Nicholson
Homers,
Phils Win
BROOKLYN, July B.—
(AP) — Big Bill Nicholson
and Jim Konstanty, two vet
erans on Philadelphia’s
amazing whiz kids, teamed
up yesterday to give the
Pihls a 4-1 victory over the
Brooklyn Dodgers and undis
puted possession of first
place in the National Lea
gue pennant race.
Nicholson delivered a game win
ning three-run pinch-homer with
two out in' the ninth inning. Iti
marked the second time this sea
son that the 35-year-old Nicholson |
had beaten the Dodgers with a
pinch-homer. He previously per-‘
formed the feat on July 2 with a
two-run blast in the eighth inning!
to giev the Phils a 6-4 victory. |
The Phils, who had been tied
with St. Louis for the top perch,
assumed sole command as the
Cards bowed to the last place Pi
rates at Pittsburgh, 7-6.
Konstanty, 33-year-old right
hand relief ace, checked the Dodg
ers on one hit after starter Robin
Roberts left for a pinch-hitter in
the eighth inning. The appear
ance was Konstanty's 35th and the
civtory his seventh.
Brooklyn’s Don Newcombe also
pitched well until the ninth. He
blanked the Phils on three hits
going into the eighth when Richie
Ashburn tied the score with a
home run,
Willie Jones doubled with one
out to start the Phils’ ninth inning
raliy. After Dick Sisler popped
out, Newcombe intentionaliy
walked Andy Seminick to get at
the weak hitting Mike Goliat.
Phil Manager Ed Sawyer count
ered by lifting Goliat in favor of
Nicholson and “Old Swish” came
through with a home run over the
score board in right field.
The Detroit Tigers, handcuffed
for six innings by righthander
Steve Gromek of the Cleveland
Indians, shelled him from the
mound in a five-run, five-hit sev
enth inning to win 5-4 and in
crease their American League lead
to four and a half games.
The Indians built an early four
cun lead on successive homers by
Like Easter and Larry Doby in
the third and by Joe Gordon in
the fourth. They added a fourth
run in the seventh on a two-base
error and Easter’s single.
That lead looked mighty big the
way Gromek was going for he had
a no-hitter until Geoge Kell sin
gled with two out in the sixth in
ning. - .
The big Tiger uprising was en
lvened by a multi-sided argument
over Kell’'s game-winning single
that scooted along the third base
line with Johnny Lipon scoring
the winning run.
Indian third baseman Al Rosen
protested the ball was foul and
had to be restroined by his team
mate, pitcher Jim Hegan, as he
tried to get at plate umpire Ed
Hurley.
Hurley climaxed that portion of
the argument by giving what most
of the fans and Tiger manager Red
Rolfe thought was the old heave
sign to the irate Rosen. Manager
Lou Boudreau joined the heated
discussions and when it was over,
Rosen was back on third.
That brought Rolfe out of the
Tiger dugout to protest that Hur
ley had reversed his decision and
before the battle of words was
over, Rolfe was tossed out of the
game for the first time this year.
Hal Newhouser, although tagged
for the three home runs, got credit
for his eighth win as against five
losses. :
The Boston Red Sox turned back
the New York Yankees, 4-2, with
stock Vern Stephens supplying the
margin of victory with 2 two-run
horaer, liis 18th of the season.,
Stephens unloaded in the sixth
inning with Ted Williams aboard
off All-Star game pitcher Vie
Raschi. The blow snapped a 2-2
tle and gave Walt Masterson his
fourth victory and second at the
/

fortably ahead in the race for the

expense of the Yanks.
Masterson held the Yanks to
one hit over the first three in
nings but wilted a bit in the fourth
when the Yanks tied the score on
two singles, a walk and double
play.
Jack Phillips, a reserve infield
er and pitcher, smashed a pinch
hit grand slam homer into the
Pirate bullpen in the ninth inning
to give Pittsburgh a dramatic 7-6
edge over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cards, knocked out of first
place by the Pirates’ 9-1 win last
night, had a 6-3 lead going into
the ninth.
A walk to Wally Westlake and
singles by Pete Castiglione and
Pinch hitter Hank Scenz set the
stage for Phillips’ jackpot homer.
At first no one was sure wheth
er Phillips had a home run. Stan
Musial appeared to have snatched
the ball in his gloved hand. All
runners held up. Then one of the
catchers in the Pirate bull pen
held up the missing ball. Musial
apparently had tipped the ball
over the fence.
Ralph Kiner slapped his 24th
home run of the season in the
fourth. He is now eight days ahead
of his pace last year when he fin
ished the season with 54. ‘
Herman Wehmeier scattered
nine hits and led the Cincinnati
Reds to a 5-1 triumph over the
Chicago Cubs today. It was the
seventh win for the Reds in nine
engagements with the Cubs this
year, and Wehmeier’s seventh vic
tory.
Cincinnati routed Johnny
Schmitz in the first inning for his
sixth defeat. Schmitz walked
across a run on Johnny Worostek’s
double and three passes.
Wyrostek led Cincinnati's 12-
hit assault with two doubles and
a single.
Lloyd Merriman, outfielder for
the Cincinnati Reds who inter=
rupted a football career at Stan
ford to sign a bonus contract, re
turned to his alma mater and
earned a bachelor of science de
