Ken Holtzman of the Chicago Cubs pitched the first no-hitter of the 1971 baseball season last night beating the Cincinnati Reds 1-0. Hltzman, who pitched a no- hitter for the Cubs two years ago against the Atlanta Braves, overcame periods of wildness for his classic, and stifled the Reds, mostly on ground balls. Holtzman struck out six, walk- ed four and kept Cincinnati's fearsome Big Red Machine pounding the ball to Cubs' in- fielders as he weaved his way out of jams caused by control problems. In order to nail down his no- hitter in the ninth, Holtzman had to face the top of the Reds' powerful batting order. Hal McRae made the first out, flying out to John Callison on a 1-0 pitch. Then Tommy Helms struck out on a 1-2 pitch after fouling off one ball. That brought up slugger Lee May who ran the count to two balls and two strikes before striking out to end the game. Holtzman scored the game's only run in the third inning when he led off and reached oi Tony Perez' throwing error. The pitcher moved up on Don Kes- singer's infield out and then scored on Glenn Beckert's line single to right center. Holtzman got into his tough- est jam in the bottom of the third when he walked Buddy Bradford leading off. Bradford moved up on a wild pitch and then went to third as Dave Con- ception grounded out. That brought up pitcher Gary Nolan, who bounced in front of the plate. Catcher Danny Bree- dan pounced on the ball and tagged Nolan for the out, Brad- ford remaining at third. Holtzman then got McRae to fly to center, stranding the run- ner. In the sixth, McRae walked with one out and stole second. But Helms lined out and May bounced out. Then Holtzman took control, retiring the Reds in order over the last three in- nings and retiring the last 11 men in order. Red Sox stop Yanks NEW YORK - Pitcher Ray Culpa run-scoring single with two out in the ninth inning last night carried the Boston Red Sox to a 3-2 victory over the New York Yankees that snap- ped their losing streak at five games. Culp's single scored Duane Josephson, who had doubled, to give the Red Sox a 3-1 lead and they withstood a New York rally in the bottom of the ninth for a one-half game lead over idle Baltimore in the American League East. Josephson cracked a leadoff single off Mel Stottlemyre in tne eighth, moved around to third on a sacrifice bunt and wild pitch and scored the tie-break- ing run two-out on a single by slump-ridden Carl Yastrzemski. Cards clobber Bucs PITTSBURGH - Steve Carl- ton won his 10th game of the season and helped his cause with a two-run double as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated Pitts- burgh, 7-1, halting the Pirates' five-game winning streak.

Namath clear NFL declares NEW YORK -) - For the second time in two years, Joe Namath has cleared himself of any involvement in the manage- ment of Bachelors III to the satisfaction of Commissioner Pete Rozelle of the National Football League. Jim Kensil, executive director of the NFL, said yesterday he had talked with Namath's law- yer, Jimmy Walsh, and been as- sured that Namath no longer is part of the management of the East Side lounge. Walsh had been quoted as saying the New York Jets con- troversial quarterback continued as part of the over-all man- agement unit of the four Bache- lors III around the country. Johnson, with a save percent- age of .731 for the regular sea- son will be in goal, while Lainble will display his talent at the mid- field position. Other Michigan competitors will be midfielders Dick Dean, Sandy Ervin, and Don Dworsky, defensemen Tim Cotter and Pete Lodwick, and Roger Mills on at- tack. While Chicago's Hall Beckwith, an All-American defenseman, will aid Johnson in supplying a staunch defense, the offense seems to have the advantage with stars like Ohio Umiversity's Brian Teeple who carries a 4.4 scoring average and Columbus' Tom Lyle who averaged 1.7 as- sists per game. Other players include mem- bers of clubs representing Cleve- land University of Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Lorraine, Vander- bilt, Wayne State, and West Vir- ginia. Lacrosse is one of the few sports in which NCAA allows club teams to compete with varsity teams, hence Michigan has been able to take on teams like Ohio State's which fields a varsity squad. However, club teams are not allowed to be considered for national rankings. The action will begin at 2 p.m. BILLBOARD Beginning Friday night, June 4th, Waterman Gymnasium will be open from 7 to 10 p.m. for co- recreational activities.- WHAT'S IN A NAME: Is it Big Lew or Big Kareem? 41f WASHINGTON (R) - Lew Al- cindor, most valuable player in the National Basketball Asso- ciation, made it clear yesterday that from now on he wants peo- ple to call him Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the Islamic name he chose nearly three years ago. The champion Milwaukee Bucks' star made his declara- tion at a news conference and picture taking session during which it was confirmed that Al- cindor, his teammate, Oscar Robertson, and Coach Larry Costello, would take a 25-day trip through Africa for the State Department. "I've been kind of quiet about it uip to now," he said. -"Now that I'm representing this coun- try, I want to do it. When I'm speaking to people and holding news conferences, I want to use my islamic name." Alcindor said he didn't expect the Bucks to change his name in the prograom or their .advertising "because I've become famous with it. I do expect people to use my Islamic name when they're talking to me." He repeatedly corrected news- men who called him either "Lew" or "Mr. Alcindor" in or- der to ask a question. His reply was "Kareem" or "Jabbar" Alcindor said he made the name change in the summer of 1968 when he converted from Roman Catholicism to Islamic and made it public in a two-part series in Sports Illustrated in 1969. The 7-foot-3 standout said Ka- reem translates to "noble or generous," Abdul is "servant of allah," and Jabbar, "Powerful." Alcindor said his bride of a week, the former Janice Brown of Los Angeles but now known as "Habiba," would make the tour with him through Algeria, Senegal, Mai, Nigeria, Tanzania and Somalia. He said he was married in Washington last Friday but did not know where he and his wife would make their home when the State Department tour ends. When he was asked where he was married, since there was-no license issued to him in the Dis- trict of Columbia or its surround- ing suburbs, he replied that he did not need a license. . "If I had been married as a Christian or a Jew I would need one, but I was married in a pri- vate home under Islamic law." Alcindor said he was not a black Muslim as is former heav- yweight champion Cassius Clay, but a Sunni Orthodox "like the. religion practiced in Pakistan." During the State Department tpur, the three Bucks will con- duct coaching clinics, give exhi- bitions on how to shoot the ball and meet with the- players of each of the six countries.
