Su per Cripple Mote Leads AcMng-: Dodgers leto First Hot Mets Trim Cubs' Lead To Four Games "Sometimes when you think you're really crippled and don't! have a chance, that's when you get hot," said manager Walter had put the Braves ahead 1-0 with his 23rd home run and 533rd of his career. Willie Davis singled Mota to third and they both scored when Orlando Cepe-da threw wildly to second trying to trap Davis in a rundown. In the third inning, Mota singled and was out trying for a double.

In the fourth, he doubled a run home and was out trying for third. In the sixth he got a harmless single and he flied out in the eighth. Mota singled in the first inning of the second game and stole second, but was stranded. He wasted a singel in the third five runs In the eighth to whip the Astros and Larry Dierker. Ken Henderson's single tied the -score 3-3, newly acquired John Stephenson singled home the lead run and singles by Tito 1 Fuentes and Ron Hunt, each of whom doubled in a run in the seventh, produced three more.

Jim Wynn homered twice for the losers. Bob Gibson, staked to five early runs, including Phil Gagli- ano's first homer, survived a shaky start for his 11th victory and hurled St. Louis past Philadelphia, although he surrendered eight hits and seven walks. The Cards have won four straight, their longest streak of the year. Steve Blass fired a three-hij-ter and Roberto Clemente belt-; ed three hits, including a two Alston.

"It's nice to be back first place." It was Atlanta's sixth defeat in-eight games, all coming in doubleheaders last Friday, Sunday and Tuesday night. Cleon Jones belted a game-tying two-run double and scored the winning run on Ed Krane-pool's two-out bloop single as the amazing Mets rallied for three runs in the ninth to trip the Cubs and Ferguson Jenkins. Until the fateful last inning, Jenkins had allowed only one hit, Kranepool's fifth-inning ho on singles by Davis and Len Gabrielson. The Braves went ahead 3-2; in the ninth on Rico Carty's pinch double, but Tom Haller, who homered in the first game, started another rally with a lead-off double in the Dodgers' half. A single by Bill Sudakis knotted the score again and, after a single by Willie Crawford, the Braves elected to walk Wills intentionally and pitch to Mota.

He promptly singled, scoring Sudakis with the winning run. Davis, who was hit on the wrist by a pitch Sunday and had trouble squeezing the bat, collected three singles and a triple; Haller, who has two swollen ankles after being hit by foul balls, had a single, double and home run, and Wes Parker, still bothered by a persistent hamstring pull, singled in a first-game run. mer, brnie Banks and Jim Hickman connected for Chicago. From Associated Press The Los Angeles Dodgers ache all over but the Atlanta Braves are the ones feeling the pain. Led by super-cripple Manny Mota, who banged out eight hits, one short of the major league record for most hits in a doubleheader, the Dodgers swept Atlanta 5-3 and 4-3 Tuesday night and took over first place in the National League West from the Braves by one-half After rapping seven singles and a doubel in 10 at-bats, driving in three runs, scoring twice and stealing a base, Mota limped into the clubhouse, where his left elbow and left knee were packed in ice.

Mota broke the elbow playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic and injured the knee sliding a few days ago. The elbow probably will require postseason surgery, but the injuries didn't stop the 5-foot-ll, 168-pound outfielder from raising his average since coming to the Dodgers from Montreal to .412 and his over-aU mark to .366. Elsewhere, Jhe New York Mets rallied to nip Chicago 4-3 and trimmed the Cubs' lead the East to four games, Cincinnati whiped San Diego 8-2, San Francisco turned back Houston 7-4, St. Louis downed Philadelphia 6-3 and Pittsburgh walloped Montreal 8-2. Mota's big night began with an infield hit in the first inning of the opener, after Hank Aaron and grounded out in the sixth, one of 14 straight batters retired by Ron Reed.

But -Maury Wills broke the spell in the eighth with a two-out triple and Mota singled him in, cutting Atlanta's lead to 2-1.

A LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) Peter Thomson, the only living man to win the British Open five times, conceded today that the American challenge for the 1969 title is so deep and so tough that any one of a dozen could win it. But the 39-year-old Australian refused to admit that he was what the bookies said, a 20-1 outsider. "If I get the breaks and the inspiration, I'll manager," he said. "But I fancy Bill Casper and Gary.

Player. They have the middle irons this course requires right now." Thomson was asked why Casper and Player? "They have the game and it has been tested on the money- world Thomson never mastered and he admits it. When he was at his peak, the U.S. tour was not all that rich and his only crack at it left him somewhat cool. But, the Australian said, that same tour over the years has produced so many proficient golfers that the 13-strong Ameri-ea ehaiienge this JChampiQO; ship starting today, hardly can be ignored.
