o
Clemente
As Pirates Assume
Lone National Lead
By FRED DOWN
United Press International
They shout "arriba, arriba"
when Roberto Clemente bats
at Forbes field and perhaps
no player better typifies the
"rise" of the Pittsburgh Pi
rates. Long regarded as a baseball
diamond in the rough since
the Pirates "stole" him in the
draft in 1954, the 25-year-old
native of Carolina, Puerto
Rico, has developed ovenight
Into one of the National
league's shining stars. He's
challenging San Francisco's
Willie Mays for the batting
lead today and some experts
think he'll be the Pirates'
first champion in 20 years.
Clemente went on a 4-for-5
tear, two doubles and two sin
gles, Thursday night when
the Pirates whipped the St.
Louis Cardinals 8-3, and took
half-game grip on first
place. He's hit in 14 of the
Pirates' last 15 games to raise
his average to .372 only four
points behind Mays' .376.
Becomes Power Hitter
Even more astonishing has
been Clemente's sudden de
velopment into a power hit
ter. He has never previously
hit more than seven homers
or driven in more than 60
runs in a full season but he's
already hit six homers and
knocked in 29 runs this year.
The Cincinnati Reds beat
the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-4,
for their 13th victory in 16
games and the Chicago Cubs
downed the Philadelphia
Phillies, 4-2, in other National
league games. The Kansas
City Athletics defeated the
Baltimore Orioles, 7-4, in the
only American league game.
The Pirates piled up a 5 0
lead in 2 23 innings against
bonus lefty Ray Sadecki,
making his big league debut,
and went on to stretch their
winning streak at home to
eight games. Rookie Joe Gib
bon needed help from Fred
Green in the eighth inning
but received credit for his
third win. Ha yielded eight
hits and struck out seven.
Two Hill Each
Bob Skinner, Don Hoak, H.
W. Smith and Gino Cimoll
contributed two hits each to
the Pirates' attack, helping to

set the stage for tonight's
opener of a three-game series
with the Giants. The red-hot
Pirates have won eight of
their last nine games while
the Giants have lost three of
their last five.
Vada Pinson tripled home
Eddie Kasko with two out in
the ninth inning as the Reds
swept a two-game series with
the Dodgers and moved past
idle Milwaukee into third
place. Pinson's decisive blow
off Sandy K o u t a x, who
fanned 10 but lost his fourth
straight game, came after a
bunt single and theft of sec
ond base by Elio Chacon and
Kasko's single tied the score.
Jim Brosnan, last of three
Cincinnati pitchers, picked up
his first victory of the season.

Coach Bill Bowerman's
Ducks are favored to win by
about 10 points with Oregon
State favored to hold the
same margin over Washington
State in the battle for the
second spot.
Several outstanding indi
vidual duels should highlight
the action as seven defending
champions try to repeat and
and about eight Olympic
Games hopefuls continue to
move toward the trials later
in the season.
At least half of the defend
ing champions will be hard
pressed to repeat with only
OSC's Darrell Horn in the
broad jump and Oregon's
Dick Miller in the two-mile
rating as favorites this year.
WSU's Spike Arlt has Duck
Dave Edstrom to beat in both
hurdles, Roscoe Cook of Ore

must beat OSC's Amos Marsh
in the sprints and WSU's Dick
Rubenser has been troubled
by a sore arm in the javelin
and the title Is expected to
go to Oregon State's Gary
Stenlund.
The leading Olympic Games
hopefuls include Oregon's
Dyrol Burleson in the mile
and 880, Miller in the longer
races, Arlt in the low hurdles
(400 meters) Stenlund and
Horn, Edstrom in the decath
lon and sprinters Marsh and
Cook.
A number of records could
be wiped off the books Sat

Grim Goes
To Red legs
Cleveland, Ohio-IDPII-Right-hander
Bob Grim, one-time
top Yankee pitching prospect,
was sold by the Cleveland In

The Indians obtained Grim,

1'3 innings and was charged
with one loss.
The Reds, seeking more re
lief pitching, made room for
Grim by selling Raul San
chez outright to Havana of
the International League. San
chez won a victory in his only
decision this season.
