Maris Returns To Team, Homer Wins For Yanks By FRED DOWN I'PI Sports Writer Everything’s “Roger” today with the New York Yankees. Substitute straight baseball language for the Air Force lingo and that simply means that Roger Maris is back in the lineup and the world champions have a “big bomber” look again. The modern home run king returned to the Yankee batting order Friday night alter missing the first eight games of the America League season and celebrated with a game-winning ninthining homer that sent New York on to an 8-4 win over the Washington Senators. Elston Howard had preceded the blast with a homer and the Yanks went on to score five runs and present relief pitcher Luis Arroyo with his first victory of the season. Arroyo was pitching in relief of Stan Williams, who gave up three runs in 7 1-3 inings in his second start as a Yankee. Tigers Drop Two The Boston Red Sox dealt the Detroit Giers 3-1 and 5-1 losses,, the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins, 3-1, the Baltimore Orioles downed the Cleveland Indians, 8-5, and the Kansas City Athletics swept a doubleheader from the Los Angeles Angels, winning both games by 3-2 scores in other American League games. In the National League, the New York Mets edged the Milwaukee Braves, 5-4, the St. Louis Cardinals beat Philadelphia 5-1, the Los Ageles Dodgers defeated the Houston Colts, 2-0, and the San Francisco Giants toppled the Chicago Cubs, 5-1. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh were rained out. Howard led off the ninth with a homer that broke a 3-3 tie and Maris, sidelined until Friday with a muscle injury, followed with a drive into the left Centerfield bullpen. The Senators rallied for a fourth run in their half of the ninth. Reliever Jim Duckworth was the loser. Socks Two Homers Eddie Bressoud hit two homers

Celtics Beat Lakers For Big 3-1 Margin LOS ANGELES <UPD — The Boston Celtics look today like they've got a lock on their fifth ■ National Basketball Association <NBAi championship and it seems they may wont to win it for old Bob Cousy who is retiring. No team in the history of the NBA has won five championships but the Celtics, sparked by large Bill Russell, beat the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night, 108-105, to take a lead of three games to one in the best-of-seven championship series. A partisan crowd of 15.382 cheered in vain for a Laker victory at the Sports Arena. One more victory and the Celts are in. and Cousy can retire to take over as coach of the Boston College team. The 34-year-old Cousy did not have a good night in the Celtic victory—but guys like Russell, Sam Jones and Tom Heinsohn filled in Game No. 5 will be played in Boston Sunday in the marathon cross-country series and the Celts may very well sew up their fifth straight title on their home court. in the first game and Ike Delock pitched a two-hitter in the second as the Red Sox won their Patriots’ Day morning and afternoon contests with the Tigers. Gene Conley went 7 2-3 innings to win the opener for the Sox. Dick Stuart’s double and Lou Clinton’s triple were the big blows of a four-run sixth-inning rally that won the second game. Phil Regan and Frank Lary were the losing pitchers. Juan Pizzaro pitched a five, hitter and struck out nine for the White Sox, who dealt Minnesota’s Camilo Pascual his third straight defeatA homer by Al Smith and a double by Russ Snyder featured a five-run eighth-inning hally that enabled Baltimore's Wes Stock to post his second win in relief. Norm Siebern and George Alusik hit homers for Kansas City in the first game as Orlando Pena went seven innings for his second win. The Athletics won the nightcap when Ed Charles’ single with the bases filled drove in Gino Cimoli. Bo Belinsky and Bob Turley were the losing pitchers.

Mets Register First Win Os Season Friday Bv FRED DOWN L’Pf Sports Writer The most important figures in the National League today—far more significant than the mere standings—show that Sandy Koufax has struck out 28 batters and allowed only 12 hits in 23 innings. Add ’em up and they mean that the Los Angeles Dodgers’ southpaw firebailer is fully recovered from the finger injury that cost the Dodgers the 1962 penant and almost ended Sandy's career. They also mean that despite a faltering start the Dodgers are A-l set for the long haul with Koufax and Do Drysdale to fire away as the league’s best 1-2 pitching punch. Koufax, sidelined virtually the entire second half ot the 1962 season and winless after July 12, struck out 14 batters and pitched a two-hitter Friday night to give the Dodgers a 2-0 victory over the Houston Colts. The ratio of strikeouts to innings pitched has always been the way to judge Koufax because of his blinding speed. He struck out an NL record of 269 batters in 256 innings in 1961 and had 216 strikouts in 184 innings when he had a 14-4 record halfway through the 1962 campaign. The San Francisco Giants defeated the Chicago Cubs, 5-1, the New York Mets broke into the win column with a 5-4 victory over tht Milwaukee Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-1, in other NL games. Cincinati and Pittsburgh were rained cutin the American League, the New York Yankees defeated the Washington Senators, 8-4, the Boston Red Sox beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-1 and 5-1, the Chicago I Sox topped the Minnesota Twins, 3-1, the Baltimore Orioles scored an 8-5 victory over the Cleveland Indians and the Kansas City Athletics swept the Los Agneles Ani gels, 3-2, in both games of a doubleheader. Willie Mays hit his third homer of the season and Juan Marichal pitched a six-hitter for the Giants, who regained sole possession of first place with their seventh victory in nine games. The Mets ended their eightgame season-opening losing streak I with a two-run ninth-inning rally > climaxed when rookie Ron Hunt I singled home Choo Choo Coleman and Jim Hickman. Ed Kranepool I homered for the Mets whil Hank j Aaron hit the 300th circuit of his : career for the Braves, whose seven-game winning streak went down the drain. Curt Simmons beat the Phillies for the 11th. time in 12 tries since they traded him in May, 1960, with a nine-hit, seven-strikeout efj fort.

WHY FEWER BABIES BIE TODAY Fifty years ago, one out of every 10 babies died during its first year of life. Today, infant mortality during that first year has declined to only one out of 40 babies. Much of the credit for this huge drop belongs to the potent drugs that help defenseless infants to fight the diseases that once meant certain death. That's why we say .. .
