Giants Greet Leo With Win On His Return
New York, May 5—(U.P.) The most oft-repeated remark around the Polo Grounds these days is "brother," if those Giants only had some pitchers they would breeze to the pennant."
Wednesday as manager Leo Durocher completed a round trip to and from Happy Chandler's carpet in Cincinnati, the Giants welcomed him back with a 12-hit batting spree that netted an 11 to 4 victory over the Pirates. Sid Gordon took the National League home run lead with his sixth route clutch and Johnny Mize and Bobby Thomson also contributed homers.
Even so the Pirates outhit the Giants, getting 15 blows off Larry Jansen who finally staggered to his first victory after being knocked out four times previously. Dixie Walker paced Pittsburgh with three hits.
The Dodgers finally knocked out Howie Fox, the only Cincinnati hurler who was able to go the route against them last year, winning a 5 to 1 decision at Brooklyn in which Joe Hatten pitched seven hit ball to win his second game. Gene Hermanski hit a homer and Gil Hodges got three singles in the 10-hit Dodger offense.
Lefty Ken Heintzelman of the Philies gained his fourth win of the year by beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 7 to 5, in a night game although he needed ninth-inning relief by Ken Trinkle when the Cards staged a three-run rally.
Big Johnny Sain, recovering from a slow start, marked up his second win by pitching the Boston Braves to a 4 to 3 decision over the Chicago Cubs in a night game at Boston.
The Boston Braves got four hits and four runs against Dutch Leonard in the first inning but were held to one hit for the next seven innings by Bob Chipman and Emil Kush.
In the American League, two strong-armed right handers, Virgil Trucks of Detroit and Vic Raschi of New York, picked up their fourth straight triumphs. Trucks ran over the Red Sox with a three-hit, 5 to 1 job, missing a shutout only when Ted Williams hit his fourth homer of the season and his third in his last three games. Detroit got 15 hits, all singles, Vic Wertz and Bobby Swift getting three each.
Raschi wasn't as effective as Trucks but got more long distance hitting support in beating the Browns, 10 to 5 at St. Louis. Phil Rizzuto drove in four runs with a homer and two singles and those rolling kickers, Jerry Coleman and Hank Bauer each powered a triple. Coleman also got two singles and Bauer got one in 15-hit assault. It was the Browns' seventh straight home defeat.
Those suddenly amazing Senators kept aiming for the fences in Chicago, picking up three more homers as they overcame a 7 to 0 deficit and went on to beat the White Sox, 8 to 7. Three runs in the ninth inning on homers by Ed Stewart and Mark Christman produced the victory. Earlier, Sherry Robertson hit a Washington homer. The Chi-Sox got all their runs in the fourth when Cass Michaels and Floyd Baker hit homers. Baker's was his first in seven big league seasons.
Two homers and a game saving catch of a liner in the ninth which he turned into a double play were Joe Gordon's contributions as the Indians beat the Athletics, 4 to 3 in Cleveland for Gene Bearden's third triumph. The other Cleveland runs also were homers, by Mickey Vernon and Dale Mitchell.

Stars Poised For Tourney
Soleil Sulphur Spg's, W. Va's, May 5—(U.P.)—A multitude of the nation's best shot-makers moved into Sammy Snead's backyard today for the start of the $10,000 Greenbrier Invitational golf tournament.
Joe Kirkwood of Holllywood. Cal-
matched Snead's 68, while powerful
Jimmy Thomson of Chicpea, Mass.
carded a 70.
Snead, who is the home pro when he isn't busy pounding the tournament trail, turned in a 68 during Wednesday's final tune-up. The low score for the day, however, was a 64 fired by Harry Ransom, sure-shot from Bvran Tex.
Britain's Henry Cotton is not back to defend last year's title, but most of the pros regard young Paul O'Leary of Bismarck. N.D., as a good dark-horse choice, O'Leary certainly is familiar with the course, being among the first arrivals last Friday. He tuned up Wednesday with a neat 72.
