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,

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.
Soccer Managers
A" sophomore candidates for
soccer managers should report
anytime this week to The Ath
letic Association Office in Rec
reation Hall. All candidates
must have a 2.0 All-University
average.

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.

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.
