Dodgers Beat Phillies Pair To Gain Lead By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer. Maybe it's sheer fantasy r like something right out of Disneyland, but van you picture an allLqs Angeles World Series this coming October? If you were able to last April, and were willing to put your money where your imagination was, you’d sure be sitting pretty right now. \ - Not only would you be rubbing your hands with the Dodgers atop the National League, but you’d also be rubbing your eyes at the sight of those amazing Angels in a virtual tie for the American League lead. The Dodgers seized the NL lead with 5-1 and 4-0 victories over the Philadelphia Phillies Monday night, with southpaw Johnny Podrcs equalling a major league strikeout record during the opener of a twi-night doubleheader. And the ragamuffin Angels remained within four mere percentage ’ points of the pace-setting Yankees when Bob Rodgers belted a ninth inning homer for a 2-1 triumph ovfcr the Washington Senators. Ties Strikeout Record Podres tied the major league mark by striking out eight men in a row as he won his fourth game of the season following 10 unsuccessful tries. The Dodger lefty fanned a total of 11 and retired 20 batters in a row before tiring in the eighth and giving way to Larry Sherry. Willie Davis hit a grand slam homer for the Dodgers, who then coasted to victory in the nightcap on Stan Williams’ seven-hit pitching. Williams put in an exceptionally enjoyable night, striking out eight, walking no one and hitting a home run to gain his seventh victory and first in four weeks. The victory for the Angels marked the ninth time this season they won a game in their last at-bat. Rodgers’ blow came off reliever Steve Hamilton after Steve Bilko had homered in the sixth for the Angels’ first run. Reliever Tom Morgan was the winner. Casey Stengel’s Mets knocked the Giants out of first place by beating them, 8-5, the Milwaukee Braves bowled over the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-3, the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Houston Colts, 4-2, and Cincinnati split a twi-bill with Chicago, the Cubs winning the opener, 6-5, and the 1 Reds the nightcap, 4-3.

Gardner, a rising amateur star from New York City, used a putter from 25 feet off the green to roll his ball up a four foot hill and into the cup to capture the 6th annual pro-am tournament on Monday at St. George’s golf course. His decisive shot, on the parfour, 380-yard first hole left the gallery of 7,000 stunned, but they cheered the U. S. team even though it had upset the strongest team Canada ever fielded in Carling Cup play. Putter A Must “I had to use the putter,” Gardner said, “because the lie was flat and the wedge wouldnit have done it.” The gallery was expecting an American victory in the playoff but thought Dow Finsterwald would be the one responsible for it. Finsterwald, who shared a winner’s purse of $3,000 with the other three U. S. pros, put his second shot six feet from the pin. After the Canadian players, Al Balding and Phil Brownlee, parked the hole, it was Gardner’s turn but no one expected him to sink it in one shot. The tournament went into sudden-death play when the four best-ball matches, each pairing a pro and an amateur from Canada against a similar United States team, ended in a 6-6 tie; Points were awarded on the Nassau system: One for the best ball on the first nine, one for the back nine and one for the overall 18 holes. Early Lead For U. S. Americans Julius Boros and Charlie Kocsis got the United States off to an early lead when they took two and one-half points from favored Nick Weslock and Gordie Brydson. Canada went ahead when George Knudson and Gary Cowan blanked Ernie Vossler and Ed Meister, 3-0.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY UPI Sports Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) —Major league baseball is withering on the vine today by killing off the minor league goose which laid those gold-producing turnstiles but pro football is preparing solidly to protect its ever-increasing stature. The answer for pro football, which up to now has depended on the colleges to furnish its star ammunition, is a minor league system which this season will work with eight clubs. Indicative of the trend, there were only six of these teams last year. “And within five years,” says George T. Gareff, a personable Columbus attorney who is commissioner of the United Football League, “we believe we will have fodr leagues of six teams each spreading from coast to coast.” As example of how valuable “minor” leagues can become to the gaudy future of pro football, from that one little six-tem league last year a total of 39 players “graduated” id the big leagues of the gridiron — the National and American Leagues in the United States as well as the Canadian League. 