Don Drysdale, Purkey Threaten Modern Club Pitching Records By FRED DOWN Maybe it is a hitter's game but you can't prove it by Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Bob Purkey ol the Cincinnati Reds, who are threatening modern club pitching records of their re spective teams. Drysdale, the free-wheeling right-hander who is doing "extra duty" since the Dod gers lost the services of the ailing Sandy Koufax, scored his 18th victory of the season Wednesday night in Los Ange les' 5-2 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. Purkey, a World Series hero in defeat last autumn, gained his 16th triumph as the Reds stretched their long est winning streak of the sea son to eight games with a 13-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. IS Starts Left With at least 15 more start ing assignments left to each this season, Drysdale is a threat to equal or surpass the modern Dodger club mark of 29 victories in a season set by Joe McGinnity in 1900 while Purkey is in a strong position to top the Reds' club mark of 27, which is shared by Adolph Luque and Bucky Walters. Drysdale has lost only four games and Purkey has suffer ed only three losses. Drysdale needed the lale Inning help of Ron Perranoski and Ed Roebuck plus a 14-hit attack that included a triple and homer by Msury Wills, three hits by Willie Davis and a triple by Frank Howard. Drysdale yielded eight hits in seven innings, including a tixth-inning homer by Stan SECTION D Medford, SFdDIETrS MEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1962 Yogi Berra Named To All-Star Team Boston - flIPD - Yogi Berra, whose 1959 homer helped the American league to its last All-Star game victory, heads for additional players named for next Monday's second All-Star game. American All-Star Manager Ralph Houk of New York made Berra one of his choices while planning a break through of National league domination in recent All-Star competition. The Nationals, once far in arrears of the American leaguers in the All Star won-lost records, have won four and tied one in the last five meetings. Joining Berra, named for the 14th successive season, were Boston first baseman Pete Runnels, the current American league batting lead er, and pitchers Jim Kaat of Minnesota and Ken McBride of Los Angeles. Houk also repeated a first game move in which Balti more pitcher Milt Pappas re placed ailing teammate Hoyt Wilhelm on the American league pitching staff. To make room for the fourth additional player, Houk was forced to drop Boston pitcher Bill Monbouquette from his first game mound staff. Under the rules, the All Star manager may add only three players for the second game but is permitted to make changes in his pitching and reserve choices. The remainder of the Amer ican league squad will be the same which lost a 3-1 decision to the Nationals two weeks ago at Washington. The Na lional win pulled the league to within one victory of tying the American league's once riominant 16 victories in AU Star competition. Cincinnati -(UPH- Art Ma haffey, whose 13 victories with the seventh-place Phila delphia Phillies stamp him as one of the majors' brightest young pitchers, and three top sluggers were named today to the National league squad for the season's second All-Star game in Chicago, July 30. Mahaffey was named to re place the ailing Sandy Kou fax of the Los Angeles Dodg ers while outfielders Frank Bobinson of the Cincinnati Beds and Billy Williams of the Chicago Cubs and Milwau kee third baseman Eddie Mathews were added to the squad which beat the Ameri can League All-Stars, 3-1, in the first All-Star game at Washington, July 9. Both the NL and AL squads will hac 28 players for the second meeting of the game's top tars, Manager Fred Hutchinson also named managers Birdie Tebbetts of the Braves and Harry Craft of the Houston Colts to replace first-game roaches Casey Stengel of t.? New York Mets and Juhnffy Musial which enabled the 41-year-old Cardinal star to set a lifetime NL mark of 1,862 runs batted in. Purkey allowed two homers by Smoky Burgess but was backed by a 21-hit attack that included four hits by Frank Robinson and three each by Eddie Kasko, Don Blasin game, Jerry Lynch and Leo Cardenas. The Reds clinched it with a five-run eighth-inning rally. The San Francisco Giants downed the Houston Colts, 3-2, the Milwaukee Braves whipped the New York Mets, 11-5, and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Philadel p h i a Phillies, 5-2, in the other NL action. The Los Angeles Angels moved to within 2'i games of the American league lead when they beat the Baltimore Orioles, 5-0, and the New York Yankees lost to the Bos ton Red Sox, 4-2, before scor ing a 6-4 victory. The Minne sota Twins nipped the Detroit Tigers, 7-6, the Washington Senators edged the Chicago White Sox, 4-3, and the Kans as City Athletics shaded the Cleveland Indians, 5-4.

I ; Sandy Koufax To Be Permitted To Suit Up Friday Los Angeles - IUPII - The Los Angeles Dodger pennant drive jumped a few points today with word that injured Sandy Koufax will be permitted to suit up with the club Friday but the strikeout ace won't be allowed to throw until early August.
