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

a three-run first inning off the

his first start since his recall

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.

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.

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
