21 Giants' Ace Remains One Behind Sandy In Victories (By The Associated Press) Sandy Koufax's perfect game and fourth no-hitter kept the Los Angeles Dodgers in a tie for second place and kept Koufax one step ahead of San Francisco's Juan Marichal in the National League. Marichal won No. 21 in a day game at San Francisco, keeping the Giants in first place as he checked Houston on four hits in a 4-0 victory. face him as the Dodgers bested the Chicago Cubs and the 1-hit pitching of southpaw Bob Hendley, 1-0, before a crowd of 29,139 last night. Koufax struck out the last six batters in a row and 14 in all.

But though the baseball world hailed Koufax and his historic victory the first time in the majors that a pitcher achieved a fourth no-hit game Koufax himself shrugged it off as not quite his best game. His opponents found it hard to agree. EXPECTED PITCH Said the Cubs' third baseman, Ron Santo: "I've never seen Sandy throw as hard as he did when he struck me out in the eighth. He threw one fast ball right by me and I was waiting for it. He seemed to get a burst of energy in the late innings." Koufax has always felt that his third no-hitter, the one he pitched last season at Philadelphia, was the best game of his career.

"I had the best fast ball in the last three innings that I've had all year and also the best control," said the 29-year-old lefthander after last night's game at Dodger Stadium, "but the no-hitter at Philadelphia was equally big." "He was just great it was beautiful." said Chicago veteran Ernie Banks. "He was getting the curve over real good the first five innings, then he got tremendous momentum. I thought he might weaken some Idler on, mil ne JUSl Kepi inrow- i ing the ball right on through. And he Was throwing Strikes." Dodgers owner Walter O'Mal ley had a bottle of champagne delivered to Koufax in the club- house and IS expected to reward Sandy with a bonus for becom- ing the first major leaguer ever to hurl four no-hltters and Only the eighth since 1900 to notch a nerferr Pamp When Koufax pitched his Other nic i0f aii his no-hitters." said: Dodger manager Walter Alston GREAT COMPETITOR Harold (Lefty) Phillips, the Dodger pitching coach, called Koufax a better competitor than anv pitcher in baseball. "tci nitli.r.

And he pitches Just as hard against the bottom clubs as he does the pennant contenders."

him 11 out of 15 and that may stop the Pirates from winning the N. L. pennant. The golf baU which throws up smoke signals when it lands will never be popular. The average golfer always reserves the right to kick a ball out of the rough.

Here are the class distinctions in Puerto Rico: first come the robber barons, the cab drivers; then the millionaires; and the third class is the poor. The Yankees' Johnny Keane seems to be cut from the same cloth as the late Miller Huggins, who managed the club in the '20s. A nice, quiet guy but hardly a front man for a ball club. I get a kick out of hear ley it's a shame to lose a game the way he did," said Koufax. Only two other pitchers since 1900 had hurled as many as three no-hitters: Denton (Cy) Young and Bob Feller.

Koufax leads the majors in victories with 22 and in strikeouts with 332 in 290 innings. Koufax is scheduled to make his next start in Chicago next Tuesday afternoon and it's likely he'll face Hendley in a rematch. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have snapped a 2-game losing streak and remain a half-game behind San Francisco in the National League race.

Tony Cloninger, the Milwaukee Braves' rainmaking righthander, is on his way. Cloninger, a 20-game winner who has triumphed in 10 of his last 11 starts, is a wet weather pitcher. He has to be because of his penchant for drawing raindrops.

"The Rainmaker that's me," said the burly hurler last night after rain had wahsed out a scoreless game between the Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies in the top of the second inning. The game was tentatively rescheduled for September 20. It was the third straight time that rain has followed Cloninger to the mound and the fourth time in his last five starts. "Cloninger will be our pitcher In New York tomorrow," said Braves' manager Bobby Bra-gan. "There's a water shortage there so we'll pitch our rainmaker." (IREAT FOR FARM Cloninger doesn't alwaya mind the rain, lie's a farmer in the off-season in Iron Station.

