Behind the four hit pitching

The win raised the Jackets’ rec-
ord to 3-2 and kept them in the

Phillies Wallop
Cubs 12-0
CHICAGO (AP) — Chris Short
set down the first 16 batters in
order and wound up with a
three-hitter Saturday as the
Philadelphia Phillies exploding
for a seven-run fifth inning, wal-
loped the Chicago Cubs 12-0.
The 28-year-old southpaw, an
18-game winner last season, did
not allow a base run until Don
Kessinger beat out a scratch
single into the shortstop hole
with one out in the sixth,
Ron Santo slammed a solid
two-out double to deep left in
the seventh, putting a definite
end to Short’s spell.
In the big fifth, twelve batters
paraded to the plate, collecting
seven hits in a half inning that
consumed 29 minutes.
Tony Taylor delivered the key
blow, a three-run homer.
The loss was the last-place
Cubs fourth straight and 12th in
15 starts.

lead in the fourth on a walk to
Andy Mullen, a triple by Don
Claxton and a fly ball by Her-
nandez.
With one away in the fifth Phil
Moore singled and Parnell Skin-
ner and Andy Mullen walked to
load the bases.
Claxton promptly cleaned the
sacks with a double and ended
his day with four runs batted in.
The Jackets had two on base
in the sixth but foiled to score.
Hernandez walked and Moore
reached first safely on a field-
er’s choice. However both died on
base as Joe Scott grounded out
third to first.

Tuesday at 7:15 p.m. in the next

Boston 16-9
BOSTON (AP)—-Rick Reich-
ardt hit two homers, driving in
four runs, and Jim Fregosi
ripped a three-run double as the
California Angels exploded for
12 runs in the eighth inning and
whipped Boston 16-9 Saturday.
Reichardt, who received an
estimated $175,000 bonus to sign
with the Angels, tied the major
league record for two homers in
an inning, becoming the 11th
player to accomplish the feat.
The last to do it was Joe Pepi-
tone on the New York Yankees
in 1962,
The inning, the biggest in the
majors this season, wiped out a
9-3 Red Sox lead and was built
against starter Earl Wilson and
relivers Ken Sanders, Dick Ra-
datz and Dan Osinski.
The Angels, held to two hits
for seven innings, collected 11
in the eighth,, including Reich-
ardt’s blast and a two-run shot
by Bobby Knoop.
Reichardt, Knoop, Fregosi
and Joe Adcock each had a pair
of hits as California sent 15 men
to the plate.

hind anchor leg to pace Villano-
va’s quartet of sophomores to a
two-yard victory over George-
town in the two-mile rally in
7*39.3, as Florida A&M swept
the 440 yards and 880 yards re-
lays Saturday.
The other winners of the eight
premier relays of the meet
which drew 6,000 track and field
athletes were Kentucky State in
the college mile sprint medley
in 3:24.5; Tennessee, 480-yard
shuttle hurdle relay, 59.5;
Georgetown, four-mile relay
17:06.3, and Maryland State by
five yards over Morgan State in
the one-mile relay.
It was the first relay victories
here for Tennessee and Florida
A&M. The Floridians broke the
ice in the quarter-mile with a
two-yard edge over Morgan
State in 41.6. Then they finished
second to Maryland State in the
half-mile but were awarded first
when the Marylanders were dis-
qualified for passing too soon on
the exchange between the sec-
ond and third men. Florida
A&M’s time was 1:26.9.
■ Villanova, trailing badly after
two legs of the four mile relay,
pulled out at the start of the
third mile to save Ian Hamilton
and Patrick for the two-mile
relay later.
It paid off for the Wildcats,
who had copped the distance
medley relay Friday on Pa-
trick’s sizzling 4:04.6 anchor
mile.
Jumbo Elliott’s Wildcats,
winners of at least one relay for
the last 12 years, now have
copped 27 in 12 years. Villanova,
which has dominated the meet
for the last 10 years, wasn’t ex-
pected to do much this year fol-
lowing the wholesale graduation
of its star-studded 1965 team.
Patrick was named the meet’s
outstanding athlete.
Only two meet records were
bettered in the two days be-
cause of the weather.
Friday Villanova fractured
the distance medley record by
7.5 seconds. Saturday, Sam
Bair, Jr., of Kent State of Ohio
took the college two mile run in
8:49.2, beating the mark of
8:53.6 set by Bill Straub of
Army two years ago.

