St. Louis Scores Seventh Straight Triumph, Sadecki Stars in Win Over Braves By GARY KALE United Press International ' St. Louis thought it had a $50,000 bonus bust in Ray Sadecki early this season, but the 19-year-old rookie pitcher has played his Cards right into second place in the Na tional league race. The bespectacled southpaw, who lost four of his first six games, has recovered in time to send St. Louis skyrocketing from nine games back on Julv 7 to only 3 behind the league leading Pittsburgh Pirates. Sadecki made it four vic tories in his last five decisions as he beat the Milwaukee Braves, 4-2, Thursday night to raise his record to 6-5 and gave St. Louis its seventh straight triumph. Pittsburgh defeated Los An geles, 4-1, San Francisco ral lied to edge Philadelphia, 8-7, end Chicago took a 5-3 de cision from Cincinnati in oth er National league games. Washington handed Chicago its fourth straight setback, 2-1, and Boston swept a double-header from Kansas City, 5-3 and 9-1, in the only American League action. Helps Own Cause Sadecki, who doesn't be lieve in the baseball adage that pitchers are paid to pitch not hit, helped his own cause with two singles and scored two of the Cardinal runs. He fanned eight, but couldn't con tain Hank Aaron. The Mil waukee slugger drove in both runs with a first inning single -and his 29th home run- of the season in the ninth. Bob Buhl lost his fifth game. Rocky Nelson's seventh homer and some heads-up base running by the Pitts burgh first baseman snapped Don Drysdale's six-game win ning streak for Los Angeles and enabled George Witt to win his first game since 1958. Nelson's home run gave Pitts burgh a 2-1 lead in the open ing inning and his stretching of a routine single into a dou . ble led to a Pirate rally in the sixth that was climaxed by Bill Mazeroski's two-run sin gle. , .. .' San Francisco scored five times in the seventh inning with the aid of Philadelphia catcher Clay Dalrymple's er ror on a possible third-out throw to the plate and Willie McCovey's pinch-hit triple that chased in two runs. Or lando Cepeda ' collected his 18th homer for the Giants, while Tony Gonzalez drove in four Phillie runs with a dou ble and a single. Wins Punching Battle Billy Martin of the Reds won his punching battle with Cub hurler Jim Brewer, but Chicago took the victory on Ernie Banks' 30th homer of the year in the sixth was a man aboard. Banks'' three runs-batted-in raised his lead in that department to 87. The White Sox dropped VAt games behind the Yankees as Early Wynn weakened in the eighth inning and served up a two-run homer to Earl Bat tey. It snapped the burly Chi cago hurler's three-game win ning streak and left the Sox only a half-game in front of Baltimore. Ray Moore second of three Washington pitchers, won his third game. Vic Wertz drove in three runs in each game lo mire Kansas City deeper in the-AL cellar. Wertz' 15th homer highlighted a four-run Boston rally in the first inning of the opener as Bill Monbouquette earned his 12th triumph. Boston treated Don Larsen shabbily in the nightcap with ALLSP 2-527lH5 P I When You Need Concrete I for a Better Driveway. 1 1" V Improva the Value of Your Home Now. u'"f J- Ute the Modern Concrete Tru-Mix. w Delivered a three-run first inning off the K.C. hurler, who was making his first start since his recall from the minors.

