' Just about every baseball expert predicted that the Dodgers .would be in' pennant contention this season. But how many forecast that the grab-bag Angels would be battling for a place as high as sixth in the American League at this stage of the race? When the Angels rallied to beat the Cleveland Indians Friday night, 8-5, it was their 19th victory in the last 28 games. That amounts to a .679 pace since June 21, which happens to be higher than the won-lost percent-; ages of either league-leader at present. The Drtdgers haven’t exactly been dawdling, either. Their 6-4 Victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday night was their sixth straight and their 10th in the last 11 games. During that stretch, they’ve narrowed the Cincinnati Reds’ first-place margin from six games to its present one. Dodgers Keep Pace The Dodgers failed to gain ground last night despite their victory, for the Reds had edged the Chicago Cubs, 4-3, in the afternoon. In other National League games, the San Francisco Giants split a doubleheader with the Philadelphia Phils, winning the opener, 8-5. then dropping the nightcap, 4-3; and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Braves, 6-2. Both the league-leading New York Yankees and second-place Detroit Tigers lost in the American League. The Baltimore Orioles blanked the Yankees, 4-0, and the Minnesota Twins edged the Tigers, 4-3. The Boston Red Sox trounced the Chicago White Sox, 8-3, and the Washington Senators beat the Kansas City Athletics, 10-6. Lefty Johnny Podres won his 13th game for the Dodgers, although he needed help from Dick Farrell to retire the last Pittsburgh batter. Duke Snider and Willie Davis hit back-to-back homers in the ninth inning off reiever Roy Face to supply the Dodgers with their eventual margin of victory. Snider’s came with a man on base. Dick Stuart hit a two-run homer for the Pirates. Robinson Homers Twice Frank Robinson drove in three runs with a pair of homers to keep Cincinnati in first place. Reliever Bill Henry saved the game for starter Jim O’Toole when he entered the game in the ninth with runners on first and third.

NFL Games On Television For Fans This Fall NEW YORK (UPD — National Football League fans will still be able to watch their favorite team on television in 1961 despite a federal judge’s ruling that eventually may have far reaching implications regarding televised sports. Federal Judge Allan J .Grim Friday turned down the NFL’s petition to save its 59.3-mlllion two-year contract with the Columbia Broadcasting System after listening to testimony for two days. Grim, who last week voided the contract on grounds it violated the anti-trust laws, pointed to a judgment he first handed down on Dec. 28. 1953 prohibiting the NFL teams from pooling and then selling their television rights. The CBS contract, signed last April 24, gave the network exclusive rights to telecast all league games. However, a league spokesman said today the NFL will televise its 1961 games on the same basis as in 1960, although he was pessi-1 mistic about what might happen a year from now. “Fans will get road games of their home teams this season, but there are no commitments after 1961," he said. “As the league testified for two days in Philadelphia, we feel quite certain that starting in 1962 a goodly number of NFL teams will be without TV for their fans and without the vital TV income necessary to compete on the field.” NFL Commissioner Pete , Rozelle, who said he would need a few days to study Judge Grim’s ruling before announcing the

league’s future course, pleaded the circuit’s case for more than 90 minutes on Thursday. He based his stand on the fact that voiding of the NFL contract' would give a “competitive advantage” to the rival American Football League, which has a similar television contract with the American Broadcasting Company. He also pointed out that the National Basketball Association and the National Collegiate Athletic Association have entered into ex-clusive-type contracts for the televising of their programs. Yet, he observed, none of these groups has received any threat of federal restraint. Second All-Star Umpires Assigned NEW YORK (UPD — Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick today
