Newspaper Page Text10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mttiford, Lee Walls Smacks Three 5 Cubs By UNITED PRESS Lee Walls, a "lousy golfer," used the Los Angeles driving range to hit three perfect '"nine-iron shots" that had the Dodgers plenty teed off today and the surprising Cubs sitting pretty atop the National league. As a golfer, Walls shoots in the 100 s and as a hitter he to taled only six home runs and 33 runs batted in last season. But the Cub outfielder real ly takes to that coliseum "course," especially the friend ly left-field green which is only 83 yards f-om home plate an easy nine-iron shot for any pro. He liked it so much Thursday that he blasted three home runs over it and drove in eight runs in a run-away 15-2 victory over the Dodgers. Walls didn't play any favor ites, either. He socked his first homer off loser Don Drysdale with one on in the first inning, his second off Roger Craig with two on in the fifth, and his third off Ron Negray with one on in the seventh. Bobby Thomson also homered for the Cubs. Rookie Gene Fodge shut out the Dodgers until Charley Neal hit a homer in the sev enth. Don Zimmer also con nected in the eighth. What burns the Dodgers so much about that (censored) screen is that some joker told them it would work out to their advantage. It certainly hasn't so far. Opposing clubs have hit 14 homers at the Coli seum while the Dodgers have hit only nine. Three of these enemy clouts were off Drys dale, who dropped his third straight game Thursday. The only consolation the Dodgers had was that Duke Snider played six innings and got one hit in three trips. Sni der had been fined a day's pay for spraining a tendon Wednesday night while trying to toss a baseball over the rim of the Coliseum. In other National league games, Warren Spahn and Hank Aaron combined to lead the Braves to a 6-2 triumph over the Redlegs; the Giants came up with two runs in the ninth to beat the Cardinals, 6-5, and the Pirates defeated the Phillies, 7-4.

Kansas City retained second place with a 7-2 decision over De troit, and the Indians dumped the White Sox into the base ment by beating them, 6-4. Rain postponed th Yankee Senators game.

Brooks Lawrence yield ed Milwaukee's first three runs and was charged with the loss. The Giants won their game from the Cards when Daryl Spencer beat out an infield hit with the bases loaded in the ninth. Ex-Giant Ray Katt had put St. Louis ahead with a homer off winner Ray Crone in the top of the ninth but Katt's error allowed San Francisco to score the tying run in the bottom of the frame. Hank Sauer hit his fourth and fifth homers of the year off starter Wilmer Vine gar Bend Mizell but reliever Billy Muffett was the loser. Win for Friend Bob Friend was credited with Pittsburgh's victory over Philadelphia although he needed Roy Face's help in the ninth. Friend blanked the Phils until the ninth when he ran into a pair of singles, a double, triple and Bob now- man's two-run homer. Face came in, served up one pitch which Harry Anderson nit hack to him for the final out Dick Groat and Bob Skinner each had three hits to account for half of Pittsburgh's 12-hit total. Curt Simmons was tne loser. Pinch hitter Dick Gernert singled home Gene Stephens with the bases loaded in the 10th inning for Boston's win nvpr Baltimore Gernert struck his blow off Billy O'Dell, who nnk over the Orioles pitch ing in the eighth inning.

Daryl Spencer, whose two run homer with two out gave the Giants an 8-7 heart stopper over the Cards in the ninth frame on Wednesday, drove home the winning tally Grid Pros again Thursday with an in field single. Two were out and the bases full when Spencer tapped . a roller down the third base line and Danny O'Connell roared home. Third baseman Ken Boyer, seeing he didn't have a chance on O'Connel, made a desperate peg to first to try and nail Spencer for the third out but the big shortstop got there first.
