The gopher ball Is putting the
Milwaukee Braves in a hole.
The Chicago Cubs orbited five
homers Sunday for a 10-2victo- games,
ry over the fourth-place Braves
that dropped them 2 Vi games
off the National League lead
with their sixth consecutive de-
feat.
And the gopher ball has
proved the Braves* undoing in
all six games. During that
stretch the apposition has
scored 31 runs — 23 coming an
12 homers.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, held
on to their lVi-gamc lead
despite a 13-3 clubbing by Phila-
delphia as the chasers continu-
ed to hop up and down the stand-
ings.
Willie Mays hit a league
record 17th homer in one month
as San Francisco belted the
New York Mets 8-3 and moved
into second place. Cincinnati
dropped to third, one percent-
age point behind the Giants and
1V4 games back of the Dodgers,
after a 10-4 loss toSt. Louis.
Tiie streaking Pittsburgh Pi-
rates climbed back to within 4V4

In the American League,
Cleveland defeated Minnesota
3-1, Washington edged Balti-
more 5-4 in 12 innings, Detroit
nipped the Los Angeles Angels
2-1, the New York Yankees
downed Kansas City 4-3 and the
Chicago White Sox took two
from Boston by 3-2 scores, the
first in 14 innings.
Billy Williams started the
Cubs’ homer assault in the third
inning, Santo hit a two-run shot
in die sixth and Banks followed
with his first. Banks hit a three-
run homer in the eighth — Mo.
399 of his career—before Santo
wrapped it up with a ninth in-
ning solo. W ith that.support, Bill
Faul had it easy as he brought
his record to 4-3 by scattering
seven Milwaukee hits.

For Tonight
A 5 p.m. Tuesday deadline
for picking up season tickets
for Levelland’s home games is
fast approaching at the school
tax office.
Business Manager O.R. Wat-'

date as “normal” but said “a <
good many still remain un-'

Those tickets not reclaimed
by their present holders by the
deadline will be sold to the
public on a first come, first

The book of five tickets for
the Lobo home games sells for
17.50. J
Hie Phillies blasted five
Dodger pitchers starting with
Claude Osteen, 11-13, for four
homers and three triples as Ri-
chie Allen collected one of
each. Alex Johnson, who wound
up with four hits, Pat Corrales
and Bobby Wine also homered
while Dick Stuart and Tony
Taylor joined the triple hitters.
Ray Culp, 9-9, checked the
DDdgers on five hits.
Mays broke Ralph Kiner*s
record for most homers in one
month, and moved to within one
of Rudy York’s major league
mark, when he hit a three-run
shot that climaxed the Giants’
five-run outburst in the third
inning. The homer also was
Mays’ 41st of the season and No.
494 of his career, moving him
ahead of Lou Gehrig into fifth
place on the all time list.
The Cardinals got the job
done against the Reds with two
surges. Dick Groat keyed a five-
run outburst against Sammy
Ellis, 17-8, with a two-run sin-
gle in the second inh'ng and Ju-
lian Javier stroked a two-run
single in a four-run fifth. Ray
Sadecki, a 20-game winner for
St. Louis last season, won his
fourth against 11 losses.
Tulia Romps in Scrimmage
LEVELLAND’S LOBOS
WALKED into a Hornets’ nest,
both literally and figuratively
Saturday afternoon as they en-
gaged Tulia in a scrimmage
session at Tulia.
The H omets loaded like a team
that was ready to take to the
field for real as they soared
10 touchdowns while limiting
the locals to only two.
In a controlled session, with
each team beginning their of-
fensive efforts from their own
40 yard line and keeping poss-
ession for 10 minute stints,
the Hornets managed at least
one TD each time they owned
the ball.
Tulia’s defense stymied the
Lobos so well during Level-
land’s first two times on of-
fense that the locals made only
one first down during the two
19-minute periods.
ON THE HORNETS’ FIRST
try they met with success on
end runs and marched the 60-
yard distance for a score. The

