WulheOfim For Seventh Victory on CSow By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Gentlemen, we give you Hoyt Wilhelm - except that Paul Richards says he can't be had "even for a million dollars." ' Money isn't everything and right now .Wilhelm is to the pennant-m i n d e d Baltimore Orioles. No wonder! The 35 -year -old knuckle bailer has won seven straight without a loss. He has a spec tacular 1.12 earned run aver age, the capacity to pitch every third day t if necessary, and the confidence that no one can hit him when he's right. Wilhelm's latest effort was a 5-0 victory over the Yan kees Thursday night. The tri umph boosted Baltimore to within 1V4 games of first place in the American league and extended Wilhelm's streak against the Yanks to 21 13 consecutive scoreless innings. "There comes a time," said the elated Richards after the game "when a player is worth more money to a ball club than anyone can possibly pay for him, I wouldn't consider one million dollars for Wil helm." Beats Yanks Fourth Time Given a chance to start 'by Richards, the veteran Nation al league castoff has now beaten the Yankees four straight times. During that span, he has allowed the world champions a total of two runs while pitching a no hitter and a one-hitter against them. Ralph Terry, obtained from Kansas City earlier in. the week, faced. Wilhelm Thurs day night and hurled well al though charged with his fifth defeat. The Orioles nicked him for three 'runs on four hits during the first seven in nings, then picked up their final runs when Gene Wood- ling hit a two-run homer off reliever Bobby Shantz in the eighth. Kansas City cut Cleveland's league lead to half a game by beating the Indians, 7-2; Bos ton defeated Washington, 3-1, and the Detroit-Chicago game was postponed because of rain. . .. . In the National league, Bob Friend of Pittsburgh blanked Milwaukee, 3-0; San Francis co climbed to within two games of the first-place Braves by beating St. Louis, 5-4; Philadelphia nipped Cin cinriatie, 4-3, and Chicago licked Los Angeles, 7-5. Kunckleballer Beats Tribe Southpaw Bud Daley, an other knuckleballer who got a chance to start this year, pitched the A's to their win over the Indians. Daley scat tered 10 hits and drove in three runs as he posted his third victory. Bill Turtle col lected four of KC's 14 hits, in cluding a homer. Rocky Cola vito hit his 13th for Cleve land. Jim (Mudcat) Grant was the loser. Vic Wertz's two-run . homer in the eighth inning along with Frank Sullivan's two-hit pitching enabled theRed Sox to down the Senators. The only run Washington scored was unearned, but Sullivan had no kick coming because all three Boston runs off loser Pedro Ramos also resulted from errors. The worm finally turned for Friend, loser of his first seven games, as he posted his first victory of the season with a fine four-hit shutuot over the Braves. The Pirates scored all their runs off Joey Jay in the fifth inning. Danny Kravitz drove in two of the three runs in that frame with a looping single. Milwaukee didn't get a runner past sec ond against Friend until the ninth. , ' Win in Eighth . The Giants won their game from the Cards in the eighth inning when Leon Wagner tripled and Daryl Spencer produced the winning run with a sacrifice fly. Stu Mil ler, second of three San Fran cisco hurlers, recorded his third victory. St. Louis jump ed in front 4-1 but the Giants routed loser Lindy McDaniel and tied the score with a three-run rally in the fifth. Ray Semproch snuffed out a ninth-inning rally and pre served Jim Owens' third vic tory in the Phillies' triumph over the Reds. Wall Post's double scored Ed Bouchee with what proved to be the winning run in the top of the ninth. Frank Robinson clout ed his 10th homer for Cincin nati and Gus Bell his seventh. Joe Nuxhall was the losing pitcher. Walt Moryn's single with th bases loaded in the ninth broke a 5-5 tie and produced the winning runs for the Cubs in their game with the Dodg ers. Loser Art Fowler set the stage for Moryn's blow when he loaded the bases on three walks. Ernie Bank's 12th homer with two on in the seventh gave Chicago a 5-4 lead but Los Angeles tied the score in. IBeate Yanks AgaSn the bottom of the seventh when Jim Gilliam doubled to score Duke Snider. Dave Hill man struck out 11 men in 7 23 innings after relieving starter' Seth Morehead and was credited with his third triumph. Gil Hodges hit his sixth homer for the Dodgers.
