Spahn And Roberts deep Hitlers
Guessing While Compiling Wins
By United Press International
Forget those pennant races for
moment and sound a salute for
Warren Spahn and Robin Roberts
two grand old pitchers whose
baseball obits were prepared
somewhat prematurely.
Spahn, who had only an 811 re
cord on July 13, gained his lfth
victory of the season 'When he
pitched the Milwaukee Braves to
an 8-1 win over the Philadelphia
Phillies Sunday while Roberts,
winless until June 11, chalked up
his seventh triumph for the Bal
timore Orioles, 7-2, over the Los
Angeles Angels.
. 320 Wins
The victory was the 320th of
Spahn's career and gives him an
outside chance to achieve his 13th
20-win season. Roberts' win was
the 241st of a career that seemed
ended when the New York Yank
ees released htm in June.
Spahn yielded six hits and
walked one batter in squaring his
season record at 11-11. He was
backed by a 10-hit attack which
included two homers by Joe Ad
cock that drove in five runs. Ed
die Mathews also homered for the
Braves who dealt Dennis Bennett
his seventh defeat.
Roberts allowed five hits and
lso walked only one batter in
raising his season mark to 7-4.
Triples by Jerry Adair and Dick
Williams drove in five Baltimore
runs and a homer by Brooks Rob
inson produced another. The loss
was the seventh in 11 games for
the Angels, who are now 6V4
games behind the front - running
New York Yankees in the Ameri
can League race.
Dodgers Split Twlnbill
' The Los Angeles Dodgers beat
the Chicago Cubs, 4-3 in 14 in
nings and then suffered a 4-2 loss
that ended the league - leaders'
three-game win skein; the San
Francisco Giants shaded the Pitts
burgh Pirates, 2-1; the St. Louis
Cardinals beat the Houston Colts,
7-4, after losing by the same
score and the Cincinnati Beds
scored a 6-3 win after the New
York Mets won their opener, 5-2,
in other National League games.
The Chicago White Sox made
it two in a row over the Yankees,
3-2, in 13 innings; the Minnesota
Twins beat the Detroit Tigers, 8-3,
in 11 innings and then lost, 5-2;
the Boston Red Sox dropped their
opener, 2-0, but the defeated the
Washington Senators, 5-4, in 11
innings, and the Kansas City Ath
letics whipped the Cleveland In
dians 3-2 and 5-2 in other AL ac
tion. The Dodgers won the four-hour
and one-minute first game when
Tommy Davis singled home Tim
Harkness in the 14th inning. Don
Cardwell pitched a three hitter,
including I two-run homer by Ron
Fairly, to win his fifth game of
the season In the nightcap.
O'Dell Takes 13th Victory
Billy O'Dell pitched a five-hitter
and singled home the winning run
in the seventh inning to post his

Dairy Maids Scare
In One-Run Loss
Roseburg's Lumberjills gave the

Roseburg capitalized on Dairv
Maid miscues early in the game,
and worked the Rogue River pitch
ers for 11 walks. Behind the pitch
ing of Brenda Solnicka and Glen
na Wolford the Lumberjills played
heads-up ball.
The game was decided in the bot
tom of the seventh with two away.
Left fielder Bighorn blasted a trinle
to drive in the runner on first .with
the. winning tally. . ; .
The Jills' keystone' combination

with a triple in Roseburg's six-run
sixth inning.

Fred Skeels came up with his
second one-hitter in a week to
lead the Conservative Baptist nine
to a lopsided 18-4 victory over the
Vets Patients in a YMCA Church
League softball title,
Skeels again missed his no-hitter
in the seventh inning. This time
the bid for the no-hitter was spoil
ed by Gaines' towering triple.
Skeels had his other bid for a no
hitter ruined Wednesday in the sev
enth when he tossed a 15-0 shutout
victory over the Latter Day Saints.
In dumping the Vels, Skeels
struck out 10 and issued six walks.
From the opposing pitcher Skeels'
teammates collected 14 hits.
Leading hitters with two apiece
for Conservative Baptist were Ad
dison Talbot, Skeels, Roy Keller,
Bill Ford and Bob Shelton. Ford
and Shelton each had perfect 2-2
games.
Conservative Baptist scored 10
runs in the first three innings to
more than ice the victory. A five
run uprising in the fifth, combined,
with single runs scored in the
fourth, sixth and seventh gave the
winners a total of 18 marks.

