Tom Neumann passed for the Patriots’ first touchdown , fullback Harry Crump plunged two yards for their second and Gino Cappellettl and Bobby Walston kicked field goals to run up the 20-lead. The Oakland Raiders indicate that they may move fullback Charlie Rieves to linebacker...

Dodgers' Lead •.a - ' Is Reduced To Three Gaines By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Oh no, not again! » It sure looks like a rerun of last year’s race, with the faltering first-place Dodgers showing the same signs of folding and the surging second-place Giants moving closer to the top each day. That was the pattern not only a year ago but Wednesday night, too, when the Giants moved within three games of the top with a 7-6 victory over the Reds in 10 innings while the Braves beat the Dodgers, 5-3. Slump-ridden Jim Davenport and Felipe Alou came off the bench to spark the victory for the Giants, who now have won 16 of their last 22 games. Exactly a year ago they had won 15 of 22. Davenport, who along with Alou had been benched recently for not hitting, entered the game in the sixth inning and opened the 10th with a double off Cincinnati reliever Bill Henry. One out later, Alou pinch-hit for winning pitcher Don Larsen and singled to right field to score Davenport. Makes First Start Rookie right-hander Frank Linzy made his first major league start for San Francisco WSt was routed after giving up eight hits and three runs in two innings. The Giants pecked away at Red starter John Tsitouris and went ahead, 5-3, after Willie Mays hit his 29th homer with one on in the sixth and Willie McCovey socked his 34th with a man aboard in die seventh. Vada Pinson’s three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh gave the Reds the lead again but the Giants tied the score in the eight. Hank Aaron’s grand slam homer in the seventh inning dealt the Dodgers their third straight loss. His wallop came off Don Drysdale, who went down to his 13th defeat against 15 victories. . In contrast to the Giants, the Dodgers have won only nine of their last 22 games.

Cards Also Gain The third-place Cardinals also took advantage of the Dodgers’ setback to move within four games of first place with a 3-2 victory , over the Colts. The Phillies beat the Cubs twice, 7-2 and 9-3, to move into a virtual tie for fifth place, and the Mets downed th* Pirates, 4-2. ■Tn ■ the American League, the Red Sox swept a day-night twin bill from the Yankees, 14-7 and 5-4, the Indians nipped the White Sox, 1-0, in 11 innings, the Twins beat the Orioles, 2-1, in 13 innings, the Angels blanked the Senators, 2-0, and the Tigers topped the Athletics, 5-2. Bob Gibson struck out 10 Colt batters and walked off with his 13th victory for the Cardinals when Bill White broke a 2-all tie by rapping his 21st homer in the seventh inning off loser Ken Johnson. Gibson and Johnson (6-16) each gave up eight hits. Phils Take Two Reliever Johnny Klippstein Wankdd the Cubs on two hits over the final 6 1-3 innings of the first game as the Phillies capitalized on three errors to beat Larry Jackson despite Ernie Banks’ 18th homer. The Phils then came from behind -to win the nightcap with the help of homers by John-

Red Sox Sweep Double Header From Yankees By MILTON RICHMAN IJPI Sports Writer Smoldering Dick Stuart is so burned up that he’s just liable to foul up the whole World Series. He’s carrying on a whacky one man crusade to annihilate the Yankees all because their manager, Ralph Houk, passed him up for the American League All-Star team last month. ‘T’m gonna try to beat their brains out every time I play against them," Stuart proclaimed. "Let him try," Houk sniffed. Stuart not only tried Wednesday but succeeded handsomely as he pounded out six hits and drove in as many runs to help the Red Sox sweep a day-night doubleheader from the Yankees, 14-7 and 5-4. The big outspoken Boston first baseman hit Houk where it hurt the most. With the Yanks leading 5-2 in the opener. Stuart singled off the left field wall with the bases full to drive in the lead runs during a seven-run fifth inning explosion. He then blasted a two-run homer in the eighth inning of the nightcap and that blew turned out to be Boston’s winning margin. The home run was Stuart's 29th, tops in the AL, and his 84 runs batted in also lead the league. Pitcher Homers Bill Monbouquette picked up his 15th victory in the opener with help from Jacfc Lamabe, who slugged a three-run homer in the seventh. Rookie Dave Morehead won his seventh in the nightcap although chased in the ninth when the Yanks scored all their runs. Ralph Terry (13-12) and Jim Bouton (15-6) were the losers.
