Black, a year-long victim of the "sophomore jinx," took over for Rookie Johnny Podres in the fourth, allowed only two hits and gave up one run in the ninth for his sixth conquest of the year. The Dodger triumph, coupled with the Giants' 4-1 vic tory over Milwaukee, stretched Brooklyn's lead to 10V? games. Carl Furillo drove in three runs with his 21st homer, a double and a single to pace the Dodgers' 14-hit attack. Gus Bell of the Redlegs smashed his 28th homer off Podres In the third inning and then walloped his 29th for the only run scored off Black in the ninth. ' Ruben Gomez registered hir 12th victory by pitching the Giants to their triumph over the Braves but even so, the fifth place New Yorkers lost all mathematical chance of overtak ing the Dodgers. Southpaw Paul Minner of the Cubs hurled a six-hit shutout to defeat the Phillies, 2-0, as Robin Roberts was tagged with his 11th loss against 21 victories. Rip Repulski's 14th homer snapped a 3-all tie in the seventh inning and gave the Cards a 5-4 decision over the Pirates. Murry Dickson, who yielded the homer to Repulski, was charged with his 18th setback while Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell gained his 12th victory although needing relief in the ninth. The Yankees' American League lead was shaved to 8V2 games when they bowed the In dians, 6-0, as the second-place White Sox defeated the Red Sox, 5-1. Bob Lemon, Cleveland's sink erball specialist, held the Yan kees to three meager hits while racking up his 18th victory and third shutout of the year. In sweeping their three-game series with the league-leaders, the In dians got to Rookie Steve Kraly for three runs in the fourth and another in the fifth. Al Rosen in the fourth got his 35th homer. Rookie Connie Johnson was credited with Chicago's triumph over the Red Sox although he needed help from veteran Virgil Trucks in the ninth. Southpaw Mel Parnell, seeking his 18th victory, was charged with his eighth loss instead. In the only other game sched uled, Jackie Jensen hit a three run homer and Bob Porterfield pitched seven-hit ball to pace Washington to a 7-2 victory over Detroit. IN TRAINING Hastings, Neb.

Harrington trailed Simmons a good share of the time in the 36-hole skirmish which opened Friday afternoon. Eddie was 2 up when the 31st hole of action was reached yesterday. Harring ton grabbed the 33rd with a par to cut Simmon's lead to 1-up. The two halved the rest of the holes with pars. Long Chip Clinches Clincher for Simmons was a 40-foot chip shot that stopped inches from the hole. His ad versary conceded the putt and the match. The finalists went into the final 18 yesterday early in the afternoon after Simmons had gained a 1-up lead in the Fri day round. Harrington birdied No. 19 to even the match and they halved the remaining hples on the front nine of the course, getting pars except on 22, which both bogied. Harrington three putted on that green. Simmons was one under par on the 28th to go 1-up and he took the next hole, too. Har rington cut down the gap with a birdie on the 30th but Eddie got the next to go 2-up once more.

U.R) A three-way tie in the home stretch yesterday sparked the possibility of a play-off match in the annual $15,000 Insurance City Open Golf tournament Frank Stranahan, Toledo am ateur, Jim Ferrier of San Fran cisco and Bobby Toski of North hampton, Mass., finished the third round with totals of 202. With one round left the field was tightly bunched. If an 18 hole play-off is necessary, it would be held Monday. A second-place tie after yes terday's round increased the pos sibility of additional play for the title. In this spot were Tom my Bolt of Maplewood, NJ.t who had a 67 for 203, and Jim Turnesa of Briarcliff, N.Y who had a 72 for 203. Turnesa's low 131 Friday put him in the lead, but his 74 on the third lap erased much of the value of his tournament low of 64. Stranahan's 64 matched Turn esa's low. Ferrier had a 69, two under par and Toski a 70.
