Braves Succumb
To Cub Homers
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) — Ron San
to’s two-run homer was the one
that actually won the game, but
the Chicago Cubs third base
man wanted to talk about team
mate Willie Smith’s gargantu
an blow.
“That was the hardest hit
ball I’ve ever seen,” Santo said
after Smith hit the first major
major league home run that
ever made it to the 52-foot high
upper deck In Atlanta Stadium.
“If you could have chopped
it into singles, it would have
assurd him of a .300 season.”
Smith and Santo hit their
home runs in the eigth inning
Tuesday night to power the
Cubs to a 3-1 victory over the
Atlanta Braves and make left
hander Ken Holtzman the ma
jor’s first 10-game winner of
the season.
The Cubs went into the eighth
trailing 1-0 as Braves right
hander Ron Reed had scattered
three singles up to that point.

I Made Two Mistakes
“Ron had them eating out of
his hand until then,” Braves
catcher Bob Tillman moaned.
“He made only two mistakes
all night—and the Cubs Jumped
on both of them.”
Smith, leading off the Inning
as a pinch batter for Holtzman,
was behind 1-2 in the count
when, according to Tillman,
‘Ron got a slip pitch up a little
higher than he intended.”
The drive hugged the first
base foul line, soared high
above the 325-foot marker at
the fence and stay-d fair to tie
the score at 1-1.
Smith, a former pitcher who
joined the Cubs last year, said
"I certainly never hit one that
hard before.”
Four in Row
An out later. Braves first
baseman Orlando Cepeda boot
ed an Al Spangler grounder;
and an out after that, Santo hit
his 10th homer of the season to
give the Cubs, the National
League’s Eastern Divisoin lead-
ers, their fourth straight victo
ry over the Braves, the West
ern Division leaders.
“Ron threw Santo a curve,”
said Tillman. "But, like that
pitch to Smith, It was a little
bit too high. That’s what makes
it so tough for him; he was
pitching so well and then bang,
bang.”
The two division leaders go at
it tonight.
Knuckleballer Phil Niekro
will be going after his 10th win
while Bill Hands (5-5) will pitch
for the Cubs.
Holtzman, now 10-1, gave up
five hits in seven Innings. Till
man, who had two doubles for
the night, drove in the Braves’
lone run in the second.
Tillman’s second double came
with two out in the ninth. But
reliefer Phil Regan, picking up
his sixth save, struck out pinch
batter Rico Carty to wind it up.
Johnson Was One Os Last
Braves From Milwaukee
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPl)—The Braves
should have held a brief
memorial service the other da?
when they sold pitcher Ken
Johnson to the Yankees.
The 35-year-old righthander,
who has kicked around in the
majors for more than a decade
thanks to a self-admitted as
sortment of “junk” pitches, was
the Braves mound staff’s next
to-last link with Milwaukee.
Surprising as it seems, since
the Braves are in only their
fourth season here, the only
man who pitched that last seas
on in Milwaukee in 1965 who
now pitches in Atlanta is Phil
Niekro—and Phil spent half of
the ’66 season down on the
farm.
The starting rotation when
SPORTS
/they moved South was Tony
Cloninger who is now with Cin
cinnati, Denver Lemaster and
. Wade Blasingame who are now
with Houston and Johnson.
> Up From Bullpen
Now it’s Niekro, who was
strictly a reliefer in those days;
Milt Pappas, who was acquired
from Cincinnati last year; and
George Stone, Ron Reed and
Pat Jarvis who were in the
minors then.
“This has happened to us be
fore,” said traveling secretary
Donald Davidson who has been
with the Braves since the '3os
and who is the club’s lone link
with its Boston days.
“The pattern has been a bit
different this time,” he added. ;
“Usually, as a team gets old,
the youngsters move in. We’ve
traded off a lot of comparative- 1
ly young pitchers the past few
years.”
Davidson explainad that the
Braves have put heavy empha
sis on pitchers in the player
drafts.
“We’ve probably got more
good young pitchers than any
other team oround,” he con
tinued. “It had to be Just a
matter of time before the
Stones, the Reeds and the (re
liefer Cecil) Upshaws were
ready.”
Raised Their Own
As Davidson points out, with
the exception of Pappas all of
the present Braves starters are
“home grown.”
“That’s the way it was when
we won those two champion
ships back-to-back in 1957-58,”
he said. “We got Lou Burdette
from the Yankees. But the oth
ers, Including Warren Spahn
and Bob Buhl came up through
our farm system."
The turnover has been Just
about as complete elsdwhere. In
fact, outfielders Hank Aaron,
Felipe Alou and Rico Carty are
the only players remaining
from the 25-man roster with
which the Braves made their
Dixie debut.
Drewry Pitches
No-Hitter
Jeffrey Drewry pitched a no
hitter this week in the Midget
Baseball League to lead the
Braves to a 5-0 victory over the i
Mets. He struck out 15 and|
walked one.
Tommy Brassell was the Mets’!
losing pitcher.
Randy Justice, Frederick Hol- !
mes, Zachery Shannon, Darrell i
Jester had hits for the Braves. I
In another game, the Red Sox
beat the Giants 5-4.
Clement Ector was the win
ning pitcher and Larry Fuller
was the loser.
Ector won the game with a ho
mer in the fifth.
