Koufax Fans 18 Giants As Dodgers Win By FRED DOWN United Press International I It took Sandy Koufax ? long I time to develop but now that he 'has it may be just in time to put I the Los Angeles Dodgers in the [World Series. A 23-year-oki left-hander from 'Brooklyn who got a $25,000 bonus 'in 1955 and once sprained an ankle when he “tripped over a foul line.” Koufax Monday night pitched his way into the record book and the Dodgers to within one game of first place in the National League with a spectacular 5-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants. A crowd of 82,794 at Los Angeles, including 60,194 paid, saw the 210-pound southpaw strike 1 out 18 batters to equal the major (league mark set by Bob Feller J Oct. 2, 1938. and break the National League record of 17 held Iby Dizzy Dean since 1933. Since he struck out 13 batters in his (previous start a week ago, Kou- | fax also set a major league record of 31 strikeouts in two consecutive games. Defeat Loomed Koufax’ great effort appeared doomed to end in defeat—even as Feller’s 18-strikeout effort did in 1938—until the last of the ninth when Wally's Moon’s three-run homer off Al Worthington gave : the Dodgers their 11th win in 19 I I meetings with the Giants this ’ season. The Dodgers had tied the score in the eighth with the help of two wild pitches by Jack Sanford. The supreme irony of Koufax’ victory from the Giants' point of view was that he actually led off the game-winning rally with a ! single. From the moment he joined the Dodgers in '55, Koufax has been recognized as one of the weakest hitters in the history of the major leagues. Jim Gilliam followed Koufax’ inning-opening single with another single and San Francisco Manager Bill Rigney immediately replaced Sanford with Worthington. Moon, the first batter Worthington faced, then connected for the game-winning blast. The Giants scored their first run off Koufax in the first inning on doubles by Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda and their second in the fifth on Willie McCovey’s eighth homer of the season. Yields Seven Hite Koufax, who has struck out 150 batters in 127 innings while fashioning an 8-4 record, struck out the side in order in the sixth and ninth innings and also sandwiched three strikeouts around McCovey’s homer in the fifth. He yielded seven hits and walked two batters. “I had two good pitches working for me tonight,” Koufax said. 1 “A fast ball and a curve. It was my best game and my luckiest.” The victory was the fourth in their last five games for the Dodgers while the loss was the Giants’ fifth in six games. Pete Runnels' lOth-inning homer . gave the Boston Red Sox a 4-3 victory over the Washington Senators in the only other major league game piay'ed Monday. Mike Fornieles picked up his fourth win for Boston in relief of Bill Monbouquette. Jackie Jensen homered for the Red Sox in the fourth inning to lift his runs batted in total for the year to 95. License Suspended 15 Days In Ohio Rex Cleo Painter, 17, son of Cleo R. Painter of Willshire, 0., was cited to juvenile court Aug. 16 by city police of Celina, 0., to answer to charges of reckless operation of a motor vehicle. His driver’s license was suspended 15 days and he was assessed the costs of the action. [| ■. ■■ - 6-1 AME.

