Dodgers Within LA Records 11th Straight Triumph; Philadelphians Step SF Giants' Streak By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sporti Writer Gentlemen, we've reached the millennium! Walt Alston, that hide bound conservative, has fi nally come around to admit ting he's "a bit optimistic" about his Los Angeles Dodg ers' pennant chances. Never one for making rash statements, Alston looked like he could hardly help himself after his streaking Dodgers won their 11th straight and climbed within a half-game of the National league lead by polishing off the New York Mets, 6-3, Thursday night. "I'm rather slow at becom ing optimistic," he said, in what certainly has to be the understalment of the month, "but if our kids keep playing the way they have been, I think we may have a chance." Figure In Win Three of the "kids" Alston had in mind figured promi nently in Thursday night's tri umph at the Polo Grounds. Larry Burright, a 24-year-old rookie, produced a two run triple that broke a 2-all tie in the sixth inning; 23-year-old Tommy Davis collected three of the Dodgers' 10 hits and drove in two runs, and Ron Fairly, another 23-year-old, slugged his third homer in as many games. Two Dodger veterans also had a hand in dealing the Mets their 11th straight set back. Right-hander Ed Roebuck, still one of the better relievers around at the ripe "old age of 30, allowed only one hit PREMIUM DAYS ACCESSORIES WITH EACH TOTE GOTE PURCHASED DURING SPRINGTIME mi AT NO $00 BUY NOW ond pocket the sovings you make by receiv ing the Tote Gote accessory itemi absolutely FREE!

Phils Beat Giants The Philadelphia Phillies ended the San Francisco Gi ants' seven-game winning streak and a seven-game losing streak of their own with a 2-1 victory, the Pittsburgh Pirates shaded the St. Louis Cardi nals, 5-4, the revitalized Cin cinnati Reds knocked off the Milwaukee Braves, 7-4, and the Houston Colts downed the Chicago Cubs, 10-6. Cleveland moved one full game in front in the American league by beating Baltimore, 4-3, the Detroit Tigers crushed the Chicago White Sox, 13-5. and the Kansas City A's squeezed past the Washington Senators, 1-0, in the only oth er game scheduled. Art Mahaffcy won his fifth game for the Phillies with a six-hitter although he had to throttle a ninth-inning rally in which the Giants had the tying run on first. The Phils scored both their runs in the first inning off loser Billy O'Dell. Aids Own Cause Bob Friend of the Pirates broke a personal five-game losing streak although he needed help when tha Card inals rallied in the ninth. Friend aided his own cause with a two-run siglc off loser Curt Simmons, und Bill Maz croski contributed a homer.

Hal Smith also connected for Houston while Ken Hubbs, Ron Santo and Lou Brock homered for Chicago. Don McMahon was the winning pitcher.

Jim Mudcat Grant won his third game without a loss even though Gary Bell had to bail him out in the eighth. Ron Hansen homered for the Orioles. Jake Wood and Bill Bruton provided most of the fire works for the Tigers in their lopsided victory over the White Sox. Wood had a three run homer and a two-run dou ble while Bruton also hit a three-run homer and drove in another run with one of his two doubles. Paul Foytack 4-1 was the winner with late-inning relief from Ronnie Kline. Jerry Walker of the A's and rookie Steve Hamilton of the Senators were locked' in a scoreless duel until the ninth when Joe Azcue's two-out single, coupled with an error by right fielder Joe Hicks, gave Kunsas City the ball game.

Tacoma downed Salt Lake 8-2 Thursday night and hand ed pitcher Al Lary his first defeat after six straight wins since he came west from the Chicago Cubs. The win wasn't as resounding as Spokane's 16-12 smash over the Bees 10 days ago, but Tacoma stayed ahead through all nine in nings and kept Salt Lake scoreless until the last frame. Former San Francisco Giants pitcher Dick Lemay took the win for Tacoma. He was backed up by a six-run eighth inning which featured a three-run homer by Billy Hain. Thursday night's win gave Tacoma a 3-1 record in their series with the Bees in Utah.

OREGON Wills Has 27 Steals This Year By NORMAN MILLER New York-il'PD-Stop that thief! If that man Maury Wills isn't arrested soon, he'll steal Ty Cobb's record. Wills stole three more bases Thursday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the hap less New Yorlf Mtts. 6-3, for their 11th straight victory, and he now has 27 thefts in 30 attempts. Project that phenomenal pace through scheduled and the figure comes out slightly more than 8!). Which is not too far be hind the immortal Cobb's 96 in 1915. Little Maury laughed, though, when someone point ed that out to him. To the modern ballplayer, Cobb's base-stealing iccord is even farther out of reach than Ruth's 60 homers. Takes Too Much "I don't think I can keen lm tnis pace," Wills said. "As , the season wears on and the weather becomes hotter, I won't be able to steal this much. It takes too much out of you." Someone chimed in, "And you won't be running against the Met all season long eith er." Wills has stolen seven of his bases .against the Mets, whose catchers have thrown out only 11 runners in 44 base-stealing attempts this sea son. To the Dodgers' mercurial, 163-pound shortstop, once re jected by the Detroit Tigers, base stealing is an art and a joy. Wills is fully aware of the old baseball adage that "home run hitters ride in Cadillacs," but he's serious about raising base stealing to the level of where it could earn him enough to buy a fancy car too. '"I'd like to make it suf ficiently worth while so that I linight mention it around i contract time he said with smile. In His Favor Wills has a lot in his favor this season. The Dodgers are not a power hitting team. Their new home ball park is not tailored for long ball hit ling. They have to score runs one at a time, on singles, bunts and stolen bases. And Wills has been given the okay toy manager Walt Alston to steal when he feels like it. "They're pVaying my type of game," grinned the wiry, 29-year-old inlielder. Wills cmph.TSized, however, that "I've nevex stolen a base unless it had an important bearing on the game. I've nev er tried to steal w.hen we were far out in front or, far behind. I don't believe in stealing for tile sake of show-boating." Omaha Dodgers Keep Pace With Leader Un'lod Press Interr-i tional Omaha kept pace with American Association front runner Indianapolis Thursday night, defeating Dallas-Ft. Worth, 7-3, while the Indians stopped Denver, 5-3. Louisville southpaw Denny Lemastcr struck out 13 at Oklahoma City, blanking the host club, 1-0.'
