Bohannon 473 Handag 111 Christian 510 stamps him as the National league's top relief ace. Marv's four victories equal his en tire 1957 total. The 6-3, 205-pound right hander, who looks like a sher iff on one of those adult Westerns, came through again Wednesday night when the Giants restored their lead to two games with a 7-6 triumph over the Philadelphia Phil lies. The win enabled the Gi ants to pick up a full game on the Milwaukee Braves, who lost a 12-inning, 7-4 deci sion to the St. Louis Cardi nals. Kirkland Connects Willie Kirkland, who was seven years old when Gris som started out in Class D ball back in 1941, delivered the game-winning blow a two-run ninth-inning homer off Philadelphia relief star Dick Farrell. Farrell carried a 5-4 lead into the ninth but the Giants tied the score on Hank Sauer's single, Orlando Cepeda's double and Daryl Spencer's sacrifice fly before Kirkland connected with his game-winning shot. It was the 10th win in 15 games on this road trip for the Giants, who always did make it a point to travel first class. Don Blasingame tied the St. Louis Milwaukee game with a ninth-inning triple and the Cardinals finally won out in the 12th when a walk, two singles, a hit batsman, a sacrifice fly and Joe Adcock's error produced three runs. The game was marred by five errors and 19 walks.

Ernie Banks hit his 10th and 11th homers and Dick Drott, the winner, pitched a six-hitter as the Cubs snapped a three-game losing streak.

Gomez, fined by National league President Warren Giles for his part in Sunday's melee in Pittsburgh, insisted, "it won't come from my pocket." "I'll quit baseball before I pay that fine," Gomez told re porters. "The "most they can do to me is put me out of baseball and then I'll go back to Puerto Rico and make just as good a living as I'm mak ing now." Unperturbed Rigney was unperturbed by Ruben's threat, however. "Ruben knows he's gotta pay," smiled Rigney. "I talked to him and he's gonna pay." Giant center-fielder Willie Mays meanwhile, received a telegram of commendation for "clear thinking" from Giles.

(UPI) There's a new method of pick ing the starting lineups for this year's big league All-Star game on July 8, but indica tions today were that there won't be any changes in the rules about the pitchers. Casey Stengel, New , York Yankee manager who annual ly pilots the American league team as an old "Yankee custom," wants a rule to pro hibit managers from using all star pitchers on the Sunday before the Tuesday big game. Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick was quizzed Wednesday about Casey's pro posal while he was announc ing arrangements for this year's carnival of the stars at Baltimore's Memorial Stadi um. .

Harridge re fused to comment at all. But Giles said: "I N personally- would be against suggesting anythi-.g to a manager. That might hurt his chance of winning a championship game." Vote Away From Fans The big change, this year, of course, is that the starting lineup for both leagues will be made up of "ballplayers' ballplayers." This is the first time that the lineftps will be picked by balloting of the major-league players, manag ers, and coaches. Frick took the vote away from the fans because of "ballot box stuffing" in Cin cinnati. The Redlegs fans voted so early and often that last year they picked an en tire starting lineup of Cincin nati players for the National league, excepting Stan Musial. Frick announced yesterday that the players' voting will start on June' 22. Players are allowed to vote only for play ers in their league and not for players on their team.
