Mtuiunu, uhbliuN FHlUAt, AfHIL 19oi GIBSON FIRES BULLETS FOR SL CARDS Laughs Now Cheers for Ex-Trotter Br FRED DOWN Vri Spom Wrlltr The laughs have turned to cheers (or Bob Gibson - a fl low who started in profes sional sports as a "clown" but is turning out to be quite a pitcher. The 26-year-old native of Omaha, Neb., broke into or ganiied sport as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters in 1957- 88. The Globetrotters like to win but making people laugh at their antics Is their bread and butter. The Cardinals, on the other hand, are interested in the very serious business of end ing IS years of competitive failure and winning their first National league pennant since 1948. And with Gibson firing bullets to help round out a staff of strong arms it is possi ble that the Redbirds will ac complish just that. The Cardinals swept to their eight victory in 11 games Thursday night when they beat the Houston Colts, 3-2, behind the over -powering, near-no-hit pitching of the 8-1, 183-pound righthander. Gib son pitched no-hit ball until Roman Mejlas opened the eighth with a homer, walked only two batters and struck out five. When he completed the seventh inning, Gibson, who had pitched 10 consecu tive hitless innings, including the last three against the Cubs on Sunday. Seer On Wildnass Gibson's wildness led to a Houston run in the second in ning but the Cardinals tied the score on Julian Javier's fourth-inning homer and went ahead on a run-scoring single by Julio Gotay in the seventh. Stan Musial singled in Curt Flood with the winning run In the eighth. Camllio Pascual, another hard throwing right-hander, pitched the Minnesota Twins to a 3-2 victory over the Balti more Orioles in the other Thursday night game.

HIT BY PITCH Gene Woodling of the Washington Senators grasps his right leg after he was hit by a pitched ball in the fourth inning of the Boston Red Sox-Washington game yesterday at Boston. Wood- ling s teammates crowd around him with Sox catcher Jim Pagliaronia and umpire Joe Paparella. Wooallng was able to continue playing. Boston won 8-7. (UP1) al, who also singled in a run. spaced out nine hits and struck Out seven en route to his third win of the season. The Milwaukee Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-4, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago Cubs, 12-3, in other NL games. In the American League, the De troit Tigers topped the Kan sas City A's, 11-7, the Cleve land Indians won over the Los Angeles Angels, 8-4, and the Boston Red Sox scored an 8-7 win over the Washington Sen ators. Rookie Tommy Aaron, younger brother of the famous Hank, drove in four runs with a three-run homer and a dou ble to lead the Braves' 11-hit attack producing their third straight win. Catcher Del Crandall had a two-run dou ble and lefty Bob Hendley pitched three-hit ball for seven innings for the victory. Dodgers Have Crucials Against Pittsburgh Bucs Los Angeles -IUPD- The Los Angeles Dodgers haven't lost a series opener since opening day, but they go into to night's budding "crucial" series with Pittsburgh trail ing the Pirates by 2Vi games. This unusual circumstance can be explained in a number of ways - but most easily by the fact the Bucs are off to the races with a rare burst of speed. Pittsburgh hit town With an 11-2 mark, against the Dodgers' 10-8, including Thursday's 12-S victory over the Cubs at Chicago. Don Drysdale, a much hap pier man in the more spacious Chavez Ravine Stadium, was in quest of his third win against one loss for the Dodgers in the series opener tonight. Bog Veale, 1-0, gets the starting assignment for the Pirates. The Dodgers feasted again on Cub pitching in Thursday's game at Wngley Field. The Davis boys, unrelated Willie and Tommy, continued their assault on the Cub pitchers. Willie hit two home runs, both solo shots, to match Tommy with five apiece. Tommy con tributed a triple to a four run eighth inning Dodger scoring spurt. Daryl Spencer, unable to untrack as a Dodger with the exception of a brief part of the 1961 season, hit his first hom er of the year and Frank Howard also hit a roundtrip per in the loosely played game. Ron Pcrranoski. last of three Dodger pitchers, got credit for the win and Dick Ellsworth suffered his first defeat. Perranoski permitted only one hit in his 3 13 in nings, following rookie Pete Richert and veteran Ed Roe buck, in that order.

