2 walks in 6 innings.

reducing his ERA from 5.16 to 4.61. Philadelphia banged out 12 hits on the
afternoon.
Dick Hall(6-6) was charged with the loss. He was touched for 10 hits and 2

Willard Schmidt carried a no-hitter into the 7th inning as the St. Louis
Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Braves 7 to 0 at County
Stadium.
Schmidt(9-4) came through with a virtuoso performance against the Milwaukee
hitters. He surrendered only 1 hit and 1 walk in 9 innings. The
right-handed Schmidt lost his chance for a no-hitter when Eddie Mathews
singled with one out in the 7th inning. St. Louis banged out 9 hits on the
afternoon.
Humberto Robinson(1-1) was tagged with the loss. He was knocked around,
surrendering 7 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings. When questioned about his
counterpart after the game, Robinson was lavish in his praise, 'It was
obvious very early on that we were going to be in for a long night. Schmidt
brought his 'A' game with him - he had good stuff and was able to spot it
perfectly. He probably only made one or two bad pitches the entire game!
Jackie Robinson homers and has 3 RBI as the Dodgers down the Giants 8-2.

Ted Kluszewski had 4 hits and 3 RBI and Johnny Klippstein went 9 strong
innings as the Cincinnati Redlegs topped the Chicago Cubs by a score of 10 to
2 at Wrigley Field.
Kluszewski led the offense for Cincinnati. He laced a base-knock in the 1st
inning, delivered a single in the 5th inning, smashed a two-run homer (his
45th of the season) in the 7th inning and doubled knocking in a run in the
9th inning. Cincinnati finished with 14 hits in the victory.
The victory went to Klippstein(9-8) who went the distance allowing 2 runs. Bob
Rush(13-13) was hit with the loss. Cincinnati scored big getting 8 runs off
him in 6 and 2/3 innings.
'All of my pitches were working today,' Klippstein said. 'I felt really good
out there, and heck, I think I could have gone longer.'
