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

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-

of the first-place San Francis
co Giants, who were beaten
by the surprising Chicago
Cubs, 6-1.
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.

season to reach nine victo
ries.
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

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-

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.
