WILLIE MAYS holds the ball marked to signify his entry Tuesday into one of baseball's most exclusive clubs for players with 400 or more home runs'. Mays is only the 1 0th man in history to hit that many round-trippers. Willie's big blast came in the third inning against St. Louis's Curt Simmons ond helped the Gionts to a 7-2 win and a tie for second place in the National League. (UPI Tele photo) Mays Hits 400th Home Run To Lead Giants In Big Win By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer It's going to take a big eraser to obliterate the names of Willie Mays and Warren Spahn ' from baseball history. Together they present a com posite picture of a perfect ball player. Individually, they are leaving in indelible heritage that will proclaim their fame for fu ture generations. Mays, one of the most exciting players ever to participate in the national pastime, reached a per sonal milestone Tuesday night when he hit the 400th home run of his major league carrer. Only four other men have reached that figure in National League history, and Mays is the first right-handed batter to do it. The blow touched off a three- run third-inning rally for San Francisco and helped the Giants beat St. Louis, 7-2, and move into a second-place tie with the Cardinals. Whereas Mays has the power, speed and versatility of the com posite player, Spahn provides the necessary pitcning aDiiuy. me 42-year-old southpaw, who learned how to win at an early age and still retains the habit, pitched scoreless ball over the final sev en innings Tuesday night to pro vide the Milwaukee Braves with a 3-2 triumph over the Houston Colts. ' It was Spahn's 17th victory of the season against five losses, and left him in excellent position to challenge Christy Mathewson's league record of 13 20-game seas ons. It also marked Spahn's 344th lifetime success, just one short of Tim Keefe on the all-time list of winners. The league-leading Los Angeles Dodgers scored three runs for the first time in seven games to down the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2, Smith Paces Qualifiers MEDFOUD (UPI) Justin Smith of the host Rogue Valley Country Club fired a two-undcr-par 70 Tuesday to pace the local qualifying in the men's division for the Southern Oregon golf tour nament Tuesday.

Defending champion Orange, Calif., remained in contention with i 3-1 win over the Utah Shamrocks of Salt Lake City. 'We'll Be Right Up There Dark Says, After Big Win SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) "When it's all over." said Alvin Dark, manager of the San Fran cisco Giants, "We 11 be right up there." N Dark was talking about the Na tional League pennant race just after watching his home-run hit ters explode Tuesday night led by Willie Mays who clouted the 400lh round tripper of his career in a 7-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. "I think we can beat Los An geles five out of the seven we have left to play with them," Dark added. "That would cut off three games right there. "I'm not worrying about what Los Angeles does tonight. I'm wor ried only about what they do the last two weeks of the campaign." With their triumph last night, the Giants climbed into a second place tic with the Cards, OVi games behind the Dodgers. The win featured three home runs hit in succession by Mays Orlando Ccpeda and Felipe Alou' in losefeHirg raps 4-3 Yank Mound Staff Claims Twin Shutout By TIM MORIARTY UPI Sports Writer Talk about . the rich getting richer. The New York Yankees, who have opened a hefty 12V4 game lead in bidding for their 14th pen nant in 17 years, now are brag ging about the hottest pitching staff in the majors. Four different men have hurled shoutouts for the Yankees in their last five games. Whitey Ford and Al Downing started the white wash jobs against the Chicago White Sox last weekend, then Jim Bouton and Ralph Terry blanked the Boston Red Sox in a double header Tuesday night. So in addition to spread-eagling the American League, the Yank ees are closing in one a club rec ord for most shutouts in a sea son. Manager Ralph Houk's cur rent staff has 18 to its credit. only six short of the team stand ard set in 1951 by the likes of Vic Raschi, Ed Lopat and Allie Reynolds. ,i Bouton, a part-time leweler. nearly carved a no - hit gem in the opener against the Red Sox. He settled for a two-hit, 5 0 vic tory. Terry spaced five hits in winning the nightcap, 3-0. Pinch hitler Russ Nixon broke up Bouton's no - hit bed when he led off the Boston ninth with a line drive that almost hit the Yankee pitcher. Gary Geiger fol lowed with another single but the chunky right-hander preserved the shoutout when Chuck Schilling bounced into a double play and Carl Yastrzemski grounded out to end the game. It was Bouton s 18th victory and fifth shoutout of the season. In the second game, the Yankees scored all their runs in the eighth inning with the help of a two run double by Yogi Bcrra to ease Terry to his 15th triumph. The Chicago White Sox moved into a second place tie with the idle Minnesota Twins by ripping the Cleveland Indians, 6-1: the Detroit Tigers downed the Los Angeles Angels, 4-1, for their sixth straight triumph, and the Kansas City Athletics edged the Baltimore Orioles, 2-1, in 10 in nings. In the National League, the Cubs nipped the Phillies, 4-3; the Pirates clipped the Mets, 2-1; the Braves turned back the Colts, 3 2; the Dodgers downed the Reds, 3-2 and the Giants defeated the Cardinals, 7-2. the third inning. Mays' homer, his 32nd of the year, placed him with the base ball immortals. Only nine other men ever have hit 400 or more home runs. Only four men still playing are in that class Stan Musial with 472; Eddie Mathews with 419; Mickey Mantle with 415, and Duke Snider with 403. Mays is only the second righthander to hit that many. "It was a thrill to hit the 400th, sure," said Mays after the game. "But no more than the first one I hit off Warren Spahn. If I hadn't hit that one I might not be here." Jack Sanford went the distance for his 13th win against 12 losses. "It was nice to get an early six-run cushion," said Sanford. "The club has gotten that many runs before. But I've never been around to enjoy them." The Giants picked up three runs In the second on an error, a hit batsman and singles by Jose Pagan and Harvey Kticnn plus a sacrifice fly by Jim Davenport off losing pitcher Curt Simmons.

