Hurls Perfect Game For 12 Innings, Loses By FRED DOWN United Press International Little Harvey Haddix occupies a special niche in baseball history today as the man who pitched the greatest major league game ever —and lost. They’re not even sure whether tlft final score wis 1-0 or 2-0 but it’s certain the 33-year-dd lefty from Medway, Ohio, will be remembered as baseball’s all-time “hard lucJt pitcher." And his Pittsburgh Pirate teammates can never forget the night they couldn’t score a run for the man who pitched a 12-inning ’‘perfect game.” Wen’t Appear Officially Haddix* supreme effort won’t appear officially among the perfect games, of course, because the Milwaukee Braves won out in the 13th Inning but it will be included with a special notation. Along the route that eventually led to defeat, Haddix achieved the following: —The first nine-inning "perfect game” in modern NL history. —The first extra-inning “perfect game” in baseball history. —The longest string of perfect innings ever put together in a major league game. The amazing spell ended at the start of the 13th inning when Felix Mantilla reached first base on a throwing error by third baseman Don Hoak. Eddie Mathews’ sacrifice forced Haddix to issuean intentional walk to Hank Aaron in order to face lead-footed Joe Adcock with a potential in-ning-ending double play situation set up. Then came Adcock’s fenceclearing drive—the only hit off Haddix — the resulting confusion when Adcock passed Aaron in the base-line—the question of whether the final score was 2-0 or 1-0 — and finally Haddix’ post-game comment:' “It’s only another loss; it just hurts a bit more.” Another Hard-Luck Effort . In. all bdseball history there is only one “hpnd hick” pitcher whd might be compared to Haddix — Harry Mclntire of Brooklyn, who pitched a no-hitter for 10 2-3 innings against Pittsburgh, Aug. 1, 1906, and eventually lost, 1-0, in 13 innings after givin up four hits. All "official” modern perfect games—by Cy Young, Addie Joss, Ernei Shore, Charlie Robertson and Don Larsen—were nine-inning affairs and also were all achieved by American Leaguers. The victory, achieved on Lew Burdettes’ 12-hit pitching, enabled the Braves to remain three games ahead of the San Francisco Giants, who beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-4, on Leon Wagner’s ninth-inning homer. The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1, in the only other NL game. The Cleveland Indians increased their first-place lead to two games with a 3-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox, the Boston Red Sox routed the New York Yankees, 12-2, the Detroit Tigers downed the Kansas City Athletics 9-5, and the Baltimore Orioles shaded the Washington Senators,, 6-5, in American League action.

Yanks Seeking > To Trade More Ball Players By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International NEW YORK (UK) - They’re finally breaking up the Yankees—and, oh how it hurts! That Kansas City deal was only a forerunner, so don’t go away

because there's more to come— j or rather, more Yankee players : due to go. I “Sure, we’re trying to land an- ] other pitcher,” admitted a vexed Casey Stengel after his collapsing i world champions dropped their 14th game in their last 21 starts by bowing to Boston, 12-2, Tues- : day night, “But where are we gonna get one?” Best guess is at Baltimore, where the surprising third-place Grides have pitchers to spare. The Yankees would like to have left-hander Billy O’Dell, but the Orioles prefer to give up someone- like ‘Jack Harshman, Arnie Portocarrero or Skinny Brown. Paul Richards even might con-

«mt to trade youthful fartballer Milt Pappas. All he’s asking in return is Gil McDougald plus a pitcher. 1 The Yankees, showing no sign of deserting the American League cellar, realise they must do somethnig drastic to prevent a complete shambles. I Acquisition of Hector Lopez and Ralph Terry —a pitcher they originally owned—from the Athletics Tuesday in exchange for Tom Sturdivant, Johnny Kucks and Jerry Lumpe was merely the first step. In addition to another pitcher, the Yankees also are casting around for a right-hander longball hitter on the order of Roy

Jensen, winner of the American League’s most valuable player I award last year, can be had by [ the White Sox. There’s a catch, though. The Red Sox want south- ■ paw Billy Pierce in return.
