Coming back to slug their way to a 6-4 triumph in the second game after dropping a heart-breaking 3-2 decision in the opener, the Phillies divided a double-header with the Chicago Cubs today before a capacity throng of 39,623. Turning both barrels on the Bruins' highly-touted Russ Meyer and his two successors, the Blue Jays collected 17 safeties in the nightcap, including Del Ennis' 14th the frenzy among 17,296 spectators as the A's. dissipating a five-run lead in the first game, waited until almost the last possible moment to gain their split for the day.

Kipple, only two strokes behind in medal score, was unable to take advantage of several opportunities. Besselink was the tourney medalist and Klipple the runner-up. Besselink took the lead on the second hole by sinking a 15-foot putt for a birdie three. Klipple evened the score at the fourth where he downed a 12-footer. MISSES OPPORTUNITY On the 125-yard sixth.

Klipple missed a wide-open opportunity. He was on the green in one, only 12 feet from the pin, while Besselink was over the green. Klipple three-putted to halve the hole. He lost the following to a birdie three, to go one down which was also the score on the ninth. On the 10th, Klipple evened the score once more by sinking a nine-footer for a birdie three.

On the next hole, a dubbed shot in front of the green cost him the hole and he was one down again. From that point on, Besselink had the upper hand, as his opponent failed to take advantage of openings. sixtn, and n- nally, with two out in the 11th, lodged it in the upper left stands to win the first game.

Robin Roberts, the Phils' young right-hander, lost control after hurling magnificent ball for eight and two-third innings. He hit two men and forced a run over the plate that broke a 2-2 tie and gave the Cubs their triumph. Great fielding by the Jays marked both games. Gran Hamner, Andy Seminick, Dick Sisler, Bert Haas and Johnny Blatnik all came up with1 splendid plays afield. Blix Donnelly did a clever bit of relief work in the second tilt when he pulled Rowe out of danger in the eighth and checked the Bruins in the ninth.
