Elroy Face Has Record Streak For Relievers By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Here’s a toast to pint-sized Elroy Face, who now owns the longest winning streak of any re- — lief pitcher in major league history. The five-foot - eight, 150-pound Face, sometimes called “Little Bit” by his Pittsburgh teammates, won his 12th straight game without a loss Thursday when Roman Mejias’ two-run homer in the 12th inning gave the Pirates a 3-1 decision over San Francisco. » Dating back to May 30, 1958, Face has won 17 in a row, a , record no other reliever can touch. t Closest ones to him are exCardinals Howie Krist and Ted Wilks. Krist, who started occasionally and was not strictly a relief pitcher, had a 10-0 record for the Cards in 1941 and won his first three games in 1942 before the Phillies beat him. Wilks was 8-0 in 1946, and 4-0 in 1947, but then lost his first game to the Reds in 1948. Held Giants Scoreless Face«entered Thursday’s gathe with the Giants in the 10th and held them scoreless on two hits over the last three innings after starter Harvey Haddix had yielded a third-inning homer to Ed Bressoud over the first nine. The loser was rookie Eddie Fisher, who relieved starter Stu Miller in the 12th. The defeat left the second-place Giants two games behind the league-leading Braves, who lost to the Cardinals, 3-2. The Cubs downed the Reds, 6-2. and the Dodgers made it four in a row over the Phillies, 5-2. Cleveland widened its American League lead to a full game by defeating Baltimore, 3-2; the White Sox bounced back into second place by beating the Senators, 4-1; the Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 10-5 triumph over the Red *- Sox, and the Yankees climbed back into fourth place with a 5-4 victory over the Athletics. Card Runs Unearned All of the Cardinals’ runs against the Braves were unearned. Second baseman Felix Mantilla set up the first two runs with an error in the sixth and an error by right fielder Hank Aaron figured in the Cards’ third run. Aaron hit his 21st homer in the third.

Cincinnati relievers Orlando Pena and Willard Schmidt for four more runs in the eighth. „ Don Drysdale pitched a three- - hitter and also hit a home run against the Phillis as the Dodgers moved to within one percentage point of the second-place Giants. Franco.a Hite Two Homers * Tito Francona hit two homers against his former Oriole teammates to lead the Indians to victory.

Bad Weather Still Threat To Big Fight By JACK CUDDY United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — Wetweather forecasts today threatened the unlucky Floyd PattersonJhgenaar Johansson heavyweight tiue light with another’ postponement. The weather bureau said there were chances of thundershowers tonight and Saturday night. Promoter Bill Rosensohn, already at odds with the New York State Athletic Commission over ticket refunds after the first 24-hour postponement said he would decide “early” whether another shift to Saturday or Monday was necessaryThursday’s postponement of the 15-round bout between champion Patterson and Swedish Johansson, champion of Europe, was caused J>y rain and wet grounds at Yankee Stadium.Many Sought Refunds After the switch was announced, many ticket holders sought refunds at the fight ticket-office on Broadway; but most of the requests were rejected. Rosensohn said then, “there’ll be no refunds while this fight is still scheduled to be held.” Ticket prices range from $lO to SIOO. Chairman Melvin Krulewitch of the Athletic Commission notified Rosensohn’s secretary, Mrs. Doris Carnot, “the box office would have to refund,” — she said. Buxom Mrs. Carnot said that innocently and sweetly Thursday night at a news conference, much to Rosensohn’s surprise, after he had asked her about Krulewitch's visit. Both Fighters Limber Up Rosensohn said, “if the fight is held tonight, there'll be. refunds only in hardship cases—where out-of-town visitors have airplane tickets and must return immeditely to their homes.” Meanwhile, Patterson and Johansson remained at their hotels, where they took limbering exercises late Thursday. They need fiot weigh-in again unless the bout is shifted to next week. At Thursday’s ceremony in the Commodore Hotel, Ingemar weighed 196 pounds to Floyd’s 182, for an adventage of 14. Patterson was still favored at 5-1 in very light betting. If Rosensohn could get some good weather before tonight, the delay and its resultant publicity might help the gate,* said. He estimated the advance sale at $500,000.
