Pappas Hurls Baltimore To 1-0 Victory By United Press International J Milt Pappas’ real name is Miltiades Stergios Papastedgios and there are times he's tougher to hit than he is to pronounce. Tuesday night happened to be one of those times. The 23-year-old Greek righthander mowed down the Minnesota Twins as if they were tenpins, 80 of his 110 pitches being strikes, in a five-hit 1-0 victory that kept the Baltimore Orioles atop the American League. Pappas pitched superlatively ih striking out eight batters without giving up a single walk. “He started with good stuff and got better as he went along,” said Manager Billy Hitchcock. “He kept the ball down all night.” A’s Beat Tigers Southpaw Dick Stigman of the Twins pitched well, too; but not . quite well enough as the Orioles put together singles by Brooks Robinson and Joe Gaines and Jerry Adair’s sacrifice fly for the only run of the game in the second inning. The up-and-coming Kansas City A’s took over second place with a 3-1 triumph over the Detroit Tigers and the Los Angeles Angels nipped the Washington Senators, • 5-4, in 10 innings. The only other game scheduled between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees was postponed because of wet grounds. In the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers shaded the Milwaukee Braves, 2-1; the San Francisco Giants downed the Cincinnati Reds, 4-2; the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates. 7-2, and the St. Louis CARDINALS routed the Houston Colts, 15-0. Strikes Out Nine Ex-Dodger Ed Rakow struck out nine Detroit batters and did not issue a single walk in gaining his second victory for Kansas City with a five-hitter. Errors by Bubba Morton and Dick McAuliffe helped the A’s score three unearned runs off Phil Regan. Norm Cash homered for the Tigers. Jim Fregosi was the man of the hour in the Angels’ victory over the Senators. The 21-year-old shortstop helped Los Angeles tie the score with a ninth inning single and then won the game with a 10th inning homer off former Yankee Jim Coates.

Frank Howard Homers In 9th For Dodger Win By MILTON RICHMAN UPI SPORTS WRITER Frank Howard finally has put on glasses and suddenly the Los Angeles Dodgers can see a much rosier future ahead. . Wearing the specs at bat for the first time Tuesday night, the 6- Howard hammered a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to break up a tie and give the Dodgers a 2-1 victory over the Braves. Howard had considered putting on glasses for some time but did not decide to wear them until shortly before Tuesday night's contest. From the point of view of the Dodgers, who have been having their troubles lately, the big outfielder couldn’t have picked a better time. Even though they won, the Dodgers still had their troublesThey collected only two hits, one off starter Bob Shaw and the other off loser Claude Raymond. Koufax Injured They also may have lost their ace southpaw, Sandy Koufax, for a while. Koufax, who was sidelined for half the season last year with a finger ailment, suffered a muscle spasm in his left shoulder Tuesday night and was forced to leave after blanking the Braves on two hits' for 6 2-3 innings. Sandy entrusted a 1-0 lead to Ron Perraoski, who nursed it until the top of the ninth when Hank Aaron cracked out his fifth homer of the season to tie the score. And merely to make sure the game had everything, Milwaukee Manager Bobby Bragan announced the Braves were playing under protest in the third inning. Bragan got his dander up over two successive balks called on Shaw by plate umpire Augie Donatelli. Giants Beat Reds San Francisco beat Cincinnati, 4- Chicago defeated Pittsburgh, 7- and St. Louis crushed Houston, 15-0, in the other scheduled National League games. In the American League, Baltimore nipped Minnesota, 1-0, Kansas City downed Detroit, 3-1, and Los Angeles edged Washington, 5- in 10 innings. Wet grounds caused postponement of the Bos-ton-New York game. Jua Marichal Staved off a ninth inning rally by the Reds before wrapping up his second victory for the Giants on a sixhitter. Vada Pinson singled home Frank Robinson with one out in the ninth and Marichal then struck out both Leo Cardenas and Marty Keough. Jesse Gonder hit a pinch homer for the Reds in the eighth. Orlando Cepeda collected three of the Giants’ 10 hits. Southpaw Joe Nuxhall was the loser. Homer Wrecks Pirates Jim Shaffer's three-run homer off loser Don .Cardwell capped a six-run fourth inning rally that clinched the Cubs’ win over the Pirates. Larry Jackson struck out nine batters and gave up eight hits before a shivering “crowd” of 968, smallest to watch a game in Pittsburgh since 1943. Ernie Broglio registered his second victory ofr the Cardinals with a two-hitter over the Colts and coasted home after his teammates built up a 7-0 lead bjt the fourth inning. The Cards bombed loser Jim Golden and three Colt relievers for 17 hits, including four by Bill White. International League Games Frozen Out By United Press International It was too cold for baseball in the International League Tuesday night. Only two games were scheduled —Richmond at Indianapolis and Buffalo at Columbus. Both were postponed because of a Midwest cold snap. Warns On Reported Repairman In Area Adams county sheriff Roger Singleton cautioned Decatur and Adams county schools today of a man posing as a repairman of band instruments, physical education equipment, etc., who is believed to be working in the area.
