Kaline Paces Tigers To Win Over Boston By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Al Kaline may at last have the last laugh on those critics who’ve said he’ll never be a better ball player than he was at 20 years of age. It's been seven full seasons since Kaline won the American League batting title with a .340 average in 1955 and became the youngest batting champion in major league history. He’s had many fine seasons since 1955 but he’s never topped that year for allaround effectiveness. This very well could be the year — in fact, it could be a year in which he silences his critics once and for all by becoming the sixth American Leaguer to win the triple batting crown. Mickey Mantle was the last to do it, in 1956, and the only other AL sluggers who’ve accomplished the feat were Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Jimmy Foxx and Lou Gehrig. Tope In RBl’s

Kaline is currently leading the AL with 45 runs batted in, ranks second in batting with a .337 mark and his 13 homers place him two behind leader Bob Allison of the Minnesota Twins. Kaline reached a career milestone Monday night when he hit the 2OOth and 201st homers of his career in pacing the Tigers’ to a 6-1 victory over lhe Boston Red Sox. He is the sixth active AL player to reach the 200-homer mark, joining Mantle, Yogi Berra, Joe Adcock, Rocky Colavito and Roger Maris. Kaline's 200th homer followed a single by Jake Wood and a walk to Billy Bruton and tent the Tigers off to a 3-0 lead in the first three-run Bill Fauf yielded only thrbe singles — all by Carl Yastrzetnski — to win his third game against one defeat. Indians Beat Orioles The Cleveland Indians beat the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2, the Los Angeles Angels walloped the Kansas City Athletics, 13-3, and the Washington Senators scored a 1-0 victory after a 7-0 loss to the New York Yankees in other American League games. Barry Latman pitched seven-hit ball for 8 2;3 innings and produced his own winning run with a seventh-inning homer as the Indians gained their seventh win in their last eight games. Latman’s homer came on the first pitch by Mike McCormick after the teams waited 77 minutes for a rainstorm to end. Joe Adcock also homered for the Indians, who dealt the Orioles their ninth defeat in 11 gamesi ■ • - Collect 18 Hits Leon Wagner, Charlie Dees and Ed Sadowski homered to lead an 18-hit Angel attack that also include three hits each by Albie Pearson and Lee Thomas. Dan Osinski pitched a seven-hitter behind the assault to raise his record to 5-2. Orlando Pena suffered his seventh loss against five wins. Newcomer Al Downing pitched a two-hitter for his first major league victory but Claude Osteen earned the Senators a split of their twi-night doubleheader with the Yankees by pitching a sixhitter in the nightcap. Clete Boyer had a homer and two singles and Elston Howard a homer and a double to lead the Yankees’ 12hit attack in the first game while Chuck Hinton’s fifth-inning triple with Ed Brinkman aboard provided the Senators with the only run of the nightcap.

NEW YORK tUPD — Julius (Moose) Boros, winner of the Buick Open last weekend, old Sammy Snead and long-hitting George Bayer were among “name” golfers shooting today for the remaining 99 berths in the lEttnal Open championship. They joined Jay and Leionel Hebert. Bill Collins, Cary Middle, coff, Johnny Pott, Don January and Joe Campbell and 104 others at the Century and Old Oaks Country clubs in suburban Purchase, N.Y., for 45 berths from the New York area. Twenty more berths were up for grabs at Detroit, 10 at Pittsburgh, 7 each at Atlanta and Winchester, Mass., 6 at Bakersfield, Calif., and 4 at Fort Worth, Tex., to complete a qualifying list of 129 out of an original nonexempt field of 2,403. The 30 other qualifying berths were filled Monday with second round play at six sites — Washington, D.C., Cincinnati, Chicago, Denver, Kansas City and Portland, Ore. Dow Finsterwald, a former PGA champion who ended a long victory drought by winning the recent “Festival 500” at Indianapolis, had the best round among this group —a 69-64—133 at the Clovernook Country Club jn Cincinnati. A total of 150 players will tee off in the Open at Brookline, Mass., June 20-22, and only 21 of that field will have earned berths automatically.

Giants Defeat Dodgers Before 52,993 Fans By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The Los Angeles Dodgers had better get a new book on Orlando Cepeda and Ed Bailey or they’ll have to read about the World Series again next October. The Dodgers have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball but Cepeda and Bailey greet ’em like they were batting practice hurlers. Just taka a look at how Orlando and Ed have treated Dodger pitching and you have the explanation for the fact the San Francisco Giants have beaten Los Angeles in three of their last four meetings. The Giants topped the Dodgers again Monday night, 7-3, with Cepeda crashing a tie-breaking homer in the eighth inning and Bailey belting a two-run homer in the ninth. Cepeda hit a three-run double and Bailey drove in two runs with a homer and two singles when the Giants beat the Dodgers for the first time this season on May 24. And the same pair hit homers on May 25 when the Giants scored their second win of the season over their arch-rivals, Cepeda and Bailey have thus knocked in 10 of the 20 runs the Giants have scored in their three victories over the Dodgers. Draw Big Crowd A crowd of 52,993 at Los Angeles Monday night saw Cepeda’s 12th homer of the season snap a 3-3 tie in the eighth. Bailey’s tworun homer featured a three-run clinching outburst in the ninth as Don Larsen picked up his first win and Ron Perranoski suffered his second defeat. Willie McCovey also homered and Willie Mays had three hits in the Giants’ 12-hit attack while Maury Wills, John Roseboro and Dick Tracewski had two hits each for the Dodgers, whose National League lead over the idle St Louis Cardinals was cut to two percentage points.

The victory moved the Giants to within one game of the top rung.

Ken Hubbs’ ninth-inning single scored pinch runner Jim Schaffer with the winning run for the Cubs as Lindy McDaniel picked up his fourth win in relief. The victim was Hal Woodeshick, who had not yielded a run in his previous 21 consecutive innings. Billy Williams homered for the Cubs and Howie Goss connected for Houston, .- - ■ - Wins Eighth Game Ray Culp, a rookie righthander who didn’t Impress the Phillies much in the spring, raised his record to 8-3 with a four-hitter in a 5%-inning game ended by rain. Tony Gonzalez’ double and two blows by Don Demeter were the big hits of the Phillies’ eight-hit attack. Ed Mathews homered for the Braves. Tracy Stallard scored his first big league victory since Sept. 3, 1961, and also pitched his first complete game in the majors with a seven-hitter that handed Cincinnati’s Joey Jay his ninth defeat in 12 decisions.

Sachs Back In Good Graces Os Auto Club INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPI)— Race driver Eddie Sachs of Detroit was back in the good graces of the United States Auto Club today after apologizing for his criticism of officiating at the Indianapolis 500-mile auto race. Sachs could have been fined or suspended for his conduct, but the USAC executive committee at a closed meeting with him Monday let him off with one year’s probation. USAC said its ruling meant Sachs could still race during the probationary period but could make no remarks which might reflect on the integrity of USAC officials. “I knew I was wrong even before they called me in,” Sachs said after the session. “I used poorly chosen words. I did not want to question the integrity of USAC officials.” Sachs was ordered last week to appear before the committee to explain ’statements attributed to him that “politics” enabled Parnelli Jones to win the Memorial Day classic. Sachs’ criticism came minutes after the finish of the 500-mile race when he charged that J.C. Agajanian, owner of Jones’ car, had talked USAC officials out of blackflagging Jones. Sachs claimed Jones should have been taken out of the race because his car was losing oil in the final laps and was a danger to other drivers.
