Koufax, Angels Hottest Items < * In Baseball; Yanks Up Their Lead, Phils Maintain Ist Spot

By FRED DOWN * UPI Sports Writer The way things are going those red-hot Los Angeles Angels will catch the New York Yankees, all right, provided American League President Joe Cronin extends the season until February. That’s what makes the Angels’ break-neck drive a study in frustration. The Angels have won nine of their last 10 games and have a 15-7 record for the month of July, but all they’ve really succeeded in doing is to slow down the teams which are within striking range of the Yankees. Because, during the same ‘period, the Yankees have compiled a 12-6 record and “lost” only one game to the Angels. At that rate—the loss of one game every three weeks — it would take the Angels another 30 weeks to make up the 914 games which still separate them from the pace setters. * Angels Win Again The Angels did the Yankees a favor again Wednesday night when they beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2. It marked the Angels’ third straight victory over the White Sox but opee again they failed to gain ground on the main objective because the Yankes beat the Washington Senators 6-3. The Yankee victory, combined with the White Sox’ defeat and the Baltimore Orioles’ 7-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians, gave the Yankees a onegame lead over Baltimore and a 114-game margin over Chicago. ~ Willie Smith scored from third base on J. C. Martin’s passed ball with two out in the ninth inning to provide Los Angeles’ Bob Lee with his sixth win. Hoyt Wilhelm, who had held the Angels scoreless in 8 2-3 innings of previous relief work this season, suffered his sixth loss. Rally For Five Joe Pepitone tripled* with the bases filled in the fifth inning to highlight a five-run rally that enabled A1 Downing to win his seventh game for the Yankees. Ralph Terry took over in the ; sixth and protected Downing’s ’ win with four innings of twohit, shutout relief. Pitcher Dick Donovan’s tworun single was the big blow of a four-run eighth inning rally that gave the Indians their third straight victory over the Orioles. Norm Siebern and Luis Aparicio homered for the Orioles and Vic Davalillo and Tito Francona connected for the Indians. - r — The Detroit Tigers defeated the Boston Red Sox 8-6 and the Kansas City Athletics beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4 in other AL games. Ed Rakow won his sixth game for the Tigers behind a 10-hit attack that included homers by A1 Kaline, Dick McAuliffe and Norm Cash. Eddie Bressoud and Bob Tlilman connected for the Red Sox but the blows weren’t enough to prevent 10-game winner Earl Wilson from suffering his fifth setback. Rocky Colavito’s two-rur horrifer with-two out in the ninth enabled the Athletics to hand the Twins their seventh straight defeat. John Wyatt went 1 1-3 innings of shutout relief to win his sixth game for the Athletics while Johnny Klippstein dropped his first decision. Tony Oliva and Earl Battey homered for the Twins. N. L. Action Sandy Koufax is laughing up the sleeve of his golden left grm at the baseball wiseacres who predicted he couldn’t duplicate his great 1963 season. Although the Los Angeles Dodgers have done an abrupt about- face this year and remain buried in eighth place in the National Laegue, their dandy southpaw mowing down rival batters at the end of the campaign. If Koufax can maintain his current pace, he could wind up the season as (A) the first two- time winner of the Cy Young Award as the major leagues’ top pitcher, *B) the majors’ first triple crown (wins, percentage and earned runs average) pitching champion in 26 years, and 4CI the first NL, pitcher to win the ERA crown three straight years ft* 47 years. Le Was Last The. majors’ last triple crown pitching king was Bill Lee, who finished the 1938 season with the Chicago Cubs with a 22-9 t record for a .710 percentage

and posted a 2.66 ERA. The last National Leaguer to win the ERA title three consecutive seasons was Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1915 - 16 - 17. Koufax, who won the Cy Young Award last season when he won 25 of 30 decisions and had a 1.88 ERA, could even surpass those figures this year. In blanking the Houston Colts 1-0 Wednesday night on four hits for his 11th straight victory and 15th of the season, dandy Sandy lowered his ERA to 1.78. He has allowed only 34 earned runs in 172 innings this year. Koufax embellished his sixth shutout of the campaign and 26th of his career with 12 strikeouts and did not walk a man. He has fanned 168 thus far this season compared to his NL record of 306 last year. Broke Losing Streak The Dodgers broke a fourgame losing streak at the expense of hardluck Ken Johnson (8-9) on third inning doubles by Derrell Griffith and Ron Fairly. • That was all Koufax needed as he became the first National Leaguer to win 11 straight since teammate Don Drysdale in 1962. The Philadelphia Phillies retained their one-game lead over San Francisco by downing Milwaukee Braves 4-1 while the Giants topped the Chicago Cubs 7-3. The New York Mets beat the Cincinnati Reds for the fifth straight time, 4-3 in 10 innings, and the Pittsburgh Pirates
