Louis, Aug. 6 (P--Stan Lopata's two o-run homer broke up a tie game after Willie Jones had driven in the first three runs tonight to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Haddix to Showers Lopata's blow to the left-field bleachers in the eighth inning sent Harvey Haddix to the showers and down to his 11th defeat against eight victories. The Phillies had jumped off to a one run lead in the first inning on successive singles by Gran Hamner, Del Ennis and Jones after two men were out.
Little Murry Diekson, who held the Redbirds hitless in the first three innings, weakened for a moment in the fourth as Stan Musial got an infield single and Bill Virdon blasted his 15th home run of the season to the right-field pavilion seats for a 2-1 St. Louis lead.

Other Leaders Lose 4 The Sox gained some solace, though, from the fact that they lost no ground to the rival Cleveland and Chicago clubs, who lost again, or to the Yankees, who dropped Detroit.
Boston has a chance to salvage at least one victory out of the current set Sunday afternoon whena the final game is scheduled start at 2 o'clock. Sammy White hit a tremendous triple in the fifth inning for the first two Boston runs. That blow tied up the tilt. Vic Power then hit a home run for Kansas City in the top of the seventh to send the visitors out front again. But not for long.
The first three Boston batters in the seventh, Bill Klaus, Ted Williams and Jack Jensen, hit safely for one run to bring in Tom Gorman who had stopped them the night before in relief of Vic Raschi. Not this time, though. Both White and Grady Hattun used the sacrifice fly to drive home two more tallies and send Boston out front for the first time the series. The runs appeared good enough because old Ellie Kinder had checked the Athletics in the sev. enth and eighth after coming to the relief of starter George Susce, who allowed Kansas City only one hit the last time he faced them in the mid-Western city.

Leo Kiely took over for him. faced pinchhitter Elmo Valo as the first batter. Elmer promptly doubled to left field for a run. Harry Simpson rolled out to Billy Goodman as the tying tally crossed the plate. Kiely taken out in favor of Tom Hurd.
Hurd walked Hector Lopez. Then an infield hit did the trick for the Athletics. Jim Finkgan hit it, a roller to Hurd's left. Tom got the ball too late for a at the plate, too late for a play at first as Valo streaked across the plate for what proved the winning run. Bill Harrington sent the Sox down in order in the ninth 10 make Gorman the winning pitcher, although Gorman had yielded the two sacrifice flies by Jackie Jensen and Gray Hatton that put Boston out front in the seventh.
Kansas City got an initial run in the first inning on a walk and three singles before Susce managed to setile down. The A's pit across another in the fifth on er's double and Slaughter's single. In the meantime. the Sox could do nothing with the offerings of starter Arnie Portocarrero for four, innings. But with two out in the fifth, Jensen jammed a single into short centerfield.
Zauchin walked. This set the stage for White's lusty triple, a drive against the left cenIter field wall that would have peen 3 home run except for the wind, and that was good enough. Power's homer, Boston's excel lent bid to apparently salt the game away in the seventh and then the damaging ninth, prove again the old adage that you never can tell in a game of ball. True enough to really hurt the Red Sox as for the second time they lost glorious chances to gain valuable ground in their bid to climb to the top of the American League heap. a 9 0 0 01 27 5 401-7 House, HatSF--Tuttle.