Cleveland’s National Football

wrecking the West in preseason
play — which means nothing
but trouble for the East when
the Browns open their title de-
fense next month.
With big Jim Brown playing
part-time — but producing the
same devastating results — and
rookie Dale Lindsay sparkling
on defense, the Browns whipped
their one-time nemesis, the De-
troit Lions, 28-14Sundayfora4-
0 exhibition record.
It was the Browns’ eighth
straight preseason victory
after an opening loss to San
Francisco last year. Six of the
Browns’ victims have been
from the rugged Western Divi-
sion. This year Cleveland

College All Stars, then topped

at Detroit.
Brown scored two of the three
Cleveland touchdowns in the
first half, one on a 43-yard
burst, before calling it a day.
Lindsay, a linebacker from
Western Kentucky who was the
club's No. 7 draft choice, camo
up with two key pass intercep-
tions, the second setting up the
clinching fourth-quarter score.
The Dallas Cowboys loomed
as the major threat to the
Browns in the spotty Eastern
Division after stalling Green
Bay 21-12 Saturday night for
their first victory ever against
the stacked Packers. The Cow-
boys, beaten in their first two
starts, lim’ted the Green Bay
attack — which had averaged
37.5 points per gam 2 in two vic-
tories — to four field goals.
Elsewhere in the NFL Satur-
day, Minnesota held off Wash-
ington 20-16, extending its un-
beaten exhibition streak to nine
games; Baltimore riddled
Pittsburgh 38-10; Chicago, pac-
ed by rookie Gayle Sayers,
downed Los Angeles 28-14 and
Philadelphia overpowered the
New Yorit Giants 34-13.

action Saturday.
ball went back to the Tulia 40
and the Hornets started again
and on second down unreeled
a 73 yard run for another touch-
down. It was almost the same
story again as the Hornets got
their third six-point play in the
10-minute period one down la-
ter on a 35 yard pass to the
Levelland 27 and went on to
score again.
Two long runs were respon-
sible for tallies in the second
Tulia offensive turn but a penal-
ty nullified one. Tommy Shep-
herd sprinted 65 yards for one
and Jerry Jackson went 60 yards
However, Jackson's spa 'kllng
run was wiped out for holding.

Al Geiberger
Big Winner
By JOE MOOSHIL
AKRON. Ohio (AP) — Al Gei-
berger didn't need any peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches to
capture the $100,000 American
Golf Classic Sunday. Bat he
took them along and ate, any-
way.
Geiberger took a five-stroke
lead into the final round and
although he shot a two-over-par
35-37—72 no one offered a chal-
lenge as the thin man wan his
first major tournament and
pocketed the top prize of $20,-
000.
Gieberger, 6-foot-2Vi, said
he has dropped to 155 pounds.
The winds which buffeted the
Firestone course during the
first three rounds failed to ruf-
fle him as he finished the 72
holes at an even par 280.
Geiberger, who has a pattern
of skipping every fourth tourna-
ment because “I’m just not
strong enough”, revealed his
peanut butter and jelly routine
while being questioned about his
obvious lack of stamina.
gest gains were a 14 yard run
by Gay ion Seagler and a 12
yarder by Mike Pynes. Level-
land made it to the Tulia 17 but
the hosts recovered an errant
pitchout to send the Lobos bade
to their own 40. From there the
Lobos worked their way to the
Tulia’s 40 and Ronnie Fite
took a pass from Jack Geffken
into the end zone.
A 30 yard aerial got Tulia
its fifth TD and then back-to-
back penalties for pass inter-
ference and piling on put the
Hornets on the Levelland 18
and on the next play Jackson
picked his way through the Lo-
bo defense for another score.
A PASS FROM JOE TUBB to
Clay Krueger plus 15 for a per-
sonal foul put the Lobos on the
Tulia 20 and then Tubb hit Da-
vid Whitsett for four to the 16
before consecutive no-gainers
ate up the dbwns and ended the
m*rch.
Tulia’s fourth offensive thrust
netted three TDs. On second
down a 60 yard run for the dis-
tance was called back for clip-
ping, moving the Hornets to Lev-
elland’s 35. One play later a
27 yard run around the Lobo
left end got the tally. The Lo-
bos then held the Hornets with-
out a yard gained during the
next series but when the host
team started again with a fresh
series of downs they used just
four plays to m.<ve the distance
and then just two to mr ve to
another score.
PASSES FROM TUBBS TO
Whitsett and Krueger got the
Lobos to the Tulia 25 before
the next Lobo offensive stalled
but Levelland started over again
with the same formula. A 35-
yard aerial to Krueger and a
25 yard pass to Whitsett gut the
Lobos their second score. . ■, •
Tulia used its ffito and find
turn to unreel three more scar-
ing thrusts. The Hornets scored
on two Mg running plays. The
first was called bad: for hold-
ing and on toe next play Shep-
herd went all toe way. The
Tulia team then drove for an-
other tally on the ground and was
moving for another as time ran
out with them on toe Levelland
seven.

