scheduled today
chief interest turned on the stand
India will take.
Unexpected Welcome
First troops of the II. S. First Cavalry division reaching a town
near the beachhead at Poliang in South Korea ran into an un
pec ted welcome. Nobody seemed to know whether the misspelled
sign was erected just before the secret amphibious operation or
whether it remained in place after serving to welcome an American
unit which previously entered the town. i/P) Wirepholo via radio from
