DIAMOND DUST VOL 1952 NO 6

DODGERS MOVING AHEAD
 
The NL Dodgers split while the NL Braves took three from the AL Yankees. The resurging Braves have climbed from last place in the NL to second place and only 4 games behind da Bums. Meanwhile the Bombers saw their slim lead over the Indians become even slimmer. Thirteen was a lucky number for the Giants as they pasted the Chi Sox 12-6 to break a thirteen game losing streak.  

INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS

Say no more than Harvey Haddix and Curt Simmons. Haddix 2-hit the Cardinals as the Indians won 10-0. Simmons was even better as he 1-0 hit the Braves allowing only a 4th inning single to Dave Philley as his Dodgers won 4-0. Eddie Robinson of the White Sox continues to slide and is in danger of not being mentioned in this column again. He is now batting .339 as the Braves Ted Kluszewski leads the pack at .355.

Still no change on the pitching side as Mel Parnell of the Red Sox lowered his ERA to 1.84. Garcia (Indians) needed relief help in the 7th inning but Hoyt Wilhem picked up the save and handed Garcia his 7th victory tops in the BIBL.

Larry Doby (Indians) caught up to Yogi Berra (Yankees) by swatting two homers this week to end up in a tie for the homer lead with Berra at 15 each.
