Giants Get Taste of Own Medicine As Phillies Rally For 11-9 Victory
NEW YORK Early this season, the Giants ran off a string of improbable late-game comebacks, seizing victory from an astonished, dispirited opponent. Now they know how the other half lives. Leading 8-1 after six innings behind ninegame winner Jim Hearn, New York fell victim to a relentless Phillies comeback Monday night and suffered a stunning 11-9 loss. The Giants were trailing 1-0 when they rallied for three runs in the third inning, two scoring on a triple by Monte Irvin. A three-run home run by rookie Willie Mays increased the lead to 6-1 in the fourth. When Eddie Stanky poled a two-run circuit clout in the sixth, the Giants appeared to be home free. But the Phils chased Hearn with two unearned runs in the seventh. The roof caved in on the New York bullpen in the eighth, when the Phils tied the game with a five-run rally keyed by Del Wilbers pinch-hit two-run homer and Dick Sislers two-run triple. Granny Hamner slugged a go-ahead roundtripper in the ninth, and pinch-hitter Bill Nicholson added a two-run shot for insurance runs that came in handy in the bottom of the frame. Former Giant Andy Hansen (1-0) got his first big league win since 1949 while allowing one run in 1 2/3 innings. Jocko Thompson wriggled out of a ninth-inning jam to record his first save. Loser George Spencer (3-2) allowed three runs in 1 2/3 inning of relief. Prior to Monday, the Giants had been 33-1 when leading after seven innings. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the National League: Preacher Roe spun his fifth shutout of the season and Duke Snider moved one step closer to the longest hit streak in franchise history as the visiting Dodgers punished the Braves, 9-0. Roe (9-2) fired an eight-hitter to win his fourth straight start. Jackie Robinson had four hits and scored three runs, and Gil Hodges smashed his 15th home run for Brooklyn. Sniders seventh-inning double gave him a 24 -game hit streak, three shy of the team standard. Johnny Sain (6-4) took the loss, allowing seven runs in 6 1/3 innings. Virgil Stallcup capped a six-run rally with a tie-breaking grand slam in the bottom of the eighth as the host Reds beat the Cardinals, 8-4. Stallcup homered off reliever Al Brazle, making a loser of Cards starter Max Lanier (5-3). Cincy reliever Eddie Erautt (3-1) got the win. Murry Dickson (6-6) held the visiting Cubs to one unearned run in 8 1/3 innings, leading the Pirates to a 2-1 victory. Frank Hiller (5-4), who allowed two runs in seven innings, lost his second straight start.

Zernials Clutch Hitting Lifts Athletics Past Yankees in Tenth

PHILADELPHIA Slugging outfielder Gus Zernial had what many observers believed was a breakout season a year ago. The way hes going in 1951, hes going to make 1950 look more like a stepping stone. Zernial had three RBI on Monday, including a tying single in the bottom of the eighth that forced extra innings, and the game-winning triple in the 10th as the Athletics downed the visiting Yankees, 7-6. In his first full major league season a year ago, Zernial hammered 29 homers and had 93 RBI for the White Sox. When he got off to a slow start this season, he was peddled to Philadelphia in a three-team trade. In his fourth game with the As, he knocked in five runs to help beat his former team. He hasnt slowed down since. He currently is tied for the league lead with 19 homers, is second with 65 RBI, and sits sixth with a .325 average. Mondays win was the fourth straight for the As, who are tied for second with Chicago, 2 game behind Cleveland. Reliever Morrie Martin (2-0) threw a scoreless inning to get the win. Johnny Mize had three hits for the Yankees, including his fourth round-tripper. AROUND THE HORN Elsewhere in the American League: Mike Garcias six-game win streak came to a crashing halt as the White Sox pounded out 17 hits in a 12-5 win over the Indians. Garcia (8-5), who had thrown six consecutive complete game wins, allowed seven runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings. Chicago starter Saul Rogovin (5-4) got the win, allowing five runs in seven innings. Eddie Robinson drove in two runs for the Sox, boosting his major league-leading RBI total to 70. Orestes Minoso added three RBI. Luke Easter launched his 10th home run and had two RBI for Cleveland. Mickey Vernon cracked a tying two-run double, then scored the game-winning run on Cass Michaels single in the bottom of the 12th inning as the Senators rallied for a 7-6 win over the Red Sox. Boston seemed to have gained control with a three-run uprising in the top of the 12th that featured a two-run single by Lou Boudreau. Johnny Pesky had five hits for the BoSox.

Players of the Week

Philadelphia, Brooklyn Hurlers Earn Accolades

They say good pitching beats good hitting, and the American and National League Players of the Week confirmed the old adage to excess. Philadelphia Athletics swing man Bob Hooper and Brooklyn Dodgers stalwart Don Newcombe both tossed a pair of dominating complete game wins, earning honors for the week ending with Sundays tilts. The Canadian-born Hooper made a good first impression with As fans as a rookie last year, recording a 15-10 record. His sophomore year was nearly put on hold late in spring training when he was sidelined with a pinched nerve in his right arm. But he was ready for the start of the season and has been consistently effective while bouncing between the bullpen and the rotation. Never was he stronger than last week, when he tossed six-hitters against the Red Sox and Senators, allowing just one run in each contest and improving his record to 7-4. Likewise, Newcombe hurled a pair of onerun, six-hit gems, beating the Giants and Phils to give him a personal five-game win streak. He piled up 16 strikeouts in the process, including 10 against the rival Giants. He now leads the National League with 78.

Stengels Picks Give AL Lots of Sock, Sox

CHICAGO Casey Stengel filled out the American League All-Star team with reserves and pitchers Monday, drawing heavily from one of the teams his Yankees are currently attempting to catch. Stengel chose four White Sox players to go with the two Sox standouts voted to the starting lineup, giving the Chicagoans a league-high six All-Star representatives. Philadelphia will send five players to the midsummer classic in Detroit on July 10, and Boston will dispatch four. The first place Indians claim three All-Stars while Stengels own defending World Series champions have but two starting catcher Yogi Berra, and pitcher Eddie Lopat. In augmenting the roster, Stengel chose ChiSox catcher Phil Masi, first baseman Eddie Robinson and left fielder Orestes Minoso. Chicago keystone combo Nelson Fox and Chico Carrasquel had already been elected as starters in a polling of fans. Stengel selected three Athletics as reserves: Shortstop Eddie Joost and outfielders Gus Zernial and Dave Philley. Indians third baseman Al Rosen and outfielder Larry Doby were picked as reserves, as was Red Sox second baseman Bobby Doerr.
