Bosox Pin Hopes
On Jim Lonborg
By JOHN G. GRIFFIN
UPI Executive Sports Editor
ST. LOUIS (UPD—Only the
lanky farm and whiplash arm
of Jim Lonborg stand today
between the St. Louis Ordinals
and their eighth baseball world
championship.
On top three games to one
after Bob Gibson’s easy five-hit,
$-0 triumph Sunday, the Cardin
als called on 23-year-old south
paw strikeout artist Steve
Carlton to wrap it all up for
them in today’s fifth game
starting at 1 p.m. CDT.
But squarely in the way is
Lonborg, the fireballing ex
medical student who operated
on the Cards with surgical
precision in winning the series’
second game, 5-0, on a one
hitter.
Lonborg nearly made the
Cards the patsies in the second
no-hitter in series history in
that one, missing out only when
Julian Javier doubled with two
out in the eighth inning. The
Sox are confident he’ll save
them today—and send the series
back to Boston’s Fenway Park
for a sixth game Wednesday.
Forecasts Win
“Lonnie will win," forecast
Boston Manager Dicli Williams,
“and then we’ll be back home.”
Lonborg, who won 22 games
this season Including the
pennant-clincher on the last
day, disclosed that the thumb
blister which bothered him in
the second game seems all right
now—but could reoccur quickly.
“It keeps coming back,” said
the 6-foot-5 righthander.
Carlton, the first lefthander to
get a starting role in this series,

came within one strikeout of a
Cardinal club record held by the
great Dizzy Dean this year
when he fanned 16 batters in
one game. And, because he lost,
he did it in only eight innings
before going out for a pinch
hitter.

BOUT SCHEDULED
NEW YORK (UPD — Don
Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah,
agreed Thursday to fight Sandro
Mazzinghi of Italy in a 10-round
bout at Madison Square Garden
Dec. 8, with the winner in line
for a shot at the middleweight
title currently held by Emile
Griffith.
Lemaster, Menke Traded
For Sonny Jackson, Harrison
ST. LOUIS (UPD—Paul Rich
ards, who likes to take care of
his own, has found a haven in
Atlanta for two ball players he
originally signed in Houston.
Richards, who only the day
before signed his former
manager at Houston, Lum
Harris, to a similar post with
the Atlanta Braves, completed a
deal Sunday with the Astros for
shortstop Sonny Jackson and
first baseman Chuck Harrison.
In exchange for Jackson, a
strong “rookie of the year”
candidate in 1966 who tailed off
considerably this season, and
Harrison Richards parted with
southpaw pitcher Denny Le
master and shortstop Dennis
Menke.
Ironically, the man responsi
ble for signing both Menke and
Lemaster to a Braves contract,

John Mullen, did the negotiating
for Houston along with Spec
Richardson.
The four-man trade, the first
multiple - player post- season
swap, was announced during the
sixth Inning of the fourth game
of the World Series between the
St. Louis Cardinals and the
Boston Red Sox.
Jackson, who stole 49 bases in
his rookie campaign—second
only to Lou Brock in the
National League—was a major
disappointment for the Astros
this season, batting .237 with
only 22 stolen bases. Still, he
has the potential to give the
cumbersdme Braves a slick
fielding shortstop and increase
their speed.
The departure of Harrison,
who batted .243 with 20 RBl’s
and two homers, was made
possible by the blossoming of
rookie Doug Rader as a future
major league batting star.
Considered a potential 20-
game winner, the 28-year old
Lemaster was only 9-9 this year
with the Braves, compiling a
3.33 earned run average.
Tech, Georgia Face
Toughest This Week
ATLANTA (UPD — The
fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs
and 15th-ranked Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets, both unbeaten
after three games, face their
toughest challenges so far this
season this coming weekend.
Georgia, which beat South
Carolina 21-0 this past Saturday,
goes to Jackson Miss., to meet
the Mississippi Rebels while
Georgia Tech, 10-0 conqueror
of Celmson, will be in Knoxville
to play the Tennessee Vols.
Georgia, the Southeastern Con
ference leader, had little trouble
with previously unbeaten South
Carolina but didn’t get around
to scoring until early in the sec
ond period when quarterback
Kirby Moore turned in a rec
ord-setting 87-yard touchdown
run.
That run was a yard longer
than the previous record set
by Charlie Trippi against Geor
gia Tech back in 1942. It came
on a busted play, one in which
fullback Ron Jenkins missed a
handoff and Moore had to set
out on his own.
The Georgia defense, which
looks like one of the nation’s
best, held the Gamecocks to a
total of 136 yards. Bill Stanfill
and Jiggy Smaha added statue
DICKSON LEADS
GUADALAJARA, Mexico
(UPD—Bob Dickson, a Texan
who does everything in a big
way, led the United States in
regaining the America’s Cup
amateur golf title.
Dickson gained world acclaim
earlier this year when he won
the U.S. and British Amateur
championships and Sunday
paced the U.S. to its winning
total of 1414 points. Canada was
second with 11*4 points and
Mexico finished third with 10 in
the three-nation tourney.

