Baseball Comeback
By GARY KALE
TJPI Sports Writer
The San Francisco Giants are
haggling with Juan Marichal
over a $100,000 price tag while
right in their own locker room
is a record book name that
would gladly sign on for two
bits.
Don Larsen, who pitched the
only perfect World Series game,
is trying to hook on with a big
league team again and immedi
ately made his point for a job
on the Giants roster. He entered
Wednesday’s game against Cle
veland in the ninth inning and
was a 3-2 winner in 10.
Larsen is remembered for his
baseball brilliance on Oct. 8,
1956, when he retired 27 men in
a row as the New York Yankees
defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers
in the fifth game of the World
Series.
He beat about the majors
with various clubs, including
San Francisco, before dropping
out of the big leagues. The
Giants invited him for another
look-see and with ever increas
ing pension payments for
Hephzibah Ousts
56-55
The Milner High girls almost
pulled the first big upset in the
State Class C basketball tourna
ment under way at Macon.
Milner bowed to Hephzibah
56-55 in the opening round.
Hephzibah entered the tourna
ment with a perfect 29-0 record
and was glad to settle for the
one point victory over the sc
rappy girls from Milner.
The whole story and difference
lng the game were fouls.
Milner’s guards ran into foul
difficulty early. All starters foul
ed out.
Bobbie Mann and Vicki Mad
dox, two of Coach Joe Bell’s best
defenders, were in foul trouble
before the first quarter ended
and sat out the second. Donna
Powell was benched in the third
Falcons Must Wait
For Randy Matson
COLLEGE STATION, Tex.
(UPI) — The Atlanta Falcons
will have to wait until after the
1968 Olympics for shotputter
Randy Matson to play for them.
Matson, world record holder
in the shotput, was picked in
the fifth round of the NFL-AFL
draft Tuesday.
But Wednesday the Texas
A&M giant said he plans to
compete in the shotput at the
1968 Olympics.
“After that, I’ll just have to
wait and see,” he said.
"I’ll do nothing between now
and then to jeopardize my am
ateur standing,” Matson said
“If I win the shotput in the

.562 for six games. Leon
Wagner homered for Cleveland.
Bo Belinsky pitched four
shutout innings for Houston in
his comeback effort as the
Astros pushed across two runs
in the ninth inning to beat
Detroit. Jose Herrera’s pinch-hit
drove in the deciding
because of fouls.
However, Coach Bell said the
reserve guards did a tremen
dous job. He praised the play
of Wyona Ingram, a 10th grad
er, Claire Edwards, and Brenda
Phinazee, another 10th grader.
”1 can’t say enough about our
guards. They were up against
players much taller than they,”
Coach Bell said.
On the opposite end of the
court, Milner’s Reggie O’Neal
raised a few eyebrows by scor
ing 15 field goals and finishing
the game with 34 points.
“Its doubtful that Reggie will
make the all-tournament team,”
Coach Bell said.
“In order to get that recogni
tion. a team needs to stay in the
tournament at least until the
tally.
Minnesota used three
ladelphia pitchers for batting
practice, rapping out 18 hits,
including homers by rookies
Rod Carew and Dick Reese.
Jim Kaat, Dave Boswell, Jerry
Fosnow and A1 Worthington
limited the Phils to four hits
and an unearned run.
A Dick Billings triple and Jim
French’s sacrifice fly pushed
across the winning run in the
11th inning for Washington.
Dick Lines retired six straight
Atlanta batters to get credit for
the victory.
Rose Homers Twice
Pete Rose had his hitting
clothes on against the Mets as
lie blasted two homers and a
single good for five runs. Seven
Cincinnati runs were unearned
as the Mets made five errors.
Ken Boyer homered for New
York.
Kansas City took it on the
chin for the sixth straight game
when Baltimore bombed the A’s
with 11 hits. Curt Blefary hit a
three-run homer for the Orioles
semi-finals.
“I didn’t see a better forward
in the opening round. I wouldn’t
trade Reggie for any girl I saw,”
Coach Bell said.
O’Neal’s 34 points were high
for the game.
Brenda Newman of Hephzibah
scored 30.
O’Neal scored 15 field goals
and four free shots. Newman
made nine field goals and 12
free shots.
Diane Bryan scored 15 points
for Milner and Romona Edwards
scored six.
Milner outshot Hephzibah 24-28
from the field. However, Hephzi
bah went to the free throw line
34 times. Milner took only 13
free shots.
prise to him, he said, because
the Atlanta team had already
contacted him.
Matson, who re-injured his
hand at the border Olympics at
Laredo, Tex., Saturday, will not
throw the shot for the next two
weekends to give his hand some
rest.