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Sam
Bair Jr., a junior from Kent
State of Ohio, set a meet record
of 8:49,2 toay in racing to a
surprise victory in the two-mile
run at the 72nd annual Penn
Relays.
Bair, the Mid-America Con-
ference mile champion, broke
the record of 8:53.6 set by Bill
Staub of Army in 1964.
The midwesterner raced to
the front with about 200 yards to
go and widened his margin to
some 20 yards at the finish over
runner-up Barry Brown of Prov-
idence. Another five yards away
was James Johnson of William

Lead Saturday
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) —
Gene Littler surged from a tie
for third place to take the lead
Saturday with a three-round
total of 202 in the $80,000 Texas
Open Golf Tournament.
Littler shot a three-under-par
67 and was eight strokes under
par for the three rounds.
The second round leaders,
Phil Rodgers and Jim Ferrier
shot two-over-par 72s to drop
into a tie for fourth place with
five others at 205.
Jerry Edwards, 29-year-old
tour regular from Fort Worth,
Tex., shot a 67 to go with two
earlier 68 rounds for sole poss-
ession of second place with 203.
Three others vaulted from
lower positions to tie for third
place with 204 totals. They were
Harold Henning, who shot a
spectacular 65; Joe Campbell,
who had a 66, and Dave Marr,
who shot his second 67.
They were joined by Tommy
Aaron, the second place holder
Friday, who soared to an even-
par 70.
Graustark Will
Enter Kentucky
Derby Saturday
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) —
Kentucky Derby favorite Grau-
stark arrived at Churchill
Downs Saturday and still was
counted as an entry in next Sat-
urday’s race.
Trainer Loyd Gentry said
Graustark was having some
trouble with his left front hoof,
but expects his colt to start in
the Derby.
Graustark’s infected hoof was
being Soaked in epsom salts in
an effort to break up the ab-
scess and relieve the pain. The
abscess was caused by foreign
matter, probably gravel that
worked its way up into the hoof.
The decision on whether the
Darby Dan Farm colt will run
in the Derby probably will not be
made for another several days,
Gentry said.
Churchill Downs, one of the last
preps for the May 7 classic.
Old Bag, ineligible for the
Derby, nipped Mary D. Kiem’s
Sean E Indian by one-half
length. Padget and Grant’s Blue
Skyer was another three-quar-
ters behind.
Sean E Indian, Blue Skyer
and Clear Springs Stable’s Beau
Sub, last in the five-horse field,
are eligible for the $125,000-add-
ed Derby.
Sean E Indian and Blue Skyer
may have earned Derby starts
but the poor finish by Beau Sub
all but ruled him out of the Der-
by.
Sean E Indian, with Earlie
Fires in the saddle, set the early
pace while Old Bag, on the rail,
and Blue Skyer, on the outside,
challenged in the final quarter
of a mile.
Old Bag, ridden by Willie
Shoemaker and owned by P. &
R Schleicher and S. M. Rieser,
was timed in 1:25 1-5 for the
seven furlongs over a sloppy
track.
The winner returned $11.40,
$4.20 and $2.40. Sean E Indian
paid $3.20 and $2.20. Blue Skyer,
the favorite, paid $2.20.

NEW YORK (AP) — The new

10th team in the National Bas-
ketball Association in the 1966-67
season, picked 10 players Satur-
day, two from each of the clubs
in the Eastern Division They
will select eight more, two from

Walter Kennedy, NBA presi-
dent, refused to divulge the
amount of money paid for the

the new club paid a total of $1.6
million for the franchise and the
18 players.
Dick Klein, presdent, general
manage and part owner of the
new entry, said he was sur-
prised to get Jerry Sloan of Bal-
timore and Nate Bowman of

