Vaudeville Comes Back To Major
League Baseball; Dodgers
National Loop Lead To 2
Boost
Games
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sport Writer
Ever think you'd 3ce vau
deville come back? And to
baseball, of all places!
It did Tuesday, and as they
uv in show business, it was
easser.
Casey Stengel, that fine old
trouper, suddenly did a jig at
the Polo Grounds . . . Ralph
Houk and Billy Hitchcock
were set up for a boxing
nlove comedy routine in Bal
timore . . . and imaginative
Jim Picrsoll broke in a brand
new act in Detroit.
Casey did his jig up the
clubhou.e steps with the pub
lic address system playing
"Happy Days Are Here
Again" after the last-place
New York Mets snapped a sev
en-game losing streak with a
6-5 victory over the Milwau-
kce Braves.
The boxing gloves were
presented to Houk and Hitch
cock by a department store as
a reminder of the fist fight
the two managers almost got
Into the last time the New
York Yankees met the Balti
more Orioles.
'Keep Punching'
There was a message with
the gloves to each manager:
"Keep punching."
Houk and Hitchcock traded
only smiles at home plate, but
then (he Orioles handed the
Yankees their fifth straight
loss, 3-1, with Brooks Robin
con doing most of the damage.
Piersnll put on the liveliest
how of all as Frank Lary
won his first game since April
13 by pitching the Detroit Ti
gers to a 5-0 win over the
Washington Senators.
Jim singled in the sixth inn
ing but was left stranded.
Even so, he solemnly rounded
the bases and then cut over as
Lary walked off the mound
Suddenly, Picrsall feinted
as if to bowl Lary over, then
dodged around the startled
Tiger pitcher. Previously,
while waiting his turn in the
on-deck circle, the Senator
outfielder walked over to the
stands and chatted with a
woman fan.
Piersall swung at one of
Lary's pitches and missed
with fhc bases loaded in the
seventh, the bat flying out of
his hands and landing near
the mound. Lary walked over
as if to pick it up but left
the bat on the ground. The
crowed roared as Piersall was
forced to go to the mound to
retrieve his bat.
Caih Paced Tigers
That was the kind of night
it was.
On the more serious side,
Lary held the Senators to six
hits while Norm Cash paced
the Tigers' nine-hit attack
with his 17th homer.
The Minnesota Twins mov
ed within half a game of the
American league lead with a
9-4 decision over the Chicago
White Sox as the Boston Red
Sox were beating the first
place Cleveland Indians, 4
2. The Los Angeles Angels
took over third place with a
7-4 win over Kansas City.
In the National league, the
Los Angeles Dodgers in
creased their lead to 2'At
games by defeating the St.
Louis Cardinals, 3-2. The
Houston Colts subdued the
San Francisco Giants, 6-4, the
Cincinnati Reds edged the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-1, and
the Chicago Cubs clipped the
Philadelphia Phillies, 9-5.
Robinson paced the Orioles
to their fifth straight victory
when he hit his 11th homer
in the sixth inning to break a
1-1 tie with the Yankees and
then singled home an insur
ance run in the eighth to kayo
loser Ralph Terry. Chuck
Estrada was the winner with
help lrom Jack Fisher in the
ninth
The Twins used four home
runs to wallop the White
Sox. Harmon Killcbrew tag
ged loser Juan Pizarro for a
two-run blow in the first in
ning after which winning
pitcher Jim Kaat, Vic Power
and Bob Allison also hit
homers.
Bill Monbouquette limited
the Indians to four hits to
gain his fifth victory for the
Red Sox. Rubin Gomez,
making his first start for the
Tribe, was nudged for 10 Hits,
including Carroll Hardy's
two-run double and a homer
by Frank Malzone.
Four homers by the Angels
proved too much for the A's.
Felix Torres, Leon Wagner,
Lee Thomas and winning
pitcher Ken McBride each
connected for Los Angeles to
hand John Wyatt his fifth
defeat.
The Mets turned back the
Braves on Roger Craig's seven-hit
pitching and homers
by Joe Christopher and Gene
Woodling. Ed Mathews
homered for Milwaukee.

