He said if I had to get mad at any- body, I should get mad at the pitcher. So I did.” A jubilant Jim Rhodes was stretched out on the rubbing table in the clubhouse last night trying to explain to reporters how he won the game for the New York Giants over the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was Rhodes’ pinch hit with the bases loaded and two out in the bottom half of the 13th inning that scored two runs and gave the Giants their thrilling 4-3 victory that increased their league lead over their interborough rivals to two games. “Loes (pitcher Billy Loes) threw me two fast balls, both way in- side,” he said with gestures, “but | the ump (Plate Umpire Frank Se- cory) called ‘em both strikes. The second one missed the plate by the length of this Coca Cola bottle. “Sure, I was mad, and I guess T told him a thing or two. That’s | when Leo (Giant Manager Leo Durocher) came out to talk to me. “Forget the umpire. Get ready | for the next pitch,’ he said as he/ was walking back to the dugout. | I sure was ready. It was a real | good fast ball—real good.

And, if Dykes gets the nod and breaks Mims’ 10-straight vietory string (many think he may do it) Dykes would put himself in a top challenging position. On the eve of their scrap, Mims was favored at 7-5, but experts predicted the pair would enter the ring at even money or with Dykes possibly holding a slight edge be- cause of his experience. Dykes, who has been fighting professionally since 1946, has worked his way up from among the better welterweights to a highly respected position in the middle- weight class. He has fought more than twice as many bouts as Mims, ringing up 94 victories in 112 tries, 4T of them knockouts. He’s lost 13 and fought 5 draws. Mims has entered the ring 49 times—winning 34, losing 11 and getting 4 draws. Only seven of his victories have been knockouts.

So far their ‘supply has seemed al- most unlimited. They pulled another one out of the hat last night, beating their bitter_rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers, 43 in 13 innings when Dusty Rhodes delivered a two-out, pinch- hit single with the bases loaded and the Giants a run behind. It was the 10th time this season that the Giants have won in their last chance at bat. weeks ago yesterday a ninth-inning double by Monte Irvin drove in two runs for a 6-5 victory over Milwaukee. Two dayé later, still in Milwaukee, rookie Bill Tay- lor delivered a pinch homer in the 10th for a 1-0 victory that moved the New Yorkers into a first-place tie with Brooklyn. Nineteen games later they are two lengths in front of the Dod- gers. During that time they’ve won 16 and lost 3, and six of those vic- tories came in the final inning. Brooklyn twice tried to steal the script last night. Trailing 2-0 aft- er eight innings, the Dodgers kept the game alive as Jackie Robinson singled with one out in the ninth and rode home on Roy Campan- ella’s two-out homer over the left- field grandstand. In the top of the 13th rookie Don Hoak sliced a ho- mer into the nearby right-field seats. But in their half of the 13th the | — Giants sandwiched three walks around two outs and Rhodes turned the crowd of 51,464 into a bedlam | with his hit up the middle. Elsewhere in the National League the Chicago Cubs lost their llth in a row, 7-0 to Milwaukee; Philadelphia whipped Pittsburgh 40; and Cincinnati crushed St. Louis 11-4. Cleveland picked up half a game on Chicago in the American League and now leads the White Sox by two games. The Indians beat Bal- | timore 5-1 but Chicago had to settle for a split in a twin bill with De- Art Houtteman of the Indians broke a five-game Baltimore win ning streak with a five-hitter. One of the Orioles’ hits was a sing: by Dick Kryhoski, who stretched dinals continued to sink deeper into econd division. Gus Bell led the vincinnati attack with a home run and two singles and the Redlegs took advantage of two errors and three hit batsmen. Detroit jumped ahead of the White Sox in the first game as Harvey Kuenn opened with a home Jack Gorge, backcourt ace of the Philadelphia Warriors in the N. B. A., has switched from bas- run and the Tigers added a dozen}ket ball to baseball. He is play- more hits in piling up their seven- ing for Lancaster, Pa., in the Class run winning margin. Sandy Con-/B Piedmont “dewenpes ose suegra checked them on three safeties in the nightcap, which was cae ranty on shortened to eight innings by the league curfew. Mickey Mantle paced the Yankee © with a . Dy assault on the Boston pitching; corps with four hits in five times up, including a triple. Harry Byrd, unaccustomed to such robust sup- Port, weakened in the closing in- nings and needed help from Tom Gorman. Arnold Portocarrero, a_ likely looking rookie, won his fifth straight for the Athletics with the help of a Washington error by Mickey Vernon and a triple by Bill Renna. Jim Wilson of the Braves, who was on the market for $10,0 with no takers until he pitched a no- hitter earlier this month, turned in his fifth victory without a loss and his third shutout in beating the hapless Cubs.
