Newspaper Page TextGentile Drives in Seven Tallies To Propel Baltimore Into Lead . By MILTON RICHMAN Rookie Jim Gentile is the American league's new bat ting leader and that makes it tough for Tokyo but bully for first-place Baltimore. Gentile, purchased condi tionally from St. Paul for $20,000 during the off season, was all set to go to Japan and play if he failed to make good with the Orioles. He looked futile with Balti more this spring and began to think more and more about his trip to the Far East. "I wasn't fooling," says the slugging, 26 - year old first baseman. "Rather than go back to the minors, I would have gone to Japan." Paul Richards stuck with Gentile, however, and the Orioles paid St. Paul the money for him only a few weeks ago. The transaction could easily develop into the baseball steal of the year. Hits Two Homers Gentile slammed his ninth and 10th homers of the season against Kansas City Sunday -one with two on in the sixth inning and another with the bases full in the seventh - to drive in seven runs in a 9-2 victory that powered the Orioles into first place. Along with it, he vaulted to the top of the league in hitting with a .347 average and jumped to second place in the runs-bat-ted-in department with 49. Rookie Chuck Estrada, sup ported by Gentile's two hom ers plus another by Gene Woodling, breezed to his eighth victory with a two-hitter. Estrada held the A's hit less until the eighth when Bill Tuttle singled and Andy Carey homered. . The Indians knocked the Yankees out of first place by winning the second game of a double-header, 7-6, in 11 innings after losing the open er, 6-2. The White Sox swept a pair from the Red Sox, 4-3 and 21-7 (that's no misprint), and the Senators took two from the Tigers, 4-2 and 7-4. Cubs Win Two In the National league, the last - place Cubs snapped a nine-game losing streak with 7-6 and 7-5 victories over the first - place Pirates. Despite the two losses, the Pirates lost mly a half game of their lead and they still are three games up on the second-place Braves, who lost to the Dodgers, 6-3. The Reds beat the Giants, 10-4, while the Phillies won a 3- 2 decision over the Cardi nals in a 12-inning opener and then lost the nightcap, 4- 3. Southpaw W h i t e y Ford stopped the Indians on four hits in winning the opener for the Yankees, who knock ed out Ted Bowsfield with a three-run burst in the sixth. Roger Maris was the key man in the nightcap. He kept the Yankees in the game with his 21st and 22nd homers of the season and then commit ted an 11th inning error on pinch hitter Bob Hale's dou ble that allowed Hank Foiles to score the winning run. Jim Perry was the winner and Johnny James the loser. Billy Pierce and Early Wynn hurled the While Sox to their two wins over the Red Sox. Pierce pitched a five-hitter and drove in two runs in the opener and Wynn coasted in the nightcap as the White Sox turned the game into a shambles with 11 runs in the fourth inning. Sherm Lollar led Chicago's 22-hit at tack in the nightcap with four hits. Pedro Ramos and Don Lee teamed up for Washington's opening game triumph over Detroit with Ramos register ing his fourth victory. The Senators scored all of their runs and eight of their hits off Frank Lary. In the night cap, Washington chased loser Paul Foystack with a four-run burst in the first inning and after Lew Berberet's three run homer drew the Tigers within one run in the seventh, Reno Bertoia hit a two-run homer for the Senators in the eighth. Bill Fischer gained his third victory. The Cubs beat Pirates aces Bob Friend and Vern Law in their sweep. Friend, trying for his 10th win in the opener, was rapped for 10 hits and six runs in 4 23 innings. Mark Freeman was the win ner although requiring Don Elston's help in the ninth when the Pirates rallied for four runs. Law, shooting for his 12th victory in the night cap, gave up all seven Chicago runs during the eight innings he worked. Errors by Don JUST SAY CHARGE IT!

Salem 2-3 Sacramento Gains Game On Indians By HOY WEBSTEH United Press International A one-man attack by short stop Buddy Peterson paved the way for Sacramento to gain a game on league-leading Spokane Sunday night in Pa cific Coast league action.

Cincinnati Victor 10-4 Over Giants Pittsburgh -UPD- The San Francisco Giants enjoy a wel come rest today after suc cumbing to the ways of defeat again Sunday, 10-4, at Cincin nati. The Giants, who bagged their second straight triumph over the Reds, 5-2, Saturday, couldn't do anything right Sunday, And life doesnt figure to get much better for San Fran cisco starting Tuesday night when it opens a three-game series with Pittsburgh. The league-leading Pirates swept three straight over the Giants just two weeks ago in Candle stick Park, San Francisco, now six games behind Pittsburgh and three back of runnerup Mil waukee, blew a first-inning two-run lead and had four pitchers shelled for 12 hits and nine earned runs. Bresioud Shelved Possibly even more damag ing than the game loss, how ever, was the sick bay report of shortstop Ed Bressoud, who injured an ankle sliding into third base Saturday. He'll probably miss the entire Pitts burgh series. The Giants started off big in the first inning when they tallied twice on doubles by Don Blasingame and Willie Mays and a single by Orlando Cepeda. But shortstop Andre Kodg ers' error and doubles by Va da Pinson and Gus Bell tied the score in the Reds' half. Cincinnati came back with four more in the third to send starter Jack Sanford to the showers. Johnny Antonelli took the long walk in the fourth as the Reds peppered across two more. Joe Shipley gave up an other run in the fifth, and Wally Post homered off Bud Byerly in the eighth for the final Cincinnati marker. Too Little - Too Late Cepeda blasted his 15th homer of the season in the eighth for San Francisco and Willie Kirkland doubled home the third and final Giant run in the ninth. Blasingame went 4-for-5 at the plate to help ease the mind of manager Tom Shee han. And Mays extended his hitting streak to 12 consecu tive games. Despite striking out three times Sunday,-the centerfielder leads all Nation al league batsmen with a .348 percentage. Sanford was charged with the loss, his fifth against six triumphs. Bob Purkey went the distance for his seventh win against three defeats. Cincinnati second baseman Elio Chacon humiliated the Giants in the fifth when he walked and stole second un challenged as first baseman Dale Long strolled to the mound to chat with Shipley, No Worms in Fish In Lake, Writer Says There are no worms in fish in Fish Lake, Hank De Voss. writer of the weekly Woods, Water.

This was the ancient little locker room at Portmarnock and the Slammer shrugged off the fact that he had blown a three-stroke lead to lose the individual International tro phy in a battle of two 48-year-olds to Belgium's Flory van Donck.
