Muncey won the covet ed cup in 1956, 1957, 1961 and 1962.

Hodges' Comeback Defeated By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Gil Hodges' comeback plans have gone the way of all good New Years resolutions right down the drain. The Washington Senators are the ones responsible. Who would ever figure them to go on a tour - game winning streak? If the Yankees were on a streak like that, they'd hard ly even notice it, but it's dif ferent with the last - place Senators. For one thing, it pnunls their longest one of the season, and for another j it makes them feel there is j some hope ahead. ' ! The 39 - year - old Hodges j wasn't kidding about a come-1 back. He had been taking ; longer and longer batting ; practice sessions lately. ; 'We sure can use some base hits," said the Washing ton manager. Get Victory The Senators didn t exact ly break down the fences Fri day night but they did clip loser Dan Osinskl and Julio Navarro for nine hits in stretching their modest win ning streak to four games with a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Jim King's 14th home run gave Washington a 1-0 lead in the first inning, and after Los Angeles tied the score in the seventh, little Don Zim- mer singled home the tie- breaking run during a three run rally in the bottom of the frame. Don Rudolph, who has pitched some fine ball in los ing nine games so far, slopped the Angels on seven hits for his fourth win. Dcug Ford Birdies For Canadian Win Toronto. Ont.

It was the highest winining total since Pat Fletcher's 280 in 1954 and gave proof that the layout was one of the most difficult in Canadian Open history. Several players made a run at Ford in the pressure-packed final round and a gallery of 10,000 was sure it would be treated to a sudden death playoff. Crampton and Gei berger charged from behind and each tied with Ford at one point. Both trailed Ford by six strokes at the end of 54 holes. Crampton closed in with a five-under-front nine 31 while Geiberger d i s p 1 ayed his strength coming home. He birdied three holes and eag led another in the home stretch for a backside five under 30. His eagle came on the 455 yard par four 12th hole when he sank a 180-yard five iron shot. He had seven one-put holes and missed only two greens all day. Ford, whose last PGA tour was in the 1963 Eastern Open, had an unspectacular 32 putts although he three-putted only once.

Pod res Out Of All-Star Team Play By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Lefty Johnny Podres show ed three All-Star pitchers how it should be done, although he does not plan to be in Cleve land on Tuesday. The reason he won't be there is simple. He wasn't chosen to the National league AK-Star team by manager Al vin Dark. But he certainly looked as if he should have been Friday night when he beat one All Star pitcher and earned a richly deserved "well done" from two others in leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a two-hit 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Podres bested left-hander Jim O'Toole, one of eight pitchers chosen for the NL All-Star team by Dark. And he also bettered the two most recent performances of his All-Star teammates, Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale. Koufax blanked the Cardi nals on three hits last Wed nesday night and Drysdale also whitewashed St. Louis on five hits Tuesday night but Podres was sharper than both in pitching the Dodgers to their fifth straight victory while increasing their league lead to three games. Howard Homers Provided with the only run he needed when Frank How ard hammered his 13th homer in the seventh inning, Podres struck out four batters and did not walk a man en route to his sixth triumph.
