Third baseman Randy Jackson cracked 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Chicago
Cubs topped the Cincinnati Redlegs by a score of 10 to 5 at Crosley
Field.
Jackson was in a groove all day. The Cincinnati fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box. He doubled knocking in a run in the 2nd
inning, ripped a solo home run in the 5th inning, belted a three-run homer
(his 19th of the season) in the 6th inning and doubled in the 9th inning.
Chicago ended up with 14 hits for the game while Cincinnati had 9.
Bob Rush(14-14) was the winner allowing 3 runs in 7 innings. Art Fowler(15-7)
was the losing pitcher. He was hit hard and gave up 10 hits and 2 walks in 6
innings.
'I just got in the box, looked for a pitch and swung,' Jackson said. 'That's
it'
Willie Mays hit his 48th homer as New York takes the first game of a DH from Philadelphia 4-3.

The St. Louis Cardinals nipped the Milwaukee Braves 3 to 2 at Sportsmans Park
in a hard fought contest.
St. Louis did all of it's offensive work in the 3rd inning when they scored 3
runs on 3 hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Lindy
McDaniel(1-0) and St. Louis. That was all the run support McDaniel required.
Milwaukee had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.
Harvey Haddix earned the save, his 2nd. Ray Crone(8-8) was the loser. He
pitched 6 innings giving up 5 hits and no walks.
Duke Snider had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the Dodgers take the 1st game of a DH with the Pirates 6-5.

Billy Loes took a no-hitter into the 6th inning as the Brooklyn Dodgers
defeated the pitiful Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of 5 to 0 at Forbes
Field.
Loes(8-6) looked very much in control throughout the day. He surrendered only
1 hit and 2 walks in 7 innings. The right-handed Loes lost his no-hit bid
when Bob Friend doubled with one out in the 6th inning. Brooklyn managed 9
hits in their victory.
Friend(9-15) was the losing pitcher. He allowed 7 hits and 3 walks in 8
innings.
Wally Post hit a grand slam in the 3rd inning and the Redlegs hung on to beat the Cubs 6-5.

WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Wally Post robbed Gene Baker of an extra base hit.
The Cincinnati Redlegs scored 4 runs in the 3rd inning and edged the Chicago
Cubs at Crosley Field by the score of 6 to 5.
Wally Post enjoyed a fine day at the plate. He doubled in the 2nd inning and
brought the hometown folks to their feet with a Grand Slammer (his 40th of
the season) in the 3rd inning. Chicago threatened in the 9th but Cincinnati
was able to put down the rally.
Joe Nuxhall(17-16) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 5 runs for the victory.
Nuxhall got relief help from Hersh Freeman who gained credit for his 13th
save. The losing pitcher was Sam Jones(15-17).
