Billie Moffitt Leads U.S. To Wightman Cup
CLEVELAND. Ohio (UPD—Billie Jean Moffitt, an extremely talented teen-ager with a tennis racket, was “Miss Big” as the United States overwhelmed England, 6-1, to win the 35th annual Wightman Cup tennis matches. Miss Moffitt, a 19-year-old court whirlwind, won two singles matches and was a member of a doubles team that also came up with a victory to enable Uncle Sam to win his 29th Wightman Cup and fourth in the last six years. The bespectacled youngster, who hails from Long Beach, Calif., in addition to possessing a fine all-around game and a never - say - quit spirit, also pleased the crowd with her vocal and facial gyrations. Several times she would chirp “Yes” to compliment her foe on a fine shot, or admonish herself with “Hit it,” “Go Billie” or “move Billie,” when outfoxed by her opponent. On Saturday, opening day of the best-of-seven tournament, she defeated Christine Truman of England, 6-4, 19-17, and Sunday she beat Mrs. Ann Haydon Jones, Britain’s No. 1 player, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.

Dodgers' Lead IsCulAsßeds Score Victory By TIM MORIARTY UPI Sports Writer A year ago today the Los Angeles Dodgers held a 3ft-game lead over the San Francisco Gitmts in the National League pennant race. That’s the same bulge that separated these Califnoria rivals after weekend action, leaving some figure filberts wondering if history was ready to repeat itself. You don’t need a long memory to recall that the Dodgers blew a four-game lead in the final week of the 1962 seaspn and then bowed to the Giants in a threegame playoff. This year, though, the Dodgers seemingly have hit the skids much earlier. Since July 20, when the Dodgers held a 10-game lead over the Giants, Walt Alston’s men have lost 11 of 20 games. During the same period, the Giants, led by wondrous Willie Mays, have won 15 of 19. Mays, hitting in his 13th straight game, doubled in two key runs to help the Giants whip the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-1, while the Cincinnati Reds walloped Sandy Koufax-and the Dodgers, 9-4. Braves. Beat Cards The Milwaukee Braves ripped the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-1, the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Houston Colts, 2-1, and the New York Mets rolled to an 11-4 victory after losing the opener of a doubleheader to the Chicago Cubs, 8-1, in other NL action. Mays unloaded Ris double in the fifth inning to break up a pitching duel between Cal McLish (11-8) and the Giants' Jack Sanford (11-12). • Chuck Hiller drove in three runs for the Giants with a homer and a sacrifice fly. Wes Covington collected four of the Phils’ five hits off Sanford, who needed ninth inning help from Billy Hoeft and Don Larsen. The Reds raked Koufax for nine hits and five runs during a 5 1-3 innings to become the first team to beat the Dodger southpaw twice this season. Koufax, now 18-5, entered the sixth inning with a 4-1 lead but was chased during a six-rim Cincinnati uprising. Frank Robinson and Don Pavletich homered for the Reds and Frank Howard and Tommy Davis hit the seats fw the dodgers. Hurls Four-Hitter Tony Cloninger struck out 11 and pitched a- four-hitter for the Braves. Eddie Mathews' threerun homer and Gene Oliver’s tworun single Were the big blows for Milwaukee. Cloninger retired 15 batters in a row after the Cards scored an unearned run in the fourth. The Pirates nipped the Colts on Jerry Lynch’s two-run homer with two out in the ninth inning off Skinny Brown. The blow gave Roy Face, who relieved Joe Gibbon in the ninth, his first victory since April 28. A 13-hit attack, including homers by Joe Hicks, Jim Hickman and Choo Choo Coleman, carried the Mets to victory after Dick Ellsworth pitched a six-hitter for the Cubs in the opener. Ellis Burton drove in three runs to ease Ellsworth to his 16th victory. International League Northern Division W. L. Pct. G.B.

Yankees Hold To Big Lead Over Rivals By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer The dog days of August are having little bite on the New York Yankees, and the American League pennant race may be reduced to a trot by the time September rolls into view. The Yankees, who played under .500 ball last August, won their sixth straight game with a 10-inning, 6-4 decision over the Los Angeles Angels Sunday to increase their league lead to nine full games over Chicago. Even more frightening to the other nine clubs than the huge lead is the pure statistics of the situation. The Yankees, with a 74-40 record, need only split their remaining 48 games to finish with 98 victories. Chicago, to match this total, would have to take 32 of their remaining 46 contests. That would be a .696 clip, or 127 percentage points better than the White Sox have been dooing thus far. The Sox didn’t help their cause any Sunday, dropping the first game of a doubleheader to the Detroit Tigers, 7-2, before coming back with a 3-2, 11-inning triumph in the nightcap. Chicago now has lost 10 games more than the Yankees. Twins Beat Boston The Minnesota Twins scored a 5-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. It was the sixth straight success for the third-place Twins and kept them 9ft games behind the Yankees. The Baltimoe Orioles beat the Washington Senators, 6-2, and the Cleveland Indians edged the Kansas City Athletics, 2-1. In tne* - National League, |he San Giants closed to withih 3ft games of Los Angels by beating Philadelphia, 5-1, while the Dodgers lost to Cincinnati, 9-4; the Milwaukee Braves ripped the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-1; the Pittsburgh Pirates nipped the Houston Colts, 2-1; and the Chicago Cubs defeated the New York Mets, 8-1, in the first game of a doubleheader but the Mets took the nightcap, 11-4. Elston Howard and Hector Lopez, both late-game replacements shared the hero roles for the Yankees. Howard slammed a three-run, two-out, ninth-inning homer to send the game into extra innings, and Lopez drove in the winning run with a 10thinning single. Rfelief pitcher Bill Stafford stopped the Angels over the final two frames to gain his fourth victory, and Julio Navarro took the loss. Aids Own Cause Peters went all the way for Chicago in the second game, and in addition to holding Detroit to just one earned run he contributed a single, double and homer to his own cause. However, he needed an 11th inning home run by Dave Nicholson to gain his 12th triumph and his seventh in a row. Don Mossi and Terry Fox scattered seven hits for Detroit in the openr and got their main hitting support from Bubba Phillips and Al Kaline, each with three safeties. Zoilo Versalles hit a two-run homer in th?, fourth inning and Don Mincher connected with two on in the fifth to account for all the Minnesota runs. Camilo Pascual took it from there, yielding only a two-run homer to Dick Stuart, to gain his 14th victory in 20 decisions. Pitcher Milt Pappas slammed a two-run homer and relief hurler Stu Miller contributed a basesfilled triple as Pappas beat Washington for the , eighth straight time. Ron Kline was the loser. Barry Latman held Kansas City hitless for 5 2-3 innings before giving up a homer to Jose Tartabull, and yielded, just two more hits the rest of the way to even his record at 7-7. The Indians scored both their runs in the first inning off Orlando Pena.
