Dodgers Win 2-1 iut Kouf ax Fails In Bid For No. 20 By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Wrlttr The first million is supposed to be the toughest but those first 20 aren't exactly a snap either. Ask Sandy Koufax. The frustrated Dodger south paw, still looking for the first 20 game season of his career, has come right down to the wire twice now only to wind up with a big handful of nothing. Well, not exactly nothing. The Dodgers did come on to beat the Braves, 2-1, Sunday and fatten their National League lead to 6'i games over both the Card inals and Giants, so Koufax wasn't complaining. But it did hurt a bit to come within one out of his 20th victory and his 11th shutout without achieving either. .Koufax had a three-hitter and a 1-0 lead until the ninth when Eddie Mathews doubled and then Gene Oliver doubled with two out to tie the score. ;' Manager Walt Alston decidedd to bring in Bob Miller at that point, and after Miller retired the figers Win Pair; Near 1st Divison By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Ordinarily, ballplayers don't give a hoot who s elected mana ger of the year.

(UPI) The United States may not take the Davis Cup away from Australia this year but at least the nation's tennis players can boast they again hold their own national doubles championship. Young Dennis Ralston and Chuck McKinley before a record Longwood Cricket Club gallery recaptured the title Sunday from Mexicans Kafacl Osuna and An tonio Falafox. All four, together with a host of others, moved on to Forest Hills, N.Y., where the U.S. national championships get rolling on Wednesday. Ralston and McKinley collect ed a strange distinction by win ning their rubber match from the Mexicans since the quar tet have been finalists here for the last three years. In vic tory, they became the first home grown tandem to win tlio title twice since veterans Gardnar Mulloy and Billy Talbcrt aged beyond title competition just 15 years ago. Mulloy and Talbcrt won the 83-ycar-old tournament a record four times a mark Mc Kinley, 22, and Ralston, 21, might well have a shot at if they re main in form. - Ironically, while the United Slates was winning the men's championship for only the sixth time in 18 years, the nation dropped a share of the women's crown for the first time in 27 years. Australians Margaret Smith and Iiobyn Ebbcrn became the first of their nation to take the championship by beating five time titlist Darlcne Hard of Los Angeles and two-time winner Ma ria Bueno of Brazil. Ralston and McKinley tri umphed in two hours and 40 min utes at 9-7, 4-6, 5 7, 6-3, 11-9 while Smith and Ebbcrn took their title trophy, 4-6, 10-8, 6-3 in a clash that lasted one hour and 25 minutes. 4 "f f . - KW4 WWX VWTVamanMM VMW WVWOT BIT it. i a i u h?

Koufax now has allowed only two runs in the last 18 23 innings, yet docs not have a victory to show for it. He held the Cardinals to one run last Wednesday and left that game with the score tied 1-all after 10 innings. The Dodgers won it in the 16th, 2-1.

They honestly feel he deserves the award and hope he gets it, too. He certainly rates consideration off the job he has done since taking over the Tigers from Bob Scheffing on June 18. Detroit languished in ninth place at the time, and Charlie insisted the club could finish in the first division. There was some snickering in the audience over that statement although anyone checking the standings today will find the Tim ers only a half-game out of the first division. 'We heard a lot of stories about Charlie before he took over and none of them proved to be true," says Al Kaline. "He's really done terrific job." Dressen has at that. The Tigers were limping along al a sickly .400 clip the day he became their manager. They'vo won 37 and lost 30 for a far more im pressive .552 percentage since he took over the head chair. Winners in eight of their last nine games, the Tigers extended their latest winning streak to five games Sunday with an 11-5 and 4-3 doubleheadcr sweep of the Kansas City Athletics. Rocky Colavito, Norm Cash and Kaline each hit homers and drove in three runs apiece in the open er as reliever Terry Fox notched his sixth victory. Dick McAuliffe then belted a three-run homer in tho sixth inning of the nightcap to help Jim Bunning gain his 10th triumph. The Yankees blanked the White Sox, 4 ,0 in the first of their two games but lost the 12-inmng night cap, 2-1; the Red Sox beat the Indians, 8-3, but Cleveland took the 15-inning nightcap, 2-1; the Twins toppled the Orioles, 5-3, in 10 innings, and the Senators de feated the Angels, 4-1. In the National League, the Dodgers stretched their lead to 6V4 games with a 2-1 victory over the Braves; the Colts whipped the Cardinals, 3-1; the Reds knocked over the Giants, 8-7; the Phillies beat the Pirates, 4-2, in 11 innings, and the Cubs defeated the Mcts, 3-1.

