IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE Still Time For A 1st Division Club To Capture 1953 Major League Pennant By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer The first division teams in both major leagues could look at the calendar today and tell selves 'we can still do it." That's because on Aug. 12 two years ago, New York Giants were 13 games behind Brooklyn, yet they caught the Dodgers on the final day of the season and went on to win a playoff for the National League pennant. The teams in second, third and fourth place in both leagues go into today's contests less than 13 games out of the lead. In the National Brooklyn is 7% in front of Milwaukee Braves with Phila- delphia Phillies and St.' Louis Cardinals tied for third, 11% ames back. In the American, New ork Yanks lead Chicago White Sox by six games with Hird Place Cleveland 11 behind and fourth- place Boston 12%. YANKEES SLIP NOTCH The size of the leads changed + in both leagues Tuesday night. The them- | 4. and Chicago defeated Cleveland Indians 6-2, The situation was re- versed in the National where Broc whipped New York 4-0 and St. is edged Milwaukee Boston Red Sox won twice at Philadelphia, whipping the Athlet- ics 7-6 and 7-5. Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Browns split a pair. The Browns took the first 5-2, the Tig- ers the second 9-3. Chicago Cubs edged Cincinnati Redlegs 1-0. Philadelphia Phillies defeated Pittsburgh 3-0, but lost 7-4 in a game that was finally finished after being left hanging since July 5 by the Pennsylvania Sunday curfew law. The Pirates had been ahead 70 when time was called after 6 1-3 innings. ERSKINE BEATS GIANTS The Brooklyn victory was a great personal satisfaction for right- hander Carl Erskine. The Dodger ace gave up just two hits--both singles by Hank Thompson--as he beat the Giants at the Polo Grounds where he had failed five times in a row. Carl Furillo and Yankees lost a full game as they bowed to Washington Senators 2-1 Gil Hodges homered. Back-to-back doubles by Solly Hemus and Red Schoendienst in the ninth gave the Cardinals their victory over Milwaukee. Fine clutch pitching by Walt Masterson saved Washington's tri- ump over the Yankees. After hold- ing New York hitless through 5 1-3 innings Masterson yielded a run in the seventh on a walk and a triple by Irv Noren, Washington has won six of its last seven games. Billy Pierce, who pitched a three. hit shutout for Chicago against New York Sunday, came to the rescue in relief at Cleveland. With the bases loaded and none out in the ninth Pierce came in to retire the next three men. Minnie Minoso sparked a five-run Chicago up- rising in the seventh with a three- run homer. 16TH WIN FOR PARNELL Boston's Mel Parnell became the first American League pitcher to win 16 games this season as he took the first game of the Red Sox twin bill at Philadelphia, but he needed help from three relief men in the ninth inning. In the second game Ellis Ki der preserved Skinny Browr's 11th victory. THIRD IN A WEEK Syracuse's Art Hartley Pitches His No-hitter By THE CANADIAN PRESS No-hitters are becoming almost a dime a dozen in the International Baseball League.

Montreal came back to take the second contest 5-2. Hartley's no-hitter came less than a week after the first of the current campaign and was the sec- ond in as, many nights. In addition, Hartley's perfor- + mance was Syracuse's second no- hit, one-run game of the season. Duke Markell hurled an identical Salve last Thursday against Tor- onto. - Monday night, Dave Hillman blanked Toronto for Springfield over nine innings, with a o-hit, o-run masterpiece. H s good fortune, which boosted won-lost record to 10-9, took place at Syracuse, where Rocky Ni 's two-run homer broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth to | give Montreal the victory in the! aftermath, 23] Montreal's first-game run came after Sandy Amoros walked and Rocky Nelson lined out. Tim Thompson grounded to Hector Rod- riguez, who threw wildly. Amoros romped home. The league-leading Bisons split a doubleheader at Buffalo with Baltimore Orioles. The Herd took the opener 2-1 as veteran Earl Harrist limited the Orioles to two infield hits for his fifth victory. The Orioles blanked the Bisons 5-0 in the second game, which saw Joe Lonnett's three-run homer pro. vide enough runs for Bob Green- wood as he scattered eight hits. Rochester Red Wings fell twice to Ottawa Athletics at the Canadian capital. The A's took both ends of a double bill, 6-3 and 5-3. Toronto Maple Leafs and Spring- field Cubs split at Springfield, the Cubs w g the opener 6-5 and the Leafs the nightcap 6-1.
