Ad TEH BLYTHEVTLLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE SG, 1954 Giants Keep Rolling On Miracle a Day Again Get Last-Inning Win By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer The New York Giants apparently are going to stay in first place until they run out of miracles. So far their supply has seemed almost unlimited. They pulled another one out of the hat last night, beating their bitter rivals, the Brook- lW Dodgers, 4-3 in 13 innings when Dusty Rhodes delivered a two-out, pinch-hit single with the bases loaded and the Giants a run behind. It was the 10th time this season that the Giants have won in their test chance at bat. Three weeks ago yesterday a ninth-inning double by Monte Irvin drove in two runs for a 6-5 victors' over Milwaukee.

Two days later, still in Milwaukee, rookie'Bill Taylor delivered a pinch homer in the 10th for a 1-0 victory that moved ttie New Yorkers into a first-place tie with Brooklyn. Two In Front Nineteen games later they are two lengths in front of the Dodgers. During that time they've won 16 and lost 3, and six of those victories came in the final inning. Brooklyn twice tried to steal the script last night. Trailing 2-0 after eight innings, the Dodgers kept the game alive as Jackie Robinson singled with out in the ninth and rode home on Roy Campanula's two-out homer over the left field grandstand.

In the top of the 13th rookie Don Hoak sliced a homer into the nearby right field seats. Three Walks And Norm barker's Slugging Rates Big Slice of Credit By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Mobile's once-bumbling Bears have begun to show their claws and husky Norm Larker's slugging rates a big slice of credit for the change. The 23-year-old first baseman walloped two home runs, each with a man on, to help the Bears to a 10-3 victory over Chattanooga last night. In the last eight games, Larker, a six-foot, 180-pourider, has hit at a crisp .500 pace, His 15 hits in 30 trips included five home runs and three doubles and he accounted for 16 RBI's. Travs Win Little Rock and Birmingham also engaged in a home run contest.

The Travs won 15-10 in 10 innings although the Barons had a 3-2 edge in homers. Memphis collected three home runs while whipping the tottering Atlanta Crackers 9-5 and New Orleans trimmed Nashville 6-2 despite a homer by Vol pitcher Tony West. The Travs' extra-inning explosion for four runs, highlighted by Dolph Regelsky's two- run triple, prevented the second-place Barons from moving into a virtual tie with Atlanta for the league lead. with Detroit, winning 5-0 after los- Little Rock's 19-hit attack on four 10-3. The New York Yankees Baron hurlers included homers by Giants sandwiched three walks around two outs and Rhodes turned the crowd of 51,464 into a bedlam with his hit up the middle.

Elsewhere in the National League the Chicago Cubs lost their llth in a row, 7-0 to Milwaukee; Philadelphia whipped Pittsburgh' 4-0: mnd Cincinnati crushed 8t. Louis H-4.

Philadelphia Bhaded Washington 3-2.

Art Houtteman. of the Indians broke a five game Baltimore winning streak with a five-hitter. One of the hits was a single by Dick Kryoski, who stretched his streak to 19 games, longest in the majors this season. White Sox in the first game as Harvey Kuenn opened with a home run and the Tigers added a dozen more hits in piling up their seven run winning margin. Sandy Consuegra checked them on three safeties in the nightcap, which was shortened to eight innings by the league curfew.

Mantle Has Four Mickey Mantle paced the Yankee assault and the Boston pitching corps with four hits in five times up, including a triple. Harry Byrd, unaccustomed to such robust support, weakened and needed help from Tom Gorman. Arnold Portocarrero, a likely looking rookie, won his fifth straight for the Athletes with the help of a Washington error by Mickey Vernon and a triple by Bill Renna. Jim Wilson of the Braves, who was on the market for $10,000 with no takers until he pitched a no- hitter earlier this month, turned in Ralph Atkins and Jake Crawford. It was Atkins' llth of the season and came with two men on.

Atlanta pitching, which has left much to be desired of late, continued to please the opposition and Memphis ranked four Crackers for 15 hits. Sammy Baugh completed 1,709 forward passes during 16 seasons with the Washington Redskins. Sid Luckman of the Chicago Bears completed seven touchdown passes in a 1943 game against the Giants for the League record.

Cards Ship Alston; CallUpCunningham Tom Burgess Also Gets Train Ticket to Rochester CINCINNATI (AP) The St. Louis Cardinals tried out Ralph Beard, a Cincinnati native, on the mound last night, but two innings, three walks and one run later sent him to the showers. Then the Cincinnati Redlegs, facing the more familiar offerings of Al Brazle, plunged ahead for an 11-4 victory and a stronger hold on fifth place. No Hits, But, Beard, making his first start for St.

Louis since coming up from the Columbus, Ohio, club, didn't allow a hit but showed he was wild in the second with a walk and a pitch which hit Johnny Temple on the head. In the third two walks and an error by Torn Alston, later optioned to Rochester, filled the bases. Beard then walked Roy McMillan to force in the run. A single by Gus Bell off reliefer Brazle brought in two runs and McMillan scored on a doubleplay grounder. The Cards, who had one run in the first on Stan Musial's 24th homer, tallied once in the fourth and twice more in the fifth to tie the count before Bell hit a home run to give Cincinnati the lead for keeps.

Rip Repulski drove in both the fifth frame St. Louis runs with a single. The Redlegs scored three in both the seventh ind eighth nings. A hit batsman, a passed ball and another error by Alston contributed to the St. Louis team's troubles.

In addition to Alston the Cardinals optioned Tom Burgess, outfielder, to Rochester and brought up first baseman Joe Cunningham from their New York fmrin club.