Angels Get Bird
As Orioles Use
Tough Old Robin
BOSTON (UPI) The Orioles
used their robin Sunday but it
was the Angels who were for the
birds.
Baltimore's Robin Roberts
ultched a five hitter as the Orioles
swept a three-game scries from
Los Angeles with a 7-z victory.
Able to total only 15 hits and
e runs in the three games at
Baltimore Memorial Stadium, the
fallen Angels arrived at Boston
for this evening's game against
the Red Sox.
Rookie Dean Chance (8-6) was
named by manager Bill Rigney
to pitch for Los Angeles who
was more concerned about his
suddenly inept batters. Don
Schwall (5-11) will pitch for Bos
ton. Chance either will have to be
in near-perfect form tonight or
the Angels will need to snap out
of a slump that has harried them
for the past few games. A team
isn't going to win many games
on a five-hit average even
against the Red Sox.
Roberts, the 35-year-old onetime
Philadelphia Phillies ace who was
released by the Yankees this year
because they considered him fin
ished, stymied Los Angeles on a
combination of experience and ef
fectiveness. Lifting his record to
7-4 for the season, Roberts used
his newly developed forball pitch
to strike out four batters.
His control was excellent only
one Angel drew a walk in the
nine innings. And Roberts lowetied
his earned run average 2.48. not
bad for a pitcher who at the end
of 1961 was cut loose by a ciud
that finished with the worst rec
ord in the National League.
Only Albie Pearson and Billy
Moran were able to hit Roberts'
pitching. Pearson, the diminutive
Angels ccntcrficldcr, led off the
first inning with a home run to
give Los Angeles a 1-0 lead.
Moran got three singles in lour
at bats and scored the Angels'
only run.
Trailing 2-1 in tne nun, Balti
more's Jerry Adair rammed a
triple off losing pitcher Ell Grba
that drove In two runs ana sent
the Orioles into the lead 3-2.
Then pinch hitter Dick Williams
killed any los Angeles chances by
hitting a bases loaded triple in
the eighth. Ron Hansen's double
drove in Williams to nnisn tne
scoring. The Angels were finished

Survive Critical
Pinch With Split
LOS ANGELES (UPD-The Los
Angeles Dodgers survived their
most critical pitching situation
since Sandy Koufax was sidelined
by splitting a doubleheader with
the Chicago Cubs Sunday and
settled for only the loss of a half
game to the second-place San
Francisco Giants.
Manager Walt Alston said 10
days ago that the Sunday double-
neaacr would be crucial because
he would have to start both
games with rookies, going with
Phil Ortega in the first and Pete
Richert in the second.
The Dodgers won the first
game on the pitching of Larry
Sherry in relief and the timely
hitting of Tommy Davis who
singled home the winning run in
the 14th inning for a 4-3 victory.
Richert lost the second game
but few pitchers would have beat
en Don Cardwell who gave up
only three hits in recording the
4-2 victory. But for Ron Fairly's
homer in the seventh he would
have had a shutout.
Podres Faces Mets
With the doubleheader now in
the past, the Dodgers tonight go
back to their top hurlers. Johnny
Podres, who is riding a four-game
winning streak after a slow start,
will take the mound against the
rejuvenated New York Mets. And

Alston arranged his pitching
schedule so that Podres, Drysdale
and Stan Williams would be the
pitchers starting Friday when the
Dodgers open their three-game
scries at San Francisco against
the Giants that could decide the
National League race.
Thanks to their victory over
Pittsburgh Sunday, the Giants
are now 4Vi games back of the
Dodgers. A twin Los Angeles loss
would have cut the Dodgers lead
another full game.
Howard's Payof Peg
There were several key plays
in the 14-inning opener but the
biggest of these was the perfect
throw Frank Howard made from
right field to catch Ernie Banks
at the plate in the sixth inning.
Had he scored, the game would
have ended with a 4-3 Chicago
victory.
Banks and George Altman both
homered and had seven of the 12
Chicago hits between them.
Tommy Davis, with four hits in
six times at bat, drove in two
vital runs. In the seventh he
singled with the bases loaded and
two out to score the run that tied
the game. And his 14th inning
single scored pinchhltter T i m
Harkness from second with the
winning run.
Larry Sherry worked seven re
lief innings, his longest mound
stint cf the year, and did not give
up a run. Ho now has five relief
appearances without yielding a
run.
Maury Wills increased his stolen
bases to 57 and now has the best
National League mark in thefts
since Max Carey stole 58 In 1918.
