Newspaper Page Text4 B WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14. HIS MEDrORO MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKO, OREGON Spahn Now All-Time Stricltout King of Lefthanded Hurlers By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Wriltr Warren Spahn did it again -simDlv to satisfy the suck.' lers and keep them from claiming he was lousing up the record book. The 42-year-old Milwaukee southpaw settled a two-wee long debate Tuesday night when he officially became the all-time lefthanded strikeout kine of the major leagues with a career total of 2,383 Snahn achieved the mile stone bv striking out five bat tcrs in a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers that represented his 14th triumph of the season and the 341st of his career. In a manner of speaking, Spahn had been walking around with an asterisk since July 29 when he fanned five Cincinnati batters ana prougm his strikeout total to 2,378, Some said that total made him . the new all-time left handed strikeout king, but others said it didn't. Rube Waddell, former southpaw for the Philadelplv ia A's, was the cause of the argument. Two separate rec ord books listed Waddell's strikeout total at 2,375. Other books listed his total as 2,381. Spahn took care of all the books Tuesday night, how ever, when he got losing pitcher Bob Miller on a call ed third strike, in the seventh inning for the 2,382nd strike out of his career. His final strike -out victim was pinch hitter Al Ferrara, who ended the game, IdU Two Weeks ' An attack of tendonitis 'had kept' Spahn idle since that July 29 contest and in his first game back Tuesday night he scattered nine hits. The Braves nicked Dodger starter Johnny Podres for three runs in the first inning and Denis Menke's sacrifice -fly in the eighth Inning pro duced the winning run after Los Angeles had tied the score. Despite the defeat, the Dod gers retained their four-game lead when Cincinnati blanked second place San Francisco, 4-0. St. Louis beat Houston, 4-2. in the only other Nation al League contest. Rain wash ed out the Pittsburgh-New York game. Jim Maloney won his 18th for the Reds with a two-hitter against the Giants. Frank Robinson hit his 17th homer with one on and Vada Plnson his 13th with a man aboard off Juan Marlchal. The de . feat was Marlchal's sixth against 18 victories, Singles by Harvey Kuenn and Felipe Alou were the only hits off Maloney, who turned in his fifth shutout. One of the features of the game was Willie Mays' shift to shortstop from center field in the eighth inning. It was the first time he had played any other position but center field since entering the ma jors. Willie said later he didn't think he would ever play shortstop again. He had no chances at hit new posi tion. Ken Boyer drove in three runs with a bases-loaded dou ble In the first Inning and Ernie Broglio scattered eight hits in the Cardinals' victory over the Colts. Al Spangler's first-inning homer put Hous ton ahead temporarily but Broglio gave up only one more run the remainder of the way for his 13th victory in 21 decisions. Bob Bruce was the loser.

HR Moloney Hill Mark Now 18-4 Cincinnati - IUPD - Three National league pitchers are on the high road to great sea sons, and Cincinnati's young Jim Maloney may wind up with the best year of all. Maloney met another of the mighty triumvirate, San Francisco's Juan Marlchal, here Tuesday night and wound up a winner 4-0 after tossing a two-hitter. The 22 -year-old Maloney now has an 18-4 record, In cluding five shutouts, one one-hitter, and two two-hit-tcrs. He has fanned 187 men in. 185 Innings. Marichal is 18-8, while the third and, the loop's most pub licized ace, Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers, is in between at 18-3. Marichal and Maloney put on their expected duel until the sixth inning when Tommy Harper, who has murdered the Giants all year, singled . Then Frank Robinson, alleged to be in a slump, bombed a , homer to the most distant reaches of Croslcy Field. Mays At Short . The game finally fell apart for the Giants when the peiky Harper beat out an Infield sin Ble, and the other half of the traditional Redleg one-two punch, Vada Plnson, also hit a homer. The evening's most start ling development from the Giant point of view occurred in the eighth inning when Willie Mays, a fixture In cen tcr field for the past decade, was put In at shortstop in the eighth Inning. It was the first time he had ever played shortstop in his big league career. Manager Alvin Dark wished to pinch hit for Ernie Bowman in the eighth and also to save Jim Davenport for