cut the Braves' lead to four
games Saturday with a 6-1 vic
tory over the New York Giants
while Brooklyn trounced the
Braves, 7-1.
Both teams have 13 games to
play. It was the Card's eighth
victory In 10 games, the Braves'
seventh loss in 10 games. Mil
waukee's lead now Is the small
est since Aug. 9, when It was
3Vi games.
In other National league tilts,
Robin Roberts of Philadelphia
proved you can't lose them all
when he pitched an eight-hit 5-0
victory over Cincinnati, and the
Cubs and Pirates split a double-
header, 3-1 for Pittsburgh and
7-3 for Chicago.
The White Sox, in second
place In the American league,
also gained on the leaders as
they beat the Yankees, 5-2, cut
ting the Yank lead to five games
with 12 games to go for New
York and 14 for Chicago. Wash
lngton beat Kansas City, 3-2, on
Roy Sievers homer; Boston out

their two games, 3-1 for Balti
more and 4-3 for Detroit.
Blasingama Hits
Don Blasingame drove home
three runs with a bunt, homer
and single to lead the Cards to
victory. Vinegar Bend Mizell
held the Giants to six hits in
their last game in St. Louis as
New Yorkers.
Carl Erskine, who hadn't
pitched a complete game in al
most a year, did it today against
Milwaukee with a four-hitter.
Brooklyn wrapped it up with a
four-run inning in the second,
based on three hits, errors by
losing pitcher Lew Burdette and
Hank Aaron, and a walk.
Roberts, already a 20-game
loser, was at his old-time form
today, and even helped in the
attack as his safe bunt filled the
bases during a four-run seventh
inning. Brooks Lawrence was the
loser.
Frank Thomas hit a two-run
homer in the ninth inning to
give Pittsburgh its victory, but
in the second game Ernie Banks
of the Cubs socked three home
runs his 38th, 39th, and 40th
to give his club one victory in
the four-game set. Banks now is
tied with Aaron for the league
lead in homers.

makes the right moves, made a
sour one today as the White

O'Malley
Said Sold
New York W Walter O'
Malley, who can't be sure wheth
er he'll be talking to Nelson
Rockefeller or a $150-a-week
sportswriter when he picks up
the telephone these days, said
today he is "just ignoring" tin
ancier Sinclair Robinson's
charge he already has commit
ted the Brooklyn Dodgers to Los
Angeles.
Only 24 hours earlier, O'Mal
ley had just ignored Robinson's
$7,500,000 offer to purchase the
Dodgers with a curt, formal
statement that, "Obviously,
nothing need be said about this
type of publicity," O'Malley
compounded the insult by hav
ing the statement issued by Ar
thur Patterson, a Brooklyn ex
ecutive who is not even in the
Social Register.
Robinson replied Friday night
with a , 270-word telegram in
which he charged:
O'Malley has definitely de
cided to move the club to Los
Angeles.
That he made a written
agreement to do so.
That O Malley signed an
agreement last May with Skia-
tron to allow the company to
televise Dodger games in Los
Angeles.
O'Malley, awakened at his
Amityville home, said sleepily,
I think I'll let Patterson handle
the telephone calls on this one."

Randy Sandy
Syracuse, N. Y. HP) Frank
Szuzina, a stocky German mid
dleweight, said today he hopes
to move into the better paying
big-time fight circle because of
his surprise win Friday night
over lanky Randy Sandy.
"I've been in the country 16
months and have fought 17 times
so it's about time I started pay
ing my way," the five-foot-six-inch
fighter said following his
unanimous win over Sandy in
a televised 10-round bout.
Referee Joe Palmer scored it
6-3 and one even for the 161
pound Szuzina, Judge Ray Kahl
scored it 5-3-2 and Judge Dick
Albino had it 5-4-1, the same as
the UP card. Sandy, a New
Yorker, weighed 155.

By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Presi Sports Writer
San Francisco (IP) Pacific
Coast League President Leslie
O'Connor, a nan of few words
recently as his loop faced ex
tinction in the face of a major
league invasion, now has plenty
to say about the game's meth
od of awarding damages and
it's all bad.
. "The arbitration board as it
now is set up for deciding in
demnities is a phony," O'Con
nor declared Friday "Arbitra
tion is supposed to be handled
by one man acting as a quasi-
udge and not representing any
particular group," O'Connor
said.
No Answer To Letter
He also seemed perplexed,
rather than bitter, at the fact
that National League President
Warren Giles "never answered"
a letter which. O'Connor sent
to the two major loops and Com
missioner Ford Frick three
months ago asking for help in
re-aligning the PCL if the Dodg
ers and Giants "take" Los An
geles and the San Francisco ter
ritory.
"I ' never heard from Mr.
Giles," O'Connor said. "Mr.
Frick told me he could not help
because he is a member of the
arbitration committee. Mr. Will
Harridge said he would take the
matter up at the next American
League meeting."
Baseball law calls for an ar
bitration committee to decide
how much a league and its
clubs should receive in damages
if their territory is drafted for
major league expansion and oth
er negotiations break down.
Among those on the complex
seven-man board would be
Frick, representatives of the
league and teams involved, min
or league czar George Traut-
man and a seventh man to be
named by the other six.
Only One Arbitrator
The only real arbitrator I
can see there would be this sev
enth man," O'Connor, a lawyer,
asserted.
He said that the Coast League
might refuse to do business with
this group and would hold out
for another kind of arbitration.
O'Connor also warned that his
league possibly would sue for
damages if it stayed in business
despite a Giants-Dodger shift.
"If we lost San Francisco and
Los Angeles and had to re-align
we could be getting lemons for
oranges after losing those two
cities," he said.
He added that league mem
bers have been thinking about
forming a 12-team loop next year
divided into a Northern and
Southern Division with the two
winners' meeting for the pen
nant. At the same time, he also In
dicated that the PCL might not
be around next year if there
were a shift.
