Braves In Position To Take Lead Giants, Dodgers Collect Victories
(By UNITED PRESS)
The Milwaukee Braves are ignoring those pseudo-contenders cluttering up the first division because they've quietly moved into a position where they soon can take command of the National League race.
The Braves are pretty much on their 1957 pennant-winning schedule after walloping the St. Louis Cardinals, 12-8, last night with a 13-hit assault on seven pitchers. They're only a half game out of first place and their 11-7 record compares
favorably with their 13-5 getaway last season.
But the real key to the Braves' start is that they are within easy striking distance of the lead whereas three of the other four so-called contenders—Los Angeles, Philadelphia and St. Louis—are holding up the rest of the league in sixth, seventh and eighth places.
The front-running Chicago Cubs dealt Cincinnati its seventh defeat in 15 games when Glen Hobbie's four-hitter throttled the Redlegs, 4-0; The San Francisco Giants whipped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-0, and the Los Angeles Dodgers edged out
the Phillies, 7-6, in a 14-inning game in the other National League games.
The Boston Red Sox beat the stumbling Chicago White Sox, 7-5, in the only American League game.
A garter snake can swallow a frog because it can unhinge its jaws to allow the passage of large creatures.
