By The Associated Press
The Pittsburgh Pirates and New
York Yankees closed in on a
World Series date as the Bucs
swept a doubleheader at Phila-
delphia.,7-1 and 3-2, last night
and the Yanks got past Washing-
ton 2-1 in 11 innings.
It was the fourth straight suc-
cess for the Pirates, whose magic
number now is five for their first
National League pennant in 33
years, and the fifth in a row for
the Yankees, who retained a four-
game lead in the American League
race.
Cards Win Fourth Straight
The second place St. Louis
Cardinals, who trail by six games,
won their fourtn in a row with
a 3-2 decision over Los Angeles,
but they don't stand a chance
of winning the NL flag unless
the Bucs lose five of their remain-
ing nine games. Any combination

of five Pirate victories and St.
Louis defeats gives it to Pitts-
burgh..
The combination is down to twoy
for the third place Milwaukeej
Braves, who were beaten 9-0 by
the two-hit pitching of Cincin-
nati's Jay Hook and now trail by
eight games.'
New York reduced its magic
number to six over the Baltimore
Orioles, who beat Boston 4-3 and
broke a second place tie with idle
Chicago.
Cleveland remained tied withl
Washington for fourth place inj
a 9-1,defeat by Detroit.
San Francisco beat Chicago's'
Cubs 5-2 in the other NL game
as Sam Jones won his 17th with
a five-hitter.
Bill Virdon. who was 5-for-10
in the twi-night pair, drove in
three runs for the Pirates in the

opener with a home run, a doubler
and a single while Bob Friendj
(17-11) won his fourth in a row.
Hal Smith then won the nightcap
with a solo home run in the eight
inning after the Pirates had
battled from behind for a 2-2 tie
in the seventh on Bob Skinner's
second RBI single.
Clem Labine (3-1) was the win-
ner with three hitless innings in
relief of Harvey Haddix. Robin
Roberts (10-16) and Jim Owens.
(4-13) were the losers.
Friend, Haddix and Labine com-
bined for eight strikeouts that
gave the last place Phils a total
of 996, breaking the major league
season record set at 989 by the
1957 Cubs. Friend, who allowed
seven hits but didn't walk a man,

MOSCOW ()-Tass, the Soviet
News Agency, said yesterday a 19-
year-old Russian probably will
beat John Thomas' world high
Jump record before the end of
the year.
"Valery Brumel has all the
makings of the world's best high-
jumper," the Agency added.
Brumel finished second behind
a Russian teammate, Robert
Shavlakadze, in the Olympics at
Rome when brQui of them cleared

world record holder. Thomas was
third.

world record which just a short
while ago seemed certain to stand'
for years:'
The Soviet News Agency said
Brumel "possesses a superb tech-
nique and is amazingly determin-
ed to achieve his shorter than
Thomas. Thomas also is 19.
According to. Tass, Brumel has
two or three more competitions
this year, including the National
Team championships.
"His own feeling is that he

old mark was set in 1912 by
Claude Hendrix with 176.
Cards Blow Lead
The Cardinals blew a 1-0 lead
on Norm Larker's two-run pinch
single in the ninth, but bounced
back on Ken Boyer's single, two
walks and a two-out single by
rookie Charley James. Lindy Mc-
Daniel (12-4) was the winner and
Larry Sherry (14-9) the loser,
both in relief.
A bases-loaded error at the
plate by catcher Earl Battey gave
the Yankees the winning run after
they had blown a 1-0 lead in the
ninth on a bases-loaded wild
pitch by reliever Jim Coates.
Mickey Mantle's 36th home run
the Yankees the edge. Eli Grba

(5-4) was the winner in relief.
Don Lee (8-6) was the loser,
also in relief, when pinch-runner
Joe Demaestri scored as Tony
Kubek grounded to third and after
Battey failed to hold Harmon
Killebrew's peg. Bill Skowron's
had loaded the bases with one out.
third hit, a single, and two walks
Orioles Come from Behind
Three singles with two out in
the eighth by Gene Woodling, Jim
Gentile and Brooks Robinson -
who was ducking away from a
pitch - broke it up for the Orioles
after they had battled back from
a 3-0 deficit with the help of GUs
Triandos' 10th home run. Billy
Hoeft (2-1) was the winner in
relief. Tom Brewer (10-13) lost
it after Russ Nixon's one-on
homer had triggered the Red Sox
in a three-run second inning.
Hook (11-17), facing just 29
batters, and the Reds beat Lew
Burdette (17-12) as Roy McMillan
and Ed Bailey combined for five
RBIs. Home runs by Dick Gernert,
Lou Berberet and Al Kaline made
it a breeze for Tiger right-hander
Frank Lary (14-15) against Injun
ace Jim Perry (17-9). A two-run
triple by Jim Davenport capped a
clinching three-run fourth for the
Giants against Dick Ellsworth
(6-13).
