Metro Uses Seven Hurlers In Mountie Win Over Seattle By DON BECKER United Pross International Vancouver's Charley Metro is a man bent on winning the Pacific Coast League pennant and he's not above cleaning his bench of pitchers in an effort, to squeeze out a close one. Metro called on six mounds men in a relatively low scor ing game Thursday night as the Mounties cooled off the red-hot Seattle Rainiers, 6-5. The quick shuffle from the bull pen to the mound is nothing new for Metro. He's been known to pull a pitcher for perspiring too much. Mounlies Close Gap The Mounties' win Thurs day night moved them a game behind league leading Port land and a half a game behind second place Salt Lake. Other action saw the Bees split a pair of 5-0 games with Sacramento Thursday night. San Diego clobbered hapless Phoenix, 9-0, in the only other game. Portland was rained out in its game at Spokane. Dick Luebke, the fourth Mountie pitcher who toiled for one-third of an inning, got credit for the victory. Vancouver jumped off to a 4-0 lead in the first inning with a bases loaded triple by Ray Barker the big blow. Se attle battled back and in the seventh they went ahead de spite some big mound strategy by Metro. But Vancouver wrapped it up in the seventh on singles by Ron Hansen and Jim Fini gan along with a triple by Wayne Causey. Briggs Wins lllh San Diego's John Briggs won his 11th game with a three-hitter as the Padres backed him with a 10-hit bar rage including a four-run first inning. It was the 14th loss in a row by the Giants. Sacrament o's Winston Brown stopped Salt Lake on six hits in the nine-inning sec ond game of their double header. Four of the hits off Brown were by Jim Baumer. In the first game, Ernie Francis and Jim Umbricht combined to limit the Solons to three hits. Francis, the starter and winner, had to re tire after four and two-thirds innings. He was hit on the pitching arm by a line drive.

Lineup Switch Cause of Beef At Milwaukee Milwaukee-dTD-They need ed a clubhouse lawyer for awhile in the first inning of the Milwaukee-San Francisco game Thursday night, but the case will never get to court because both sides dropped their suit. Manager Bill Rigney of the Giants filed a protest when Frank Torre batted while his lineup showed Joe Adcock as the Milwaukee first baseman. Manager Fred Haney count ered with a protest of his own. The issue was dropped by Rigney as soon as the Giants won the game, 5-3, and Haney admitted he only protested in order to be 'on the record with something. But for awhile there were all four umpires and both managers in a big huddle on the infield, with the coaches offering advice from the dugout. Changed His Own Only What actually happened was that Heney wrote Adcock on Higney's copy of the line up and on that of Chief Um pire Al Barlick. He later changed his own to Torre, but neglected to change the other two. Barlick missed a cue when he failed to notice the lineups didn't jibe, which, according to the rules, is his responsi bility. Haney technically opened himself to a $25 fine for failing to announce a sub stitute. Rigney said later he wished he had played it shrewder. Since Adcock was officially in the game and then replaced by Torre he was ineligible to enter again. "What I should have done is waited for Adcock to pinch hit, and if he hits a home run, I could have had him disquali fied," said Rigney. Akron, Ohio -(UPD- Victory starved Ted Kroll, seeking his first win in three years, shared the lead with Arnold Palmer and Bob Goalby today as par busting - happy pros teed off in the second round of the $22,000 Rubber City Open. SPORTS Bill Rigney Grins Over Big Victory By RAY W. DOHERTY Milwaukee (UPD "They said we couldn't win the big ones." That was manager Bill Rig ney's excited reaction to the 5-3 victory his first place San Francisco Giants scored over the defending National League champion Braves Thursday night. It left the Giants four games in front of the third place Braves, who wound up a critical five game set with the Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers on the debit side, two. wins and three losses. Their position was a half game worse than they were when they came home Mon day night. Big Lift "And we did it with a pitcher who isn't supposed to win the big ones," said Rig ney.. That would be right hander -Sad Sam Jones, who humbled Milwaukee for the fifth time this year. "We won the game we had to win. This gives us a big lift," said Rigney. The Giants lost the opener of the two game series. 'They're All Big Now' Braves manager Fred Haney, who could have pull ed within two strides with a victory, agreed it was a big game, but "Then they're all big from now on. What if we had won tonight and lost Fri day night to the Cubs?" It's too early to panic is what he was trying to say. "I remember a club that was 13 games out of the lead at this point, referring to the Giants' miracle pennant drive in 1951 when they were in New York."

Free Pickup & Delivery O Open 24 Hours Willie McCovey Heads Giants In 5-3 Triumph Over Braves By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Some of those 90-day "won ders" in the Army were lu lus, but even they couldn't keep up with Willie McCovey, who is leading the Giants to a pennant and bidding for the rookie of the year award with in a brief span of 21 days. Since reporting to -the Giants only three weeks ago, the amazing 21-year-old Mc Covey has fashioned a fabu lous .418 batting average. Hardly a day goes by that he doesn't win a ball game for the Giants. Or a night, for that matter, too. McCovey was doing busi ness at the same old stand Thursday night when he drove in three runs with three hits, including a two-run hom er, that beat the Braves, 5-3, arid preserved the Giants' two game lead in the National league race. There was some talk they might "catch up" with Willie the "second time around." Well, the Braves were seeing him for the second time and they had no more luck with him than they did the first time. Willie Mays also chipped in with three hits to help Sam Jones notch his 16th victory over Warren Spahn, who suf fered his 13th loss. Dodgers Defeat Reds The second-place Dodgers defeated the Reds, 8-5; the Pirates beat the- Cardinals, 3-1, and the Cubs took the nightcap of a twi-night two bill, 6-4, after the Phillies won the opener, 8-5. Ed Bailey's passed ball on a two-out third strike to Pitch er Danny McDevitt paved the way for a seven-run fifth in ning that gave the Dodgers their victory over the Reds. After McDevitt reached first, Jim Gilliam singled, Phils Next of SF Philadelphia (UPD If the San Francisco Giants can handle the over-worked Phila delphia Phillies the same way they dealt with a weary War ren Spahn, they ought to be on easy street in the National League pennant race.

Five In Three They will be playing the last place Phils five games in the next three days with the other doubleheader on Sun day. The Phils labored through a twin-bill Thursday night and they will be play ing seven games in four days. That's enough to make even a good pitching staff look feeble. Johnny Antonelli (16-7) and Mike McCormick (10-10) will take the mound for the Giants tonight. The Phils are expect ed to use Robin Roberts (11 12) and Ray Semproach (3-9) against the'Giant lefthanders. 49th Victory Knoxville", Tenn. - (UPI) Seventh ranked heavyweight Willie Pastrano scored his 49th victory on a technical knockout Thursday night by battering Tom (Kelley) Davis out of commission in three rounds.
