Blue’s statistics
prove he’s great
By NEIL HERSHBERG
UPI Sports Writer
If statistics are a valid
yardstick by which to compare
pitchers, then recent sugges
tions that Vida Blue is another
Sandy Koufax are more than
idle speculation.
Blue, Oakland’s sensational
young southpaw pitcher, al
lowed only four hits in winning
his 12th game of the season
Sunday as the Oakland Athle
tics routed the Washington
Senators, 8-1.
Blue, who has lost only two
games, struck out seven and
walked two in avenging his 8-0
opening-day loss to the Sena
tors.
With a third of the baseball
Allison
sets
record
DOVER, Del. (UPI)-Bobby
Allison braving heat over 90
raced to a record victory Sun
day in the first NASCAR 500
mile Grand National to be held
outside the Deep South.
Allison’s winning time was
123.119 m.p.h. in his 1969
Holman-Moody.
Os the 40 starters, 18 finished
tiie four hour and five minute
race. There were no caution
flags displayed during the race.
Extreme heat forced some
drivers to switch off during the
race.
Os the top five finishers, only
Allison was driving his own car
at the final lap. Temperatures
in the cars themselves were re
corded at as high as 135 de
grees.
Finishing second was Freddy
Lorenzen in an STOP Plymouth
driven by Bobby Isaac; third
was Richard Petty’s Plymouth
driven by Buddy Baker; fourth
was Bobby Isaac’s Dodge driv
en by Pete Hamilton, and fifth
was an independent entry driv
en by Gene C. Spencer.

season gone, the hard-throwing
Blue has given up an average
of 5.3 hits per game as he
continues to amaze American
League batters with his blazing
fastball. Koufax, who in 1965
enjoyed his best season in
posting 25 victories with 382
strikeouts, allowed 5.8 hits per
game that year. Bob Gibson,
another of baseball’s all-time
great pitchers, also allowed an
average of 5.8 hits per game in
his best season, 1968, when he
won 22 games and had a 1.12
earned run average.
Only once did Blue allow
more than six hits in any one
game, that being on May 28
when he suffered his only other
loss of the season at the hands
of Boston.
Blue isn’t going out on a limb
by making any guesses as to
how many games he’ll win this
year. “I’d like to win 20 but I’m
not going to make any
predictions,” said the 21-year
old lefthander.
The Senators had knocked
Blue out in the third inning on
opening day to win their first
home opener in eight years.
But revenge was sweet for
Blue, as he beat the Senators
and their ace pitcher, Denny
McLain, for his 12th win, tops
in the majors. He now has a 14-
3 lifetime record in the majors
and has never been beaten
twice by the same club.
In other American League
action, California defeated Bos
ton, 5-2, Baltimore edged
Milwaukee, 4-3, Minnesota
downed Cleveland, 4-3, New
York defeated Kansas City, 5-2,
and Chicago whipped Detroit, 8-
2 in the first game of a
doubleheader with the second
game being postponed because
of rain.

Sayers Answers Pro Grid Critics
NEW YORK—(NEA)—The
New York pro football writ
ers had invited Gale Sayers
back this year to present the
George S. Halas award to
Tom Dempsey as the most
courageous athlete in the
game.
One year ago last May,
Sayers had himself received
that award. He had come
back from a wracking knee
injury to lead the NFL in
rushing with over 1,000
yards. But Sayers refused to
keep the trophy.
Instead, he decided to give
it to Brian Piccolo, his road
roommate and the second
string running back to
Sayers on the Chicago Bears.
"Brian has the heart of a
giant," said Sayers then, to
a hushed audience, "and
that rare form of courage
allows him to kid himself
and his opponent, cancer.
He has the mental attitude
that makes me proud to
have a friend who spells out
the word courage twenty
four hours a day every day
of his life.”
Sayers concluded by say
ing, "You flatter me by giv

dies
of cancer
HOUSTON (UPI) - Freddie
Steinmark, a defensive back on
the 1969 National Champion
Texas Longhorn Football Team
who became a national symbol
of courage and determination in
his battle against cancer, died
Sunday at 11 p.m. He was 22.
Steinmark died 47 days after
entering the M.D. Anderson
Hospital and Tumor Institute,
the hospital where his cance
rous left leg was amputated
Dec. 12, 1969.
The amputation followed less
tlian a week after Steinmark
had played before President
Nixon and a national television
audience in Texas’ 15-14 victory
over Arkansas, the victory
which clinched the Longhorns’
national title that season.

cept it for Brian Piccolo.
Brian Piccolo is the man of
courage who should receive
the George S. Halas award.
It is mine tonight, it is Brian
Piccolo’s tomorrow. . . I
love Brian Piccolo and I’d
like all of you to love him,
too. Tonight, when you hit
your knees, please ask God
to love him. ...”
Brian Piccolo died three
weeks later, on June 16.
Last season, Sayers again
injured his knee. He has had
an operation on it and is
again hopeful of returning to
past excellence. Following
are his recent remarks upon
presenting the Halas award
to Dempsey, field-goal kicker
of the New Orleans Saints,
who was born with a de
formed right (kicking) foot
and deformed right hand:
"Gentlemen—Good Even

"It is nice to be back—and
just in case you are wonder

back this fall.
“Football is my life. In
recent months I have had
considerable concern, which
I am sure all of you share,
about some of the astounding
statements of certain profes
sional football players
“Professional football for
the most part has provided
opportunities unlimited for
those men who have suffi
cient talent and a desire to
participate.
“Tonight I will not give
credence to those people who
see fit to denigrate the game
of football. I turn my back
on them and I would suggest
you do the same. I would
prefer to keep my thoughts
and words aimed at the
stars.

very kind words to say to
me. Coach Lombardi isn’t
here tonight. Tonight he is
with Brian. Brian once told
me that he never wanted to
be traded but that if he were
—he wanted to be with Lom
bardi.
“Coach Lombardi’s words
were not always kind and not
always private. Lombardi
would have had no time for
the malcontents who deem it
their privilege to attempt to
destroy the game of football.
But he would have been the
first to jump to his feet to
cheer Tom Dempsey’s 63-
yard boot. Unless, of course,
Tom had beaten Lombardi
with it.
“Lombardi believed that
football symbolized the attri
butes of America—stamina,
courage, teamwork, self
denial, sacrifice, Spartanism,
selflessness and respect for
authority. He once said, ‘The
time has come to cheer for
the achiever, the doer, the
one who recognizes a prob
lem and tries to do some
thing about it. It is time we
look up to the winner and
stand up and cheer for the
winner.” Tom Dempsey is a
winner.
"The George S. Halas
award is for courage. Coach
Lombardi never failed to
cheer a player who had cour
age and how he would cheer
tonight if he could be here
to see Tom Dempsey receive
the award for courage.
"Last year I presented this
award with love—tonight I
present the George S. Halas
award for cou r a g e—with
great respect and admira
tion to—Tom Dempsey.”
With eyes moist, Dempsey
accepted the award, saying:
