timism stems from the return to form of righthander Jim Grant and outfielder Tony Oliva, both of whom played ■uch an important role in the Minnesota pennant of 1965. Grant, pitching his first game since June 19, tossed a complete game In the opener while allowing only eight hits. Two of the hits were home runs by Mickey Mantle which put the Yankee elugger ahead of Mel Ott and into fifth place on the all-time home run list with 512. Grant, however was virtually untouchable through the first

half games off the pace. Dick McAuliffe also homered for the Tigers, who tagged Steve Har-

gan with the loss.

ST. PAUL - MINNEAPOLIS UPI —Erratic Stove Barber, the only Baltimore Oriole pitcher to win 20 games in modern times, Tuesday was purchased by the New York Yankee! for the $20,000 waiver price. The Orioles also will receive a major league player at the end at the season and a minor league player in a few days. The Orioles also indicated they’ll swing another wavier with another major league team soon to replace Barber on the

roster.

Barber, plagued by wildness’ all this season, got off to a 10-3 start in 1966 but then was sidelined most of the second half of the year with tendonitis and finished at 10-5. He missed the World Series sweep of the

Dodgers.

Afterwards, Ford said.

words."

Elsewhere in the National League, St. Louis lost to Cincinnati 1-0, New York nipped San Francisco 8-7. Pittsburgh edged Los Angeles 9-7 and Philadelphia swept a doubleheader from Hosuton 9-0 and 4-3. In the American League, Minnesota swept two from New York, 8-3 and 7-6. Washington won the opener from Kansas City 4-3 but lost the second game 4-0, Chicago blanked Baltimore 4-0. Detroit beat Cleveland 6-1 and California nipped Boston 4-3. Gary Nolan held the Cardinals to three hits to give Cincinnati its victory. But St. Louis gained first place despite the loss because Chicago lost its doubleheader. Deron Johnson doubled in Pete Rose in the ninth for the only run of the game to pin the loss on Larry Jaster. Nolan, who is just 19, now has a 7-2 record. The Mets finally caught up with San Francisco’s Juan Marichal, who went into the game with a 19-0 record against them. The Mets collected 14 hits and eight runs in 5% inning to beat Marichal. Jim Ray Hart’s error that opened the gates for three unearned runs in the first inning and a two-run single by Ron Swoboda in the sixth inning were the key plays. Pittsburgh snapped a 7-7 tie in the eighth on Joe Pagan’s sacrifice fly and Roberto Clemente’s fourth hit to beat the Dodgers. The Pirates pinned the loss on Bob Miller after the Dodgers had rallied for four in the eighth off Juan Pizarro and A1 McBean to tie the game. Roy Frace worked one inning to gain the victory. John Callison singled in Johnny Briggs off Barry Latman in the 11th to complete the Phils’ sweep of Houston. Houston had rallied to tie the game 3-3 in the eighth with two of the runs coming on Jim Wynn’s 19th homer off Jim Bunning. In the first game, Chris Short pitched a three-hit shutout for his second straight victory since coming off the injured list. The Phils erupted for five runs in the second inning to chase starter Dave Giusti and decide the contest