New Clubs May Need 10 Seasons New York (UPl) It could be 10 years . before newly- created teams under base ball's expension plan reach the major league quality of the old established clubs, ac cording to Ralph Houk, highly-rated Yankee coach and possible successor to Casey Stengel. The estimate was based on the assumption that the teams would be manned by using the major leagues' "disaster plan," or a plan like it. That plan calls for each big league team to make 10 players avail able to a pool with any three open to what would amount to an unrestricted draft at prices ranging from $50,000 to $100,000. Tremendous Building Job The job to build from there would be tremendous, said Houk, who established himself at Denver as one of the best managers in the minor leagues. "The clubs would have to set up good scouting systems, would have to spend a huge amount of money and would have to have a lot of luck." Houk pointed out that the newly formed teams would all resemble triple A clubs in asmuch as they would have "basic weaknesses at virtually every position. The type player made available in the draft plan would be a guy with some basic weakness," he explained. "Say he is an outfielder. Well, a big league outfielder has to hit, field, throw and run. The outfielders made available would be deficient in one o these. Multiply those weak nesses by the number of play ers on. the club and you have a team with plenty of holes." Tighter Rules On Recruiting By Pros Asked nrmver - (UPD - The policy making board of the National Collegiate Athletic association called this week for tighter restrictions on recruiting of college athletes for profession al football and on recruiting of high school athletes by col leges. The 18-man NCAA council meeting in Denver, endorsed a nrnnnsnl askine the Nation al and American professional football leagues to declare publicly their policy in sign ing college players. The college board accused the leagues of violating a 3 year National Football league policy of not recruiting col lege athletes until after gradu ation. While not naming any spe cific players, the board men tioned "several well - publi cized cases" of athletes signed hpfnrn thev had finished col lege. These would Include the signing of Billy Cannon and John Robinson of Louisiana State university and Charlie Flowers of Mississippi. 1 CONCRETE C9 SP 2-S271 248 E. McANDREWS RD.

Wenatchee 8 49er Eleven To Oppose Cowboys By RAY ANDREWS United Press International Seattle tUPK A flock of old pros and one lone rookie help kick off the Pacific Northwest football season Saturday when the San Francisco 49ers tangle with the Dallas Cowboys at the University of Washington stadium. The lone rookie to make the grade in the starting lineups is Lee Mackey, a 236-pounder from East Texas State, who will play offensive right end for the 49ers. Before the annual pro exhi bition is over, however, both Red Hickey, 49er coach, and Tom Landry, Dallas coach, will throw in a bunch of rookies as the two teams sharpen up for (he coming National Football league sea son. Offensively, the 49ers have a sizable weight bulge from tackle to tackle with a 251 pound average. Dallas will go with an offensive line that averages 236 pounds. Defensively, the two outfits are somewhat closer. The 49crs average 245 pounds on the defensive line while the Cowboys are close to that with a 240-pound average. The 40cr defensive back field is a coach's dream. It in cludes Abe Woodson, Big Ten sprint champ who has done the 100 yards in a sizzling 9.5, and Jerry Martens, a 9.8 man. Also around are Eddie Dove, a crack low hurdler in his day and a defensive gen ius, Dave Baker, who takes a whole 10 seconds to run the 100. Eyes of Northwest fans will be on Don Heinrich, starting quarterback for the Cowboys, and Hugh McElhenny, a 49er halfback. Both are former U-W All-America players. sf V - 4 BLOW FLATTENS BREWER first baseman frank Thomas (25) plies over the prostrate body of Cub pitcher Jim Brew er into Cincinnati second baseman Billy Martin as Chicago catcher Sam Taylor pulls Cub Pitcher Victim of Bill Martin By ED SAINSBURY Chicago - (UPD - Infielder Billy Martin, his baseball ca reer checkered by brawls on and off t h e playing field, etiuld chalk ujj another fistic victim t o c' a y, the Chicago Cubs' rookie pitcher, Jim Brewer. Brewer, a 22-year-old south paw from Broken Arrow, Okla,. was hospitalized, and out of competition for a month, as the result of a bro ken eye orbit bone inflicted by one solid right hook by Martin Thursday after he sus pected Brewer was throwing "at my head." The punch, in the second inning of the Cincinnati Reds Cubs game, brought every member of both squads to the field, but no further brawling occurred. Martin was banish ed from the game and Brewer sent to the hospital, his nose bleeding and his eye swollen. Martin was penitent after the scrap, chiefly because his opponent had been hurt. "I don't like anybody to get hurt," he said. But in effect he charged that Brewer asked for it. 'Threw at My Head' "He threw at my head," he said, "and then when I went out to get my bat, he started saying some thing to me and giving me a lot of mouth, so T hit 'n'm If ho'rl kpnt nnint. nothing would have happen ed."

The naming of Drysdale as the National league's No. 1 player for July was something of a coincidence ingsmucii as he also won the award in July of 1959. Drysdale, who won six games without a defeat and compiled a 2.00 earned run average last month, received votes in the balloting while teammate Stan Wil liams, another fire - balling right-hander, wound up sec ond with eight votes.
