MAIL TRIBUNE, M.ifori, Or. Monday, Aug. 31, 19S9 SF Has Eye On Big Tilt Against LA Br ALEX KAHN Los Angeles (DPD The San Francisco Giants, their league lead cut to two games, tried to forget Sunday's debacle against the Los Angeles Dodg ers and instead concentrated on the third big game of the series tonight. Los Angeles capitalized two Giant errors in the bottom of the ninth to push over two unearned runs and gain a 7-6 victory. The Giants won the Friday series opener, 5-0. Although rookie first base man Willie McCovey commit ted two of the three San Fran cisco bobbles in the Sunday game, manager Bill Rigney refused to blame him for the loss. Might Rest McCovey At the same time, he indi cated McCovey might be giv en a rest tonight with Orlan do Cepeda taking over his regular spot at first. Rigney said that with south paw Sandy Koufax, 7-4, pitch ing for the Dodgers, he want ed as many righthanded bat ters as possible and that might be his reason for bench ing McCovey, not his fielding bobbles. The Giants announced they would pitch Jack Sanford, 12-10, and were hopeful the righthander could go the route because they used five pitchers Sunday in a futile attempt to pull the game from the fire. Tonight's game is for -the benefit of the Kiwanis Crip pled Children's fun and crowd of better than 60,000 was expected. Beavers Split Twinbill But Seattle Takes Series United Press International The Portland Beavers got a welcome day off today be fore heading north to open a series against the second-place Vancouver Mounties. The Beavers split a twin bill with Seattle Sunday, win ning 5-4 as Marty Ktityna won his 14th game and losing 5-2 in the seven-inning nightcap. Seattle won the series 4-1. Portland now has lost 10 of its last 12 games. Ken Johnson was called on in the eight inning to help Kutyna get his win the first game. Lefty Vic Lombard! was the Beaver loser in the second. In other Sunday games Salt Lake lost twice to San Diego, 7-6 and 6-2; Spokane split with Vancouver, winning 6-2 and losing 8-3, and Sacramen to edged Phoenix 4-1. Pinch Single Wins It Pinch -hitter Don Dollard singled home Mitch June in the ninth inning to give the Padres their opening game win after Salt Lake had tied the score with three runs in the top of that inning. John Briggs pitching in relief, was credited with his 13th win against four losses. Russ Heman and Pete Wo jey combined to limit the Bes to just two hits in the seven inning second game. The Pads won it with a four run fourth inning outburst. Norm Sherry and Tommy Davis homered to pace Spo kane to its opening win over Vancouver, 6-2, with George O'Donnell going the route on the mound for the win.

Carl Greene scattered six hits while pitching Sacramen to past the Phoenix Giants. Edtstrom. Triumphs Br LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Chicago - (CPS - The third Pan American Games, which the United States considered a warmup for the 1960 Olym pics in Rome, was turning out to be such a romp today that even the U.S. coaches ad mitted they were not proving much of a testing ground. The sister Western Hemis phere nations were not fur nishing much opposition. None of the coaches would be quoted. But they all point ed to the results of the first three days of competition. It showed that of the first 21 championships decided, the U.S. won 18 and was ex pected to add a minimum of six of the nine on today's gchedule. The other three Chisox CMd SV2 Game Edge; EDodgers mack (Giants lead By MILTON RICHMAN .., United Press International Those go-go White Sox can go ahead and print their World Series tickets but they'd better leave a blank space for the name of their opponents because it could easily be the supposedly long gone Pirates. The inspired White Sox really did a job on the Indians in all but wrapping up their first American League pen nant since 1919. Al Lopez' speedy crew took a doubleheader from the Tribe Sunday, 6-3 and 9-4, before 66,586 at Cleveland to sweep a four - game "show down series" and lengthen their lead to 5Vfe games - longest of the season. The White Sox never had it so good. If they win only 13 of their remaining 25 games, the second-place In dians still would have to win 19 of their last 24 to overtake them. The Pirates aren't in such good shape, of course, but they aren't exactly complaining. They made it nine out of their last 10 by sweeping a twin bill from the Phillies, 2-1 and 7-6 in 10 innings, with little Roy Face fashioning his 17th victory of the season without a defeat in the nightcap. Pirates Climb By taking two from the Phils, the Pirates climbed to within four games of the first place Giants who dropped a 7-6 decision to the Dodgers. The Cubs beat the Braves, 6-2, and the Reds defeated the Cardinals, 6-4. Among the "also rans" in the AL, the Tigers took over third place with a 4-0 victory Sal Taormina got three of the Giants' hits, including a pair of doubles. Jack Dittmer homered for the Sacs. It was Greene's 13 th win against 12 losses. LINESCORES: (1st Game) Portland 000 021 2005 13 1 Seattle 01C 000 102 4 9 4 Kutyna. Johnson 8 and Neal; Ru dolph, Martin 7, Rabe 8 and Jenkins.

