Cardinals Clit Dodgers'Lead To 3.5 Games By TIM MORIARTY , UPI Sports Writer How wacky can that National League pennant race get? Eight St. Louis pitchers gave up 24 hits in a pair of weekend games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, yet the Cardinals managed to win ’em both and pull within 3% games of the scrambling Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers, meanwhile, suffered two straight losses to San Francisco and manager Al Dark of the Giants chirped, “We’re not out of this yet,” although the defending champs are 8% games back with only 18 to play. Manager Johnny Keane of the Cardinals wasn’t talking — at least publicly. He’s keeping his fingers crossed until a week from tonight when the Redbirds and the Dodgers open a three-game series at St. Louis that should decide the race. Keane, though, couldn’t have been too happy with his pitching Staff when the Cardinals pulled out of Pittsburgh Sunday night. He watched the Pirates clobber five of his hurlers for 13 hits Saturday but the Cardinals still managed to pull out a 6-5 victory. It was more of the same Sunday. The Pirates outhit St. Louis, 11-7, but the Cardinals rode to a 3-2 triumph with the help of a two-run homer by Julian Javier. The Dodgers’ pitching staff also went sour during the weekend. Don Drysdale suffered his 16th defeat, 5-3, Saturday and relief ace Ron Perranoski was clipped for a three-run homer by Orlando Cepeda that powered the Giants to a 5-4 victory Sunday. Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves became a 20-game winner for the 13th season by beating New York Mets edged the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2, and the Houston Colts nipped the Chicago Cubs, 2-1, in other Sunday action. In the American League, New York downed Detroit, 5-3, to increase its lead to 14% games, Chicago won a pair from Minnesota, 5-2 and 5-4, Cleveland beat Washington, 6-2, Boston topped Baltimore, 6-3, and Kansas City nipped Los Angeles, 2-1.

Osuna And Bueno Win Tennis lilies FOREST HILLS, N. Y. (UPI) — It’s a Latin monopoly instead of an Australian monopoly on the two U. S. tennis championships today. Mexico’s Rafael Osuna and Brazil’s Maria Bueno, graceful as panthers and just as dangerous, swept to the national singles championships at Forest Hills Sunday with straight set victories that signaled the end of Australia’s domination and at least a temporary setback to a budding American boom. Osuna trounced 21-year-old Frank Froehling HI of Coral Gables, Fla., 7-5, 6-4, 6-2, and the lithe Miss Bueno climaxed a tremendous comeback by defeating Margaret Smith of Australia, 7-5, 6-4. Miss Smith, reigning Wimbledon queen, won the U. S. title only a year ago. At this point a year ago Maria was recovering from an attack of hepatitis, and many observers felt she never again would come back to the peak that led her tjyice to Wimbledon crowns and to the U. S. championship in 1959. Osuna’s victory made it the eighth straight year a foreign player had won the American championship. The previous seven I all were Australians. Butler Supermarket Is Robbed Saturday BUTLER, Ind.

Owner Harold Nichols said the gunman arrived as he and several employes were counting the day’s receipts. He fled with an estimated S4OO stufffed' in a paper sack, Nichols said.

Yanks' Magic Number Down To Four Today By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer The„ magic number separating the New York Yankess from their 28th Americair League championship is down to four today. All the Yankees need to nail down their fourth straight pennant and their 13th in 15 years is to win four of their remaining 18 games. The clincher should come this week. The Yankees open a four-game series in Kansas City tonight' and then play four weekend games in Minne sota. The only clubs that still have a mathematical chance of catching New York are the Chicag6 White Sox and Minnesota Twins. But any combination of four Yankees victories and four losses by Chicago and Minnesota would seal the title. Al Downing, who wasn’t even in the majors at the start of the season, helped the Yankees along to their inevitable destiny when he pitched them to a 5-3 triumph over the Detroit Tigers Sunday. It was the fifth straight success for the Yankees and boosted their league lead to 14*4 games over the White Sox. Perhaps even more important, the game involved a matter of principle for the world champions since it gave them the season series over the troublesome Tigers, 10 games to 8, and practically assured them a similar edge over all league rivals. After the game, manager Ralph Houk explained: “It helps the morale of your club to win over every other team. We wanted to beat them all.” The White Sox reclaimed second place from Minnesota by Sweeping a doubleheader from the Twins, 5-2 and 5-4, and in other contests the Cleveland Indians beat the Washington Senators, 6-2, the Boston Red Sox topped the Baltimore Orioles, 6-3, and the Kansas City Athletics nipped the Los Angeles Angels, 2i’he St. Louis Cardinals cut Los Angeles’ first-place lead in the Nauonal League to 314 games by nipping the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3- while the Dodgers were losing to San Francisco, 5-4. Elsewhere, Milwaukee edged Philadelphia, 3-2, New York tripped Cincinnati, 3-2, and in the only night game Houston defeated Chicago, 2-1. Adams Central Opens Cross Country Card The Adams Central cross country team will open its 1963 cross country season late this afternoon, meeting the Monmouth Eagles at Monmouth, according to an announcement today by Edwin C. Bryan, cross country coach for the Greyhounds. The Greyhounds have only three runners returning from last year’s Eastern Wabash Valley conference championship squad. They are Jerry Cauble, Paul Hirschy and Tony Ehrsam. Lost by graduation were Dave Heyelerly, conference record holder, Jack Shoaf, Mike Ripley, Ed Hirschy and James Bertsch. The schedule follows: Sept. 9—at Monmouth. Sept. 12—Decatur and Monmouth at Decatur. Sept. 16—at Geneva. Sept. 19—at Bluffton. Sept. 23—at Berne. Sept. 24—at Portland.

