INJURY REPORT
No injuries to report
Rookie Elston Howard hits a three run homer in the 8th to give the Bronx Bombers a 7-4 win over the Orioles
Strat-O-Matic Report
Eight years after Jackie Robinson broke the color-barrier, Elston Howard became the first African-American to don the Yankees pinstripes. At the beginning of the 1955 season only three teams, out of sixteen, still had yet to field a black ballplayer (Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies).

The Milwaukee Braves pitching coach might be looking for a new job soon. His
team allowed 11 runs while Bob Rush(6-4)with the aid of the bullpen held
Milwaukee to 1 run in a laugher.
Dee Fondy was in a groove all day. He lined a base-hit in the 4th inning,
tripled clearing all three ducks off the pond. in the 5th inning and lofted a
three-run 'big-fly' (his 4th of the season) in the 7th inning. Overall
Chicago out-hit Milwaukee 13 to 8.
Lew Burdette(4-4) took the loss. He was hit hard and gave up 8 hits and 2
walks in 4 innings. 'It's just about getting in a good hitting position and
just going out there and being prepared,' Fondy said. 'You try to hit in your
own capacity and not do too much. I just try to have a good approach, day
after day, game by game, and pitch by pitch.'

The Cardinals fire Eddie Stanky as their skipper.
The St. Louis Cardinals fired manager Eddie Stanky today. Stanky had led the Redbirds to an 18-19 record so far this year. After a quick start the Cardinals have lost 8 of their last 11 games to fall 4th place. Last year St Louis finished 80-74 under Stanky
Replacing him will be Harry Walker. Walker started his career as a Cardinal. He finished his 10 year career with a .296 lifetime average. Harry missed two seasons serving his country in the military during WWII. This will be his first ML managing position.

Center fielder Willie Mays launched 2 homeruns and Jim Hearn delivered 9 solid
innings as the New York Giants topped the Brooklyn Dodgers by a score of 5 to
0 at Polo Grounds.
It was a good day for New York thanks to Mays. He launched a rocket-shot out
of the park for a Grand Slam homerun in the 1st inning and smashed a
solo-shot out of the park (his 11th of the season) in the 4th inning. The
pitchers took over after the 4th inning as neither team was able to score
again.
Hearn(4-4) went the distance for the shutout. Billy Loes(3-2) suffered the
loss. 'When Hearn is on like that it is a tough game to play, no doubt about
it,' Walt Alston said. 'He always pitches well against us.'
