CHICAGO, Sept. 8. - Early
Wynn retired only one Of the
first five batters he faced this
afternoon, but once he acquired
the knack of getting the Sena-
tors out he breezed to the 299th
victory Of a major league ca
reer that touches four decades.
The White Sox won, 6-3, as
Wynn not only advanced with
in a game Of becoming the 14th
pitcher to win 800 games, but
also passed Warren SPAIN on
the strikeout list. Wynn now is
seventh with 1924 for his ca
reer, one more than the Braves
southpaw.
Wynn had a time Of it In the
first inning. but he pitched out
Of the trouble, allowing two
runs. He had only one other
rough inning, the sixth, when
he escaped with one run after
the first three hitters singled.
Rudolph Gets Ratified
Don Rudolph started in re-
verse fashion, pitching three
hitless innings. An error and a
call by Umpire Larry Napp up
set him in the fourth, and he
was touched for four runs and
the ball game. Pete Burnside
and Jim Hannah finished,
neither with distinction
With 10 games remaining,
Wynn could have three shots
at the magic 300th. His next
starting assignment ordinarily
would come when the White
Sox play in Washington next
week end, but it is believed they
win save his try for the 300th
for his home park.
Bob johnson had q horrible
day at bat and at third base
and made Wynn's victory cas-
Ter. Wynn also put an abrupt
end to Jack Kennedy's hitting
heroics. The young shortstop
did not get the ball out of the
infield in four tries.
The White Sox had two
pitchers warming up in the
first inning. Both Of them
seemed to be throwing harder
than Wynn. but he didn't need
them.
Single for Piersall
Jim Piersall opened with a
sin gle and Chuck. Cottier
blooped a single to center, send
ing Piersall to third. Chuck
Hinton hit in his 18th consecu-
tive game, a single to left that
scored Piersall and sent Cottier
to third.
Bud zipfel struck out. The
White Sox, having learned of
Johnson's inadequacy as a
hitter with men on base, gave
Ken Retzer an Intentional pass,
loading the bases. johnson OBJ
liged by popping to second.
Don Lock scratched a hit to
deep short, scoring Cottier. but
Kennedy grounded to third and
Wynn was out of the inning
with two runs.
The White Sox didn't get the
ball out of the infield against
Rudolph for three innings. Luis
Aparicio singled past Kennedy's
glove to open the fourth, and
Joe Cunningham dumped a
bunt down the third-base line.
johnson seemingly playing too
far back in the situation.
reached the ball but threw wild
to first, the runners advancing
to second and third. The play
was scored as a bunt single and
error.
Floyd Robinson lined a single
to center, scoring both runners.
After walking Jim Lands,
Rudolph appeared out Of trouble
as Mike Hershberger flied to
left and Nellie Fox looked at a
third called strike for the first
time this year. Fox said some
thing that Napp didn't like and
was thrown out of the game.
Three Hits in Row
Napp then called a ball three
on a % pitch to Camilo Car
reon, and Rudolph stalked
around the mound, throwing
the ball in his glove, slamming
the resin bag and acting peev-
ish. Robinson smacked his
next pitch for a double, scor-
ing two runs. After an inten-
tional walk to Sam Esposito,
Rudolph retired Wynn on a
popup, but Manager Mickey
Vernon had seen enough.
Hinton, Zipfel and Retzer
lined singles to open the sixth
and force more activity in the
White Sox bullpen. johnson,
however, failed to sacrifice by
fouling two pitches and then
flied out. Neither Lock nor
Kennedy could get the runners
home.
NOTES-HarTy Bright will
be out for about two weeks
with his bruised rib cartilage.

celebrations by shortstops. The

child for the Hamlins is Mi
