Yankees snap Bengal strea

Special to The Daily
DETROIT - Bobby Murcer
doubled home two runs I a st
night in the eighth inning to
ruin the Tigers' seven g a me
win streak and Mike Kilkenny's
bid for his first victory of the
year, as New York beat De-
troit, 2-1'
Kilkenny allowed only four
hits in his 7% innings, but
wildness was his undoing in
the eighth.
Kilkenny walked Gene Mich-
ael to start the inning, and with
two out Michael tried to steal
second. He got a terrible jump
and would have been out were
it not for catcher Bill Free-
han's high throw and Michael's
toothpick-thin leg, which slip-
ped under the tag.
Thurmond Munson walked,
and as Kilkenny worked t h e
count to three and two on
Murcer, Detroit manager Billy
Martin came close to lifting the
hurler.
He didn't, however, and Mur-
cer drilled a line drive off the
left field wall.
The Tigers scored their run
in the fifth when Al Kaline
singled home Aurelio Rodri-
guez with two away.

Campy sends 'U'
letter of intent
By SANDI GENIS
Michigan's basketball for-
tunes, which seem to be getting
brighter all the time with the
recruitment of several of the top
names in the nation, received a
long-awaited and perhaps most
important dose of added bril-
liance yesterday morning as
hoop coach John Orr announced
that he had received a Big Ten
letter of intent from Campy
Russell.
B, Ten
still seeking
new leader
IOWA CITY, Iowa (P) - The
Big Ten's search for a $30,000-
-a-year athletic commissioner
was under full steam yesterday
with a preliminary list of
about 20 candidates.
Chairman George Yo u n g,
Wisconsin faculty representa-
tive, said his committee a 1 s o
would contact the presidents
-of all conference schools f o r
their possible nominations.
"Each of our five-man groups
has been given a list of four
or five prospects and from now
on we'll be getting in touch
with the candidates on our
list," Young said.
Marcus Plant of Michigan, top
apokesman for the faculty
group, and John Fuzak of MSU
have been mentioned as like-
ly strong candidates from the
Big Ten itself.
Young added that he hoped
the new commissioner c o ul d
be selected before the n e x t
regular conference in e a r 1 y
August at Petoskey, Mich.
By signing the letter, the Pon-
tiac Central star, recognized as
one of the finest schoolboy play-
ers in the country, signified his
intention to enroll at Michigan
next fall. The signed letter
makes it impossible for Campy
to attend any Big Ten school
other than Michigan next year.
The athletic department has
announced a formal press con-
ference for this morning at Pon-
tiac Central high school at
which time Russell will sign the
necessary national letter. His
signature on this letter essen-
tially rules out attendance of
any school outside the confer-
ence.
Coach Orr said of Campy's
signing, "Campy certainly will
be a boost to the long range bas-
ketball program at Michigan".
Tuesday a report had been
filed with the wire services ac-
knowledging Russell's intention
to attend Michigan. Russell was
quoted at that time as saying
"My friendship and respect for
assistant coach Fred Snowden
and the entire Michigan staff
was instrumental in my deci-
sion."
However, University officials,
who had not yet received
Campy's letter of intent, failed
to confirm the report.
The 6-7 All-America., who
sported a 26 point scoring aver-
age in his senior year, ended
nearly two years of intense spec-
ulation about where he would
play his collegiate ball, by choos-
ing Michigan. Earlier in the year
he had indicated his intention to
stay in the state.
Among the some 74 other
schools recruiting him were
Michigan State, University of
Detroit, and NCAA champion
UCLA.
Bob Montgomery's third straight
single drove in the tie-breaking
run in the sixth inning as the
Boston Red Sox nipped the
Washington Senators 3-2 last
night.
Billy Conigliaro opened the
inning with his second double
of the night and fifth in the
last two games and was sacri-
ficed to third. Montgomery,
playing because regular receiver
Duane Josephson has a shoulder
injury, then came through with
a line shot to right to snap a
2-2 deadlock.
The Senators scored a run in
the second on Frank Howard's
double and Larry Bittner's sin-
gle, but the Red Sox tied it in
their half on Conigliero's first
two-bagger and a single by Doug
Griffin.
Boston took a 2-1 lead in the
third on Reggie Smith's double,
a ground out and sacrifice fly
by Rico Petrocelli, but Washing-
ton retaliated in the fifth on
Tim Cullen's single, a sacrifice
by loser Jerry Janeski, 1-4, and
a run-scoring single by Del
Unser.

run homer by Jerry McNertney
in the seventh inning powered
the St. Louis Cardinals past the
Chicago Cubs 9-4 last night and
into first place in the National
League East,

New York Mets, who lost 3-2 to
Philadelphia in 12 inngs.
After Javier and McNertney

the seventh, picked up his first
victory in his first decision.

in the 12th.

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL (A')
- Muhammad Ali said on local
television last night that h i s
next fight will be against Jim-
my Ellis.
The Associated Press had
learned earlier in the day that
the match would be made for
sometime this summer,
Then Ali, here to speak at the
University of Minnesota, con-
firmed in a TV interview that
he will fight Ellis.
Ali did not say when or where
the fight would be but did say
a formal announcement would
be made tonight.
At an afternoon news confer-
ence Ali had declined to name
his next opponent.
"Before I meet Frazier again
I'd like to have two more
matches," said Ali who lost a 15
round decision to heavyweight
champion Joe Frazier in New
York's Madison Square Garden
last March 8.
It was against Ellis that Fraz-
ier gained universal recognition
as champion with a fifth-round
