Scoreboard

P: Even after they lost First Baseman Joe Adcock with a broken leg and Outfielder Bill Bruton with an injured kneecap, the Milwaukee Braves kept right on running --hanging on among the leaders of the tightest National League pennant race in years. Then they made a routine trade and picked up Veteran Second Baseman Red Schoendienst from the Giants. With the oldtimer (almost 13 years in the big leagues, most of them with the St. Louis Cardinals) chattering at second and telling them how, the Braves caught their second wind, sprinted down the August stretch with a ten-game winning streak that broke up the race and left them an almost unbeatable 8 1/2 games in front of the fading Cards and Dodgers. The only question left: Who among the rundown also-rans will stumble home second? P: At a boozy boosters' banquet during which he was supposed to tell Detroit sports fans how his Lions were going to win back the professional football championship, Lion Coach Buddy Parker suddenly switched signals and announced: "I've got a situation here I can't handle any more. These ballplayers have gotten too big for me, or something. I'm getting out of Detroit football." Finally convinced that Buddy was not kidding, the Lion management sent in a last-minute substitute: George Wilson, longtime Lion assistant coach and twelve-year veteran of the Chicago Bears.

P: Wheeling his British-built Vanwall into the lead on the second lap of the triangular course at Pescara, Italy, Britain's Stirling Moss was never headed as he set a record for the Grand Prix of Pescara (2 hrs. 59 min. 22.7 sec.) and moved into second place in the race for the world championship. Second at Pescara: Juan Fangio, who already has won enough Grand Prix races for the championship.
