BUENOS AIRES (UPD—Cliff
Richey of San Angelo, Tex., won
the men’s singles title of the
75th River Plate tennis cham
pionship Sunday when he beat
Clark Graebner of Beechwood,
Ohio, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.
NASCAR’s winningest grand na

Petty forged into the final
lead on the 4080 lap of the race

Yarborough finished the race,
but in second place after losing
his edge in the mishap.

from fourth place to go Into the
lead.”
The Warriors, meeting the
challenge,” thus kept their
hopes alive for the National
Basketball Association cham
pionship.
The teams clash in the Cow
Palace tonight with Philadelphia
holding a 3-2 edge in the best-of
seven game series.
San Francisco went ahead to
stay at 106-105 Sunday on a free
throw by Rick Barry, who
converted a technical foul called
on Philadelphia’s Hal Greer.
The Warriors opened a 112-106
spread with 1:12 remaining, and
Philadelphia never made anoth
er serious threat.
“The defense won it for us,
especially the defense in the
second half,” Sharman said.
"The defense in the second half
was the best all year.”
Sharman said Nate Thur
mond’s defensive play against
76er ace Wilt Chamberlain was
a key factor in the victory.
Thurmond tallied 17 points and
held Chamberlain to 20, while
snaring 28 rebounds to Cham
berlain’s 24.
The 76ers opened the fourth
quarter with a 96-84 lead and
raised their margin to 13 points
at 97-84. Philadelphia then lost
the scoring touch and the
Warriors reeled off 10 straight
points to slice the 76er lead to
97-94 with 9:01 left.
The winners finally caught up
on a basket by Barry that
produced a 102-102 tie with 3:22
remaining. There were then ties
at 103 and 105 before Barry,
who notched 36 points, sent San
Francisco in front to stay.
Braves, Giants
‘Weathered’ At
Candlestick Park
SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—The
Atlanta Braves and the San
Francisco Giants wrestled to
day with the problem of re
scheduling three ball games
which were rained out in as
many days.
Following Friday night’s post
ponement, the Braves and
Giants were "weathered” again
Sunday at Candlestick Park
during the second inning of the
opener of a doubleheader.
However, the Giants did turn
back the Braves Saturday, 6-5,
when shortstop Denis Menke
committed an error on Willie
McCovey’s grounder with the
winning run on third base in
the ninth inning.
McCovey’s grand slam had
given the Giants a 4-3 lead in
the eighth, but Clete Boyer
homered for Atlanta in the
Braves’ ninth with one on to
put them back ahead.
A crowd of 18,000 remained
in the rainsoaked park Sunday
for an hour and 50 minutes af
ter time was called with two
out in the second inning and
Tom Haller at bat for the Gi
ants and a three and two count.
Tony Cloninger of the Braves
never got to deliver the clutch
pitch as the rain got worse at
that point and time was called.
Nearly two hours later, the um
pires decided that the game

DALLAS (UPD—Bert Yancey
was’t proud of the way he hit
the ball Sunday, but had no
complaints about the putter
which made him the leader
going into today’s final round of
the Greater Dallas Open Tour
nament.
Yancey, a 28-year-old Flori
dan who once captained the
West Point links team before a
nervous breakdown got him a
discharge, made a mockery
of the putting greens on the
6,700-yard Oak Cliff Country
Club course in firing a 35-31—66
for a 54-hole total of 203.
While nearly everyone else
was having troubles with the
greens, Yancey rolled in six
birdie putts totaling 149 yards—
or just about a 25-yard average
per birdie.
He still has his work cut out
for him, however, for the traffic
is heavy behind his with Kermit
Zarley just a stroke away at
204, Bob Goalby and Charles
Sifford at 205, Doug Sanders
and lefty Bob Charles at 206
and Masters champion Gay
Brewer and defending Dallas
Open titlist Roberto de Vicenzo
at 207.
Most of them held or shared
the lead at one time or another
during the sun-bathed third
round—a welcome weather pat
tern after three days of stormy
weather that washed out last
Friday’s action and forced the
postponement of the final round
until today.
Charles, who had a bit of his
old putting touch himself, shot
the best third round of the field
—a 33-32—65 with a pair of 15-
footers, two others of 20 and 30
feet and a fifth birdie with a
two-putt green on the par five
second hole.
Kancey, who won three
tournaments last year and led
the Masters for three rounds
this year, said he “was not
proud of the way he hit the
ball,” but admitted that he sank
some "real lulus” with his
putter.
was off.
Juan Marichal pitched two
scoreless innings against Atlan
ta before the elements took
over.
The Braves and Giants were
idle today. The Braves move
over to Los Angeles Tuesday
night for a three-game series
with the Dodgers.
