Braves Nip New York On 475-Foot Home Run
New York—(U.P.)-Maybe they should put a picture of Peter Rabbit on major league baseballs this year, along with the signatures of league presidents Warren C. Giles and William Harridge.
Because the bunny definitely seems to be in the ball with longer and loftier home runs being socked on all fronts. In fact, it is a dull day any more when somebody doesn't get out a tape measure to record the distance of the latest sock.
Yesterday Joe Adecko of the Braves dented one of the National League spheres for a tremendous home run in the Polo Grounds, the ball clearing the center field bleacher wall, 475-feet from home plate. It was the first time that ever had happened in a major league game there.
Elsewhere in the National League, the Cardinals defeated Curt Simmons and the Phillies, 1-0, in 11 innings, and the Pirates snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Cubs. In Brooklyn, the Dodgers also put on a ninth inning rally to top the Reds, 6-5, on catcher Hobie Landrith's passed ball.
Even with the two-run blast that came after Andy Pafko singled, lefty Warren Spahn needed an unearned run in the ninth to give the Braves their second straight victory over the Giants, 3-2, as the New Yorkers went down to their eight defeat in the past 10 games.
Cleveland cashed in on four-hi pitching from Early Wynn to hand Alex Kellner of the Athletics his first loss, 2-1, while Bob Porterfield of Washington blanked Chicago on five hits, 3-0. Boston pounded out 17 hits to defeat Detroit again, 10-4, in American League games. The Yankees and Brown's got a chance for their tempers to cool off when their game was rained out at St. Louis.
Billy Johnson's double, scoring Rip Repulski with an unearned run, gave the Cardinals their victory over Simmons, who yielded only three hits. Repulski reached first on Jack Lohrke's error and went to second on Del Rice's sacrifice. The Pirates, with Cal Abrams homering and Pete Castiglione delivering a two-run single in the eighth, snapped the Cubs four-game winning streak.
Brooklyn loaded the bases on reliever Bubba Church in the ninth on Carl Furillo's double, an intentional pass to Gil Hodges, Dick William sacrifice, and a walk to Junior Gilliam after which Landrith let one slip by him. Roy Campanilla hit a two-run homer and Duke Snider got a bases empty blast for Brooklyn. Bobby Adams and Willard Marshall homed for the Reds.
Dale Mitchell drove in both Cleveland runs with singles as Kellner suffered his first defeat after three victories, including two shutouts over the Yanks. Porterfield also drove in the first Washington run with a single while catcher Les Peden got his first big league homer in the Nats' victory at Chicago. Sammy White and George Kell each made four hits for Boston.

Track Meet Halted Because of Injuries
Saturday's dual meet between Kansas and Kansas State has been canceled because of injuries suffered by four Wildcat team members in a car wreck near Stockton last Friday. The K-State performers were on their way to the annual Colorado Relays when the accident occurred.

Kansas City Finally Starting to Click
Pre-season favorite Kansas City finally was on the ball today after a miserable start against American Association opposition by winning four of their last five games.
The Blues made it three in a row over Louisville last night as Al Cicotte, Chuck Lebrun, and Mel
Wright combined to limit the Colonels to three hits in a 6-3 victory. Kansas City thus stayed in a fifth-place tie with Charleston, which also won.
The Senators combed three Columbia pitchers for 16 hits and won an easy 12-3 contest.
