(Photo by Bob Leber) American League Pitching Shines In Monday's Action By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Notice how those American League managers always are cry ing about lousy pitching? Notice, too, how they're not saying one single word today? They couldn't possibly, because they wouldn't have a leg to stand on after one look at Monday night's boxscores. For example: Robin Roberts and Mickey Lolich tangled in a pair of two hitters until Dick Brown hit a pinch two-run homer with two out in the ninth for a 2-1 Baltimore victory over Detroit. Joel Horlen hurled hitless ball for 8 1-3 innings, then wound up losing a two-hitter when Don Lock's two-run homer with two out in the ninth brought Washing ton a 2-1 win over Chicago. Dean Chance of Los Angeles held Cleveland hitless until the seventh and settled for a two hit 11-0 victory. Radars Shines Again Dick Radatz came up with an other one of his brilliant relief jobs to nail down a 7-5 triumph for Boston over Minnesota and Dave Wickersham of Kansas City pitched his first major league shutout to stop the Yankees, 5-0, in the other AL games. Over in the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers checked a four-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, the Milwaukee Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds, 8-2, and the San Francisco Giants won their eighth straight with a 5-4 decision over the Pittsburgh Pi rates. Roberts' two-hit victory over the Tigers was the 253rd of his major league career and his ninth of the year for the Orioles. Lo lich had a one-hitter and a 1-0 lead until pinch hitter Al Smith singled with one out in the ninth. The Detroit rookie then got Luis Aparicio on a fly ball but Brown came off the bench to deliver a two-run homer that dealt Lolich his sixth setback in 10 decisions. Heart-Breaking Loss Horlen's loss to the Senators was equally heart-breaking. Re called from the minors last week, the White Sox righthander held Washington hitless until Chuck Hinton singled over second base with one out in the ninth, j Larry Osborne grounded out for Ihe second out but Lock then drilled his 17th homer into the left field bullpen. Lock's homer made a winner of knuckleballcr Ronnie Kline, who relieved starter Steve Ridzik in the eighth. The only Cleveland hits off Chance were Fred Whitfield's bloop single in the seventh and Woodic Hold's single in the eighth after Los Angeles had already clinched the game with an eight run rally in the third. Felix Torres highlighted the An gels' outburst with a grandslam homer off Jerry Walker, who had relieved loser Dick Donovan. Chance struck out 12 batters and walked two in bringing his rec Spahn By United Press International Warren Spahn now ranks as the all-time left-handed strikeout king of the majors but you'd better put an asterisk in front of that. Until Friday, anyway. That's when Milwaukee's super lative 42-year-old southpaw is due to work next and since he'll go against the Mcts that night, he'll probably dispel any existing ques tion. Actually there should be no question even now. To all intents and purposes Spahn broke the strikeout record for left-handed pitchers by fanning five batters in an 8-2 victory over Cincinnati Monday night. Those five strikeouts upped his major league total to 2.378. No argument there. But there is some argument over Rube Wad dell's total. Most record books say the for mer Philadelphia Athletics' south paw struck out 2.375 batters dur ing his career but in some books his total is listed at 2.381. ord to 10-10. Donovan now is 6-9. Bill Monbouquette registered his 14th victory for the Red Sox although tagged for four homers by the Twins. Radatz came to Monbouquette's rescue in the eighth and struck out three of the six batters he faced. Loser Jim Perry ran into a five-run Boston rally in the first, marked by Dick Stuart's 22nd homer with two on and Ed Bres soud's 13th homer with the bases empty. Roman Mcjias doubled home two more runs for the Red Sox in the third. Bob Allison hit his 23rd homer for the Twins, Earl Battey his 21st, Vic Power his sixth and Don Mincher his 10th before Radatz made his 44th appearance of the season. Wayne Causey's two-run homer in the first inning and Norm Sie bern's three-run blow in the sixth settled matters between the A's and Yankees. Both blows came off Al Downing, who went down to his third loss in nine decisions. Wickersham scattered eiaht hits for his eighth victory and for ius urst snutout against the Yankees since Aug. 31, 19G0. McKays Drop 2 Loop Tilts McKay Drugs lost two games in the Twilight Softball league last weekend, as they were edged 3-2 by the Winston Merchants Friday night and downed 12-3 by Suiter's Saturday. The win for the Winston team was its second of the year, giving it a victory in its first and last games. Everett Carleton was on the mound for Winston and held McKay's to