THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Twelve Wednesday, July 14, 1976 AL blows it again, 7-1 PHILADELPHIA (A - George Foster wal- loped a home run and drove in three runs as the Na- tional League continued its All - Star domination with a 7 - 1 victory over the American L e a g u e in the 47th renewal of their annual game T u e s d a y night. The victory was the fifth straight for the Nationals and the 13th in the last 14 years. Over-all, the NL has built a 28-18-1 lead in the series that began in 1933. The National League took an early 4-0 lead and then wrap- ped up its victory with three runs in the eighth inning, two of them on a two-out homer by Cesar Cedeno. The Veterans Stadium crowd of 63,974, including President Gerald R. Ford, had hardly settled down before the Na- tional League was in front. The NL took charge in the first inning, nicking American League starter Mark Fidrych for two runs on a lead-off single by Pete Rose and a triple by Steve Garvey. Foster's one-out grounder sent Garvey home. "I don't know what hap- pened," said Fidrych. "I didn't pitch like I wanted to pitch. I wanted no runs. I would have felt better, but that's life." The rookie said appearing in the game was a tremendous thrill for him even though he was the losing pitcher. "It's something I'll never for- get in my life." After Rose had lined Fidr- ych's second pitch of the game into center field for a lead-off single, the rookie right-hander missed with his first two pitch- es to Garvey. Then Garvey lashed a drive towards the right field line. Rusty Staub broke for the ball but could not get to it and then fell as he chased after it. The ball bounced all the way to the wall as Rose circled the bases and Garvey pulled into third with a triple. "I knew it was going to bounce," said Staub. "That's why I jumped at it. I wanted to knock it down to keep the guy from scoring. It's like glass out there when you wear spikes." Foster, who was named the Game's Most Valuable Players, made it 2-0 with his grounder. Fidrych was in big trouble again in the second inning when the Nationals put runners at second and third with one out on singles by Johnny Bench and Dave Concepcion and a passed ball by Thurman Mun- son. But he escaped by striking out Jones and getting Rose on a grounder. Then, in the third, with one out, Joe Morgan stroked a single to center, and Foster, the major league's runs - batted-in leader with 72, drilled a one- strike pitch from Catfish Hunt- er over the wall in left center field. The American League's only run came on another hom- er, this one by Fred Lynn against Tom Seaver in the fourth inning. But, except for that line drive shot that landed in the first deck of the right field stands, the Americans rarely threat- ened. NL starter Randy Jones, and relievers Seaver, John Monte- fusco, Rick Rhoden and Ken Forsch scattered five hits, and three double plays cut short po- tential AL rallies. After Foster's home in the third inning, the Nationals managed only one more hit - Rose's lead-off triple against Luis Tiant in the fifth-until the eighth - inning wrapup rally against Tanana. Tiant stranded Rose, retiring Garvey, Morgan and Foster. CHARLIE HUSTLE, ALIAS Pete Rose, slides into third base in last night's All-Star game. Late with the tag is Kansas City's George Brett. The National League won again last night, this time 7-1. TEAM WITHOUT A COUNTRY Taiwanese may compromise By The Associated Press MONTREAL-Taiwan's team officials considered last night whether to change signals and compete in the Olympic Games -under the Olympic flag and without a name. "The door we thought had been slammed is open again," Lord Killanin, president of the International Olympic Commit- tee, said, adding the Taiwanese would give a reply to the IOC by today. The IOC, in its first day of full-session meetings, unani- mously condemned the Cana- dian government for what the IOC called a breach of faith over the Taiwanese, Killanin told a news conference. Can- ada has said the Taiwanese cannot enter the country un- der the name of the Republic of China or use their national flag. When the Executive Board of the IOC met last week, it asked the Taiwanese to march in Saturday's opening ceremony behind the Olympic flag and the IOC insignia. At that time, the Taiwanese flatly refused and said they would walk out of the Games if they had to com- pete under such conditions. The bulk of Taiwan's Olympic team is in the United States, still hoping to enter Canada. Killanin said no countries had threatened to pull their teams out of the Games over the Tai- wan issue. tie repeated what he said last week - that if he had known a year ago that Canada would make difficulties over Taiwan's entry, he would have recommended moving the games elsewhere. The IOC unanimously ap- proved the recommendation of the Executive Board that the Games must go on, whatever happens over Taiwan. "The question of not holding them was touched on," Killanin said, "but it was realized that in view of the short time left it was not practicable to cancel them. The people who would stffer would be the athletes." Rillanin repeated his charge that the Canadian government had pledged in 1969 to allow free access to all national Olym- pic committees recognized by the IOC, and had broken its word. He denied a statement by the Canadian government that the subject of the Taiwanese being excluded was raised in conversations last year. The Canadians have argued that when they gave a written assurance that all athletes would be admitted for the Games, they specified "pursuant to normal regutlations," and t h a t this coverstheir policy towards Tai- wan. Killanin said he understood this phrase to refer to such routine matters as cholera in- jections. He said the Canadian Olympic Association and May- or Jean Drapeau of Montreal, the man who initiated the bid for the Games, had told him they interpreted the govern- ment's letter in the same way. In Washington, a spokesman for President Ford said it was "the American position, the White House position," that the IOC alone should decide which teams take part in the Games. White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen said: "The role of the host country is solely to provide facilities for the Games, and the host country should not stipulate political or other con- siderations for participation in the Games." Asked again whether Ford would recommend an American boycott of the Games over the issue, Nessen said he would not "want to project that far ahead." U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater and the New York Times sug- gested yesterday that the United States reconsider its participa- tion in the Games, but Douglas Roby, U.S. member of the IOC, said: "I don't think there is much chance of the U.S. team pulling out."
