DETROIT-Earl Wilson walkedc
out to the mound promptly at 8
Sp.m. last night, and the Baltimore
Orioles were dead.
It was that simple.
.All Wilson did was stifle the
Orioles with a four hitter and
drive in four runs on a homer
and a single in a 9-1 triumph that
was reminiscent of his great sea-
son in 1967.

Sept. 30, the Superior Court ruled
yesterday.
It held out the possibility, how-
ever, that he might later have to

S quit the Warriors of the National
Basketball Association at the end
of the 1967 season and signed
with the Oaks of the American
Basketball Association. The court
forced him to sit out last season.
Warrior owner Franklin Mieuli
explained that it was too late for
'an appeal to prevent Barry play-
ing for the Oaks in the upcoming
season.
Judge Carpeneti upheld the
validity of the National Basket-
ball Association contracts with
the contro'yersial option clause.

WILSON BREEZES
MVeanwhile, Wilson was breezing
along against a tight ,Baltimore
that was desperate for the win in
order to keep its pennant hopes
alive. He struck out two in the
first and two in the second, and

In fact, during the whole game,
Baltimore never managed a real
threat, their only run coming on a
sixth inning home run by Buford.
Detroit countered this feeble
effort with a single by.Dick Mc-

Stanley, and a single by Northrup
in the eighth inning.
Wilson, in recording his twelfth
win against 11 losses, gave the

needed rest. Actually, no Tiger re-

Lots of times sports stink.
Really stink.*
I mean, doesn't it seem to you
that they appeal to the basest of
human emotions, that they are
merely trivia contests for cretins,
and. that they are hopelessly an-
achronistic, irrelevant and stupid?
Who could possibly give enough of
a damn about sports to even waste
a second of time in their behalf?
Who could be that stupid?
