GUcDsvit Pitches Eighth Victory As lodgers Approach Top Place Br MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Altra-cautious Walt Alston simply refuses to talk about a possible pennant but a lot of his Los Angeles Dodgers are starting to think along those lines all because of Irish Danny McDevitt. The Dodgers have won eight of their last 10 games and now are only a half-game ' hehind the first-Dlace Mil waukee Braves. No pitcher on the club has made a greater contribution in the current climb than Mc Devitt. who has won five straight games and a total of eight for the season. Sent back down to the minors last year because he failed to win, McDevitt has all but wiped out that bad mem ory this season. He boosted the Dodgers to the thre-'iold of the National league- lead Thursday night when he blanked the St Louis Card inals, 4-0. McDevitt gave up 10 hits but was superb in the clutch giving up only one, walk and forcing the Cards to hit into four double plays. Back-to-back triples by Jun ior Gilliam and Charlie Neal in the third inning off loser Dick Ricketts provided Mc Devitt with the only run he needed. The Dodgers picked up two insurance runs in the seventh and another in the eighth. Fan Fights Umpire The game was enlivened in the seventh inning when a fan jumped out of the stands and battled Umpire Bill Jackow- ski after the arbiter had ejected St. Louis Manager Solly Hemus. Players on both sides rushed into the fray and broke ud the fight before much damage was done. In other NL games, Pitts burgh scored a 10-mning 4-3 triumph over Milwaukee; Chi cago swamped San Francisco, 10-4, and Cincinnati won the nightcap of a twi-night twin- bill from Philadelphia, 8-4, after the Phils took the open er, 7-6. Kansas City defeated Cleve land, 6-4, and the White Sox missed a chance to move into a tie for iirst place in the American league by dropping a 9-7 decision to the Tigers. The Orioles climbed back into the first division by defeat ing the Yankees, 3-1, and the Senators handed the Red Sox their fifth straight loss, 6-3, in 10 innings. Dick Groat's 10th inning single with the bases loaded off loser Don McMahon paced the Pirates to their victory over the Braves. Milwaukee made Pittsburgh's job easier by committing four errors, two of which came in the 10th. Vera Law went the dis tance for the Pirates, allow ing seven hits and winding up with his ninth victory against five defeats. Homers Beat Giants . Ernie Banks, Dale Long and Alvin Dark all hit homers for the Cubs against the Giants, who also remained a half-game behind the Braves. Banks' homer, his 22nd of the season, came with two men on base. Reliever Don Elston held the Giants hitless over the last 3 13 innings to pre serve Glen Hobbie's ninth vic tory. Rookie Eddie Fisher was the loser. A grand-slam homer by Gene Freese and Dick Far rell's fine relief pitching helped the Phils to their open ing game victory over , the Reds. Freeze connected off loser Jim Brosnan in a five run third inning and Farrell came in to snuff out a four run Cincinnati rally in the eighth. Don Cardwell, who struck out 12, was credited with his second victory., Don Newcombe registered his eighth straight triumph and ninth of the season with a six-hitter in the nightcap. Newcombe also contributed a homer as Ruben Gomez suf fered his sixth loss against only one victory. Four errors, two of them by loser Gary Bell, played a big part ui Kansas City's vic tory over Cleveland. Joe De Maestri hit a two-run homer to put the A's ahead 3-1 in the fourth. Bill Tuttle then drove in another run with a triple in the fifth and scored himself on Jim Baxes' error. Ray Herbert "gained his fifth victory. Woodie Held hom ered for Cleveland. Hits Grand Slam Charley Maxwell's grand slam homer off reliever Turk Lown in the eighth inning gave the Tigers their margin of victory over the second place White Sox. Maxwell's 18th homer put Detroit ahead, 9-2, and the Tigers needed that bulge when Al Smith hit a homer with the bases full for the White Sox in the ninth. Neil Chrisley of De troit also homered with one on. Don Mossi posted bis seventh victory and Bob Shaw was charged with his third setback. . i Rookie Jerry Walker of the Orioles struck out 10 Yankees and held them to six hits in winning his sixth game. The only run he allowed was Hec tor Lopez' thirteenth homer in the fifth inning. Bob Nie man hit his ninth homer with one on in the first inning to give Baltimore a lead it never lost. Don Larson, who had MedfordJTribumb GBDooper HomeKun Wms For Spokane United Press International Fred Hatfield tagged a 340- foot, blooper that struck the three-inch width of the top of the left field fence and bounced over for a home run that gave Spokane a 2-1 Pa cific Coast league win over Portland Thursday night. Hatfields freak hit came in the ninth inning and broke up a 1-1 ball game that saw Portland's only run come in the second inning on another home run over the same fence by Bob Di Pietro. Spokane s first tally was two innings later and scored with the helD of a sizzling rtriple by newcomer Frank Howard that ricocheted 150 feet in the air off the center- field fence. The blow by the former Texas League standout easily scored Chuck Essegian, who was on second base after he clobbered a Tom Gorman fast ball 411 feet off the same wall for a double.

Olmedo, seeded first and the odds-on 1 to 8 favorite, won the most coveted crown in tennis before a standing room center court crowd of more than 15,000.
