Koufax Gets 5-3 Win Over Cards; Giants Lose 6 - 3 By United Press International Sandy Koufax' left index finger has come around so well that he now uses it to form a circle with bis thumb. That's the sign everything is perfect again and it also could be a sign the Los Angeles Dodg ers are on the way to their first National League pennant since 1959. Koufax' finger probably cost the Dodgers the pennant last year when a circulatory ailment in it forced the left-handed fast i bailer to the sidelines during July. 'But the digit doesn't seem to be bothering him now and if there's any question about it, Koufax can point to his record of 11 victories against only three defeats. He pitched the Dodgers within a game-anda-half of first place Friday night when he beat the St, Louis Cardinals 5-3 for his fourth victory in a row. Koufax struck out nine and had a four-hit shutout going until the ninth when a single, a walk and Tim McCarver's two-out homer brought reliever Ron Perranoski in from the bullpen to get the final out. Davis Hits Homer Bill Skowron singled home two runs in the first inning off loser Curt Simmons (7-3) and after the Dodgers added another run in the seventh, Tommy Davis drilled a two-run homer in the eighth for what proved to be the decisive margin. The Cardinals, however, still retained their half-game hold on first place when the Milwaukee Braves beat the second-place San Francisco Giants, 6-3. Cincinnati made it four in a row with a 3-0 win over Houston, the New York Blehm Fires No Hit Game As Mocks Claim Two Wins Mock Motors continued on the rampage in YMCA Twilight League action this week by rolling to 13-1 and 14-0 victories over the Rose burg Merchants and the Vets Em ployees.

Roth stein began betting at odds 20 to 1 and even 30 to 1. . . .The horse was running in the last race so Roth stein told his agents to wait to bet only a few minutes before the race, so as not to change the odds. However, some of them got anxious and started to bet too soon. Word leaked out and by the time of the race, the odds had dropped to 13 to 5. Sidereal wort and paid off $770,- 000 to Rothstein, but to hii dying day, Rothstein would fly into a rage at the mention of the race and curse the agents who had dis obeyed his orders. . . . . .
