Hank Hammers Two
In A 6-5 Victory
NEW YORK (UPI) —Hank
Aaron boosted his career home
run total to 517 with two circuit
blows Thursday as the Atlanta
Braves built up a lead and then
hung: on for a 6-5 victory over
the New York Mets.
Aaron’s blows brought him to
within four homers of Ted Wil
liams, whose 521 ranks him
fifth on the all-time, major lea
gue homer parade.
The Braves, in winning their
11th game in the last 14 starts,
moved three full games over
San Francisco in the National
League’s Western Division. The
Giants were idle Thursday.
Atlanta begins a four - game
aeries at Montreal tonight with
Milt Pappas (2-1) facing Bill
Btoneman (3-3) in the opener.
Aaron, Sonny Jackson, with a
two- run triple and a double,
and Orlando Cepeda, with three
hits, had powered the Braves
to a 6-2 lead going into the Bth
inning. Then Pat Jarvis, the
eventual winner, gave up two
quick hits and Cecil Upshaw
rushed in to relieve him.
Upshaw was pounded for
three runs before retiring the
Mets and preserving Jarvis’s
third victory against two losses.

Longden Feels
Prince’s Better
By RAY AYRES
UPI Sports Writer
BALTIMORE. Md. (UPl>—
Trainer Johnny Longden was
certain today that Majestic
Prince, the undefeated Ken
tucky Derby winner he trains
for Frank McMahon, was better
now than at Churchill Downs
two weeks ago and that one
change of scene would not
bother the colt one bit in the
Preakness Stakes Saturday.
“The turns are a little
sharper here and the stretch is
not as long but he went around
the turn pretty good in the
workout yesterday,” said Long
den in comparing Churchill
Downs with Pimlico where
eight 3-year-olds awaited the
94th running of the classic. Nor
is the race, at 13-16 miles,
quite as long as the I*4 mile
derby.
There was confidence in the
rival camps, also, as Arts And
Letters and Top Knight awaited
another shot at Majestic
Prince. A1 Hattab, Jay Ray,

Greengrass Greene, Captain
Action and Glad’s Flame will
face the undefeated winner of
eight races for the first time.
Arts And Letters was second
in the Kentucky Derby, a neck
behind Majestic Prince.
“I thought he ran his best
race in the Derby and I look for
him to do even better in the
Preakness,” said trainer Elliott
Burch.
Top Knight was a big
disappointment in the Kentucky
Derby. The winner of the
Flamingo Stakes and the
Florida Derby was second
choice. But after taking the
lead after six furlongs, he fell
apart and finished fifth.
Trainer Ray Metcalf expects
Top Knight to give a much
better account of himself this
time.

MIAMI SIGNS PLAYERS

McNally Blanks
Minnesota, 5-0
By JOE CARNICELLI
UPI Sports Writer
Two years ago, Dave McNal
ly’s career was nearly ended
because of a sore arm. Today
he’s one of baseball’s premier
left-handers.
He showed why Thursday
night as he pitched 8 1-3 Innings
of no-hit ball and wound up
allowing only one hit—Cesar
Tovar’s line single over short
stop—in hurling the Baltimore
Orioles to a 5-0 victory over the
Minnesota Twins.
McNally, one of the pitching
stars in Baltimore’s four-game
sweep of the Los Angeles
Dodgers in the 1966 World
Series, sustained an arm injury
the following season. His record
dipped from 11-6 In 1966 to 7-7
and he spent more than three
weeks on the disabled list.
After a number of physicians
failed to provide a remedy for
his ailing arm, veteran trainer
Eddie Weidner suggested a
stretching machine. It proved
to be the answer as McNally
rebounded with a 22-10 mark
last season to win American
League Comeback Player of the
Year honors.
Elsewhere In League
Elsewhere in the American
League, Detroit edged Chicago,
2-1, in 10 innings and Kansas
City downed Cleveland, 5-2. In
National League action, Atlanta
nipped New York, 6-5, and
Philadelphia blasted Cincinnati,
7-0.
Andy Etchebarren, McNally’s
batterymate, gave the Orioles a
2-0 lead in the second inning
when he followed singles by
Boog Powell and Dave Johnson
with a triple. Powell drove in
two more runs with a single
and a sacrifice fly and Merv
Rettenmund singled for the
other Orioles’ run.
Ed Kirkpatrick drove in four
runs with his second homer of
the season—a three-run blast in
the fifth inning—and a sacrifice
fly as Kansas City snapped a
four-game losing streak with its
victory over the Indians.
Kirkpatrick hit his homer off

Dick McAuliffe led off the
10th inning with his fifth homer
of the season to lift Detroit
over Chicago. McAuliffe’s ho
mer, off Bob Locker, helped
Pat Dobson record his first
victory of the season.
Two-Run Triple
Sonny Jackson’s two- run
triple capped a three-run
second Inning outburst and
Hank Aaron slammed two
home runs—the 516th and 517th
of his career—to power the
Braves over the Mets.
Orlando Cepeda singled and
pitcher Don Cardwell threw
away Tito Francona’s potential
double play grounder. Clete
Boyer drove in one run with a
single before Jackson tripled to
put the Braves ahead 3-1.
Aaron finished with nine total
bases for the day and 5,061 for
his career, surpassing Lou
Gehrig’s 5,059 for sixth place on
the all-time list.
Richie Allen had four hits,
including a tape-measure ho
mer, and Deron Johnson drove
