Centerfielder Bob Vega was the lone standout for the Hawks as he collected two singles and a second-inning home Smith Gets Cincinnati Bill Rigney, No. 18, Giants' manager, gestures wildly with his right arm as he berates Umpire Vinnie Smith, who called Danny O'Connell, No. 2, out on a close play at first base in 10th inning of opener with Redlegs yesterday. Baseball Roundup 1 imtdNt JA Ei Watsonville Eliminates i Mid-County Dy Len Klempnauer Watsonville All-Stars eliminated Mid-County from further Pony League tournament play yesterday, 1-0, and thereby gave the Santa Cruz All-Stars an automatic trip to Ukiah for the district tourney which starts Friday.

Santa Cruz and Watsonville meet today at 4 p.m. to decide the area victor at the Mid-County stadium in Capitola. Santa Cruz (2-0) can capture the tour: ney title if they win. A loss however, would throw the double-elimination event into a game Tuesday. Watsonville will host the regional tournament in two weeks so they automatically receive a berth in it.

Whether Santa Cruz wins or loses this area tourney to Watsonville, it gets a chance in the Ukiah tourney. i Righthander Joe Mantoya hurled tremendous one-hit ball for Watsonville yesterday. The only hit off him was a line drive single to leftfield by Norbert Ross ia the fifth inning. Mantoya struck out 15 and walked five. Robert Turnage started for Mid-County and was charged with the loss; He worked 2'3 innings and-was relieved by Mark Edwards with one run in and the bases loaded, Edwards stopped the rally by whiffing the next two batters.

A pinch hitter, Jerry Jones, batted for Edwards in the fifth and Mike Hurly finished up the last two innings for Mid-County. Watsonville scored its run in the third. Robert Wilcox and Joe Gerber walked to start off the inning. Dan Molina dribbled a slow roller midway between the pitcher's mound and the foul line and Turnage booted it as Molina took first on the iniscue to load the sacks. John A.

Chapin grounded to shortstop Leonard Sletten who threw quickly to home to put the force on Wilcox for one out. Man-tova then worked Turnage to a 3-2 pitch and drew a walk to score Gerter for the only run of the game. Turnage was lifted for Edwards who retired the side. MidCounty threatened in the first when Mike Johnson, the first man up in the game, walked and was followed by a walk to Sletten. But Mantoya bore down to retire the next three men on strikeouts.

In the sixth, Johnson and Sletten again walked with no outs. Mike Murphy forced Sletten at second while Johnson moved to third. On an attempted squeeze play, cleanup hitter Bob McDowell missed a try to bunt and John- Sales 0 Service 0 Installation Exclusive Magnavox Dealer -Record Department Hi Fi Listening Room (jS) Minor's Homer Holds First For Salinas By The Associated Press The tightly knotted California league still echoes today to the solid crack of bats hitting home runs. Harry Minor's four-bagger for Salinas proved the winning blow of a 3-2 game with Modesto yesterday as the Packers scored their seventh straight triumph and took an undisputed hold on first place. Visalia, tied with Stockton for second, one game off the pace, lost a 10-5 decision to Bakers-field despite homers by Carlos Castillo and Joe Gaines.

Manager Dick Wilson hit two runs and Johnny Callison one for the Bears. Hank Overin pitched Stockton to a 5-4 victory over San Jose and helped his cause with a. homer in the fourth inning. Dick Whitman hit a round-tripper for the Josox. Fresno pitcher Del Coursey hurled a 14-5 victory at Reno and hit four for five, including a two-run homer and a double.

He batted in five runs, struck out eight batters, scattered seven hits and walked six.

Play Friday Dsfeaf Palo Alto earn, 5-4 By Mel Bowen North Unleashing one of their biggest hitting assaults of the season, the Santa Cruz Merchants softball team made its first state tournament game a successful one Saturday night. The Merchants pounded out 10 hits to defeat Freeman Pavers of Palo Alto, 5-4. The win will send the Merchants back Friday night at 10 o'clock to play the winner of a Serio Painters (San Jose) vs. 21st Engineering Company (San Francisco) game slated yesterday.

