Dodgers Boost League Margin With Two Wins By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Once bitten, twice shy, j Maybe that’s the reason can-' tious Walt Alston shies away from any pennant talk even though his Los Angeles Dodgers seem to feel they’re “in” with a six-game lead and only six more weeks to go. The Dodgers said good-bye for all time Sunday to the Polo Grounds with a 7-0 and 3-2 sweep of the New York Mets. One of the Dodgers let the team’s feelings be known when he left a clubhouse note which said: “We’ll see you again at Yankee Stadium the first week in October.” Alston, still scarred from last year’s loss, said absolutely nothing about the pennant apart from the time - honored, “We’ll just keep playing one game at a time.” The Dodger skipper wouldn’t even say for sure that his club has snapped its batting slump despite five straight Victories. "Let’s see,” he pondered, “we scored 22 runs in the last four games. Well, at least that’s more then we’ve been getting lately.” Pleased By Pitching Alston, however, was pleased by the Dodgers’ pitching Sunday. Don Drysdale hurled a three-hit shutout for his 16th victory in the opener and rookie Dick Calmus pitched five scoreless innings in relief of Pete Richert to earn his second triumph in the nightcap. Doug Camilli hit a two-run homer in the first game and Tommy Davis drove in two runs in each contest as the Ddogers gained a full game on both the Giants and Cardinals, who were rained out. The fourth-place Phillies won their seventh in a row by defeating the Pirates, 3-1, the Braves beat the Colts, 3-2 and the Cubs took two from the Reds, 2-1 and 4-0. In the American League, the Yankees went 10% games ahead with an 8-2 and 8-4 sweep of the White Sox, the Senators downed the Twins, 7-3, the Indians beat the Red Sox, 7-4, the Athletics bounced the Orioles, 5-4, and the Tigers edged the Angels, 3-2.

Klippstein took over when starter Ray Culp came up with a sore arm in the third inning and shut out Pittsburgh the rest of the way.l Warren Spahn, set on winning 20 games for the 13th time in his career, got No. 15 with a seven-hitter against the Colts. The Braves nicked loser Skinny Brown for two runs in the fourth, and Roy McMillan singled home the winning run in the seventh. Th® Cubs two victories over the Reds gave them a total of 64 for the season and matched their highest win total for any

Yanks Wallop White Sox In Double Header By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Tiow that the Yankees have settled one race, they’ve started another to see if they can win the pennant by the - largest margin in American League history. They lead now by 10% and have 41 more games left in which to break the modern AL record of 19% set by the 1936 Yankees. The current Yankees kid each other about that mark. “If those guys could win by 19%,” they laugh, “we can win by 20.” They could, too, if they maintain their present rate of 10 victories in the last 13 games. Even such a staunch die-hard as Al Lopez couldn’t voice much hope for flagging down the Yankees after they swept a pair from his White Sox, 8-2, and 8-4, Sunday. The Yankees hopped on Ray Herbert and four relievers for 12 hits, including Hector Lopez’ 14th homer, in the opener, then came back with an 11-hit barrage in the nightcap. Elston Howard led the second game onslaught with a homer, double and two singles. Ralph Terry (14-12) and Jim Bouton (16-6) Were’ the winning pitchers although each needed relief. Senators Top Twins Elsewhere in the AL, the Senators topped the Twins, 7-3, the Athletics beat the Orioles, 5-4, the Indians downed the Red Sox, 7-4, and the Tigers defeated the Angels, 3-2. The Dodgers increased their National League lead to six games over the rained-out Giants and Cardinals with a 7-0 and 3-2 sweep of the Mets. The Phillies beat the Pirates, 3-1, the Braves .clipped the Colts, 3-2, and the Cubs took a doubleheader from the Reds, 2-1 and 4-0. Two home runs by Don Zimmer and a three-run blast by Don Leppert helped the Senators beat the Twins. Those three blows overcame Minnesota homers by Rich Rollins and Jimmie Hall and brought Steve Ridzik his fourth victory. Garry Roggenburk was the loser in relief to Jim Perry. The Athletics rocked Robin Roberts for four runs in the first, inning and held on the reSt' of the way as Dave Wickersham scored his ninth victory. Jerry Lumpe’s two-run homer was KC’s key blow in the first inning. Wicktrsham held the ‘ Orioles scoreless until Brooks Robinson jolted him for a three-run homer in the eighth. Celebrates With Homers Cleveland catcher Joe Azcue celebrated his 24th birthday with two homers and a double against Boston. Willie Kirkland also homered for the Indians to help Jim (Mudcat) Grant register his ninth trSumph in 20 decisions. Grant gave up eight hits, including a homer by Bob Tillman. Dave Morehead (7-10) was the loser. Don Mossi took over for starter Al Koch in the fourth inning and blanked the Angels on two hits thereafter to gain his sixth victory for the Tigers. Koch, who was tagged for a homer by Al Moran and allowed seven hits in 2 2-3 innings, had the consolation of driving in the winning run with a fourth-inning single off loser Dean Chance.
