"There was great pitching on both sides," said Dick Williams. "But that's the way it has been all year." So the opposing .managers, Schoendienst of the Nationals and Williams of the Americans, saw eye to eye on what made the low- scoring 1968 All-Star Game turn out as it did Tuesday night. There were other factors, too - a big one being Willie Mays' open- ing single and skippity hop base running that brought in the Na- tionals' only run in their 1-0 victory. But it was mainly a battle in which the All-Star pitchers had the All-Star hitters looking like they belonged on the awkward squad. It was the Nationals' sixth straight All-Star victory. Buckets of champagne were available in both dressing roomsl but only the Nationals popped the corks. However, the American Leaguers took the loss in stride. The only bitter player was Harmon Kille- brew of the Minnesota Twins -.- and it wasn't the loss that both- ered him. Killebrew, the A m e r i c a n League's first baseman, suffered a severe hamstring pull in his left leg while stretching for a low throw from shortstop Jim Fre- gosi in the third inning. In obvious pain as he dressed, Killebrew shrugged off most ques- daily sports SPORTS NIGHT EDITORS: STUART GANNES and MARCIA ABRAMSON tions with "I'd rather not talk-- -- -Associated Press WONDROUS WILLIE MAYS is shown swinging the bat.

Baltimore f ires manager Baner By The Associated Press ' BALTIMORE - Hank 'Bauer was fired yesterday as manager of the Baltimore Orioles less than two years after he directed them, to the American League pennant and victory in the World Series. The Orioles said Bauer's re- placement would be named this morning. Early speculation was that it would be coach Earl Weaver. "Hank Bauer has been relieved of his duties as manager of the Orioles," was the way the official announcement was phrased. Bauer was informed of the move at his home in Kansas City by Harry Dalton, director of player personnel. Bauer is the third manager to be fired in the majors this season. The first was Gene Mauch, who was replaced at Philadelphia by Bob Skinner. The second was Grady Hatton, whose Houston post was given to Harry Walker. Dalton said that Bauer will be paid the balance of his contract which was due to expire this year. Bauer became manager of the Orioles in 1964. They finished third in the American League the first two seasons and then won the pennant and the World Series in four straight games from the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1966. The feat earned Bauer, former New York Yankee and Kansas City outfielder, election as base- ball Manager Of The Year for the second time. The other was Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pct.

Dn Drysdale, of the Los Angeles Dodgers; the starting and winning pitcher for the Nationals, said he relied mostly on the fast ball and slider. "It seems like this is the year of the pitcher," he said. "This thing seems to run in cycles. I be- lieve that in the World Series and in the All-Star Games the pitch- ers have the advantage." Juan Marichal of the San Fran- cisco Giants, another National League hurler, said, "We had great pitching and great defense. That's a combination hard to beat." Tom Seaver of the New York Mets said low scoring games have been the trend all year. "Good pitching will overcome good hitting at all times," he said. "I didn't think there would be more than five runs scored in the ball game." Williams said he wanted to use all 25 of his players and succeeded with the exception of Gary Bell, one of his own Red Sox pitchers. Bell was scheduled to pitch in the eighth but an American League double play ended the inning be- fore he could appear. Schoendienst, who predicted a low score at his pre-game press conferences said, "In a game like this, the hitters don't see enough of the pitchers to get on to them." Players on both sides said the 1-0 score was not boring. "If I were a fan it would have been the kind of game that would interest me," said St. Louis out- fielder Curt Flood. "I really be- lieve all 50,000 really enjoyed the game." "The few times I looked into the stands everyone seemed to be on the edge of their seats," Schoen- dienst added. Despite the six consecutive vic- tories by the National Leaguers, Schoendienst said there was not that much difference in the two leagues. Ore. hires first black grid coach EUGENE, Ore. UR)'-Ron Strat- ten, a former linebacker and cen- ter, was hired yesterday as the first black football coach at the University of Oregon. Athletic Director Len Casanova, who announced the appointment to Coach Jerry Fre's staff, said Stratten probably will be given a defensive assignment. "Ron is very sharp, has a good personality and is a very good teacher," Casanova said. "He also is popular - he was student body president at Lowell High School in San Francisco.", Stratten played-under Casanova as a sophomore in 1961. He was idle in 1962 