Results of the game were unavailable this morning. Dick and Bob Fassio paced the Sanra Cruz attack with six hits between them. Dick had a perfect three for three and Bob had three for four and two runs batted in. Dick hit a triple in the first inning and scored on his brother's double. This put! the Merchants ahead 10.

Palo Alto tied the score in the second on a hit batsman, single by Vern Grafton, the losing pitcher, and a sacrifice fly. In the third, Freeman's went ahead on a walk, single and a two-run 'double by Harry Pfyl. Trailing 3-1 at the start of the fourth, Wayne Richards, doubled, Fred Moro singled and Shay Gil-more singled. Moro scored on an error to tie the count at 3-3. Santa Cruz broke the tie in the fifth on singles by Butch Walters and Bob Fassio.

After all this, the Merchants led 5-3. In the seventh, two errors, the first of the tournament by Santa Cruz, put the tieing runs on with nobody out. A sacrifice and a foul sacrifice fly down the right field line made the score 5-4, but Richards got the last man to preserve the lead and the victory.

Pat Moore banged out three singles and a double to pace the winners at the plate. Winning pitcher Dennis Cody homered in the first with one mate aboard and Jerry Baptista homered in third with two on. Mike Dominguez and Mike Fitzsimons both collected two hits, one of Fitzimons' hits went for two bases.

After Tommy Byrne blew a 4-1 lead in the second game, it was' Slaughter's hit that finally hung a 10th defeat on relief man Bob Lemon. Although Mickey Manle had five hits in the doubleheader, sending his average to .368, he still was far behind Boston's Ted Williams who moved up to .389 with three singles in four trips against Dick Donovan of Chicago.

Donovan went all the way for the fourth straight time to win his 12th despite 14 Boston hits Loes' shutout was his fifth vic tory over Kansas City among his 11 wins. He struck out eight and didn walk a man. Roy Sievers failed in his at tempt to break the American League record that he tied Sat urday by hitting homers in six consecutive games. However, Pete Ramos, Milt Boiling, Rocky Bridges and Eddie Yost of the Senators and Bill Tuttle, Ray Boone and Al Kaline of the Tigers homered. In the National, the Cards' eight-game winning streak was snapped by Haddix when Larry Jackson walked in the winning run in the 12th.

McDaniel helped his own cause with a freak double that dropped near home plate and led to the first Card run when Al Dark tripled. The bonus pitcher nursed a 2-1 lead until the eighth when two singles and Granny Hamner's two-base error let St. Louis pick up two more off Curt Simmons who had just replaced Warren Hacker. Warren Spahn, who seldom works against Brooklyn, faced the Dodgers for the first time since June 5, 1956 to put down a late rally. ik'Ji ') 'Elderly7 Slaughter Showing Young Yanks How To Pay Ball By Jack Hand Enos Slaughter, 41, the hustling "Country Boy" who is the oldest active player in the American league, is showing the younger New York Yankees how the game is flayed.

Five hits in Sunday's double, victory over Cleveland boosted Slaughter's lifetime total to 2301 in a career dating back to 1938 when he broke into the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals. Slaughter's single tied the score and his three-run homer run. Leading 1-0 going into the fourth frame the Santa Cruz nine tallied three times before winning pitcher Al Maffei struck out Rich Deitz and Gino Vaughan to retire the side. The big inning started as catcher Butch Walters was safe at first on an error.

Consecutive bingles by starting pitcher Doug Boehner and Vega loaded the bags. Al Young slashed a two run single to center and was out at second trying to stretch the blow into a double. Vega held up at third and two pitches later scored on a wild pitch for the Hawks fourth run of the game. Boehner had been pitchinc one- hit ball until he ran into some shaky backing in the fifth. The first two hitters to face the tall right hander singled.

