Pirates Edge Chicago Giants Blank Braves
New York—(U.P.)—Fred Haney, Pittsburg's "Pollyanna" who insists the Pirates aren't as bad a ball club as a lot of people think, rode the express elevator up to seventh heaven today—just because of a two-game winning streak. $ \textcircled{*} $
And what is so exciting about two straight victories? Well, that just equalled the longest winning streak of the 1952 Pirates, so if the Bucs could just win again today from Cincinnati, there would be dancing in the streets out Pittsburgh way.
Rookie Frank Thomas broke up yesterday's game with the Cubs, hitting a two-run homer in the ninth to give the Bues a 4-2 triumph. The kid rightfielder also hit a grand slam homer last week to provide a victory over the Giants.
Paul Minner drove in both Cubs runs with a triple. Elroy Face, the little right hander Pittsburgh picked up in the baseball draft meetings from the Dodger organization last winter, was the winner in a relief role.
In other National League games, Bobby Thomson hit a ninth inning homer to give the Giants a 1-0 decision over the Braves; the Dodgers made it four straight victories with a 7-4 series sweeper over Cincinnati, and the Cardinals-Phillies night game at Philadelphia was halted after innings because of the score tied at 1-1. All the action counts in the official averages, but the game must be re-played completely.
The Yankee youth movement took over in a 6-1 victory at Chicago that featured steady eight-hit pitching
by Whitey Ford and a homer, triple, and single by rookie outfielder Bill Renna, who made his first big league start. In the only other American League game, three-hit pitching by Virgil Trucks and Bob Elliott's three-run homer in the seventh gave the Browns a 3-1 night triumph over the Washington Senators.
Thomson's smash broke up a scoreless pitching battle between winner Sal Magile and loser Vern Bickford at the Polo Grounds.
Trucks and Chuck Stobbs of the Senators put on a fine pitching duel at St. Louis. Stobbs had allowed just one hit until the seventh. Then Johnny Groth got a scratch single, shortstop Pete Runnels booted Bill Hunter's grounder for an error, and Jim Dyck bunted safely. Vic Wertz hit into a double play but Elliott followed with his victory homer.
Mickey Mantle also hit a homer for the Yankees, which touched off a rhubarb because the muscular switcher didn't hit it out of sight as usual. The ball hit the wall in left center but Mantle was awarded a homer because of interference. The decision angered White Sox manager Paul Richards, who was ejected from the game after he jostled umpire Jim Duffy.
White Sox Manager Faces Heavy Fine
Chicago (U.P.)—American League president Will Harridge, who yesterday imposed the heaviest mass fines in league history, had a chance today to leave another imposition. The possible victim this time was Chicago White Sox manager Paul Richards, who objected vehemently yesterday to a ruling by umpire Jim Duffy which gave Mickey Mantle a homer.

Saints, Blues Still Rolling
By UNITED PRESS
St. Paul, winner of six of its last seven games, saw its habit of hitting the big innings pay off today as manager Clay Bryant's crew nursed a one-and a half game first place lead.
The Saints rallied for seven runs in the fourth inning against Charleson last night for an 11-8 victory, while second-place Indianapolis fell to Kansas City. The St. Paul lead was the widest posted in the league yet this year.
The Columbus Red Birds replaced slumping Louisville in third place by knocking off Minneapolis, 5-2 as Miller pitchers walked 16 batters. Although outhit nine to four, the Birds scored three times in the first inning on three walks, a hit batsman, and a single by Russ Derry.
The Kansas City Blues pushed Indianapolis further behind by an 8-4 victory. It was the fifth victory in the last six outings for the Blues and upped them from sixth to fifth.
Mexico City—(U.P.)-Dave Douglas of Newark, Del., shared the lead with a 35-year-old Mexican caddy at the start of second round play today in the Pan American golf tournament.
Caddy Starring In Golf Tourney
Margarito Martinez, a husky bag-torer from Mexico City, and Douglas each turned in three-under-par 69's in yesterday's opening round to take a commanding lead over favored Ben Hogan and other stars from north of the border.
Hogan, the center of a dispute which found some U.S. players "boy-cotting" the tournament, opened with an even-par 72. But the tiny Texan was not the only player who experienced trouble over the tough Mexico Golf Club course.

Louisville — (U,P) — Native Dancer, never beaten in his racing career, will find out today what he has to beat to win the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
Native Dancer Derby Pick Tomorrow
It looked like 11 other three-year-olds would be named to compete against him but only four of them were given a chance to bring his brilliant string of 11 straight triumph to an end.
They are correspondent, Royal Bay Gem, Dark Star, winner of the Derby trial, and Straight Face, a son of Count Fleet who was one of the best horses ever to win the Derby.
Palmquist Running Again
Keith Palmquist, Minneapolis, Minn., senior, who has been shelved with shin-splints since his victory in the Big Seven indoor two-mile, began running again this week with hope that he'll be ready for the conference outdoor derby May 22-23 at Ames.
The dope was that the task of the 11 others was hopeless, for Native Dancer has looked and done so well that he was 1 to 2 in the early Derby line.
Correspondent was considered his chief threat at 4 to 1. One reason the California speedster was the second choice in the probable field was because Eddie Arcaro will be riding him.
