Tuesday, August 8, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Eleven' Birds bang Brewers By The Associated Press MILWAUKEE-Mark Belanger drilled a tie-breaking two-run double in the sixth inning to carry the Baltimore Orioles to a 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers last night. The victory, only the Orioles third in the last 10 baseball games, enabled them to cut idle Detroit's lead in the American League East .to two games. Dave May's single, a walk and Ollie Brown's single gave the Brewers a first-inning run but Brooks Robinson tied it for Baltimore in the second with his seventh home run of the year. In the sixth, Jim Lonborg, 10- 6, walked Robinson and Merv Rettenmund, then Belanger came through with his decisive double . into the left-field corner. That was enough to give Mike Cuellar his 11th victory against nine defeats. But when Milwau- kee cut the Orioles' lead to 3-2 in the sixth on a walk and two singles, Doyle Alexander came on to stifle the rally. Baltimore added two insurance runs in the eighth on a single by Rettenmund, a double by Ellie Hendricks and two errors by Brewer shortstop Rick Auer- AP Photo bach. kes in the festivities during the * *' * raves' manager, Eddie Mathews Royals rock ond inning last night powering KANSAS CITY- Kansas City or Eddie got off on the wrong broke Jim Hunter's six-game winning streak with a four-run, CALMS CRITICS captures PG fourth-inning outburst that gave the Royals a 4-2 victory over the Oakland A's last night. The defeat, the A's fourth in the last five baseball games, cut their lead over idle Chicago in the American League West to three games. Hunter, 14-5, owning a 2-0 lead going into the fourth, walked Richie Scheinblum and gave up a double to Ed Kirkpatrick. Lou Piniella then hit a sacrifice fly for the Royals' first run. Magic number: 52 You people better hurry to buy your American League Playoff tickets because the bruisin' Bengals decep- lice digit now reads 52. It would have heen 5 obut the Orioles won and messed things up. Fred Patek was walked inten- tionally but the strategy back- fired when winning pitcher Dick Drago, 8-13, Cookie Rojas and Amos Otis followed with run- scoring singles. Joe Rudi's 14th home run of the season in the first inning and a double by Bill Voss, a single by Angel Mangual and Tim Cullen's double-play ground- er accounted for Oakland's two runs. Twins trip MINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAUL - Jim Perry, helping himself with a wild unassisted double play, pitched a two-hitter yesterday and paced the Minnesota Twins to a 5-0 baseball victory over the Texas Rangers in the Ameri- can League. With none out in the fifth, Perry lost his no-hit bid when Dick Billings bounced an infield single over the pitcher's out- stretched glove and Ted Ford lined a single to right. Mets nipped ST. LOUIS - Ted Sizemore's looping hit to left field bounced past a diving Cleon Jones for an inside-the-park home run in the 13th inning, giving the St. Louis Cardinals a 3-2 victory over the New York Mets last night. Sizemore led off the 13th' af- ter Tug McGraw had worked four hitless innings and struck out six in relief of Tom Seaver. Jones elected to try and catch his short fly but the baseball got past him and rolled to the wall as Sizemore circled the bases and scored easily with only his second home run of the sea- son. It was the Mets' fifth defeat in their last seven outings and dropped them 81t games behind Pittsburgh in the National League East. The Mets tied the score against Bob Gibson in the ninth on successive doubles by Ken Boswell and Duffy Dyer. New York took the lead in the first inning on Wayne Garrett's second home run of the season but the Cards tied it in the bot- tom of the first on Lou Brock's single and stolen base and Joe Torre's single. St. Louis moved in front 2-1 in the fourth when Torre and Ted Simmons sirigled and Seaver walked Jose Cruz and Dal Max- vill. Colts get Domres IRVINE, Calif. OP) - The San Diego Chargers sent back- up quarterback Marty Domres to the Baltimore Colts yester- day in exchange for a 1973 first round draft choice and rookie tight end John Andrews. Domres, the Chargers' No. 1 pick in 1969 from Columbia University, saw little action in his first three years behind, starter John Hadl and had asked to be traded. San Diego Head Coach Har- land Svare called Domres a "fine quarterback" but added, We have an excellent quarter- back in Wayne Clark and we wanted to get our No. 1 draft choice back. The Chargers had given up their first round selection to Philadelphia a week ago to ob- tain linebacker Tim Rossovich. While with the Chargers, Domres completed 82 of 179 passes for 1,209 yards and five touchdowns. CINCINNATI'S Joe Morgan parta major league debut of Atlanta Bi with a three-run blast in the sec the Reds to a 9-1 massacre. Poo foot. By BOB HEUER Special To The Daily BIRMINGHAM, Hich.