A couple of hours ear- lier Gibson reached the same level, 6-0, in St. Louis Cardinals' 43 triumph over New York Mets. The rise of the 25-year-old t-hander has been as mete- as that of the Astros, who are in third place, two games behind first-place Los Angeles. While continuing his unbeaten streak, the former Syracuse University baseball and bas- ketball star has compiled a 1.62 earned run average, completed three of four starts and has igiven up less than one walk a game. | In other National League games, San Francisco Giants blanked Chicago Cubs 3-0, Cin cinnati Reds bombed Philadel- phia Phillies 9-1 and Pittsburgh Pirates nipped Milwaukee Braves 4-3. GAVE ONLY FOUR HITS Giusti allowed the Dodgers only four hits while walking one and striking out six. Other than in the second inning when Los Angeles scored its lone run, the Prior to this season Giusti! had managed a poor 2-3 record in 100 innings of hurling for Houston in 1962 and 1964. Dodgers had just two baserun-| ners. The Astro ace, received all of Claude Osteen in the second in- ning. The Mets got to Gibson for 10 hits, but the Cardinals beat them on an eight-inning run when Dick Groat tripled and scored on Tim McCarver's ground out. Ron Herbel blanked the Cubs on four hits until the ninth when Billy Williams and Ron Santo singled with two out. Willie Mays rapped three San Fran- cisco hits and drove in the first run in the third. Pete Rose collected four hits, three of them key singles, for Cincinnati. Rose scored the first Reds' run in the fourth in- ning, singled across the lead run in the fifth and triggered a six-run uprising in the eighth. Del Crandall's two-run single in the sixth inning plus Manny Mota's bases-loaded sacrifice the support he needed from Joe Gaines' two - run homer off! fly in the eighth lifted the Pi- rates past the Braves. 25-PLAYER DEADLINE Yogi Back Coaching As Mets Trim Roster By TED MEIER Associated Press Sports Writer Everything seems to happen to New York Mets. First they had to de-activate Yoggi Berra, their old war horse; ot reach the 25-player limit. Then they dropped below it when they lost Ron Hunt, their all-star second baseman, probably for the season, and had to buy Chuck Hiller from) San Francisco Giants to fill the) gap. The Mets put Hunt on the dis- abled list, cutting the roster, be-) low the 25-player limit which is mandatory for all clubs in the 'right knee while running in the the International League and made Berra a coach only by taking him off the active list. The mets thus supplied the only excitement of the night-be- fore the cutdown midnight dead- line. Most of the other clubs op- tioned rookies, although Pitts- burgh Pirates got down by put- ting veteran relief pitcher Roy Face on the disabled list.

Connolly, who had 73 strike- outs in 81 innings with Boston Red Sox of the American League last season, was re- placed in the second inning last week after he walked in the ifirst two runs. Elsewhere, Jacksonville Suns shut out Syracuse Chiefs 2-0, Atlanta Crackers walloped Rochester Red Wings 12-4, and a game between Toledo Mud Hens and Buffalo Bisons was postponed because of cold weather. Connolly also ignited the Leafs' first two - run inning, beating out an infield hit with two out and scored on Jim Gos- ger's triple. Gosger scored on Stan Johnson's double, and the Leafs bunched three more hits for two more runs in the sixth inning to wrap it up. The Suns got the winning run in the first inning on George Kernek's tripie and Ed Spiezio's single, and added an insurance run in the ninth inning on two walks, an infield hit and a wild pitch.
