Dodgers Drown Out Pirates 6-0;
Podres Pitches Sixth Game Win
Br ALEX KAHN
UPI Sports Writer
Los Angeles - WTO - What a
whale of a difference a month
makes, pitcher Johnny Podres
grinned today as he rode the
crest of a six -game winning
streak, all in the month of
July.
Podres posted a 6-0 shutout
victory for the Los Angeles
Dodgers Tuesday night over
the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was
Podres fifth shutout and 10th
complete game of the season
and six wins in one month
Piersall
Confident
New York - HJPD-Outfielder
Jimmy Piersall says he's "sit
ting tight and waiting" for
another crack at a major
league job which he feels con
fident he'll get.
The colorful, 33-year-old
Piersall, who was placed on
waivers by the New York
Met! Monday, said Tuesday
night that he has a few con
tacts and believes he has "a
lot of good baseball left in
me."
If no team claims Piersall
within the 72-hour waiver pe
. rlod, he will be given his un
conditional release and be
free to make a deal for himself.
Milwaukee, Houston and
the Los Angeles Angels are
reported to be among the
teams interested in him.
"I was happy with the
Met," he said, "but I just
wasn't doing the job. If they
felt I didn't fit Into their
plans, they had the right to
get rid of me. After all, it s
just like running any other
business.
"And . don't forget," Pier
sall added, "I drew a pretty
good salary here." His yearly
salary is estimated as 137,-
equalled his major league
career high mark set in July,
1961. The win raised Podres'
seasonal record to 10-6.
Exactly a month prior to
Tuesday night's win, Podres
was sent home from St. Louis
after lasting only a third of
an inning against the Cardi
nals. He underwent treatment
from the Dodgers club phy
sician for a sore elbow, re
ceiving cortisone shots for the
condition.
No Increase
The win, however, did not
increase the Dodgers six-game
National league lead as the
second place Cardinals kept
pace with the Dodgers by de
feating the Milwaukee
Braves.
"That was the best I've seen
Podres perform over a streak
of games although It was not
the best individual perform
ance," manager Walt Alston
commented. "I was a little
worried when he was warm
ing up because he did not ap
pear to be breaking his curve
as well as usual.
Podres agreed that he had
trouble getting his curve over
in the first inning when the
first two men he faced, Dick
Schoficld and Manuel Mota
both singled. But Maury Wills
then started the first of three
Dodger double plays in which
he was involved and gave
Podres a chance to settle
down.
Wills Shines
Alston singled out the work
of Wills at shortstop as ex
ceptional and said the little
infielder turned in one of his
best games of the season.
But it took a bloop double
by Wally Moon in the fifth
inning to bring the Dodgers a
run. Podres led off the inning
with his second straight single
but was forced at second by
Wills who then stole second
his 23rd stolen base of the
season.
Jim Gilliam went all the
way to second on a fielder's
SIPdDIKTS
"I'm working out every day
'to stay In shape when the
next chance comes," he said.

