It was only the second defeat for the Twins in their last 11 games.

The loss kept the Twins' magic number for wrapping up the pennant at three. Any combination of Twins' victories and Baltimore defeats totaling three will do it. The Orioles play here Tuesday and Wednesday. Hunter, now 7-6, yielded a pair of home runs to Don Mincher his 20th and 21st of the season but Minnesota managed only two other singles off him. Wyatt relieved Hunter after Frank Quilici singled leading off the eighth.

DEEP BACKS PRAISED DURHAM deep backs gave us our finest performance we've had here in my recent memory," Duke football Coach Bill Murray said at his weekly press luncheon Monday.

Murray was referring to the play of the Blue Devils' defensive secondary in the season opener against Virginia which resulted in a 21-7 Duke victory. Captain John Gutekunst, junior Jim Barrett and sophomore Andy Beath were three deep backs singled out by Murray for special commendation. Beath intercepted two passes in his varsity debut and Barrett had a hand in 13 tackles. "The heat caused more trouble than usual," said Murray, "but we were pleased with what happened at the beginning."

MILWAUKEE (AP) The Philadelphia Phillies capitalized on Wade Blasingame's wildness for four runs in the first inning and beat the Milwaukee Braves 4-1 before the smallest crowd in the city's 13-season National League history. Only 812 watched the Braves, a strong pennant-contender a few days ago, lose for the seventh time in their last nine games.

The club is slated to move to Atlanta next year. Jack Culp went all the way for the Phils, scattering 10 hits. He gave up Henry Aaron's 32nd homer in the sixth and had to survive a ninth-inning threat for the victory. Pat Corrales" two-run single was the key hit for Philadelphia in the first. The game was held up twice by rain for a total of one hour, 45 minutes.

and two Affectionately, greatest fillies America's of 1965, staged their heralded duel Monday and Tosmah won by the narrowest of margins in the one mile of the $28,800 Maskette Handicap at Aqueduct. The official chart called the margin a nose, but it was even closer than that as the 4-year- old daughter of Tim Tarn-Cos mah from Tony Imbesi's Briardale Farms got the decision in the photo finish. Straight Deal, a stablemate of Affectionately carrying the silks of Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs, trailed another three lengths for third money in the field of nine fillies and mares.

Affectionately, winner of six stakes but away from the races since failing against males in the Suburban Handicap July 5, took the lead as expected. But Tosmah, 1963 2-year-old filly champion and best of the 3 year-old misses last year, never was more than one length back as the 5-year-old daughter of Tosmah's victory was the third over Affectionately, but in the two triumphs last year she tiad weight advantage over the Jacobs' mare.

(AP) Nebraska Coach Bob Devaney, after study of Saturday's football game films, said Monday that "on the whole" against Texas Christian "we did a good job for an opening game." "The game proved one thing," he told the Monday quarterback luncheon, "that on the 18th of September we were better than TCU." On the other hand, he said, TCU's 78-yard touchdown drive completed in the second period "no fluke," and TCU played "a pretty darn good ball game."

Hounding the turn, Tosmah pulled even with her rival, and they headed into the final quarter mile almost even. Tosmah, making only her second start since being sidelined by an injury last January, got in front one-eighth of a mile from the finish line, but Walter Blum once again pushed Affectionately into a narrow lead. Just before they hit the wire, Sammy Boulmetis lifted Tos- mah's head up and Affectionately's head went down. And that proved to be the margin of victory.

The time for the mile was 1:35 1-5. In earning $18,720, Tosmah paid $3.60, $2.60 and $2.40 as the choice of the crowd of 30,063.

He and Allen Lonas, who started on defense Saturday, are expected to f.hare the quarterbaeking duties when the Tigers take the field this Saturday afternoon at Fork Union.
