}lammed a double, his-ninth home run
and drove across three runs yesterday
as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the
C'hicago Cubs 11-5 and lowered the
nagic number for clinching the
National Leagueleast title to 13 games.
The Phillies wrapped up their ninth
victory in the last 10 games and 15th in
21, with one run in the third, two more
in the fourth and three in the fifth.
Pirates keep pace
PITTSBURGH - Phil Garner hit a
grand slam home run to back the
combined seven-hit pitching of Jim
Rooker and Kent Tekulve and lead the
Pittsubrgh Pirates to a 7-4 victory over
the St. Louis Cardinals last night.
It was the Pirates' third victory in a
row and it kept them four games behind
first-place Philadelphia in the National
League East.
Garner's grand slam, the first of his
major league career, came in the sixth
inning when the Pirates broke a
scoreless tie with five runs off losing
pitcher Bob Forsch, 11-17.
After Bill Robinson's run-scoring
double gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead in the
sixth, John Milner was walked, and
Garner hit his home run.

by reliever Craig Skok at the start of
the seventh. Gene Garber relieved in
the ninth to record his 24th save of
the season.
"What can I say? It was enough to
be back, and now, winning on top of
that, it's just . . . miraculous!"
Bouton said in a dressing room
interview.
"It's always nice to silence critics
but it's satisfying to myself... I
knew I could do it. I don't think
people can say I don't belong,
anymore . . ."
The 39-year-old knuckleballer has
now pitched 11 innings this year,
nine of them scoreless. Bouton
walked three and struck out two in
leveling his record at 1-1. The loss
was the sixth straight for the fast-
fading Giants.

It was well past three a.m., yet the
grey-haired man could not tear himself
away from his desk. The hot white glare
of his flourescent desk lamp cast an
unearthly glow upon his drawn
features.
"For 11 long years I've tried to come
up with the right answer. But this week
I shall solve the riddle. Or ... or ..."
His voice choked off and his hands
shook violently. Quicd ly he reached for
his high-powered muscle relaxants.
Swallowing a handful, he returned to
the problem confronting him.
"this is it," he declared. "There is no
way that Missouri will beat Notre
Dame and I finally will win a small
Pizza Bob's pizza with two items."
The grey-haired man had his Gridde
Picks in by midnight Friday to The
Daily at 420 Maynard but alas, he did
not win. But don't retire if you lost last