Vince Cara-magno followed suit with another bingle to drive in the visitors first run. Maffei sent a sacrifice fly to right to push another run across. Back to back errors by the shortstop and second baseman and a two bagger by Len Costa produced three more runs. The nightmare, but not until right fielder Ray Zari parked a homer over the center field wall for the seventh and final run of the inning. The Ellis Brooks nine scored twice more in the sixth frame on a home run by Caramagno and a double by Maffei, who eventually scored on a sacrifice fly.

In the seventh inning the San Francisco didn't let up. They slugged three more tallies across on a four-bagger by Frank Zari and three singles. The Seahawks scored a run in the bottom of the eighth on a single by Vega and an apparent double by Mel Bowen. Bowen was ruled out for not touching first base. In the last inning the winners scored the final run of the long day on two singles by Cess Calhoun and Dick Kalar.

Kalar had three for five at the plate for the day.

South American Roberto de Vicenzo is a realist He holds a four-stroke lead over the field entering today's final round of the $25,000 All American Golf tournament but thinks he can lose. The husky pro, who now regis ters out of Mexico City, seems to be haunted by his blowup in the recent National Open when he was third entering the final round then fired a 33 and soared to 43 for a 76, ending up with the also-rans. Roberto, who can become the first foreign winner at Tam O'Shanter since South African Bobby Locke's victories in 1947 and 1948, shot a close-to-the-vest 70 in yesterday's rain-delayed 3rd round for a 54-hole tally of 203. This represented 13 strokes under par. In second place, coming up with a rush, was 45-year-old Sam Snead who hooked on a sizzling 68 for 207.

Paul Harney carried most of the hopes of the younger set with 72 for 208. Harney, 28, from Worchester, is a solid choice among the old-timers to make a mark for himself in the "World" meet later this week. Two other comparative youngsters, Bill Casper, 26, and Dow Finsterwald, 27, were in at 210 entering the final round. Grouped with them was veteran Jimmy De-maret. Clifford Ann Creed.

Opelousas, shot an 8-over-par 84 to gain an eight-stroke lead in the women's amateur division over Lois Drafke, Chicago, with a 54-hole total of 241. Jackie Pung captured outright possession of the pro lead with a 79 for a 226 tally. Fay Crocker and Petty Berg were second with 227. Crooner Pon Cherry carded a 73 to share the 54-hole lead in the men's amateur bracket with 41-year-old Howard Everitt, North-field, N.J. Each had 220.

After Jerry Lumpe's' scratch pinch single had tied the score in the ninth inning of the second game, Enos came through with a looping single to center, that gave the Yanks their eighth straight 6-5. The sweep stretched the Yankee lead to 6'2 games over Chicago which battered Boston pitching for 19 hits and an 11-6 decision in a single Cleveland dropped into a fifth-place tie with Baltimore 19 games off the pace. The Orioles handed Kansas City its seventh straight defeat 5-0 on Billy Loes' five-hitter and Washington thumped Detroit 8-4 as the two clubs set a Griffith Stadium record with seven home runs. While Slaughter was strutting his stuff at Yankee Stadium, his old St.

Louis mates saw their National League lead reduced to a half game. After bowing to the brilliant relief pitching of the Phillies' Harvey Haddix in the 12-inning opener 5-4, the Cards won the second game 4-1 on Lindy McDaniel's steady nine-hitter. Milwaukee moved within a half game of St. Louis by holding off a late Brooklyn spurt for a 9-7 victory with the help of homers by Eddie Mathews, Del Rice, Johnny Logan and Henry Aaron. Cincinnati split a pair with New York, losing the first in 14 innings 7-6 when Willie Mays hit two homers and a triple.

The Red-legs pulled out the second game 3-2 on a six-hitter by rookie Vicente Amor. Chicago climbed out of the cellar by beating Pittsburgh twice 6-0 behind Moe Dra-bowsky and 3-2 on Jack Littrell's pinch double in the 11th, spoiling Danny Murtaugh's debut as Pirate manager.
