UllUE MAYS BAT HOT AGAIN;
SF GIANTS CLIP HOUSTON 3-1
By FRED DOWN
UPI Spertt Wrllar
Those front running Los
Angeles Dodgers must real
ize by now that the National
league pennant race is as hot
as Willie Mays' bat happens
to be.
The Dolgers are five games
In front of the Giants and the
St. Louis Cardinals and they
are coasting along with a tidy
three-game winning streak.
Willie's average dipped to
.240 in mid-season and this
looked like the worst season
he ever has had in the ma
jors. But he's riffling that bat
with six hits in his last
eight trips to the plate and
he's raised his season aver
age to .290. The message to
the Dodgers is loud and clear
falter and you'll pay tne
penalty of blowing a second
straight pennant.
Mays hammered out a tri
ple and two singles to lead
the Giants' 12-hlt attack Tues
day night in a 3-1 victory over
the Houston Colts. It was the
first time the Giants beat the
Colts in Houston in five
games.
Dodgers Down Cubs
The Dodgers downed the
Chicago Cubs. 4-1, the Car
dinals topped the New York
Mets, 4-3, the Pittsburgh Pi
rates defeated the Milwaukee
Braves, 3-0, and the Philadel
phia Phillies scored a 7-1 tri
umph after a 6-4 10-inning loss
to the Cincinnati Reds in oth
er National league games.
Jim Duffalo went eight in
nings and allowed six hits to
win his fourth straight game
without a loss for the Giants
while Hal Brown suffered his
seventh defeat against four
wins. Mays tripled and scor
ed in the fourth inning and
contributed a key single in
the sixth when the Giants
cored their final run. Jim
Wynn had two hits for the
Colts.
Maury Wills paced the
Dodgers' 10-hit attack with a
double and three singles and
Don Drysdale pitched a six
hitter and fanned six for his
14th victory against 12 losses.
Drysdale, now gunning for his
second straight 20 win sea
son, halted Billy Williams'
12-game hitting streak,
Shanls Shut Doer
Bobby Shantz' 1 23-innings
of close out relief pitching
helped the Cardinals deal the
Mets their 15th defeat in 17
games. Ken Boyer, Julian
Javier and Tim McCarver had
two hits each for the Cardi
nals, with Boyer driving In
the winning run with fifth
inning single. Galen Cisco
suffered his 10th loss against
even wins.
Don Cardwell shut out the
Braves with four hits for eight
innings and Al McBean clos
ed it out in the ninth to earn
Cardwell his eighth win
against 12 losses. Key blows
in the Pirates' three - run
seventh inning were a single
by Roberto Clemente, a dou
ble by Donn Clendenon and
a single by Jim Pagliaroni.
Pete Rose's two run hom
er and three hits by Vada
Pinson led the Reds to their
opening - game triumph at
Philadelphia but the Phillies
won the nightcap on the
strength of three doubles by
Johnny Callison and the
three-hit pitching of Denis
Bennett. Joey Jay suffered
his 16th loss against four wins
lor the Reds.
;
GETS RIBBING Umpire Al Barlick, lakes
some ribbing from Cub and Dodger ball
players as he does his house cleaning on
home plate with a rag because of the mud
that accumulated from the rains that delay
ed the game for 25 minutes in the eighth
inning at Chicago. After things were cleaned
up, the Dodgers went on to win the ball
game, 4-1. (UPI)

Dick Ellsworth Aiming
At 20 Victories for Cubs
By GENE BLUDEAN
Chicago - (UPI) - The Chi
cago Cubs, confident that Bob
Kennedy already Is in the
bis for manager - of - the-
year honors, are quietly work
ing on another project -ior
the good of the club."
This is to come up wun
the team's first southpaw 20
game winner in 44 years. The
last Cubs lefthander to win
20 or better was Jim Vaughn,
who wound up the 1919 cam
paign with a 21-14 record.
The next one could be Dick
Ellsworth, a 23-year-old port
sider who has a 15-7 record
with two months of the sea
son left.
If Ellsworth makes H, he
could also put In a claim for
the come - back of - the year
award on the basis of slipping
to B-20 in 1962 after a prom
ising 10-11 with a seventh
place club in 1961.
Ellsworth Confidant
Ellsworth is confident he
will win 20 this year and
Freddy Martin, his pitching
coach, believes Ellsworth can
not miss.
'If he doesn't get hurt or
suddenly develop arm trou
ble, I don't see how he can
miss." Martin said. "His con
trol is as good as any pitcher
in the league right now, and
he's been winning some close
ones where he hasn't been
getting much help from the
batters."

