Marshall and Gordon, Ex- Giants, Lead Braves to Victory NEW YORK, April 27--(AP) A couple of ex-Giants, Willard Marshall and Sid Gordon, made life miserable for the New Yorkers today as they poled homers to lead the Boston Braves to a 7-3 triumph.

Marshall's blast, a three-run poke that climaxed a five-run spree ic the sixth, put the Braves ahead and enabled them to capture their fourth straight victory. The Giants went down to tfceir ninth straight defeat. Durocher shook up his lineup like mad and for a while it looked like it was going to help. He put Hay Noble in to catch, reinstated Eddie Stanky at second and spotted Jack MaGuire in right field. Noble homered in the fourth and Mavjuire and Stanky hit four-bag- gers in the fifth to give the Giants 3-1 margin over lefty Warren But the Braves caught up to Jim Hearn in the sixth.

Before the inning 1 was over five runners had clattered across the plate. Singles by Sam Jethroe, Earl Torgeson and Bob Elliott, who tiad homered in th seccod inning, sent one run home and Hearn to the showers In favor of Sheldon Jonee. Gordon's walk an Walker Cooper's ground out drove in another run. Marshall then lined his homer into the right field seats for three runs. Gordon iced the cake with a four- bagger in the eigfith.

Spahn, a 21-game winner last year, thus came up with his first win of the year on a five-hitter. He had lost two. Hearn was charged with his second loss against victory.
