CATCHER JOE GARAGIOLA of the Cardinals, sensational rookie, relaxes in the clubhouse before going on the field. Kramer Is Again Victor Over Boston By Dent McSkimming Of the Post-Dispatch SUff. BOSTON, July 20 That strange Influence Jack Kramer and the Browns hold over the Boston Red Fox is building itself into a tra dition. Pitching with great care and kill. New Orleans Jack out- pitched Tex Hughson in the open ing game of the re Ties here today and came off with a 5 to 4 vie tory.

Thus he registered his third triumph over this team previously had lost only two games to western division clubs on the Fenway Park field. The Browns now have a record of five victories (four in a row), and ix losses in their encounters with Joe Cronin's sensational team. Kramer has not lost a game to Boston this year. Ferrick Saves the Day. It took some amazingly efficient relief pitching on the part of Big Tom Ferrick to assure Kramer of his triumph.

Jack had worked hard in the 92-degree heat (thats ter rific in Boston) and when Ted Williams opened the eighth with a double, his only hit of the game, Manager Sewell made an important decision. He halted the action, walked to the mound, talked with Kramer and then waved to the bull-pen. In walked Tom Ferrick, the strong armed righthander the Browns obtained four weeks ago from Cleveland on waivers. He retired six straight batters and the Browns went off with a triumph. At Washington recently, Big Tom turned a similar trick in relieving Muncrief.

The Red Sox gave Kramer a lively fight all the way. They pecked at him for 10 hits and they had runners on base in every inning he worked except two. Three double plays took him out of real trouble. AL Zar ilia's home run in the fourth inning and timely hits by Chuck Stevens and Jeff Heath were the important blows in the Brownie attack on Hughson. Heath drove in three runs.

A Run for Life. Berardino's first inning single to Pesky was a questionable hit, so the official scorer must have felt relieved when Vern Stephens lined a real hit to right. Only by fast sprinting and an artful slide was Berardino able to reach third on the hit. Then he scored on Heath's poke for distance, a sky-high drive that was suspended in air long enough for Dom Di-Maggio to run and circle and run and then stand and wait for the catch, against the right center-field wall. The Browns got a fortunate break in the Red Sox second when Zarilla turned a fumble into a putout at the plate.

With one out. Pesky walked and DiMaggio slashed a single to right. When Zarilla, coming in fast for a possible play at third, fumbled. Pesky rounded that station and tried for a score. Stephens, hustling: out into right field, took Zarilla's throw and shot a perfect relay to Mancuso and Pesky was out.

Jimmy Brown Is Assaulted After Game PITTSBURGH, July 20 (AP) Jimmy Brown, Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman, was jumped and beaten by four unidentified men as he left the clubhouse at Forbes Field today following the Pittsburgh-Brooklyn game, teammates related. Charles Jorgensen, team trainer, said he treated Brown for his injuries.

"His face was pretty badly bruised, he had a cut under his left eye, a skinned elbow, and his shirt was pretty well torn," said Jorgensen. Rip Sewell, the team's blooper ball pitcher, quoted Brown as saying the men jumped him as he loaded baseball equipment into the trunk of his automobile. Brown, one of the first men to leave the clubhouse had planned to umpire a kids' baseball game later in the evening. "The men were drunk and jumped me before I knew what had happened. One of the guys was bigger than Spud Davis and gave me a terrific smack on the Jaw.

I scrapped back a littlo and then rushed back into the clubhouse. I don't know whv thev jumped me. It's a puzzle to me." Learning of the incident, several Pirate players rushed out of the clubhouse to give chase to the men. but they had fled. Jorgensen quoted Brown as saying: "I'll be all right, but I bet I have a good stiff neck tomorrow." Brown was not available for direct comment.

Frankie Frisch, Pirate manager, had no comment other than "it's an awful thing, isn't it" Griffith Given Option Of Rehiring Campbell Or Paying Him in Full WASHINGTON. Julv 20 (TIP United States District Attorney Edward Curran said today he would give the Washington Senators baseball club a chance to reinstate or pay Outfielder Bruce Campbell before taking any action on Campbell's complain that he had not been given a fair trial after a three-year Army hitch. Campbell, basing his claim on Selective Service Law provisions that an employer must give a veteran one year's employment at his pre-service salary, said that Washington released him with more than $5000 of his $9000 contract still to be paid. Clark Griffith, Washington Pres ident, said he had no comment until "I know all about what is going on."

