Sam McDowell Trying (or Elusive 41st No-Hitter in Tougher Circles

ly United Preu International The first 40 no-hitters were the easiest—it’s No. 41 that’s giving Sam McDowell trouble. McDowell, who compiled an amazing total of 40 no-hitters before reaching the big time by signing a $75,000 Cleveland bonus in 1960 at the age of 17, allowed only one safety Monday night in blanking Kansas City 2-0. The 6-fbot-5 lefthander, brought up three times from the minors by the Indians before making the club for good in 1964, strtick out eight and walked six to raise his record toS-0. McDowell’s bid for his first

major league no-hitter was foiled in the sixth inning by Jose Tartabull, who’s batting an anemic .171. “I threw Jose a curve but I failed to get it where I wanted it,” McDowell said. “It was just one of those hanging curves that come up once in a while and are a batter’s dream. I pitched against him in Puerto Rico and I should know his weakness by now.” The victory was Cleveland’s eighth straight without a loss and gives the Indians a shot tonight at the American League record for best starts, 9-0 set by the 1944 St Louis Browns. The modern American League

Los Angeles Dodgers Lose Third Straight Shutout

marie is 10-0 established by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1955. Elsewhere in the junior e)rcult the Chicago White Sox shaded Washington 3-2 on an unearned run in the ninth inning, unbeaten Denny McLain of Detroit blanked Minnesota 3- 0, and Carl Yastrzemski went 4- for-5 to lead Boston to an 8*5 triumph over New York. In the National League, Atlanta whipped San Francisco 5- 0, St. Louis shut out LOS Angeles 2-0, Philadelphia stopped Pittsburgh 5-0 and Houston nipped Cincinnati 2-1. Larry Brown drove in both Cleveland runs by singling with the bases loaded in the sixth inning. In that frame, Max Alvis walked and advanced to third on Leon Wagner’s double. After Rocky Colavito struck out, Fred Whitfield was intentionally walked to fill the bases.

Dodgers.

I^arry Jaster became the third pledge in three days to harass the! punchless Dodgers, who are on the verge of tying a major league record for futility. The reeling champs haven’t scored a run since Friday and during that time have been shut out three times. In each case the winning pitcher was a rookie. Jaster, a 22-year-old lefthander; blanked Los Angeles on seven hits in pitching the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-0 victory that extended the Dodgers’ scorelesa >«ttipg to 30 innings. Although fife major league record is 4f.<«t hy the Philadelphia Athletics in 1906, Los Angeles can equal the record of four straight shutout defeats if they fail to score tonight against the

Cardinals.

The xtodQors, who have dropped into sixth place as a result of the disastrous hitting slump, had lost on consecutive days to Ferguson Jenkins, a 22-year-old right-hander, and Ken Holtzmaar^a 20-year-old parttime cotie^ .student, both of the Cubs, before being embarrassed by Jaster.

Jim Bunning of Philadelphia blanked Pittsburgh by a similar score and Mike Cuellar of Houston made his first start a successful one by beating the Cincinnati Reds 2-1. The Mets and the Cubs were not scheduled. In American League action. Sam McDowell pitched a onehitter as the Cleveland Indians edged the Kansas City Athletics 2- 0, Detroit defeated Minnesota 3- 0, Boston batt ered the Yankees 8-5 and the Chicago White Sox edged the Washington Senators 3-2. Johnson, in posting the first shutout of the year for the Braves, raised his record to 2-0 and handcuffed Willie Mays, who is attempting to break the National League career mark of 511 homers he currently holds with Mel Ott. Lee Thomas drove in three runs with a homer and Hank Aaron socked his 401st career home run to spark the Braves, who now have won seven of their last eight games. Bunning struck out seven and allowed five hits in pitching Philadelphia’s initial shutout of the season. He also contributed two singles to the nine-hit Phillies’ attack. Richie Allen hamered off loser Bob Veale and was credited with a second run batted in when Veale walked him with the bases loaded.., Cuellar, who previously had made four glittering relief appearances, surrendered an unearned run in the fifth Inning and held the slumping Reds

scoreless the rest of the way to

sacrifice fly with Floyd Robinson on third. Robinson had walked and was singled to third by Pete Ward, who had gotten a second chance to hat when Washington catcher Doug Oamilli dropped his pop fly. Johnny Romano had tied the game at 2-2 with an eighthinning homer for the White Sox while Frank Howard and Ken McMullen hit back-to-back home runs for the Senators. Chicago pitcher Tommy John poled a round-tripper in the third inning. ' McLain pitched a four-hitter, A1 K aline walloped a two-run homer and Norm Cash chipped in with a solo shot as the Tigers sent Minnesota to its sixth loss in seven games. McLain went the rente for the first time this season in raising his record to 3-0. Yastrzemski and rookie George Scott each drove in three runs to help the Red Sox hand New-h York its seventh straight setback and 10th in 11 games. Boston shelled Yankee pitching for 12 hits and knocked out Bob Friend with a three-run sixth inning. Bobby Richardson, Roy White and Ray Barker each belted a home run for the Yankees. ”

NEW YORK UPI—It is only natural that a mother should be proud of her son. It is only natural that she can get a little carried away when she has just seen him become only the third man in boxing history to capture both the middleweight and welterweight tiUes “I think he’s the greatest!” ; That was Mrs. Smelda Griffith’s opinion of her son, Emile. It was not the opinion of 14,934 who watched him lift the middleweight crown from Dick Tiger on a 15-round decision, nor was it my opinion, either. For sure, it wouldn’t have been Cassius Clay’s.

Tulsa Oilers Smash Indians

TULSA, Okla. UPI — The Tulsa Oilers smashed Indianapolis 5-1 In the first game of a Pacific Coast League doubleheader Monday but the Indians rallied to break Tulsa’s sevengame winning streak in the

nightcap, 7-3.

Pitcher Steve Carlton allowed only four hits in the opener and singled in the winning run in the sixth. Later in the inning sentwfielder Tedj§avage cinched tfii fictary with a bases-loaded three-run double. The Indians chased Oiler starter and loser Dick Hughes in the sixth Inning of the second game by sewing two runs to erase a 3t2 Oiler lead. Indian catcher Duane Josephson put the game out of reach with a three-run homer in the seventh. The victory went to veteran Warren Hacker who pitched two perfect innings in

relief. 1

sleep. Some work, some don’t. But if you were at Madison Square Garden Monday night, you didn’t need anything else to put you to sleep. The Grif-fith-Tiger match did it perfectly in 45 minutes. Five times during the fight the crowd whistled and booed because of the lack of action •and five times Griffith and Tiger did absolutely nothing about it. It was difficult to put the bulk of the blame on either the winner or the loser. Both were equally at fault. Tiger, going on 37 and known as a plodder, stuck to the script and rarely was the aggressor. Griffith, faster and spryer at 27, normally could have been counted on to force the fight because he was going after Tiger’s title, but did he? He did not. Why?. Well, its something mental with Griffith, according to the way he explained it following the fight. “My strategy was to box and make him move,” he said. 'T let him come to me and I waited for an opening.” ' Tiger never came to Griffith but one thing you have to give Emile credit for, he had plenty of patience. He waited all night and that was the reason for all the whistling and booing.