one hit, a single by John Pardon. Mike I Tilt rapped out two hits in three trips to the plate for Winston. On Saturday, Suiter's broke the game wide open in the fifth and sixth inning by exploding for sev en runs. In the hitting depart ment, for Suiter's, Lcnnic Floth went two for five, Jim Taylor three for five, Leonard Floth Sr. two for four, Lcs Forney two for three, and Butch Richardson two for four, including a triple. Jim Taylor, pitching his first game of the year, picked up the victory by striking out seven and walking five, while giving up only three hits to McKays. Mock Motors won the Twilight league championship Saturday by defeating Suiters 4-3. LINESCORES: Suiters 212 034 0 12-13 McKays 200 010 0 3- S Batteries: Suiters, Taylor and Cummings; McKays, Bray, Fen nel! (4) and Pardon. Winston 200 100 0 McKays 000 110 0 i Batteries: Winston, Carleton and Wesley; McKays, Hcssclgesscr and Pardon. Defeats Reds 3-2 I Ostensibly that was all settled 17 years ago when Bob Feller was officially recognized the sin I gle season record-holder after i striking out 348 batters for Clevc ' land in 1946 Feller was acknowl edged to have broken the record even though Waddcl was credited , with 313 strikeouts for the 1904 i season in some books and 343 in i others. i Those six strikeouts by Waddell 'are the same ones under question : now even though it was all sup : posed to have been settled in 1946. According to the Little Red 1 Book of Baseball, Waddell's total i was 2.375. But some purists insist on going by "One for the Book." which lists Waddell's total as 2.381, Regardless, Spahn has a much better chance of getting rid of his asterisk than Roger Maris has. ; All the veteran southpaw needs is four strikeouts against the Mets Friday night and he'll be the new r e c o r dholder in everybody's book. Mulligans Cop Kart Honors The Darrell Mulligan family from Springfield had a field day ai ine iri-Lity Ran Track Sun day, winning first place honors in three events. Darrell Mulligan tied with Dick Allen of Peedsport in the Group One competition. Lynn Mulligan won first place in the junior boys division and Beverly Mulligan cap tured first place in Group Two. dick Allen s wife Evie picked up a second-place trophy in Group Two, to account for another fam ily winning. The only Roseburg drivers to cap ture honors were Ncal Flanagan and Clarence Silvers, who finished first and second in Group Three. uonna Brock ot Eugene tied with Silvers for the second-place slot. in tne junior Doys division. Dan Kocks of Springfield finished sec ond and Bill Savard of Mcdford came in third. George Wilkinson of Eugene placed third in the Group Two action. Top times among the 31 cars en tered were 24.5, coming for Darrell Mulligan in the adult division and for Jerry Cordray in the juniors di vision. Among the highlight's of the races, sponsored by the Roseburg Slo-Karts, was a collision between Orville Cornett of Roseburg and Charles Cutting of Eugene in the fourth lap of the first heat in Group Two. Cutting's kart was flipped over and he suffered from several asphalt burns and was unable to continue the race. Cornett got cleared away and went back to fin ish the race. Also in the Group Two races, T. E. Kerwood of Medford went off the track, flipping his kart over three times and ending up in the pit area during the first lap of the second heat. Kerwood was not injured, but had to repair his kart and engine. He raced in the next two heats. Wayne Denny of Eugene, in Group One, lost control of his kart, running into the fence during the fifth lap of the first heat. Denny was not injured, but was unable to finish the races because of engine trouble. The next races will be Aug. 11. Champion Races Scheduled Here Roseburg Speedway has been selected for the site of the two day Pacific Northwest stock hard top championship race on Aug. 24 and 25. Don Hein, president of the Pa cific Racing Association, said to dav that hardtops from all the western states will be represent ed at the event, which will guar antee a purse of at least $2,000 or 50 per cent of the gate, which ever is larger. A Seattle racing association has already indicated their intention of entering at least 10 of their top cars and drivers in the contest, and entry forms are being sent to individual driv ers throughout the northwest and into Canada. The cars will time in for po sition in the usual manner, but only the top 32 cars and drivers will be eligible to compete in the main events with a consolation race being held for those unable to time in under a specified time. The event is sanctioned by the Roseburg Junior Chamber of Com merce, and reserve seat tickets will go on sale within the next few days. North Roseburg Faces BLM Today North Roseburg Church tries tonight to break back into the win column when it meets the Bureau of Land Management on the Veterans Administration dia mond at 6:30.

