PITTSBURGHIt was just a week ago that

the Giants were riding a five-game win streak

and leading the National League by 7 games.

Leo Durochers charges limped out of Pitts-

burgh on Sunday after being swept in a double-

header, their lead reduced to four after seven

losses in nine games against the three worst

teams in the Senior Circuit.

Meanwhile, the Pirates boast a three-gamewin streak, tying their season high. For that they

can thank outfielder Bill Howerton.

Howerton, acquired from St. Louis at the

trade deadline, ingratiated himself with Bucs

fans with two key RBI in Saturdays 14-6 win.

Sunday he topped himself, clouting a go-

ahead, two-run pinch homer in an 8-7 win in the

first game, and driving in three runs in a 4-2

Vollmer Homers, Squeezes Boston

To Doubleheader Sweep of BrownsBOSTONOuthitting their opponents onegame and outpitching them the next, the Red

Sox swept the Browns in a doubleheader Sun-

day, 14-5 and 4-3, to move into third place,

two games behind league-leading Cleveland.

The games had a common denominator

his name is Clyde Vollmer.

Vollmer, an outfielder who started just eight

of Bostons first 53 games, got the nod in both

ends of Sundays double-dip and made the

most of his opportunity. He went 4-for-4 in the

opener, tying career highs with two home runs

and five RBI.

Bobby Doerr added three hits, three runs

and three RBI, while Ted Williams had three

hits and two batted in. Ray Scarborough (2-3)got the win, despite allowing five runs in 8 1/3

innings. The Browns Jim Suchecki (0-2) was

roughed up for five runs in one inning of

work.

Vollmer went hitless in the second game,

but his squeeze bunt in the bottom of the

eighth broke a 3-3 tie and fetched home the

deciding run. Mel Parnell (6-3) threw a four-

hitter to win his third consecutive decision.

St. Louis has lost five in a row.

AROUND THE HORN

Elsewhere in the American League:

Bob Chakales fired a seven-hitter and

capped a six-run first inning rally with an RBI

fly out as the front-running Indians trimmed

the host Senators, 6-2.

All the scoring came in the first inning. The

Tribes six-run uprising was highlighted by Al

Rosens two-run single. The Nats scored twice

in the span of four batters to open their half of

the frame, with Irv Noren and Mickey Vernon

collecting RBI.

But Chakales, in tossing his first complete

game, buckled down, retiring 19 of the final 23

batters he faced.

Fred Sanford (2-2), making his first start since

being traded to Washington from the Yankees,

was chased after allowing six runs without re-

cording an out.

Philadelphias Carl Scheib tossed a three-hit

shutout and Chicagos Orestes Minoso knocked

in four runs as the As and visiting White Sox

split a doubleheader, 9-0 and 10-4.

Scheib (7-4) allowed just three singles in

hurling his sixth career whitewash in the opener.

Gus Zernial belted his 12th homer for the As.

Minosos second-game heroics made a win-

ner of Luis Aloma (1-1), who went the route in

his first start of the season.

Ted Gray won his third straight start as the

Tigers vanquished the host Yankees, 4-2.

Gray (5-6) scattered 11 hits in a complete

game effort, outdueling Allie Reynolds (5-4).

The Bombers Yogi Berra cracked his fifth

home run, extending his hit streak to 10 games.

Notes on the Scorecard

Fathers Day No-Hitter

For New Dad BambergerTORONTO (UP)Pitcher George Bamber-

ger of Ottawa, who became a father Saturday

night, celebrated his first Fathers Day in a bigway Sunday with a no-hit, no-run game to beat

Toronto, 1-0 in an International League con-

test.

He also walked after the bases had been

loaded with three hits in the second inning to

force in the games only run.

Mrs. Bamberger gave birth to a daughter

Saturday at Great Kill, Staten Island, N.Y.

Bamberger, a 25-year-old righthander, had a

brief trial with the Giants this year before being

sent to Triple A.

