Thomas tripled and then tried to score when Phillies Set Record But Who Wants It By ED WILKS Associated Press Staff Writer Philadelphia Phillies, hoping, to build a winner, have put to- gether the longest losing streak any national league team has had to endure since 1899. They dropped their 20th straight game Thursday night --the hard way. The Phillies twice came from behind before losing 7-6 in 11 innings at Mil- waukee. While Cleveland a long - ago National League entry, set the all - time record for consecutive losses with 24 in 1899, only three § post - 1900 teams had lost as { many as 20 in a row. All were American League clubs--Bos- { ton Red Sox of 1906 and Phil- adelphia Athletics of 1916 and The old National League high since 1900 was 19 set by Bos- ton Braves of 1906 and tied by Cincinnati Reds of 1914. BRAVES WIN AGAIN The present - day Braves ran their winning streak to seven and edged within a half - game of the third - place San Fran- cisco Giants. The Giants were knocked off 2-0 by the St. Louis Cardinals and the three - hit pitching of Larry Jackson. The Braves trail Cincinnati's first- place Reds by 8% games. Pittsburgh Pirates and Chi cago Cubs split a doubleheader, the Cubs winning 11-4 before the Pirates pulled out a 4-3 deci- sion in the nightcap. The young charges of young Gene Mauch of the Phils have faced every club in the league but Los Angeles Dodgers since starting their losing streak af- ter a 4-3 victory over San Fran- cisco July 28. They lost six en- gagements to Pittsburgh, four each to Cincinnati and St. Louis, three to Chicago, two to San Francisco and one to Milwau- ee. This was their seventh one- run defeat and first extra-inn- ing setback in the string, dur- ing which they also officially were eliminated from the pen- nant race with their 78th loss, at Pittsburgh Aug. 11. They lost Thursday night when Lee Maye walked in the 11th inning and moved around on Frank Bolling's sacrifice, an er- ror, a walk to Ed Mathews and a one - out single by Al Spang- ler. Jack Baldschun (4-3) was the loser and Don Nottebart (4-6) the winner, both in relief | After blowing a 2-0 lead when the Phils scorea three runs in the second inning, the Braves went ahead 4-3 on Maye's fifth- inning home run. And when the Phils rallied for another three- {run inning, in the seventh, Joe Adock's two - run homer pulled the Braves even in the eighth. Ken Boyer drove in both the Cards' runs with a sixth - inn- ing double and an eighth - inn- ing single off southpaw Mike McCormick (9-12). Jackson (9-9), pitching the didn't waik a man in beating the Giants for the seventh straight time since opening day last season. Dick Drott (i-3), winless in 11 decisions going back to June 14, 1959, won the opener in re- lief for the Cubs, who counted four home runs, two by Ernie Banks, in a 13 - hit spree against Wilmer Mizell (6-9) and two relievers.

SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR | "Everything From Soup To Nuts' STILL AT IT! Fernhill Park and Woodview Park Midget teams still haven't decided which team will travel to Peterborough on Monday night, sporting the 1961 Oshawa Minor Softball Association's Midget League championship and OASA playoff rights. We passed along a tip yesterday to local softball fans to be sure to take in that game last night and a big crowd was on 'hand--and they weren't disappointed -- not unless they same from Woodview Park, of course. Fernhill Genosha Aces scored the winning run in the last of the 9th to 'win the game 3-2 and tie up the series, at one win apiece, with two games tied. That's about as evenly-matched as two teams can be. They've played every night this 'week so far and the scores have been 3-3; 6-5; 4-4 and 3-2. They get a rest tonight and for sure both teams, and especially the pitchers, can stand a respite, The fifth and deciding game will be tomorrow evening, Saturday, back at Alexandra Park, starting at 6.15 p.m. sharp. If they get rained out tomorrow night -- then they'll go Sunday afternoon, at two o'clock -- as a winner must be ready to travel to the Liftlock City on Monday. If young Hobbs and Mason, the two rival chuckers, come up with another game like the rest they've pitched this week -- then it'll be another sizzling struggle and more than likely, it will be decided on " a break", FERNHILL PARK'S Bantam fans will miss out to- morrow night. They've been enjoying the red-hot Midget finals, like everybody else but on Saturday, at 6.30 sharp, right at their own park, the Fernhill Bantams will open their OASA first round of playoffs, with Port Perry Bantams as the visitors. However, it's just like a double- header at Alexandra Park tomorrow night and anybody that is unable to get there in time to see the Midget championship decided, should still make an effort to see 'the floodlight game, starting at eight o'clock, when Osh- awa Scugog Cleaners meet North York Tuxedo Junction Jn the second game of their OASA Junior "A" playoff round. Scugogs, 1960 titleholders, are out to polish off the North York challengers in two-straight games, but 'it will take some doing and the action will be lively. ORIGINALLY, in the initial OASA playoff draw, 'due to an error, both the Junior "A" and Senior "B" Osh- awa "home games" were scheduled for Saturday. Both teams wanted their home game as a floodlight fixture and so to avoid ordering one of the games for Saturday afternoon, the OASA conveners elected to go with the Junior series first -- since the winner is scheduled to play Owen Sound almost immediately. In the Senior "B" ranks, there are not many teams entered in the Zone 4 area, so postponing a game for a couple of days meant only shortening the length of time the winning team will likely have to wait for the next round anyway -- especially if this proves "a quick series." TONY'S VENDORS meet Peterborough Shell Oil at Alexandra Park tonight in Inter. "A" OASA playdowns while the Senior Tony's team goes to Kew Beach for a game against Dependable Caterers, then on Wednesday, Tony's go back there to play the Caterers again, their final game, one that was rained out earlier in the season , . . PETERBOROUGH Juveniles eliminated Oshawa Willis Motors last night with a 5-4 win here but this one was a real close game that 'might have gone the other way had the Oshawa boys handled the long outfield drives a little better. The lights seemed to bother the Willis outfielders . . . DON'T KNOW how MacLean's Esso made out in Brooklin last night--maybe they were beaten--the scorebook wasn't turned in . . .
