M cCovey's Home Runs Enable Siants To Split Tivo With Bucs By FRED DOWN ITI Sports Writ r Willie MeCovey is closing in on a National League home run rec ord and there'll be no asterisk alongside his name if he makes it. The free-swinging San Francisco Giant outfielder hit his 27th and J.iih homers of the season Tues day night when the Giants split pair of 3 - 2 decisions with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The two blows gave him a total of 10 for the month only six fewer than the NL mark set in 1W9 by Ralph Kiner.of the Pirates. Kiner's mark doesn't have the prestige of Babe Ruth's 60 in 1927 so there won't be any na tional uproar to disturb Willie's comic - book reading. Baseball's poobahs put an asterisk alongside -Rojer Maris" name when he hit -61 homers in 1961 on the grounds -the season was longer than lwi Ruth set bis record in 1927. But las far as anyone knows nobody ' in baseball has suggested that the mon;h of July is longer now than it used to be. It only seems longer to XL pitchers, who have been coping witk MeCovey during his current rampage. The big pry has ham mered away at a -323-dip since June SO end has lifted his sea son average to .281. j Homer Won Come McCovey's 27th homer came in the ninth inmng of Tuesday night s opener and pare the Giants their victorv. Willi also homered in the first inning of the nightcap and had a second nit curing me game but the Pirates earned the split on the strength oi a rune- hit attack that included two triples by Dick Schofield, one by Bill Virdon and double by Boberto Clemente and Bill Mazeroski. MeCovey has now hit safely in 21 straight games during which he hit 14 homers and drove in 24 runs. The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-2. be fore suffering a 10-2 loss, the St Louis Cardinals nipped the Cin cinnati Reds, 5 4. in 10 innings, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Braves, 1-0, and the New York Mots topped the Hou ston Colts, 4-J, in other NL games. Sandy Koulax pitched a perfect game for six innings and wound up with a sixhittor that earned him his ninth straight victory and his 16th of the season. Wally Moon's homer, a single by John Roseboro and a double by Jim Gilliam were the big blows of the Dodgers' 12-hit attack. Threw Eight-Hitter Dallas Green pitched an eight hitler in the second game as John Callison hit two homers and Tony Taylor and Koy Sivers had two hits (or the Phillies. . Tim McCarver's two-strike bunt. which started foul and then rolled fair, brought in Bill White from third base w ith the winning run for the Cardinals. Bobby Shanti struck out eight batters in 3 2-3 innings to win his fourth game while Joey Jay, appearing in re lief, suffered his 14th defeat. Bob Buhl pitched 6 2-3 innings of hitless- bail and allowed only one hit before retiring because of the heat after seven innings to post his ninth win for the amaz ing Cubs. Ken Hubbs homered in the fifth inning for the Cubs, who moved to witfiin 5'i games of the NL lead. The Mets broke a 3-3 lie in the ninth inning when Norm Sherry's bad-hop single went over short stop Jim Wynn's head and en abled Rod Kanehl to score from third. Galer Cisco, who pitched a hitless ninth, won his fifth game while Hal Woodeshick suf fered his fifth loss.

Stu Miller Keeps Birds Within (Range Of Yanks By United Press International What are tlie odds that Dick Radatz, the Boston monster who terrifies American League hitters, would be challenged by a pitcher who was once blown, off the mound by a gust of wind? You name 'cm and you've got the odds against Stu Miller, a 160-pound chap whose hobby is contract bridge, being in the big leagues in the first place. Yet the ex-San Francisco Giant right-hand er is doing a brilliant job of re lief pitching in his own right and is the key reason the Baltimore Orioles are still within shouting distance of the American League lead. Miller, whose equipment is de scribed by hitters as "slow, slower and let's not get ridicu lous," has been the closeout pitch er in the Orioles' last seven vic tories dating back to July 5. He's been the official winner in only one of those games and his sea son record is a mere 3-4 but tllat only proves that records don't al ways tcjl the real story. Preserved Victory Miller he was "blown" o.'f the mound by a sudden gust of wind during the 1961 AU-Star game in San Francisco turned in a typi cal clutch relief job Tuesday night to preserve the Orioles' 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. The win moved the Orioles to within 6',2 games of the first-place New York Yankees, who were rained out in Minnesota. The Los Angeles Angels shad ed the Cleveland Indians 2-1, the Washington Senators downed the Chicago White Sox, 3-1, and the Kansas City Athletics routed the Boston Red Sox, 11-0, in other AL action. In the National League. Los An geles beat Philadelphia, 5-2. and lost 10-2, Pittsburgh downed San Francisco. 3-2. after losing the opener by the same score. Chi cago nipped Milwaukee. 1-0, St. Louis edged out Cincinnati, 5-4, and New York tripped Houston, 4-3. Miller was called in Tuesday night after the Tigers got run ners on first and second base with one out -and the Orioles Sternberg's Condition Same SEATTLE (UPD - Pole vault er Brian Sternberg's overall con dition remained critical today. following surgery for the removal of a cervical disc damaged in a trampoline fall 'which left the University of Washington athlete paralyzed. Sternberg underwent a five-hour operation at University Hospital Tuesday in the hope that removal of the disc would speed his re covery from paralysis. The hospital's medical director. Dr. William Robertson, said it would be about two weeks before any new information would be available as to Sternberg's chanc es of recovery. Robertson said Sternberg came through the operation w ithout any apparent complications. Sternberg suffered a dislocated cervical vertebrae (broken neck) July 2 while working out on a trampoline to keep in shape leading in the eighth. He yielded a walk and run-scoring hit but then retired Rocky Colavito and Bill Bruton to end the inning and went on to shut out the Tigers in the ninth. Homers by John Powell, Jim Genlile, Brooks Rob inson and Bob Johnson produced the Orioles runs as they dealt winless Frank Lary his third loss, McBride Wins 10th Ken McBride pitched a three hitter and struck out five to win his loth victory or the Angels. The Angels scored both their runs in the third inning which McBride led off with a double and which Lee Thomas capped .with a run scoring single. Jim Grant suffered his ninth loss. Claude Osteon's four-hit pitch ing earned him his third win and the Senators their 10th in tlicir last 12 games. An error by catch er Camilo Carreon on a foul jpp paved the way for the Senators to score all their runs in the sec ond inning. Osteen singled home one run and M a r v Breeding tripled in the other pair. Pitcher Moe Drabowsky hurled a four-hitter and also homered to win his first game of the season behind a 15-hit Kansas City at tack that also included a homer by Norm Siebern and triples by Gino Cimoli, Jerry Lumpc and Jose Tartabull. Dave Morehiad was the Red Sox' loser. HAVE YOUR CAR WASHED . . . aulomfttlrfttly In lest than 10 m In ale, SI. 13. Sparkle Car Wash 4023 So. Sixth . r II x IS 1 i .'7 v' 1 Kl APPL'hT' .... ..
