Central 215 East Main O Dodgers Take Two From NY Mets; Winning String Now 1 0 Straight By TIM MORIARTY UPI Sports Writer The Los Angeles Dodgers needed only one look at the Polo Grounds to make a hap py liar out of manager Walt Alston. "We don't knock down any fences-we just rely on singles, steals and sacrifices, Alston said Wednesday when tjje Brooklyn expatriates showed up at the historic horseshoe ballpark for the first time since 1957. A crowd of 55,704-the larg est Polo Grounds turnout in 20 years - then watched the Dodgers hit seven home runs in sweeping their holidliy dou bleheader over the New York Mets, 13-6 and GsS. The twin victories increased the Dodg ers' latest winning skein to 10 straight and left Casey Sten gel's Mets staggering with 10 consecutive defeats. Willie Davis, Maury Wills and RonFalrly each hit a pair of homers and Frank Howard added one for Alston's men. Davis' second clout of the day Drovided the Dodgers with their winning run in the ninth inning of the nightcap after Sandy Koufax coasted to vic tory behind a 19-hit attack in the opener. The infant Mets also pro vided their fans with a chance to cheer when they pulled off a triple play in the sixth in ning of the second game. Gil Hodges, playing against his former Dodger teammates, also rocked the old park to its foundation by hitting three homers to tie Ralph Kiner for 10th place on the all-time home run list with a career total of 369.

Miller also relieved in the ninth in ning of the nightcap and re tired the Phils with the help of a double play. The Giants collected 27 hits in the twin bill. Single Brings Split , Don Blasingame's run-scoring single in the 16th inning earned the Reds their split with the Braves. Milwaukee had lied the score at 3-3 in the ninth inning when Hank Aaron scored on Gus Bell's sacrifice fly. The Braves won the opened when Aaron sin gled home his brother, Tommle, in the ninth Inning. A two-run homer by Dick Stuart in the first inning set up the Pirates victory over the Cardinals. Robert Cle mente collected three of the Bucks' nine hits, including a fourth-inning triple. The Colts ended their 4 la bour mar.tlhon against the Cubs when Roman Mejias walked and scored the win ning run on Carl Warwick's double. Rookie Dave Giustl earned his first major league victory by pitching nine in nings of scoreless relief.

New York -(UPD- What other major league baseball team could win 10 straight games and still be in second place in the league standings? It's the same team that lost 10 straight last August and still finished second-the Los Angeles Dodg ers. Last year the Dodgers weic hounded by Cincinnati which eventually won the pennant. This season the San Francisco, Giants, currently boasting an eight-game winning streak, are making the Dodgers Just as unhappy. Los Angeles beat all the elements in taking a twinbill Wednesday against the New York Mets-lncluding a triple play and three home runs by former Dodger Gil Hodges but still was Just holding its own as the Giants swept a doubleheader from Philadel phia.

The victories ran the Angels' winning streak over the Red Sox to eight in a row. Several incidents thal'took place during the evening indi cated that the Red Sox may be in for this sort of trouble all season. For example, Steve Bilko, the Angels' 240-pound answer to a starch-free diet, was so moved b,y the Sox' play he tried to steal second base .and made it. Bilko had stolen only one base in nine previous major league seasons. Pitcher Tight And several minutes prior to the start of the, second game Angel manager Bill Rigney discovered that his announced starter, Ted Bows field, was so tight he couldn't throw. Rigney had used 144 pitchers in the previous 43 games and Bowsfield's prob lerg was enough to make Rig cry. But he hustled in Duren, who pitched one-hit ball for three innings, and then fol lowed him up with Fowler to shutout the Red Sox. Fowler allowed two hits and no walks in six innings to gain the vic tory. It was of no comfort to Boston to find 'out Fowler hadn't won a game until last night. In the opener, Leon Wag ner drove in four runs with a 430-foot homer, his 13th of the season, and a 380-foot double. He also put down a sacrifice bunt, which is some what of an oddity for the club's leading h om e run hitter. Fights WEDNESDAY BOUT United Press International Juarez, Mexico Gaspar Ortegoa. 148.