H. Sun day nint in Roseburg's first game in the Little World Series. The Lockwood Motors squad, however, dropped a 23-9 decision to a powerful Omaha, Neb. team. Beamer, shown friere in his familiar batting form against Billings, in the championship gome of the Regional Tournament in Roseburg, lined a 360-foot shot over the wall in the first inning and hit a towering 350-foot drive out of the park, in the seventh. (News-Review Photo) Baker Paces Rams To Win Over Dallas In NFL Upset 8 The News-Review. Roseburg, Pott Tops Palmer To Claim By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor AKRON, Ohio (UPI) There are two things that Johnny Pott, the now champion of the Ameri can Golf Classic, likes to do Win money and beat Arnold Palmer. He did both Sunday. Pott won the $9,000 first-place money in the Classic by beating Palmer by four strokes. He shot an even par 35-3570 in the final round Sunday over what the tour ing pros label the toughest golf course they have to play the 7,165-yard Firestone Country Club layout. For Pott, it was only the fourth tournament victory in his seven years on the tour. "But it was by far my great est," said the 27-year-old Pott. When you beat Palmer, you beat the greatest." Pott, before Sunday, hadn t won a tournament since I he Waco Turner in May of 1962. Be fore that he had won at Dallas and West Palm Beach. Now he has set his sights on this week's Denver Open. "I'm only sorry Palmer won t be there," he said. "I'm going West All-Stars Edge Past East In Shrine Came PENDLETON (UPI) West used a third-period touchdown to defeat East 6-0 in the 12th annual Shrine A-2 and B all-star football game before an estimated 8,000 persons here Saturday night. The victory gave West a 7-4 '. edge in the series. There has j been one tie. West's touchdown came when halfback George Prummcr of To ledo took a direct snap from cen- j tcr and passed 12 yards to quar-i tcrback Tom Jcrnstcdt of Yam-1 hill-Carlton. Time ran out with East on the j West four-yard line. i Jernstedt was named the most ! valuable player in the contest, i Prummer and Ranee Sopko of Seaside were named the outstand-1 ing back and lineman, respective- i ly, for the winning team. Quarter-1 back Greg . Hartman and Gary j Ncal, both of Central, were cho-1 sen for the same honors for the losers. East rolled up an 8-5 edge in ' first downs and a 156-116 advan tage in total yards.

Mon., Aug. 26, 1963 Classic to have to beat him a lot more before I get even with the times he has beaten me." Pott, who tied for the first- round lead and then led the field alone going into the third and Lf"ur,.h rounds - picking up $2 - 333 in bonus money for doing it - figured when he teed off Sun day that "I had to shoot a 68 or 69 to win." His total of 276 for the four rounds tied the tournament rec ord set by Palmer when he won the Classic last year. Palmer had some consolation. His $4,600 second-place money made him the first golfer ever to go over the $103,000 official money-winning mark in a single year. Palmer s final round 37-36 73, three over par, gave him total of 230 exact par for the course and increased his money- winnings to $101,555. "I just didn't play well, said Palmer, who had three bogeys and not a single birdie on the fi nal round. U.S. Open champion Julius Bo ros, with a final-round 71, fin ished third with 281, which was worth $3,000 and that boosted his money-winnings for 1963 to $73, 956. That is only behind Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, the Masters and PGA champion, who picked up $2,200 by finishing in a tie for fifth place to increase his official earnings to $83,465. Pott's first-place purse in creased his year's golfing gold to a total of $24,115, putting him 13th on the list. Young Dave Hill finished fourth with a 69 for 282. Then came Nicklaus and British Open champion Bob Charles at 283.