It lost to St. Joseph's, 11-8 and the Vet erans Administration Patients, 10 6. while winning one from the Conservative Baptists, 6-4. Its last . outing was the loss to the VA i Patients. I Spahn held the Reefs to six hits Monday night in posting the 340th victory of his major league ca reer and his 13th triumph of the season compared with five de feats. Hank Aaron's 30th homer of the season with one on and Lee Maye's eighth homer with one on, both off loser John Tsitouris in the first inning, proved enough margin for Spahn, who later yielded solo homers to Vada Pin- son and frank Robinson. The Los Angeles Dodgers I snapped their four-game losing streak and maintained their 4' game lead with a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies while the San Francisco Giants won their : eighth straight by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4, in the only other National League ac- j tion. 1 Sandy Koufax checked the Dodgers' backslide with a five hitter over the Phils that earned ; him his 17th victory against four i losses.

The Indians stretched their northern division lead to 6V2 games when Portland edged sec ond place Tacoma 3 2 in a sharp pitching duel between Monty Monteagudo of the Beavers andi Ron Herbcl of the Tacomans. In other action Monday nicht. Salt Lake edged San Diego 9-7 and Seattle picked up a 10-4 de cision over Hawaii. Everybody else took a break, but all 10 teams are in action again to night. Monteagudo helped h i s own cause at the plate in the contest at Portland. He singled in the third and came on Billy liar roll's double and also knocked in a run in the fourth win an infield single. Harrcll's homer in the seventh put Portland ahead 3-0. But in the ninth, Tim Talton and Gil Garrido singled. A sacri fice fly, a double by Jesus Alou, and a single by Joe Sparks made it 3-2. The 19-year-old Monteagudo, now 9-10, increased his loop-leading strikeout total with 10 more. Herbcl is now 1210 for the Giants. Salt Lake starter Cal Kooncc was staked to leads of 7-2 and 9 4 by his heavy hitting mates and needed those runs when San Di ego's Jim Saul whacked a three run homer in the ninth. Fred Burdcttc, one of the league's sharpest relievers, came in to preserve the win. Jesse White, Bob Will, Billy Cowan and Ii'ack Kuykcndall all belted two hits apiece for the winners, while San Diego's Ito gclio Alvarez also hit a homer for the losers. Seattle roared off to a five run lead in the first inning and then and walked four. Two-run homers by Tommy Davis and Willie Da vis sent 37-year-old Cal McLish down to his sixth defeat com pared with 10 victories. Willie Mays' 24th homer with two on gave the Giants their vic tory over the Pirates and marked the third time within a week that Mays has delivered a game-winning homer. His blow wiped out a 3-2 deficit and came off Vern Law, who also gave up a solo homer to Chuck Ililler in the third. Jim Duffalo, second of four Giant pitchers, was credited with the victory, his third without a defeat. The loss was the 10th straight for the Pirates at Can dlestick Park dating back to last season. In the American League, Balti more shaded Detroit, 2 1, Boston downed Minnesota, 7-5, Los Ange les crushed Cleveland, 1 10, Wash ington beat Chicago, 2 1. and Kan sas City blanked New York, 5 0 ( 1C r,. i News - Review, Roseburg, Ore. 5 coasted in as Pete Smith and Hal Kolstad combined on a five-hitter. Mel Nelson surrendered most of the Seattle runs and absorbed the defeat. Dave Hall and Russ Gibson each knocked home two runs in the big first inning. But the news was not all alum for the Islanders.

