Aaron, 0's streak; Tigers strike

From Wire Service Reports
Hank Aaron last night ran
his streak of consecutive hits
to eight before he was retired,
and the Baltimore Orioles won
their sixth straight. But these
streaks, t ho ugh outstanding,
were not surprising. Aaron is
expected to hit, and the Orioles
to win.
What was surprising is that
Detroit's Mickey Stanley ex-
ploded with a three-run triple
as the Tigers rolled over Mil-
waukee, 8-3.
The drive by Stanley, who has
won his fame with his glove,
not his bat, bounced off the left
wall, 400 feet away, and scored
Willie Horton, Norm Cash and
Bill Freehan.
Mickey Lolich, 9-5, hurled his
ninth complete game. Two of the
runs came on Ron Theobald's
leadoff homer, the rookie's first
in the major's, and his sacrifice
fly.
Mark Belanger and Don Bu-
ford drove in two runs each in
the Orioles' five run second, and
Pat Dobson held Minnesota off
for an 8-2 win,
In the National League East,
three teams are now within a
game of the top, after St. Louis
and Pittsburgh each lost in
extra innings and New York
won.
There was no other similarity
between the Pirates' and Car-
dinals' losses. Pittsburgh lost a
pitcher's duel to Ken Holtzman
and the Chicago Cubs, 1-0, in
12 innings, while the Redbirds
were outslugged by Atlanta, 8-7,
in 10.
For the second straight night,
the Braves built a big lead and

guins.
The Penguins, shrugging off
Horton's big salary and 41 years
of age, snatched him midway
through the second round when
the Rangers left him exposed,
hoping salary and age might
discourage any takers.
Horton, a 19-year veteran and
a former All Star with the Toron-
to Maple Leafs before coming to
the Rangers in 1969, had a solid
season last year and was out-
standing in the playoffs.
Wayne Carlton, a reserve wing-
er from Boston, was the first
player selected, by California,
and Detroit followed by picking
goalie Al Smith of Pittsburgh,
which chose to protect recently
acquired goalie Roy Edwards
from Detroit and Les Binkley.

saw it disappear in a huiry.
This time, however, the Braves
pulled it out in the 10th, when
Sonny Jackson, running for
Williams who opened up with
-a double, moved to third on a
sacrifice and scored after Dar-
rell Evans fly ball.
Pittsburgh, still a half-game
behind St. Louis, was stymied by
Holtzman on 10 hits. The team of
Jim Nelson and Jim Grant, who
came on in the eighth, would
have been as good, were it not for
Joe Pepitone, who homered to
end it.
The Mets, led by Jerry (0-for-
14) Grote, who broke a slump
with three hits, defeated San
Diego, 6-4 to move into second
on percentages.
The Pittsburgh affair was not
the only pitcher's duel in the Na-
tional League. Astro Don Wilson

Reds, 2-0.
Spinning Cincinnati has slump-
ed because of the new River-
front Stadium, many wags claim.
Unfortunately for the Reds, even
if the whole team decided to go
on strike, for example, to return
to old and friendly Crosley Field,
that would not be possible.
City officials are looking for
federal funds to raze Crosley
by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles kept
up their slow creep at West divi-
sion leader San Francisco. Jim
Lefebvre's two-run homer led
Los Angeles past Philadelphia,
4-2.
The Dodgers, who reached
within seven games of the Giants,
got six innings of shutout pitch-
ing from Bill Singer.
The Giant's ace Juan Marichal
failed them, and Bill Stoneman
didn't fail Montreal, as the Ex-

pos clobbered San Francisco, 10-
3. Stoneman fanned 13, and Mon-
treal jumped on five runs in the
first four innings.

runs for the Royals.

