U.S. Athletes Favored
To Add Nine ore Medals
Chicago - (UPD - The United
States was piling up gold med
als at a record pace in the
Pan American Games today.
With 30 championships de
cided, U. S. athletes had won
26 of them and were favored
to win most of the nine on the
Koufax Pitches
Dodgers
To First
United Press International
It took Sandy Kouf ax a long
;time to develop but now that
Ihe has it may be just in time
ito put the Los Angeles Dodg
' ers in the World Series.
A 23-year-old left-hander
from Brooklyn who got a $25,'
000 bonus in-1955.and once
sprained an ankle when he
"tripped over a foul line,"
Koufax Monday night pitched
his way into the record book
and the Dodgers to within one
game of first place in the Na
tional league with a spectacu
lar 5-2 victory over the San
Francisco Giants.
A crowd of 82,794 at Los
Angeles, including 60,194
paid, saw the 210-pound south
paw strike out 18 batters to
equal the major league mark
set by Bob Feller Oct. 2, 1938,
and break the National league
record of 17 held by Dizzy
Dean since 1933. Since he
struck out 13 batters in his
previous start a week ago,
Koufax also set a major
league record of 31 strikeouts
in two consecutive games.
Defeat Loomed
Koufax great effort ap
peared doomed to end in de
feat - even as Feller's 18
strikeout effort did in 1938 -until
-the last of the ninth
when Wally Moon's three-run
homer off Al Worthington
gave the Dodgers their 11th
win in 19 meetings with the
Giants this season. The Dodg
ers had tied the score in the
eighth with the help of two
wild pitches by Jack Sanford.
v The supreme irony of Kou
fax victory from the Giants'
point of view was that he ac
tually led off the game-winning
rally with a single. From
the moment he joined the
Dodgers in '55, Koufax has
been recognized as. one of the
weakest hitters in the history
of the major leagues.
Jim Gilliam followed Kou
fax' inning - opening single
with another single and San
Francisco Manager Bill Rig
n e y immediately replaced
Sanford with Worthington.
Moon, the first batter Worth
ington faced, then connected
for the game-winning blast
The Giants scored their
first run off Koufax in the
first inning on doubles by
Willie Mays and Orlando Ce
peda and their second in the
fifth on Willie McCovey's
eighth hemer of the season.
Yields Seren Hits
Koufaxrwho has struck out
150 batters in 127 innings
while fashioning an 8-4 rec
ord, struck out the side in
order in the sixth and ninth
innings and also sandwiched
three strikeouts around Mc
Covey's homer in the fifth. He
yielded seven hits and walked
two batters.
"I had two good pitches
working for me tonight," Kou
fax said. "A fast ball and a
curve. It was my best game
and my luckiest.
The victory was the fourth

believed today that the bay
colt has a "good chance" to
make his backers look good
in the 34th Hambletonian

. But Frank Ervin, 55, of
Pompano Beach, Fla., refused
to go along with a straight

Ervin piloted Diller to a
victory last week at Sedalia,

Diller, owned by Hall Sta

of his nine wins in 12 outings

With time running out, the

Tri-City " took the leaders
14-11 in 12 innings after the

Mac Schmidt doubled in
two runs in the Tri-City 12th

Braves the Victory.
Wenatchee got a two-run
homer from Charlie Quick in
the ninth and a three-run dou

count for five of its six runs.
However, the Chiefs did not
lose any ground as Salem
rapped second-place Lewiston

neat four-hitter and Salem
collected 16 hits for the easy
decision.
Hank Bivens paced the win
ners with four hits in five
trips.
Ed Banach of Yakima turn

topped Eugene 4-2. He fanned

Jurisdiction
Toronto -(UPD- The National
Boxing association intends to
tighten up the ring ropes un
der its jurisdiction according
to Commissioner Abe J,
Greene of Paterson, N.J.
Greene announced a multi
fold program during a speech
at the NBA's 40th annual con
vention which opened Mon
day. Greene and the NBA intend
to control each fight division
to the point where it is im
possible to freeze a title. He
said this was to prevent a
repetition of the Sugar Ray
Robinson middleweight fias
co, whereby Robinson is only
recognized as champion in
Massachusetts and New York
state.
He also expressed concern
over the invasion of gangsters
into the promotional end of
boxing.
"Investigations now under
way in New York and Califor
nia have left us most per
turbed," he said.
"In California, it's already
been proven by a federal
grand jury that this has led
to cutting boxers up into
pieces."

Australian Now Favored
For National Singles Title
Forest Hills, N.Y.-OJPD-Neale
Fraser of Australia, who won
the Davis Cup for his country
with an easy conquest of big
Barry McKay, emerged today
as the favorite for the Nation
al Singles tennis champion
ships which start Friday.
Fraser needed only two sets
Monday to take the cup back
to Australia, adding them to
the set he had won Sunday
evening for an 8-6, 3-6, 6-2,
6-4, victory over MacKay. It
gave the Aussies the deciding
point in a 3-2 triumph over
the United States
"This will be known as
'Fraser's Davis Cup',? said
the non-playing Aussie cap
tain, Harry Hopman. "He won
both his singles and shared in
the doubles. You can't do any
better."
Fraser, at 25 a veteran of
seven years of international
tennis, slowed his service
somewhat from his Sunday
pace and gained in accuracy.
MacKay, a 6-3, 185-pounder,
relied as usual on his power
game and his big serve failed
him.

was broken twice in Monday's
first set, as he contributed

Chicago White Sox it is
"risa."

And which,' it becomes more
apparent each succeeding day,
the quiet man of Castilian par
ents is going to have on the
doubting American league this
season. .
Because not too long ago
they were predicting the axe
for the good senor even if he
was lucky enough to finish
second - once again.
Lopez, it was said, was on
his way out. And, they
shrugggi, what could any
man do with such a rag-tag
band of hitless, aging misfits?
Senor. Al's records as a
catcher are dimmed by a dec
ade of riding the managerial
bench as well as by his repu
tation as a perennial second
place finisher. Oh, he had the
catching records and still
does, having caught more
games than any other man, a
total of 1,918 in 18 years.
Finished Second Nine Times
But his 11 years as a man
ager, eight of them in the
majors, put his playing ca
reer in the shade. Because in
nine of those 11 years, Lopez

second nine times. There was

No Pep Talks
Yet the good senor current

don't have to finish last.
Lopez, whose parents emi
grated from Madrid to his na

players "like human beings

talks and no public dressings
down.
"I treat them as I always
wanted to be treated," he
shrugs. "Pep talks may be all
right in football, where you
have to get your team 'up' for
a few games. But over the
long baseball season it is bet

after all, they are adults and,
even when I think they make
