The 29-year-old shortstop
for Oklahoma City forgot all
about his .169 average Thurs
day night as he clouted three
homers in pacing the 89ers
to a 12-2 burial of Hawaii,
His three circuit swats ac
counted for half of his team's
rum.
Mahoney now has hit five
four-baggers, more than he
swatted in each of the past
eight seasons while playing
with teams ranging from the
old San Francisco Seals to
Boston, Washington and
Cleveland of the American
league.

taken a fresh lease on baseball
life since the arrival of new

downed the little Giants 8-5.
Portland slipped into sec

games behind Tacoma.
Elsewhere, Ray Withrow

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 old Orioles would be
proud of Brooks Robinson.
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. ,

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.