And it was the same wiry right hander, you'll recall, who bowled over the Bums in 12 Innings last Sunday, 2 to 1.

In between his two starts of the week, Murry found time, too, for a brilliant four-inning stretch of scoreless relief pitching Thursday, the night the Redbirds saw first place for the first time since late May. Three Victories In Week. So in the Cardinals' most prosperous week of the season, 29-year-old Mr. Dickson, whose dimensions of 155 pounds and five-feet 10-inches would fit those of more infielders than of pitchers, gained three of his eight victories of the season, and three of the Redbirds" five triumphs for the vital seven-day stretch. Moreover, he allowed only two runs in 25 innings.

Dickson week, no less. In Billy Southworth's Boston Braves, Dickson faced another hot ball club, one that had won eight of 11 games in a Western invasion and a team that needed victory to hold fourth place by more than a mathematician's nightmare. And in long, lean Johnny Sain, the Redbirds were opposed by Boston's best. Sain allowed only six hits to Dickson's seven and passed only one batter compared with the five the Cardinal hurler walked. But ball games usually are won in the pinches, in the tight spots.

And it was in the moments that counted most for which Murry of the mound called on a strikeout pitch or a double play ball. After all, a guy who has pitched in 28 of his club's 85 games recognizes a crisis before it bruises his nose. Braves Score In Eighth. In four innings the first Boston batter reached base. One time, too, the Braves loaded the sacks.

But that was the scth, two were out and Dickson compelled Ken O'Dea to fly harmlessly to the outfield. So not until the eighth, when they broke his string of consecutive scoreless innings pitched at 22, did the Braves find home plate. Dick Culler opened that frame with a single and reached second when Enos Slaughter, unable to put on the brakes while trying to field his hit to right-center, skidded on grass, slippery from so much rain. 'Bama Rowell grounded out, but Johnny Hopp walked. Tommy Holmes' single to left scored Culler and brought action in the Cardinals bull pen.

Dickson, however, just called for a towel, mopped his perspiring brow and got O'Dea on strikes, Ray Sanders on a long fly to Erv Dusak. The same Culler who scored Boston's only run gave the Cardinals the chance they didn't over-vS The Braves' shortstop fumbled Dickson's inning-opening grounder in the sixth, and the" pitcher sprinting hard, then beat bains throw to second on Red Schoendienst's bunt.

Art Herring, who had replaced Starter Joe Hatten in the seventh. picked up his sixth victory at Ken Heintzelman's expense.

The Cincinnati jinx continued to haunt Bill Voiselle as the New York Ciants' righthander lost his first start of the season against the Reds, whom he has beaten only c.ce in his three-year major league career. Johnny Vandermeer didn't give Voiselle much of a chance, toss ing a gaudy three-hitter at the Giants for a 2-1 triumph, his fifth straight success. Singles by Ray Mueller, Ed Lukon and Claude Corbltt and Dain Clay's outfield fly gave Clncy the tie-breaking score in the seventh inning. Chicago picked up ground on both the Dodgers and Cardinals by grabbing a doubleheader from the Phillies, 4-3 and 3-2.

Chapman Expects Photo Finish in National League CHICAGO, July 20 (AP) Ben Chapman, manager of Philadelphia Phillies, wouldn't be surprised if this year's National League pen nant race proves the closest in history.

Arriving here today with hl3 Phillies from St. Louis, where they divided a two-game series with the Cardinals, Chapman said: "This race is really shaping up for a photo finish. And I wouldn't be surprised if it goes right down to the last day of the season be fore it's decided. While St. Louis and Brooklyn are both ahead of Chicago right now, the Cubs arc still a factor.

"They'll play a lot of baseball for Charlie Grimm through August and September. He a master at getting that something extra out of a ball team in the stretch.

"The field set by Macindoe was extraordinary and it remained so throughout the innings. Travers, medium-pace, bowled for an hour and a quarter to three slips, two gullys, coverpoint, silly mid-off, and two short-legs." (What, no nylons?) About another participant, Mr. Swanton wrote, "Sutton, a slow off-spinner, had two slips, two short-legs, a silly mid-off and no extra cover. For Bloy's leg-breaks, little though the ball turned, there were three slips, a silly mid-off, and extra-cover, but no mid-off proper." Before you get to thinking that something with "two slips, two short-legs, a silly mid-off and no- extra cover" might be a boong that your adventurous overseas son may have picked up, purely out of curiosity in New Guinea, let it be explained that Mr. Swanton was writing about cricket.

