The Dodgers had a chance to clinch the pennant Sunday, bu Bob Veale and Roy Face con trived to pitch a three-hitter against them and they lost to Pittsburgh 4-0. It was the firsl time the Dodgers had been shul out in 80 games. The second-place St.

"I guess we were due to play one like that," said Dodger Manager Walter Alston.

"I don't think we can count on Cards' losing Tuesday. They've lost five in a row now. That's a pretty good ball club to beat five straight," The telephone rang while Alston was talking with newsmen in his dressing room. "Yeah," Alston said to the party at the other end, "I guess we've to wait one thanks Danny good luck to you, The call was from Pittsburgh Manager Danny Murtaugh. George Knudson Tabs Playoff PORTLAND, Ore.

(AP)--Slender George Knudson of Toronto won out in a battle of two young professionals for the $30,000 Portland Open Golf Tournament championship Sunday in an extra- hole playoff. The 26-year-old Knudson, ning his first tournament since 1961, sank a 45-foot chip shot on the first playoff hole for an eagle'. At that his shot barely won the prize. The 29-year-old Mason Rudolph, chipping from almost the same spot as Knudson, hit the back of the cup with his shot. It bounced a few feet beyond and he had to settle for second prize of $3,000 while Knudson carried away $4,300.

It was another in a series of dis appointments for the steady Rudolph. Seldom out of the money, lie has failed to win a tournament since he did it in his freshman professional year of 1959. Third prize went to Dave Hill, Evergreen, with rounds of; 70-66-69-68-273, which was worth; $2,000. Three Dodgers DropMagic Number to Just One deadlocked for fourth and shared $1,533 each.

G.B New York 102 55 .650 -Chicago Strong pitching has been the Los Angeles Dodgers' big weapon all eason. They saw more of the same Sun day--but they'd just as soon for get it. It was the other fellow's and it was painful, keeping thi Dodgers from putting the officia clincher on the National Leagui pennant. Pittsburgh's Bob Veale and El roy Face held the Dodgers away from the elusive flag with a two- man three-hit effort in the Pirates 4-0 victory. The Dodgers took i right down to the final swings loading the bases with one ou in the bottom of the ninth inning with hot-hitting Tommy Davis ant slugger Frank Howard coming up But Face got both on popups-- and after a string of five triumphs that had carried them to the threshold of the throne room the Dodgers' magic touch had failed.

Cincinnati had paved the way for the Dodgers by dealing St Louis' slumping Cardinals their fifth straight loss, 5-2, and reducing the magic number to one. It's still one--meaning a Dodger victory or another Card loss before the flag flies at Chavez Ravine Actually, the pennant could go to the Dodgers before they swing another bat. The Cards, 514 games behind with five to go, next play at Chicago on Tuesday afternoon and the Dodgers don't resume action until Tuesday night, when they open a three-game set al aome against New York's last- place Mets. While the Dodgers and Cards were bowing, the San Francisco Giants were pounding the Mets. Wiillie McCovey paced the 13-4 romp with three consecutive homers, taking over the NL lead at 43, and batting across five runs.

Also in the NL-- the Chicago Cubs pushed across six runs in the first three innings and went on to a 7-3 decision over Milwaukee; and Joe Morgan's run- producing single delivered the winner as Houston scored twice the last of the ninth and edged Philadelphia 2-1. The New York Yankees, with American League title stashed away, sharpened up their young eft-handed ace, Al Downing, for a World Series start in a 4-3 squeaker over Kansas City. Joe Pepitone struck the big blow for he Yanks, a two-run homer in he sixth inning, after they had ouched loser Dave Wickersham or two unearned runs in the fifth. Downing, now 13-4 since being iromoted from the minors in June, spaced nine hits, did not walk a man and struck out six in his complete game. Minnesota's mighty Twins belted three more home runs and Canilo Pascual became a 20-game winner for the second year in a row in a 6-1 victory over the Boson Red Sox.

Harmon Klllebrew's 5th homer, Jimmie Hall's 33rd and George Banks' third pushed Minnesota's season total to 224-second highest in big league history. The Yanks' 240 in 1961 is the record.

The victory was the 14th of the season for Roberts--his highest winning total since 1959--and the 258th of a major league career which began in 1948. The record of the former Philadelphia Phillies' star dipped to a dismal 1-10 in 1961, and many! observers said he was through. But Roberts bounced back last season with the Orioles, posting a 10-9 record with a 2.78 earned run average.

What of the future? "I'd like to win 300 games, sure," Roberts said. "But more than anything else, I'd like to make a living by pitching. When a pitcher reaches a certain age, and is able to get the batters out without great speed, he should go on as long as he's physically able. "I'd rather play baseball than do something else."
