I JHof Hurlers Unlikely 'Star' Select By United Press International Its an irony of this year's game that two of the majors' pitchers probably will spend July 8 fishing at home instead of pitching in Baltimore. They re Brooks Lawrence of the Cincinnati Redlegs and Jim Bunning of the Detroit Tigers who are making up for slow with mid-summer streaks. starts Lawrence stretched his' winning streak to five games when he piiched a four-hitter that gave the Redlegs a 1-0 victory over M. rlv.lvij UVC1 the Milwaukee Braves Wednesday night while Bunning ran his string to four in a row with four" innl a A 1 hitter that paced the Tigers to a of the Kansas City 5-0 conquest Athiletics. ferent innings, got the game's only run in the thind inning when Johnny Temple doubled, moved to third on an infield out and scored on Gus Bell's sacrifice fly.

The loss cut the Braves' National League lead over the idle second place St. Louis Cardinals to three games. The Red- legs' only two previous victories over Milwaukee this year were scored by Bob Purkey. Cincinnati lost 18 of 22 games to tte world champions last season.

In other American League action, the New York a stretched their first-place lead to 9Vz games with a 4-1 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Senators defeated the Boston Bed Sox, 5-3. Stu Miller gained his second win of the season for San Francisco although Johnny Antonelli got the last out in the by retiring pinch hitter Jim Bolger.

John, 13-12, and Eden whacked St. Paul, 15-10. Frisse, who has been belting opposing flingers as though the boy 'owned" them, Wednesday exploded with a single, triple and pair of home runs in four official trips to the plate in addition to scoring five runs. St. Boniface's 26-hit attack represented 20 safeties greater than the six hits managed by St.

It isn't that Case is untutoied in the world of interstate commerce. He is, after all, a Glendale, Calif, banker, who is interested in oil properties. Nor is Keel a misfit in sports. He played tackle for the University of Tennessee back there in the early 1920's even if he wasn't drafted by the pros.

But Keef, whose speech is often slower than the Boston Marathon, has been known to urge a crowd to vote for another senator--and then call him by the wrong name. And Case's rambling comments on "this feller" and "that other feller" lack the exactness of complicated anti-monopoly legislation. "Well now, Mr. Steinway," Keef might well say, "what do you think of the, uh, special reserve clause?" "Senator," Case could well reply, "ii that clause is unked which is so necessary why this game supporting these fellas might just as well go back to those guys on the reservations."
