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

to getting three hits.
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.

league by beating Baltimore,

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

Bob Purkey stopped the
Braves on seven hits in bring
ing his record to 9-1 for the
Reds, who have won 20 of
their last 26 games. Frank
Robinson, gradually coming
out of his slump, drove in
four runs with a homer and
a double. Hank Aaron hit his
10th homer for the Braves.
The Colts rallied lor five

the Cubs. Jim Pendleton cli

also connected for Houston
while Ken Hubbs, Ron Santo
and Lou Brock homered for
Chicago. Don McMahon was
the winning pitcher.
Come From Behind
Cleveland overcame a three-
run deficit with a four-run
rally off Baltimore starter
Robin Roberts in the sixth
Tito Francona's two-run triple
was the big blow. 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. It was Walker's sixth
victory compared with two de
feats, lie gave up six hits, one
less than Hamilton.

Half-Game of League Lead
Tacomans Defeat
Salt Lake
By JAMES BOW
UPI Sports Writer
The Tacoma Giants round
ed up the Salt Lake City Bees
and managed to put handcuffs
on the league-leading Bees'
chief ring leader.
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.
In other Pacific Coast
League games Thursday
night, Vancouver downed the
Indians, 4-2, at Spokane and
San Diego edged the Beavers,
4-3, at Portland.
Sweep Series
The Seattle Rainiers and
the Hawaii Islanders had a
day off. The Islanders return
ed to Honolulu where they
will be hosts to the San Diego
Padres tonight.
San Diego swept their four
game series with Portland
with their close victory
Thursday night. The Padres
were ahead 4-1 in the sixth
inning when Tony Furilo hit
a solo homer for Portland.
John Tsilouris came to the
mound to relieve winner Bob
Riscnhoover and let in one
more run in the seventh in
ning. Riscnhoover and Tsitouris

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."

Mixed Tag Team Boui
To Head Wrestling Card
A six-man tag team match
will feature the professional
wrestling card at Medford
armory next Thursday night.
Each team will be made up
of one heavyweight and two
midgets and they will go for
one hour or two out of three
falls.
Shag Thomas, the big Negro
All-American football player
from Ohio State university
who made a big hit here a
month ago, will team with
Brown Panther and Pancho
Lopez, both midgets, against
Tito Kopa, Fuzzy Smith and
Irish Jackie. Smith and Jackie
are veterans of the midget
circuit and have been seen
here in the past.
Under mixed tag team
rules, if the two heavyweights
are wrestling and one of them
lags his midget partner, a
midget from the other corner
must also come into the ring.
The same applies if midgets
are in the ring and one tags
his heavyweight partner.
Two other matches will
complete the card, slated to
start at 8:30 p.m.

No Snag, No Drag
Ever take a fish's-eye view of a Mercury? It may
give you a new slant on the differences between
outboards.
All Mercury outboard motors have a streamlined
one-piece lower unit that glides over unseen ob
stacles. There's no protruding nose to snag on
weeds, logs, or trotlines.
And, speaking of lower units, did you know that
a driving propeller creates a vacuum behjnd its
hub? It does. And, this propeller vacuum cuts down
mph and mpg.
Not so with Merc. Merc's exhaust fires out the
center of the prop, destroying the drag, burying the
noise and fumes. (.We call it "Jet-Prop."')
No snag, no drag with Mercury. Just more RUN
for your money!
