    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.

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."

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.
The league leading Giants,
who banged 15 hits off Spahn
Thursday night in beating the
Milwaukee Braves, 5-3, clash
with the Phils in a twi-night
doubleheader tonight.
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.
