WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Roy McMillan robbed Harry Elliott of a base hit.
At Crosley Field the slumping St. Louis Cardinals were battered 13 to 6 by the
Cincinnati Redlegs.
Cincinnati came up with 5 runs in the 6th inning. The key at-bat was by Milt
Smith who made the crowd come alive when he smacked a three-run homer (his
3rd of the season). The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands
5 times.
Joe Black(9-1) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory. Paul
Lapalme(3-5) was given the loss in relief. He was pinned with the loss
despite not allowing an earned run in his 1 inning of work.
With this win, Cincinnati has a 74-50 record. They have been 7-3 lately.
With the loss, the St. Louis ballclub's record is 49-72.
Bob Buhl pitched a 5 hitter as the Braves edged the Cubs 3-2.

Bob Buhl went 9 strong innings as the Milwaukee Braves defeated the Chicago
Cubs by the score of 3 to 2 at County Stadium.
The game was decided in the bottom of the 8th inning. After two were out
Johnny Logan reached on an error. Bobby Thomson came next and he drew a
walk. George Crowe then drew a walk to load the bases. Chuck Tanner
followed and he drew a walk scoring the run. Chicago had a chance in the 9th
but they came up short.
The win was credited to Buhl(14-6) who went the whole way allowing 2 runs. The
loss was charged to Sam Jones(12-14) in relief. He was the victim of a
defensive lapse and did not allow an earned run in the game.
The Milwaukee ballclub's record now stands at a league leading 80-44. Chicago
has a record of 63-64 after the loss.

Ray Crone was able to finish what he started and was credited with a complete
game and Johnny Logan lofted one into the 'cheap seats' and had 3 RBI at
County Stadium where the very talented Milwaukee Braves beat the Chicago Cubs
7 to 6.
Logan provided much of the offense. He lofted a three-run bomb (his 14th of
the season) in the 1st inning, delivered a base-hit in the 3rd inning and
doubled in the 7th inning. Chicago threatened in the 9th but their rally
came up short.
The victory was credited to Crone(7-6) who went the distance, allowing 6 runs.
Sam Jones(12-13) was given the loss. He got hit hard, allowing 6 hits and 2
walks in 2 innings.
'We didn't get the key hits when we needed them' Stan Hack said. 'We did what
we could, we just didn't pull out the win. What can you say?'

NL Transaction August 20th
Oakland (of the PCL) sold Al Gettel to the St. Louis Cardinals. Gettel, a 7 year veteran, hasn't pitched in the big leagues since the 1951 season. The 37 year old righthander will be immediately put in the bull pen according to skipper Harry Walker.
To make room the Cardinals sent 30 year old righthander Brooks Lawrence to triple A. Lawrence had an outstanding rookie year in 1954, (10-5) with a 3.62 ERA in 18 starts with 10 complete games. This season he has struggled, (4-4) with a 5.36 ERA in 91 innings pitched.
