Giants Spoil LA Win Streak; A's Stop Tigers 10-3 United Press International Leave it to the Giants to S)oil the Dodgers' party! Just when Walt Alston and his Los Angeles crew were beginning to talk pennant, along come the Giants to score a 6-4, 13-inning victory ani end the lonest win ning streak of the year in the Na tional League at seven games. And so, instead of the Dodgers being in second place only a half game behind the Milwaukee Pitt's AD Take Post With AAW SAN FRANCISCO iL'PH-Thc new Athletic Assn. of Western Universities goes into business of ficially Wednesday with none oth er than Rear Adm. Ret.l Tom Hamilton in command of the ship Hamilton, former Naval Acad' tmy football coach and athletic director at University of -Pitts-' burgh for the past decade, accept ed the new post Monday on a five- .ar contract. He will come West today to meet officials in San Francisco and 1OS Angclesr then return to Pittsburgh until Aug. I. lie takes over his new duties on Sept. 1, with headquarters in San Fran cisco. ..,., , ., As "executive officer" of the AAWU. Hamilton will direct the athletic activities of Southern Cal ifornia, Washington, California and UCLA in the new conference, which succeeds the old Pacific Coast Conference. "I took the post because of the fine opportunity," said Hamilton. "I have been working for a great university. Now I can work for four great universities." It is probable that before Ham ilton is settled in his new office very long there will be more than four schools in the conference. Stanford has been asked to join and President Dr. Wallace Ster ling is looking into the feasibility of becoming the lifth members. It is possible that Oregon, Oregon Slate and Washington State also may be asked to join. Most 'of these schools- already are on each other's football sched ules for at least the next five or six years. -They also compete auainst each other in basketball, track and field, golf, swimming, wattling, boxing, baseball, etc. ' Hamilton had been contacted to take the job more than a month ago. He was one of several who were considered for the post. "We are extremely pleased we were able to attract Hamilton." said Dr. Frank Kidner, faculty athletic representative at Univer sity of California and chairman of the organizing committee for the new association. "He is a national figure who commands respect among his colleagues In intercol legiate athletics." Braves, it's the Giants in second. two percentage points ahead of Los Angeles. It was a typical, old-fashioned Giant-Dodger game Monday night in which five homers were hit, a key nlayer was injured in a freak accident and the team had to battle three hours and 51 minutes before a decision was reached. Thirteenth-inning homers by Jim Davenport and Willie Mays final ly broke it up nnd gave Mike Mc Cormick his seventh victory of the year. McCormick entered the game in the ninth inning and went the rest of the way to best Stan Williams who took over from Sandy Koufax in the 13th. The victory may prove costly to the Giants because slugging first bnseman Orlando Cepeda was struck in the face by a liner off Willie Kirklund's bat in the 13th and was taken to Daniel Freeman Hospital. The Kansas City Athletics scored eight runs in the 10th inning to beat the Detroit Tigers. 10-3. in the only other game in either league. Krrors by pitchers Barney Schultz and Bob Smith helied the Athletics stage their big uprising which also included doubles by Kent Hadley and Hay Boone and singles by Hoger Maris, Bob Cerv and Frank House. Bud Daley, who worked 9 1-3 innings, was credited with his eighth victory while Schultz suffered his second defeat.
