Ed Roebuck Stars in Relief for Dodgers One-Time Castoff Has 8-0 Record By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sporii Writer The Los Angeles Dodgers committed a colossal blunder -and cheerfully admit it-in the case of reliever Ed Roe buck, who hasn't lost a game now in more than two years. Roebuck, a somewhat shop worn 31-year-old right-hander, ran his season record to 8-0 Thursday night when he was credited with an 8-3 vic tory over the Philadelphia Phillies that maintained the Dodgers' lead at 5'i games in the National league race. This is the same Roebuck whom the Dodger brass called "useless" when he came up with a sore arm and was unable to throw at all in 1958. In all fairness to the Dodg ers, Roebuck looked like he was all through four years ago. They gave him another chance in 1059 and when he still couldn't pitch, he was given his outright release after all other major league clubs refused to take him, even for the $1 waiver. Remained In Farms System Roebuck went back to the minors but chose to remain in the Dodgers' organization. It turned out to be a fortun ate decision for Los Angeles. Taking over for starter Pete Richerl Thursday night, Roebuck, who suffered his last defeat on Aug. 8. 1960, choked off a Philadelphia rally in the top of the seventh and became the pitcher of record when the Dodgers clinched the game with six runs in the bottom of the inning. Lee Walls' pinch triple off lorer Dennis Bennett tied the score at 3-all and Walls then scored the go-ahead run on Ted Savage's throwing error. Frank Howard connected for another triple with the bases full off reliever Jack Bald schun later in the same frame. Bennett, tagged with his eighth defeat in 12 decisions, had a 2-0 lead until Tommy Davis' 18th homer with one on tied the score in the sixth. Davis drove in three runs during the game and now has a total of 115. Red Increased Streak Cincinnati made it four in a row over Hourton, 7-3, San Francisco downed the New York Mets, 7-1, and the Mil waukee Braves blanked the Chicago Cubs, 1-0, in the only other NL games scheduled. In the American league, the Chicago White Sox snapped the Los Angeles An gels' four -game winning streak, 6-0, the Minnesota Twins cooled off the Kansas City A's, 12-10, the Detroit Tigers beat the Washington Senators, 8-5, and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Cleve land Indians, 4-0. Rain wash ed out the game between the Yankees and Orioles. Southpaw Jim O'Toole held Houston to seven hits in even ing his record at 12-12 for Cincinnati. Wally Post tripled home two runs off loser Hal Woodeshick in the first inning and Frank Rob inson hit hip 23rd homer in the third. The Colts broke a 38-lnning scoring drought with two unearned runs the fifth. Sanford Won 15th Jack Sanford registered his ninth straight victory and 15ih of the season with fourth. Jim 14th homer Second two-run three-hitter against the Mets. Catcher Tom Haller paced the Giants to victory with a three-run homer in the sixth and Orlando Cepeda belted his 23rd homer in the same frame. R. L. Miller absorbed his eighth defeat without a victory. Joe Adcock's 23rd homer of the year off Bob Buhl brought the Braves their tri umph over the Cubs. Tony Cloninger struck out 10 men but got into a jam in the ninth and Claude Raymond came on to preserve the shut out. Knuckleballer Eddie Fish er slowed down the Angels with a three hitter and Sherm Lollar gave him all the mar gin he needed when he put the White Sox ahead with a two-run double off loser Eli Grba in the Landis hit his in the sixth. Twint Tied for Rich Rollins two-run sin. gle in the ninth was the Twins' margin of victory over the Athletics. The vic tory moved the Twins into a second-place tie with the An gels, both of whom are live games in back of the Yankees. Kansas City kayoed starter Lee Stange during a six-run rally in the fourth to go ahead, 8-4, but Danny Pfister couldn't hold the lead. Bill Bruton drove in three runs with a pair of singles and also contributed three spectacular catches to pace the Tigers to victory over the Senators. Rookie Howie Koplitz won his third straight without a loss although he needed Sam Jones' help in the ninth. Chuck Hinton and Jim King each homered for the Senators. Bill (no-hit) Monbouquette limited the Indians to eight hits in becoming the second straight Red Sox pitcher to shut out the Tribe. Gene Con ley blanked Cleveland on four hits Wednesday night. The Red Sox scored all their runs off Barry Latman in the first inning on two errors, doubles by Ed Bressoud and Carl Yastrzemski, Frank Malzone's two-run single and a sacrifice fly. 1.1NESCORES: American Leacue Cleveland ... 000 000 0000 8 2 Boston 400 000 00X 4 7 0 Latman.

And the second place Giants were to get their first chance tonight with left hand er Billy O'Dell slated to face Dodger southpaw Johnny Po dres in the opener of another three-game "crucial." O'Dell has a 1-2 mark against L.A. this year while Podres is 1-1. "We must win five out of our remaining seven games League Leaders United Press International AMERICAN LEAGUE Player & Club G. AB R.

"And then, if we can move up to two games be hind L.A. with nine left on the schedule, I think that we will have the advantage." Dark figures it this way -in their last nine games, the Giants play eighth place Houston six times and the St. Louis Cardinals three. But the Dodgers must face the Cards six times during their final nine and Houston three. "The Cardinals have pitch ers who can shut you out, Dark said. "So we will have a chance if we are two games behind with nine to go." Giants Swept Under The Dodgers swept the Giants under Chavez Ravine in their last series, winning all three games and humili ating the visitors 11-1, in the finale. Since then, at least one ballplayer has said publicly that the Giants lost their de sire to win. That s the impression I re ceived when I talked to some of them," said RogeniCraig of the New York Mets Wednes day after he beat the Giants, 5-2. "There's a sort of lack adaiasical air among the play ers. I asked them if they were going to win the pennant and they said, 'Well, we can't seem to beat Los Angeles'." Craig, who used to handle the Giants fairly easily as a Dodger hurler, had the fig ures to back him up. Los An geles has beaten San Francis co eight times in 11 of the 18 game series this year. After this weekends con tests, the Giants must play the Dodgers four more times in Los Angeles where they have lost all five tilts so far his year. Without showing any trace of anger, Dark denied the charges of defeatism. "I don't think that our club is the type that lets down," he said. "And I'm not aware of any defeatism. This club has nev er been down since I've been here." STANDINGS United Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE W.