Tigers hit on only five of 23 for
46 yards and have two passes
intercepted.

BETWEEN YOU'N'ME
Votes for Youth
In Golf, Baseball
By MURRAY OLDERMAN
NEA Sports Editor
Clmt Murchison has brought a novelty to the playing
of the national anthem in the Cotton Bowl before
Dallas Cowboy home games. Instead of a full band, lie
hired Tommy Loy, a trumpet player for the Dallas
Symphony, to do it solo. The price was three season
tickets (Tommy’s a confirmed Cowboy fan) and the
promise that if the Cowboys get official blazers, he’ll
also be fitted for one. . . .
Vince Costello, the “new” 35-year-old quarterback of
the Giant defense, as the middle linebacker, could do
for that unit what Y. A. Tittle, another salvage job in
New York, once did for the offense—if they surround
Vince with any kind of help. But 10 years with the
Browns etched a deep association for Costello. Before
leaving Cleveland, he made a pact with Paul Wiggin,
the defensive end and his old roommate, that they’d call
each other every Saturday night during the season
Paul calls one week, Vince the other. . . .
Besides saving on sandwich costs, former PGA ehamp Al
Geiberger’s tie-in with a peanut butter manufacturer has
spared him a golf expense. SHppy’s, his sponsor, supplies
him with specially engraved tees that Al totes around in all
his pockets. ...
Don January, current PGA champ, claims there are
so many good kids on the golf tour now (after all, Nick
laus is still a kid) because they have much more com
petition in their younger stages, from high school
through college, than the older pros had. “It’s straight
play for six or seven years,” he says, “so they’re old
veterans in tournament play by the time they turn pro.
But it also makes us old guys work a little harder, prac
tice a little more, try a little harder. The edge we have
on them is in tour experience.” . . .
On the same youth kick, manager Cal Ermer of the Minne
sota Twins claims that the kids in baseball are just as good
as ever, even with fewer minor leagues as training grounds.
“The cream comes to the top quicker,” he says. “A kid isn’t
buried for years, like some of the old Yankee talent....
Cornell Green, the all-pro cornerback of the Dallas
Cowboys, defies an edict prevalent on all pro teams that
all ankles must be taped. The former Utah State bas
ketball star doesn’t like his ankles fettered by adhesive
and generally ignores the rule. Becently, he has broken
down and let himself be taped for an exhibition game.
That day he sprained his ankle. . . .
Between you’n’me, they’re booming Mo Moorman
strongly for All-American honors as an offensive guard
at Texas A&M, but he’s no better than another lineman
on the same team—Rolf Krueger, who plays the other
guard and,' like Mo, doubles on defense in key situa
tions. Rolfs the younger brother of 49er tackle stalwart
Charley Krueger. .. .
Jets Win 13-12
The Chargers and the Red
Raiders battled to a scoreless
tie in the Pee Wee football lea
gue Saturday morning. The Jets
edged the Rams 13-12.
Frank Jones and Carl Imes
scored touchdowns for the Jets
and Imes scored the extra po
int.
Lyn Shockley passed to Wayne
Appling for one of the Ram sc
ores and Appling scored the oth
er.
TRIOMPHE WINNER
PARIS (UPD —Australian
Jockey Willy Pyers, who won his
first Arc de Triomphe race on
Topyo Sunday has accepted an
offer to ride the same horse in
the Washington International at
Laurel, Md., on Nov. 11.
Topyo, owned by Mrs. Leon
Volterra and trained by Mick
Bartholomew, was an 82-1
outsider when it nosed out
favored Salvo and beat Ameri
can Charles Engelhard’s Bri
tish-trained Ribocco in the Arc.
Topyo earned a purse of
1223,000.
