Cards Take Lead as Cepeda Error Clips Giants in Night Thriller
St Louis edged San Francisco 6 5 after a ninth inning throwing error by Orlando Cepeda on a bunt allowed Tim McCarver to score the winning run. McCarver had singled and Red Schoendienst sacrificed to set up the rally and keep the Cardinals atop the NL by a half game. Willie McCovey homered and Felipe Alou tripled for the Giants as Ray Sadecki held the mound until a late rally doomed him.

Anti-Bonus Rule Pushes Veterans Out Of Majors
Boston Red Sox officials say MLB anti bonus rules push aging veterans out of the majors faster than expansion benefits. They estimate about 30 aging pinch hitters and relievers lose big league chances, while youngsters go unsigned due to roster limits and an $8 000 waiver price. Jim Gosger and Gage Naudain are the team’s bonus babies affected.