In a club house meeting at which Manager Eddie Dyer was asked to preside as chairman, the names of Moore and Marion received no opposition as Redbird representatives for the meeting a week from tomorrow in New York. Dyer expressed concern, however, when he was informed that on July 29 the Cardinals were scheduled to play a night game at Boston, where an earlier contest, called off by cold weather, was reset for that night. The Cardinals' manager said he had been under the impression that the date was an open one for all 16 big league clubs. "I don't see how in a close race we can spare Moore and Marion, so I'm going to ask Mr.

Breadon to contact Ford Frick," Dyer said, adding: "Maybe Frick wasn't aware either that we're scheduled the 29th." Moore said he would be willing to fly to New York after a single game a week from today, if necessary, to make the meeting between games. And even Marion, an opponent of the airways, smiled and said, "Maybe I'd fly, too. I think this whole thing is that worthwhile." The Cardinals have not drawn up a complete list of suggestions for their two representatives, Moore said. Among proposals, however, have been those for (Da small salary ($5 per day) during spring training. (2) More consideration In the determination of a 10-year man: (3) A pension plan to which both players and club would contribute, and; (4) A "loyalty or sinking" fund.

"In other businesses your loyalty over the years is appreciated by seniority or other tangible rights," Moore said. "In baseball your reward for many seasons with a club becomes diminished pay and then an outright release. So we have talked of a loyalty or sinking fund whereby for each season of a player's major league career up to 10 $1000 would be set aside for him by his club owner. to Sugar AT one time we thought Robert Murphy of Boston, originator of the Baseball Players' Guild, was Just another hustler trying to create a job for himself. He still may fit that description.

But he has done something else. He has made baseball magnates think And that, feller, is an achievement. The baseball player's contract and his servitude to employers, under the baseball way of doing business, have for many years inspired plenty of criticism. It has been by-passed or pooh-poohed on the ground that without control of the player through extra-legal methods, Organized Baseball could not exist.

At the end of the morning 18, Mrs. Zaharias, winner of the recent Trans-Mississippi tournament in Denver, held a 7-up advantage after a 3-under-par 72 round. The Memphis player turned in a card of 80 on the first 18.

The sports writer, one E.

W. Swanton, obviously a man of tremendous erudition, started out by informing us that "Oxford begin the second day of the University match at Lord's this morning 102 runs behind the Cambridge first innings, with seven wickets standing, including that of the redoubtable Donnelly." Our first reaction was that somebody had a heluva first inning, that is, after a thought that it should have read "Oxford begins." Then we remembered that Oxford is plural over there, making "begin" all right, and we went back to amazement at the inning. We were jerked up short when Mr. Swanton went on to say "Thus it is still very much of a fight, and great credit is due to the Cambridge bowlers Trapnell, Mills and Griffiths, for pinning down Oxford between tea and the close, to a rate of scoring a little slower than their own."

WALKER SMITH, whose nom de guerre is Sugar Robinson, will get his chance at the welter title Sept.

6 in the Yankee Stadium. For months Sugar complained that he was being given the run-around. They matched him with everybody but the champion. Instead of giving him a chance at Freddie Cochrane, they gave him the brush-off. And they let Marty Servo grab the easy money and the title from an easy foe.

It didn't end there. Mike Jacobs agreed to give Sugar a rhance at the winner of the Servo-Cochrane title match. But later, Ray still insisted he was being shoved around. Then, when they told him the Aug. 21 date was off because the Yankees needed their sta Once Sour dium, Robinson moaned some more.

Now the date definitely has been set. And so, the "uncrowned king of the welters" may soon possess the honor that he long ago was entitled to at least, all fight authorities agree on that. Servo may turn out to be a more dangerous foe than he thus far has been regarded; He made the mistake of stepping out of his weight class to fight Graziano. Rocky not only knocked out Marty, but the injuries he inflicted, on Servo were at least one reason for delaying the Robinson-Servo battle. Now, In all reasonable probability.

Sugar will not only gain the championship, but, on his record, he may be voted "the fighter of the year." Continued on Page 2, Column 0. Continued on Page 2, Column 2. uaiL casting. 4 lexa. aa mmmmt.
