P.E.l. Provincial

(Canadian Press) Brooklyn Dodgers recaptured first place in the National League standings Sunday. after one day Ln a. virtual tie with Boston. as they blanked the Braves 4-0 on Ralph Brancas three-hit master- piece. Brancals 12th victory of the season gave the Bums a one- game lead over the Beantown crew.

New York Giants kept close on the leaders‘ heels by ni-pping Phil- adelphia Philiies 4-3 in the Quaker City, although they were without their potent home run weapon. Larry Jansen needed all his luck as he chalked up a, victory while Charley Schanz stopped Giants without a. home run after they had connected for 37 in 16 straight contests.

5t. Louis Cardinals came up with a pair of classy pitching par- formances as Jim Heam stopped Cincinnati with three hits for a 3-0 win and Murray Dickson al- lowed but four to win the night- cap 2-0.

The twin victnrjv gave Cards sole possession of fourth place as Chicago Cubs were rocked 6-2 and 10-0 hy the tail-end Pittsburgh Pirates.

At Brooklyn, the 21-year-old Brzmca fashioned his third 5hut~ out, pitching nc-hslt bail_ until Tommy Holmes led oft the sixth for Braves with a single. Dodgers got their first run in the opening inning oh a Wfllk, a single and a force play. and added two more in the second and fourth.

Giants scored three unearned runs in eking out their win over Phillics, and hard-luck twirler Charley Schanz. They got all their tallies in the third with the help of a hit batter. a passed bail and n disastrous errc-r by Skeeter Newsome.

Aging Fritz Ostcrmucller hum- bled Cubs in the second‘ Pitts- burg game. holding the Bengals to six safeties and dropping them to fifth place. It was Ostermuel- ler‘s sixth win and third shutout this year.

Ernie Bonham, former New York Yankee. scattered six hits in win- ning the opener, while Jimmy Blnodworth hit a home run W101i one on in the sixth and Hank Greenberg clcuted a two-run ham- er i-n the seventh.

Provided the weatherman is 0n

Keen rivals ever since the season got under- viay and with very little to choose between them both squads were confident last night of being re- turned the winners and if botn are at full strength plenty of clnsa competition should be witnessed before the winners are decided. -l- 0 0 4'

Deepest sympathy is extended to Harold Hennessey and other members of the family on the death of his father. William Hen- uessey which occurred on Satur- day. Although keeping pretty much to the background the late Mr. Hennessey was an ardent sports follower and although sick- ness limited his attendancetha past couple of years he retained his interest to the end. Athletes, especially the juniors, have lost. a staunch follower.

Tremendous applause greeted the verdict which gave Sweden its first heavyweight title contender in modern boxing history '