Roseburg, '63 A Great Year For Legion Team By BILL SPARKS News-Reviiw Sports Writer Although the 1963 season may have been closed out on a note of defeat for the Lockwood Motors American Legion Junior baseball team, it was a great year and a real tribute to the players, their coaches and the more than 50,000 fans who turned out to give them wholehearted support during the year. During the season, the scrappy Roseburg squad battled its way to 51 wins and only a dozen losses, and when they finally went down they went down fighting to a great Somerville, Mass., team.

' With runners oh first and second, Morrison laced a fastball deep against the fence, but Camelio was there to pull it in and end the game. Camelio had been inserted in the Somerville lineup in the bot tom of the eighth as a defensive specialist and did his job to perfec tion as he ended the Pacific North west champions' bid for the nation al title. ., But it was relief pitcher Ron Amankowitz who really stopped the Lockwoods, as he came on in the bottom of the fourth inning with the bases loaded and no outs and struck out three men in a row to preserve Somerville's slim 4-3 lead. Fairballer Wins . Amankowitz then tangled with Roseburg ace Dick Williams through five innings of scoreless ball to knotch the win. Williams, who has proven himself time and again to be a great pressure pitch er, met the challenge again Tues day, as he went the full nine in nings, giving up the four runs on seven hits, one walk and striking out nine. Amankowitz struck out 10 in his six-inning appearance, while giv ing up three hits and walking three.

OPEN Friday Nite 'TIL 9 hits, striking out one and walking '"jlike Blomberg provided the nn.vnr fnr Roseburs Tuesday, as he laced a line drive homerun over the 350-foot mark in dead center field in the bottom of the third inning to tie- the game at I T. Dave Sevall led the Lockwoods at the plate with two singles in three trips to the plate, along with one rbi. Bruce Wassom, one for four, had the other rbi, while Lance Cascbeer was one for two and scored a run. Team-wise, the Lockwoods put un a much better performance than their 13-error showing in Sun day's opener of the tournament when they dropped a 23-9 deci sion to Omaha, Neb. They com mitted only three errors Tuesday night, and although one did ac count for a Somerville run, they played generally tight ball. The fielding gem of the Little World Series thus far was made by centerfielder Bob Manning, who leaped high in the air to spear a line drive off the bat of Jack Moun tain after it looked, like the ball was already over the fence for a home run. Somerville drew first blood when a, hard shot off the bat of Sam Greenwood bounced off Williams' foot and skidded on into left field for a freak double. After the next batter grounded out, Jim Driscole bunted for a hit to move Green wood to third. Driscole then took off on a double steal attempt, and while he was being put out at sec ond Greenwood raced home with the first run of the game. Blomberg stepped up to the plate in the second inning and laced a drive well over the wall to tie it up 1-1. This was the Roseburg left fielder's fourth home run of the season. Somerville came back in the top of the fourth when Mountain was safe on a throwing error which al a AnniifAVf am Lf" Ml,mf Cl JBI I Co o) lowed him to go to second. Pagli arni then stepped in and hit an in field grounder, which wa-. bobbled and allowed Mountain to score. Greenwood came up next and pounded a triple into deep right ind Amankowitz followed with a single to send Greenwood in with the fourth, ana wnat tinally prov ed to be winning run. The Lockwoods came bouncine right back in the bottom of the fourth, as Jim Beamer and Case beer drew back-to-back walks to open the inning. Wassom stepped in and pounded a single between third and short to score Beamer and he and Casebeer moved to second and third on the throw to the plate. Sevall stepped up and singled into right to score Casebeer and Wassom held at third. Boucock then walked to load the bases, and with no outs, it looked like the Lockwoods were on the way.- But that's when Amankowitz stepped to the mound from the third base spot where he'd start ed the game and whiffed the next three batters to preserve the lead and claim the victory. , Roseburg had runners on base every inning after that, but were never able to score, as Amankow itz came up with the big strike out every time he got in trouble. All told, they left 12 runners strand ed on base, while Somerville left only four.
