With the long-ball hitting Cin

the San Francisco Giants.
By their 4-1 victory Monday
night tbe Braves moved to second
place a game back of the Giants
while Los Angeles dropped two
games back into third place.
For today's finale, manager
Walt Alston named Roger Craig.
8-5. while Joey Jay. 5-10, was
nominated for the Braves.
A crowd of 53,765 Monday night
saw Bob Buhl hold the Dodgers
to one hit until the bottom of the
ninth when he loaded the bases.
But Don McMahon came to the
rercue and retired the Dodgers
in order, striking out two of the
three men he faced.
Crand ait's Hamer Key Blew
For the Braves, a homer by
catcher Del Crandall with a man
on base m the second and a single
by outfielder Bill Bruton that
drove in two runs in the seventh
gave Buhl his margin of victory.
Wally Moon homered in the fourth
for Los Angeles' lone tally.
Don Drysdale suffered the loss
and he left the game in the sev
enth after giving up all four runs
to the Braves. - -
"About all- I can say is that
they outhit us, out pitched us and
outplayed us," Alston muttered
in the clubhouse after the game.
"We didn't deserve to win."
' The Dodger manager reported
that second baseman Charlie N'eal
had re-injured his left leg that
was hurt earlier in the season and
might not be able to play today.

Davenport wrenched his left

score. There nas been some talk
since that Davenport might ave

In the meantime, left fielder
Jackie Brandt, aging Danny O'
Connell and rookie Jose Pagan
have tried to hold down Jim's job
without conspicuous success!' No-
mcrus balls have skipped jpasl
the area for hits which Daven

for just another infield out.

It was a rocky situation at third
Monday as the Cincinnati Reds
defeated the Giants, 4-1. with tne
aid of a brace of errorS. by
Davenport's replacements. ' The

night left San Francisco hanging

Danny O'Connell, who started
at the hot spot Monday, commit
ted a boot in the - third inning
which set up one unearned Cin
cinnati tally. Jose Pagan, whs re
placed him, then erred in-.' the
ninth to start the Reds .on the
way toward another unearned run.
While Rigney mulled over.the
possibility of using Davenport, he
was pretty sure he'd throw Mike

banished Ed Bailey, plus a solo

Hutchinson, the Reds manager,
followed Bailey into Siberia after
storming out of the dugout to take
up his catcher's cause.
But with Dotterer around, the
Reds hardly vould say they
missed Eds hefty bat. Dutch
cracked solid singles off Antonelli
in the fourth and sixth frames to
bring in runs then tallied one him
