, Mets shortly afte r Schofield
i joined the Dodgers. Against the
Braves he had three hits in
j tour times at bat.
And one of those hits Monday
was Schofield's first home run
in three years. That gave him
a homer for each of the 15
years he has played in the ma
jors and averaged out to one
four-bagger in every 154 times
at bat.
The homer was a thrill to
Schofield but not as great as
his ninth inning single which
drove in Jim Lefebvre to end
the game.
“It's a real great feeling to
have a good night like that,”
said Schofield. “I’d like to con
tinue playing as long as I can.”
And so far as manager Walt
Alston is concerned, Schofield
will see plenty of action.
“Schofield has been pretty
hot at the plate recently,” Al
ston said. “I may have to rest
him some time but I’m not go
ing to take him out while he’s
one of our hot players. He’s go
ing too good for that.”
The win was the third
/straight complete game victory
for the Dodgers and their fifth
win in six games. Although he
had his problems, Don Sutton
went the distance to post his |
fourth victory against eight!
losses.
After holding the Braves to!
two hits in the first four |
innings, Sutton ran into trouble
in the filth when he loaded the j
bases but managed to get out
of it without giving up a run.
In the sixth, however, Hank
Aaron led off with a single and
Mack Jones got aboard when I
Aaron beat out a fielder’s j
choice play at second base.
That set it up for Clete Boyer '
to double in the two Atlanta <
rims and tie the game 2-2.
The Dodgers and Braves end
their two-game series tonight
when Bill Singer, 1-3, opposes
the ace of the Atlanta mound
staff, Denny Lemaster, 7-1.
Braves, Astros
Wind Up Trade
ATLANTA (UPl)—The Atlan
ta Braves announced Monday
two player moves which wind
up the deal by which Atlanta
swapped pitcher Wade Blasin
game for Houston’s Claude Ray
mond.
The Austin, Tex., farm club
of the Braves made an outright
purchase of the contract of
third baseman-outfielder Derrell
Griffith from the Astro farm at
Oklahoma City, and the Braves’
Kinston, N. C., club sent pitcher
Byran Murphy to Asheville in a
Carolina League switch.

TRY OPEN TENNIS
MELBOURNE (UPI' Aus
tralia's Lawn Tennis Associa
tion i LTAA i voted Monday io '
support open tennis on a two
year trial basis ai the July’ 12
meeting of the International
l awn Tennis Federation.
Although eyewitnesses
aboard the plane claimed no
blows were landed, it took four ;
on their team mates to break up !
the battle between Aaron and '
Carty Sunday night as the i
Atlanta team was flying west. '
"It was one of those tilings
that happen on a ball club,”
Manager Billy Hitchcock said.
"It isn’t the first time two ;
players have lost their tempers |
and probably won't be the last.”
Aaron, one of the batting
stars of the National League,
refused to discuss the incident
but spokesmen for the club said
the trouble was settled peaceful
ly.
According to an eye witness,
Aaron and infielder Mike de la
Hoz were kidding when Carty
got into the discussion which
soon became bitter and erupted
into name calling. The two
players then began throwing
punches and it took the efforts
of pitchers Tony Cloninger, Clay
Carroll, Gary Geiger and Pat
Jarvis to pull the combatants
apart.
Whether by coincidence or as
a result of the fight, the plane
began swaying during the battle
and persons aboard the aircraft
reported the pilot ordered
everyone to his seat.
You won’t. He may.
Don't let someone else's passing
fanev get you in trouble. Wherever
you drive, drive defensively. Always...
Watch out for
the other guy.
