'J h '4: MTS10UMCE D0D6EBS 8-3 McCovoy Keeps Hex On Drysdale United Press International Every night Juit before he goes to sleep, Willie Mc Covey says prayer thet nothing happen to Don Dry dale. If it ever doei, McCovey will automatically lose his No. 1 meal ticket In the Na tional league. The big San Francisco first baseman owns a fantastic .468 lifetime batting avrrage against Drysdale and while most rival batters shudder when they see the Los Ange les right-hander warming up, McCovey can t wait to grao a bat That's how It was Wednes day, too, when Willie teed off for a two-run homer In the first inning against Drys dale to start the Giants to an 6-3 victory over the Dodgers before a day-time crowd of 41.384 at San Francisco. It was the 14th homer of the season for McCovey, who has hit nine during his career off Drysdale. Marlchal Wins 11th Juan Marlchal, making his first start since his no-hitter against Houston last Satur day night, got his 11th victory in 14 decisions although Billy Pierce took over for him in the eighth after Ron Fairly's homer cut the Giants lead to 6-3. Chuck Hiller had a two- run homer for the Giants in the bottom of the eighth. Wll lie Davis also hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers in the fourth. The victory kept the second-place Giants within a half-game of the pace-setting St. Louis Cardinals, who downed the New York Mets for the 10th time In 13 meet ing this season, 9-4. In other National League contests, the Chicago Cubs drubbed the Houston Colts 9-1, the Pittsburgh Pirates mauled the Milwaukee Braves 8-2, and the Cincin nati Reds beat the Philadel phia Phillies 6-8 in 10 innings. Knocks In Five Bill White ruined the Mets by driving in five runs for the Cards with a grand slam homer and a double. White's 12th homer of the season off loser Trscy Slallard In the fourth overcame a 3-2 Cardi nal deficit. Reliever Ed Bau ta scored his third victory. Ernie Banks raised his ca reer total of runs batted in to 1,003 when he connected for his 15th homer of the sea son and two singles In the Cubs' victory ove the Colts. Earl Francis of the Pirates helped himself to his third victory by driving in three runs against the Braves w'th a double and two singles. Hank Aaron's 20th homer and Mack Jones' second ac counted for Milwaukee's two runs. ( Leo Cardenas' single with two out and the bases full in the 10th broke up a tie be tween the Reds and Phils that had existed since the sixth Inning when Don De meter hit his second solo ho mer of the game.

Memorial Field, White City -Two walks and a groundout, a double and an error and another base on balls and a pair of singles. Those were in gredients of the runmaking.

He struck out batters nine times and did not walk a man. Po tential harm from tho only Medford error was wiped out by a pickoff play which also nipped the Cheney team s best scoring bid.

Gems Comal Hare ; On Friday evening Mcdford will bid for a share of the division lead. It wil host the Tri-Clty Gems, new entry In the league this year.

League Leaders Jones and Alvarez smacked the other hits for Central Point. Edmonds whacked two safe blows for Medford, but was doubled off first base in a fly ball In the fifth inning. Calhoun clubbed the other safety. Central Point pitcher Wayne Clay walked five and fanned five In a five-hitter. Hard hit balls were the rule In a rapid-fire game that required Just over lvi hours to play, Tom Barker of Mcd ford and Alvarez of Central Point smashed balls to deep ccnlurdcld which looked like sure hits only to see rival outfielders Neathamer and Nell Rlvcnburg go back and snare them. A fly ball by Rivenburg which looked like it might drop in for a hit was snugged in short right center field by second baseman Cal houn. Howard Tomlinson, from the 1963 Crater high team, Joined the Studs this week and played first base lust night.

Yaz is ruining the Tigers single-handedly, a fact Drcs sen has become painfully aware of even though he has managed them in only two games. The tailspinning Tigers have dropped both those games, extending their losing streak to nine games, and you can bet all the beans in Boston that Charley is going to have a heart-to-heart talk with his pitchers before they face the Red Sox again today. Most of the conversation will center around Yastrzem ski.'who ruined Dressen's de but by driving in two runs on two hits Tuesday night and really went to town Wednesday night with two homers, three hits and four RBI's in Boston's 9-2 victory over Detroit. Both of Yaz homers trav eled nearly 400 feet, his first coming in the fifth Inning I.INKSCOItKS: American League (1st game) Baltimore 000 100 201 ft 1 Cleveland . 400 000 0015 8 0 Barber, Miller (7l and Lau.
