Johnson of the Houston Colt
15s got a four run lead against
I he New York Mets before'he
tjver threw a pitch last night,
and for the hardluck Johnson
this is a bad sign, even against
I he Mets.
The Colts extended their los-
ing streak to four games as the
Mets, behind the brilliant re-
lief pitching of Bill Wakefield
and the ex - “Yankee Killer”
Frank Lary, downed the .45s
1 r-4. ' ■■
The Mets overcame a 4-2 de-
ficit in the seventh inning when
they scored five runs resulting
from three base hits, two er-
rors, two hit batsmen and a
base on balls. Only one of the
Mets’ runs was earned.
Hal Woodeshick took the loss
by working only one third of an
inning. His record now reads

19 batters. Simmons in getting
the win struck out five and al-
lowed as many hits.
Joe Ickes scored both of the
winners runs and each time
there were two outs.
The Cardinals only went six
innings to defeat the Orioles but
it was also a close one; 5-2.
Blaine Donnelly and Willie
Woods toiled on the mound for
the Orioles,, with Donnelly re-
ceiving the loss. Lester Butler
