The first place Los Angeles
Dodgers can blow the pen
nant again perish forbid
but only if they prove to be
twice as bad as they were
last year.
The whole thing boils down
to a simple case of mathe
matics. By out-slugging the St.
Louis Cardinals, 10-7, for
their fourth straight victory
Thursday night, the Dodgers
not only successfully got over
the traditional Fourth of
July hurdle but also increas
ed their National league lead
to 2V4 games.
Exactly a year ago, they
led by games but still
lost the pennant to the Gi
ants after a memorable three
game playoff.
If nothing else, the Dodg
ers have tradition on their
side. The team leading the
NL on July 5 has won the
pennant 60 per cent of the
time from 1800 tnrougn ihoz.
On the other side of the coin,
. however, is the haunting rec-
ollection of last year's collapse
by the July 5lh leader.
That didn't seem to bother
the Dodgers a bit Thursday
night as they routed Ernie
Broglio during an eight run
rally in the sixth Inning to
erase a 4-Z deficit. HooKie
third baseman Ken McMullen
touched off the fireworks
with a grand slam homer and
Jim Gilliam's two-run double
plus Willie Davis' two-run
triple completed the carnage.
Roebuck The Winner
Ed Roebuck, the third
Dodger pitcher, was the win
ner although he had to have
help from Ron Berranoski
after the Cardinals raked him
for four runs.
In other NL action, the
Houston 'Colts bowled over
the Cincinnati Reds twice,
5-2 and 6-2; the Chicago Cubs
swept a twin bill from the
New York Mets, 2-1 and 3-0;
Philadelphia defeated Pitts
burgh twice, 1-0. in 10 in
nings and 9-1, and Milwaukee
beat San Francisco, 6-3.
Rusty Staub's two-run hom
er sparked the Colts to their
opening game victory over
the Reds and Jim Campbell's
grand slam homer in the

McKinley
Champ at
Wimbledon
By ROBERT MUSEL
UPI Sporls Writer
Wimbledon, England - Itll'Il-
Chuck McKinley of San An
tonio, Tex., won America's
first Wimbledon men's sing
les tennis championship In
eight years today when he
defented Fred Stolle or Aus
tralia, 9-7, 6-1, 6-4.
In addition to winning the
world s nioKl covelcd tennis
prize, the 22-yenr-old McKin
ley also put himself in posi
tion for a $100,000 profes
sional offer.
McKinley, who Is Ameri
ca's top-ranked player and
was seeded fourth here, Is
the first Yank to win the
men's crown since Tony Tra-
bcrt In 11)55.
Trabert, now president of
the International Professional
Tennis Players Association,
was at Wimbledon throughout
the tournament and said he
would talk terms with McKin
ley as soon as the final was
over.
The 5-foot-8, 155 - pound
McKinley, at times short on
stamina, achieved the re
markable I'cat of winning his
seven tournament matches
without the loss of a single
set.
With Billic Jean Moffill of
Long Beach, Calif., pitted
against Australia's Margaret
Smith In Saturday's women's
final, the U. S. faces an op.
porti1 'ty to sweep both Wim
bledon singles crowns.
Minnesota Vikings
Will Open Up More
Portland - It seems a bit In
congruous for a pro football
coach to say, "We're going to
open up a little bit this year,"
what with the game's chief
appeal being Its spectacular
and wide-open style.
Still Norm Van nrocklln,
who directs the Minnesota
Vikings, has an excellent
point as he plans tactics for
a slepped-up offense: ,
"Our men have played to
gether long enough now (I he
Vlks have been In the NFL
two years) so that we can be
a little cute. We'll add some
things to our offense to make
the opposition worry more."
"We have a sort of score-from-
70- yards -out offense,"
Van Brocklln once quipped.
This year he hopes to make II
more consistent.
The Vikings will perform in
Portland Aug. 10 against the
San Francisco 4Dcrs In the
first of two pro games, the
Los Angeles Rams and Dal
las Cowboys following two
weeks later, Aug. 24 .