because of a broken ankle and finished his college ca- reer at Oregon in 1963 and 1964. HANK BAUER NL splits in two d; maintains 162 1game sked for the .third place Oriole finish in 1964. The Orioles finished sixth last season and there was speculation then that Bauer's job was on the line. He was retained, but three of the four coaches were fired. The Orioles currently are in third place, but trail leading De- troit by 1012 games. The 46-year-old Bauer nan-4 aged Kansas City 11/2 seasons be- fore succeeding Billy Hitchcock in Baltimore. He was operated on recently to remove a nodule from his throat and had been forbidden to speak for a while. Bauer kept his family in Kanses when the Orioles hired him as manager in 1964, saying "base- ball is so indefinite, you know." He was back home today with the family, having been dismissed yesterday midway through the American League season.g. "It wasn't much of a surprise," said Bauer yesterday. "Somebody had to take the blame and I'm the guy. Our pitching has been good, but the hitting has been bad." Last season, the troubles were reversed with the pitching falling off drastically from the 1966 pern- nant season. The Oriole team batting aver- age currently is .218. "You have to expect things like this in baseball," Bauer said of his firing. "The Orioles have treated me fine. I feel no bitter- ness." He said he does not expect to look for another baseball job this season. Bauer played 11 seasons as an outfielder with the New York Yankees in a span when they ap- peared in nine World Series. He was traded to Kansas City in 1959 and became its manager in 1961. DURHAM, N.C. -Al Woodall, starting quarterback and 1968 captain of the Duke University football team, has been suspended from the university after being convicted of cheating. The suspension dealt a severe blow to coach Tom Harp's plans for his Blue Devils this fall. Only sophomores are left to replace Woodall as quarterback on a team that Harp had intended to be a passing team. v Woodall said yesterday he got a "raw deal" from the faculty- student board that heard his case through two appeals. He was con- victed of allowing a coed to write a term paper for him. He was the first star athlete to become publically connected with a cheating investigation at Duke which already has resulted in the suspension of 13 students. A few, additional students have convic- tions under appeal. SEMI-SAINT Woodall, a 6-5, 200-pounder from Erwin, N.C., has signed to play this fall with the Richmond' Roadrunners of the semi-pro Atlantic Coast Football League. The Roadrunners are a farm team of the New Orleans Saints. Woodall would have been a rising senior at Duke, and is not eligible to sign with a professional club until his final year of college eligibility is up. He said he hopes eventually to play professional ball. He said he will complete work on his degree at a school in the Richmond area. The investigation at Duke has been under way for at least six weeks. The university is making little information about it public but it reportedly started when one athlete's girl friend tattled on him for letting her write a term paper for him. One source at the university, who asked to remain unidentified, said none of the other students suspended or under appeal is an athlete of star quality. But Peter Schafer Sr. of Ramsey, N.J., has acknowledged that his son, tail- back Pete Schafer, was suspend- ed until the fall of 1969 because of the investigation. DENIES CHARGE Woodall said, "In my case, I was charged with allowing a coed tutor to write a paper in educa- tion for me, which I denied." He added, "It was a girl's word against my word and they believed By The Associated Press HOUSTON - The National League has decided to go along with the American League and split its 12 teams next season into two divisions of six teams each. This was learned by the Asso- ciated Press as directors met be- hind closed doors to discuss opera- tions growing out of the addition of Montreal and San Diego in the NL family.' Originally the National League had announced that it would op- erate a 12-team league over a 162- game schedule. But the American League, which will be expanding to Kansas City and Seattle, had split its 12 teams into two geo- graphical divisions with a 156- game schedule. Commissioner William D. Eckert and baseball's Executive Council both urged NL directors to recon- sider and adopt the AL plan. - The National League was pre- pared to do this, directors said, provided the American League re- instated a 162-game card. That proposal was one of many items on the agenda at the AL meet- ing, held yesterday simultane- ously with the NL gathering. President Warren Giles of the National League, President Joe Cronin of the American and Eckert were to hold a joint news conference following the meetings. It was expected that the align- ment of the two divisions would be revealed at that