Sixth Throng Greets Leaders SAN FRANCISCO (UPI'-Cynics might say that it is a little early but it looks as though San Fran Cisco is suffering from a severe cast of pennant fever. The undefeated San Franciscans returned home last night and were met by a host of dignitaries and an estimated 5,000 fans. Today, the tempo increased with the team slated to get a hero's welcome in a gala parade through downtown San Francisco. Twelve thousand balloons, 1,000 pounds of confetti and plenly of ticker-tape were to be showered on the team, while pom-pom girls, college bands and the leather lunged Foghorn Murphy saluted the Gianis. The parade was to end on the steps of City Hall with Mayor George Christopher presenting each Giant with a set of cuff links. The first home game is Tues day with a full house a near cer tainty at Seals Stadium as the Giants host the Chicago Cubs. Jack Sanford is to make his debut on the hill for the locals. Sunday, the Giants completed their impressive three-game sween at St. Louis with a 6-3 triumph. The San Franciscans outhit the Redbirds 13-6, but the issue was in doubt until the too of the ninth when Jim Davenport singled, and with two men out, Orlando Cepeda tripled and Felipe Alou homered. Both extra base blows were into the teeth of a stiff wind from left field. Young Mike McCormick started for the bay team and pitched well, but was almost across in the first with Alou, Andre Rod gers and Cepeda committing bobbles. In the third, the Giants got one back when Bob Schmidt doubled and Jim Davenport, who collected three hits for the day. singled him home. The persistent Giants tied it up in the fifth thanks largely to a bobble by the usually dependable Don Blasingame and a two-run triple by Willie Mays. that capped the scoring until the ninth inning eruption. By that time Al Worthington had relieved McCormick and he received cred it for the win. Wilmer Mizell went all the way for St. Louis and ac cepted the loss. The Giants exhibited surprising ly tough pitching and their expec ted power in sweeping the series. On the debit side of the ledger were nine bobles and plenty of sloppy base-running.
