Koufax, bringing his record to 22-7, was overpowering with his assortment of fast balls and breaking stuff, striking out the last six batters he faced and LOS ANGELES (AP) Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitched a perfect game Thursday night in a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs and became the first pitcher in baseball history to pitch four no-hitters in his career. Outpitching Bob Hendley in the brilliant duel between the two left-handers, Koufax marked off his fourth no-hitter perfect game. He also closed in on another Koufax struck out 14, lifting his major league leading total to 332, as he posted the first perfect game in his sparkling 11-year career, the eighth in modern history and only the third in National League annals, following Jim Bunning's last year.

He also eclipsed all multiple no-hit hurlers. Feller, the longtime Cleveland ace, pitched no-hitters in 1940, 1946 and 1951 and was the only modern pitcher besides Koufax to have as many as three no-hitters. Corcoran pitched three pre- of baseball's most spectacular achievements, Feller's alltime strikeout record of 348 in one wildly. That was enough for the Dodgers, who remained one-half game back of first-place San Francisco in the tight National League pennant race. The only hit off Hendley and the only hit of the game was Johnson's bloop double to right field with two out in the seventh inning.

Koufax, a 29-year-old fireball-er whose career was in jeopardy three years ago because of a circulatory ailment in his pitching hand, achieved a baseball seven of the last nine. In the eighth he faced two of the Cubs' hardest-hitting players, third baseman Ron Santo and Ernie Banks. He struck out both, then ended the inning by fanning Byron Browne, rookie left fielder. Then, in the ninth as the ten in consecutive years and sur passed the record for multiple no-hitters held by Bob Feller, Denton (Cy) Young and Larry Corcoran. sion mounted before a crowd of 1900 no-hitters for the Cubs, in 1830, 1882 and 1884.

There were no tough chances for the Dodger fielders as Koufax completely subdued the Cubs, and only seven batters hit the ball well enough to get them to the outfield. Outfield Flies In the second inning, Browne lofted one to center field. In the third.

Krug flied to center and Hendley, who allowed only one hit, was reached for a run 29,139, Koufax fired a third strike past the young Cubs' wilt, Jjf- in the fifth inning when the plateau no other hurler has catcher, Krug.