N Y. (UPI) -Linebacker Harry Jacobs, who played three seasons for Boston, was purchased from the Patriots Fri day night by the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League. It was a straight rash deal. Ja- j cobs played his collegiate ball Bradley. lilt Am' 4 w O CHICAGO (UPI) - Usually bogey won't win n duffer a beer, but for pro golf's leading money winner, Arnold Palmer, a bogey was good for $11,000 and tho Western Open championship. Palmer won with a bogey be cause Julius Boros got a double bogey. The third playoff contest ant, Jack Nicklaus, also got a bogey. The over all performance of the trio on the 205-yard 17th hole at Beverly Country Club Monday may have been the worst ever on network television or in the final round of a $57,200 tourna mcnt. Palmer, who would up with i one-under-par 70 for the 6,807 yard course, said he had "seen worse," however. Boros finished with a 71 and Nicklaus with a 73, Palmer, who said he played "pretty well for 13 holes and then I wasn't too sharp," started the 17th tied with Boros at two under par, with Nicklaus even par. Palmer hit into a (rap and Bo ros into tho rough behind the green. Nicklaus' tec shot stopped five feet from (he pin. Palmer's blast from the trap went 35 feet past the pin and Boros dubbed his approach and his ball stopped 22 feat short of the flag. Both missed their first putts. This set up a situation in which there could have been a three way deadlock if each player sank his next putt. Instead, Nicklaus missed and three-putted for his four. Palmer sank his putt for the bogey. Boros, barely 18 inches from the flag, missed and three putlcd for a five. This hole wrapped up Palmer's sixth tourney championship of the year. On the 18th he parrcd, miss ing a 12-foot birdie putt, but Bo ros missed his birdie try from seven feet to lose his comeback chance. The trio tied for first place aft er the regulation 72 holes with 280, four under par, to set up the playoff. Palmer's victory increased his 1903 earnings to $90,055. Both Boros and Nicklaus earned $4,450 for the round with Nick laus increasing his 1963 earnings to $79,590 and Boros to $69,996 to run two-three behind Palmer. The trio contributed their 50 per cent of the day s gate receipts to the Cluck bvans caddie fund. It was Palmer's sixth win in 11 playoffs and the second playoff defeat for both of his opponents in four tries for Nicklaus and five for Boros. It was the seventh play off in 30 tournaments on the PGA tour and the fourth for Palmer in his last five tournaments. Shorts Ccbrdtn Tuesday !

The fast-balling right handcr turned in tho greatest performance of his career as he struck out 17 Klamath Falls batters, including sinking out the side In the tension-packed ninth inning. Williams gave up only four hits and one walk as he had his fast ball hum ming past tho Falcon batters and his curc nipping at the corners of tho pinto throughout the night. In addition to fanning tho 17, Williams threw out four runners as he fielded brilliantly from the mound, took one on a slow hopper and oiitraecd the runner to the bag and took a throw from first baseman Dave Sevall on a ground er for another out. And at the plate, he worked Falcon pitcher Jim Jackson for a walk in tho bot tom of the sixth inning and raced home on a wild pitch later on to score the Lockwoods' first run. Both Lockwood runs came in the sixth inning, as Bob Manning pounded out his second hit of the night, a line drivo single between til rd and short after Williams had scored. Manning stole second and scored when Jim Beamer laced line shot single through the same hole between third and short. Monday niuht was the now-or never Kamo for Iho Lockwoods, us thev had come down to the wire in their best two-oul-of-thrce playoff with the Falcons.

With all the chips on the table, conch Bill Harper once again call ed on Williams to stop the t nicons. He had beaten them 13-1 in tho playoffs last year to claim the area crown. Williams issued four hits Mon day night, all of the scratch vari ety. The first was a looping fly ball over third by Larry Bmney in the first Inning. Next came a nigh hopper by LoVoy Young In the third that came down slow enough to allow the fleet Young to beat tho Uirow to first.

West German publications arc predicting victory for their team and there is little to indicate that the German girls will fail.

He struck out the side in the first, second and ninth innings and racked up a pair of strike outs in the fourth, fifth and seventh. Manning led the defending state champions at the plate, as he broke the ice in the bottom of the fourth by blasting a 1-0 pitch 350 feet off the right field fence for a triple. Jim Beamer came within a few feet of putting the Lockwoods ahead 2 0 at that point when he flicd deep to left to end the inning. Williams started the rally in the sixth by working los.'r Jim Jack son for a walk. Mike Blombcrg then stepped in and laid down a ficrfect sacrifice bunt to move Wil iams to second. Artie McDonald struck out, but the Falcon catcher dropped the third strike, and when he threw to first to get McDonald, Williams moved on to third. Jack son then threw a wild pitch, al lowing Williams to score the first run of the game. Then it was Manning s turn to wield the power bat again, as he singled, stole second and scored on Bcamer's single. Roseburg's other hit was a line single over the shortstop s head by second base man Mike Markham in the bottom of the seventh. Monday night s vital win gave Williams a 10-2 record for the sea son and boosted the team record to 42 won and eight lost. Salem will come into town Thurs day night sporting a 33-3 record.