ures to be mostly downhill
for the Yankees with a fat
414 game lead and Mickey
Mantle due back in a week
or so.
Houk Is getting a little coy
about any pennant talk and
that's usually the tipoff on
any manager who is begin
ning to think about which
pitcher he will use in the
first game of the World
Series.
"Right now," Houk' says,
"I'm more concerned about
which pitcher I'll start in
Tuesday's All-Star game."
One pitcher who definitely
will not start is Yankee south
paw Whitey Ford, who wasn't
chosen to the American
league All-Star team by Houk.
Ford could beef if he want
ed to in view of the fact his
13-3 record makes him the
top winner in the league. But
he's just as happy to watch
the All-Star game on tele
vision. Whitey not only struck out
12 and won his ninth in a
row by beating the Chicago
White Sox, 9-1, in Thursday's
opener but he also became
the pitcher with the highest
winning percentage In base
ball history.
Ford's six-hit triumph over
the White Sox, who snapped
the Yankees' seven-game win
ning streak by taking the
nightcap, 4-2, gave him a life
time record of 118 victories
against 74 defeats for a .718
percentage. He thus surpassed
ex-Yankee Spud Chandlers
.717 mark among pitchers
with 100 or more victories.
The only run off Ford in
the opener was Floyd Robin
son's ninth inning homer but
by that time the Yanks had
the game wrapped up, thanks
to Elston Howard's 16th hom
er and Roger Maris' 18th.
Juan Pizarro scored his
10th victory in the nightcap
although he needed Hoyt Wil
helm's help in the seventh.
Nellie Fox's two-run homer in
the sixth off loser Bill Staf
ford proved to be the winning
margin.
Elsewhere in the American
league, Detroit won its first

doubleheader of the year with
a 5-3 and 3-1 sweep of Minne
sota; Cleveland also took two
from Boston, 4-3 in 14 in
nings and 7-5; Washington
beat Kansas City two times,
2-1 and 3-2, and Baltimore
defeated Los Angeles, 7-4, in
a single contest.
The Tigers' two victories
over the Twins gave them
their longest winning streak
of the season - three games.
Phil Regan lasted only 6 13
innings in the opener, during
which he was rocked for hom
ers by John Goryl and Jim
Hall, but still emerged with
his fifth victory. Hank Agu
irre evened his record at 7-7
with a six-hitter in the night
cap. Lee Stange (2-1) and Jim
Kaat (8-7) were the losers.
Jerry Kindall homered in
the 14th inning off Hal Kol
stad to lead the Indians to
their opening game triumph
over the Red Sox and then
socked a two-run homer off
Chet Nichols during a four
run sixth Inning rally that
won the nightcap.
Early Wynn failed in his
sixth try for his 300th vic
tory when he had to leave
the opener in the seventh in
ning with a stiff shoulder.
He was leading 1-0 at the
time on Fred Whitfield's
fourth inning homer and al
though Whitfield connected
again in the eighth, Boston
tied the score at 3-all in the
ninth. Gary Bell (4-5) and Jim
Grant (5-8) were the winning
pitchers.
Reliever John Wyatt of the
A's balked in the winning
run with the bases full in the
eighth inning to give the Sen
ators their opening game vic
tory and then walked in the
winning run with the bases
full in the seventh inning of
the nightcap. Moe Drabowsky
and Diego Segui, however,
were charged with the losses.
Tom Cheney (8-S) and Claude
Osteen (2 6) were credited
with the victories.
Reliever West Stock of the
Orioles won his sixth straight
without a defeat by blanking
the Angels on three hits over
the last six innings. Jim Gen
tile's double with the bases
full highlighted a three-run
fifth inning outburst that
brought Baltimore from be
hind. Bob Turley hit his first
homer of the year but still
suffered his sixth loss in eight
decisions.
