Braves Increase Lead
With 3 Roundtrippers
By FRANK DE GEOLGES
EPI Sports Writer
Hank Aaron will need an
assist from Father Time to
catch Willie Mays in the all
time home run derby.
At least that’s what the
slender 35 - year -old Atlanta
Brave right fielder said after
he edged closer to Wondrous
Willie with the 515th homer of
his career in a 4-3 Atlanta
victory over the New York
Mets.
In other NL action, Chicago
thrashed San Diego 19-0,
Houston whacked Montreal, 10-
3, Cincinnati beat Philadelphia,
6-4, and San Francisco whipped
Pittsburgh, 11-8. Los Angeles at
St. Louis was postponed be
cause of rain.
In American League games,
Detroit topped Chicago, 3-1,
Cleveland lashed Kansas City,
8-6, Minnesota beat Baltimore,
4-2, *Oakland squeaked past
Boston, 5-4, Washington
trimmed California, 2-1, and
Seattle dealt New York a 5-3
defeat.
Aaron cracked his homer—
the fifth of the season—with no
one aboard in the first, and
Orlando Cepeda backed him up
with a homer in the fourth,
Orlando's eighth of the year.
Bob Tillman also hit a homer—
a two-run shot —in the fourth to
complete Atlanta’s scoring.
Tommie Agee slammed a
two-run homer for the Mets in
the sixth and New York scored
its final run on a single by Art
Shamsky in the ninth.
Ernie Banks drove in seven
runs with two homers and a
double to lead Chicago to its
laughter over the Padres and
give Dick Selma his first
victory as a Cub. Chicago’s 19
Foyt Candidate
For 170’ Club
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., (UPI)
—Mario Andretti, who Tues
day set an unofficial speed
record at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway for piston
driven racers, may have to
make room today for one or
two other drivers in the 170-
niiles-per-hour club.
A. J. Foyt, Houston, Tex., a
three-time winner of the
Indianapolis “500” appeared to
be the top candidate for the 170
m.p.h. club, having flirted with
that mark twice during practice
this month for the Memorial
Day classic.
Andretti, from Nazareth, Pa.,
turned a lap Tuesday at 171.494
m.p h., the fastest ever record
ed at Indianapolis by a piston
driven car. He hit 170.197
Monday in his backup racer,
but Tuesday was working out in
his No. 1 machine, a four-wheel
drive turbocharged Ford.
However, Foyt Tuesday was
clocked at 169.173, which was a
shade slower than the 169.237
he turned a week go. That had
stood as the fastest speed since
the track opened May 1 until
Andretti got going Monday.
Other quick laps Tuesday
included a 168.287 by Roger
McClusky, Tucson, Arizona;
167.691 by Wally Dallenbach,
East Brunswick, N.J., and
167.598 by Arnie Knepper,
Belleville, Hl.
Lee Roy
Top Winner
In Nascar
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(UPI) —Lee Roy Yarbrough,
who shuns the smaller races
and concentrates on the ones
with the fat purses, is the top
money-winner on the NASCAR
circuit.
Yarbrough’s win last Sunday
in the Rebel 400 at Darlington,
S. C., pushed his earnings this
year to $64,715.
Despite his impressive win
nings, Yarbrough, of Columbia,
S. C., Is 18th in the NASCAR
point standings —mainly be
cause he shuns the smaller
races.
Point leader David Pearson
Is second in winnings with $61,-
220 and is followed by Richard
Petty with $47,330 and Cale
Yarborough with $40,010.

and drove in four runs and Don
Young belted a three-run homer
in the seventh. Selma gave up
only three hits and struck out
10 as he evened his record at 3-
3.
Lee May’s two-run homer in
the eighth gave the Red the
winning margin over Philadel
phia. Tony Perez earned
Cincinnati its first three runs
with his eighth homer—a two
run shot in the sixth and a
fourth inning RBI single.
Philadelphia scored three in the
seventh on a run-producing
double by Richie Allen and a
two-run homer by Johnny
Callison.
Bobby Bonds and Dick Dietz
cracked two-run singles to
spark an eight-run outburst in
the fourth inning that carried
the Giants past the Pirates.
Bonds’ hit off Bruce Dal Canton
put the Giants in front, 5-4, and
