over the Friars in his first major
league appearance June 26.
Friday night he subdued San
Diego with a five-hitter, allow-
ing two unearned runs and run-
ning his record to 2-0.
The Dodgers tagged four
home runs — by Maury Wills,
Willie Davis, Richie Allen and
Wes Parker.
San Diego starter Clay Kirby
(7-5) allowed five runs in six
innings and absorbed the loss.
Braves 9, Mets 2
NEW YORK — Mike Lum
tied a career high with four hits
and drove three runs as the
Braves routed the Mets.
Lum’s single in the top of
the first inning drove in the first
run in the game. He later added
a double and two more RBI
singles.
Ron Reed (5-9) went the
distance, allowing two runs and
scattering nine hits.
Mets starter Charlie Wil-
liams allowed five runs in 6 2/3
innings, and fell to 2-4.
Phillies 6-3, Expos 4-4
MONTREAL — Oscar
Gamble and Deron Johnson
hit back-to-back homers in the
12th inning of the first game,
and Bill Stoneman won for
just the third time in 13 starts
in the second as the Phillies
and Expos split a twin bill.
Montreal’s Ron Fairly lined
a game-tying two-run double
in the bottom of the eighth in
the opener, forcing extra in-
nings.
Gamble and Johnson both
picked on the first pitch from
Expos reliever Howie Reed (1
-5) for their round-trippers
that led to a 6-4 win.
Woodie Fryman (5-1)
pitched two scoreless innings
of relief to claim the victory.
Montreal scored all its runs
in the first inning in its 4-3
triumph in the nightcap. Bob
Bailey struck the big blow in
the frame, a two-run triple.
Stoneman (8-9) hurled his
seventh complete game, strik-
ing out seven.
Phillies starter Ken Reyn-
olds allowed four runs in 3 2/3
innings and fell to 5-3.
Bonds
From Page 1
manager Walter Alston called
Bonds “the guy who really
makes that team go.”
“No question,” Alston ex-
plained. “Mays is the heart of
the Giants but Bonds is the one
who fits it all together. He does
everything a good player
should do.”
Frank Lucchesi, the Phils
skipper, calls Bonds the best
young outfielder in the game.
“If I ever saw a player who
has the stamp of greatness, it’s
Bonds,” Lucchesi said. “He not
only is an excellent outfielder,
but he is a solid .300 hitter,
gets his share of homers, runs
the bases better than anyone
else and is a cinch to steal at
least 30 bases a year. To me
that adds up to great.”
Leo Durocher, the Cubs
manager, says virtually the
same thing, and Preston
Gomez, the Padres manager,
goes one step farther.
“He’s not more than a year
away from being a superstar,”
Gomez said, “and when he gets
there he’ll be at the top of the
list for a long time.”
How does the 25-year-old
Bonds feel about being passed
up in the N.L. voting?
“Sure, I’d like to play in the
All-Star game,” he said, “but
I’m not upset about not getting
Page 2
a chance this year. Heck, I’m
pretty young and maybe I’ll get
my chance later.”
Through Friday, Bonds was
leading the Giants with a .314
average, 62 runs, 46 RBI and
10 stolen bases.
Last year Bonds led the Gi-
ants in batting with a .302
mark, topped the club in hits
with 200 and hit 26 homers.
The year before, Bonds, in his
first full season, became the
fourth player in big league his-
tory to hit 30 or more homers
and steal 30 or more bases in
the same season.
His four grand slams this
season is one shy of the major
league record.
Bonds finished 1970 with 48
stolen bases and was second
topped the N.L. in runs scored
with 134. He grounded into
only six double plays all year.
Since joining the Giants in
mid-1968, Bonds has been pri-
marily a leadoff batter, but
with injuries to Willie McCov-
ey and Ken Henderson this
year plus the early blossoming
of rookie Chris Speier, manag-
er Fox has dropped Bonds into
the middle of the batting order.
He has responded admirably.
“What can you say about a
kid like that?” Fox asked. “One
thing I know for sure, he’s go-
ing to be around a long time
and he’s going to make a lot of
money playing this game.”
