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.

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-

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.

The ST-107's were

suffered more abuse
than tires ever receive;
and they held!
This was no stunt.