BASEBALL OR SCHOOL?
Young star torn by dilemma

NEW YORK (A') - The Chi-
cago White Sox decided to risk
their No. 1 choice on Da nny
Kay Goodwin of Peoria, Ill., as
the baseball draft opened yes-
terday, hoping to convince the
17-year-old catcher to become
a fulltime player and a part-
time student.
Goodwin, who batted .469, .427
and .495 at Peoria Central High

Major League Standings

School, was selected by the
White Sox even though he said
only Monday that he was in a
dilemma created by his twin
desires to play baseball a n d
continue his education.
It is a dilemma faced by near-
ly all of the draft selections in
the regular phase - predomin-
antly high school seniors - and
since the draft began in 1965,
more than 62 per cent have de-
cided in favor of baseball by
signing contracts.
The White Sox believe they
can convince Goodwin to do
the same,
"It's the initial reaction of
any young fellow oriented to
college to find himself in that
position," said Roland Hemond,
director of player personnel for
the Chicagoans. "But a lot of
youngsters now go to school
and play baseball. I think we

can work out something t h at
permits him to have an educa-
tion."
While Hemond said they could
work out Goodwin's education,
he didn't think the same about
a $100,000 bonus - the figure .
usually tossed around as the
final inducement in making a
draftee a fulltime player and
parttime stuoent.
"The $100,000 figure is an
automatic figure everybodytalks
about - but it's a newspaper
figure," said Hemond.
While the White Sox weren't
certain they could sign Good-
win, the San Diego Padres were
certain they could sign the No.
2 choice - pitcher John Wil-
liam Franklin of Vienna, Va. -
and there was little doubt that
pitching was the top commod-
ity being sought by major
league clubs.

One-armed fielder shows skill

GARDEN CITY, Mich. (/P) - "He earned his
spot on the team. It was no gift," said Coach
Billy Joe Young of his one-armed pitcher-out-
fielder.
Ken Sharp, 15, lost his left arm in a hunting
accident last November. It was amputated six
inches below the shoulder.
But when baseball tryouts came around in
April at Garden City East High the 6-foot, 175-
pounder was there - hoping to make the team.
"I'll admit I was a bit surprised when Ken
tried out for the team in April," said Coach Young.
"I told him how tough it would be but he just
asked for a fair chance and no special favors."
Young said he was astounded by Sharp's fluent
swing and virtually flawless fielding.
Sharp stands in the righthand batter's box
with bat at waist level. He swings with a locked
wrist. When fielding, he catches the ball, flips it
into the air, drops his glove, catches the ball again
and throws.

As a pitcher and outfielder, Sharp yielded only
one earned run in eight innings on the mound and
hit and fielded well enough to start in eight of the
school's 13 games. He collected two hits in 15 at-
bats and, batting seventh in the order, collected
eight walks and five sacrifices.
"He hit the ball hard enough for another six hits,
but they were always at someone," Young said.
Sharp, a sophomore, started baseball in the Pee
Wee division when he was 6.
He is bowling in asummer league and carrying
a 157 average. And he's keeping in shape for next
season's school sports program by playing softball
in a neighborhood church league.
Sharp has an example to follow in his baseball
career. Pete Gray, an outfielder for the old St.
Louis Browns in 1945, played with a similar handi-
cap.
The tousle-haired youngster now has set his
sights on even harder competition. He plans to try
out for his high school's football and basketball
teams next year.

Quiz Apologia
The sports staff regrets that there was an unfortunate typo- +
graphical error in yesterday's Weakly Quiz. The word "blunder"
in the question, "What was the biggest blunder in last year's Michi-
gan-Ohio State football game?" should have read "blubber."
The answer, of course, is Woody Hayes.
To Vic Gutman and Judy Blender who got up at eight a.m.,
anyway, to submit the first answer goes a pizza.
The rest of you lucky folks get an extra chance to win the
specialty of the house at Cottage Inn, makers of the smallest milk
shake this side of Great Shakes. All you have to do is answer this
question:
When Jackie Robinson was admitted to Organized Baseball as
the first black player, the major leagues voted on whether to let
him in. Only one team voted in his favor. Which was it?
