Only hospital attendants were present as Wolgast, once the he had slipped so far that he could not recognize his old friends or recall his days of triumph in the ring. Of German-American ancestry, Wolgast was born in Cadillac, Feb. 8, 1888.

Three home runs in the ninth and 10th innings wrapped it up for the Bruins, who now have won all three of their 1955 games. Randy Jackson's two-run poke in the top of the 10th settled it. The victory kept the Cubs a half-game ahead of Brooklyn and Philadelphia, which made it two straight. The Brooks over powered the victory-less New "York Giants, 10 to 8, and the Phils scored three in the second to beat Pittsburgh, 4 to 3.

Louis swatted five of the seven home runs in the contest to knock off Milwaukee, 8 to 7, in 11 innings. The Cubs wouldn't have needed the late-inning heroics except for two unearned runs scored by the Redlegs in the seventh. Reliefer Hal Jeff coat, the outfielder-turned-pitcher, hit a home run in the top of the ninth for a 3-2 Chicago lead, but Gus Bell, who earlier had two singles and a double, tied It a seond time in the home half with a solo shot. Ernie Banks followed Jack-sen's blast off ex-Cub Johnny Klippstein with one of his own to salt away the decision for Jeffcoat. Howard Pollet pitched the 10th, when Cincinnati managed to score once.

Brooklyn and Don Newcombe watched as the Giants hoisted the NL pennant and world championship flag in pregame ceremonies, then impressed upon the Yorkers that that was all last year's stuff. EWCOMB homered twice he had hit just tne major league home run previously and Roy Campanella and Carl Furillo each swatted three-run blasts for the Dodgers. The Brooks got rid of Sal Maglie, usually a toughie, with- in five innings, but had to hoist Newcombe for Jim Hughes when the Giants threatened on homers by Hank Thompson and Bobby Hofman in the late stages. Willie Jones' first homer set off the Phils' three-run second inning and Herm Wehmeier held on the rest of the way. A preceding double play made Preston Ward's home run harmless in the last of the ninth.

Rookie Ramon Mejias also homered for the Bucs. Dick Littlefield was the loser. The Cardinals came from five i The Dayton Guarantee the full guarantee!