Ron Hansen had 28 chances.
Hie Chicago White Sax will set-
tle for one.
Hansen, Chicago’s busy short-
stop, set a major league record
with his chances while helping
the White Sox improve theirs in
the American League pennant
race.
The White Sox swept a pair of
3-2 games from Boston Sunday
and moved to within 6V£ games
of league-leading Minnesota,
which lost to Cleveland 3-1.
Hansen had a total of 18 as-
sists and pu touts in toe 14-inn-
ing opener and 10 in the second
game, erasing the old record
for a shortstop in s double-
header of 26 established by
Arky Vaughan of Pittsburgh in
1940.
His first-game total also tied
the AL mark for an extra-inning
game shared by four other play-
ers.
The double victory certainly
enhanced whatever chance toe
White Sox may have for over-
hauling Minnesota. They, or
anyone else, were given virtual-
ly no chance two weeks ago.
But since Aug. 13 Chicago has
won 15 gamog and lost only four
while toe Twins have been 9-8,
As a result the White Sox have
stormed from fifth place, 11 Vi
games out, to second, 6Vfc out.
In other games Sunday De-
troit edged Los Angeles 2-1,
Washington nipped Baltimore 5-
4 in 12 innings and New York
halted Kansas City’s four-game
winning streak 4-3.
In toe National League Phila-
delphia trounced Los Angeles
13-3, San Francisco whipped
New York 8-3, Chicago walloped
Milwaukee 10-2, St. Louis
crushed Cincinnati 10-4 and
Pittsburgh trimmed Houston 4-
2.
Rookie pitcher Stove Hargan
halted repeated Minnesota
threats in toe first six innings.
The Twins got 10 runners in
scoring position in that time,
but only one — Zoilo Vers alien
— made it home. Fred Whitfield
drove in two Cleveland ran
with a sacrifice fly and a single.
New York snapped its score-
less string at 21 i—ty and
went on to defeat toe Athletics
behind home runs by vi«fa»i
Howard and Jake Gibbs. Al
Downing, now 11-12, allowed
just five hits and struck out 12.
The Senators downed Balti-
more for toe sixth straight time,
scoring toe winning run in the
12th when Brooks Robinson
threw wildly on Ken Hamlin’s
single. Washington had tied it 4-
4 in the sixth on s walk to Jim
Kii« and Woodie Held's triple.
Ray Oyler*s seventh-inning
homer brought Detroit’s four-
game losing streak to an end
and extended Fred Newman's
losing string to six. Newman
forced in s first-taming run by
hitting Willie Horton with the
bases loaded, and Los Angeles
tied it in toe second on singles
by Bobby Knoop, Bob Rodgers
and Paul Schaal.

