Orioles Boost League Margin Over Yankees By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer There’s still a lot of the whiz kid left in Robin Roberts. It’s a long 13 years since the veteran right-hander led a young Philadelphia team to the National League pennant, and some of the old speed is gone now. But the comeback pitcher of 1962 seems determined to make the Baltimore Orioles the comeback team of 1963. The Orioles, who finished a disappointing seventh last year after being tabbed as a prime contender for the American League pennant, are taking care to make no mistakes this time around. And Roberts is one of the big reasons they own a bulging 3%game lead over the second-place New York Yankees today. Roberts,-now 36 years old and relying more on craft than speed, registered his fourth straight victory Tuesday night as Baltimore

The board will consider the applicants on their merits, and announce their choice when the decision is made. turned back the Kansas City Athletics, 4-2. It was the Orioles’ ninth straight win and their 14th in their last 15 games since Roberts touched off the streak May 14. AU In Fifth Baltimore scored all its runs in the fifth inning when John Orsino singled, moved to second on Roberts’ sacrifice and scored on Luis Aparicio’s double. Jerry Adair followed with an infield hit and Al Smith drove in three runs with his seventh homer. Roberts, who lost his first four games this year, pitched shutout ball for seven innings but tired in the eighth and needed relief from Dean Stone and Stu Miller. Roberts left immediately after the game for Springfield, 111., to attend the funeral of his father, who died Sunday. Yankees Lose In other American League contests, the Boston Red Sox walloped the Yankees, 11-6, the Minnesota Twins extended their winning streak to eight games by beating the Washington Senators, 6-3, the Cleveland Indians nipped the Chicago White Sox, 3-2, and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 3-1.

Geiger also collected two singles as he boosted his batting average to 390. Bill Monbouquette gave up home runs to Clete Boyer and Tony Kubek but gained credit for his sixth victory in 10 decisions with ninth-inning help from Dick Radatz. A two-out three-run homer in the ninth inning by Bob Allison gave the Twins their win after the Senators had tied the score in their half of the ninth with three runs, including a two-run homer by Don Lock. Jim Kaat went the distance for Minnesota and struck out 11 batters to even his recordat 4-4. Ted Abernathy, making his first appearance for the Indians, got Nellie Fox to line into a gameending double play in the ninth inning to save the victory for starter Jack Kralick and enable Cleveland to snap a five-game losing streak.

Wax Blanks Braves, Cuts Giants' Lead -‘By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Sandy Koufax, who made such a big difference last year, is making it again this year, and that difference could amount to $200,000 for the elated Los Angeles Dodgers. The San Francisco Giants picked up approximately that sum for appearing in the 1962 World Series, and the Dodgers can count on at least that much and maybe even more if they win the National League pennant this year. Baseball men generally agree the chief reason the Dodgers didnot win last season was because Koufax was forced to the sidelines with a finger ailment in July. Sandy’s record was 14-4 at the time and he never won another game. The hard-throwing 27-year-old southpaw has a funny notion about his injury of last year. He figures he owes the Dodgers a pennant. Shuts Out Braves Koufax paid anoter installment Tuesday night when he blanked the Milwaukee Braves, 7-0, on six hits to bopst the Dodgers within one game of first place. Sandy lowered his earned run average to 1.51 in posting his fourth shutout and seventh victory against two losses. That puts him even slightly ahead of last year when he didn’t score his seventh victory until May 30. He also had lost two games by then. Never in any real trouble Tuesday night, Koufax struck out eight and walked two but was locked in a scoreless duel with young Denny Lemaster until Frank Howard unloaded his ninth homer in the seventh inning. The Dodgers then broke the game open with six more runs in the ninth off relievers Claude Raymond and Dan Schneider. A trio of hits, three walks, a double steal, a balk and an error contributed to the damage. Reds. Beat Giants Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Reds ripped the Giants, 10-6, the St. Louis Cardinals scored an 8-7 victory over the Houston Colts in 10 innings, the Philadelphia Phils defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates,' 5-1, and the Chicago Cubs downed the New York Mets, 5-2. Robinson Homers • Frank Robinson drove in three runs for the Reds with a double and a homer and Marty Keough also knocked in three to offset Orlando Cepeda’s five RBl’s for the Giants. Cepeda clipped Jim i O'Toole for two doubles, but the Cincy southpaw still registered his eighth victory even though he needed Dom Zanni’s help in the ninth. Jack Fisher was die loser. Curt Flood doubled home the winning run in the 10th inning for the' Cardinals, who trailed the Colts, 7-3, at one point. The Cards tied the score at 7-all with a seventh inning four-run outburst that included doubles by Flood and Leo Burke.

33 Cars Set For 500-Mile Race Thursday INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — In racing parlance, 33 cars were ready today to go like bombs in the 500mile Memorial Day auto race. The fastest field in history qualified for the event, averaging 149.028 miles per hour, and the pole-winner and probably pace setter, Parnelli Jones, set records for both one lap at 151.847 and 151.153 for the 10-mile distance. Even the slowest driver in the field, Dempsey Wilson, qualified at 147.832, well ahead of Rodger Ward’s 500-mile record of 140.293 last year. Every pilot in the field was expecting a hell-bent dash from the starting gun at noon, EDT Thursday. "The way to run this race will be to go just as fast as you can for just as long as you can,” Johnny Boyd declared. Predicts New Mark Boyd predicted the winner would average 146 m.p.h., barring accidents which would bring out the yellow flag, slowing the field and forcing -each driver to hold his position in relation to every other car. Troy Ruttman, one of four former winners in the field, anticipated a speed of 147 m.p.h. might be necessary to win, if given a constant green light for all-out charging. General speculation was that Jones, who set a scorching pace from his pole position last year until his brakes failed and slowed him to a seventh-place finish, again would set the tenor of the chase. It was believed he would settle to a pace around 149 or 150 m.p.h., unless the chargers behind him force an even fater speed. Bobby Marshman said he had run more than 20 laps, after he qualified, at speeds between 149 and 150, indicating he expected to hit that pace and perhaps faster if necessary to stay in contention. Hard On Engines Such speeds, Marshman admitted, would put a terrific strain on the motors and chassis of the race cars and could turn the race into an endurance run to prove the ability of pit crews and mechanics in preparing and keeping a car running. Another speculative entry was the pair of Lotus-Fords built by England's Colin Chapman and driven by Scotsman Jimmy Clark and Dan Gurney. Running on regular gasoline and capable of much better fuel mileage than the alcohol-powered breeds, the LotusFord crew publicly announced they expected to finish the 500 miles on one pit stop.
