THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 20: 1956 Bums Top - Cards, 17-2; Newt be Wins 25th BROOKLYN, ept. 19 (a')—Don Newcombe became Brooklyn's first 25-game win ner in 32 years as the Dodgers rolled up their highest run total of the year to overwhelm the St. Louis Cardinals 17-2 today and grasp a half-game lead over Milwaukee. The Braves met the Pirates in Pittsburgh tonight. The big righthander, whose only defeat in his last 17 decisions since July 4 was a 1-0 loss to Johnny Antonelli and the New York Giants, was a one-man gang as the Dodgers clubbed five' Redhird hurlers for 17 hits, in-' chiding four home runs and four, doubles. Newcombe hurled only seven in nings before Manager Walter AI-1 ston wisely decided to rest his ace, pitcher for the tough grind ahead.' Before Don left, however, he not only had stifled the Cards with seven hits but he had taken charge' at the plate as well, clouting a pair of home runs and a single to drive in three runs. In addition. he stole a "base and executed a fine defensive play. Home runs accounted for both Cardinal runs. Alvin Dark reached the left-field seats in the first inning and Stan Musial smashed his 26th of the year over the rightfield screen in the sixth. Brooklyn scored in five of , the first six innings, knocking out starter Tom Poholsky in the third, then shelling Lindy Mc- Daniel and Willard Schmidt with an eight-run assault in the fifth that represented its larg est scoring inning of the season. Don Bessent finished up for ,Newcombe who became the first Dodger pitcher to win 25 games (since Hall of Famer Dazzy Vance won 28 games in 1924. The only 25-game winners in the National League in the past 20 years be sides Newcombe have been Robin Roberts of Philadelphia, 28 in 1952; Bucky Walters and Paul Derringer of Cincinnati, 27 and 25, respectively, in 1939; and Carl Hubbell of New York, 26 in 1936. Duke Snider cracked four singles, drove in Three runs and scored twice. Randy Jackson knocked in four runs with two doubles and a sacrifice fly. Besides Newcombe's pai r, Sandy Amoros and rookie Don Demeter hit homers for the Dodgers. Dark made two errors in vital spots to make the Dodgers' task easier. He threw poorly on a dou ble play ball in the first inning to let one run in and set up another. In the Dodgers' big fifth, only one of the eight runs was earned. With one run in on Amoros' homer, the bases loaded and two out, the Cardinal shortstop fum bled Pee Wee Reese's grounder, one run scoring. The Dodgers then cracked through for six more to clinch the game, tviilwaukee To Go With 'Big Three' PITTSBURGH, Sept. 19 (/P)— Bo .1 Buhl, Lew Burdette and War ren Spahn will do the starting for the Milwaukee Braves the rest of the way in their stretch drive to ward the National League pen nant. "I'll go with my regulars," said Manager Fred Haney today before the series finale with Pittsburgh. "Buhl, Burdette and Spahn but I'm not going to let any game get out of hand. Conley in Bullpen "Gene Conley will be in the bullpen. At times Gene has shown his good fast ball but his down fall has been lack of control on his breaking stuff. "Burdette had good stuff last night, faster than he has been al though his control was off. Buhl was as fast as any pitcher I ever saw the other day, but he has been wild too." Spahn Big Saver Spahn, of course, has , been the big "saver" for the Braves in the last few days. He won his 200th at Philadelphia last week, earned Milwaukee a split by taking the second game of Monday's twinight double and then stopped the Pir ates in relief last night. The vet eran lefty came in with two on and one out in the ninth to strike out Dale Long and get Dick Groat on a fly ball to Billy Bruton. Looking back at last night's game, Haney said, "The strikeout of Long and Bobby Tohmson's perP!ct bunt were the big plays." Thomson's sacrifice in the eighth set the stage for Johnny Logan's two-run single that over came a 4-3 Pirate lead.

Sat. in Tyrone it's THE VILLA RESTAURANT 'Thumper' Still Needs 28 At Bats CHICAGO, Sept. 19 (.4 3 )—If the remarkable Ted Williams of • the Boston Red Sox is to edge New York's Mickey Mantle and win his fifth American League batting ti tle this season, he will have to get to bat officially at least 28 times in Boston's eight remaining con tests. Next year, it could be different, with a move afoot to count all plate appearances, including wplks, sacrifice hits, etc., in the at-bat total for championship rat ings. Rule 10 Be Followed But League President Will Har ridge ascertained today that the present scoring rule requiring 400 official AB's would be "strictly" observed in the current batting showdown between Williams and sugger Mantle of the Yankees. At the moment, Williams with 132 hits in 372 official trips for a .355 average holds a five-point margin over Mantle, who has ,181 hits in 517 AB's for .350. Accord ing to unofficial statistics, Wil liams has walked 90 times and been given 11 intentional walks through Sept. 9 against 106 strolls and 6 intentional passes for Man tle through Sept. 13. Objections Voiced Harridge said the objections to the 400 AB requirement have been voiced on the ground the rule could be circumvented by a pitch er deliberately walking a batter, or a hitter—in the last day or two of the season—striking out on any kind of pitch to guarantee an of ficial AB.

SHADLE ASSOCIATES ' "The House of High Fidelity" Hosterman Stresses Conditioning at Drills Conditioning is still the by-word on the soccer practice turf adjacent to the golf course, where coach Ken Hosterman puts his 1956 soccermen through daily drills in preparation for the season inaugural against Bucknell University. Sep tember 29. Hosterman, like many of his contemporaries, is a strong advocate of a rigorous training system. He believes that a team in the best physical condition can often defeat an opponent who is stronger-but-less-conditioned. Intrasquad scrimmages have also been receiving quite a bit of attention at the practice ses sions. It is front these scrimmages that Hosterman will have to base his starting selections upon. Hosterman Impressed The Lion mentor is quite im pressed over the showings of two sophomores, Per Torgeson and Mike Stollmeyer during the scrimmages. Both men are poten tial starters. Torgeson is in .con tention for both the center half back and center forward posi tions. Stollmever is battling for a front line seat Captain Steve Flamporis is the only sure starter. He will be in one of the halfback slots. Walt! Krauser, Ward Hill, Herb Hert-: ner and Paul Bauer are also pos sible halfback nominees. Krauser, and Hill are lettermen while the' other two are sophomores. Fullback Spot Open Cal Emery and lettermen Ralph, Brower, and Dave Davis are the three top fullback contenders. Emery, according to Hosterrnan, has shown the most iMprovement since practice opened, last Wed nesday. Other fullback possibilities in clude junior Warren Dutro and; sophomore Don Meyer. Meyer I could also break into the lineup as a halfback. The front line positions are also wide open. Tom Nute Jim Hed berg, Tom Benford, Harold Walz, Dave Haas, Torgeson, and Stoll meyer are on the inside track for these spots. The first four won monograms in 1955 and Haas is an Armed Forces veteran. Lawrence Holds Edge Senior letterwinner John Law rence holds the edge in the goalie department but Jerry Bruce and Don Dougald are pressing him. Bruce is a junior and Dougald a soph. Among the other men capable of breaking into the starting line up are Tony Tremonte, Jim Ed monds, Bob Wittmeir, Otto Ros enberger, and Bruce Walsh. Jim Litterio was being counted upon by Hosterman to take up the slack in the wing positions but he has not appeared for prac tice vet.
