Goodwin stressed the fact that this was not an emergency meet ing, but merely a regularly scheduled one held every year about the time of the All-Star game in the city of the preced ing year's pennant winner.

Durocher was forced to re main in the clubhouse because of a virus infection Tuesday night but was reported feeling "just fine" after Maglie's performance. The 37-year-old curveball special ist yielded a run in the first in ning on two hits and a sacrifice fly and then went on to strike out seven batters and yield only three hits the remainder of the way. Perfect May Slate Maglie dropped all three of his decisions in April but rebounded to post a 6-0 slate in May and silence talk that . he might be washed up as a star pitcher. He now has turned in four com plete games and sports a glit tering 2.07 earned run average. Bob Friend, a 25-year-old right hander, became the first pitcher to beat the Dodgers twice this season with an eight-hitter spiced with nine strikeouts. The Pirates supported him with a 13-hit at tack that included a homer by Jerry Lynch and key blows by Dick Groat and George Freese in downing rookie relief ace Ed Roebuck. Friend had trouble only in the fourth inning when Roy Campa nella blasted a two-run homer his 13th, tying him for the major league lead with Cincinnati's Ted Kluszewski and Sandy Amoros followed with a homer. Mossi, a 25-year-old southpaw with a blazing cross-fire delivery, relieved Bob Feller in the eighth inning and limited the Orioles to two hits in six shutout innings as the Indians gained their fifth victory in six games. Mossi, who had a 6-1 record and 1.94 ERA last season, has yielded only one run in 2 23 innings this year for an 0.44 ERA. Feller, seeking his second win of the season and the 264th of his career, allowed only four hits in seven innings but one of them" was Gene Woodling's home run which stood up until Philley's ninth-inning round-tripper.
