: C if A CROWDED Things got a bit crowded at third base at Los' Angeles yesterday when Frank Howard, left, of the Dodgers wound up on the same base with teammate Don Fairly, center in the sixth inning in game with Pittsburgh. It came about when How ard was caught off second base by Pirate Howard's Hitting Breaks Up Another Tilt for LA Dodgers; Single Scores Deciding Runs Los Angeles Slugger Fulfilling Destiny , By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer Rogers Hornsby . . , Al Sim mons . . . Jimmy Foxx . . . Hank Greenberg . . . and now aud the name of Frank How ard. Howard, the massive uos Angeles Dodgers outfielder, finally has learned the strike zone and is fulfilling his des tiny as the most feared right handed hi.ter in baseball. If there are any skeptics, he has a .486 hitting streak for the past 10 games to prove he's on his way. Howard broke up another ball game for the Dodgers Thursday night when he lined a bases-loaded seventh-inning single that drove home the deciding runs in a 5-3 vic tory over the Pittsburgh Pi rates. The victory preserved the Dodgers' four-game Na tional league lead, since the second-place San Francisco Giants edged the Chicago Cubs. 4-3. Raised Batting Average During his torrid 10-game streak, the six-foot-seven Howard has made 18 hits in 37 tries, including four doubles, a triple and five home runs. He has driven in 21 runs and raised his bat ting average 26 points to .320. And that's just about what Manager Walt Alston and the Dodger braintrust had ex pected of Howard once he overcame h 1 s perplexity about major league pitching. The Dodgers fell behind 0-2 in the early innings when Smoky Burgess hit a pair of Pittsburgh homers off Johnny Podres. Tommy Davis put the Dodgers back into the game with a two-run homer off Vernon Law and the Pi rates led 3-2 going into the seventh. A single and a walk off reliever Joe Gibbon brought in Roy Face, who promptly threw wildly to first on Jim Gilliams' bunt and the tying run came home. Face inten tionally walked Willie Davis and induced Tommy Davis to hit into a double play by way of home plate. Delivered Winning Single With two out and first base open, strategy dictated a walk to Ron Fairly, bringing up Howard. Big Frank delivered his two-run single and Larry Sherry blanked the Pirates In the last two innings to wrap up Podres' eighth vic tory.

Baltimore Fans Cheer For Robin Baltimore, Md. - H'PU - Fans of the Baltimore Orioles are used to rooting for a succes sion of young players, but their new favorite is 35 years old - pitcher Robin Roberts. The fans' loyalty to the for m e r Philadelphia Phillies' "Whiz Kid," who came here because nobody else wanted him, never was shown more clearly than in his 3-1, 11 inning loss to Minnesota this week. Don't tell Oriole fans Rob erts was the loser. Three times they gave the game veteran standing ovation. In the seventh inning he raced between his catcher and first baseman to catch Vic Power's pop bunt and threw across his body to second base man Jerry Adair to double Lennie Green off first. In the 10th inning when he struck out Bob Allison and Earl Battey with the potential win ning run on first base. Finally in the 11th inning when man ager Billy Hitchcock came out to remove him - a beaten pitcher - he got another ova tion. The Baltimore pitching staff is loaded with young fireball ers, who have already had starring years, but who have been bitter disappointments this season. The Phillie and New York Yankee castoff has only a modest 6-4 record but his batting support has been atrocious. The Oriole hitlers have scored 34 runs for him in the 104 innings he has worked in starting roles, or an average of only 2.94 runs per nine innings. His own earned run average is 2.52 or second best among American leaguers who will be eligible for the ERA title. How does Roberts react to it all? He's glad to be going good and appears matic about losses phleg- he about wins. Drysdale Seeks 20th Victory By ALEX KAHN Los Angeles-IUPll-Don Drys dale tonight goes for his 20th victory of the season and the honor of being the first Dodg er pitcher to reach the magic figure since the club moved to Los Angeles when he takes the mound against the Chi cago Cubs. The lanky righthander is enjoying the best season of his career with a 19-4 record and is riding a nine-game win ning streak. The Cubs an nounced that Carl Koonce, 9-3, was their starter in the first of four games at Dodger stadium ending Sunday with a doubleheader. The Dodgers split their two-game scries with the Pittsburgh Pirates by taking Thursday night's encounter, 5-3, thanks to Frank Howard's bases-loaded single in the seventh inning which scored a pair of runs. The Pirates loaded the bases with an intentional walk and Howard rapped a sharp single through the hole into centerfield to give the Dodgers their winning margin. The blow climaxed a wild inning in which the Dodgers twice loaded the bases, had two men erased on a double play and then capitalized on the Pirates' percentage move in reloading the bags before Howard came up. "I'd do the same thing again, " Manager Danny Mur taugh said after the game. "That was the proper move with two out regardless of the fact that it failed to work." Howard's big single, his second hit of the game, was the big blow and diverted at tention from the hitting of Pirates catcher Smoky Bur gess, who drove in all three Pittsburgh runs with homers and the two-run homer by Tommy Davis that put the Dodgers just a run behind after six innings.

McBride on July 21 pitched a 4-0 shutout victory over Cleveland, for his 10th straight victory and second straight game without a run. Bui a pulled muscle has kept him from hurling the past two weeks - and off the American league All-Star team after he earned a berth. McBride, it is hoped by all close to the Angels, will lend some staying power to the Los Angeles pitching corps. Los Angeles manager Bill Rigney has been using his bullpen with alarming regu. larity, and in the Angels' 5-4 series-closing triumph over Cleveland Thursday had to put in four reliefers. McBride 11-3 hasn't need ed much support this season. pitching six complete games -and four shutouts. Pitching for Baltimore this evening will be Milt Pappas. 9-6, who failed to hold an early lead in his last game against Los Angeles out on the West Coast.

Fowler was the third Angel pitcher used in the ninth, when Rigney - determined not to take any chances -was spending more time on the phone to the bullpen than a small-town switchboard op erator. Fowler recorded two outs in the inning after taking over for Jack Spring, who had taken over for Rync Duren, who had taken over for Dan Osinski, who had taken over for Bo Belinsky. Osinski received credit for his first victory as a major leaguer. He relieved Belinsky in the sixth after Bo gave up a homer and two walks. Ryne Duren replaced Osinski, who was lifted for a pinch hitter, and pitched until the ninth. Two Cleveland runs that al most tied things up had Rig ney bringing in Spring and Fowler.
