Yankees Go In Maris Hits Home Run, Three Doubles; Giants, Bucs in Crucial Series By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees rose to first place . . . Roger Maris went on the warpath and Early Wynn got back in the winning column . . . and the San Francisco Giants set- up the first "crooshul" series of the young National league sea ion. It all happened on a wild , Sunday of big league action during which: -The Pirates whipped the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-1 and 1- 0, to regain the NL lead by 28 percentage points. -The Yankees extended the Washington Senators' losing streak to 13 games and took the AL lead with 3-2 and 11-6 triumphs. -Roger Maris had six hits In a doubleheadcr to raise his average to .262 and Early Wynn won his first game since last July 16 to advance with in seven victories of his covet ed 300-lifetime goal. -The Giants blitzed the Chi cago Cubs, 7-0 and 60, to run their winning streak to five games on the eve of a series with the front-running Pirates. Friend Wins Fourth Bob Friend pitched a four hitter for his fourth win and Al McBean turned in a seven hitter for his third straight victory for the Pirates before 51,574 at Los Angeles. Howie Goss' two-run homer and Bill Mazeroski's two-run double were the big blows of the first game and Dick Stu art's homer was the decisive blow of the nightcap. Whitey Ford pitched a seven-hitter for his second vic tory in the opener and the Yankees romped in the night cap with a 15-hit attack that included three doubles and a homer by Maris. Ford's victory gave him a life-time record of 160-43 for a .7174 percentage that is unmatched by any big league pitcher who ever won 100 or more games. Wynn, ailing with a sore arm since mid-1961, pitched a three-hit 5-1 victory that en abled the White Sox to sweep a doublcheader after rookie Mike Hcrshberser's homer topped the Boston Red Sox. 2- 1, in the opener. It was the 293rd victory of Wynn's big league career. Match Three-Hitters Jack Sanford and Billy Pierce each pitched a three hitter for the Giants. Willie May's two-run homer was the big blow of the Giants' 13-hit first-game attack and Ed Bailey hit his sixth homer in the nightcap. The win increas ed Pierce's record to 3-0 and was his second straight route going effort. The Cincinnati Reds scored 4-3 victory ofter being crushed, 16-3, by the St. Louis Cardinals: the Philadelphia Phillies blew the first game of their doublcheader, 8-0, but beat the New York Mets, 10-2, in the second game, and the Houston Colts shaded the Mil waukee Braves, 3-2, in other NL games. In the other AL games, the Minnesota Twins longballed the Cleveland Indians, 8-4 and 7-3. the Baltimore Orioles beat the Kansas City A s. 8-3, and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 13-6. Eddie Kasko's ninth-inning homer gave Bob Purkey his fourth win for the Reds after Ken Boyer drove in five runs with two triples and a double and Larry Jackson pitched a six-hitter in the Cards' opening-game rout. Stan Musial also homered in the first game. Makt Nina Miscues Alvin Jackson's eight-hitter and homers by Frank Thomas and Jim Hickman gave the Mets their victory but the Phillies won the second game as Don Demeter. Tony Gon zales and Wes Covington horn rred during a 14-hit offensive. The Phillies committed nine errors during the doublchead er. Homers by Roman Mejias. Hal Smith and Jim Pendleton produced the Colts' three runs and gave Dick Farrell his first win. Don McMahon, who threw the tie-breaking home run ball to Mejias in the ninth, was the loser. Key singles by Harmon Killebrew and Bill Tuttle helped produce a four-run eighth inning that won the opener for the Twins, who then hit six bases-empty hom ers to "laugh it up" in the second game. John Goryl led the hnmerun assault with two. Jim Gentile drove in four run Wl" h two homers and (uncle for the Orioles, who cot one-hit relief pitching over th lat three inninfis from Billy Hoeft and Dick Hall, r.nntilp second homer, a three-run shot, put the Orioles ahead. 5-3. in the seventh. Jake Wood, Al Kaline, Bill Bruton and Vic Brown hit homers to lead a 13-hit De troit attack that brought Phil Regan his first triumph. I.ISKSt ORF.S: Anifrlvan League (First came) New York ...

SF Obtains Bob Nieman San Francisco - il'PH - Bob Nieman, the much - traveled outfielder, was scheduled to bring his pinch hitting talents to the San Francisco Giants today. The club, which has a pinch hitting record of one for 19 this season, acquired the 35-year-old Nieman Sunday from the Cleveland Indians. "Maybe he can help us in that department," manager Alvin Dark said. The Giants gave Cleveland an undisclosed amount of cash and a minor league play er to be named later for Nie man. who is ir his 12th ma jor league season. He has a lifetime batting average of .235. Last season he batted .354 for Cleveland, mainly in pinch - hit roles. ) r: v.YYi in outhern TRAINS Regain Sport C i 1 OSCAR FRALEY POT CldC (? International New York iL'Pt Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: It isn't often that anybody in boxing deserves a rousing round of applause but the New York slate athletic com mission rates a series of bows for turning down Charles Lis ton's application for a license to meet Floyd Patterson for the heavyweight title. The fight will go on some where, and that's for sure. But New York's boxing offi cials won't have been contrib uting factors to the chance that an unrehabilitated hood lum becomes one of our child ren's sports idols. Miracle Whether or not Liston is re habilitated remains to be seen. But it's a miracle of less than a year's standing, if so, and less than that if you believe reports of his occasional pub lic language. "There's no reason to think that Liston might not get a license." promoter Tom Bo lan said when Liston was about to apply. It was a blackjack, pure and simple. Those trying to put the bout across obviously is year, wide - door products. More highway and Piggyback equipment will also enable us to expand these flexible services. This S69 million is only part of S.E's 1962 investment in greater efficiency. We will also spend $24 million for more electronic installations, such as Centralized Traffic Control, plus new freight handling, car and locomotive maintenance facilities, communications and other im provements. We are making these large expenditures to meet the ever-changing needs of a growing economy with the most modern, diversified and efficient transportation services.
