Bob Friend First Ten Game Winner By FEED DOWN United Press Sporti Writer Bob Friend gained the honor of being the major league's first 10-game winner Friday and set hi sights on becoming the Pitts burgh Pirates' biggest winner since Burleigh Grimes notched 25 victories in 1928. The 26-year-old righthander gained his 10th decision of the season when he shut out the St. Louis Cardinals, 2-0. in 11 in nings to pitch the Pirates into undisputed possession of second place. It was Friend's second shutout in two tries against the Cardinals and he also has tossed four one-run games in a bril liant 10-3 campaign. The Pirates have had only four 20-game pitching seasons since Crimes' 25-game campaign, Ray Kremer scoring 20 in 1930, Truett Rip Sewell notching 21 in both 1943 and 1944 and Mur ray Dickson gaining 20 in 1951. The 40-year-old Dickson was the hard-luck losing pitcher Fri day night, matching pitch for pitch with Friend for 10 innings. During that period he fanned eight batters and walked only one while Friend struck out nine and issued four bases on balls. In the 11th. however. Dick Cole and Bill Virdon singled with one out. Dickson retired Lee Walls but then Dale Long, coming through as he so often has in Friend's games, broke the scoreless deadlock with a single. Frank Thomas followed with an other single to give Friend an insurance run. Friend, who struck out Stan Musial with the bases filled to get out of trouble in the 10th, retired the Cardinals in order in the 11th.

Meanwhile Promoter Jim Nor ris announced, "I'll try to match Patterson and Moore for a 15 round fight in September, and I'll try to have it recognized by all boxing organizations as a fight for the title left vacant by Rocky Marciano's retirement." Patterson and Jackson will re ceive the largest purses of their careers, $40,000 each, guaran teed from the $75,000 TV-radio fee and from the gross gate of $68,038.
