Cardinal
By 7-5 Triumph of
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Spoilt wrutr
Bve bve. Redbirds.
That was about the size of
it for the cooled-off Cardinals
today after the high -riding
Dodgers beat them. 7-3, rues-
day night to increase their
National league ieaa io ovi
games.
The Cardinals came Into
Los Angeles filled with pen
nant ideas following their
three straight victories over
the stumbling San Francisco
Giants,
One misDlav killed all
those ideas and the unfor
tunate victim was first base
man Bill White, ordinarily
one of the finest players in
the circuit.
Here was the situation:
The Dodgers trailed, 4-2, in
the fourth inning and had
runners on first and second
when John Roseboro ground'
ed to White.
Trying to force speedy Wll-
lie Davis at second, White
threw the ball into center
field, enabling Frank Howard
to score from second and
Davis all the way from first
on the error.
Before the inning was over,
the Dodgers rallied for five
runs and that was the ball
game.
Giants Lot
The Giants, meanwhile, fell
7V4 games off the pace by
dropping a 6-1 decision to the
Braves. The Reds beat the
Colts, 1-0, the Mets ended the
Phllies' eight -game winning
streak with a 4-0 victory in
the opener of a twin-bill but
lost the nightcap, 2-1, in 12
innings and the Pirates de
feated the Cubs, 5-3.

Says SF About
Out of Race
By HAL WOOD
. San Francisco (UTO - The
San Francisco Giants, in the
throes of another losing
streak, can just about be
counted out of the 1963 Na
tiona league pennant chase.
Take the word of Milwau
kee manager Bobby Bragan
whose Braves handed the
Giants their fourth consecu
tive loss, 6-1, Tuesday night,
"I would say that the Los
Angeles Dodgers have a com
manding position in the race,"
said Bragan, which was a con.
servative estimate. The Dodg
ers hold 16W game lead over
the second place St. Louis
Cardinals and 7'4 over the
defending league champions,
the Giants.
Don't Have Pitching
"I don't think San Francis
co will get back in the race
because they don't seem to
have the pitching. Billy Pierce
and Jack Sanford, who won
40 games between them last
year, are having an off-season."
That's putting it mildly.
Pierce, who pitched beautiful
ball for six innings Tuesday
night and had a 1-0 lead, fold
ed completely in the seventh
when the first three men
singled. Bob Bolin came in to
hurl relief - and like all
Giants' relievers lately, tossed
home run ball that clinched
the contest for the Braves.
Pierce now has won only
three games all season against
nine defeats. Last year he
won 16 and was unbeaten in
Candlestick Park.
Koufax Seeks
20th Victory
Br PAUL CORCORAN
Los Angeles - WD- Sandy
Koufax makes his bid to
night to become the first
major leaguer to win 20 games
this season, 24 hours after a
Met fugitive named Bob
Miller reached a hitherto un
dreamed of plateau of eight
victories.
Regardless of how the bril
liant Koufax is, it's improb
able he'll do much better than
Miller did Tuesday night with
five scoreless innings of re
lief pitching that enabled the
firstplace Dodgers to defeat
the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-5.
Koufax has veteran Curt
Simmons, 11-6, as his Cardinal
mound rival tonight.
On Hit
"I think I pitched as well
as I have all year," Miller
said after his five-Inning stint
in which he yielded only one
hit, struck out six and walked
single batter.
Manager Walt Alston, ex
tremely pleased, didn't dis
pute the young right hander
who once performed for the
Cardinals - until the Mets
shelled out $125,000 in the
1961 player draft at the time
the Houston and New York
franchises were stocked with
journeymen performers. -Miller
was 1-12 last year,
but the Dodgers bartered for
him to fill in for Stan Wll
liams, who was traded for
Bill Skowron of the Yanks.
Chances
brought the Braves their vic
tory over the Giants.
Vada Pinson's sacrifice fly
in the sixth inning scored
Pete Rose with the only run
of the Cincinnati - Houston
game.
Rookie Grover Powell, mak
ing his first major league start
for the Mets, held the Phils
to four hits in the opener to
beat veteran Cal McLish.
Tony Taylor's run-producing
single in the 12th inning
snapped a 1 all tie in the
nightcap,
Home runs by Jerry Lynch,
Bill Mazeroski and Jim Pag
liaroni paced the Pirates to
their victory over the Cubs.

In American Loop
On Tuesday Night
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sports Writer
Whatta mess!
That's the only way to de
scribe the entire American
league situation.
A lopsided race is one thing,
but who ever heard of the
pitchers still being ahead of
the hitters in late August?
It's different in spring train
ing where the hitters can
claim they're rusty from the
long winter lay-off, but what
excuse can they offer now af
ter five months to sharpen
their batting eyes?
Oh well, maybe things will
all even up by Thanksgiving
Day. Tuesday night, however,
it was strictly one-sided and
the pitchers had a ball.
Hurls One-Hitler
Moe Drabowsky of Kansas
City, for example, beat Wash
ington, 9-0, on a one-hitter in
the first game of a twi-night
doubleheader and the A's also
took the 14-inning nightcap,
7-5.
Southpaw Hank Aguirre
hurled a two-hitter for Detroit
in a 6-0 victory over Minne
sota, while another left-hander,
Juan Pizarro of the White
Sox, retired 24 batters in or
der en route to a 10-2 tri
umph over the Red Sox.
Veteran Dick Donovan
came up with some brilliant
clutch pitching also in lead
ing the Indians to a 2-1 win
over the Yankees. Even with
the loss the Yankees still lead
the league by 9'4 games.
The Baltimore-Los Angeles
game was postponed because
of rain with the Orioles ahead,
4-1, after four innings.
Gets Bunt Single
Don Blasingame s bunt sin
gle in the fourth inning was
the only hit given up by Dra
bowsky as he coasted to his
fifth victory behind a la-nlt
Kansas City attack. Jerry
Lumpe gave the A's a sweep
when he homered with one on
off reliever Don Rudolph in
the 14th inning of the night
cap. Aeuirre yielded a leaaoii
single to Lennie Green of the
Twins in the first inning and
didn't allow another hit until
Harmon Killebrew singled in
the seventh.
Pizarro's effort was similar
to Aguirre's although the Red

Sox nicked him for five hits.
Felix Mantilla got Boston's
first hit in the opening frame
after which Pizarro retired 24
batters in order before the
Red Sox put together four
more singles for both their
runs in the ninth. Pizarro
drove in three runs with as
many hits.
Donovan really had to work
to nail down his ninth victory
against the Yankees, who
filled the bases with one out
in the ninth. But the Cleve
land righthander got pinch
hitter Yogi Berra to bounce
into a game -ending double
play. Vic Davalillo's infield
single with the bases full
drove in the winning run for
the Indians in the top of the
ninth.

Baker Drilled
On Rifling Ball
Orange, Calif. - (UPD - The
nasing of quarterback Terry
Baker drew a lot of attention
Tuesday from Los Angeles
Ram coaches-they drilled him
on rifling the ball rather than
floating it.
"We know Terry can rifle
the ball but he's been floating
it," said head coach Harland
Svare, "and that means he's
leaving himself vulnerable to
interceptions."
The Rams meet the Dallas
Cowboys this Saturday in
Portland, Ore., Baker's home
town. Svare has not yet com
mitted himself, but he may
start Baker for the first time
in place of second-year man
Roman Gabriel.