plnch-hit duty In the ninth. With Jose Pagan hurt and Willie McCovey ser ving the second day of his Iwo-day suspension, Dark had practically no other choice. But bath pinch hitters fail ed and 'Mays did not get a fielding chance at his new position. Bears Put Pitching With Hits United Prats. International Denver is resting; comfort. ably In the cellar of the Pa cific Coast League's Southern division, but the Bears are still the best hitting team in the loop. Denver is batting .289 as a team, while nobody else is over .270. The Bean are also more than 100 runs ahead of their nearest competitor and also top the league in homers. In other words, on those mre occasions when Denver gets some pitching, it's pretty nara 10 beat the Bears. . That was the story Tuesday nigm at Spokane where a good-sized crowd of 0,800 sat tnrougn a lightning storm and watched Dennis Ribant of the Bears toss ' a three - hitter against the league leaders. While lightning- was flash. ing around the ballpark, Den ver s bats provided the thun der with 20 hits on the way to an 11-1 romp. J. W. Porter, Chico Salmon and Corky Wlthrow had three hits apiece for the Bears. Ri bant hag managed to compile an 11-7 record despite Den ver's over-all losing pace. Hawaii victor Elsewhere around the wide spread PCL, San Diego coast ed to a 5-1 decision at Seat tle, Tacoma spotted Salt Lake a 6-1 lead then roared back tq take an 8-7 decision, and Hawaii edged Portland 6-5, at Honolulu. Oklahoma City at Dallas-Ft. Worth was rained out. The teams will play two tonight In their battle for the South ern Division lead. Dick Sovde gained credit for the win, but owed much to the hot relief hurling of Bob Duliba and Tom Margan. Bill Myer hit a two-run homer for Portland in the first. It wag his second homer in the last two games. Come to think of it, it was also his second round-tripper of the season. Carlos Bernier hit his 26th blast for Hawaii with a mate aboard in the bottom of the first. Four consecutive walks In the sixth inning gave the Islanders what proved to be the winning tally.

Salem advanced to the re gional tourney. Br MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer There's a fellow in Chicago who says the Yankees can still be overtaken His name is Al Lopez, his White Sox have won 15 of their last 20 games and his feeling is "a lot of things can happen in seven weeks." Something happened Tues, day night that made Lopez even more optimistic. One of his rookie pitchers, Dave De Busschere, hurled his first complete game in the majors and his first shutout in beat ing the Cleveland Indians, 3-0. The victory boosted the sec, ond - place White Sox 8V& games behind the rained -out Yankees and although that still leaves a lot of hay to be mown, Lopez refuses to con cede. Still A Chance "We still have a chance," he insists. "The Yankees have a good ball club but they're not infallible. I remember a Dodger club that had a 13 game lead and lost." DeBusschere heightened Lo pez' hopes with steady six hit effort that earned him his third victory against four losses. The White Sox collected only five hits off loser Jim (Mudcat) Grant and Early Wynn. Nellie Fox had a dou ble and two singles, driving in one run and scoring another. In other American league action, Baltimore mauled Min nesota, 6-1, Kansas City down ed Detroit, 4-2, and Los Ange les nipped Washington, 4-2. Rain washed out the Yankees- Red Sox contest. Wins Sixteenth Southpaw Steve Barber won his 16th for the Orioles by striking out 10 Twin bat ters and scattering eight hits. The only run off Barber was Harmon Killebrew's 27th homer in the eighth innna John Orsino clipped loser uick stigman (12-11) for his 12th homer and Boog Powell belted his 20th off reliever Ray Moore in the ninth Errors by pitcher Jim Bun- ning and first baseman Norm Cash helped the Athletics to three unearned runs that beat the Tigers. Bunning, who suffered his 12th defeat in 20 decisions although he gave up only five hits in seven innings, dropped the ball during a fifth-inning rundown and Cash's throwing error in the eighth provided the A s with their last two runs. Reliever Ted Bowsfield was credited with his fifth win against six losses. The Angels ended a seven game losing streak with their victory over the Senators. Billy Moran, who had three hits, scored the winning run in the eighth after he doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and came home on Bob Sadowski's squeeze bunt. Don Lee (6-8) was the winner and, Don Rudolph (7-13) the loser. Don Zimmer hit his seventh homer for Washington. I.INESCORES: BalUmore ..nil Am nit a i, .