When Andy Pafko was traded from the

floundering Chicago Cubs to the Brooklyn

Dodgers, he said: Gee, thats like someone

giving you $5,000.

Pafko was referring to a potential slice ofWorld Series money.

Said Gene Hermanski, who was sent to the

Cubs, Thats my $5,000 theyre giving him.

Roy Sievers, veteran St. Louis Browns out-

fielder, was sent to the San Antonio club of the

Texas League on Sunday on a 24 hour recall.

Sievers, who was hitting .242, won the most

valuable rookie award two years ago.

Once-Mighty Giants Cut Down to Size by Pirates Sweeptriumph in the second.

Including his time with the Cards, Howerton

has 18 RBI, 13 against New York pitching

which has allowed 67 runs the past nine games.

Reliever Vern Law (6-2) won the first game,

his second win in less than 24 hours. Mel Queen

(3-5) won the nightcap, allowing two runs in 8

2/3 innings.

AROUND THE HORNElsewhere in the National League:

Reds third baseman Grady Hatton belted a

three-run homer in a 7-3 win in the first game,

and Braves reliever Dave Cole stroked a tie-

breaking bases-loaded triple in a 6-4 triumph in

the nightcap as host Cincinnati and Boston split.

Hattons homer came in a four-run first in-

ning rally that made life easy for starter Harry

Perkowski (2-1), who allowed three runs in

seven innings. Bostons Johnny Sain (6-3) was

chased after two innings, giving up six runs.

Coles triple broke a 3-3 tie in the eighth

inning of the second game. He allowed one run

in three innings, improving his record to 3-1.

Harry Brecheen (6-2) scattered seven hits

in his third complete game as the Cardinals

topped the visiting Phillies, 4-1.Philly starter Robin Roberts (4-4) lost for the

third time in four decisions. Richie Ashburn

extended his hit streak to 15 games.

Frankie Baumholtz had a tie-breaking sin-

gle in a five-run eighth-inning rally as the Cubs

beat the visiting Dodgers, 6-3.

Brooklyns Gil Hodges knocked in two runs,

giving him 29 RBI for the month.

Reds Stars Come Out

For Encore ExhibitionCINCINNATI (AP)Bucky Walters Paul

Derringer Ernie Lombardi Eppa Rixey

Heini Groh.

Those names sound familiar? They should.

They belong to some of the greatest baseball

players who ever put on a glove or hefted a bat.

And these same players all former Cincinnati

heroeswill be back at their old stands tonight.

They will play a three inning, all-time, all-

star Cincinnati exhibition at Crosley Field.

Fans did the picking of the best ever Redleg

team. The old-timers will be playing other Cin-

cinnati greats who finished high up in the poll.

The game will precede a regular contest be-

tween Cincinnati and Brooklyn.

Deacon Bill McKechnie, former Redleg

pilot who now is out of baseball, will handle

the all-stars. Dodger manager Chuck Dressen

will skipper the other team.

Cincinnatis famed one-two pitching punch

of Derringer and Walters will strangely

enoughfind itself on opposite sides this time.

This deadly duo piled up 52 wins in 1939 to

set delirious Cincinnatians on their ears and

hand the Reds a National League pennant.

They were the big guns on the 1940 pennant-

winning team, too.

Walters, voted top all-time righthanded

pitcher, now is a Boston Braves coach. Derrin-ger operates a local caf.

Eppa Rixey probably will start if Walters

doesnt. He won 25 and lost 13 pitching for

Cincinnati in 1922, and followed that with a 20-

15 season in 1923.

Also picked were Eddie Roush, who bat-

ted .352 in 1921, and will play outfield, and

Groh, the third baseman who used the bottle-

neck bat. He had his best hitting year in 1921,

his last year for the Reds, with a .331 average.Chick Hafey and Ival Goodman are ready to

play outfield with Roush.

The rest of the standout crew are: Frank

McCormick, 37, first base; Hughie Critz, 50,

second base; Eddie Miller, one of the

younger players, shortstop; and Ernie

Lombardi, 42, catcher.
