SCUTTLED PHILLIES--San- dy Koufax, left, and Frank 'Howard of the Los Angeles "Dodgers are all smilés Thurs- % Sandy Koufax Hurls His 3rd No-Hitter, Phillies Are Victims By MIKE RATHET Associated Press Sports Writer. Sandy Koufax has finished practising. He finished about halfway through the third no-hitter of his major league career, allowing only one walk in a 3-0 victory over Philadelphia Thurs- day night and joining Bob Feller as the only triple no-hit hurlers in modern baseball. Minutes later, in Los Angeles Dodgers' dressing room, the un- shaven Koufax revealed that in the first few innings he was just trying to adjust his: motion. "I have been studying pic- tures in magazines of my form and suddenly realized that I had been stepping too far to the left with the right foot across. my " Koufax explained. "So in the first few innings I concentrated on making an ad- justment, stepping more to the right. It felt fine. I had the old pitching rhythm back." DIDN'T MISS IT No one knew it was missing. Koufax had not been the sensa- tional pitcher he was last year when he won most valuable player honors and the Cy Young Award as the best pitcher in the majors, But everyone presumed he was still shaking off an early season injury. Against the Phillies, it was day nigh dressing room afier their game with Philadelphia. Koufax struck out twelve men as he pitched a no-hitter and Howard put difficult to tell when Koufax corrected his mistake. Only four balls were hit to the outfield all night and the closest thing to a hit was Richie Allen's slow grounder in the seventh inning-- scooped up by third baseman Jim Gilliam who quickly fired to first for the out. Allen also was the Phillies' lone baserunner but was thrown out attempting to steal after walking on a 3-2 pitch in the} fourth inning. | Feller, the only other pitcher to hurl three no-hitters in post-| 19-0 action, wasn't at all sur-| prised that Koufax had matched him, COULD GET MORE "Why, the way this guy's go-| ing,"' said Feller, "'he may get) three more of them before he's through." In other National League ac- tion, Pittsburgh Pirates whipped fan Francisco Giants 4-2, Chi- jeago Cubs edged St. Louis Car- \dinals 2-1, Cincinnati Reds) downed Milwaukee Braves 6-3 and Houston Colts beat York Mets 7-3. Koufax, bringing his record to 6-4 with the 99th victory of his career, struck out 12 Phillies, and thus tied another record, It was the 54th time in his career he had struck out 10 or more batters, equalling the mark pre- New| the icing on the cake by hit- ting a home-run: in the sev- enth inning with two men on base to win the game 3 to 0. --(AP Wirephoto) viously shared by Feller and Rube Waddell. Koufax got the only runs he needed when Frank Howard hit his 14th homer in the seventh inning off Chris Short following singles by Gilliam and Tommy Cavis. CHECKS GIANTS the Giants on five hits while the Pirates struck for four runs in the fourth and put it away. The Cubs and Cardinals played the season's fastest game in the NL, Ron Santo's two-run homer in the fourth pro- viding Chicago's runs while Charley James homoered for St. Louis. Frank Robinson's second home run of the game, a three- run shot in the ninth, gave the Reds their victory. he Braves pulled off a triple play in the second inning when Leo Car- denas lined to Mike de la Hoz | Rookie Steve Blass checked! Has Five By MURRAY CHASS Associated Press Sports Writer Bobby Richardson is_ hitting more and striking out less. Richardson, who has fanned only twice in 184 times at bat this season, got five hits for the second time this season as New York Yankees outlasted Minne- sota Twins 9-7 Thursday. . The perfect performance boosted the second baseman's batting average to .310. Only three games ago Richardson was hitting .282. Only three other players in the majors have had five hits in a game this season. Richard-) son was the first to do it, bang- irg out five singles in the first game of a doubleheader against Cleveland May 10. His hits Thursday consisted of four singles and a double. He also scored twice and drove in a run, Richardson's strike out rate, or.near lack of it, is even more phenomenal than his _five-hit production. He always has been among the league leaders in not even be a contest this sea- In Yankees Win fewest strikeouts, but there may] 9 he tg OEE ppt TT ra NORE Bobby Richardson) Ss Ree epee nee ee SPORTS IN BRIEF -For-Five Richardson has fanned an aver- age of 23 times in 661 plate ap- pearances, or once every 29 times at bat. If he maintains his present rate for the same number of at bats, he would fan only seven times. In the only other game played in the American League Thurs- day, Chicago White Sox -de- feated Cleveland Indians 5-1. Rain washed out the Baltimore- Kansas City game. Even with Richardson's hit- ting, the Yankees needed three- run homers by Joe Pepitone and Roger Maris for their vic- tory. Pepitone connected in the four-run first while Maris' blow gave New York a 9-5 lead in the fourth. Reliever Pete Mikkelsen won his fourth game against one de- feat, pitching his way out of jams in the last three innings. Ray Herbert and Frank Kreutzer limited the Indians to five hits, Kreutzer didn't give up anything after Herbert had to leave the game in the sixth when his elbow stiffened. _ The game was tied 1-1 in the sixth when Al Weis singled and Floyd Robinson slammed his son. For the last three years, seventh homer. Merritt's By THE CANADIAN PRESS After collecting a grand total of no runs and three hits in their last two International League games, Columbus Jets can be pardoned for wondering what Atlanta Crackers are doing in last place. Jim Merritt, who used to be a clubhouse boy for Los Angeles Dodgers, threw a one-hitter at the Jets Thursday night as the Crackers came through with a thumping 8-0 victory, good enough to get them within three games of seventh place. Gord Seyfried had limited Columbus to two hits in blanking them 5-0 24 hours earlier.
