Lemon glad Lyle
stayed on bench
By GREG GALLO
jupi Sports Writer
Luckily for Manager Bob
Lemon and his Kansas City
Royals, New York Yankees
Manager Ralph Houk decided
to give Sparky Lyle a second
straight day of rest Tuesday
night. He called on another
lefty—Rob Gardner—in the
ninth inning to try and protect
a 6-4 lead. But Gardner is no
Lyle and the Royals took the
game, 7-6.
The Royals had taken a 4-0
lead in the first inning, but the
Yankees fought to tie the game
in the seventh and finally went
ahead in the ninth. With
runners on second and third on
one out, Gardner gave up a
two-run single to Steve Hovley
and the game was tied, 6-6.
Richie Scheinblum then sacri
ficed Hovley to second and
Gardner gave up a game
winning single to Lou Piniella.
“Every time I saw a left
hander I thought it was him
(Lyle),” said Lemon. “Seeing
him wouldn’t have surprised
me but knowing Ralph (Houk),
this might help them from here
on.”

Diego defeated St. Louis, 7-1,
San Francisco stopped Chicago,
7-5, and Ixis Angeles downed
Pittsburgh, 8-6.
Dick Allen used his speed on
the bases to set up the winning
run in the White Sox’ victory
over the Brewers. The victory
moved Chicago to within a
game of first-place Oakland in
the West.
After Mike Andrews homered
for Chicago in the fourth
inning, Allen walked. Then loser
Tom Parsons apparently had
Allen picked off but the White
Sox’ slugger took off for second
and slid in safely. When the
throw from first baseman
George Scott went wild, Allen
went to third. He scored on a
single by Rick Reichardt.
Rookie John Curtis hurled a
three-hitter and Reggie Smith
slammed two home runs to
pace the Red Sox over the
Rangers. Luis Aparicio singled
Bulldogs to begin
practice Aug. 25
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) - Fall
football practice sessions at the
University of Georgia begin
Aug. 25, Coach Vince Dooley
said Tuesday.
Actual drills won’t start until
Aug. 28 but varsity players are
scheduled to show up on the
preceding Friday and pose for
pictures on Aug. 26.
Freshmen team members are
to show up Aug. 27.
Dooley announced that tail-
in the ninth for the Red Sox for
his 2,500th career hit, making
the little shortstop only the 47th
player in major league history
to accomplish that feat.
A two-out single by Frank
Duffy in the bottom of the 10th
inning gave the Indians a come
from-behind victory over the
Angels. California had taken
the lead in the top of the inning
on Bob Oliver’s run-scoring
single, but Duffy lined a single
off reliever Steve Barber to
score Ray Fosse from third
base with the winning run.
Run-scoring singles by Graig
Nettles and Rod Crew drove in
runs in the 13th inning to
provide the Twins with their
victory over the slumping
Tigers. The loss, Detroit’s sixth
in its last seven games,
dropped the Tigers 1% games
behind the idle Baltimore
Orioles in the East.

ville, S. C., has been signed to

Yankee
Stadium
due uplifting
NEW YORK (UPl)—The
House That Ruth Built 49
seasons ago is finally changing
with the times.
Yankee Stadium will contain
all the comforts of modern
living in a major face-lifting
process to be completed in 1976
under the new modernization
process unfolded by New York’s
Mayor John Lindsay Tuesday.
The timetable for moder
nization at the Stadium calls for
renovation to begin at the end of
the 1973 baseball season. The
Yankees will play in Shea
Stadium during the 1974 and
1975 seasons and return to the
modernized Yankee Stadium
for the start of the 1976 season.
“This is the first step in
renovating Yankee Stadium and
making ‘The House That Ruth
Built’ an even greater attrac
tion for present and future
generations of New Yorkers,”
said Mayor Lindsay.
“This administration regards
the modernization of Yankee
Stadium and the retention of
the Yankees as vital to the
continued strengthening of our
city’s recreational, economic
and cultural base,” the Mayor
continued.
The major goal of the new
design was to achieve an
unobstructed view of the
playing field from every
spectator seat.
