New York Mets' outfielder Billy Cowan (left), landed on his back, after a windblown pop fly, by Chicago Cubs' Jim Stewart, tipped off Cowan's glove and fell to the ground, for a two-base hit, in the 4th inning, at New York's Shea Stadium, yesterday.

To Keep Lead By THE CANADIAN PRESS The fans came to the ball park Wednesday night expect- ing a battle between Sandy Kou- fax and Sammy Ellis, the Na- tional League's two leading pit- chers. It didn't turn out that way. Koufax was gone in the fifth inning, Ellis followed him in the sixth and a total of seven hurlers were hammered for 25 hits and 13 runs. But the cus- tomers didn't complain. Cincinnati shortstop Leo Car- denas saw to that. His two-out homer in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Reds a 7-6 victory over Los Angeles Dodgers and a margin of two percentage points over the los- ers at the top of the. league standings, In other NL action Tom Hal- ler homered with two on in the 13th against Bob Gibson, lifting San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 decision that ended St. Louis) Cardinals winning string at seven games; Chris Short's three-hit pitching and Clay Dal- rymple's eighth - inning homer enabled Philadelphia Phillies to nip Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0; Rico Carty's hitting led Milwaukee Braves to a 5-2 victory over Houston Astros and Larry Jack- son ran his lifetime record to the last-| cago Cubs whipped place Mets 8-3.

John and Stu Miller, who are not related, collaborated on a five-hitter against the Athletics. The Orioles scored their runs off John O'Donoghue in the sixth on a double by Dick Brown and singles by John Mil- ord book.

Ed Spiezio scored both Jacksonville runs, coming home on a sacrifice fly in the second inning and on George Kernek's double in the seventh. A wind - blown inside - the- park homer by Dave Johnson highlighted a four-run rally in the third inning that backed Dave Watt's seven-hit pitching for another four runs in the sixth and tagged reliever Tom Metcalf for two more in the ninth, Difference With Casey Denied By Warren Spahn NEW YORK (AP)--The only rift between Casey Stengel and myself is the one being manu- factured by outsiders," said Warren Spahn.
