Roberts tried to reach third when Roberts Spoils Washington Managerial Debut of Hodges United Press International Robin Roberts always did have Gil Hodges' number. In the glory years for both, circa 1950 through 1955, Rob erts won 138 games for the Philadelphia Phillies and Hodges hit 204 home runs for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

It's a full decade later and Roberts is a 36-year-old pitch er hanging on with guile and savvy while Hodges is em barking on a new career as a major league manager. Starts Managerial Career Big Gil made his manager ial debut with the Washington Senators Thursday night and the wheel of fate ruled that Mr. Roberts would be on the mound for the rival Baltimore Orioles. The league, the cir cumstances and the players 4030 CADILLAC The darndest boat you ever saw is on display now ... at our store! Ken Retzer, Senators catcher, fumbled pitch from Jim Duckworth.' Retzer recovered in lime to throw to Marv Breeding at third. Umpire is Bob Stewart. Baltimore won 6-0. (UPI) were different but the result was pretty much the same Roberts topped Hodges by pitching the Orioles to a 6-0 victory over the Senators. "A couple of times I felt like taking a bat and going up to hit myself," Hodges con fessed after the game. "But I don't imagine it would have done any good." Roberts, 1962 comeback of the year player in the majors, started slowly this season but has been a major cog in the Orioles' drive of nine wins in their last 10 games which has carried them into a half-game lead in the American league. He's won three straight com plete games, allowing a total of only four runs and 11 hits. The Cincinnati Reds scored a 2-0 victory over the Milwau kee Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chica go Cubs 1-0 in Thursday's only other major league games. Strikes Out Seven Roberts faced only 29 men, struck out seven and didn't al low a runner past second base in posting his first shutout since entering the AL in mid 1962. Home runs by Al Smith and Jerry Adair paced an at tack which dealt Claude Os teon his fourth loss in a row. The Orioles have beaten the Senators six straight times this season and are 12-1 against left-handed pitching. Roberts' three victories against four losses this season give him a career record of 247 triumphs and 212 defeats. Jim OToole pitched a three hitter to raise his record to 7-3 with the Reds, who scored unearned runs in the fourth and ninth innings against Den ver Lemaster. Daryl Spencer doubled home the Reds' fourth-inning run and Ken Walters singled home their run in the ninth. Gene Oliver homered In the fifth inning to give Ernie Broglio the only run he need- ' ed to win his fifth game and j push the Cardinals into third I place in the National League, i The shutout - Broglio fanned five and walked two was the seventh by the Cardinal staff j this season and marked the , fifth time the Cubs were j whitewashed.

Pittsburgh Reacquires Jerry Lynch Milwaukee niPK-Jerry Lynch likes to quip that when he's tapped for pinch-hitting duty "I leave the dugout swing ing." With that in mind, the Pitts burgh Pirates reacquired the 32-year-old outfielder Thurs day in a straight swap for vet eran Bob Skinner, with whom he broke into the majors in 1954. The Pirates, with one of their weakest hitting teams in years, plucked Lynch from the Cincinnati Reds where the 32-year-old lefthander developed into one of baseball's most feared pinch-hitters. Lynch has cracked 13 home runs in the pinch, one short of the major league record held by George Crowe. Lynch has a season batting average of .250 on eight hits in 32 at bats. He has appeared as a pinch-hitter 13 times, connecting for three hits, two of them homers. Skinner, a regular with the Pirates for the past eight sea sons, was batting .270 this year with no home runs and eight runs batted in. He and Lynch joined Pittsburgh as rookies in 1954 but Lynch was farmed to Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League and drafted by the Reds. The Pirates, who open a three-game series with the Milwaukee Braves here to night, view Lynch as the an swer to their anemic offense. League Leaders United Press International AMhBICA.N LI.
