Lonborg, Yaz Silence Birds
By JOHN G. GRIFFIN
DPI Executive Sports Editor
ST. LOUIS (UP)—They’ve
each raked in a pot with an ace,
so now it’s an even-up World
Series as they switch to the
home of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Jim Lonborg took care of that
with his one-hit, 5-0 victory for
the Boston Red Sox in
Thursday’s second game in
Boston and the Cardinals’ big
chance to take command of the
scries now is gone—at least, for
the present.
When the series resumes here
with the third game Saturday,
the Cards still will be the series
favorites but the 3-1 odds now
have slumped to 8-5.

Yaz Predicted
Two Home Runs
By BERNARD CAUGHEY
BOSTON (UPI) — Thursday,
Oct. 5, 1067—another big day in
the year of the Yaz.
Two home runs . . , four runs
batted in. That’s what triple
crown winner Carl Yastrzemski
donated Thursday in Boston’s 6-
0 win in the second game of the
World Series at Fenway Park.
He also singled, got a base on
balls and filed out.
And in this year of the Yaz—
as its known in beantown—
Thursday also was a special
holiday for Bosox pitcher Jim
Lonborg, who allowed only one
hit and a lone base on balls as
Boston evened the series at 1-1.
Fields Three
Only six balls—other than
second baseman Julian Javier’s
double In the eighth inning—
were hit out of the infield by St.
Louis. All were easy chances
with Yastrzemski grabbng three
of them. Rightfielder Jose

St. Louis and Gary Bell for
Boston in the third straight
matchup of righthanders in this
World Series, the Cards will be
favored to win the third game
at 3-2.
The Cards oan only regret the
big chance that’s gone—swept
away by Lonborg’s whiplash
right arm as he yielded only an
eighth-inning double to Julian
Javier, and by Carl Yazstrem
ski's flashing bat which detonat
ed two homers worth four runs.
Had the Cards won that one,
they would have come home
needing to win only two of three
in their own ball yard to win
the series for the second time in
four years.
n the opener, the Cards’ Bob
Gibson was the ace as he hurled
Tartabull snared two other flies
and center fielder Reggie Smith
grabbed the last one for the
final out.
Almost prophetically, Yas
trzemski predicted he would get
three hits, including two ho
mers, in Thursday’s game.
Later he said he was only
“kidding” when he made the
remark to a photographer after
he went hitless in Wednesday’s
2-1 series opener loss.
“Yes, I said it kiddingly to
Jerry Buckley, our club photo
grapher, because I felt so good
after taking extra batting
practice following the first
game,” Yaz explained.
Works On Timing
“My timing had gone off a
little during the two-day layoff
after we won the pennant on
Sunday. But I felt so good after
last night's extra hitting that I
didn’t take any batting practice
before the game today. I took a

a six-hit victory, but this time
the “miracle” Bosox were the
ones who had their ace ready.
Boston, its belief in the
“miracle of 1867” rejuvenated,
was booming with optimism.
Manager Optimistic
Manager Dick Williams put it
this way as he named his
pitchers for all the St. Louis
ggmes:
“Bell will pitch Saturday,
Jose Santiago on Sunday—and
then Lonnie (Lonborg) will
wrap it up for us on Monday.”
Cards skipper Red Schoen
dienst said he will follow Briles
in the pitching order with Steve
Carlton on Bunday. Plenty of
eyebrows went up when he said
it, because it’s hard to picture
30-minute nap on a rubbing
table in the trainer's room
instead,” the sweat-soaked Yas
trzemski said.
Yastrzemski said he hit a low
fast ball off losing St. Louis
pitcher Dick Hughes for his solo
homer in the fourth inning on
an 0-1 pitch.
Hughes had a different story.
“I threw it where I wanted it. It
was an up-and-in fast ball, but I
didn’t have enough zip. I didn’t
break it off enough. I was
concentrating on a spot and I
didn’t throw it as hard as I
should have,” the bespectacled
hurler said.
Yastrzemski’s three-run ho
mer in the seventh inning came
on a high fast ball of Cardinal
reliever Joe Hoerner.

St. Louis not using Gibson on
Sunday with three days rest—
especially if the Bosox win on
Saturday.
The Cards, of course, were
not alone in talking about what
might-have-been in the wake of
Thursday’s game.
The no-hitter that didn’t
happen was the biggest might
have-been and Lonborg looked
back regretfully.
Lanky Jim said he developed
a blister on the thumb of his
pitching hand about the middle
of the game and had to vary his
delivery somewhat. He said he
“might have gotten Javier if it
wasn’t for the blister.” It's
something he’ll always wonder
about.
Griffin, Therrell Play
Crucial Game Tonight
The Griffin High Eagles will
put their two game winning st
reak on the line tonight when
they clash with Therrell High
at Cheney Stadium-
The Eagles carry a 2-3 record
into the important region con
test. Therrell is 3-2. The Pan
thers lost to Woodward and
Avondale.
Griffin’s losses were to Wood
ward, Cedartown ana Decatur.
The victories were over Jones
boro and Forest Park.
The Eagles were a much im
proved ball team last Friday
against Forest Park, who came
to Griffin unbeaten and tied
once.
Coach Max Dowis was excep
tionally happy with the execu
tion in the second, third and
fourth quarters.
Forest Park took the open
ing kickoff and drove for a tou
chdown.
However, after that, the Pan
thers were never in the ball
game.
The Eagles bounced back and
knocked the Panthers from the
unbeaten ranks with a field goal
and two touchdowns.
Coach Dowis said Thursday
that the offensive line was block
ing much better and the backs
were running harder.
The Griffin Coach plans to st
art the same offensive lineup
For Yazstremski, of course,
there were no personal regrets,
The American League’s triple
crown batting king went O-for
four in the first game and
punished himself with post-,
game batting practice.
He broke the scoreless tie
with his first homer in the
fourth inning, a drive into the
lower right field stands off Card
starter Dick Hughes. His second
homer was a tremendous 450?
foot drive into the right-center
bleachers in the seventh with
two mates aboard off Card
reliever Joe Hoerner.
The other Sox run was
unearned and was driven in by
Rico Petrocelli with a sacrifice
fly in the sixth.

year, talked money when they

first inning of the second game.
Yaz drew a walk and when he
reached base Cepeda said to
him: “Did you get your *IOO,OOO

“Yeah,” replied the Boston
left fielder. “Did you get
yours?”
“No,” said Cepeda, turning
his attention back to the ball
