Persistent Pittsburgh Goes On Top In National League By MILTON RICHMAN United Presi International Okay, so they're not spec tacular, but the world cham pion Pittsburgh Pirates sure are persistent and they're back on top again using last year's formula - pitching in stead of power. The peck-away Pirates are dead last in home runs in the National league with a meag er total of seven. A team like the Giants hits more homers than that in one game. But there's nothing wrong with the Pirates' pitching as southpaw Harvey H a d d i x plainly proved Tuesday night by shutting -out the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-0, for Pittsburgh's fifth victory in the last six games. . It was, a typical Pirate tri umph. No home runs and only three extra base hits. One of those extra base hits, how ever, was a two-run double by Bocky Nelson that highlighted 0 three-run third inning. It was more than enough for Haddix and too much for Ernie Broglio, who went down to his third defeat as against a single victory. Pittsburgh thus took over first place from San Francis co, which lost to Chicago, 9-4. Los Angeles out-lasted Mil waukee, 11-9, and Cincinnati ran its winning streak to three games with a 3-2 decision over Philadelphia. Detroit held on to the Amer ican league lead with a 6-3 win over Washington, while New York remained a game off the pace with a 10-inning 6- 4 triumph over Minnesota. Balitmore edged Los Angeles, 7- 6, Cleveland nipped Chi cago, 3-2, in 11 innings, and Kansas City defeated Boston, 7-4. Don Cardwell won his third straight game for the Cubs by limiting the Giants to five hits, one of which was a two-run homer by Willie McCovey in the ninth. That gave the Giants 14 homers in three consecutive games, equalling the major league record. Cardwell, who pitched a no hitter against the Phillies last year, held the Giants hitless until pinch hitter Harvey Kuenn singled with two out in the sixth. Bill Williams hit a grand-slam homer eff loser Jack Sanford and George Alt man also homered for the Cubs who scored all their runs in the first two innings. 1 The Dodgers won their game from the Braves with a six-run rally in the seventh inning. Five walks, an error and a wild pitch helped the Los Angeles rally. Frank Howard, Tommy Davis and John Roseboro homered for the Dodgers. Rookie Jim Golden was the winner and Ken MacKenzie the loser. V a d a Pinson's homer touched off a three-run fourth inning rally that carried the Beds to their victory over the Phillies. Loser Dallas Green paved the -way for his own defeat with a two-run throw ing error. Rookie Ken Hunt was credited with his second victory. He gave up all six of the Phils' hits before Jim i rs--. - tr. -. . r ami"- - 7 ai 1 s a -fii?

Norm Cash socked his fourth homer for Detroit and rookie Jake Wood con tributed a pair of triples. Tom Sturdivant was the loser. Mickey Mant'le grand-slam homer in the 10th inning broke up a tie between the Yankees and Twins. Mantle's eighth homer came off loser Camilo Pascual who nursed a 2-1 lead until Bill Skowrot homered in the seventh. Har mon Killebrew hit his third homer for the losers. Jim Coates, who relieved starter Art Ditmar was the winning pitcher. . Jim Gentile's fifth homer of the season off loser Tom Morgan in the ninth inning was the payoff blow in a battle of home runs between the Orioles and Angels at Los Angeles. Gus Triandos and Jerry Adair also hit homers for the Orioles while Earl Averill Jr., Ted Kluszewski and Leon Wagner connected for the Angeles. Reliever Hoyt Wilhelm gained his third straight victory without a loss. Early Wynn of the White Sox had a 2-1 lead until the ninth when Don Dillard hom ered for Cleveland to send the game into extra innings.

Not after watchine Earl Wilson, a pinch hitting pitch er, swat a three-run homer in the seventh inning Tuesday night to give the Rainiers a 4-2 Pacific Coast league vic tory in their opener with Hawaii. Seattle came back to take the nightcap and the double triumph tied the Rairfjers for the league lead with Van couver. Salt Lake blasted Spokane 20-3, Vancouver thumped Ta coma 13-2 and Portland beat San Diego 7-5 in other action. Seattle trailed 2-1 in the top of the seventh in the seven-inning opener but a single by Harry Malmberg and Mar Ian Coughtry put runners on first and second. Wilson then came in and parked his homer off Roger' Bowman for the victory. Seattle won the nightcap with a six-run uprising in the ninth on five hits, including a game-tying two-run homer by Paul Smith and a three run double by Curt Jenson, bait Lake also found a pitcher who could hit in Julius (Swampf ire) Grant who parked a two-run homer in the second. The Bees really wrapped it up in the fifth when they scored 11 runs, 10 of them with two out.

KENTUCKY Sox Leave Door Open To Jensen Reno, Nov. -fl'PD- Tlie door was open today for Jackie Jensen to return to the Boston Red Sox but that seemed about as probable as Ted Williams throwing a party for The Hub's baseball writers. Red Sox vice president Dick O'Connell said in Boston Tuesday the team was going on the possibility of Jensen having a change of heart after his abrupt departure last Sun day. 'Personally, I doubt that he will," O'Connell added. "But If he should decide in the next few days to return-after he's had a chance to think things over-we're leavii-g the possi bility open." May 10 Deadline' Jensen has until midnight of Wednesday, May 10, to come back. Then the club can drop him from the active list. O'Connell added that Jen sen had apologized over the phone. He quoted the blond slugger as saying, "I guess I really fouled things up this time." Manager Mike Hlggins of the Red Sox also got a long distance apology from Jensen for leaving the club in Cleve land without notifying him. In another call to Charles (Boots) Erb, his restaurant partner in Oakland, Jensen stressed that he had lost his reflexes and did not want to stay on at a high salary, which is believed to be about $45, 000.
