There was Tony Lema, going down in flames in the final round of the $100,000 Thunderbird Golf Tournament Sunday. First he held a seven-stroke lead over Mike Souchak with 13 holes to play, and suddenly he was one stroke behind with four to go. It was building up to be the biggest collapse since the stock market in 1929. Inside the Westchester Coun try Club, a big predepression pile that looks as if young Joan Crawford is going to pop out on a balcony any minute and do the Charleston, head waiter Frank Devito sat alongside the champagne and wondered if maybe he shouldn't get some lemonade on ice, just in case. He needn't have worried.

Lema redeemed his pledge to treat the press to champagne when he rapped in a pressure eight-foot putt on the 18th hole for his second straight birdie, and the $20,000 top prize. The birdie four gave him a Continued Page 41, Col. 7 Installed Exchange 588 DRAMATIC CLINCHER makes a spectacular dive Phils' Johnny Hernnstein end the game.

St. Louis is expected to go with lefthander Ray Sadecki or righthander Bob Gibson tomorrow night. The Giants, who won eight of 12 road games, rosed out the Phillies 4-3 in 10 innings Sunday in Philadelphia to complete a sweep of the series and stretch their league lead to a game and a half. Behind from the opening round until the ninth when old pro Duke Snider and rookie Jim Hart homered to tie the score, the game marked the third time in a row that manager Alvin Dark won a battle of wits with Gene Mauch, his opposite number on the Phils. It required considerable time, three hours and 34 minutes, all but three of the 24 available Giant players and a powerful pack of thinking.

But it was worth it. A defeat would have meant second place, the position they held when they left home May 27. Dark used four hurlers in that Continued Page 41. Col. 1 Baseball Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE Pet.

And there was plenty of managing done in the game, too. For instance, they can argue the wit and wisdom of Giant Manager Al Dark's strategy in having Richie Allen walked in the 10th, putting the potential winning run on base. Dark said he decided to "win or lose it right there." They can bicker about Dark's use of four pitchers in the very first inning of the game, to hold the Phils to two runs. "It was the ninth inning as far as I'm concerned." said Dark later.

Giant Orlando Cepeda for first base to put out the (left) in the 1 Oth inning and es too good to let them get too many runs." And they can argue the strategy in calling for a hit-and-run in the 10th with one out and two on.

Orlando Cepeda took the high-inside pitch and watched the Phillies trap Chuck Hiller between first and second and then nail Jesus Alou off third. Cepeda said, "If I swing at that pitch, I break my hands." Dark countered, "On a hit-and-run play, you've got to swing." But the one thing they can't argue are the results. The Giants flew back to San Francisco with a clean sweep of the three-game series with their closest contender and a I'z game National League lead. The managerial strategy that I'm only one homer away from him." The 33-year-old Banks, purchased by the Cubs from the Kansas City Monarchs in September. 1953, became the only player" in National League history to win Most valuable Player honors two years in a row when he was voted the award in 1958 and '59.

He continued to pound opposing pitchers through 1962. Then he slumped last year as he was stricken with a blood infection after a severe case of mumps. Sitting out the entire month of September, he finished with a .227 average, 18 homers and 64 runs batted in. "I thought I felt good, but I couldn't do anything," Banks said. "My only complaint was that I didn't do anything to help the club.

Stephens' pinch single in the eighth inning drove in the winning run Sunday as Chicago nipped Detroit 2-1 and com pleted a doubleheader sweep. There was a time when all Stephens needed to earn his keep in the big time was a ready glove. That was in the twilight of Williams' fabulous American League career. The Sp.endid Splinter would start in left field, do his damage at the plate, and then let Stephens han-d the fielding for the last few innings. But when Williams retired in 1960, Stephens had to come up with something more than five-fingered piece of leather to keep his job.

It took him three years and a trip to the minors but he appears to have done it Stephens drifted to Baltimore and Kansas City and then to In dianapolis in 1963 when, all of a sudden, he discovered his bat A .304 average with 17 homers earned him a look with the White Sox at the tailend of last season and he impressed with seven for 18 and a .389 average Chicago Manager Al Lopez re membered Stephens' bat in the eighth inning of Sunday's sec- ond game against Detroit. The White Sox had taken the opener 8-3 but were trailing 1-0 against Hank Aguirre in the nightcap Floyd Robinson led off the eighth and reached base on Jake Wood's error. A balk and a sac rifice moved Robinson to third and he scored on Ron Hansen's single. Don Buford's single put the winning run in scoring posi tion and Lopez called for Stephens. The veteran outfielder singled to left, delivering Hansen with the winning run and completing the sweep for the Chisox.

The double victory coupled with Minnesota's 5-2 victory over Baltimore put the White Sox in first place, a half-game in front of the Orioles.

The big first baseman made a diving stop of John Herrnstein's liner, headed toward right field, and.

made a one-handed grab flat on his face. He jumped to his feet, raced Herrnstein to the base, and made a lunging, crawling tag for the finale. "I don't see how I made it," Cepeda said later. "I don't believe it. I just don't believe it." Dark did.

In a bit of understatement, he later called it a "redeemer." And Gene Mauch, the Phils' manager? "I've seen weeks when the ball bounced better for the Phillies," he said later. Hines Cracks, Ties Junior Games Marks Jimmy Hines, the nation's fastest (prep) human, and Frank Slaton, possible heir apparent to that title, led a smashing of five national and 13 meet records in yesterday's exciting wind-up of the 14th annual Pacific Association AAU Junior Olympic Games at Castlemont High School. Hines, who only Saturday won the 100 and 220 at the California Interscholastic Championships at Los Angeles, ran wild again at Castlemont, tying the national record in the seniors' 100 at 9.6, lowering the 220 mark to 20.8, and running legs on 440 and 880 relay teams that eclipsed national standards.

"I feel real good, up there at the plate." Banks said after cracking a two-run homer Sunday that helped the Chicago Cubs to a 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Braves. Banks, rebounding from his worst season with the Cubs last year, beamed with happiness when told that the homer, the 360th of his career, broke his tie with Johnny Mize for 14th place among four-base belters and moved him to within one of Joe DiMaggio. "Of course, I know how many homers I have, but I don't watch records too closely." Banks said.

"Baseball itself is a matter of records. But it's a wonderful feeling to know you're in the category of Mize and DiMaggio. Just think. DiMaggio is a Hall of Fame man. a great player and a great man.
