Yankees Near to First
American Leaguers who laughed when Yogi Berra was appointed manager of the New York Yankees are crying "help" today.
The Berra-led Yankees are riding a five-game winning streak that has carried them into a virtual tie for first place in the American League scarcely a week after they seemed to be wandering about in a fog.
The Yankees swept to within 17 percentage points of the firstplace Chicago White Sox Sunday when they beat the Cleveland Indians, 12-2 and 3-2 in 10 innings. The victories completed an old-fashioned Yankee four-game sweep which dropped the Indians from first to fourth place.
Ron Hansen hit a three-run homer and J. C. Martin also homered for the White Sox, who have a 12-6 record compared to the Yankees' 13-7 mark. Hoyt Wilhelm shutout the Angels for the last two innings but the victory went to Eddie Fisher, who worked the middle four frames. Dick Simpson and Jim Fregosi homered for the Angels.
The White Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 5-3, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Detroit Tigers, 2-1 and 7-1, the Minnesota Twins downed the Kansas City Athletics, 6-3, and the Boston Red Sox won, 9-4, after a 13-4 loss to the Washington Senators in other American League games.
IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE, Los Angeles routed San Francisco, 9-1, St. Louis whipped New York, 10-1, after a 4-1 setback, Milwaukee won, 11-5 and then lost, 6-5, to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati stopped Philadelphia, 2-0, and Houston scored a 4-1 victory after a 4-3 loss to Chicago.
Milt Pappas yielded four hits in 81/3 innings to win his first game of the season and Wally Bunker, pitching for the first time since his one-hit debut, allowed nine hits in the nightcap to complete Baltimore's sweep. Willie Kirkland and Norm Siebern drove in two runs each for the Orioles in the second game.
The Twins beat the Athletics for the second straight game as Don Mincher hit a three-run homer and rookie Tony Oliva weighed in with three hits. Camilo Pascual was tagged for 12 hits but hung on for the nine innings to register his third win. Oliva raised his average to .441.
Craig Loses—To the Mets
Roger Craig can't remember walking under any ladders or breaking any mirrors, yet there's no doubt that the St. Louis righthander carries with him a peculiar curse.
In his two years of toil and trouble with the Mets, Craig won just 15 games and lost 46 despite pitching some of the best baseball of his life.
Yesterday Craig came back to New York to once and for all sever all ties with his former torturers and teammates, who had handed him most of those 46 defeats.
who got too few runs and suffered an all too familiar late-inning malady.
It all started three years ago when the newly-minted New York Mets acquired Craig from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League expansion pool, and only a soothsayer can tell when it will end.
Alas, the merciless Mets did it again, thumping Roger 4-1 with a three-run outburst in the eighth inning which included home runs by Rod Kanehli and Frank Thomas. It was the same old story for Craig,
The Mets, however, managed to play more like Roger remembered them in the second game of the double header as the Cards shelled rookie Jerry Hinsley, making his first start in pro ball, and veteran Tom Sturdivant, making his debut as a Met, for 14 hits and a 10-1 victory.

NEW YORK—(UPI)—It may be turnabout again today for the "sweet and mean" man of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The six-foot, six-inch righthander is a hot item at the moment after checking the latest Dodger skid with his fourth straight victory. And, to spoon the icing on the cake, it was a six hitter against those not-too-favored Giants.
That would be towering Don Drysdale, the same that Manager Walt Alston once referred to as "a sweet pitcher and a mean competitor."
Drysdale will tell you with bland innocence, once the fire of battle has faded from his flashing eyes, that he would hardly take a swatter to a fly. But hand him the ball, and you'd better add a few grains of salt.
ACTUALLY HE WAS a bit slow getting started this season. He lost his first start to the Cardinals and then, in order, went for no decision against the Reds and piled up those four in a row with a six hit shutout against Houston,
THERE ARE all kinds of terms for Drysdale, depending primarily on whether you are "for" him or "agin" him: Those "agin" cuss him as a "head hunter" with a dangerously low boiling point. Crowd the plate, they'll rave, and he'll throw it right at your skull so fast you better start ducking when he winds up.
Yet, after a fine season in which he labored in the shadow of fireballing Sandy Koufax, Drysdale looks to be about ready to spring back into the front row.

a five-hit romp over those pesky Giants, a three-hit squeaker over Houston and this latest epic of derring-do against the Giants.
They moved, with his sigh of relief providing the air power, into Chavez Ravine in 1962 and the big man demonstrated what relief and fielding space can accomplish. He won 25 games against nine defeats, led the league with 232 strikeouts as well as those victories, and earned the Cy Young Award as the pitcher of the year.
that skeleton too big for anybody's closet.
He just may be shooting right back at 1962, which was the best year of all for the man who is now 27.
Like Bob Feller, he was started and coached by his father in "a steady backyard routine." After minor league service, Drysdale caught on at Brooklyn with a 5-5 mark in 1956 and at 21 posted a 17-9 mark in the old Flatbush ballpark which now is an apartment house development.
THEN CAME FOUR frantic years when the Dodgers moved to Baghdad-on-the-Pacific. They played in the coliseum, with a left field screen over which you could hit a soft wedge shot, and every time Drysdale wheeled into his delivery he saw
Last season he had an overworked 18-17 mark which went virtually unnoticed in the cheering for Koufax' great year. But big Don did post a three-hit shutout against the Yanks in the third game of the World Series to set up Sandy's final closeout heroics.
So he took a back seat for the year, or at least one in the second row. This time it may once again be the other way around.
