Bulldog Bouton Is Yankee Symbol Today; Giants Are Singing Marchial Praises

By FBED DOWN UPI fearto Writer Things have reached an odd pass in the American League when the symbol of the lordly New York Yankees is a bulldog. Yet that’s the way it is these days with the Yankes hanging doggedly onto first place in the face of two persistent challengers and worrying from hour to hour over the physical condition of such super stars as Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle, It’s determination that’s needed to keep Yogi Berra’s ship afloat and no one in the AL epitomizes determination more than Jim Bouton. A smallish, rugged righthander from Newark, N.J., Bouton clicked off 21 victories for the Yankees last season and so far this year has compiled an 11-8 record. He recorded win No. 11 Wednesday night when he turned in a four - hitter that gave the Yankees a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels that enabled them to retain Wr one - game lead over the Baltimore Orioles. A crowd of 39,866 saw Elston Howard drive in two runs with a pair of singles and Mantle deliver a run - scoring single that helped the Yankees hand Bo Belinsky his sixth loss against nine wins. Vic Power had two of the Angels’ four hits. The Orioles remained a game behind the Yankees with a 4-3 decision over the Minnesoto Twins, the, Detroit Tigers shaded the Chicago White Sox 3-2, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Kansas City Athletics 3-2 and the Washington Senators scored a 4-1 12 - inning win over the Cleveland Indians. The Orioles dealt the Twins their 15th loss in 18 games behind a 10 - hit attack that featured homers by Sam Bowens and Norm Siebern. Milt Pappas went five innings before retiring with an old knee injury to win his ninth game despite Harmon Killebrew’s 35th homer of the year. Harvey Haddix i and Stu Miller finished .up for ’ Orioles. Gates Brown’s two- run " Wffi® - ifirWhoffiei’ %ar*the ! decisive blow for the Tigers, I who were shut out by Chicago’s Ray Herbert until Norm • Cash hit his 15th homer of the [ season in the seventh. Fred Gladding, who shut out the White Sox for the last two innings, raised his record to 3-1 while Frank Baumann suffered his'Jhird setback without a victory. Dick Radatz pitched shutout 1.. ball and struck out four .over the last three innings to win his 10th game for the Red Sox. Carl Yastrzemski and Dick Stuart had two hits each for the Red Sox, who were aided by six Kansas City errors. Diego Segui suffered his eighth loss compared with seven wins. Don Lock's 16th and 17th homers, the latter with two on in the 12th, helped Washington’s Ron Kline to his sixth win. Gary Bell was charged with his fourth loss against five victories for the Indians. National League The San Francisco Giants would be the last team in baseball to question Sandy Koufax’ greatness, but you can’t blame ’em for being the first team to sing the praises of Juan Marichal. v Because the simple truth is that the 26-year-old righthander from the Dominican Republic is that the 26-year-old righthander from the Dominican Republic is keeping the Giants in the National League race virtually single-handedly. And, in the bargain, he’s matched the great Koufax victory for victory over the last two seasons. Marichal, who equalled Koufax’ 1963 total of 25 wins, drew even with Sandy’s 1964 total of 15 triumphs Wednesday - night when he pitched a 10-inning, coutch 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies and moved the Giants back to within a halfgame of the beaten NL leaders. Statistics can lie but not the kind Marichal offers. His Wednesday night victory (1) made him the second pitcher in the league to beat every rival at least once (Larry Jackson is the other pitcher), (2) gave him five of the 12 wins the Giants have scored since June 30 and (3) gave him seven of the 21-night-game wins San Francisco has achieved. Marichal struck out nine and walked only one but needed the late-inning slugging of Willie McCovey to yin. McCovey, a

mid-game replacement for Orlando Cepeda, doubled home the tying run in the eighth inning and singled in the winnig run in the 10th. Relief ace Jack Baldscpun suffered his fifth loss against four wins for the Phillies. Elsewhere In the NL, the Milwaukee Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-2, the St. Louis Cardinals routed the Chicago Cubs 9-1, the Pittsburgh Pirates downed the Houston Colts 5-2, and Los Angeles and New York were rained out. Tony Cloninger struck out 11 battens and Mike De La «oz had four straight hits for the Braves, who tagged Joe Nuxhall with his sixth setback against eight wins. Pete Rose and Chico Ruiz had two hits
