BALTIMORE (R) -- T h e
awesome Baltimore Orioles
won their second World Series
in five years yesterday, beat-
ing a steady tatoo of hits
against a disintegrating Cin-
cinnati pitching staff while
lefthander Mike Cuellar stif-!
led the Reds' bats in a 9-3
fifth game victory.
The triumph, built on Cuel-
lar's shutout pitching after a
shaky first inning and under-
scored by a final fieldingf
flourish by Series hero Brooks
Robinson, gave the Orioles
four victories to one for the!
Reds in the best-of-seven set.3
"I'm the happiest I've ever!
bean," said Robinson in t h e
champagne-splashed d r e s s i n g1
room "Nothing will ever replace1
the first one. But it does make up
for everything last year."
LAST YEAR was totally dif-
ferent for the Orioles. They losti
to the New York Mets and Brooks
went 1-for-19. But a look at Cin-
cinnati pitching changed that.

Pete Rose, the plucky Cincinnati
right fielder. "Not enough."
Agreed, said Cincinnati manag-
er Sparky Anderson, adding:
r Sure we used 18 pitchers. But
I've got to do what the scoreboard
shows. They just kept hitting us."
THE ORIOLES started doing
that in Cincinnati Saturday and
finished in Baltimore Thursday,
atoning for their loss to the Mets
last year and earning a minimum
$15,000-a-man prize with an of-
fensive outburst that included
home runs by Frank Robinson and
Merv Rettenmund in a display
that put the Baltimore sluggers in
the record book.

Chiefs trade
Mike Garrett
KANSAS CITY (AP-The Kan-
sas City Chiefs peddled Mike Gar-
rett to the San Diego Chargers
yesterday and Coach Hank Stram
of the Chiefs wished the star run-
ning back "front page success"
with his new team.
In return, the Chiefs got a 1971
second round draft choice.
Stram issued a three-point state-
ment detailing his reasons for
trading Garrett, a former Heis-
man Trophy winner from South-
ern California, in his fifth pro
season.
Stram noted that Garrett has
said this will be his last year in
pro football and that next spring
the player plans to seek a major
league baseball career.
Garrett had said several months
ago that "win, lose or draw, this
is my last season in pro football."
Stram said the Chiefs', "run-
ning backs have developed to
the point where they will give us
the continued efficiency and con-
sistency that we are seeking.
"We are fortunate to have both
quality and depth at the running
back position in the persons of
Warren McVea, Wendell Hayes,
Bobby Holmes and Ed Podolak."

drizzly as rain pelted Memorial
Stadium, but it stopped before
game time, the skies lightened for
45,341 fans and the day brighten-
ed for 25 Orioles as they brought
Manager Earl Weaver his f i r s t
world title.
And despite Cuellar's effective
pitching and the home runs by
Frank Robinson and Rettenmund
that gave the star-studded Balti-
more club a five-game record
total of 10, this was a day when
they all shared center stage.
EVERY BATTER in the lineup,
except Cuellar, stroked at least
one hit in theassault against six
Cincinnati pitchers. And Brooks
Robinson, unquestionably the out-
standing player in the series, add-
ed to his total with his ninth hit.
But Brooks was only a minor
part of the fifth game's story as
the Orioles brought the American
League World Series triumph No.
40 in the 67-year history of the
baseball classic.
The biggest share of the glory
had to be assigned to Cuellar, the
24-game winner who should have
been unsettled by a three-run
first-inning explosion by the Reds,
but then pulled himself together
and fashioned a six-hitter,
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound veter-
an, who started his career with
Cincinnati in 1959, allowed only
two harmless singles after that
and joined the other two mem-
bers of the Orioles' big three-Jim
Palmer and Dave McNally - as
winners in the series. Tom Phoe-
bus got the other victory.
While Cuellar steadied himself,
the rest of the Orioles did the
same, richocheting hits all over
the damp stadium for two runs in
each of the first three innings to
put it away.
Center fielder Paul Blair, who
stroked three singles and matched
Brook Robinson's nine-hit total
for the Series, got the Orioles
started in their half of the first
inning when he stroked a hit with
one out against Cincinnati starter
Jim Merritt.
Merritt worked the count to
3-2 and then Frank swung, loft-
ing the pitch halfway up the left

World
field bleachers for his secondr.
homer of the series. In the sec- _ s
ond inning, the Orioles chased
Merritt and pulled ahead to stay.
DAVE JOHNSON walked with
one out, Andy Etchebarren sine
gled and, when Cuellar hit a
sharp liner to right that Pete
Rose caught, Anderson yanked
Merritt. Wayne Granger, slugged
for a grand slam homer by pitcher
Dave McNally in the third game,
came on-and found the going
just as rough this time.
Mark Belanger and Blair fol-
lowed with consecutive singles,
each drving in a run and putting
Baltimore in front 4-3.
Granger would be gone in the
third. And Anderson would call
on Milt Wilcox, Tony Cloninger,
Ray Washburn and Clay Carroll
in an attempt to stop the big,
bad Birds, but nothing could do
it.
The Reds, who had battled back
from elimination with a 6-5 vic-
tory built on Lee May'sathree-run
homer Wednesday, just were un-
able to find the guy who could
stop the booming Baltimore bats.
Boog Powell, the hulking first
baseman, led off the Baltimore
third with a double on one hop
to the bullpen fence in right-cen-
ter and Merv Rettenmund imme-
diately drove him in with a single.
Rettenmund eventually scored on
a single by Johnson.

RETTENMUND lengthened the
lead to 7-3 in the fifth inning,..
when he tagged a 3-2 pitch from -
Cloninger into the right field
bleachers for his homer.
Then, in the eighth, the Orioles
added further embarrassment by
collecting their final two runs on
three hits. Singles by Blair and
Frank Robinson opened the in-
ning. Powell's hot smash brought
Blair home, and Johnson singled
Frank Robinson home.
That took it into the ninth and,
as Cuellar strode to the mound,
the appreciative crowd cheered
loudly. But the loudest cheer
arose when Brooks Robinson put
the finishing flourish on his bril-
liant one-man performance with
another exceptional fielding play,
spearing a hot liner from Johnny
Bench in foul territory for the
first out.
The crowd roared again as May
fanned for the second out and
r e a c h e d a final ear - splitting'
crescendo as pinch hitter Pat Cor-
rales bounced a grounder to
Brooks Robinson for the final out.
The Baltimore bench emptied
onto the field to embrace each
other. -