SAFETY SPECIAL BRAKE ADJUSTMENT NOW ONLY mm PORTLAND (UPI) .- Terry Baker may not have won the starting quarterback's job with the Los Angeles Rams Saturday night but he didn't hurt his chances. , The rookie from Oregon State guided the Rams to a 20-17 Na tional Football League exhibition win over the Dallas Cowboys be fore 29,349 persons here. It. was the Rams' first victory and the Cowboys' initial defeat in three exhibition games this season. The starting quarterback job wide open and always has been," Los Angeles Coach Har land Svare said after the game. hvare, whose quarter backs corps includes sophomore Roman Gabriel and veteran Zeke Brat- kowski, would not divulge who would open at quarterback against the Cleveland Browns in the Rams' fourth exhibition game next weekend. "It takes years to become a polished quarterback in this league but Terry was consider ably better than a week ago (in part-time effort in a 27-3 loss to Minnesota)," the coach added. "He called 99 per cent of the plays tonight." The victory, which came before the largest crowd ever to see a professional football game in Multnomah Stadium, was the first for Los Angeles since last Oct. 28 when it defeated the San Francis co 49ers 28-14 in a league game. It was Svare's first win as head coach of the Rams. Appropriately, Baker provided the Rams with their winning touchdown, a 44-yard pass to Per vis Atkins on the first play of the final period. Trailing 17-10 at halftime, they collected a 23-yard field goal by Danny Villanueva in the third period. The Ileisman Trophy winner completed 12 of 20 passes for 192 yards and picked up 21 yards in two runs. He had one pass inter cepted. I Five other players with Oregon ' backgrounds also shared the spot-, light. Bill Swain, former University of , Oregon center from North Bend, ' played the entire game at middle linebacker for the Rams in place of the injured Marlin McKccver. Amos Marsh went most of the way at fullback for Dallas and gained a net of five yards on 10 carries. Mike Gaechter, formerly of Oregon, played the entire game in the Cowboys' defensive backfield, and Sam Baker, an ex Beaver, did Dallas' punting and kicked a 45-yard field goal and two extra points. 1 25 REG. $2.40 MOTORS, Inc. 1590 NE Stephens 672-3358 ii 1 88 LockWoods Drop 23-9 Tilt Sunday By BILL SPARKS News-Review Sports Writer Dick Williams, Roseburg's chips down pressure pitcher, will toe the hill Tuesday night in the battle to keep the Lockwood Motors hopes alive in the American Legion Jun ior National Baseball Tournament at Keene, N.H. The Lockwoods will face Somer ville, Mass. in a game which will mark the end of the tournament for one of the teams. Somerville dropped a 4-2 decision to Long Beach, Calif, in the first game of the Little World Series Sunday aft ernoon and Roseburg suffered a stunning 23-9 defeat at the hands of Omaha, Neb. in the nightcap. Roseburg and Somerville will square off at 7:30 p.m. (EDT) and broadcast time over KQEN radio is set for about 4:25 p.m. Roseburg time. Beamer's Bat Booms The only bright spot of Sunday night's game for Roseburg was the power hitting of catcher J i m Beamer. Beamer laced a line drive over the center field fence 360 feet away in the first inning for a three-run home run and then came back in the seventh to hit a high towering fly over the fence 350 feet away for another three-run round-tripper. He had a total of seven runs batted in in four offi cial trips to the plate Sunday. But other than Beamer's hitting, it was a bad night for the Lock woods, as they committed 13 er rors, most of which proved costly throughout the three-hour game. Nightmare First Inning The Lockwoods went through a nightmare first inning that started when Omaha first baseman Chuck Shimcrdla stepped in with runners on first and second and one down and blasted a delivery by Rose burg starter Ran Cool for a three run homer, and ended when Shi merdla came up for his second trip in the inning and grounded out to , shortstop Artie McDonald to end the inning. When the dust had set tled, Omaha had scored eight runs on five hits, three Roseburg er rors, a pair of walks and one hit batter. Five of those runs were un earned, coming after the errors be gan with two outs and runners on first and second. Roseburg, trailing by the big 8 run margin, came fighting right back in the bottom of the first, as Mike Blomberg walked on four straight pitches to lead off for the Lockwoods. With one down, Bob Manning laced a single into center. And then it was Beamer and he stepped in to clear the bases with a line drive over the center field fence. Outlook Brightens The outlook brightened for the Lockwoods in the second inning, as Cool displayed the form fans here are used to seeing, striking out two men and getting the third on an in field line drive to retire Cmaha in 1-2-3 order in the second. Lock woods also failed to score in that inning, although Cool drew a walk and advanced as far as second. In the third inning, Omaha cen ter fielder Dick Vacck belted a home run to lead off, but Cool set the next three batters down in or der. Artie McDonald led off the Rose burg half of the third with a walk, and stole second. Manning then singled and took second on a throw to the plate that kept McDonald at third. Beamer was robbed of a if IS DOW . fa II Superbly smooth and mellow Fine Straight Kentucky Bourbon O Taste Favorite since 1869 tit 011 Kivmct iiimtEir base hit when Omaha shortstop Len Boryce knocked down a line drive and threw him out at first. McDonald, however, scored on the play. First baseman Ron West brooks hit an infield single to drive in Manning and make it 9-5 at the end of three. Roof Caves In The roof began caving in on the Lockwoods in the fourth, however, as again with two down and run ners on first and second, they made a succession of three costly er rors. Omaha took advantage of the situation and scored three more runs, making it 12-5. The fifth inning also saw trouble for the Lockwoods, as Omaha put together a pair of singles and a costly Roseburg error to score one run and leave runners on first and second, with no outs. At this point, coach Bill Harper made a pitching change, relieving Cool and bring ing in right-hander Rojelio Gutier rez. Gutierrez came on in a bad spot, with the pressure on every pitcfl, and although he struck out two he had some control trouble and Oma ha scored three more runs, mak ing it 16-5. The sixth inning also saw the tournament jitters get the best of the Lockwoods, as they committed three errors for the third inning in the game, allowing Omaha to score another trio of runs on only two hits. Roseburg, meanwhile, had gone three up and three down through the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Errors cost the Lockwoods again in the seventh, as Omaha pushed in three more runs. With one out, Harper called in Dick Williams, who forced Shmirdela to ground to the shortstop. McDonald forced one runner at second and Markham fired to Beamer to catch another at the plate to end the inning. Beamer Again Witli one out in the bottom of the seventh, Williams walked and Blomberg and McDonald hit back to back singles to load the bases. Williams scored on a wild pitch and Beamer then lofted the next pitch over the center field fence for a 350-foot three-run homer. Williams, loosening up for Tues day night's game, pitched the eighth inning too without giving up a hit. Jon Burnham came in in the ninth and gave up one hit, as Roseburg's 13th error cost him a run, Omaha's 23rd. Omaha, by way of contrast, play ed errorless ball, making the Lockwoods earn each of their nine runs. All of Roseburg's 16 players got into their first National Tourna ment game Sunday night, and each had at least one turn at bat.
