Advancing from first on a hit by Tommy Steve Barber Fast-Balls Orioles Into 1st Spot in American Loop B 5 Aaron, Dillard tried to score but changed his mind and made It back safely to base. The Braves won over the Mcts In New York, 3-2. (UPI) By FRED DOWN UPI Sport Writor A slight twitch in Steve Barber's left shoulder ex plains today why the Sew York Yankees have a very large pain in the neck. A 24-year-old left hander who can throw a baseball through the side of a barn. Barber felt the twitch about three weeks ago. He inform ed Baltimore Oriole manager Tommy Hitchcock then and there that he would rely henceforth on his fast ball The six - foot, 190 pound Barber couldn't have caused more grief among American league hitters if he had an nounced that he was going to fire 50-calibre dum-dum bul lets out of a machine gun at them. Because Steve's fast ball is just about all any pitcher needs - as evidence his 9-4 record that makes him the first AL pitcher of the WILLS RETURNS, DODGERS WIN By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Maury Wills is off and run ning again and it's no coin cidence that the Los Angeles Dodgers are back in the win column again. The National League's most valuable player of 1962 was sidelined two weeks ago with a toe ailment that made the Dodgers hurt all over to the tune of eight losses in 12 games, including five in a row up to Tuesday night. Then, the man who set an all-time major league record of 104 stolen bases in one sea son returned to action. His chances of challenging his own record are gone for this season, but he showed in his first game that he has a more important quality! the ability to make the Dodgers win. The end of the Dodgers' five-Eame losing streak came with a 2-1 victory over , the Houston Colts and the "odd run" was Wills' run scored in the third inning when he singled, stole second and tal lied on a single by Ron Fair ly. Wills also scored the Dodg ers' other run when he walk ed in the first inning, went to third on Junior Gilliam's double and tallied on a wild pitch by Dick Drott. Bob Miller pitched five-hit ball for eight innings to win his fourth game with the ninth-inning relief aid of Ron Perranoski as the Dodgers ad- STANDINGS I'nlttd Press InternUonal NATIONAL LEAGUE W.

The Milwaukee Braves ral lied after 22 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings for three runs in the ninth inning to beat the New York Mets, 3-2, in the only other NL game. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh were rained out. The Dodger victory was a typical "Wills win" because the erratic-hitting Los An geles club was held to three hits in seven innings by Drott. It was the old story of the light-hitting team needing something extra and the 1962 story of Wills' speed producing that something ex tra. The Cubs scored their eighth victory in their last 10 games as Bob Buhl pitched a five-hitter against the Giants for his fifth win of the sea- son. Billy O Dell, who had won eight straight games, suf fered his first defeat against 10-hit Cub attack led by Ron Santo and Ernie Banks with three hits each. Relief pitcher Galen Cisco walked in the tying run and forced in the winning run when he hit pinch-hitter Mack Jones with a pitched ball to present the Braves with their win over the Mets. Carlton Willcy, ex-Brave, had shut out the Milwaukee swingers with two hits until the ninth. Relief pitcher Claude Ray mond notched his fourth win for Milwaukee while the loss was Willey'8 fifth against four wins.

A crowd of 37,137 in Bal timore saw Barber movo the Orioles Into first place Tues day night with a 3-1 victory over the Yankees. 'I haven't thrown a curve in four games," said barber after the game. "I think that's what was bothering my shoul der. Anyway, I never did have a good curve ball." Equals '62 Mark Barber's ninth win enabled him to equal his entire total of 1962, part of which he spent in the Army, and made him a leading candidate to become a 20-game winner this season. That would make him the first 20-game winner in modern Baltimore baseball history. Barber struck out six and walked three in 8 23 innings before Dick Hall emerged from the bullpen to retire Elston Howard for the final out. Johnny Powell's two-run fifth-inning homer was the big blow of the Orioles' at tack on Ralph Terry (6-5) and Mickey Mantle homered for the Yankees. The win snap ped an Oriole five - game los ing streak. The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Chicago White Sox, 1-0, the Cleveland In dlans downed the Detroit Ti gers, 6-4, the Washington Sen ators shaded the Boston Red Sox, 1-0, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Athletics, 5-0, In other AL games. Hurls Three-Hitter Dan Ostnski pitched a three hitter and Lee Thomas singled home Felix Torres with the only run of the game in the second inning as the Angels dealt the White Sox a loss that prevented them from sharing first place. It was the fourth win in five de cisions for Osiuski while Gary Peters suffered his third loss against the same number of victories. Pinch hitter Mike De La Hoi' two-run homer was the Base Running Irks Manager Los Angeles -ll Pt- Manager Bill Rigney was happy today with one of his pitchers but was mighty unhappy with two of his base-runners. The Los Angeles boss gave pitcher Dan Osinski a pat on the back for his three-hit 1-0 win over the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night. But Rigncy was fuming In the dressing room after the game about the base-running of Bob Perry in the eighth in ning when the Angels got three hits off Chicago relief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm and failed to score an insurance run for Osinski. Perry ran for Leon Wagner who had singled to right field with two out and the bases empty. Felix Torres looped a double to right and Perry ran through third base coach Del Rice's stop sign and was tugged out at the plate. Earlier in the same inning, Albic Pearson beat out a bunt down the first baseline, went to second on Jim Fregosi's sac rifice, and then let himself get picked off by catcher J, C. Martin. big blow of a five-run seventh-inning rally that gave Cleveland's Jerry Walker his third win of the year. Joe Adcock also homered for the Indians, who landed Hank Aguirre his fifth defeat against four wins. Tom Cheney turned in a five-hitter embellished with six strikeouts to win his fifth game on the wings of Don Lock's fourth homer in as many games a sixth-inning poke off Boston's Earl Wil son. It was the third straight win for the Senators and snapped Cheney's personal six-game losing skein. Bob Allison connected for his 14th homer of the year with two mates aboard and Enrl Battey also homered for the Twins as Jim Perry went the distance tor his fourth triumph. Allison's 380-foot smash, . which gave him the AL lead, came in the third inning after singles by Vic Power and Harmon Kille- brcw.

SF's Alou Fans On 4-2 Pitch Chicago -(UPD- Defeat as it must come to all men has come to pitcher Billy O'Dell of the San Francisco Giants. The Giants, who battled the Chicago Cubs in a big twinbill today, rolled over and played dead before vet eran Bob Buhl of the Chicago club Tuesday. The defeat tightened up the National League chase as idle St. Louis moved to within a game and a half of the Giants and victorious Chicago and Los Angeles 'crept to within three games of manager Al vin Dark's troops. Another Weird On Tuesday's game was anoth er of those weird ones which have dotted the current road trip. Felipe Alou struck out on a 4-2 pitch, courtesy of Jocko Conlan, who lost track of the count. Everyone in the park knew it was 3-und-2 when Conlan stated it was 2-and-2 and refused to change his mind. Buhl then served up another bill to Alou before striking him out. "Conlan blew It," said Dark later, "but what can you do about a thing like that?" O'Dell was 8-0 going Into the contest and was supposed to face Larry Jackson of the Cubs. But Jackson gave way to Buhl because of a blister on his pitching hand. Jackson will square off against Juan Marichal here Thursday in a bottle of flame-throwers.