N. C. "It's been raining down there too," Cloninger said. "It's been a good season, except for one little dry spell." But rain is no blessing for righthanders, especially on nights when they have good breaking stuff. "And I had good stuff tonight," said Cloninger.

Not only does rain mean wasted effort, it leads to delays that stiffen the arm. On August 31, for example, Cloninger warmed up for a earn that was delayed 24 minutes as the rain fell. He then warmed up again, pitched four Innings, then waited 2 hours and A minutes as the downpour resumed Again, he warmed up and took the mound but was forced to retire with a stiff shoulder In the sixth Inning. Last Saturday, Cloninger wai the starting pitcher In a came that was scheduled to start at 1:15 P. M.

but for most of the afternoon it rained. The came finally ended at 1:06 P. M. after two long delay. Cloninger got the win, his 2nth, but again needed relief help, Storm' weather has bung over the Braves' heads for the past 2 weeks, giving gray east to what Is expected to be the tram's last month tn Milwaukee.

Cincinnati Tony Perez may not have a high batting average but he sure comes through in the clutch, his manager said last night after the Cincinnati first baseman powered the Reds to a 3-2 victory over New York with a ninth-inning home run. "Perez has done jobs just like this before," said Dick Sis- ler. "He is not hitting too well but he gets the key hits." The home run with two out in the ninth broke a 2-2 tie and kept the Reds near the top in the National League pennant race. Both Cincinnati and Los Angeles are a half-game bvhind the front-running San Francisco Giants as all three teams won yesterday. Perez, who Is batting .264, said the decisive blow came on a fast ball by the Mets' Gordon Richardson.

It was Perez's 12th homer of the season. The Reds scored their other two runs on Deron Johnson's 28th home run in the fourth, but the Mets tied the game in the eighth on three singles. "I like to have Perez playing first base because he bats right-handed and Gordy Coleman doesn't do too well against some of the better leftbanded pitchers," said Sisler. "I wasn't really counting on Perez at the start of the season, but by his hitting and general all-around play he quickly forced me into platooning the first base position." Sister also had praise for his pitching ace Sammy Ellis, who picked up his 19th victory against eight defeats by pitching to four Mcti In the ninth inning. TWINS AND GIANTS PICKED BY BRAIN Philadelphia ifi The Franklin Institute's computer figures the Minnesota Twins a sure bet to win the American League pennant and lists the San Francisco Giants a slight favorite in the National League.

"Only a disaster like the Phil adelphia Phillies encountered last year can keep the Twins from winning." said Al Pola-nezeky, Institute statistician. The Phillies blew 64 game lead with 12 games tn play. The computer bases Its day-to-day predictions on past performances only. Each day the previous day'a results are programmed Into the brain. Then.

It has each team "play" out their schedule TOO times. Yesterday, the computer had Minnesota In front every time, finishing the season with flies, Chicago was second with 92 70, Cleveland third 88 74, and Detroit fourth 87-73. The Giants, accord in a to the computer, would complete the season 91-71, one game ahead of Los Angeles, 90-72, with Cincinnati and Milwaukee In tie at 19-TJ, and Pittsburgh fifth at wi.dSu his I his first after three straight losses since August 14. EACH WON 25 The last time the two Koufax the lefthander and Marichal the righthander hooked up in a duel for most victories in the league was in 19G3 when they each finished with 25 vic tories. Marichal's triumph kept the Giants one-half game ahead of the Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds, who remained in a tie for second place with a 3-2 victory over the New York Mets.

Fourth-place Milwaukee fell 2 games back after being rained out of a game against Philadelphia. The Giants, winning their sixth straight, jumped into a 2-run lead in the second inning on a walk to Willie Mc-Covey, a triple by Gabriel, son, and Tom Ilaller's sacrifice fly. Haller hit a homer in the fifth and the Giants closed out the scoring In the same inning when Dick Schoficld doubled and scored on Jesus Aloui Jingle to deep short.
