Spahn Racte Up 300th Victory By Edging Cubs Braves Triumph 2-1; San Francisco Hands Reds Costly Setback Associated Press Sports Writer Tough games? Warren Spahn has pitched plenty of them. Remember Uie next to last day of the 1956 season? He pitched his heart out arid lost 2-1 in 12 innings at St. Louis--and the loss knocked Milwaukee put of the National League pennant. That same season he won No. 200--and he had to go 11 innings to nail it, 4-3 over Philadelphia.

Tough games? Maybe so. But rone, Spahn confesses, was as tough as the one he won Friday night. That was No. 300, a six-hit spme-tinglcr as the 40-year-old wonder beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 and became the 13th pitcher ever to win 300 in the majors' an achievement managed by only two other left-handers. Cimoli Provides Winner To do it, Spahoie had to i the first run himself, with a fifth-inning sacrifice fly, and out- duel Jack Curtis, a kid southpaw who was a 5-year-old when Spahn pitched his first game for the Braves in 1912.

It wasn't decided until Gino Cimoli hit a home run in the eighth inning. Spahn's success overshadowed the pennant race, in which San Francisco beat second-place Cincinnati and dropped the Reds 1V4 games behind the idle Los Angeles Dodgers. Pittsburgh beat Philadelphia 6-0 in a game called after 6 1-3 innings because of rain --and officially eliminated the last place Phils from the race with their 78th defeat, their 14lh in a row. Calls It "Toughest" "This was the toughest game I ever pitched," a smiling, seating Spahn admitted midst the cameras and champagne in the Braves' dressing room in Milwaukee's County Stadium. Ernie Banks, the Cubs' ailing slugger, pinch hit with two out in the nintti and reached first on a 'throwing error, by hird base- a Ed Matbews.

Jim McAnany then batted for Curtis (7-7) and Spahn got him on a soft fly for the last out. The Giants, after blowing a 1-0 lead, broke a 2-2 (ie in the sixth on a two-run single by Orlando Cepeda. Left-hander Jim O'Toole (11-9), who singled for the Reds' runs in the fifth, was the loser. Juan Marichal (10-1), right- hander, was the winner. Bob Clemenle drove in two runs with a double and a home run for the Pirates, who roughed up Robin Roberts (1-9) on his return from the disabled list with a five- run first inning.

Bob Friend (12-13) was the winner.

One runner al firs nase, after listening to his coach's instructions lo "steal on the new pilch" looked at him quizzically "Can I slide?" he asked.

There was an unusually small second baseman who was told lo "get on second" by his manager, anticipaling -an expected steal. The youthful Nellie Fox did just thai.
