1 . . Pennant Still in Sight As Giants Top Mets 9-1 By SCOTT BAILLIE UPI Sports Writer San Francisco-OM) - Juan MarichaJ, a big winner with the so-so San Francisco Gi ants served notice today that they still can win the pen nant. 'We're 8V& games behind Los Angeles but there still are a lot of games to be play ed," the smiling right hander said Tuesday night after hurl ing the Giants to a four-hit, 9-1, victory over the New York Mets. "And we're in much bet ter shape now than last year when we were four games back of the Dodgers in mid- September," he added. "We won that pennant and we have a good chance to win this one." The two teams meet in the second game of their three game series today, with Jack Sanford (9-11) attempting to make it three straight for the Giants. He opposes the Mets' Al Jackson (6-11). Marichal, with Willie Mays crashing two homers, rolled to his 16th win of the season Tuesday night, while luckless Roger Craig of the Mets was battered into the showers for this 15th straight loss.

The Giants got Marichal seven runs in the first two frames, three of them unearn ed tallies that came across during the first. An error by center fielder Joe Hicks, who had wrecked the Giants in New York six nights ago with a clutch hom er, let one unearned run across in the first and set up two others that tallied on Jim Davenport's -single.

Red Sox Give Turley A Try Boston - WPI) - The Boston Red Sox will try one time New York fireballer Bob Tur ley in a renewed bid to check the Yankees' threatened American league runaway. The Red Sox announced last night that they had signed the veteran Turley just a few hours after he was declared a free agent by Los Angeles. The 32 year - old righthand er was not claimed after be ing placed on the waiver list by the Angels three days ago. Turley was given his release after posting a 2-7 record in 19 appearances with Los An geles. Oddly, his two victo ries were shutouts, one and three-hitters, and he impres sed the Red Sox though los ing to them earlier this sea son. The indefinite status of vet eran Boston starter Gene Con- ley, who has been on the dis abled list for nearly a month, contributed to the Turley signing. . .

Yankee Runaway Continues New York - IUPT - The New York Yankees are running off with the American league pennant and those fellows with the footprints on their backs are the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels were run over by the romping, tromping Yankees for the second day in a row Tuesday, losing 7-0, with New York's substitute players doing most of the damage. A well-known frontliner, Whitey Ford, who has a re markable 15-3 pitching record this season - took the mound against the Angels today in the windup of their three game Yankee stadium' series. Righthander Don Lee, .4-5, drew the starting assignment for Los Angeles. It was a frustrating game for Bill Rigney's team Tues day night as ex-Dodger Stan Williams, who has had his troubles this season, blanked the Angels on four hits before a Los Angeles rally in the eighth. Then ex-Senator Steve Hamilton took over with the bases loaded and none out. He proceeded to strike out Leon Wagner, - Lee Thomas and Billy Moran to end the in ning. The Angels loaded the sacks again in the ninth with one out, but Hamilton showed he was up to the situation again by fanning Albie Pear son and getting Jim Fregosi to hit into a force play to end the game. Starter Paul Foytack kept the Yankees scoreless for the first three innings, but was tagged for a solo home run by Johnny Blanchard in the fourth inning. In the sixth, however, the Yankees ran away with six more runs. The six - run inning was punctuated by Blanchard's second home run of the game, tnis time with two men on base. Clete Boyer also homer ed, his 11th of the season. Blanchard, batting .225 going into the game, was filling in for the sidelined Roger Maris in right field. Third baseman Frank Kos tro, recently brought up from Hawaii, went 2-for-4 for the second straight night, but was not brought around by his teammates in either game. Los Angeles left 11 runners qn base Tuesday night,?' V League Leaders Bu United PressTnTeTnTnonaT NATIONAL LEAGUE Player Club C AB R M Pet. Groat.
