After Victory
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—“That
center fielder puts out one thou-
sand per cent < ’all the time. He
really wants to win in any way
l he can.’*
Manager Bill Rijpiey waxed en-
thusiastic again--over Willie Mays
■after his San Francisco Giants de-
feated Milwaukee 5-4 in the 12th
toning Thursday and remained on
the heels of the National League
leading Braves in the pennant
race.
■Mays slapped four singles in
five official trips to make it 10
hits in 16 at bats for the three-
game series. He boosted his bat-
ting average to .424, just .002 be-
hind the pace-setting Stan Musial.
■d Going into tonight’s opener here
against the Cincinnati Redlegs
With Harvey Haddix (3-3) oppos-
ing the Giants’ Ramon Monzant
(4-3) on the mound, the San Fran-
ciscans stand just 10 percentage
points behind the Braves, who
move to Los Angeles,
o A total of 63,711 fans watched
the three-game series in which
toe Braves won the first two by
one run margins. That surpassed
the 58,703 who saw the opening
three-game set with Los Angeles
here.
.Rookie first baseman Orlando
Cepeda hit his fourth straight sin-
gle to knock in the winning run.
After the game someone asked
Rigney if he thought the 20-year-
cdd Puerto Rican has made the
gvede in the major league.
"I’ve never seen many who
have a better chance,’’ the mana-
ger replied. ‘‘None of the pitchers
beat him out of anything. He
xeally hit a screamer in that
12th.”
