First Win By Hets Is First Pirate Defeat Quit? Not on your life! Casey Stengel is just getting started back on the winning road again. “It’s great to be a winner,” quipped Casey Monday night when his downtrodden New York Mets finally broke a nightmarish nine-game losing streak and won their first game in history by beating the first-place Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-1. By one of those baseball coincidences, it was also the first defeat of the season for the Pirates, who had tied a modern major league record by winning their first 10 in a row. But even before his amazing Mets, as Stengel calls them, overpowered the Pirates on Jay Hook’s fine five-hit pitching, Casey made it plain he will stick it out to the bitter end. “I have no intention of quitting,” the 71-year-old Casey insisted. “I’m gonna see this thing through and I’m not gonna give up.” Players Mob Hook Hook, a 25-year-old right-hander picked up from the Cincinnati Beds in last October’s expansion draft, was mobbed by the joyous Met players .after his victory just as if he had won the final game of the World. Series. “He deserves all the credit,” Stengel said. “He stuck right in there until end and he looked like he couid;go on all night.” Had the Ifdts lost, they would have set a''National League record for successive defeats at th&. qirtset of a season, but as it turhed out they came up with their' greatest run total of the young season and Hook became the first Met pitcher to go the route. ’ Hook, who Walked dhly one batter and struck ont.tWo, aided his own cause with a oases-loaded single during a fqur-run second inning rally. Loser Tom Sturdivant also gave up two runs in the first franyj. 1 Giants, Dodgers Win In other NSttlWah League?! games, the iMWjcisco Giants | beat the Cincinnati Beds, 4-1, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Milwaukee Braves, 5-2.

Southpaw Billy Pierce scored his second straight victory over the Reds with a seven-hit effort for ttte Giants. Cincinnati catcher Hank Foiles.was the “goat,” committing a passed ball with the bases loaded' in the first inning and throwing wildly to first with the bases full again in the second while trying to pick off Willie Mays.

John Roseboro and Willie Davis hit hpmers for the Dodgers, Davis’ wallop coming on a “second chance.”.

Innovation In ProFoolball Set Saturday JERSEY CITY, N.J. (UPD— Professional football Will take on a radically new took Saturday night when two seven-man teams meet here in an indoor game. A crowd of 3,500 persons is the sponsor’s hope for what is being billed as the inaugural game of the new Metropolitan Indoor Football League. James J. McManus Jr., general manager of the league, said today that Saturday’s tilt between two newly-created teams from Npwgrk and'Jersey City -was all part of an experiment. If it succeeds, it could mean the start of an indoor football season in the East next year, which would run from January to ApriL Many Innovations Although most of the tans witnessing this Saturday’s inaugural won’t have much troubte recognizing the sport as football, they are bound to be talking about the game’s innovations.' For one thing, each team will have only seven men, instead of the traditional 11. The playing field, instead of being of grass, will be a portable floor made of foam rubber. Each player will wear sneakers instead of the usual cleats. There also will be innovations in the way the game is played. The playing area, for example, will be 20 yards shorter than the outdoor 100-yard field. The goal posts will hang from the ceiling. And because of the possibility of a football bouncing off the roof, there will be no punting. Promises Interesting Game But McManus insists that the Innovations will make the game more interesting. With only seven men, he says, there will be more running, passing and blocking and the play will move much faster than outdoor football.

British Racing Star Seriously Injured WIMBLETON, England (UPD— Britain’s top racing star Stirling Moss was unconscious and in serious condition today in a hospital here with head injuries suffered when his speeding Lotus skidded off a track and smashed into an embankment. — A hospital bulletin issued this morning said Moss had suffered “quite a severe head injury.” It said his left shoulder and left knee joint were injured and one rib was fractured. “His condition since admission has shown slight but definite improvement, although he has not yet regained consciousness and there is no question of an operation at the present time,” the bulletin 1 said. Moss, 32, was first rushed by ambulance to the Royal West Sussex Hospital at Chichester and then transferred to Atkinson Morley Hospital late Monday night. Moss, perhaps the highest paid race driver in the world, flew off the truck during the 35th lap of Mbnday’s 100-mile race. He was ginned in his car’s wreckage for about 20 minutes before rescuers freed him by using special cutiers. Moss went off the track at the hazardous St. Mary's Corner while his car was zooming along at close to 100 miles an hour. Moss was in second place at the time behind Britain's Graham Hill, who was the. eventual winner. A jammed throttle was believed to have caused the crash.

Bobby Nichols Wins Houston Meet Playoff HOUSTON (UPI) - Bobby Nichols, with a 99000 check from the Houston Classic in his pocket, was a happy young man today as he packed his golf clubs for a trip to San Antonio and the Texas Open. The 26-year-old Kentucky native could look forward to an additional $5750 in prizes from equipment manufacturers because of his playoff victory in the classic Monday over Dan Sikes and Jack Nicklaus. Nichols eagled the 19th hole at Memorial Park to beat Sikes, after the pair had tied with 71s over the 18-hole playoff. Nicklaus* 75 dropped him out of the final playoff. Biggest Paydays The three newcomers on the PGA tour, leaders with identical 278 s over the regulation 72 holes, all had the biggest payday of their career. Nicklaus and Sikes got S3BOO each for their official second-place tie. Nichols, who didn’t get started going good until a squall blew in as the threesome played the 15th hole, was three strokes behind Sikes at one point Monday. Nicklaus, former U.S. Amateur champion from Ohio State, got behind the other two quickly and never caught up. Sikes Bogeys Two With Sikes, a Florida lawyer on his second year of the tour, leading him by three strokes, Nichols pushed a 10 - foot birdie putt through the rain on the 18th hole. Sikes bogeyed the same hole. Then on the 17th, Nichols made up the stroke he needed when Sikes three-putted for another bogey. Leaving Nicklaus behind, Nichols and Sikes moved onto the No. i 1 hole again to decide the chain-1
