(By Associated Press

The flashy Phillies appeared a

had Sal Maglie been given starting
assignments sooner.

Four" In the past seven weeks
the Leo Durocher's men have won
"a games while losing II. During
the same stretch, the Phils have
won 80 and lost the same number.
Off to a ragged start, the Giants
today were no better than fourth
place, 1Ola games behind the Phils.
Eddie Sawyers youthful league

Dodgers with but Is games left to

Except for a 80 loss by Hearn
to Boston on Aug. 9, the Giants
.wo new pitching aces have achieved
perfect records since becoming
starters. Maglie has won all his
nine starts. Hearn has won eight
of nine.
The duo didn't yield run yes
terday as they hurled the Giants to
a double shutout over the Phils, 20
and 90. Hearn gave up only five
hits and Maglie nine.
Despite their double loss, the Pills
didn't lose an inch of ground as the
Dodgers bowed in both ends of their
Labor Day doubleheader to the
Braves in Boston, ia and 80.
The Cincinnati Reds moved to

Beginning the final series of the
season, Oakland swert a double

Elsewhere in the League:
Portland split a double header,

San Francisco took two straight

San Diego shared honors with
Sacramento, dropping the first l to

The Oaks fattened their lead with
The double barreled win, edging
their victory total almost up to the
century mark. Second place San
Diego, with only one win in the
days play, dropped five games be-
hind.
At Los Angeles, the opener was a
SIS deadlock in the ninth but visit
ing Oakland scored twice after two
were out. In the nightcap the Angels
had runners on first and second
with nobody out in the final frame
but failed to cash in.
At San Francisco, Con Dempsey
pitched a tight four hitter to give
the Seals the first game. The second,
q seven-inning affair, was tied in
the final frame and Jim Moran
broke it up with single to center
field with the bases loaded.
At Portland the second game was
called at the end of the eighth be-
cause of curfew, but it was scarcely
a contest. Portland, after losing the
first, was way out in front with a
seven run lead when the whistle
blew.

Foot in Mouth

The letter from BUS Operator" has
aroused nae to unload an old and serious
grievance on the subject. The gentleman
objects to other drivers passing him on
the right side In writing that objection.
he Internationally brings his own fault
to light, fault which is unfortunately
prevalent among local drivers.
To get to the point. If every driver.
particularly those in large vehicles. would
follow the basic rule Of the road and
keep to the right when not passing or
turning left there would be no reason
or opportunity for anyone to pass on the
right. Center lanes are for rapid traffic.
Stop-and-go vehicles like Buses and the
"not-over-t twenty" club, should keep
right.
This latter group. the "creeps," are
the core Of Washington's traffic problem.
The District has a traffic law covering
the unreasonably slow driver who. i'm
pedeS traffic fow. but apparently 1t Is
only on the books. and not in the con-
ciousness OF the public or the police.
Maybe few tickets would help.
Hotrods are bad, but the other extreme
Is just as bad, and may turn normal
drivers into "hotrods." Nobody likes q
COtu supper dIiu al lThGc Wue. IlIILly
believe the Washington's main traffic
problem is not the number of vehicles.
1t lies in the poor quality of some drivers.
Professional.
It is astonishing that a professional
driver should thus imply that he is
traffic law violator. It is furthermore
discouraging to discover that profess
sional driver is either ignorant of or
Indifferent to the traffic regulations.
The law. which is similar throughout all
States, requires driving in the right or
outside lane except when passing. Driv-
ing in the left hand lane except when
passing is being just as bad road hog
as driving In the middle section Of two
lanes. It denies the entire road to any
one going in the same direction, unless
he breaks the law by passing on the right.
Kenneth w. Perry.
can't see how anyone could pass him
on the right hand side unless he was
driving at slow speed. and If he was.
he should be in the right hand lane him-
SELF sS
He's probably one OF those guys that
pulls right out from the curb because
he's driving large vehicle.
