Bums, Cubs Win in N.L.; K.C. Loses to Senators
The second-place Chicago Cubs are being tagged the "surprise team" of 1955 so far but they're certainly no surprise to Manager Stan Hack, who drew a lot of horse laughs in the spring when he predicted they might wind up in first division.
Last season, for example, the Cubs didn't win a game in Philadelphia, but last night they swept their three-game series with the Phillies by winning a game that was suspended Sunday, 4-2, and then beating Robin Roberts, 2-1, in the regular scheduled contest.
Warren Hacker, making his first appearance on the mound since pulling a hamstring muscle in his leg April 24, closed out the suspended game by pitching the ninth inning and then kept right on going with a fine four-hit effort in the regulation game.
Carl Furillo smashed his eighth home run with one man on in the 12th inning to break up a tense pitching duel between Carl Erskine and Gene Conley and give Brooklyn a 2-0 triumph over Milwaukee. Until the 12th, Conley had yielded only three hits but in that inning he walked Jackie Robinson with one out and then yielded the home run to Furillo. Erskine allowed six hits and struck out six in registering his fourth victory without a setback The triumph gave Brooklyn a six-game lead in the National league.
Bob Purkey, steadily developing into Pittsburgh's No. 1 pitcher, paced the Pirates to a 5-1 victory over the Cardinals. In registering his second victory in less than a week, the 23-year-old Purkey, who won only three games all last season, scattered seven hits and collected three himself. Harvey Haddix was the loser.
The Giants and Redlegs weren't scheduled.
Early Wynn, one of Cleveland's big three, finally won his first game, beating the Red Sox, 4-2, with a six-hit effort. The Indians, held to four hits by loser Russ Kemmerer, Skinny Brown and Tom Hurd, won the game in the first inning on a double by Al Smith, a walk and Dave Pope's homer.
Detroit took possession of second dians with a 7-1 victory over the place behind the pace-sitting In-Yankees, who tumbled to fourth place behind the idle White Sox.
Steve Gromek held New York to six hits in registering the 17th win of his career over the Yankees against 10 defeats. Bob Wiesler started for the Yankees and gave up two runs, enough to lose the game, in the first inning on Harvey Kuenn's single, a walk and Ferris Fain's double.
