The argument occurred after the Angels' Albie MEDFORD, SIP LA Wins Fourth Straight Game; Leaves ' ' Los Angeles -ftlPU- The Los Angeles Angels thanked lady luck today for their fourth straight win Tuesday night that .boosted them Into sev enth place in the American league. Although the Angels scored seven runs on four homers, it took an unearned run grow ing out of a disputed play to bring them an 8-7 win over the Boston Red Sox. With the Angels having won the series by taking two games, the same teams close , out their warfare tonight. Tom Brewer, 2-2, takes the mound for the Red Sox with Ken Moeller, 0-1, opposing him for the home club. The game ends the first Angel home stand. Prarion Walks Tuesday night with . the score tied 7-7 in the bottom of the ninth, little Albie Pear son led off with a walk given up by loser Ted Wills, who im mediately was replaced by Billy Muffett. Second baseman Ken Aspro monte bunted and catcher Jim Pagliaroni threw to shortstop Don Buddln at second who relayed the ball to first think ing he had a double play. But Umpire Larry Napp ruica Buddin failed to touch the bag with the ball In his pos session and Pearson was saie on the sarrifice. Steve Bilko singled to left field and Carl Yastrzeniski's throw home was wild, permit ting Pearson to score the win ning run from second.

That was another wild one," manager Bin Kigney said after the game. "When Bilko hit that single in the ninth I tried to pray it over the wall for a homer." Ell Grba, who took over in the ninth and gave up the double to Pagliaroni that tied the score, got credit for the victory. Loi, Ortiz Vis For Ring Crown Milan, Italy - tUPD - More than 80,000 are expected to attend tonight's "rubber match" between champion Dullio Loi of Italy and ex champ Carlos Ortiz of New York for the world junior wel terweight title. Their scheduled 15-round bout in huge San Slro stadium has attracted Italy wide at tention because each won a decision in their two previ ous title bouts. Moreover, the fight shapes up as a "grudge match"--real or feigned - because of t h e angry charges oj "robbery" after both previous engage ments. Ortiz. 24, kept the 140 pound title in the first fight at San Francisco last June 15. But Loi wresied the crown from him in their return meet ing at Milan, Sept. 1. Tonight's third meeting was originally scheduled for April 23 but wns postponed by heavy rains. v Spokes Trip .less in PCl. By United Press International Only Spokane and Salt Lake City saw action in Pa cific Coast league baseball play again Tuesday night with all other games rained out. Spokane downed the Bees 5-2 while games featuring Ta coma at Portland, San Diego at Vancouver and Hawaii at Seattle went by the boards. Spokane,- last year's pen nant winner, got single runs in the sixth and seventh for a 2-0 lead but the Bees tied that in the top of the eighth on a two-run single by Hal Jones.

SdHmon First Sets Three Mev Record By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International No matter who you like for the triple crown - Mickey Mantle or Carry Back - it misht be a wise idea to keep your eye on a dark horse named Jim Gentile. Baseball's "railbirds" grad ually are becoming convinced the broad-backed Baltimore Oriole first baseman can do it. Gentile gave them added food for thought by setting three major league record with a pair of grand slam homers in consecutive innings during a 13-5 victory over Minnesota that led Baltimore into sole possession of third place in the American league. The 2o-year-old uentue - all his friends call him "Dia mond Jim - drove in nine runs with his two homers and a sacrifice fly so that he now leads the league with .10 RBI's. That gives him six more than Mantle has and his season total of nine home runs is th esame as Mantle's. Given to brooding when he's not hitting, Gentile has been known to moan.."Maybe I should have been a truck driver like my father," but the fact of the matter is that he's making a joke of the sophomore jinx with a cur rent batting average of .353 that is third best in the lea sue. Gentile's first homer Tues day came off loser Pedro Ramos (2-2) in the first inning and his second one was hit at the expense of Pauf Giel in the second inning: The Ori oles' slugger thus became the first man in major league his tory ever to hit grand slam homers in consecutive times at bat and in consecutive in nings. The eight runs he drove in with those two blows earned him another record -most runs driven in over two innings. Ron Hansen also homered for the Orioles to help Chuck Estrada to his second victory. Bob Allison . hit a pair of homers for the Twins and Hal Naragon and Harmon Kille- brew hit one apiece. Elsewhere in the AL, the Chicago While Sox snapped a seven game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians; Kansa s City beat New York, 5-4; first place Detroit ran its winning streak to six games with a 7-2 win over Washington in the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, but lost the nighlcap, 5-4, and Los Ange les beat Boston, 8-7. , In the National league, Pittsburgh ended San Fran cisco's four -game' winning streak, p-6; Milwaukee down ed Chicago, 8-5, and Los An geles defeated Philadelphia, 5-2, in a game called during the sixth inning because of rain, which also postponed The loss went to Jim Weaver. Spokane played errorless ball but the Bees killed their chances with five errors. Weather permitting, t h e same teams are scheduled to meet again tonight.

The Giants managed to open up a little daylight on their pursuers by winning 8 of the first 10 road contests on their current swing, but Tuesday night the Pittsburgh Pirates tallied seven times in the first two innings and then coasted to a rain-sprinkled 9-6 decision at Forbes field. Now . the standings show only a game and a half be tween the first place men of Alvin Dark and the fourth place Cincinnati Reds. Los Angeles and Pittsburgh are in second and third as a classic race seems to be under way.

Jack Sanford didn't have it Oriole Slugger Rides Bench St. Paul, Minneapolis - (UPD - Jim Gentile, who set three major league records with a pair of grand slam homers against the Minnesota Twins Tuesday, will start today's game on the Baltimore bench. "The Twins are pitching a left hander Jack Kralick, so we put Walt Dropo on first base," explained Baltimore Manager Paul Richards. "That's the way we've worked for two seasons, and that's what we do now, even though Gentile is carrying a hot bat.". Gentile doesn't have trou ble hitting southpaws, Rich-j arcls said, but Dropo hits them a little better."

Jim Duf falo took over and was greet ed by a towering double off the bat of Bob Skinner and a single by the red-hot Roberto Clemente. The Pirates were ahead 7-0 before the Giants knew what hit them. It was too bad for the Giants, because they had also brought their hitting shoe? with them. Willie Mays hit a double and a triple in the early go ing, and Ed Bailey finally got the Giants on the scoreboard with a homer in the fifth.
