Red Hot Phillies Edge Giants
5 -4, In Eleven Inning Brawl
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12— (AP) —Fists flew and tempers flared Saturday as the
|.ague-leading Philadelphia Phillies edged the New York Giants, 5-4,in 11 inninygs.
The rhubarb occurred in the fourth inning and led indirectly to the winning of the
came. In the fourth catcher Andy Seminick of the Phils and Bill Rigney of the Giants
“vere banished for fighting,
stan Lopata replaced Seminick
pehind the bat for the Phils and
iripled and scored the winning run
in the 11th. Lopata connected with
one out against reliefer David Kos
lo. Koslo intentionally passed the
next two hitters to load the bases
put £4 Waitkus sent a fly to cen
tertield and Lopata scored after
the eatch. ;
Before the booting of Rigney and
seminick, Ed Stanky of the Giants
was heaved out for waving his
arms at second base to distract the
philadelphia batters. Stanky had
lone this against the Phils and
praves previously and before the
ame it was announced he would
hold off this tactic today. The
(iiants played the rest of the game
under protest following Stanky’s
removal, There’s nothing in the
rules to prevent such a maneuver,
Seminick incurred the wrath of
the Giants as early as the second
inning when he bumped hard into
third baseman Hank Thompson,
Thompson was knocked out and
removed from the game, In the
fourth, Seminick got on base on an
error. Mike Goliat then bounced to
Alvin Dark who tossed to Rigney
o force Seminick, Seminick slid
hard into Rigney and the two
swapped punches.
The Phils jumped on starter
Sheldon Jones for three runs in
the second to take a 3-1 lead. The
Giants tied it against Robin Rob
erts with two in the sixth and
took a 4-3 lead on Bob Thomson’s
homer in the seventh. The Bhils
evened it in the last of the sev
enth,
Allie Reynolds, in constant dif
ficulty because of wildness, had it
in the clutch as he pitched the New
York Yankees to a 7-2 victory
over the Philadelphia Athletics.
Reynolds walked seven batters
and allowed nine hitfs in turning in
his 10th victory against the same
number of losses.
The big righthander also got the
Yank scoring underway in the
second inning when he singled
with the bases loaded to drive in
the first two runs of a game win
ning five-run rally,
Carl Scheib started for the A’s
and was knecked out in the big
second in favor of little Bobby
Shantz. Shantz smacked a home
run in the fourth to complete the
A’s scoring, Gene Woodling, with
a pair of singles and a home run
led the Yankee attack. Joe DiMag-

Ransom Leads
“Tam” Play;
Has 210 Total
CHICAGO, Aug. 12—(AP)—
Texan Henry Ransom fired a 36-
35—71 for a six-under-par 210
today to hold the 54-hole lead
in the $49,000 Tam O’Shanter
“world” pro golfing championship.
Ransom, who spends his winters
in Dallas and registers out of St.
Andrews near Chicago on the
Tourney circuit, grabbed an early
four-stroke edge over the field
of 32 hand-picked pros shooting
for a SII,OOO first prize.
The 39-year-old Ransqm, sel
dom a winner in 13 years on the
golden trail but nearly always a
money finisher, forfeited par with
three putts on the second hole.
Then he chipped dead for birdie
4 on the ninth for a regulation
front side of 36. :
Other crisp chip shots helped
him snare birdies on the 10th and
15th. His 140-yard second shot
on the 18th was short, and he ev~
entually needed a 5 for an outgo
ing 35.
Locke Has 214
Bobby Locke, winner this week
of Tam’s All-American title,
.moved into a four-way tie in the
214 bracket. Dick Mayer of New

round 72 to match him.
Locke ironed at 36-35—71, over
Tam’s par 36-36—72 acreage for
a 54 hole total of 214, two under
regulation.
Grouped with him at 214, with
half of the field of 32 hot shot
pros still on the course, were
Dutch Harrison, Chicago, with
32-37—69 today, and technicolored
Jimmy Demaret, Ojai, Calif., with
34-36—10.
Ed Furgol of Royal Oak, Mich.,
notched 72 for 215. One stroke be
hind at 216 were Carry Middle

71; and Little Norman Von Nida,
Sydney Australia, with a 69 au
thored by a 32 on the back side.
Henry Ransom of Chicago, the
halfway leader with 139, was still
on fire. He was one under par
through 12 holes. Dick Mayer of
New Greenwich, Conn., alse was
one under for that distance after
posting 142 midway.

1y proved that they have the spirit
as well as the know how to win
ball games yesterday when the¥
clinched the Cub pennant in a
game with the Crackers.
Oddly enough, the Crackers had
held the league lead all summer
until recently when they were
forced to leave the top slot by the
inspired play of the Hardrock ag

cellar team in the league, but in
last minute efforts put on the
necessary steam'and stole the flag
right from under the Crackers
nosses. ;
Yesterday’s tilt was a real bat
