The final contest of the Pacific Coast fcF Stops feeds; Gain On Braves By FRED DOWN UPI Staff Writer . The crux of the National League pennant race may be that Johnny Antonelli is enjoying his best sea son in. five years while Warren Spahn is having his worst in seven. Antonelli, San Francisco's star lefty, is now, 10-3 and, enroute to his finest year since he had a 21-7 record .for the world champion plants, in .1954. Spahn,. who aver aged 21 victories a season for the last six years, stands 8-8 and is headed for his worst record since he was 14-19 for the Braves in 1952. The .Giants made hay out of the situation again Wednesday 'when ihey advanced to within a half game of first place by beating the Cincinnati Itcds, 7-5, while the Dodgers clipped the Braves, 10-2 and 4-0, in a twi-nlght double header., .. ., . , . , . Antonelli Wlnt 10th , , Antonelli, went seven innings for his 10th victory for, San Francisco but the Dodgers rocked Spahn for five .runs in 1-3 of an inning to set up their rout in the opener at Los Angeles. The Chicaao Cubs beat the Pl- ratos. 5-2. and the St. Louis Car dinnls whipped the Philadelphia " Pilllcs. 10-4, in other NL games. In the American League, the New York Yankees defeated the Chi cago White Sox, 7-3, the Baltimore Qtioles edged out tne Detroit ii gcrs, 4-0, and the Washington Senators beat the Kansas City Athletics. 7-2., Antonelli yielded nine hits and walked two batters but struck out six before he gave way to Sam Jones in the eighth after Pete Whisonant led off with a homer. The Giants had taken a 7 2 lead In the sixth with a five-run burst. Jim Gilliam greeted Spahn with a Icadoff homer and the Dodgers went on to rout Spahn with an attack that included a three-run first-inning triple by 245-pound robke Frank Howard. Sandy Kou fax went the distance behind the Dodgers' 15-hit attack. ' i McDevItt Pitches 1-hltter ' Danny McDevItt pitched a two hitter to best Joey Jay In the sec ond game which was scoreless un '(it the Dodgers tallied two runs in the seventh. Cal Neoman's three-run inside-(hc-park eighth-inning homer ena bled Bill Henry of the Cubs to win his filth game and dealt Har. vcy Haddlx his fifth defeat. , Rookie Marshall Bridges yielded one run in 5 1-3 innings of relief to pick up the win for St. Louis in his major league debut. The Cardinals clinched ,the victory in the fifth when they sent 10 men to bat.and scored five runs. Ityne Durcn's 2 2-3 innings of strong relief and Mickey Mantle's 14th homer led a 14 hit Yankee attack and lifted the world cham pions back to the .500 mark with a second straight win over the White Sox. 4 i , ,i Milt Pappas pitched a two-hitter for his first big league shutout and Gus Triandos and Chico Carras qticl homered for the Orioles.

League series is tonight The Beavers, smarting .from Eddie Fisher's one-hitter Tuesday and the 6-0 beating., scored single runs in the first and eighth and two in the fourth inning. A single by George Frcese with the bags loaded that scored Milt Graft got the Beavers rolling in the first frame. In the fourth, Nini T o r n a y scored as Clarence Moore forced Jim Westlake at second, and Owen Friend's toss toward first base went into the dugout, letting Jim Greengrass in. Tornay hit a single to center in the eighth to send Russ Snyder home with the last Portland tally. No question about it, the Pacif ic Coast League race appears to be one of the tightest in, years. With almost half the season played, you still can't count any of the clubs out of the race. Last-place Seattle did a neat Job of tightening up the race Wednesday night when it dealt league - leading , Sacramento a double loss by 7-6 and 9-4 counts.

' ' Mark Freeman,, who was re lieved by Bill Kennedy In the sixth, was the winner and is now 3-3. , In the second game Sacramento got off to a J 2 lead after Bob Perry broke a 2-2 deadlock with a 400-foot homer with Dick Phil lips aboard in the fourth. But the stubborn . Rainiers came back with a single tally in their half of the inning and four in the sixth to cinch the double win, Ken Johnson of Portlund tossed a commendable five-hitter against phoenix,, the toughest, hitting club in the circuit. It was his seventh victory, against five defeats. The loss dropped Phoenix into seventh place. . i . Johnson Collects Fifth Win .

Rodritiucz, , a 2-1 favorite' in a late switch - of odds, gave Akins a solid. flrubhing to gain the unani-j mous decision in their nationally.-! televised 10-round bout Wednesday night, the fourth loss in the last five bouts for AJcins. , , I ' Although Rodriguez hinteo1 broadly that -Akins has-"lost hjs' punch." the former champ insist; od today that he's not considering retiring. "I'll fight some more and'knocli off a few more," Akins declared.' "I'll be back up again." But the lopsided nature of RooV riguez' triumph, 21st for the 22 year-old Cuban who was making his U.S. debut, left the future very murky for the 32-year-old Akjfij of St. Louis, Mo., whose caeer has been sliding downhill since he lost the crown last year to DolJ Jordan. The three ring officials voted for Rodriguez v as follows: Judge Freddie Aaronson,' 99-92; Judge Carl Gardner, 99-93: and Referee Cy Gottfried, 98-93. The UPI score sheet agreed, 99-93. There were no knockdowns, but Rod:iguez . was pretty , much in command from the second round on. Th Cuban was carrying thc. fight to Akins. and the ex-champ appeared to be socking a one punch explosion that would turn t.'io fight his way. Akins, . who weighed 148 pounds to Rodri guez' 147, never found that op oort unity. RED CROSS SWIMMING CAMPAIGN - - , .