Gene Littler Miller Winner Milwaukee (UPD Gene Lit tler, of Singing Hills, Calif., had his "furniture money" to day after winning the $5,300 first prize in the $35,000 Mil ler Open golf tournament. ' Littler, a five-year profes sional veteran at the age of 29, came through with a clutch birdie on the 18th hole Sunday to break a tie with PGA c".ampion Bob Rosburg, Palo Alto, Calif. He came home with a 15 under par to tal of 265 for 72 holes. Second place wound up in a three-way tie between Ros burg, Bo Wininger, Odessa, Tex., and Ted Kroll, Sarasota, Fla.-all at 266. Mflinger Score Dn Pan American were wide open. But the U.S. entries were no worse than co favorites. Sunday, led by Dave Ed strom, a 21-year-old senior at the University of Oregon who won the decathlon champion ship, the U.S. swept all eight gold medals which were de cided. In winning four of them, the United States set Pan American records. Sets Record Edstrom, in winning the gruelling two-day decathlon, set one of them, scoring 7,254 points as he won or tied for first in eight of the ten events which comprise the title. The others were made by Bill Dellinger, Oxnard,:alif., who won the 5,000-meter run over the Athletics; the Sena tors topped the Yankees, 3-1, and the Red Sox blanked the Orioles, 3-0. The White Sox won their opener from the Indians with a five-run sixth-inning rally that Early Wynn launched with a home run. Wynn, who needed Gerry Staley's help in the eighth, won his 17th of the season and 266th of his career, tying him with Bob Feller and Eppa Rixey for total major league victories. Barry Latman won his eighth game in the nightcap although he gave way to Turk Lown in the sixth. Before de parting, Latman yielded Cola vito's 39th homer with two on and Woodie Held's 26th homer with the bases empty. Face Gets Lucky Face, who now has won 22 straight over two seasons, got away a bit lucky in Pitts burgh's second game win over Philadelphia. Ed Bouchee homered off Face in the top of the 10th to put the Phils ahead, 6-5, but Dick Stuart doubled home two runs off Dick Farrell in the bottom of the 10th. Stuart also hit a pinch homer, his 21st, in the ninth. Bob Skinner's fourth hit of the game, a two-out single in the ninth, won the opener for the Pirates. Lefty Harvey Haddix gave up only six hits, including Gene Freese's 19th homer, in notching his 11th triumph. An error by third baseman Jackie Brandt paved the way for two unearned runs in the ninth that gave the Dodgers their victory over the Giants. Wally Moon followed with a triple to tie the score at 6-6 and after Sam Jones relieved loser Mike McCormick, the Dodgers filled the bases on two walks. Willie McCovey then let in the winning run when he fumbled Norm Lark er's grounder. The Cubs won their game from the Braves with a five run rally in the eighth at the expense of loser Carlton Wil- ley. Key blows in the rally were Jim Marshall's double which tied the score at 2-2 and Irv Noren's two - run single. Kasko Aids Reds Ex-Cardinal Eddie Kasko drove in three runs to help Cincinnati snap a four-game St. Louis winning streak. Jay Hook hurled a seven-hitter for his fourth win, Over in the American league, Don Mossi of Detroit posted his 12th victory when he held Kansas City to three hits and also belted his first major league homer, Russ Kemmerer and Tex Clevenger combined in a five- hit, pitching effort that led Washington to victory over League Leaders United Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE Player & Club G AB R H Pet.