Mickey Mantle and Roger
Maris-S172,000 worth of mus
cle-may owe their World Se
ries checks this fall to second
stringers Johnny Blanchard
and Steve Hamilton.
With sluggers Mantle and
Maris still on the sidelines be
cause of Injuries, the New
York Yankees have boosted
their American league lead to
nine games. In the stretch
utilityman Blanchard has re
gained his 1961 form and
Hamilton has nailed down a
"dependable" tag In the bull
pen.
Tigers Swaap Two
The Detroit Tigers swept a
double-header from Chicago,
9-1 and 6-4, to drop the White
Sox Into third place; Steve
Barber pitched a 4-0, four-hit
victory for the Baltimore On
oles over the Washington
Senators; the Kansas City
Athletics stopped the Boston
Red Sox 1-0, and the Cleve
land Indians edged the Minne
sota Twins, 3-2, in 13 Innings.
Blanchard, playing right
field in place of Maris, con
nected for his fifth and sixth
homers of the season. His sec
ond round-tripper of the game
was a three-run blast oft
southpaw reliever Jack
Spring, topping a six-run fifth
inning. Clete Boyer chipped
in with his 11th homer and
Hector Lopez, another substi
tute outfielder, collected two
hits.
The victory was the Yan
keea' fifth in a row, with
Hamilton preserving Stan
Williams' fourth triumph. So
far this year, Mantle and
Maris have played only 21
games together.
Four Nine Behind
The While Sox' double loss
dropped them one percentage
point behind second-place Bos
ton. Only three points sepa
rate Boston from fifth-place
Baltimore. Boston, Chicago,
Minnseota and the Orioles all
are nine games behind the
Yankees.
Norm Cash and Al Kaline
knocked In eight runs during
the doublcheadcr for the Ti
gers. Cash smashed two hom
ers, Including a grandslam, to
give Hank Aguirre the tri
umph In the opener while Bob
Anderson won the nightcap
with a solid relief job.
Barber earned his 13th vic
tory - his first In almost a
month-as Luis Apariclo col
lected four singles and John
Orsino homered for the Or
ioles. Wayne Causey's first in
ning double and Jerry
Lumpe's single gave the A't
Dieao Seiul all the help he
needed for his sixth triumph.
Segui held the Red Sox to six
hits and struck out nine.
Tito Francona's two out
home run In the 13th off Ca
milo Pascual snapped the In
dian's nine - game losing
streak. Willie Klrkland also
homered for Cleveland as Jim
Grant gained the victory.

Maybe some team will steal

from the Los Angeles Dodg
ers but who's gonna rob the
MVP award from Dick
Groat?
The answer should be no.
body because what value do
you put on a slick-fielding
shortstop who is a fiery field
leader in addition to hitting
343?
That's the 32-year-old
Groat's average today and
puts him squarely on the
path toward his second NL
batting championship and
second MVP award. Groat
won 'cm both in 1960 when
he batted .325 and led the
Pittsburgh Pirates to their
first NL pennant since 1927.
Today, Groat is doing his
Herculean best to lead the
St. Louis Cardinals to their
first NL pennant since 1946.
It's a tough task, all right,
because the Dodgers are roll

game lead but you

Baseball's Brighter
Side is Presented
By RUDY CERNCOVIC
United Press International
Pittsburgh IUPD Let's put
aside the worrisome pennant
chase, the grueling drive for
batting honors for a moment,
and take a look at the lighter
side of baseball this season.
There's a tale about a fan
club organized for a rookie
before he appeared in his
first major league game. And
a major league catcher
blushes when he tells how he
was taken in by a ruse that
sandlotters used 30 years ago.
Another player has joined
the writing fraternity. And
what's in a name? Baseball
by any other name would
still be a great sport.
A San Francisco secretary
with the arresting name of
Novella O'Hara organized
the John Pregenzer fan club
also known as the John who?
Pregenzer had not yet
thrown his first pitch with
the San Francisco Giants
when the club began boom
ing. He has since been sent to
Tacoma for seasoning and
Miss O'Hara offered the Gi
ants $100 for his contract.
Willie Mays was trying to
run up an escalator going
down" at the' Philadelphia
airport. He refused to admit
he was going the wrong way
and finally proved his point
by taking two steps at a time
and arriving at the top.
Then Willie convinced
Pregenzer that HE was going
the wrong way.

Jim Pagliaroni and first base

ed on an easy pop fly lifted
by Ron Fairly of the Los An

Suddenly Pagliaroni
stopped in his tracks when
he heard someone say "I got

opening the gates for a
five-run surge by the
Dodgers.
Later Pagliaroni learned
Dodger coach Joe Eecker had
shouted "I got it."
"The oldest trick in base

ruefully, "and I had to bite

"Which one," inquired
Wills.
"Mine," said Lederer.