Associated Press Sports Writer
ESCONDIDO, Calif. (AP) —
Too good to win?
That’s toe problem facing the
Western Division champion San
Diego Chargers in toe American
Football League.
Coach Sid Gillman says it al-
most happened last year.
“We did not have a good foot-
ball team ’ast year,” Gillmxn
explained. “We won because
others lost. We didn’t have
enough coordination — as a
matter of fact I don’t think we
came dose to being as good as
our 1963 team, which won toe
chainpionship.
“If we play like last year we
can’t win it”
And it’s complacency that
probably would be toe only
thing that could keep toe Charg-
ers from winning toe Western
crown. It’s generally accepted
that the Chargers have the best
personnel in toe division.
Whether it plays up to its poten-
tial, however, is another prob-
lem.
There has been some question
whether John Hadl, entering his
fourth year, is ready to take
over at quarterback for toe re-
tired Tobin Rote. The statistics
say he is.
Except for Rote, last year’s
title team remains intact with
the addition of standout rookies
in defensive end Steve DeLong
from Tennessee, linebacker
Rick Re ton in from Washington,
quarterback Steve Tonal from
Florida State and unheral&Kl
Gene Foster, a hard-running
back from Arizona State.

Grid Death Toll
Rises to Five
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The death of a 17-year-old
high school player in San Anto-
nio, Tex., has raised toe toll of
football fatalities to five in toe
past four days.
Cruz Medellin, who collapsed
after a tackling drill last Friday
at Lanier High School, died Sun-
day in a San Antonio hospital. A
blood vessel had ruptured at toe
base of toe youngster's brain.
A college sophomore and
three schoolboys died during
practice sessions Thursday and
Friday.
The death of John C. Devlin,
19-year-old fullback at South
Carolina State College, Orange-
burg, S.C., was attributed to
s unstrike. Heat prostration
also claimed David Toynbee,
15, of Atlanta, after a Forest
SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) —
Paul (Big Poison) Waner, mem -
ber of baseball’s Hall of Fame
and pound for pound one of toe
greatest players in the history
cf toe game, is dead at 62.
Waner, nicknamed Big Poison
because at 153 he weighed three
pounds more than his brother,
Lloyd (Little Poison), died at
his home hero Sunday. He had
been in failing health for sever-
al years and underwent surgery
last March, but cause of death
was not announced.
The Waner brothers played
with the Pittsburgh Pirates for
many years and formed one of
the most famous brother com-
binations in baseball, starring
both afield and at toe plate.
“Pound for pound, Paul was
the greatest,” said his close
friend, Heinie Manush, also a
Hall of Famer. “I knew him
since 1927. What a great guy he
was I”
W aner was also an out-
standing golfer and wan toe Na-
tional Baseball Players* Golf
Championship in 1938, beating
Babe Ruth in toe finals.
After he retired from base-
ball, Paul settled in Sarasota
and his golfing partner was
Manush, a former star with
Washington and Cleveland.
Both Paul and Lloyd, who sur-
vives, stood 5-foot-8Vfc;bothhad
exceptional speed and fine coor-
dination. They learned baseball
on toe farm at Harr ah, Okie*
where they grew up.

League championship in hand

today.
Everybody except possibly
coach Tom Landry figured when
the Cowboys beat Green Bay
21-12 Saturday night-—foe first
victory over foe mighty Packers
in the six-year history of Dallas
pro football—toe Cowboys were
on their way at last. Green Bay
scored only via foe field goal.
“It was an exceptionally wall
co-ordinated effort and toe team
tried real hard,” said Landry.
“But wa have a lot of developing
to do on offense where we have
a lot of youngsters.”
He added, “It’s always good to
beat toe Packers, because when
you beat toe best in pro football
then you've done something.”
And he said the Packers wars
just as good as they ever had
been and that they were “foe
Packers of old; we just had toe
big plays to stop them.”
Hie coach could have been
remembering that Dallas has
won only 19 games out of 68,
league and exhibition, in its five
foil years and fraction of one hi
the NFL.
Paul Harming, star Green Bay
halfheck, was unequivocal whsa
he declared that Dallas had “toe
toughest defense we’ve seen
this year.” The Packers al-
ready had played and beaten
New York and Chicago by deci-
sive scores.
The fact that Honmag’tented
up losing tore# yards running
against Dallas could have in-
fluenced his statement. Also foe
fact that Green Bay was bald
without a touchdown for toe first
time in two years—after SS
games. - -
