Brock's fourth single, opening the seventh, finally started the National League champs on the way to the tie-breaking run. The left outfielder, who led the league with 52 stolen bases, just barely beat Russ Gibsons' throw into second for a stolen base on Santiago's first pitch to Curt Flood. When Flood grounded out to first baseman George Scott, Brock sped to third. Roger Mars, the ex-New York Yankee who had driven in the first run with an infield out, did it again when he happed sharply at second base- man Jerry Adair. Adair looked futilely "at Brock nearing home plate and threw out Maris. It was the same combination that produced the first Cardinal run in the third when Broe; lined up his second single to cen- ter, romped to third on flood's double to the left field'corner and scored when Maris bounced out to first baseman Scott. From Out of the Past Gibson, out of action with a broken right leg from July 15 to Sept. 6, came throligh with another gilt-edged performance as he had done in earning the star role in 1964 against the Yan- kees.I The ex-Harlem Globetrotter basketball player held Carl Yas- trzemski, the man who has car- ried the Red -Sox on his back, without a hit in four trips and struck out two men in each of the first, second, third and fifth innings. Rico Petrocelli was his strike- out victim three straight times. Although Yastrezemski went hitless, the Red Sox's candidate for the most'valuable player hon- ors did himself proud in left field with his fine defensive plays. Anti-Missile Yaz Yaz threw out Julian 'Javier, trying to score from second on Brock's single in the fourth with, a perfect peg to Russ Gibson. In the fifth inning he made a leaping one-handed stab of Flood's hard smash for a spec- tacular out of what would have been a sure double and a possible triple. Ironically, the two big hitters failed to hit. In addition to Yas- trzemski, Orlando Cepeda, the Cards' MVP candiate went hit- less. He never hit the ball out of the infield. Cepeda rapped into a ninning- ending double play, fouled out, popped up and then fanned. Santiago and Houdini The first Series game played at Fenway Park since 1946 pro- vided plenty of thrills for the standing room crowd of 34,796 as Santiago made more escapes than a Houdini handcuffed in a trunk at the bottom of the bay. Santiago had men on first and second with one out in the first, getting out of it on Cepeda's double play., St. Louis had the bases loaded in the second with one out when Bob Gibson slapped into a double play. There were men on second and third with nobody out in the third but Santiago got out of it with only one run. In fact, the Cards had a hit in every inning during Santiago's * * Brock: Finds Holes in Red Sox BOB GIBSON He had used Norm- Siebern as a pinch hitter for Russ Gibson in the seventh but he was still at the plate when Reggis Smith was out stealing. Williams sent .Siebern to right field in place of Ken Harrelson and brought in Elston Howard to catch. S party' Kidnapped Forty pounds of MSU football tradition has been lifted from the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house in East Lansing. "Sparty," a large fiberglass football headpiece which is paraded in front of the stands at each Michigan State game, was reported missing Monday morning at breakfast. Wisconsin, MSU's opponent this Saturday, and Michigan are the two prime suspects. A Daily investigation revealed that the head is in Ann Arbor. However, the Daily investigators hadn't returned yet early this morning and neither had the headpiece. , ...!. ...... . ..:.: . ...........":".;". : .; ...........; ........ * * * By The Associated Press BOSTON-What makes Lou Brock run? Flaws. "All pitchers have flaws," Brock said yesterday after he lashed a record-tying four hits, stole two bases and scored both runs in St. Louis' 2-1 victory over Boston in the opener of the 1967 World Series, "Pitchers' flaws fall into three categories. You take just one look at a pitcher and you can tell what his flaw is. Some pitchers have flaws in their shoulders, some in their hips and some in their feet. "It doesn't matter who the pitcher is or whether you've seen him before or not." Brock never had seen, Jose Santiago, the Boston pitcher. Yet the first time the Cardinal left fielder came to bat, he singled and stole second on Santiago's first pitch to the next batter. "He had a flaw," the 28-year-old speedster explained. "I spotted it right away." Brock stood on a chair in front of his locker, a bottle of orange pop in his right hand and a towel in his left hand. He periodically wiped away the sweat that poured from his face and neck. Occasionally a broad grin peeked through the sweat. In the previous two and a half hours, Brock had rapped singles to left field, center field, left-center and right. He raced to third on Flood's double in the third inning, then scored on Roger Maris' ground out. In the seventh inning, with the game tied 1-1, he singled, stole second, moved to third on a ground out and scored again on another Maris grounder. The second Maris grounder came with the infield in, but as it turned out second baseman Jerry Adair didn't have a chance for Brock at the plate and had to throw to first. "Even if the ball had been hit right at him (Adair had "I was cheating on the play. When a left-handed hitter to dive to his left), I would have gone home," Brock said. is up, you can cheat a little. If the ball is hit to the right side, except to the pitcher, it's going to take a heck of a - throw to get the runner. Actually I was halfway to the plate when Maris hit the ball." 'Brock's four hits tied a Series record held by many, but his two steals fell one short of equalling another mark. "I was stealing on my own," said the 5'11" 170-pounder who posted 52 thefts and collected 206 hits for a 299 average during the regular season. "I've been running on my own all year. I'm not going to stop now in the series." Someone asked Brock how he learned to be a base stealer. "When it's your bread and butter, you better learn to do something with it," he replied. "I started studying pitchers three years ago, in 1964, when Johnny Keane gave me the green light to run on my own. "In studying pitchers, you have to know what to look for in their shoulders, their hips and their feet. But I'm not going to say what to look for." Only in his fifth at-bat, in the ninth inning, did Brock fail to hit. He drew a walk from John Wyatt. "I knew I had tied the record," he explained, "because I heard someone in the pressbox say it. But when I came up in the ninth, I wasn't going to swing at a bad pitch just to go for the record. I was happy to get a walk because it 'put a man on second." Even 30 minutes after the game was over, sweat continued to pour from Brock. Someone asked how much weight he might lose in a game like this one. "I don't know," he said, "but I've lost as much as 11 pounds in one game." b-Ran fora Slebern in 8th. c-Grounded out for Wyatt in 9th. d-Flied out for Petrocelli in 9th. ST.

Two walks and a balk put Wyatt in a jam in the ninth be- fore Flood and Maris flied out. Dick Williams, Boston's rookie manager, pulled out all the stops in the eighth, trying to salvage the opener. The made Siebern, Howard and Jerry Adair the first three hiters in the eighth. Siebern singled, was sacrificed to second but died there when Adair and Jones went down. The victory in bright 80-degree sunshine tilted the odds even more sharply in favor of the Cards, who clinched their pen- nant in a romp while the Red Sox had to go down to the wire Sunday. For today's second game at Fen- way, it will be another, battle of right-handers. Jim Longborg the 24-year-old star of Sunday's clinching win over Minnesota and a 22-9 winner in regular ,season, will try to get the Sox even. He will be opposed by bespec- tacled Dick Hughes, a 16-6 per- former who finally made the big leagues this year at 29 after nine years in the Cardinal farm sys- tem.