16 Players Moved Up “Just as an indication of how valuable we can be to the major leagues of pro football,” Gareff explained, “sixteen of those players who moved up were former sandlotters who never played college ball.” This has been one of the insects in the ointment, as far as the top. pro leagues were co n - cerned. For instance, the Baltimore Colts developed a star Hamad* Big Daddy '■ Lipscomb Who was a* sandlotter. But it’s a gamble. There’s another facet which is difficult to believe but when your All-Americans come out of college they still aren’t ripe for the rigors of pro football. “They still need that professional experience,” says Joe Foss, commissioner of the American Football League. “Many, coaches feel that top ranking players who have all the talents to make it big in pro football are played in the wrong position in college. “Before entering the top echelon of pro football, they need experience at their new positions. Sort of like hoW;- the baseball teams send a shortstop down to the minors to convert him into an ourfielder. You can’t learn it on the bench. You have to do it on the playing field.” Has Good Coaching And the United Football League — which will go this season with teams in Chicago, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Grand Rapids, Wheeling, Louisville and Indianapolis — has the type of coaching necessary to these boys, Head coaches include such as Ed Sprinkle, Bob Snyder, Chet Mutryn, Ken Carpenter and Gene Gedman. Backing up Gareff’s optimism is the fact that applications already are on file for 1963 from such cities as Rochester, N.Y., Jackson and Flint, Mich., an d South Bend, Ind. These will be considered at a league meeting July 14 and 15, at which there also will be discussion of 1964 applications from Nashville, Chattanooga and Memphis. "We’re moving ahead rapidly,” Gareff enthuses, “but we’re doing ft on a solid basis. Players are no problem but we put it up to each city ■as a civic gesture. I don’t want people to think this is just a scheme to make money. If it will hurt busings; should they lose money on this venture, We don’t want them in ft. But if;they feel they owe their «ity something and want to do something for their city, these are the people we want.” There are, quite apparently, a lot of such people. And pro ffljftball, just reaching its golden years, has to benefit from it.

Musial Named 19th Time To All-Star Team CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI) — Stan (the man) Musial, walloping the ball at a .330 clip despite the fact he’s 41 years old, was picked today for a record 19th time to be a member of the National League All-Star team that will meet, the American League at Washington, July 10. Manager Fred Hutchinson of the pennant - winning Cincinnati Rgfts, skipper of the NL team, today exercised his right to pick ihe squad’s reserves and pitchers — and in general stuck pretty close to the voting by the league players that picked the starting llheup. Hutch came up with one surprise — Sandy (No Hit) Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers was the only southpaw among the seven pitchers he selected. Selection No Surprise But the selection of Musial was no surprise. There have been times in ..the past when NL managers were accused of picking Stan the Man simply on sentiment, but this year he is swinging like the Musial of old with a .330 batting average through Sunday's game. MThanks to the recent practice of two All-Star games in one year, Musial has played in a total of 22 classics during the 18 previous i years he was picked. Both figures are records for a player in either major league. Hutchinson today selected seven pitchers and 10 other players to go along with the eight starting players picked by the NL players in their own poll. Ten Represent Coast The NL 25-man squad thus will have a heavy West Coast flavor with 10 players from teams in r that area — five each from the Dodgers and San Francisco Gi - ants. Here is the NL squad: Pitchers (8) — Don Dryadale, Dodgers; Dick Farrell, Houston; Bob Gibson, St. Louis; Sandy Koufax, Dodgers; Juan Marichal, Giants; Bob Puikey, Cincinnati; Bob Shaw, Milwaukee. Catchers (2) — Del Crandall, Milwaukee; John Roseboro, Dodgers. Infielders (8) — Ernie Banks, Chicago; Frank Bolling, Milwaukee;; Ken Boyer, St. Louis; Orlando Cepeda, Giants; /im Davenport, Giants; Dick Groat, Pittsburgh; Bill Maaeroski, PittsQUALITY PHOTO FINISHING All Work Left Before Noon on Thursday Ready the Next Day, Friday, HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.