Frank Howard scored the
winning run for the Dodgers
against the Cardinals on Lin
dy McDaniel's mental lapse.
Howard led off the seventn
with a double off loser Curt
Simmons and moved up on a
sacrifice. McDaniel then took
over and induced pinch hitter
Duke Snider to hit a grounder
right back at him. Instead of
holding Howard at third, Mc
Daniel threw Snider out at
first and that broke the tie.
Howard also homered with
one on in tne iirsi inning
to help Don Drysdale post his
11th victory.
Farrell Saves Colts
Dick Farrell struck out
Felipe Alou and Jim Daven
port with the bases full in the
ninth to save the colts' vic
tory over the Giants. Farrell
took over for winner Dave
Giusti with one out in the
ninth. Bob Lillis drove in
three runs for the Colts and
Hal Smith homered. Billy
O'Dell was the loser.
Jerry Lynch's tie-breaking
single in the eighth inning
gave the Reds their decision
over the Pirates and also en
abled them to take over third
place from Pittsburgh. Jim
Maloney held the Pirates to
three hits in seven innings
and was the winner.
Trailing 5-3 in the ninth,
the Cubs hammered five Phil
lies' pitchers for six runs
after rookie Dennis Bennett
had held them to five hits
and struck out 11 men over
the first eight innings. Pinch
hitter Bob Will's two -run
double tied the score in the
ninth and Andre Rodgers then
drove in what proved to be
the winning run. Dave Ger-
rard was the winner.

Olympic Trials
Sought by LA
Los Angeles -OCT- Los An

pic trials and the infiS games
If the stepped up campaign of
lhe Southern California for
the Olympic Games pays off.
The full support of the may
or's office was pledged to the
committee Tuesday by Sam
Yorty at the executive board
meeting.
Keen competition with New
York City was forecast by the
committee president and
member-at-large, Bill Henry,
who warned the eastern city
was seeking the 11164 trials to
be staged In conjunction with
its contemplnted World's Fair.
Henry, former sports editor
and now a columnist for the
Los Angeles Times, pointed
out that Los Angeles had guar
anteed the V. S. Olympic com
mittee S350,Ono plus all radio
and television revenues to
hold the trials here. New
York also was understood to
be matching the offer, he said.
and men on first and third.
His first official act was to
walk Orlando Cepeda by mis
take. But then Felipe Alou,
the league's leading hitter at
game time, strurk out for the
second time in the clutch and
Jim Davenport also fanned to
end things.
Willie Mays drove in three
of San Francisco's runs with
two sharp singles that helped
nudge his batting average to
.314.
A double by Jose Pagan off
right handcr Dave Giusti 2-3
who got the win, accounted
for the olher tally.

Torre Playing Second Fiddle
By DICK JOYCE
New York -J6TO- Joe Torre,
who at the tender age of 20
became the Milwaukee Brav
es' regular catcher, is playing
second fiddle these days - but
that's because it's to the best
backstop in the National
league.
"Del Crandall is the No. 1
catcher in the league," says
Braves' manager Birdie Teb
bctts. "Otherwi.oe, Torre
would be right in there."
That's the way Torre fig
ures it too.
"I sure miss playing regu
lar," said the husky, dark
skinned Torre, who batted a
respectable .276 with 10 home
runs and 42 runs-batted-ln in
113 games as a rookie last sea
son after being rushed up
from Louisville to replace the
injured Crandall.
Would he rather be playing
every day in the minors?
"Definitely not," he an-
siPaDMirs
swered. "I'm learning a lot
just by sitting on the bench
and I do get into my share of
games. I've proved that I
could make it in the big
leagues and I want to stay
here."
SIGNS WITH NY
Portland- (UPD -Richie Voss,
Wilson High school pitcher,
has signed a New York Yan
kee contract and will report
to Harlan, Ky., of the Class C