time.. ,Representatives of the new Montreal and San Diego franchis- es in the NL were on hand to make progress reports to the own- ers. The more vital of these was that from Montreal where civic problems have arisen since the city was granted a team six weeks ago. Lucien Saulnier and Gerry Snyder, representing the Cana- dian metropolis, disclosed to the owners a plan for placing a roof over 'the Autostade, theproposed temporary home of Montreal's new team. Warren Giles, president of the National League, finally an- nounced the two divisions as fol- lows: New York, Philadelphia, Pitts- burgh, Chicago, St. Louis, and the expansion team from Montreal will play in one group while San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, Cincinnati, Atlanta and San Diego's new team will compose the other. In addition, the American League agreed to expand its schedule from the earlier an- nounced 156 games to 162, the figure favored by the National League. This move was made despite violent protest from Arthur llyn, owner of the Chicago White Box. ATTENTION FRESHMEN Reserve your textbooks NOW Allyn said the White Sox would appeal the 162 game schedule'and the makeup of their division to commissioner Eckert. The Sox have been unhappy with the di- visional makeup which places them with Minnesota, Oakland, Kansas City, California and the new Seattle team. Under baseball's master plan for 1969, teams in' the same divi- sion will play each other 18 times a year and will meet teams in the other division 12 times a year. six wees after injuiry MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL (P) - The Minnesota Twins learned yesterday that slugger Harmon Killebrew suffered a torn muscle in Tuesday night's baseball All- Star game and will be lost for six to eight weeks. The assessment of Killebrew's injury and the period of his dis- ability came from Dr. Harvey O'Phelan, a club physican who- examined Killebrew yesterday afternoon here. "His disability is relatively se- vere," O'Phalen said. "He will be unable to play for six to eight weeks." O'Phalen described Killebrew's injury as a partial rupture of the medial hamstring muscle. - The doctor said treatments will begin on Killebrew later this week. The Twins said Killebrew is being placed on the disabled list 0 immediately. He must remain on the list at least 21 days, but se- verity of the injury gave strong indication that Killebrew would not be able to return to the Twins' lineup until September at the earliest Club President Calvin; Griffith.1r will decide today on who to call up from the Twins' minorleague farm system as a roster replace- ment for Killebrew. Griffith was due to return from Houston, site of the All- Star game, late last night. Manager Cal Ermer said yes- terday that Rich Reese would replace Killebrew at first base for the Twins. The Twins trail Detroit by 15 games, and the loss of Killebrew is a critical blow to their hopes of recovering from a poor first half. Killebrew injured his left leg stretching for a low throw in the third inning of, the All-Star game. He was carried from the field on a stretcher. -Associated Press DUKE QUARTERBACK and captain of his team for 1968, Al Woodall has been suspended from school after a coed; claimed she wrote a term paper for him. Woodall will not attend classes at Duke next year, but will play with the Richmond Roadrunners, a farm club for the New Orleans Saints. her in the hearing. I appealed twice and I was turned down. The last appeal was turned down last Wednesday. I repeat: I was given a raw deal." In 1967, Woodall completed 79 of 150 pass attempts for 11,019 yards and a 52.7 per cent comple- tion average. He passed for two touchdowns. Nine of his passes were intercepted. Harp has three rising sopho- more quarterbacks from which to slect arreplacement for Woodall. They are Dave Trice of Char- lottesville, Va., who was red- shirted last year; Lee Hart of Kinston and Randy Short of Charlotte. "They are all good young men," the coach said. "One of them will have to do the job." Rising senior Larry Davis un- derstudied Woodall last year, but Harp plans to use him as a de- fensive back this year. He missed spring football practice because of playing baseball. Harp added, "We regret losing a young man of Al Woodall's cap- abilities. . . During spring prac- tice our basic offense was built around his ability to throw the ball. His loss dealt us a very severe blow at this most impor- tant position, but we will make the necessary adjustments. Mean- while, we wish him the best of luck in his professional football career." Woodall is working this sum- mer as a playground instructor in Concord. He began coaching at his for- mer high school in 1965 and coached and taught science at Hayward High School in Hayward, Calif., in 1966-67. Casanova said Stratten will bring Frei's staff to eight.Oregon has three black players returning to its varsity squad this fall.
