Bucs buck PITTSBURGH - Dock Ellis scattered eight hits for his first pitching victory in a month, helping the Pittsburgh Pirates edge Houston 3-1 and halt the Astros' victory streak at six games. Ellis, 0-3 in five previous starts, fell behind 1-0 in the first inning when Greg Gross opened with a single, took sec- ond on an infield out and scored on a double to right by Bob Watson. The Pirates then tagged loser Dave Roberts, 6-8, for two runs on five singles, including run- scoring hits by Manny Sanguil- len and Frank Taveras. The Pirates added an unearn- ed run in the seventh. Taveras singled, took second on a sac- rifice by Ellis and moved to third on an infield out before scoring on an error by second baseman Tommy Helms.

Aaron tabbed for All-Stars; Capra's June player of month Michigan Daily Ma jor League Standings NEW YORK (A") - Outfielder Henry Aaron of Atlanta and catcher Johnny Bench of Cincinnati each received more than 2.5 million votes, and Steve Garvey of Los Angeles won the first-base job as a write-in candidate for the National League All-Star team announced yesterday by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. Aaron led all NL voting with 2,636,200 votes. Pete Rose of Cincinnati, with 2,084,563, and Jim Wynn of Los Angeles, 1,625,259, joined Aaron as starting outfielders. Reggie Smith of St. Louis was fourth with 1,209,503. It will be Aaron's 20th All-Star Game, 15th as a starter. Bench collected 2,628,454, easily outdistancing runnerup Bob Boone of Philadelphia in voting for catcher. Garvey, not listed on the printed ballot, edged Tony Perez of Cincinnati 1,082,489 to 1,059,611 for the first-base berth. The last write-in candidate before Garvey to win was outfielder Rico Carty of Atlanta in 1970. Cincinnati's Joe Morgan won the second-base spot with 2,153,061 to 1,693,389 for Dave Cash of Philadelphia. Los Angeles' Ron Coy held off Philadelphia's Mike Schmidt, another write-in candidate, 1,593,929 to 1,476,447 to become start- ing third baseman. In the fight for No. 1 shortstop, Larry Bowa of Philadelphia, who trailed Los Angeles' Bill Rus- sell for most of the voting, overcame Russell with a closing flurry of votes to win 1,570,033 to 1,085,494. Buzz honored You might call the rise of Buzz Capra to pitch- ing prominence a Cinderella story. One day, he was in the bullpen; the next night, he pitched sensationally in relief and was moved into the starting rotation. The rest is National League history! The emergence of the Atlanta Braves' right- hander to sudden prominence and his outstand- ing June performance of six wins (no losses), three shutouts, four complete games, and a 1.04 ERA earned him the vote of National League writers and broadcasters as the "Play- er of the Month" for June. Capra garnered 31 votes with Philadelphia's Mike Schmidt, the runnerup with 22. The 5-10, 168-pound righthander relies pri- marily on the standard stuff most pitchers throw-fastball, slider, and changeup. "I have more confidence in my fastball now that I'm working more regularly. I had always wanted to start, but the Mets felt that I could relieve." "Everything that has happened has been a great thrill for me," Capra says. "The fans have reacted to me, maybe because I'm small." Aaron feels Capra is effective because he keeps the ball low. "But that's because he's built so close to the ground," Hank quips. As a result of his great success, which has helped the Braves' pitching staff second only to the Dodgers. in the league, Capra is kiddingly called "Sandy" by his teammates. "Quite an honor," says Buzz, "to be mentioned in the same breath as Koufax." AMERICAN LEAGUE East W L Pet.
