Gentile 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

By HOY WEBSTEH

the way for Sacramento to

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

Dale Long strolled to the
mound to chat with Shipley,