-"When Ben Hogan said this course was a monster, he wasn't kidding." The words came from the man who came closest to taming Oakland Hills' rugged layout, new PGA champion Gary Play- er, After becoming only the second pro to win a tournament without breaking par this year, Player used nothing but super- latives to describe this thumb- ling course" which bruised the egos of the year's most select field. "This was the toughest and most well prepared course ever to hold the PGA." Player's two-stroke victory over Jim Jamieson and Tommy Aaron was sealed at the hazar- dous sixteenth hole when he drove into the deep left rough. Unable to see the flag stick from behind a group of trees, Player took aim on a seat stick in the gallery behind the green and un- corked a nine iron which cleared the trees and came to rest four and one half feet from the hole. The five-eight South African called it one of the greatest shots under pressure he has ever made. "I was 15 yards from the green with a nine iron," re- called the champion, "and you've got to know the ball is going to be in the water or very close." The birdie producing ap- proach came after Player had rimmed a 15 inch par putt on number fifteen. B. T. is cut From Wire Service Reports GREENVILLE, S.C. - Billy raylor, former Michigan tail- back, who in his three years eith the Wolverines from 1969- 11 set career rushing marks ioth for the Wolverines and the Big Ten was released yes- ,erday by the Atlanta Falcons. Taylor, 5-11, 195, was select- d by the Falcons in the fifth -ound of the college football traft last year and started the 'alcons' first game last. Satur- lay, but netted no gain on four ,arries.; WHILE favorites Jack Nick- laus, Lee Trevino and Arnold Palmer were no where in sight, Jamieson, Aaron, Ray Floyd, Billy Casper and Jerry Heard all held at least a share of the lead during the final round. None however could stand pat long enough to win it. Jamieson had the best chance, starding at even par after 15 holes Sunday, but by his own admission felt the pressure too much as he bogeyed 16, 17 and 18 to finish at three over par 283. Heard, the tournament's sec- ond round leader, hit the ball superbly all four days, but on only one occasion sank a put of over 10 feet. The tour's third leading money winner pulled ahead of Player when he birdied the first hole while the eventual winner was taking bogeys at 1, 3 and 4. Heard slammed the door on his own chances how- ever, when he missed putts of under eight feet at 11, 12 and 13. Sixty year old Sam Snead tied George Archer for Sunday's lowest round at 69. Snead fin- ished three shots back and was still very much in contention until he three putted at number 13. The victory was a great per- sonal triumph for Player, who hadn't won a major tournament since the 1965 U.S. Open. At least temporarily silenced were the critics who had dismissed Player from golf's so-called "big three." THE CRITICS had no leg to stand on anyway. In only fifteen tour stops this year, Player won the New Orleans Open, and placed second in the Atlantic Golf Classic, fourth in the Kem- per Open, and in the top ten a total of seven times. ° One reporter asked if an in- cidert at the Greensboro Open wnhere Player had failed to sign his card after a third round 67 and was disqualified had made him more determined to win the PGA. "That helped," said Player. "But what really did it was that article in the paper last week." He was referring to a story in the Detroit Free Press which described his fall from golf's elite.) "That story was unfair," he said. "I've won more tourna- ments than anyone else in the game, and I've won more money than anyone except Jack (Nick- laus)." The verbage of the story's headline had Player snorting a reply. He called it a "nasty article" and wondered aloud how one "snorts."