Captured Baton Titles
SPUTTERING 5
By Walter L. Johns, Central Press Sports Editor
THE 92ND KENTUCKY DERBY is coming up fast on
the inside and once again they’re talking about a short-
priced favorite—which it ever is at this time of the year.
The odds-on reference is to Graustark, the Darby Dandy
who moved in front and center when Buckpasser, the two-
year-old king and Flamingo winner, came up with bad legs
and will be out of the Run for the Roses, scheduled for his-
toric old Churchill Downs in Louisville May 7.
Graustark had a fabulous two-year-old career, getting a
late start but winning all three races in which he was
entered. It was the way he won them, too, which has
brought him up to this as one of the possible future greats
of the turf.
In his first start, last July 19, at Chicago, he went off at
1 to 5 and won by seven lengths. Two weeks later he was
2 to 5 and breezed home by nine lengths. His last start, as
a two-year-old, was in a stakes event and he rocketed home
by six lengths. This winter, in Florida, he made two starts,
and won them both.
Graustark is the son of Ribot, the undefeated European
champ, and Flower Bowl and trained by Lloyd Gentry. The
Darby Dan farm, headed by John Galbreath, had a Derby
winner in 1963 with Chateaugay.
IF GRAUSTARK keeps sound and does well in pre-Derby
tuneups, he could be the shortest-priced favorite in Derby
history. The early Derby short-price was. on Himyar, who
ran second in 1878 in a race held on Ma^y 21 of that year.
Since mutuel wagering was introduced, in that same year,
the shortest-priced Derby horses have been Count Fleet, in
1943, Citation in 1948 and Bimelech in 1940, who went off at
40 cents on the $1. Bimelech finished second and the other
two won.
THEY’RE ALSO talking now about the ladies, for this
Derby, especially the undefeated Clariborne Farm’s Mocca-
sin, the filly champ last year with eight straight victories
and $319,731 in money won.
Moccasin, trained by Harry Trotsek, hasn’t raced since
last November but is at Keeneland and what the daughter
of Nantallah-Rough Shod 2nd will do remains to be seen.
There hasn’t been a filly entered in the Derby since 1959
when Silver Spoon finished fifth.
Six fillies were nominated for the 1966 event, headed by
Moccasin, but in the long history of the Derby only one,
Regret in 1915, won it and only six of the 29 starters in the
Derby have even finished in the money.
Closest in the last 45 years was Prudery, in 1921, who
finished third.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) —
One national collegiate and 15
meet records tumbled, and little
Southern University captured
four baton titles in the wind-
swept Drake Relays Saturday.
Saturday’s closing session of
the two-day meet, was watched
by 18,000 track buffs shivering
in 45 degree weather at Drake
University Stadium.
A disappointment was Jim
Ryun, the phenomenal Kansas
freshman who failed in an at-
tempt to crack the four-minute
mile barrier at Drake.
Among the record breakers
were Randy Matson, Texas
A&M’s world shotput champion,
who completed a second succes-
sive Drake double; Michigan
State’s 480-yard shuttle hurdle
quartet which set the NCAA
mark, and Southern Universi-
ty’s meet records in the college
880 and two-mile relays.
Southern University dominat-
ed the college division, sweep-
ing all but two of the six events.
Texas Southern took the college
440, breaking the Drake record
for the second successive day
with a 40.2 clocking.
The other college baton title,
Texas Schoolboy
Favorites Pose
In Track Meet
AUSTIN (AP)—- San Antonio
Highlands, San Marcos, Taylor,
Quitman and Bartlett will be the
favorites for state champion-
ships in the Texas schoolboy
track meet here Friday and
Saturday.
At least two overall records
and a dozen divisional marks
are expected to be set.
Highlands, with a team in
both relay events—and the re-
lays are worth twice as many
points as individual events—and
six Individuals, is expected to
win the AAAA title with Abilene
Cooper making it close.
San Marcos, with teams in
both relays and likely to win
each, is the favorite in Class
AAA but can get a sharp chal-
lenge from Monahans.
Taylor, with leading teams in
both relays, is the choice in
Class AA.
Quitman may not win a first
place but it has enough point
potentials to give it the top rat-
ing in Class A.
Bartlett is due to win the mile
relay, place among the leaders
in the 440 relay and its Isaiah
Walker should take the 880, so
it is favored for the Class B
championship.
Robert Gonzalez of Falfurrias
should set an overall mile rec-
ord. The record is 4:13.4 and
Gonzalez made it in 4:10.5 in
the regional meet.
Carl Johnson of San Angelo
and George Cato of Abilene
Cooper threaten the overall 220-
yard dash record of 21.4. Each
has done 21.3.
N C Coach
Dies Saturday
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Ev-
erett N. Case, former North
Carolina State College basket-
ball coach, died Saturday of
complications resulting from
hemorrhaging of the intenstine.
Case, 65, who built State into
a national basketball power,
entered the hospital Thsrsday
and underwent surgery Friday
to remove an ulcer.
Dr. Newton Pritchett, his phy-
sician, said death came at 6
p.m., EST in Rex Hospital.
Case, plagued by illness for
more than three years, stepped
down as N.C. State head coach
in December, 1964, and was suc-
ceeded by Press Maravich.
Orioles Edge
Detroit 3-2
DETROIT (AP) — Dave
Johnson hit two homers and
Curt Blefary one as the Balti-
more Orioles edged Detroit 3-2
Saturday and extended their
winning streak to nine games.
The Orioles have lost only one
of 12 games this season.
The home runs were the only
hits allowed by Detroit starter
Denny McLain, who went the
first seven innings and suffered
his first loss in four decisions.
Blefary connected for his homer
in the first inning, Johnson hit
his homers in the second and
seventh.
Mickey Stanley batted in both
Detroit runs with a double in the
second inning and a single in
the fourth.

