Darillnals Dut Front In. See-Saw Battle

(By “so Canadian Press)

Ohioa o Oubs’ brilliant relief hurler. l Rush, stole the show from Brooklyn's Id (No Hit) Head yesterday as the Cubs grabbed an ll-inning, 2-1. decision from the National League leaders at Chi- ca o.

n the other game yesterday, Pittsbur h Pirates took advantage of a wll throw by Tommy Hughes on Frankie Oustlneh bunt to break an eighth inning tie and go on to defeat Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 before a slim crowd at Pittsburgh.

Brooklyn's defeat dumped them half a game behind St. Louis. whose scheduled game with New York Giants was washed out. The Boston-Cincinnati game also was klboshed by the weatherman, leav- ing the remainder of the stand- ings unchanged. _

Cubs tied the count st- 1-1 with‘ two out in the ninth on pitch- hltter Heinz Becker's single which scored Eddie Watkins. Kush. who took over for Cubs in the fifth after starter Hank Borowy acquired a blister on his pitching hand. weathered a storm in the 10th when the Brooks filled the bases on three free passes.

Walfli leads Athck

Waltkus. who paced the Cub 13- hit. attack with three singles. led off in the lith with a blow to left. took second on Clyde Mc- Cu1lough's sacrifice. went to third on Bob Sturgeon’! single and‘ came home easily when rellefer Hugh Casey blew up and walked Dom Dallesandro.

o-hi-tter Head left the game in the ninth inning after giving up nine hits. Kush held Dodgers to 121111‘. hits during his seven inning s n

At Pittsburgh it wrfi a tight duel between Tommy Hughes and Ken Gables of Pirates until Hughes went sky high in the eighth. There were men on first and second when Gustinc hunted. and Huchec pegged the ball far over Jim Tab- or’s head letting both haserunners score. Then Bob Elliott doubled home another run to end the slaughter.
