Crown men acting like this
in the National league East.
Ron Fairly ruined Thomp
son’s no-hit bid with a single to
start the seventh and Ted
Simmons and Smith followed
with singles to snap a scoreless
tie. Sizemore’s sacrifice fly
scored Simmons with what
proved to be the winning run.
In the Atlanta seventh, Dave
May and Dusty Baker singled
with two outs for only the
second and third hits off rookie
righLhander Harry Rasmussen.
Reliever Al Hrabosky was
brought in and he walked Mike
Lum and Vic Correll to force in
a run before getting pinch-
hitter Rod Gilbreath on a long
fly to end the inning. Hrabosky
then blanked the Braves over
the last two innings to record a
club record 18th save.
Reed, traded to the Cardinals
in May after seven seasons
with the Braves, struck out six
and walked only one in
registering his 11th triumph in
20 decisions. A double by Ralph
Garr and a single by Darrell
Evans in the third accounted
for the Braves only run.
The Cardinals snapped a 1-1
tie in the fifth when Ken
Rudolph singled to right and
went to third when Dave May
slipped and fell while fielding
the ball. With the infield drawn
in, Mike Tyson hit a grounder
that hopped over shortstop Bob
Belloir’s head for a single to
drive home the go-ahead run.
Return
BALTIMORE (UPI) - The
American Hockey league’s
Baltimore Clippers will return
to Baltimore this fall if
promoter Terry Reardon can
rent the Civic Center ice.
“I have a franchise. I have
backers. I have fans. Now I
need a lease. It is all in the
hands of the Civic Center
Commission,” Reardon told a
news conference Friday.
Reardon said a two-week
season ticket drive netted 1,512
sales, but the Civic Center
Commission said two weeks ago
it would not negotiate a lease
with Reardon unless he sold
2,500 tickets by Aug. 15.

All you got to do is ask
Pele still draws even at half speed
By Murray Oiderman
The tipoft
To go with that solid gold tennis ball he has locked in a
vault ifor winning the WCT title). Arthur Ashe could
well have a gold racket. He’s in the lead for the Martini
& Rossi Player of the Year award in the mid-year voting
of an international panel of tennis experts. The gold
racket is the symbolic prize.
Q. There seems to be quite a debate whether the Pele-San Jose
Earthquake game should be moved to Oakland Coliseum and not
be held in San Jose’s Spartan Stadium, which holds only 20,000.
What do you think? Could Pele draw 50,000 in the Coliseum? —
Hans Brenner.
Probably, although the Brazilian star of the New York Cosmos
has been operating at only half speed because of a leg injury? I
think the San Jose management, which has lured the biggest
crowds in the country to its soccer matches, is doing the smart
thing in sacrificing a chance at a bigger gate to show its loyalty to
the home folks.
_ QM
Q. In the past eight years, who has been better in the clutch,
Joe Morgan, the star second baseman of the Cincinnati Reds, or
Rod Carew of the Minnesota Twins? — Dane Norton.
Clutch hitting is difficult to measure precisely. There are
variables such as position in the hitting order and quality of sup
porting cast ito put men on base). But since both Joe and Rod
have been generally in the No. 2 slot, though they’ve been shifted
to the third position this season, there is one significant gauge —
runs batted in. Over their last eight full seasons (Morgan missed
most of '6B with an injury). the Cincy second-sacker has batted in
63 more runs than Carew (457 to 393). He gets my nod, though
Rod has led the AL in batting four of those years.
Q. What is your honest opinion of Bill North of the world cham
pion A’s? Will he continue to be their centerfielder? I have seen
many teenage players that make fewer mental mistakes and
have much better attitudes. On top of all this, he has shown a

Cook not quitting
football at ’Banta
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (UPI) —
teroy Cook, Alabama’s star
defensive end, says he is not
quitting the team and is
embarrased over an erroneous
report that he called Coach
Bear Bryant a liar.
“This is really embarassing
to me,” Cook, one of six
Crimson Tide players placed on
probation by Bryant, said
Friday about a story by Atlanta
Journal sportswriter David
Davidson.
Davidson quoted Cook as
saying, “Coach Bryant told us
he wasn’t going to publicize this
thing (the probation). My phone
hasn’t stopped ringing. Relati
ves, friends and sports writers
have been calling me all day.
“He lied to us,” Cook said in
the article. “I don”t think the

definite lack of hustle. — George Speer.
Easy. George. The last guy who accused Billy of lack of hustle
(teammate Reggie Jackson) got slugged. So I'm not getting into
that hassle. Guys who watch the A s daily tell me that North has
been making some physical mistakes this season. But there's a
general feeling that North may be put on the trading block even
tually. not for his own deficiencies, but because Centerfield
seems to be the best position for Oakland’s soph whiz. Claudell
Washington, which would make North excess baggage.
Q. I have been a Cardinal and Lou Brock fan for a long time.
What do you think of Lou’s chances of going for and breaking Ty
Cobb’s all-time career record for stolen bases, 892? — Alan Eby.
Technically, Billy Hamilton, a speedster before the turn of the
century with the Phils and Braves, holds the base-pilfering mark
at 937. Lou Brock came into this season trailing Cobb by 139
thefts. A couple of seasons like '74. and he’d be a cinch to pass
him. But Lou’s 36 now and got to start acting his age. If he can
last through the '77 season without major injury. I predict he'll
pass Cobb.
Q. How do you determine who is the losing and winning pitcher
in a ball game? — Stephanie Dyer.
Should be a simple answer, but Section 10.19 of the Official
Baseball Rules devotes 69 full lines of type to the subject Briefly,
a starting pitcher must work five innings before he can be
credited with a win. if his team is ahead and stays ahead. A relief
pitcher gets the win if he's the pitcher of record when his team
takes the lead and keeps it. A pitcher, either starting or relief,
gets the loss if he is replaced when his team is behind (or falls
behind because of runs charged to him) and never catches up.
There are a lot of other nuances that pertain, too
Parting shot:
George Allen admits in private he's getting a little
tired of trying to reconstruct souls, which is why he
couldn't care less about what happens to Duane
Thomas. George has enough problem children remain
ing on his Redskin roster.

same of the man after that.”
In a statement issued Friday
Cook said he had been upset
when talking to Davidson and
“did say a couple of things I
shouldn’t have said. But the
biggest thing is that I was
quoted as saying coach lied to
us.
“I did not say that," he said.

“I feel some of our conversa
tion (his and Davidson’s) was
twisted and written out of
context. He didn’t write it like I
said it.
‘‘All I want to do is get my
foot well, do the things Coach
Bryant has asked us to do and
play football,” said Cook,
recovering from foot surgery.
