Cool .Ian Red Hot For LA Dodgers; Blasts Key Blow By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Jim Gilliam resents being called "Junior" and so his Los Angeles Dodgers team mates refer to him simply as "the cool man." No nickname could be more appropriate for a fellow who takes the world in stride. He's played in at least 144 games in every year he's been with the Dodgers since 1933, and yet every spring it seems he has to win his job all over again from some highly-touted newcomer. Comes the middle of a hot pennant race, however, and Gilliam is not only in the line up day in and day out but also delivers the clutch hits that win Important games. The kids who thought they had him beat out of a job in the spring read about 'em in the newspapers of minor league towns. The National league pen nant race is about as hot as it can get and so it's no sur prise that Gilliam is red-hot. The Dodgers have won four straight games and Gilliam has delivered the game-winning blow 't three of 'em, in cluding Wednesday night when his two-run eighth -inning double sparked Los Angeles to a 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The vic tory completed a Dodger sweep of a three-game series - the first time they won three in a row in Cincinnati since 1033. Wins Eighth Game Left-handed relief ace Ron Pcrranoski shut out the Reds for the last 2H innings to win his eighth game against two losses. Jim Maloney, seeking his 12th win, struck out 11 batters and went into the eighth inning with a 2-2 tie but a walk to Ferranoski and Gordie Coleman's wild throw on a sacrifice attempt set the stage for Gilliam s big blow. The victory enabled the Dodgers to remain a half game behind the first -place St. Louis Cardinals, who top ped the San Francisco Giants, 6-3. The' Houston Colts beat the Milwaukee Braves, 7-2, in 13 innings, the Philadel phia Phillies downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-2, and the New York Mets defeated the Chicago Cubs, 8-6, in other National league games. Boyar Pacts Cards Charlie James singled home George Altman with the win ning run for the Cardinals. Bobby Shantz pitched to only one batter but picked up his third win.

That's the way it was with us, until Dodge trucks helped us double our radius of operations to 50 miles. Since 1956 we've bought nothing but Dodges. Some are transit-mix units with six-yard, flywheel-driven mixen. Others are flatbeds that carry 540 cement blocks to a load. Figure those kind of loads in pounds, and you'll know what a great job they're doing for us, and very economi cally at that! L.W.Riney Co., Hannibal, Missouri Dodge trucks have had many improvements in the past year. Each one helps make them tougher, more economical than ever before. Example: a new, more powerful DodgePerkins diesel engine in four medium tonnage models. This engine has proved it can almost double fuel mileage in stop-and go city delivery service. Now it develops 131 gross horsepower, 284 Ibs.ft. gross ( torque. And remember, Job-Rated Dodge trucks are priced lower than most of competition, right in line with the rest.