By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD—The Spanish. too, have a word for it—and in the case of Senor Alfonso Ramon Lopez of the Chicago White Sox it is “risa.” Which means the last laugh. And which, it becomes more apparent each succeeding day, the quiet man of Castilian parents is going to have on the doubting American League this season. Because not too long ago they were predicting the axe for the good senor even if he was lucky enough to finish second — once again. f Lopez, it was said, was on his way out. And, they shrugged, what could any man do with such a rag-tag band of hitless, aging misfits? Senor Al’s records as a catcher are dimmed by a decade of riding the managerial bench as well as by his reputation as a perennial second place finisher. Oh, he | had the catching records and still does, having caught more games I than any, other man, a total of 1,918 in 18 years. Finished Second Nine Times I But his If years as a manager,' eight of them in the majors, put his playing career in the shade. Because in nine of those 11 years, Lopez-managed teams have finished second nine times. There was one pennant and even that ended in World Series disaster as his Cleveland Indians were shutout by the 1954 Giants. Two years later, after two more second place finishes, Lopez walked out of Cleveland without a single dissenting murmur from then General Manager Hank I Greenberg. “There was a feeling I should have done better,” he explained. “The tension was terrific.” But the lure was too great and by the next season he was with Chicago —for another pair of second place finishes. Provoking the talk this season that another runnerup spot, if he was that, lucky, still would mean his demise. No Pep Talks Yet the good senor currently is proving that “nice guys” don’t have to finish last. Lopez, whose parents emigrated from Madrid to his native Tampa, Fla., handles his players “like human beings and adults.” There are no pep talks and no public dressings down. “I treat them as I always wanted to be treated,” he shrugs. “Pep talks may be all right in football, where you have to get your team ‘up’ for a few games. But over the long baseball season it is better if they are relaxed. And, after all, they are adults and. even when I think they make a mistake, I like to hear their reasoning. Maybe they’re right and I’m wrong.” The payoff usually has been maximum production with a minimum of talent.
U.S. Piling Up Gold Medals In Pan Americans CHICAGO (UPI) — The United States was piling up gold medals at a record pace in the Pan American Games today. With 30 championships decided, U.S. athletes had won 26 of them and were favored to win most of the nine on the program for the fifth day of competition in this athletic carnival between the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Monday, led by two Californians, Ray Norton of Oakland and Mrs. Earlene Brown of Los Angeles, each with a second triumph, the U.S. won eight of nine titles decided. Norton, in world record tying time for the run around a turn, won the 200 meter dash to add to the 100 meter crown he had taken the previous day. The husky Mrs. Brown added the shot put championship to the discus title she had won previously. Six Sweeps In Track They brought the total U.S. victories to 16 in the 18 track and field events which have been decided, and in 12 of them, the U.S. set new records for the Pan American Games. They have scored six sweeps in track — first, second and third places — with every nation limited to three entries in the events. Three of them came Monday. It wasn’t only in track and field that the U.S. was doing well. It won two more weightlifting titles — Tommy Kono of Honolulu in the middleweight class and James George of Akron, Ohio, in the heavy-middleweight class — and two in the English rifle shooting competition. Arthur Cook of Adelphi, Mo., won the individual title in that event and the U.S. took the team championship. Basketball Team Wins In track and field, the U.S. had two winners in addition to Norton and Mrs. Brown. Al Oerter of West Babylon, N.Y., won the men’s discus, and Hayes Jones of Pontiac, Mich., took the 110 meter hurdles. In team competition the U.S. was doing okay, too. Its basketball teams won their third consecutive game, the men ’beating Cuba 114-46 and the women defeating Brazil 55-38. In soccer the U.S. upset Brazil, 5-3; in water polo it was the U.S. 8, Brazil 2; in women’s volleyball Puerto Rico was the victim 3-0; the same score by which the men beat Puerto Rico.

Aussies Regain Davis Cup On Fraser's Win FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (UPD— Neale Fraser of Australia, who won the Davis Cup for his country with an easy conquest of big Barry Mac Kay, emerged today as the favorite for the National Singles tennis championships which start Friday. Fraser needed only two sets Monday to take the cup back to Australia, adding them to the set he had won Sunday evening for an 8-6, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Mac Kay. It gave the Aussies the deciding point in a 3-2 triumph over the United States. “This will be known ss ‘Fraser’s Davis Cup’ ”, said the nonplaying Aussie captain, Harry Hopman. “He won both his singles

and shared In the doubles. You can’t do any better?’ v ' •Fraser, at 25 a veteran ot seven years of international tennis, slowed his service somewhat from his Sunday pace and gained in accuracy. Mac Kay, a 6-3, 185-pound-er, relied as usual on his power game and his big serve failed, him. The Dayton, Ohio, slugger was broken twice in Monday’s first set, as he contributed three doublefaults in the first break and two in the other. He was broken again in the 10th game of the last set, and again hurt himself with a doublefault. “Fraser played as never before,” said Hopman. “But I still would not say he is now the world's, best Alex Olmedo, playing as he did at Wimbledon, must be considered. I would say they are 50-50. The Nationals should show which is the better man. Most of the experts who watched the cup play felt that Fraser should be a clear favdrite for the Nationals. Olmedo was unimpressive and far off his Wimbledon form.
