Koufax Pitches Dodgers To 6-2 Win Over Phillies United Press International They always said it could n't be done-but Sandy Kouf ax can make rival batsmen look like worse hitters than he is. It's no mean trick, too, when you consider that the 23-year-old southpaw speed- baller thinks nothing of strik ing out 10 times in a row or going a full season with one or two hits. It's a joke, son, when he's hittin but it's not so funny when Sandy is pitching-and getting the ball anywhere near the plate. Kouf ax, a Brooklyn - born N.W.
