the Philadelphia Phillies.
Atlanta now has won its last
six outings while the Phillies
are on a five-game skid.
Evans first home run of the
evening ruined what had been
up to that point a fine perform-
the game into extra innings.
He was advancing from first
to second when a ball fielded
by the Daytona shortstop and
intended for first base, struck
Goodman in the temple from
“point-blank range.”
Goodman is a native of West
Plains, Mo., who played high
school ball at Bishop Byrne
High School in Memphis where
he was raised.
Montreal scout Bill Ernhart
signed him at age 17 to an
undisclosed large bonus.
In his first year of profession
al ball, 1972 for Jamestown in
the New York-Pensylvania Lea
gue, he tied the league’s all
time record for most assists by
a catcher. At age 18 he also
batted .241 in 65 games in the
league.
ance by Phils’ young pitcher
Dick Ruthven.
Ruthven had given up only one
hit going into the sixth inning,
when he was touched for singles
by Johnny Oates and Mike Lum.
He then served up the right
pitch to Evans and he parked it
in the stands for his 24th home
run of the season.
“One pitch — one mistake,”
said Phils’ manager Danny
Ozark after the game “I wish
he could have it back. Even af
ter that home run, he didn’t let
it affect him.”
Ruthven, however, lasted only
one more inning.
In the eighth, the Phils closed
the gap to 3-2 as muscular Greg
Luzinski connected for his 13th
home run of the year.
Evans came back in the top of
the ninth inning to hit his 25th
homer. He now is tied with San-
Francisco’s Bobby Bonds.
It was Evans’ night in the
spotlight again, because team
mate Hank Aaron again sat out
the game with an aching back.
“-L-never dreamed anything
like this could happen,” said
Evans.

Secretariat denied
Preakness record
BALTIMORE (UPI) — Luci
en Laurin was polite but his
downcast eyes and frown
indicated his displeasure that
Secretariat was not given the
record in the 1973 Preakness, a
mark that would have given the
super hourse a clean sweep of
speed clockings on his way to
the Triple Crown.
The Maryland Racing Com
mission conceded Tuesday that
the Meadow Stables colt “might
have run the Preakness some
what faster than record holder
Canonero II.”
But the five-member commis
sion refused to change Se
cretariat’s official time of 1:54
2-5, saying it “is bound by its
rules and regulations which
provide that the official time of
any race is that which is locked
by the official timer.”
“If they had changed the
time it would have been nice,”
said Laurin, trainer of the
horse. “But it doesn’t change
Secretariatr-he’s still a win
ner.”
The commission agreed to the
special review of the Preakness
time at the request of Mrs.
Helen Tweedy, Secretariat’s
owner. Controversy developed
when the official time for the
race was lowered from 1:55 by
track stewards due to an
electronic timer error.
In addition two dockers for
the Daily Racing Form, Frank
Robinson and Frenchy
Royals
to hold
tryouts
SARASOTA, Fla.-The
Kansas City Royals Baseball
Academy will hold a Tryout
Camp Saturday at Lakebottom
Park, Columbus, Ga., at 10 a.m.
Participants in the tryouts
should wear clothing that does
not impede body movements
and must provide their own
gloves. Players on American
Legion teams must have
written permission from their
teams to try out. The age limit
is 16-19.
Those selected for the
Academy will report to the $1.5
million campus on the southeast
edge of Sarasota, Fla., on
August 12,1973 in time for them
to marticulate at Manatee
Junior College.
During their 16 months at the
Academy, all of their expenses
will be paid including the
Manatee tuition plus medical
and hospital insurance. They
will sleep, two to a room, in a
motel-type dormitory, be fed
three diet-planned meals a day
and receive a salary.
Upon their graduation, they
.will be phased into the Royals
farm system.
The Tryout Camp will be
conducted by Bill Fischer a
member of the Royals scouting
staff.

Griffiiiites
in tourney
Jimmy Jordan and Eddie
Parker of Griffin are par
ticipating in the invitational
tennis tournament at the Cline
Tennis Center, on the Oxford
College Campus, Oxford, Ga.
The tournament started July
9. Charles Burnett, head of the
Department of Physical Educa
tion at Oxford College, is direc
tor.
Schwartz, working independent
ly in the press box, reported
1:53 2-5 clocking that would
have broke Canonero H’s 1971
record run of 1:54 even.
“I was pleased that the
commission agreed to a hearing
in such a friendly and dignified
way,” said Mrs. Tweedy. “I
felt asking for a review was not
a protest The official time was
changed once and two other
sources maintained different
times. We wanted all four
sources looked at.”
She said she was “perfectly
happy to abide by the
decision.”
A decision to lower the
winning time would have meant
the first sweep of Triple Crown
records by a single horse. As it
was, Secretariat was the first
Triple Crown winner in a
quarter century, breaking the
Kentucky Derby record in 1:59
2-5 and winning the Belmont
Stakes in 2:24.
But the commission in its
ruling said “to change the
records established by the
official timer because of later
electronic analysis of such
events would be destructive of
the integrity of all sporting
events.”
It did, however, indicate that
it might change the track’s
timing procedures. The Visu
matic timer was found in error
two days after the race when
official Pimlico docker E. T.
McLean Jr., said he timed
Secretariat in 1:54 2-5, prompt
ing the change by the stewards.
