game series with the second

a half game bulge over the
Pads but that could be cut to
a mere half game if San Diego
can repeat last week's three
out of four series victory over
the Solons.
Both clubs warmed up for
the crucial set with wins Wed
nesday night. Sacramento ran
up its highest run total of the
season as it crushed Phoenix,
12-3, while the Padres whip
ped Salt Lake, 6-1, behind the
seven-hit pitching of Jake
Striker.
In the only other PCL

Existence
For Haddix
By RAY W. DOHERTY
Milwaukee - (UPD - Harvey
Haddix will be living in a
goldfish bowl for the next few
months.
The little Pittsburgh Pirates
lefthander will be the subject
of interviews, endorsements,
banquets, and even a National
league ceremonial because of
the 12 innings of perfect base
ball he threw at the Milwau
kee Braves Tuesday night.
The historic chore will
mean some extra money for
him too. How much isn't cer
tain at this time, but one un
official source said it could
boost his income this year by
'$10,000, maybe more. Tele
vision show doubtless will be
after him to tell his story.
The. razor blade sponsors will
probably want him to shave
before the cameras.
He was deluged with tele
grams Wednesday and he
probably gave more inter
views 'in a day than he had in
his seven years in the majors.
"Look at my eyes," said
Haddix in the Pirates dugout
before Wednesday night's
game with Milwaukee. "I
didn't get as much sleep today
as I usualy do."
"You probably were the
most photographed and talk
ed about man in the country
today," said a reporter. Just
then another radio man came
up and asked if Haddix "was
ready." With that he walked
over to the corner of the dug
out to repeat the story of how
he set down 36 Braves in a
row without a hit and ther
lost in a whacky 13th inning.
It wasn't until midday
Wednesday that the score was
finally decreed to be 1-0 by
National League President
Warren Giles.
The whole affair was com
plicated. Joe Adcock hit the
ball over the fence with
Henry Aaron and Felix Man
tilla on base for what should
have been three runs. But the
big first baseman passed
Aaron, who had stopped run
ning .because he thought the
ball was inside the park and
Mantilla had already scored.
Umpire Frank Dascoli gave
Adcock a double and scratch
ed one of the runs.
Giles said only the run
necessary to win the game
will be counted. 'He said Ad
cock would be officially
credited with a double be
cause he had failed to touch
all the bases.

Relief (DhucEters
Come Through for
Braves, White Sox
By FRED DOWN
, United Pztss International
Speaking of "perfect pitch
ers," how about Don McMa
hon of the Milwaukee Braves
and Gerry Staley of the Chi
cago White Sox?
Neither has started a game
this season, much less pitched
12 perfect innings, but man
ager Fred Haney of the Braves
will take fireballer McMahon
and manager Al Lopez of the
White Sox will take knuckle
bailer Staley when a spotless
relief job is required to wrap
up a victory.
The ace "lock-up hurlers"
did it again Wednesday when
the Braves beat the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 4-3, to retain their
three -game National league
lead and the White Sox down
ed the Cleveland Indians, 5-1,
toi;move within one game of
the top rung in the American
league.
McMahon. who has a per
fect 1-0, 1.000 slate to show
for 12 relief appearances,
needed only three pitches-all
strikes-to put down a ninth
inning Pittsburgh rally and
preserve Warren Spahn's
252nd major league win. The
Pirates, suddenly coming to
life after 26 consecutive score
less innings against Milwau
kee pitching, had rallied for
three runs and had the tying
run on second base" when Mc
Mahon took over and bombed
three strikes past Dick Scho
field to end the game. . t
Saves Wynn's 256th Win
. Staley, who has only a 1-1
won-lost record but an amaz
ing 0.58 earned run average
in 18 relief appearances, sav
ed the 356th victory of Early
Wynn's career by halting a
ninth-inning Cleveland rally.
Staley replaced Wynn with
runners on second and third
and one out and retired Min
nie Minoso and Rocky Cola
vito without permitting a run
to score.
The San Francisco Clants
blitzed the St. Louis Cardinals,
5-4, the Cincinnati Reds rout
ed the Philadelphia Phillies,
10-4, and the Los Angeles
Dodgers defeated the Chicago
Cubs, 4-1, in the other Nation
al league games. The New
York Yankees shaded the Bos
ton Red Sox, 3-2, and the
Washington Senators beat the
Baltimore Orioles, 6-0, in oth
er AL action.
Ed Mathews hit his 15th
homer and Johnny Logan
drove in two runs to lead the
Braves to their fourth victory
in five meetings with the
Pirates. Vern Law-like Har
vey Haddix on Tuesday night
-saw his punchless mates
waste repeated scoring oppor
tunities. Earl Torgeson and Sherman
Lollar homered to pace an
eight-hit White Sox attack that
raised Wynn's season record
to' 7-3.
Giants Hit Three
Willie Mays, Orlando Ce
peda, and Andre Rodgers hit
homers as Johnny Antonelli
won his sixth game for San
Francisco. Stan Musial hom-ered-his
first in two seasons
on the West Coast.
Bob Purkey squared his sea
son record at 5-5 as Frank
Robinson clouted two homers
and Vada Pinson and Ed
Bailey hit one each for Cin
cinnati. Robin Roberts suffer
