nant race Is getting more in
teresting all the time.

The flag hopes of the Reds,
who are 61z back In third, suf-
fered q setback when they were
beaten, 5-4, by the Braves.
The Cardinals, whose dis
guSted" boss, August Busch,
threatened to trade almost
everyone, including the peanut
vendors, dropped a 4-3 battle
to Houston in 10 innings, when
the winning run scored on an
error.
The Phillies and Nets strug-
gled for is innings before the
PhilS won, 81.
Sanford ran his record to To-
6 as he tanned the Cubs on eight
hits. Ernie Banks drove in both
Cub runs. one with his 30th
homer.
The victory was the fifth
straight for the Giants and
ninth in their last 10. Mays
homer-he leads the majors
was good for three runs. Chuck
Hitler also had a homer and
Harvey Kuenn contributed
three hits.
Hubs Tied Record

Cubs second baseman, tied a
National League record by COM

every inning except the ninth
but couldn't locate the plate.
The only Dodger run off AL

Pirates got one in the first in
ming on doubles by Bob Gle

in So attempts, was thrown out
trying to steal second in the
seventh inning. He was the
first Dodger caught stealing
in 16 tries by the Pirates this
season. Smoky Burgess made
the throw that nipped Wills.

cinnati winning streak at nine
for the second time this season.
They had done it on July 81.

CIV Calls Out "A PLAYERS
For Tough 10-Gome Slate

Substitutions when CIV goes
on defense include Ron Cind-
rich for Stone. joining Scollick
at linebacker; Tony Fredicine
for Drummond and possibly
Buddy Pollock for Pazzaglia
This defensive trio also is made
up of lettermen, although
Cindrich missed last season be-
cause of injury.
DrummOnd Doomed
1t will be difficult for the
reserves to move any Of these
men out of their positions and
next to impossible in the case
of two of them-Drummond
and Scollick.
Drummond carried his 200
pounds and the football for 632
yards and eight touchdowns
last fall as a sophomore, and
he's currently getting a soft
sell as an All-America candi-
date.
Scollick has grown to 225
pounds and gave a hint in
spring workouts that he could
be a tremendous performer at
guard and linebacker in his
senior season.