Willie Davis hit two homers and Tommy Davis and Wally Moon had three hits each for the Dodgers, who were also helped by six Cub errors. Ernie Banks homered for the Cubs moving him past Rogers Hornsby to No. 18 on the all- time NL home run list. Banks has 303 homers. A two-run homer by Al Kaline and a two-run pinch triple by Bubba Morton were the big blows of Detroit s sev en-run seventh-inning rally. Lefty Hank Aguirre shut out the A s with one hit for the last four innings to win his first game of the season while Bob Grim was the loser. Sam McDowell, 19-year-old bonus boy, won his first major league game with four innings of hitless relief for the In dians. John Romano had three hits and Woodie Held had two to lead Cleveland's eight-hit attack. Pinch-hitter Lu Clinton's eighth-inning single drove in the decisive run for the Red Sox in a 3:09 workout with the Senators during which 10 pitchers allowed 26 hits and 17 walks. Dick Radatz, who struck out the only batter he faced, received credit for his first major league victory. LA Angels Encounter Tiger Nine Detroit -0IPD- The Los An geles Angels arrived here early today for their first meeting of the season with the Detroit Tigers, the club that gave them the most trouble last year. For the initial game, man ager Bill Rigney tabbed Ken McBride, his top pitcher of 1961 who currently has a 1-2 record, as his starter. For the Tigers, manager Bob' Scheff ing said he was starting Jim Bunning (1-0). Last year McBride account ed for half the Angel wins from Detroit with two vic tories over the Tigers. Detroit beat Los Angeles 14 times while dropping four games. Bunning had the Tigers' best record against the An eels, recording four wins and no losses and he went on to score 17 victories for the season, topped only by Frank Lary's 23-win mark on the Detroit club. The Angels closed out their first home stand in Chavez Ravine stadium Thursday by dropping a 6-4 decision to the Cleveland Indians. The An gels won three games at home while losing six. The wildness of Los Angeles relief pitchers along with a great rescue job for the Indians by 19-year-old Sam McDowell was the story of the game. In the seventh inning, An gel firemen Ryn Duren, Joe Nuxhall and Art Fowler gave up four walks between them and a pair of singles for three runs. Duren, who gave up the first two walks was charged with the defeat. Except for that inning, Duren might have been the winning pitcher in relief of starter Eli Grba who worked three innings and gave up three runs on five hits. ATM..

A 11 PDMT SF Giants Take on Cubs In Four-Game NL Series San Francisco - ll'Pli - Now they've handled some of the "power clubs'' of the National League, the San Francisco Gi ants open a four-game series tonight against the lowly Chi caso Cubs. Manager Alvin Dark's war riors took Thursday off while Los Angeles was thrashing the Bruins, 12-5. Southpaw Billy O'Dell (2-0) was slated to start tonight auninst the Cubs' Cal Koonce (1-0), a rookie from Wenat chee, Wish., of the class B Northwest League. He launch ed his major league career April 22 by going the distance to beat the St. Louis Cardi nals. 5-1. The Giants start another brief home stand with a rec ord of 10-5 and are fresh from humbling the Pittsburgh Pi rates, 8-3, Wednesday. Among the optimistic, this showing against the league's upper bracket is an indicator that the Giants could go all the way. But it's also a long time until September. Harvey Kuenn, now the Gi ants take charge left-fielder after an indifferent debut in '61, is a doubtful starter. Ole' Harv sustained an injured toe Wednesday when he was root ing home a runner from third and pitcher Jack Lamabe of the Bucs stepped on his foot It was just a phase in a weird, two game set with the Pirates who Invade Candle stick Park on Monday. Dur ing the second contest, Ed Bailey crashed a home run off pitcher Bob Friend after the two teams nearly rioted over the Giant catchers that he was "low bridged." And Don Larsen struck out eight in iour innings to save rookie Gaylord Perry's first victory.
