Bruton Triples In Winning Run In 6th

—Bill Bruton tripled in the winning run in the sixth inning Tuesday night as the Milwaukee Braves beat the Brooklyn Dodgers: 3 to 2, before 34,731 fans at County Stadium.

The Braves* victory, coupled with Cincinnati’s defeat of Phila­delphia gave the Milwaukee team undisputed leadership in the Na­tional League by a full game over the Redlegs.

Bob Buhl, although he was re­lieved by Ernie Johnson in the seventh inning, was credited with his second victory of the year for the Braves. Buhl issued nine walks but was effective in the pinches until he tired in the late innings.

The Braves got two runs in the first inning on Henry Aaron’s sin­gle, Joe Adcock's triple and Chuck Tanner’s single.