the distance medley, went to
Miami of Ohio.
Oklahoma State and Southern
Methodist each captured two
events among the eight baton
races in the university division.
The only two new marks were
set by Michigan State in the
shuttle hurdles and Abilene
Christian in the distance med-
ley.
Nebraska won the university
mile relay and Kansas took the
four-mile relay Friday with a
record performance.
Giants Lead
6-1 Over Cards
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Or-
lando Cepeda’s two-run homer
and the six-hit pitching of Bob
Blin carried the San Francisco
Giants to a 6-1 victory over St.
Louis Saturday.
Willie Mays again foiled to hit
homer No. 512 in his bid to
break Mel Ott’s National
League record for career hom-
ers, but he slammed a third-in-
ning double and rode home on
Cepeda's shot. That turned out
to be enough for Bolin, who al-
lowed only an uneared run in
bringing his record to 3-2.
A crowd of 40,807, thousands
of them youngsters who re-
ceived free baseball bats,
watched Mays’ bid for the elu-
sive record. He equalled Ott’s
record last Sunday.
St. Louis 000 000 100—1 6 1

Jaster, Stallard (5), Briles

ver; Bolin and Barton, Haller
(6). W—Bolin, 3-2. L — Jaster,
2-2.
Home run — San Francisco,
Cepeda (2).
Matson, who retained his dis-
cus title Friday, posted a 65-3%
for a meet record in the shot
put. Matson, world shot put
champion at 70-7V4, last year set
a Drake mark of 63-11V4.
Jim Ryun, the nation’s pre-
mier miler, ran a disappointing
4:05.6 in his try at running the
first sub four-minute mile in
Drake history.
Football star Gene Washing-
ton anchored Michigan State’s
Spartans to a 57.4 victory in the
shuttle hurdles when Nebras-
ka’s anchor man, Ray Harvey,
spilled five yards from the fin-
ish while leading by six feet.
The former NCAA mark for
the shuttle hurdles was 57.5, set
by Winston-Salem in 1959 and
matched by Rice last year in
the Penn Relays. The Spartans
also broke their own Drake
mark of 57.9 set last year.
Although an aiding wind er-
ased potential meet marks of 9.3
by Nebraska’s Charlie Greene,
NCAA champion, in the 100-yard
dash, and a 13.6 high hurdles
triumph by Arnaldo Bristol of
Texas Southern, there was a
steady pounding of records in
the closing program.
The wind did not affect de-
fending high jump champion
Fred Hartfield of Texas South-
ern, who soared 6-10V4, topping
the Drake record of 6-9V4.
