These three southpaws have produced a real fender-bend er up front where the league ' leading San Francisco Giants, . second place Los Angeles Dodgers and third-place Cm- cinnati Reds find themselves bumper to bumper only 1V4 ' games apart.

He. pitched a three-hitter ; for San Francisco, struck out .: 10 and rapped loser Bob : Friend for a two-run single "s in a 3-0 victory over the Pitta- : burgh Pirates. Mccormick : now 3-1, thus kept the Giants game in front of the menac ing Dodgers , Unlike Podres and McCor- ' mick, Henry wasn't the win ; ning pitcher In Cincinnati 3-2 decision over St. , Louis, but he certainly nailed , down the Reds' ninth straight ; victory in style by entering , the game in the ninth inning 1 and striking out the side, Joey Jay Wins . .

After tackling the Braves three times, the Giants take on Cincinnati and Los Angeles for a trio each, The Giants needed only one productive inning Wednesday night to best the Pirates. That frame was the fifth. Loser and starter Bob Friend retired the first 14 men he faced. Then with two out in the fifth Felipe Alou beat out a slow roller to third base. When Don Hoak threw wild to first, Alou scampered to second. Mika Comes Through The Pirates decided to pur posely walk Ed Bailey. But shortstop Jose Pagan crossed up the strategy by singling to center to score Alou and make it 1-0. Bailey and . Pagan ad vanced to third and second when centerfielder Bill Vir- don fumbled the ball. Then up came McCormick who poked a bouncing single past Friend up the middle for the final two runs.

Covington Draws Life In Majors By JOE 8ARQI8 United Press International It looked like the end of the major league trail today for such veterans as George Crowe, Willie Jones and Joe Ginsberg, but Wes Covington drew a "life" with the Chi cago .White Sox. Crowe and Ginsberg were among a group of players sent to the minora Wednes day and Jones was given his outright release as the 18 ma jor league clubs pared their rosters to the required 25- man limit. . Covington, who has been in an almost continuous fight with the Milwaukee Braves front office since Joining the organisation In 19S2, became part of the last-minute Jug gling when the Braves dealt ihim to the Chicago White sox ror the S20,ooo waiver price. - Two Deals Consumated Two deals also were con summated before the Wednes day midnight deadline. In one, the Detroit Tigers traded first baseman Dick Gerncrt to the Cincinnati Reds for second baseman Jim Baumer and an undisclosed amount of cash, while In the second, the St. Louis Cardinals sent outfield er Bob Nieman to the Cleve land Indians for inflelder Joe Morgan and an unnamed player to be assigned later. The Sfl-year-old Crowe, who holds the major league ca reer record of 14 pinch home runs, was sent outright to the San Juan Marlins of the In ternational league by the Cardinals. Jones. 36. came to the end of the trail with Cincinnati after 14 seasons In the ma- ore during which time he served with the Phillies and Indiana as well as the Reds.

SF Options 2 Players Pittsburgh - (UPII - The San Francisco Giants got down to their 25-man player limit Wednesday by optioning in fielders Farrell Bowman and Bob Farley to Tacoma of the Pacific Coast .league on 24 hour recall. Hawaii Halts Win String of Seattle By RAYMOND L. ANDREWS United Press International Pacific Coast league pitch ers went on a four-hit binge Wednesday night and one of them snuffed out a 10-game winning streak for the leauge- leading Seattle Rainiers, It was tossed by Tom Baker of Hawaii as the Islanders blanked Seattle 2-0 in the opener of a twin bill. Bob Heffner returned the favor in the second game with another four-hitter and a 3-1 Seattle victory. Salt Lake City downed Spo kane 7-1 and Tacoma took Portland 3-1 in the other games. Both, naturally, were four hitters. The double- header at Vancouver between San Diego and the Mounties was rained out. , Baker had all he could han dle in Earl Wilson who had a no-hitter working for six in nings. The Islanders got a run in that 'inning, however, on two base throwing error on Rac Slider s grounder and two wild pitches. The Island ers added another in the sev enth on singles by Ray Jab- lonski and Jim McManus and Bobby Prescott's sacrifice fly. Heffner allowed but feur singles in the second game and the Islanders' lone run came in the fourth on two singles and two walks. Seattle got two In the third and added its final run on the sixth on Bob Tillman's solo homer. Bill Dailey was the four- hit man for Salt Lake and only back - to - back doubles by Curt Roberts and Tim Harkness in the ninth robbed him of the shutout. Salt Lake got three in the fifth and added four more in the eighth on a pair of two run, singles by Max Alvis and Dailey. Dailey, now 3-2, at one point retired 18 men in row. - The four i hits specialist at Tacoma wag Ron Herbel and the only run off him was an unearned tally In the first frame. Tacoma got that back in the same inning on a double by Tony Frulio and a single by catcher John Orsino. The Giants went ahead in the second on a run-scoring single by Frulio and Ralph Alomar added the final tally with a solo homer in the third over the right field fence.
