A case in point today is Ron Fairly, 24-year old Geor gian, who has bounced around between outfield and first base the last two years but who almost always was some where for Alston. He's short on glamour but the thing Al ston likes about him is that he's long on base hits. Fairly was hitting only .200 after 10 games this season but he's collected 11 hits in his last 24 at bats for a .458 average and it's no coinci dence that the Dodgers seem to be straightening away with three straight victories and five wins in their last six games. Fairly drove in four runs with a homer, double and single Thursday night as the Dodgers downed the Cincin nati Reds 7-1 to give ex-New York Met righthander R. L. Miller (1-12 in 1962) his sec ond victory of the season. Giants Belt Cards The San Francisco Giants whipped the St. Louis Cardin als 8-4. the Houston Colts de feated the Milwaukee Braves 7-5 and the New York Mets beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2, in Thursday's other National League action. John Roseboro and Willie Davis joined Fairly in hit. ting homers to help hand 21 game winner Joey Jay of the Reds his fourth consecutive loss of 1963. Miller, the hard luck pitcher of the hardluck Mets last season, went the distance with a five-hitter and lowered his earned run aver age to 1.14. His two victories equal his entire total for the 1961 and 1962 seasons. Bailey Drives In Three Ed Bailey drove in three runs with a homer and a single and Orlando Cepeda knocked in a pair with a hom er and a double to lead the Giants' 10-hit attack. Bob Bolin, who pitched 4 2-3 in nings in relief of Billy O'Dell before retiring in the face of a ninth-inning Cardinal rally, received credit for his first victory. The win put the Gi ants in a tie with the Cardin als for first place in the NX. Triples by Ernie Fazio and Rusty Staub were the big blows of a five-run seventh inning rally that gave Hou ston's Don Nottebart his third win without a loss. Don Mc- Mahon finished up for the Colts the third straight time he has preserved a win for Nottebart. Bob Aspromonte and Joe Torre homered for the Braves. The stardust-touched Mets won their sixth game in seven tries with the aid of Roger Craig's seven-hit pitching and the slugging of Frank Thomas who drove in all three New York runs with a single and a homer. Dick Ellsworth, who yielded three runs and six hits in seven innings, suffer, ed the loss. LINK 8 CORKS: National League New York 100 002 000 .1 Chicaco 000 010 1002 Craic il-2t and Sherry. worth.

FRIDAY, APRIL 26. 1963 Steve Barber Hurls Orioles Into Lead; Athletics Trimmed United Press International If Steve Barber really can throw a strawberry through a locomotive why can't he pitch the Baltimore Orioles to the 1963 American league pen nant? Baltimore pitching coach Harry Brecheen insists the home-grown, 24-year-old left hander can do the former and a surprising number of AL ex perts think he might just also accomplish the latter. In any event, the 6-foot, 190 - pound left - hander, who was a week end pitcher for the Orioles in 1962 when he was a private in the Army, is the hottest pitcher in baseball right now. Strikes Out Seven Barber became the major leagues' first four-game win ner of 1963 Thursday night when he flame-threw a typi cal game-allowing seven hits and striking out seven-to give the Orioles a 3-2 10-inning tri umph over the Kansas City Athletics. The victory vaulted the Orioles into sole posses sion of first place and strengthened their claims to consideration as a season-long flag contender.

Al Smith's two-run homer had provided the Orioles with their other two runs. Kralick, who had lost his first three 1963 decisions al lowed only one Senator base runner to go as far as third and struck out five batters. Kralick tripled and scored the Twins' first run on a single by Lennie Green in the third inning. Rich Rollins homered for the Twins. Leon Wagner hit two hom ers and Ken Hunt and Bob Rou'gers one each to lead a 10- hit Los Angeles attack that brought relief pitcher Julio Navarro his second win. The loser was Hank Aguirre, who was tagged for five runs and six hits in three innings. NATIONAL LEAGUE W. I.

Trl-Clty 4 Balk Rule Amendment Desired Cincinnati 4UPD Early re turns today from National League President Warren Giles' poll of managers on en forcement of the controversial balk rule favored an imme diate amendment. Giles, admittedly in a quan dary over interpretation of the balk regulation, sent tele grams Thursday to his 10 man aRcrs. asking for their opinion. Some managers replied in vague, general terms. Others, such as Fred Hutchinson, Har ry Casey Stengel and Johnny Keane were adamant in their views for a change. "It's about time someone did something," Hutchinson, manager of tne Cincinnati Reds, said. "What I want to know is whether the Ameri can league is playing base ball? If so, why aren t they calling balks as we arc? Worse yet, only certain teams of um pires are calling balks ana others aren't. The result is confusing on all levels. All managers agreed the balk rule, however amended, should be uniformly observed in both leagues. The major league balk rule presently requires that a pitch er must bring his hands to a complete stop at his waist for one second betore pitching. Giles has instructed his um- I pircs ' this rule must be cn- torcea. I INI -I "111 American Leanur Los Angelei 012 300 0107 10 1 Detroit 000 030 0005 10 0 Lee, Nelson (5). Navarro (51 and Rodgers.
