Chicago, which entered the dou- bleheader one-half game behind first-place Minnesota, is now 1 2 games out. Boston and Detroit are tied for second, one game behind the Twins. Minnesota lost to California 5-1 yesterday and the Red Sox were blanked by Cleveland 6-0. The Tigers were idle.

Graff No dungeon is truly execrable. -Cynic My phone rings at four in the morning and some demented quad- die laughs and hangs up. I get a letter that says "if you don't want to write sports please at least save your crappy surrealism for your psychoanalyst." My friends tell me I'm crazy and the coaches down at the athletic building walk by me and shake their heads in mocking disgust. Even my contemporaries here at 420 Maynard Street are beginning to resent the space that my twice weekly "sports" column is taking up on the pages. Said one "we might as well run Bertrand Russell, Lar Daley and a few others and forget sports altogether." Well fans, I offer my humbly apologetic explanation. Basically i the aetiology of my unsportsmanlike conduct can be summed up in one sentence. I don't write sports because I don't know anything about it. I used to. I really did. I can name the first, last and middle names of every player on the Chicago White Sox from 1955-60. When I was in high school, I knew every player on every basketball team in the league my school was in. Once I even got Mrs. Gerry Staley's autograph and that's the absolute truth. Now, today, 1967, September, October ... I just can't hack it. There's too much. I'm majoring in psychology carrying 16 hours, trying to find a grad school of clinical psych. that'll take me, dating a girl, socializing with my friends, reading the New York Times and Harpers . . . and I'm supposed to become an expert enough to write 20 inches a week on Michigan's defensive forma- tions or Milt Plum's jock strap? In point of fact there are so many professional sports leagues nowadays that I don't even know the names of half of them, let alone Individual players. College football?-Oh, just five or six hundred teams with 22 players essentially starting for each of them. To be an expert simply takes more time than I have. Sorry folks you'll just have to read Bob Klivais or Joe Falls if you want to find out what's going on in our nation's ball yards and locker rooms. I'd like to exalt some trivia for you, but I feel almost obligated not to. I'll only have this column one year and since I'm not going into jouralism this may be my first, last, and only chance to express myself for a newspaper audience. So I want to talk about some things that don't necessarily deal with sports. Eventualy I'll get around to some sports pieces, I'm sure. I'd like to do a column on former Michigan basketball star Oliver Darden, now playing pro basketball in the new league. I am pretty much of an authority, I humbly admit, on many facets of Big Ten basketball and Wolverine teams of the past three years and I'll be having something to say about that. So if you're really a sports buff, look over the first sentence or two of the various tomes that appear under my name and once in a while they'll be some- thing there that'll interest you. But most of the time I'm going to be deep baby. deep. And you'll have to think through me not float. I write about meaningful important stuff and that's all there is to it. Deep stuff. Like Linda Bird Johnson. 1 ________ _____________________________ single. Wilbur Wood relieved Horlen and Rick Monday was safe on Don Buford's fielding error of his grounder to second. Gosger singled, but Webster was out at the plate, Gosger moving to sec- ond on the throw and Monday to third. Monday then scored on a passed ball. The White Sox didn't get a hit until Ron Hansen singled in the fifth. Buford singled in the sixth and Tom McCrawdoubled inkthe eighth. Hunter gave up two walks. In the opener, the White Sox had the same kind of trouble get- ting on base, managing just three runners until the ninth when they scored two runs. Chuck Dobson, 10-10, held them to two hits until the final inning when he made way for reliever Lew Krausse after Tommie Agee tripled and McCraw walked. Krausse gave up two walks, forc- ing in a run, and Rocky Colavito singled, scoring another. The defeat meant that the White Sox, who have three games left, must win them allto gain a tie. Chicago cannot win the pen- nant without a playoff. * * * Twins Dented MINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAUL - California threw a major dent in- to Minnesota's pennant hopes yes- terday, lashing into 20-game win- ner Dean Chance for four runs in the fourth inning to whip the Twins 5-1. The Twins' second loss in three games to California cut Minneso- ta's American League lead to a one-half game over the Chicago White Sox, who played a twi- night doubleheader at Kansas City. Former Minnesotan Don Minch- er led the assault on Chance, who was starting with only two days' rest after beating the New York Yankees Sunday for his 20th vic- tory. Mincher slammed his 22nd home run into the right-center bullpen leading off the fourth inning. The Angels added another run in the eighth when Hall, another ex- Twin, tripled and scored on Jim Merritt's wild pitch. Rookie Rickey Clark, 12-11, checked the Twins on four hits until the seventh inning when pinch hitters Frank Kostro and Rich Reese both singled with two out. M innie Rojas relieved Clark and gave up a run-scoring single to Cesar Tovar before getting Har- mon Killebrew on a fly to short center, retiring the side. Boston Spoiled BOSTON - Cleveland Indians turned spoilers behind the five- hit pitching of three hurlers and handed Boston's dimming pennant hopes another shattering jolt in defeating the Red Sox 6-0 yester- day for a sweep of a two-game series.
