Cardinals Beat Bums Again, Cubs Win Pair
Ex-Outfielder Hal Jeffcoat could land the Chicago Cubs in first division and himself in a fancy five-figure salary bracket all because he had sense enough to attach a 75-cent pitcher's toe plate to his shoe.

Jeffcoat, who made the switch from center field only 13 months ago because he couldn't hit enough, was hitting on all cylinders from the mound today with a perfect 4-0 record and a 2.70 earned run average.
The 30-year-old, right-handed fastballer, whose pitching already has been labeled "strictly first class" by Milwaukee Coach Bucky Walters, an old convert himself, turned in a brilliant double duty effort yesterday in winning one game and saving another as the Cubs swept a twin-bill from the faltering Phillies, 3-2 and 7-5.
The two victories moved Chicago into second place, 7-1/2 games behind Brooklyn, and the two losses gave Wolverine the record of 15 defeats in the last 16 games.
Harvey Haddix and Barney Schultz combined to hold the Dodgers to seven scattered hits and give the Cardinals their fifth straight victory,
12. Errors by Johnny Podres and Pee Wee Reese contributed to the Dodgers' third straight loss. When Brooklyn scored in the fourth, it marked the first run off Cardinal pitching in 26 innings.

Southpaw Johnny Antonelli of the Giants pitched a six-hitter against his former Milwaukee teammates, beating them, 4-2. The Giants wiped out a two-run run when they scored in the sixth on Hank Thompson's single with the bases full followed by Ray Katt's single.
Rudy Minarcin, making his first big league start, pitched Cincinnati to a 5-1 victory over Pittsburgh with the help of Ted Kluszewski's two-run homer and Wally Post's two-run double. Dick Littlefied was the loser.
Cleveland, the pace-setter in the American league, buried Boston under a 19-0 bombing that included homers by Vie Wertz, Ralph Kiner and Hank Majeski. Wertz drove in five runs with a great slam hover and a single out 19 hits, rookie southpaw Herb Seore held the Red box to three safeties and struck out nine.
Mickey Mantle's grand-slam homer in the seventh settled a battle of homers and gave the Yankees an 11-6 decision over the White Sox. Bob Grim was the winner although nicked for two home runs by each of them excl Ty Clint Courtney and Jim Rivera. Eddie Robinson also homered for New York.
Detroit pushed across three runs in the 10th to beat Baltimore, 6-3, rookie Frank Lary gaining the victory after Al Kaline's single in the 10th off loser Ray Moore snapped a 3-all tie.
Dean Stone was staked to a four-run lead in the first inning and held on to it, pitching Washington to a 7-2 victory over Kansas City.
