Harvey Haddix went the distance as the St. Louis Cardinals rallied
impressively to win in dramatic style over Philadelphia Phillies, 5 to
3.
St. Louis came up with the deciding runs in the bottom of the 9th inning when
they scored 4 runs on 3 hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Stan
Musial who excited the crowd when he cleared the bases with a Grand Slam
homerun (his 16th of the season). Although they lost, Philadelphia did
out-hit St. Louis 13 to 8.
Haddix(7-6) allowed 3 runs on the game. Jack Meyer(3-5) was given the loss in
relief. Harry Walker was all smiles after the ballgame, 'It sure was looking
pretty dim there for a while, but our guys never gave up - and neither did
our fans - they kept cheering us on. What a sweet win!'
Johnny Antonelli throws a three hitter leading the Giants over the Redlegs 3-1ending Cincinnati's 6 game winning streak.

PASSED BALLS- H.Landrith
Johnny Antonelli hurled a 3 hitter as the New York Giants beat the Cincinnati
Redlegs by a score of 3 to 1.
Cincinnati never recovered after New York took the lead in the top of the 6th
inning plating an isolated run using 2 hits. After two outs Don Mueller
doubled. Willie Mays stepped into the batter's box and he was walked
intentionally. Bobby Hofman then slapped a base-hit, and an error was also
committed, scoring the run. The game was a scoreless duel until the 6th
inning.
The victory was credited to Antonelli(5-6) who went the distance, allowing 1
run. Jackie Collum(0-2) was hit with the loss.
'All of my pitches were working tonight,' Antonelli said. 'I felt really good
out there, and heck, I think I could have gone longer.'
Ernie Banks homers twice driving in 6 runs as the Cubs trounce the Dodgers 9-4.

Ernie Banks smacked 2 homeruns and Warren Hacker allowed Stan Hack to rest his
bullpen, tossing a complete game as the Chicago Cubs outscored the Brooklyn
Dodgers 9 to 4.
Banks was a one-man wrecking crew. He launched a rocket-shot out of the park
for a Grand Slam homerun in the 1st inning, banged out a single in the 3rd
inning and blasted a two-run home run (his 17th of the season) in the 7th
inning. Chicago banged out 10 on the afternoon.
Hacker(2-6), allowing 4 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Don
Newcombe(8-3) suffered the loss. The Chicago ballclub's record now stands at
31-34. With the loss, Brooklyn has a record of 7-3 lately, 42-21 overall.
