A's, Phils Lose Again; Indians Top Yanks
By far the proudest guy in baseball today was George Freese of the Pirates, who neither rooms with his kid brother, Gene, nor runs around with him, but openly roots for him with a passion that surpasses even brotherly love. $ \textcircled{*} $
The 28-year-old George had a grin on his face a mile wide when 21-year-old Gene bashed his first Major League grand slam homer last night in an eight-run eighth inning that powered Pittsburgh to a 9 to 6 victory over Milwaukee.
While the Pirates' fortunes seem on the way up, the Phillies' fortunes continue to go down. Mayo Smith's charges dropped their 10th straight game when they were beaten, 5-3, by the Cardinals on Bill Virdon's 10th inning homer. Rookie southpaw Luis Arroyo limited the Phils to five hits, including a homer by Del Ennis, in snapping St. Louis' seven-game losing streak.
Brooklyn kept rolling along with its 22nd victory in 24 starts as big Don Newcombe faced only 27 men and pitched a one-hitter in beating the Cubs, 3-0. The shutout was the first for Newcombe since Sept. 29, 1951 and ran his lifetime record over Chicago to 11-0.
Portocarrero Shelved by Arm
Baltimore —(U)P)— Arnold Portocarrero, 23-year-old Kansas City Athletics pitcher, has been placed on the 30-day disabled list because of a torn muscle in his right arm. The injury was discovered by Dr. George Bennett at Johns Hopkins hospital when he examined him yesterday. Portocarrero, who had a 9-18 won-lost record in 1954, lost three games this year without a victory.

HEY DROODLE BUGS! HERE'S ANOTHER BATCH!
WHAT'S THIS? For solution see paragraph below.
YOU GET A GOOD CLOSE-UP of college smokers' preference for Luckies in the Droodle at right, captioned: Lucky Strike column in a college cigarette-vending machine. On campuses all over America, college students automatically get Luckies. Why? Simply because Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then that tobacco is toasted to taste better. "It's Toasted"—the famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies' good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better...
cleaner, fresher, smoother. Next time it's light-up time, why don't you pull for Luckies?
