Phillies Win Fifth In Row To Keep Lead By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer In baseball, as in poker, the fellow with the hot hand can do no wrong. In poker, he’s the fellow who makes his ace-high straight by drawing the queen while in baseball he’s the guy who plucks a Cookie Rojas off the bench and sees him play a key role in beating the world champions in two straight games. And, lest there be any doubt about it, the fellow with the hot hand in the National League these days is Manager Gene Mauch of the Philadelphia Phillies. Mauch inserted Rojas into the lineup a week ago in a move that was pure speculation but now looks like inspiration. The 24-year-old native of Havana, Cuba, has been hitting at a better-than-. 500 clip since he got into the lineup and -Wednesday night for the second straight game was instrumental in enabling the Phillies to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. A Must Win This was one of those tough games which surprise contenders like the Phillies must win jto prove they’re authentic. Dodger righthanded ace Don Drysdale was at his best and Philadelphia pitcher Jim Bunning was in constant hot water. But in’ the end it was the Dodgers who faltered — just enough to enable the Phillies to score a 1-0, 11-inning victory. Rojas, who figured in all four Philadelphia runs in a Tuesday night win over the Dodgers, started the 11th inning with a double — only the fourth hit off Drysdale. Drysdale struck out Richie Allen but was replaced in favor of Ron Perranoski, who intentionally walked Johnny Callison and then got Wes Covington to hit into a force play at second. Then Tony Gonzalez grounded to third-base-man Jim Gilliam, who bobbled the ball as Rojas raced, across the plate with the winning run. It was the fifth straight victory for the Phillies, who knocked the Dodgers eight games off the pace in eighth place. Jack Baldschun, who shut out the Dodgers for one inning, picked up his third win while the loss was Drysdale’s fifth in 11 decisions. The - San Francisco Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, *3-0, the Milwaukee Braves nipped the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2, and the St. Louis Cardinals scored, a 7-5 win over the Chicago Cubs in other NL games. Houston at New York was rained out. Rookie Ron Herbel’s four-hit pitching and a two-run homer by Orlando Cepeda enabled the Giants to tag Pittsburgh’s Bob Priddy with the loss. Vern Law shut out the Giants for five innings , but was removed from the game after he was hit on the right elbow by a pitch. Hgrbel struck out five in gaining his third win of the season. Denny Lemaster pitched a six-hitter and struck out 10 in winning ’ his seventh game for; the Braves, who dealt hardluck Jim Maloney his sixth defeat against three wins. Lee Maye and Denis Menke homered for the Braves and Vada Pinson connected for the Reds. Ray Sadecki, with relief help from Roger Craig and home v run power by Ken Boyer, won his fifth game for the Cardinals and also hung an O-for-4 horsecollar around the neck of Billy Williams, whose average dropped to .412 with the end of his eight-game hitting streak. Bill White weighed in with a two-run double for the Cardio mJ* o'* I

(UPI) — Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus were singing the blues today as they prepared to tee off in the first round of the SIOO,OOO Thunderbird Golf Classic, but little Gary Player was all sunshine and smiles. Palmer said he had lost his touch after playing “only a couple of times in two weeks.” Nicklaus made it a gloomy duet by asserting he was “playing worse than I have in a long time and can’t drive it.” But Player jubilantly announced that he was playing “the best I’ve played in my whole life and have never felt so strong or so well.” A field of 125, with U. S. Champion Deane Beman as the only amateur, was to start the four - day trek at 8 a.m. EDT in search of the $20,000 _first prize. Slammin’ Sammy Snead was the first “name” off, at 8:48 a.m., followed by U.S. Open champiop Julius Boros at 9:04; Hilly Casper at 9:28; Player at 9:44; Nicklaus at 12:08 p.m., and Palmer at 12:40 p.m. While Palmer said he didn’t have his “feel” he appeared far from worried. The “king” obviously was looking beyond the fat jackpot at stake as they began play over the 6,573-yard, par - 72 Westchester Country Club course. Already he has thte Masters in his pocket and his aim is to make the grand slam by adding the U. S. and British Opens and the PGA. With the U. S. Open two weeks away, Palmer’s plans called for a slow buildup to a winning peak; Palmer won the Thunderbird last year in a sudden death playoff with Paul Harney but the following week lost a playoff for the U. S. Open crown. At this v stage the Open title, and not 'money, is his target.

Veteran Hurlers Score Wins In American Loop By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Young pitchers with strong arms - are wonderful but old pitchers with wise heads can be even better. If you don’t think so, just ask the Baltimore Orioles about Robin Roberts, the Chicago White Sox about Hoyt Wilhelm or , the New York Yankees about Whitey Ford. Here is a trio of pitchers whose ages add up to 112 years but who still have the guile and pitching technique to be key men in these early stages of the American League pennant race. Take Wednesday night when all three turned in fine performances: —Roberts, 37, pitched a sixhitter and struck out six to win his fourth game as the firstplace Orioles beat the Kansas City Athletics, 5-1. Preserves Win —Wilhelm, 40, ambled out of the bullpen to preserve the White Sox’ 3-0 win over the Cleveland Indians and now has been the finishing pitcher in the White Sox’ last four victories and five of their last six wins. —Ford, 35, hurled a. four-hit-ter to notch his fourth shutout of the season and give the Yankees a ’ 3-0 triumph over the Minnesota, Twins, who had beaten the AL champions four straight times. The win was Ford’s sixth of the season and the 205th of his career. The Orioles remained a game and a half ahead of the White Sox with their 21st victory in their last 27 games. Roberts, going the distance for the) fourth time, was backed by a' nine - hit attack that included; twq Comers by Boog Powell and one .each by Luis Aparicio and oWilNpjKirkland. Sounds Alarm Joel Horlen carried ai ? 3-0, two-hitter into the ninth inning against Cleveland but Manager Al Lopez sounded the bullpen alarm when Vic Davalillo doubled to start the inning. Enter Don Mossi, who retired Joe Azcue,- and then enter Wilhelm, who saw Woodie Held reach base on an error but then threw a fluttering double play pill to Max Alvis. Singles by Dave Nicholson and Jerry McNertney and Horlen’s infield out accounted for the White Sox’ first run in the second inning. Al Weis homered in the seventh and Mike Hershberger singled and scored on a triple by Nicholson to complete the scoring in the eighth. Ford recorded the 38th shutout of his career — tops among active American Leaguers — to snap the- Yankees’ three-game losing streak and keep them 5% games behind the Orioles. Elston Howard homered in the fourth inning for the Yankees’ first run and Hector Lopez singled home the other two runs in the seventh. The Washington Senators whipped the Detroit Tigers, 6-2, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Boston Red Sox, 2-0 and 9-8, in other American League games. NL Action In the National League, Philadelphia nipped Los Angeles, 1-0, San . Francisco checked Pittsburgh, 3-0, St. Louis defeated Chicago, 7-5, and Milwaukee shaded Cincinnati 3-2. Claude Osteeii pitched a sixhitter behind a . seven-hit attack featured by homers by Fred Valentine and Dick Phillips to win his fourth game for the Senators. Al Kaline hit a tworun homer for the Tigers. Fred Newman, with relief aid from Bob Lee in the ninth, won his third game for the Angels in the first game and Los Angeles rallied in the eighth inning of the nightcap to complete the sweep. Billy Moran doubled to drive in one run and scored the other on Lee Thomas’ single in the first game while Albie Pearson’s two-run single >yon the nightcap for the Angels 4 after Boston relief -ace Dick Radatz was forced to retire after being hit with a batted ball.
