United Prtts International Dust off that comeback of the year award and mail it special delivery to Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers. There's a long way to go until season's end but it's clear that Koufax and the award go together like ham and eggs - or like guts and skill. A little less than a year ago Koufax' career was en dangered by a finger ailment. He didn't win a game for the Dodgers over the second half of the 1962 National league season and he went to spring training this season as one of the biggest question marks in major league base ball. It s taken him Just two months to demonstrate that he's shaken off the effects of the ailment and is again one of the great pitchers of baseball. The blinding speedballer turned in his fifth shutout and ninth victory of the sea son Thursday night when he firebalied the Dodgers to a 3-0 win over the Houston Colts thai enabled Los An geles to retain first place by two percentage points. Kou fax struck out 10 and walked only two behind a nine-hit at tack that included two hits each by Tommy Davis and Wally Moon. Tied With O'Toolt Koufax' five shutouts tie him with Cincinnati's Jim O'Toole for the league lead and his 102 strikeouts in 107 innings leave him only two behind teammate Don Drys dale. Thursday night's game also marked the fifth time this season and the 45th time in his career that Koufax has struck out 10 or more men in a game. The San Francisco Giants shaded the Chicago Cubs 2-1, the Cincinnati Reda downed the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in other NL action. New York at Milwaukee was rain ed out. Willie Mays homered in the bottom of the 10th inning to break up a brilliant pitching duel between Billy 'O'Dell and Dick Ellsworth and give O'Dell his ninth win of the season against two losses. Home runs by Leo Car denas and Gordon Coleman neipea me Hear, overcome a 2-0 deficit and move into fourth place. John Tsitourls pitched a five hitter and struck out six to win his sec ond game while) Don Ceud- well suffered his eighth de feat. Ernie Brogllo won his seventh game for the Cardi- nals in a game shortened to six innings by rain. Gene Oliver homered for the Car dinals and Earl Averill and Roy Sievers hit homers for the Phillies.

The Orioles, circa 1890 1899, wrote the text book on baseball behavior: When the catcher suffers a broken knuckle he rubs it in the dirt and goes on catching; when a pitcher has a sore arm he asks to pitch a doubleheader; when a batter is knocked down by a pitch he gets up and puts the slug on the pitcher. Robinson, 26, is a new Oriole but Uncle Wilbert Rob inson himself would be lead ing the cheers today for the "old Oriole" way in which Brooks picked himself out of the dirt Thursday night and delivered a two - run single that gave the Baltimore Orioles a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees. The bases were filled with Orioles and the Yankees held a 4-3 lead when Robinson batted against reliever Bill Kunkel in the seventh inning. Kunkel promptly sent Robin son sprawling in the dust of Yankee Stadium with a brush back pitch. Delivers Winning Hii Robinson's answer was to dig in for the next pitch and deliver the two-run blow that snapped the Orioles' five game losing streak and knock ed the Yankees out of first place in the American league. Left-hander Steve Barber, aided by Dick Hall's three innings of one-hit relief, be came the AL's first 10-game winner of the season. Jerry Adair of the Orioles and El ston Howard of the Yankees hit homers. The Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3, the Minnesota Twins 'defeated the Kansas City Athletics 6-3, and the Boston Red Sox scored a 7-5 win over the Washington Senators in other AL action. Win Seventh Straight' The Indians swept to their seventh straight victory with the -aid of a two-run homer by Willie Kirkland. Jack Kralick yielded 10 hits but struck out eight and walked only one in registering his sixth win. Al Kaline, continuing his bid for a triple crown, had a homer and two singles, and now leads the AL with a .352 average and 48 runs batted in, in addition to tying for the league lead with 15 hom ers. Bernie Allen, a iub-.200-hitter most of the season, hit two homers to lead a 13-bit Minnesota attack. Jim Perry, aided by Jim Katt in the ninth, increased his season record to 5-4 while Moe Dra bowsky suffered the defeat. Frank Malzone's hree run homer and Jack Lamabe's one-hit three inning relief pitching enabled the Red Sox to sweep their two game series with - the last place Senators. , LINESCORES: American League Washington .110 020 100 3 7 2 Boston 015 000 Olx 7 2 Duckworth.

Winner Arizonans Can Wrap Up Title Omaha, Neb.-OIPD-Arizbna's Wildcats, still shaking their heads about the mammoth lead that almost got away Thursday night, can wrap up the 1963 collegiate baseball championship tonight by beat ing Southern California. If Southern Cal wins, the NCAA national tournament would be extended until Sat urday night. Arizona leaped to an 8-1 lead over Texas in the second inning and then had to sweat it out as the persistent Long horns kept chewing at the margin. Arizona - added two more runs, and it was a good thing because the final score was 10-8. The going was just as wild and wooly in the other semi final fame of the double-elimination tourney with Southern Cal demolishing Missouri's vaunted pitching for a 12-3 victory.
