JJ- ' , rv f "' lis im-yf 1 ARGUES-Yankee Bobby Richardson "loses" his head as he argues with umpire Bill Haller in the eighth inning of play with Kansas City in New York Tuesday. Kansas City's Wayne Causey had just slid under Richardson's tag for a double. Bobby's bel lowing did no good but Yanks won, 6-2. (UPI) Clay Top Contender New York-fll?D-Mouthy Cas- sius Clay became top heavy weight contender today in The Ring magazine's latest rat ings because of champion Son ny Liston's repeat first-round knockout over ex - champ Floyd Patterson. Liston was named "Fighter of the Month" in recognition of his 2:10 kayo over Patter son in their return fight at Las Vegas, Nev., July 22. And Floyd was dropped from first to fourth among contenders. Doug Jones of New York was boosted a peg from third to second, and tall Ernie Ter rell of Chicago was pushed up from ninth to third because of last Saturday's lopsided vic tory over Zora Folley of Chan dler, Ariz., who sank from fourth to sixth. Stengel Gets Birthday Wish As Mets Subdue Dodgers 5-1 By JOE SARGIS UPI Sports Writer . The "old man" had his birthday wish today, and who is to say he didn't deserve it. When friends from the base ball and business worlds gath ered in the little house in Glendale, Calif., Tuesday to wish Casey Stengel a "happy birthday," the 73 -year -old skipper of the New York Mets said he had only one wish. "One year with the Yan kees," he explained, "I win 104 games and lose the pen nant. This time my wish is more modest. I want to win just one game." The Mets, who equalled the all-time record of 22 straight losses on the road when they lost to the Houston Colts on Sunday, obliged Stengel Tues day night by beating the league-leading Los Angeles Dodgers, S-l. And if you don't think the "old man" didn't do that little skip dance of his in the clubhouse after Tracy Stallard nailed down the final out, you just don't know Casey. Snapped Losing Streak Your joy would be unre strained, too, if you managed the Mets and had to watch them lose almost every day, and then were presented with a victory over the Dodgers, a club the Mets have beaten only three times in two sea sons. : The win not only snapped an 11-game current losing streak for the Mets but also dealt the Dodgers a jolt just when they had hoped to re cover from a slump, for both the second-place San Francis co Giants and third-place St. Louis Cardinals won to cut Los Angeles' once "safe" lead to just 3'2 games. The Giants, paced by Billy O'Dell's shutout pitching, rolled to their ninth straight victory, 5-0, over the Phila delphia Phillies, while the Cards, now just 4 games off the pace, edged the Cincin nati Reds, 7-5. Stallard, who pitched the Mets' last road victory on June 15 at Cincinnati, went all the way for New York and gave up just four hits, one of them Ken McMullen's fourth home run. The Mets mean while, raked three Los An geles pitchers, beginning with ex-Met Bob Miller, for 14 hits in one of their finest hitting performances of the season. Every Met except Jim Hick man got at least one hit to make it a team "birthday pres ent" for Stengel. Frank Thom as his hit ninth home run and Joe Hicks had three hits. The Phils pecked away at O'Dell 11-6 for 11 hits but the Giant lefty survived, thanks to two double plays and Willie McCovey's three run homer, his 31st of the sea son which gave him the ma- (BCD TM TV 0 f jf.'l Ajj t'ii-vmVpf3T jor league lead. Willie Mays once again the clutch hitter, hit a r ir of doubles and scored tice. Ray Culp (10-9) was tos loser but the Phils may have suffered an even greater loss when Art Mahaf- fey twisted his right ankle while pitching in the seventh inning. The Reds jumped on Lew Burdette for four runs in the first inning but they got only one more the rest of the way as Ernie Broglio and Bobby Shantz combined to hold the fort while the Card hitters caught up. A two-run homer by Bill White and a bases empty one by Charley James figured prominently in the St. Louis attack. A pair of errors by Leo Cardenas made two of the St. Louis runs unearned. Pirates Rout Colts In other National League games, the Pittsburgh Pirates backed Joe Gibbon s seven-hit pitching with a 14-hit attack for an 8-1 win over tne HouS' ton Colts and the Milwaukee Braves routed the Chicago Cubs, 9-2, on homers by Lee Maye, Eddie Mathews and Denis Menke. In the American league, the New York Yankees stayed 8 games in front of the pack by beating the Kansas City A s, 6-2, the Chicago White Sox beat the Washington Senators, 5-1, the Minnesota Twins downed the Boston Red Sox, 6-3, the Baltimore Orioles shut out the Detroit Tigers, 9-0, and the Los Ang'les Angels beat the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings. 6-4. The Pittsburgh victory snapped a four-game Houston winning streak ana gave uid. bon his fifth victory and Skin. nv Brown his sixth loss. Jim Paeliaroni batted in tnree runs for the Pirates wltn a sinele and his eight homer. Hank Fischer 4-2 was tne beneficiary of the lusty Mil waukee hitting. He gave up six hits, one of them Steve Boros' first NL homer. Bob Buhl, who was tagged for six hits and four runs in two in nings, was the loser.
