San Francisco On Top Again
In National; Dodgers Hold
2nd After Nudging Braves
STANDINGS
By FRED DOWN
United Press International
Elroy Face is still flyin'
high-and Willie Mays, is fly-
in low again.
Take those facts and toss
in a brilliant 11-inning relief
performance by Los Angeles'
Roger Craig and you have the
big reasons teams in the Na
tional league first division
feel like college kids in
telephone booth.
San Jfrancisco is the new
"top dog" with a 47-35 rec
ord followed by Los Angeles
a half game "down," Milwau
kee third one full game be
hind and Pittsburgh fourth
only . 3V2 games from the
The latest shuffle occurred
Thursday when the Giants
spoiled Fred Hutchinson's de
but with a 3-2 victory over
the Cincinnati Reds and the
Dodgers knocked the Braves
from first to third place with
a 4-3 win in 13 innings. The
Pirates, coming from behind
for the 27th time this season,
edged out the Chicago Cubs,
4-3, in 10 innings.
The Chicago White Sox
moved to within a game of
first place in the American
league when they defeated
the front-running Cleveland
Indians. 4-3, and the Boston
Red Sox walloped the- New
York Yankees, 14-3, to drop
the world champions back
into fourth place.
Three Twi-Nighters
There also were three twi
night doubleheaders-St. Louis
downed Philadelphia, 6-2, af
ter an 1-0 defeat in the Na
tional league and Baltimore
beating Washington, 8-0 and
5-0, and Kansas City debat
ing Detroit, 5-0 and 4-0, in
the American league.
Face, Pittsburgh's sensa
tional relief ace, tied a 49-year-old
club record when he
received credit for his . 13th
straight victory of the sea
son. The 155-pound right
hander, near goat of Tues
day's All-Star game, yielded
a score-tying single to Sam
Taylor in the Cub's ninth but
became the winner when
pinch-hitter Harry Bright sin
gled home the decisive run
in the 10th.
Face's 13 -game winning
streak is six short of the NL
and major league mark set by
Rube Marquard in 1912 ,and
his two-year string of 18
straight victories also is six
shy of the mark set by Carl
Hubbell in 1936-37. '
Mays, hero of the All-Star
game, opened the ninth in
ning of a 2-2 tie game with a
single and then took off like
a guy on a motorcycle. San
Francisco's "golden boy"
promptly stole second on re
lief pitcher Tom Acker of the
Reds and then scored on
Daryl Spencer's infield hit.
Dodgers Tag Spahn
Wally Moon doubled and
Rip Repulski singled to give
the Dodgers the run that
tagged Milwaukee's Warren
Spahn with his ninth loss and
dumped the Braves into third
placet Roger Craig, taking
over in the third inning, shut
out the Braves on three, hits
for the last 11 innings.
' Jim Landis drove in three
runs ' with a two-run single
and a sacrifice fly and Bubba
White Sox who beat the In
dians for the ninth time in 13
meetings.
Bobby Avila knocked in
four runs with two homers
and a single and Ted Wil
liams drove in three with a
homer and a double to lead
a 14-hit Boston attack that
totaled 30 bases.
Gene ' Conley pitched' a
seven-hitter for his third shut
out and Gene Freese hit his
third grand slam of the season
to lead the Phillies' 17-hit at
tack in their first game but
the Cardinals earned a split
on the seven-hit hurling of
Larry Jackson. .
Milt Pappas pitched a sev
en-hitter and Jerry Walker
four-hitter as the 20-year-old
righthanders gave the Orioles
a sweep of the Senators and
undisputed possession of third
place in the American league
Ray Herbert and Johnny
Kucks each pitched a five-hit
ter for the Athletics, who also
were aided by a homer in
each game by Bob Cerv.- Her
bert struck out 10 and walked
two. ,

Major Leagues
To Starr Week
Apart in 1960
By ED SAINSBURY
Chicago (UPD Major
league executives met in joint
session Jtoday to . tackle such
problems as inter-1 e a g u e
trading and financial help to
the struggling minor leagues
Both matters came under
heavy discussion " in separate
American and National
League meetings Thursday,
but it remained for a vote of
representatives of the 16 clubs
to approve or reject the pro
posals.
A vote to approve inter
league trading would permit
clubs to cross league barriers
in player swaps beginning in
a post-season Nov. 23-Dec. 15
period this year. It would eli
minate the necesisty of ob
taining waivers.
Further Study Likely
Raising and disbursing fi
nancial funds to rescue the
minors was a weightier prob
lem facing the club owners
This was likely to be handed
over to a committee for furth
er study rather than receive
outright approval or rejec
tion.
ine club owners tuned up
for today's session by voting
Thuresday to start their 1960
seasons onen week apart and
then agreeing to observe the
same suspended game rule in
both leagues. .
Both leagues opened a week
earlier this year, but Ameri
can league club owners call
ed the experiment quits and
agreed to return to an April
19 opening next season.
The far-f lung National
league voted to stick with an
April i. 12 inaugural. Both
leagues, however, will close
simultaneously on Oct. 2.
INDIANS BUY .'RIVERBOAT'
Cleveland -' (UPD The
Cleveland Indians have pur
chased the contract 'of pitcher
Robert "Riverboat" Smith to
fill the vacancy left open by
the sale of reliever Dick
Brodowski to Toronto Wed
nesday. Smith had a 4-2 rec
ord with San Diego of the Pa-
cific Coast league. ,j

giants Figuring
Means To Stay
Ahead in Race
Cincinnati, Ohio -ffiPD- The
Giants are back in the Nation
al , league penthouse - now
all they have to do is figure
a way to keep from being
evicted.
The upstart Sah Franciscans
have crashed into the rarified
air of the senior loop's top
spot several times since mov
ing west, but they've never
been able to maintain ten
ancy. The Milwaukee Braves, who
have had a two year lease on
the top, had their bid for an
extension dampened Thursday
night when a joint California
effort sent them tumbling to
third.
The Giants measured Cin
cinnati 3-2 while Los Angeles
dropped the proud Braves, 4-3
in 13 innings.
Thursday night's Giant vic
tory had more than one pleas
ant aspect. Not among the
least was the fact they es
caped being defeated by big
Don Newcombe, always a Gi
ant nemesis, iNewcombe re
tired after eight innings for
a pinch hitter with the score
tied at 2-2.
STRETCHING OUT HANDS in congratulation, team
mates of Eddie Mathews, Braves, hail him as he walks to
dugout after first inning homer off Early Wynn, White
Sox, in annual All-Star game at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh.
