Fan trouble
CLEVELAND, o.—Brewers catcher Darell Perter is restrained by teammates after he
went into stands to silence hecklers. Incident occurred in second game of twi-nlghter.
Teams split the double-header. (UPI)
Dodgers beat Braves
to get little closer
LOS ANGELES (UPI) -
“Only four more to go,” said a
happy Bill Buckner.
Four was the Ix>s Angeles
Dodgers’ magic number today
with the Cincinnati Reds five
back and eight left for each
club.
The Dodgers all but buried
the idle Reds Monday night by
shading the Atlanta Braves 4-3
as Don Sutton notched his
eighth win in a row and
incredible Mike Marshall came
out of the bullpen for his 101st
relief appearance.
But Buckner overshadowed
both of Los Angeles’ high
priced pitchers, collecting four
hits in five trips to raise his
batting average to .319 and
robbing Dusty Baker of a home
run with a sensational catch in
the fourth inning.
“There’s no question in my
mind that Bill Buckner should
get some votes for MVP in the
National League,” praised Sut
ton, now 18-9 after earning his
12th triumph in 13 decisions
since July 25. “He probably
won’t win it because he hasn’t
had a big buildup this season.
But if he doesn’t get some
votes, I’ll go out and buy him
an MVP trophy.”
Buckner had a double and
three singles. His fourth hit, an
infield single, brought in Sutton
to put Los Angeles in front 4-0.
With two out in the Atlanta
fourth. Baker hit a ball that
was over the leftfield fence
when Buckner caught it.
“Yeah, I was over the fence
when I got the ball,” he said.
“I leaped as high as I could
and I timed it right. It turned
out to be pretty important.”

The Dodgers finished with 15
hits off four Atlanta pitchers
and Sutton contributed a run
scoring single and a run
producing double.
“I’m not a good hitter,”
smiled Sutton, “but I do make
contact and any time you make
contact there’s always a chance
you can get a base hit.”
Sutton took a two-hitter and a
4-0 lead into the eight inning.
With one out, the Braves
chased him with four consecu
tive hits including a triple by
Ralph Garr for one run and a
two-run homer by Rowland
Office. For the 80th time this
Flames not
‘expansion’
ATLANTA (UPI) - It is a
measurement of the success of
the Atlanta Flames that two
years after creation, nobody
talks about them as an expan
sion franchise.
They are a hard - skating,
hard - hitting hockey team cap
able of knocking off anyone in
the league. Atlanta fans now are
starting to talk brashly of the
Stanley Cup.
But it won’t be this year. At
lanta will be fortunate to play
.500 hockey this season — good
for a three - year -old expan
sion franchise but not the kind
of hockey that wins Stanley Cup
championships.
The Flames did get in the
playoffs last season —a major
accomplishment for coach Ber
nie Geoffrion and General Man
ager Cliff Fletcher. After just
two seasons, Atlanta finished
with more points than such
soundand established franchises
as St. Louis, Minnesota and
Detroit.
In regular season play At
lanta edged Montreal, three
games to two; edged Boston
three games to two and tied
year, Marshall finished up. He
was credited with his 21st save.
He gave up a two-out single
to Johnny Oates in the ninth
but got Henry Aaron to fly out
to center to end the game.
“You don’t discuss that,” the
relief ace snapped when asked
to name the pitch he got Aaron
out with. “How to pitch to a
superstar is something you
keep to yourself.”
Marshall then said he didn’t
want to discuss the subject any
more and walked away.
The Dodgers, winners of four
of their last five, send Andy
Messersmith, 19-6, against Phil
Niekro, 18-12, tonight.
Philadelphia, with two wins, two
losses and two ties. When it
counted most, however, in
Stanley Cup play, the Flyers
ousted the Flames in four
straight games.
Going into the new season, the
Flames can logically expect an
improvement on offense but the
question mark is on defense.
No team in the league has
more promising young forwards
than the Flames. Jacques
Richard, a flop in his rookie
year, came on strong in the
second half of last season to
score 27 goals, Tom Lysiak,
runner - up for rookie of the
year honors and the leading
rookie scorer in the NHL, also
led the Flames in scoring with
19 goals and 45 assists for 54
points. He was at his best when
the competition was toughest,
scoring four goals and four
assists against Philadelphia.
Curt Bennett, who scored 41
points last season although
hampered much of the year by
injuries, is coming into his
prime at 26.

Hrabosky, who won Sunday’s
game for the Cardinals, wasn’t
even expected to make the club
in the spring and Rooker, who
came through with a splendid
effort Monday night when the
Pirates defeated St. Louis, 1-0,
in 10 innings, was regarded as
the ninth pitcher on the
Pittsburgh staff despite his
surprisingly effective pitching
in 1973.
A well-traveled lefty acquired
from Kansas City after the 1972
season, Rooker allowed eight
hits in nine innings Monday
night and received credit for
his 14th win with the 10th
inning relief help of Dave
Giusti.
The Pirates, now a half game
behind the Cardinals, won the
game when Richie Hebner
singled home pinch-runner Mig
uel Dilone in the 10th, thereby
handing Lynn McGlothen his
11th loss against 16 victories.
Eagles kick
Cowboys
PHILADELPHIA (UPI) -
Kicker Tom Dempsey stood on
the sideline of Veterans Stadi
um Monday night chanting,
“Missit! Missit! Missit!”
Dempsey had just kicked a
45-yard field goal with 25
seconds left to play to put his
Philadelphia Eagles ahead of
the Dallas Cowboys 13-10. The
guy he was shouting at was his
buddy, Mac Percival of the
Cowboys, who was trying to tie
the game with two seconds to
go by kicking a 48-yard field
goal into a 12-mile-an-hour
cross wind.
Percival hooked his kick
short and to the left and the
Eagles’ victory in the national
ly televised game threw the
National Football Conference’s
Eastern Division into a scram
ble with their first win to tie
Dallas and Washington with 1-1
records.
In the Eagles’ case, it was
their defense that put them on
the Dallas side of the 50 on two
Dempsey field goals and scored
the only Philadelphia touch
down on a 96-yard return of a
fumble by cornerback Joe
Lavender.
Dallas quarterback Roger
Staubach completed 19-of-33
passes for 217 yards and 10
passes went to Drew Pearson
for 161 yards, only to have the
Eagle defense steal the game
away from him.
After driving the Cowboys 90
yards in the second quarter to
a three-yard touchdown burst
by rookie Doug Dennison, a
free agent from Kutztown (Pa.)

Philadelphia Eagles’ Harold Carmichael (c) loses the ball
after taking a pass from quarterback Roman Gabriel in
the first quarter at Vet Stadium. Making the tackle are
Cowboys’ Charlie Waters (41) and Cliff Harris. (UPI)
State, Staubach was moving
towards a possible two-touch
down lead in the third period.
Dennison took a handoff on his
three and fumbled as he neared
the goal line. Lavender picked
it up on a short bounce, bobbled
it momentarily and then, with
Staubach and tackle Ralph
Neely in futile pursuit, began
his 96-yard touchdown sprint up
the sideline to turn the game
around.
