What Ruth Built, Peterson Rules;

Yanks Extend Win Streak To Six
NEW YORK They call Yankee Stadium
The House That Ruth Built, and Babe Ruth
made a lot of pitchers regret they ever set foot
inside his domicile.
Fritz Peterson? He loves it there in a way no
hurler ever has.
Peterson (2-0) throttled the Tigers on eight
hits Wednesday as the Yankees topped Detroit
8-2 for their sixth win in a row. It gave the 29year-old southpaw a career ERA of 2.39 at
Yankee Stadium the best mark of any pitcher with a minimum of 500 innings pitched in
the big ballpark in the Bronx.
The Yanks gave Peterson a 2-0 lead on an
RBI groundout by John Ellis in the fourth inning and a run-scoring single by Danny Cater
in the sixth. Detroit tied the game in the eighth.
New York second baseman Horace Clarke
opened the bottom of the frame by drawing a
walk off Detroit reliever Tom Timmerman.
One out later catcher Thurman Munson homered to left, sparking a six-run rally that gave
the Yankees an 8-2 advantage.
It was Detroits sixth straight defeat. Timmerman (0-1) took the loss in relief of Mickey
Lolich, who allowed two runs in seven innings.
Indians 1, Orioles 0
CLEVELAND Sam McDowell fired a
three-hitter for his 21st career shutout as the
Indians blanked the Orioles.
McDowell (1-1) allowed just three singles to
a Baltimore team that led the American League
in scoring in 1970. He fanned four and lowered
his ERA to 1.59.
The three-hitter was the 15th of his career.
Cleveland scored the games only run in the
bottom of the fourth inning, when cleanup hitter Ray Fosse singled home Graig Nettles.
Losing pitcher Mike Cuellar (1-1) of the Orioles allowed one run in seven innings. Mark
Belanger had two of Baltimores three hits.
As 3, Twins 2
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. Don Mincher
and Sal Bando belted back-to-back home runs
in the sixth inning to give the As a 3-1 lead
and Oakland went on to edge the Twins.
Minnesotas Tom Hall and Oaklands Diego
Segui pitched to a 1-1 tie after five innings.
Mincher launched a 3-1 Hall delivery for a tiebreaking round-tripper with one out in the top
of the sixth. Bando followed with a solo shot of
his own. It was Minchers second home run of
the season, and Bandos first.
Segui (2-0) struck out seven in a complete-

game effort. Hall (0-2) allowed three runs in

eight innings, whiffing eight.
White Sox 7, Brewers 3
CHICAGO Tommy John (2-0) scattered
eight hits in his second consecutive complete
game as the White Sox bounced the Brewers.
The game was tied 3-3 when Ed Stroud singled with one out in the bottom of the fifth. He
reached second on a balk and third on a wild
pitch. He scored the tie-breaking run on Jay
Johnstones ground out.
Ed Herrmann, Bill Melton and Rick Reichardt
tagged homers for Chicago. Catcher Phil Roof
homered for the Brewers.
Angels 5, Royals 2
KANSAS CITY Clyde Wright held Kansas
City to two runs on three hits in eight innings as
the Angels eased past the Royals.
Wright (2-1) lowered his ERA to 2.86. Royals
starter and loser Jim Rooker (0-2) allowed three
runs in seven frames.
Red Sox 5, Senators 4
WASHINGTON D.C. Doug Griffin ripped
a tying two-run double in the eighth inning and
John Kennedy followed with an RBI ground out
as the Red Sox nipped the Senators.
Tim Cullen had three hits and Joe Foy drove in
two runs for the Senators, who have lost six of
seven since their 2-0 start.

CHICAGO (UPI) A preliminary examination indicated Wednesday that Chicago Cubs

catcher Randy Hundley will not have to undergo surgery on his injured right knee.
Dr. Jacob Suker, Cubs team physician, said
the cartilage appears to be intact.
Suker said more X-rays would be taken before a final decision is made. He said he could
not predict when Hundley would be ready to
rejoin the lineup.
Hundley was injured in a pinch-hitting appearance in Los Angeles on Monday.
NEW YORK Opening day home attendances for the 24 major league teams drew an all
-time high of 844,463 paid spectators, commissioner Bowie Kuhn announced Wednesday.
The American League openers drew a total of
427,327 compared to 417,136 for the National
League. The previous major league high was
723,566 set in 1970.
The Philadelphia Phillies topped the list by
drawing 55,352 for the opening of their new
Veterans Stadium last Saturday. Detroit, with
54,089 and Cincinnati, with 51,702, were next,
establishing an opening-day record for their
parks.

McCoveys Reinforcements Shine as Giants Trim Astros in 13

SAN FRANCISCO The Giants unveiled
their plan Wednesday for life without Willie
McCovey, and it was an unqualified if drawn-out
success.
Catcher Dick Dietz, the clean-up hitter in the
absence of McCovey, sidelined indefinitely with
a sore left knee, had three hits and knocked in
two runs. Frank Johnson, who replaced McCovey at first base, had a pair of hits, walked and had
an RBI.
The game deciding play, well, that was more a
fortuitous bounce of the ball than thoughtful consideration. Bobby Bonds, hitless in his first six at
-bats, tripled with two outs in the bottom of the
13th inning. He scored on Denny Lemasters
wild pitch to give San Francisco a 7-6 win.
About the only thing the Giants didnt do well
was play defense. Three errors, two by left fielder Ken Henderson, led to five unearned runs
against the ledger of starting pitcher Steve Stone,
who pitched seven innings.
Even with all that, the Giants took a 6-5 lead

into the ninth. Astros left fielder Bob Watson

sent the game in to extra innings with an RBI
single, one of his three hits.
Ron Bryant (1-0), the sixth Giants pitcher,
earned the win. Lemaster (0-1), the sixth Houston hurler, was saddled with the loss.
Phillies 5, Pirates 3
PHILADELPHIA Woodie Fryman pitched eight solid innings and the Phillies withstood Willie Stargells fifth home run of the
young season to beat the Pirates.
Fryman (1-1) scattered nine hits and fanned
eight. He was backed by Tim McCarvers three
hits, which included his second homer, and Joe
Hoerners second save.
Stargells fifth round-tripper was one of three
Bucs homers.
Dodgers 7, Cardinals 5
LOS ANGELES Bill Sudakis powered a
first-inning grand slam and Richie Allen
launched his first home run for the Dodgers as
Los Angeles clipped the Cardinals.

Burke Wants Yankees

To Stay in the Bronx
WASHINGTON The president of the New
York Yankees says he wants his ball club to
stay in Yankee Stadium, but regardless of developments he opposes a move to become a
Shea Stadium tenant.
Over the weekend it was suggested that the
Yankees and the New York Giants football
team join the Mets and Jets in Shea Stadium,
but Michael Burke says he does not think much
of the idea.
Burke said, in an interview here, that negotiations for a new lease at Yankee Stadium
would start almost immediately once the
State Legislature began consideration of bills
that would authorize New York City to improve the area around the House That Ruth
Built.
The bill, urged by Mayor John V. Lindsay,
would have the city improve the area around
the stadium, provide more expanded and better
parking facilities and help in modernizing the
ballpark itself.
There has been talk of the Yankees and Giants moving to New Jersey if the stadium situation is not drastically altered. Bronx officials
have expressed concern over the future of the

section if the Yanks abandon

the stadium.
Burke said he was optimistic if the city met the teams
requests that the Yankees
would stay where they are.

The gray-haired, modishly

dressed Burke is a vice president of the Columbia Broadcasting System, which owns
the Yankees.
He was interviewed during
the Yankees-Senators doubleheader here Sunday afternoon.