Martin put in a lot of time
with Ellsworth In spring
training The pitching coach
said Ellsworth had a flaw in
his motion faling to bend
forward far enough with the
throw.
"It wasn't extremely notice
able, but it was enough to af
fect his control. He worked
hard on getting rid of that.
When he did, his control im
proved almost 100 per cent,"
Martin said.
Gets Curve Over
Martin said that as a re
sult Ellsworth has been get
ting his curve over the cor
ners, in addition, his protege
developed a slider to give
hlme a fourth good pitch to
go along with a fast ball,
change-up and curve he had
been using for the past two
seasons.
Ellsworth said he would
risk throwing a slider about
once a game last season.
"Now I work it In regu
larly with good results," he
said.
Ellsworth was signed for
a substantial bonus after ne
graduated from Fresno, Calif.,
High school in 1958. His first
appearance in a Cub uniform
was in the annual boys ben
efit game that year when he
beat the White Sox 1-0 on
four hits.

UPI Sports Writer
Opposing hitters who con
sider Don Drysdale a menace
to life, limb and batting av
erage are hereby warned that
the American league now
boasts a bigger-than-life du
plicate in Stan Williams.
Williams, a 6-4, 240-pound-er,
can match his farmer
Dodger teammate in size and
he throws a mean enough fast
ball to compare with Drys
dale. Only trouble is, Wil
liams hasn't enjoyed as much'
success getting the batters
out.
All this is about to change,
however, boasts Williams. His
solution? To pitch with the
same motion as Drysdale.
Whatever the answer. It
worked with huge success
Tuesday night when Williams
gave up just one hit in lead
ing the New York Yankees
to a 1-0 victory over Wash
ington in the second game of
a twi-night doubleheader aft
er the Senators had taken the
opener, 8-5. It was the best
effort turned in by Williams
since joining the Yankees last
winter.
Struck Out 11
The only hit off Williams
was a third-inning double by
Don Blasingame, and the pow
erful righthander struck out
11 and walked only one.
The Kansas City Athletics
knocked second-place Chicago
eight full games behind the
Yankees by edging the White
Sox, 4-3; the Baltimore Ori
oles defeated the Cleveland
Indians, 6-4; the Detroit Ti
gers routed the Boston Red
Sox, 10-1; and the Minnesota
Twins downed the Los An
geles Angels, 5-1.
Williams, who retired the
last 19 Washington batters in
order, got the only run he
needed for his fifth victory
Portland - fflPD - Portland
defeated Tacoma 5-0 and Hilo,
Hawaii, edged Trl-City 1-0 in
eight innings as the North
west Regional Colt baseball
tournament opened Tuesday
night. Portland plays Hilo at
9 p.m. to the winners' bracket
and Tacoma meets Tri-City at
6:30 p.m. in the losers' bracket
of the four-day, double-elimi
nation tourney tonight.
in eight decisions when Tony
Kubek tripled in the eighth
inning and came home on
Bobby Richardson's sacrifice
fly. Bennie Daniels was the
victim.
Hit Two Homers
Chuck Cottier smashed two
homers for the Washington
Senators, including a decisive
three-run blow in the sixth
inning that sent Yankee start
er Whitey Ford down to de
feat. Pinch-hitter George Alusik
singled home the winning
run for Kansas City with two
out in the bottom of the ninth
inning after the White Sox
had tied the score with three
runs in the top of the ninth.
Reliever John Wyatt got
the victory.
Jim Gentile drove in four
runs with two homers to help
Robin Roberts gain his fifth
straight triumph for Balti
more. Roberts was touched
for three home runs and final
ly gave way to Stu Miller in
the eighth Inning.
George Smith, playing in
only his second major league
game, collected two doubles
and a triple and Frank Lary
coasted behind a nine-hitter
for Detroit.
Lee Stange, 4-3, treated to
a three-run lead in the first
inning, shut out Los Angeles
on two hits for seven innings
and after yielding a run in
the eighth, needed relief help
from Bill Dailey in the ninth.
The Twins' early rally was
culminated on a two-run sin
gle by Bob Allison and an
other run-producing hit by
Earl Battey. Dean Chance,
(10-12) took the loss.
