GIANTS' PENNANT HOPES SURGE By MILTON HICHMAN UPI Sporti Writer Suddenly, the San Francis co Giants look better than a million dollars again all be cause a pair of money players Juan Marichal and Willie Mays made the Los Ange les Dodgers look like small change. More than that, they re duced the Dodgers' lead to 2'.i games again by collaborat ing in a 3-0 victory Wednes day night that provided new pennant hope for the second place Giants. Manager Alvin Dark insist ed before this series that his Giants would have to win three out of four to stay alive. They've taken two out of three so far and get their last crack of the season at the Dodgers tonight. . Mays was his usual magnif icent self as he banged out three of the Giants' nine hits and drove in two of their runs with a pair of resounding doubles. . And Marichal, who gained his 18th victory, permitted only four singles before wrenching his right ankle while fielding Willie Davis' grounder in the sixth. Bob Bolin took over in the seventh and held the Dodgers score less on two hits the rest of the way. No Bones. Broken X-rays taken of Marichal's ankle after the game disclosed that no bones were broken. In other National league ac tivity, the Cincinnati Reds climbed to within five games of first place by sweeping a pair from the Chicago Cubs, 7-5 in 10 innings and 10-3, the Milwaukee Braves blank ed the St. Louis Cardinals, 1-0, and the Houston Colts nipped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-3, in the only other sched uled games. The Minnesota Twins miss ed an excellent opportunity to gain ground on the rained out first-place Yankees in the American league when they won the opener of a twin bill against Washington, 9-7, in 11 innings, but dropped the night cap, 3-0. The Chicago White Sox nipped the Cleveland In dians, 2-1, the Detroit Tigers took two from the Baltimore Orioles, 5-2 and 6-0, and the Boston Red Sox crushed the Kansas City A's, 12-4. Hubb'i String Ends Rookie second baseman Ken Hubb's string of consecu tive errorless chances ended at 418 when he threw wildly on a double play ball in the eighth inning of the nightcap between the Cubs and Reds. Hubbs had eclipsed Bobby Doerr's major league record of 414 perfect chances in the opener, which the Reds won SECTION D PAGES 1 to 8 MEDFORDv i-JUTRIBUNE SIPdDmTS MEDKORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 1962 . v,, ; v ; V E m s . j . - lafiisiarrli SLOW THIS TIME Maury Wills, Los Angeles Dodger base stealing ace, was a little slow last night as the San Francisco Giants' pitcher, Juan Marichal caught him and threw to first baseman Orlando Cepeda (30).
