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.

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

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.

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.

Readers Welcome
Newspaper Advertising
. . . It's Not an Intrusion!
People really want newspaper advertising and have said so. Surveys
usually show well over 80 in favor of newspaper advertising; less than
70 for magazines ; and under 40 in favor of advertising on radio and TV.
Your advertising's first job is to win a friendly feeling for your product.
It stands to reason you will win more friends by running your advertising
where most people want it.
If you want to sell more people you have to reach them when they are
