(DPD - Sam (Toothpick) Jones enabled the San Francisco Giants to hold on to their pennant chances by a splinter Saturday night when he pitched a seven-inning no-hitter to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-0, in a game curtailed by rain. The game was scheduled as the opener of a twi-night dou bleheader, but since a steady rain forced a halt after seven innings and caused postpone ment of the nightcap, a dou bleheader between the clubs will' be played today. The victory, first game of a scheduled twi-night double header, made necessary be cause of Friday's rained-out game, placed the Giants lVz games behind leader Los An geles and Milwaukee in the National league pennant race. The second straight rainout for the Giants will force a doubleheader with the Cards today on the last day of the season. . Jones, using change-ups and sidearm curves more than his vaunted fast ball, allowed on ly two Cardinals to reach base. One got as far- as second. . Jones walked Joe Cunning ham in the first inning, then retired 12 batters in a row be fore issuing a walk to Alex Grammas to start the sixth. , After' Ernie Broglio, who had relieved Cardinal starter Elmer Mitzell in the seventh, struck out, Don Blasingame sacrificed Grammas to second ! where he died when Cunning-1 ham grounded out. ! This was the first no-hitter hurled against the Cardinal team since 1919 when Hod Ell er of Cincinnati held the St. Louis National league club hit less for a regulation nine-inning game. ' Bobo Holloman of the old St. Louis Browns hurled the last no-hitter at Busch stadium (then Sportsman's park) in 1953. The Giants had another shortened no-hit effort this season when Mike McCormick stopped the Philadelphia Phil lies over five innings. It was the second no-hitter for Jones, who zeroed the Pittsburgh Pirates May 12, 1955 while he was with the Chicago Cubs. He narrowly missed a no-hitter earlier in the season when the official scorer called a disputed grounder a hit instead of an error. San Francisco jumped on Mizell for a run in the first inning when Willie Mays wal loped a 3-1 pitch into tht left field bleachers for his 34th home run of the season. .

SP 2-7171 Why we built two cars for I960 . . . as different as night and day! x On October 2 for the first time in Chevrolet's 49-year history you will be able to walk into your dealer's showroom arid see two totally different kinds of cars. u One is" the conventional 1 960 Chevrolet, brand new in appearance and more beautifully refined and luxurious than you can imagine. n The other is unlike any car we or anybody else ever built the revolutionary Corvair, with the engine in the rear where it belongs in a compact car. We'd like to tell you why we built (wo such different cars, how we built them and for whom we built them. Why two kinds of cars? Because America itself has been going through some big changes in the past few years. Our cities have been straining at their seams. ' Traffic is jam-packed. Parking space is at a premium. And our suburbs have spread like wildfire. People are living farther from their work, driving more miles on crowded streets. There is new leisure time but more things to do. There's a new standard of living and more need for two cars in the family garage. In short, America's automobile needs have become so complex that no one kind of car can satisfy them completely. That is why we at Chevrolet, keeping tab on these trends, have had a revolutionary compact car in the planning stages for more than nine years undergoing revisions and refinements. Consequently, when we decided three years ago to prepare for production of such a car we were ready to build it the way it should be built. There was no need for a hasty "crash" program that would create only a sawed-off version of a conventional-sized car. v That is why the two cars you will see in your dealer's showroom October 2 will be two entirely different kinds of cars each one built the way it should be built, to best fill the needs it was meant to fill. One is the conventional '60 Chevrolet brand new in beauty, with new space inside, new spirit under the hood, a new feeling of sumptuousness and luxury never before attained by any car in its field. There is great Y& power, linked with new thrift, plus Chevrolet's superb (and America's most popular) 6-cylinder engine. It if a traditional ear that comes even closer to per fection in silence, in roomin ease of control, in velvety ride than any car we have ever made. The other is the Corvair, a compact car that Is astonishingly different from anything ever built in this country. It has to be because this is a six-passenger compact car, with a. really remarkable performance ... a car designed specifically to American standards of comfort, to American traffic needs. The engine is in the rear. Among the basic advantages resulting from this engine location are better traction on a compact 108-inch wheel base 'and a practically flat floor. But to be placed in the rear, the engine had to be ultra light and ultra short. So Corvair's engine is totally new mostly aluminum and air cooled; it weighs about 40 per cent less than conventional engines. It is a "flat" horizontally opposed six so it is only three cylinders long . . . and that leaves a lot more room for passengers. Another weight saving: like modern airplanes, the Corvair has no frame; the body-shell supplies its great structural strength . . . it's a welded unit that is virtually squeak- and rattle-free. The ride is fantastic. But to get it we had to design independent suspension at every wheel; conventional springing would give a compact car a choppy ride. Right now we'll make one pre diction: the Corvair will be the only American compact car with this type of suspension system the only one that rides so comfortably, holds the road so firmly and handles so beautifully. . Now there are two kinds of cars from Chevrolet because it takes two kinds of cars to serve America's needs today. If you love luxury the utmost in luxury and if you want generous interior space, breath-taking performance, auto matic drives and power assists then the con ventional '60 Chevrolet may be your choice. If easy parking, traffic agility and utmost economy are high on your list then you should seriously consider the Corvair. But the best thing to do is to look these two new cars over at your Chevrolet dealer! . . . take them out for a drive. It may be that the only logical choice for your family between two cars like this is both. They make a perfect pair. . .. , . ;; CHEVY MOUNTS THE ENGINE TO MATCH THE CAR Tht front-mounted engine provides most efficient . weight distribution in a conventional-sized Chevrolet, splitting the load almost evenly between front and rear wheels. Since a 4-door Chevy sedan weighs 3,550 lbs this design puts ade quate weight in the rear for sure-footed traction and road-grip -while giving a solid, consistently balanced big-car ride. A rear-mounted engine gives the best weight dit tribution for a lighter, com pact car like the 2,340-lb. Corvair. This design puts some 60 of the weight on the rear wheels for extra traction in cornering and driving on ice, mud or snow. Corvair, by avoiding nose heaviness of front-engine compact cars, also gives yoo better riding, handling and braking characteristics. See all the new Chevrolets October 2 at your local authorized Chevrolet dealer's OHHKNJLET 9th at BARTLETT MEDFORD SP 2-6115.
