Koufax Tosses Eighth Shutout Os Year Sunday By JOE SARGIS UPI Sports Writer Okay, baseball experts, who is the National League’s top lefthanded pitcher, Warren Spahn or Sandy Koufax? - If you are a Spahn fan you can quote statistics to back your argument all day long, and maybe through the night, too. Koufax fans can wrap up their argument in a hurry, mostly because Sandy hasn’t been around nearly as long as the soon-to-be-43 Spahn. But they are imposing figures at that. • Koufax, who was only seven years old when Spahn began his major league career with the Boston Braves in 1942, hurled his eighth shutout of the season Sunday, only two short of the National League record of 10 set by Mort Cooper of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1942, as the NL leading Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds, 4-0, in the first game of a doubleheader. Spahn matched that performance about six hours later when he set the Houston Colts down on five hits in a 4-0 victory. It was Spahn’s fourth shutout of the season and the 59th of his long career. The victory was Spahn’s 12th of the season against four losses. Koiifax, who allowed the Reds just three hits, is 14-3. Both are scheduled for some duty on Tuesday in the All-Star game in Cleveland. Spahn goes into the classic with an earned run average of 2.67. Sandy has an even more glittering average of 1.73. Dodders Score Early The Dodgers wrapped up the •first game against the Reds in the first inning when ropkie third baseman Ken McMullen singled across two runs. Bob Purkey, who had been showing signs of regaining his old form after nursing a sore arm for most of the season, took the loss, his fifth against three victories. Los Angeles also won the second game, 3-1, behind the sevenhit pitching of rookie Nick Willhite and Ron Perranoski. Catcher Dopg Camilli hit the key blow, a two-run homer in the fourth, as the' Dodgers widened their lead over die second-place San Francisco Giants to 'three games. The Giants split their doubleheader with the St. Louis Cardi- - in 15 innings, 4-3, and the Cards taking the nightcap, 5-0. In the other games, the Philadelphia Phillies clipped the third-place Chicago Cubs, 3-2, and the Pittsburgh Pi-

Senators Win Twin Bill For Seven In Row By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Gil Hodges has borrowed a page from former boss Leo Durocher’s managerial handbook to help spark the Washington Senators to their longest winning streak in 14 years. Durocher called it “the shakewell system—shake well before using.’ 1 * And that’s just what Hodges has done since succeeding Mickey Vernon. In fact, he’s shaken it so much American League rivals can hardly believe it’s the same franchise. The Senators ran their winning streak to seven games Sunday when they defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 7-3 and 6-4. It is the Senators’ longest winning streak since 1949 when they reeled off nine straight victories. Bennie Daniels pitched a fivehitter and , struck out 12 batters to win his third game of the season in the opener while Don Zimmer, ex-Dodger pal of Hodges, sent the Senators off in front in the nightcap with a grand slam in the first inning. Jim Duckworth was credited with his third win in the second game although he needed the relief aid of Dick Rudolph, who pitched perfect ball for the final 2 2-3 innings. Zimmer had two doubles in the first game and a homer and a single in the nightcap to lead Washington’s attack. Yankees Split The New York Yankees scored a 7-4 Ittdnning win after losing to the Cleveland Indians, 11-3, the Chicago White Sox downed the Boston ,Red Sox, 4-1, in 12 innings the Baltimore Orioles shaded the Minnesota Twins, 4-3, in 10 innings the Kansas City Athletics won, 8-7, after suffering a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers in other American League games. Yogi Berra’s tie-breaking double in the 10th and powerful relief pitching by Jim Bouton and Whitey Ford enabled the Yankees to gain their split after a crowd of 37,200 saw the Indians slam out 14 hits, including homers by Max Alvis, Al Luplow and Joe Azcue, in the first game. Ralph Terry suffered his ninth loss against eight wins for the Yankees. Juan Pizarro shut out the Red Sox for the last two innings to win his 11th game for the White Sox, who rallied for three runs in the 12th on singles by Al Weiss, Pete Ward, Mike Hershberger and a double, by. Nelson Fox. The. loser was Red Sox ace Bill Monbouquette, who went the last four innings and dropped his sixth decision against 11. triumphs. Pitcher Lee Stange’s wild throw enabled Bob Saverine to score all the way from first base and give the Orioles their sixth win in their last seven games. Stu Miller, who' pitched the last two innings, won his third game for the Orioles. Jim Kaat was the loser for the Wins, who now have dropped six of their last seven games. Jim Bunning struck out eight and pitched a seven-hitter to win his sixth game for the Tigers but the Athletics rallied for seven runs, in the seventh inning of the nightcap to split the doubleheader. A single by Charlie Lau and a double by Chuck Essegian were the big blows of the rally Which ended a six-game Kansas City losing streak and a six-game Detroit winning streak. In the National League, the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Cincinnati . Reds. 4-0 and 3-1, the San Francisco Giants defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, ih 15 innings and therfi lost the, nightcap, 5-0, the Philadelphia Phillies nipped the Cnicago Cubs, 3-2, the Pittsburgh Pirates downed the New York Mets, 11-5, and the Milwaukee Braves beat the Houston Colts, 4-0.