Morningstar tallied an 80 while two other comJack Nicklaus Wins $50,000 Golf Series AKRON, Ohio (UPI) — Jack Nicklaus did it again. , It was, he said, “my five iron on the 13th hole which did the job" — the job being the $50,000 first place money in the World Series of Golf. .. It was the second year in a row that burly Jack came up with the biggest golf purse of the year. He shot a final round 35-35 —70 Sunday, matching par for the 7.165-yard Firestone Country Club course. That gave him a total of 140 — even ■ par —for the two rounds. It was one stroke better than Julius Boros wound up with. He ’ had a final round 37-32—69, but his late charge left him one shot , behind Nicklaus with a total of 1 141. “It seems like I'm always a . furlong behind,” said Boros, who ’ at 43 is having the greatest year of his golfing career... “But if I ' have to lose, like I did yester- ! day, it is a pleasure to lose do * ‘Ohio Fats’.” “Ohio Fats” is the way most “ 'of his fellow golfers refer to j Nicklaus. 1 Palmer Is Third 1,, r Arnold Palmer, suffering from >;a gainful right’ shoulder—.wound !i up with a 36-36—72 for 143. Bob > Charles. the New Zealand leftl hander who won the British Open, 1 finished last with a 147, taking a 77 in the final round. On the key 13th, a par-four 460yarder, Palmer drove into th« trees, hit another tree on his second shot and wound up with a double bogey six. Nicklaus hit his five-iron second shot — the big one — 12 feet from the cup and sank the putt. Although Boros finished second, he had not been in contention at that point. He got back into the running by sinking a 22-foot birdie putt on the 17th. That left him two shots behind with one hole to go. His six-foot birdie putt on the 18th brought him a stroke closer — and it was worth $15,000 as the runner-up money. Palmer and Charles received $5,000 each. Feels Better Nicklaus. who had been critical of the press after he three-putted from four feet on the 18th hole on the first round, thought a little better of golf writers after he won Sunday. “Actually,” he said, “they I aren’t bad fellows." ‘ Asked how he would have felt about them had he lost, Nicklaus smiled: “They’re pretty good guys. “I say that not because 1 won $50,000 but because I mean it. I was a little upset Saturday. Well, i Sunday was another day.” Palmer, who will be 34 on ; Tuesday, refused to blame an aching right shoulder for his finish. “I just . didn't play well enough,” he said.

Veterans Star As AFL Opens 1963 Season By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer Babe Parilli and Tobin Rote, who battled one another for a job 10 years ago, are proving to the American Football League that lite begins in the mid-30's for a. brainy old quarterback. Rote, who is 35 and missed i®»ly the entire pre-season schedule because of severely bruised ribs, made an impressive formal AFL debut Sunday by directing the San Diego Chargers to a 14-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills. And Parilli, who is 33 and making a comeback from a btoken collarbone last season, was equally brilliant in guiding the Boston Patriots to a 3,8-14 win over the New York Jets Parilli was Rote's understudy' with the Green Bay Packers back in 1953. Another quarterback who was ailing last season. Tom Flores of the Oakland Raiders, helped pro-' ritice the biggest upset of the AFL's opening weekend on Saturday night when he came off the bench in the third period and sparked a 24-13 victory over the Houston Oilers. Just as big a surprise from the standpoint of the score was the 59-7 rout of the Denver Broncos by the Kansas City Chiefs, the transplanted league champions. ' Two of the AFL's glamor-boys were knocked out of action on the ’ opening weekend. Fnllbaek Cook- ■ ie Gilchrist of the Bills. 1962 AFL player of the year, aggravated previous rib and ankle injuries at “San - Diego-, -while -halfback- Billy Cannon St the Oilers injured his ankle Saturday night against Oak•TantT And speaking of casualties, halfback Paul Lowe of the Chargers. who missed nearly the entire 1962 season because, of a bro- , ken arm, showed all his old running speed-in the victory over the Bills before a crowd of 22,344 at San Diego. Rote set up the Chargers' first touchdown with t|iree passes that covered 70 yards, and with San Diego leading only 7-3 in the third period, Lowe took a pitchout and raced 48 yards for another TD. Rote completed 18 of 30 passes for 260 yards. Parilli ran 10 yards for one touchdown, passed 33 yards, to rookie Art Graham for another, and set up two more scores with his tosses in Boston's horne-open-J ing victory over New York bei lore 24.120 fans.
