Joe Morgan’s Homer
Nails 3-2
By JOE CAKNICELLI
DPI Sports Writer
Carl Yaztrzemskl, the American
League’s leading hitter in 1963,
seems like he’s ready to start
menacing rival pitchers again
this season.
Yastrzemski, who hit .321 in
1963, smashed two home runs
and drove in six runs Wednes
day as the Boston Red Sox
rallied from five runs back to
edge St. Louis 10-9.
In other action, Detroit
downed Philadelphia 6-2, the
New York Mets beat Cincinnati
5-3, Los Aangeles nipped Kansas
City 3-2, Pittsburgh stopped the
Chicago White Sox 6-4, Houston
edged Atlanta 3-2, Minnesota
blanked Washington 5-0 and
Cleveland slipped by California
2-1. The scheduled game be
tween San Francisco and the
Chicago Cubs was cancelled
because of rain.
The lefthanded hitting Yas
trzemski, whose average dipped
to .278 last year after he hit at
a .312 clip the year before, teed
off on southpaw Al Jackson
twice, connecting with one on in
the third and again with two
mates aboard in the fifth.
Ourl’s Game
The Red Sox outfielder also
walked with the bases loaded In
the sixth to drive across the
tying run and came around to
account for the eventual win
ning run on Joey Foy’s three
run triple.
The Detroit Tigers strung
together nine hits for five runs
in the last two innings to down
the Phils. Dick McAuliffe, who
had struck out three times
against Phillie starter Chris
Short, doubled off reliever Dck
Hall to break a 1-1 tie in the
three-run eighth and then
scored the winning run on a
single by Norm Cash.
Joe Sparma, George Korince
and Dave Wickersham com
bined to limit the Phils to only
three hits.
Bob Bailey’s home run
sparked a three-run first Inning
outburst as Los Angeles tripped
Kansas City. Don Drysdale
pitched six innings for the
National League champions,
allowing two runs on six hits
and walking none in picking up
the victory.
The New York Mets exploded
for five runs in the fourth
inning and rode home on a
strong relief performance by
Ron Taylor to dump Cincinnati.

was the big blow as the Mets
rapped Mel Queen for seven
hits In the inning.
Matty Alou, Gene Alley and
Manny Mota put together
singles and Manny Jimenez
added a sacrifice fly in the 10th
inning to lead Pittsburgh to a
come from behind victory over
the White Sox.
The Pirates, who spotted the
Sox a four-run lead on Ken
Berry’s bases-loaded homer in
the third, battled back on Donn
Clendenon’s home runs In the
fourth and sixth innings.
Second baseman Joe Mor
gan’s 375-foot home run over
the right field fence in the
eighth inning lifed Houston over
Atlanta. The Braves jumped on
Astro starter Larry Dierker for
a pair of runs in tne first inning
but Houston battled back to tie
the score on a solo homer by
rookie third baseman Doug
Rader in the second and rookie
outfielder Aaron Pointer’s sev
enth-inning single.
Hannon Killebrew poled a
400-foot home run and Dave
Boswell, Jim Perry and Ai
Worthington limited Washington
to just four singles as Minneso
ta shut out the Senators.
Killebrew’s homer was his filth
of the spring.
Cleveland capitalized on four
California errors and Gary Beil,
Vincente Romo and Dick
Radatz limited the Angeles to
four hits as the Indians edged
Bill Rigney’s crew. Rick Reieh
ardt homered in the second for
the Angels’ only run.
On other fronts, Los Aangeles
center fielder Willie Davis
sprained his left ankle and will
miss the remainder of spring
training. Davis sprained li
gaments sliding into second
base against the Athletics.
Houston’s Bo Belinsky, one of
baseball’s most renowned play
boys who thus far this season
was a model of deportment,
was fined $100 by Astro
manager Grady Hattonfor not
only missing the team’s night
curfew but also falling to make
the nine o’clock team bus for an
out-of-town game the next day.
Tom Tresh, the New York
Yankee outfielder who has been
out of action since March 11
with an injured knee, said
Wednesday he expects to play
this weekend when the Yankees
make their Caribbean tour.

met the businessman who in

scholarship of at the University
Illinois.
“X can’t tell you his name,”
Cyril said, “but he is a busi

told me he was recruiting for
Illinois and told me Illinois
was interested in me as a

“Sure, I listened. I had lis

I told him all the other
schools were offering trips

I would get if I wanted it. He
said I would get them at
Christmas and spring break.”
Five such trips were Cyril
Pinder’s downfall.
“I know it sounds stupid,”
Cyril said. “I had read about
guys who got in trouble for
taking money, getting cars
and things like that. But I
didn’t think I was doing any
