Den lt WITH THE WHOLE WORLD watching this evening Dennis Dale ("The Menace") McLain will return to the baseball ways when he toes the slab against the surprising New York Yankees. The people watching the closest, however, will be Mc- Lain's loyal fans in the Motor City, who will be hoping that the righthander's strong arm can carry the Tigers to a repeat performance of the wonder year 1968. It could happen. Back in April when I was previewing the coming baseball season in the American League's Eastern Div- ision, I opined that the Tigers could replace Baltimore in the American League's Championship Series if they could stay with- in five games of the Orioles. Before last night's action the Tigers were seven games out of first, but there are some miti- gating factors which continue to make Detroit a viable pennant contender. First, between Detroit, and Baltimore are McLain's oppon- ents tonight the New York Yankees, who are attempting to follow in the footsteps of the Jets, Mets, and Knicks largely on the strength of a good bullpen, a couple of stalwart pitchers and the hitting of Danny Cater, Roy White and Bobby Murcer. Although the Yankees' surprise appearance in the race tends to make the Tigers appear further out of first (they're third now instead of second at this time last year), their presence prob- is a boon to the Tigers, since it keeps the pennant race alive in the minds of the players. LAST YEAR EVERYONE had conceded the division title to the Orioles by this time including half the Tiger players, even if they refused to admit it to others. This year there's increased skepticism in Baltimore's ability to capture the flag, and be- lieving you can win is half the battle-just ask Leo Durocher or any of his Cubs whether they expect to win their next game against the Mets. The second factor to take into account is that the Tigers have been making up ground for the last few weeks rather than falling back into the pack. Thus it can be assumed that the Tigers have been gaining momentum, rather than losing it as the Orioles apparently have. Finally McLain's mere appearance on the team is bound to spell improvement for Detroit's pitching which has proved to be the achilles' heal of the team so far this season. There is no denying McLain possesses a talented right arm although the same may not be said forhis head and even if he should be bombed tonight, within a couple of starts he should be able to -reassume his position as the premier righthander in the Ameri- can League. McLAIN'S PRESENCE should also prove an aid to the rest of the pitching staff, especially lefthander Mickey Lolich. It was expected that Lolich would step in for McLain as the Tiger's stopper. Instead he's been struggling to maintain a .500 record. Apparently the lefty has had trouble adjusting to the position of the team's ace hurler-a position he will cede back to Mc- Lain tonight. There are only two other problems I can forsee for the Tigers besides the seven game deficit. One is the dissension on the ball club, which probably will not improve by pitching McLain on his first eligible day, thus informing him of his in- dispensibility. The second problem is the Yankeees, who have thoroughly convinced themselves that they are the heir appar- ents to New York sports magic. In any case, McLain's quick return into the baseball world, coupled with the presence of the Yankees and a full house at Tiger Stadium should provide enough fireworks to satisfy any red-blooded baseball fan, but please do me a favor-don't buy your tickets for the bleachers tonight until I get mine. Cain's solo homer was his first in the major leagues and helped him win his fifth straight for a; 7-2 record. Stanley followed with his third homer and after Dick McAuliffe singled, Kaline blasted, a two-run homer chasing Peter- son, 10-4. It was Kaline's 10th. *B iI boa rd Entries are now being accept- ed for Intramural Softball in IIIB. Entries should be made at the Sports Bldg. A $5.00 entry fee is required.

Trailing 4-3, the Mets erupted off Bob Veale, 5-9, in the sixth. Donn Clendenon opened with a single and moved to second on a walk to Ron Swoboda before Or- lando Pena came on and gave up Joe Foy's run-scoring single to center. Wayne Garrett then walk- ed to load the bases. Jerry Grote then lined a shot off Pena's glove, scoring Swoboda with the lead run.

(P)-Pres- ident Nixon proclaimed his Cam- bodian operation a success yesterday, conceded it split the American people and promised renewed efforts toward peace "for all of Indochina." Nixon saluted the completion of a withdrawal of all U.S. ground forces on the day he set as the deadline for this and declared: "To the leaders of Hanoi, I say the time has come to negotiate. "For our part," he said, "we sfiall renew our efforts to bring about genuine negotiations both in Paris and for all of Indochina." Though noting that the unfruitful peace talks in Paris are focusing on Vietnam, the President threw out no hint in a 7,000-word written state- ment of what he had in mind by way of seeking a larger settlement em- bracing Laos and Cambodia. But the administration has been talking to a "second phase" in nego- tiations, and a White House official who declined to be quoted by name told a newsman that the steps Nixon plans on the peace front will become, apparent in the coming we months.
