Holtzman Dazzles Dodgers With Third Career 1-Hitter
LOS ANGELES — The Billboard Top 40 hit
“When You’re Hot, You’re Hot” is sung by Jer-
ry Reed.
It could have been written by Ken Holtzman.
Holtzman, the Cubs’ superior southpaw, fired
a one-hit shutout Thursday night, leading Chica-
go to a 2-0 victory over the Dodgers.
When Holtzman’s got it, he’s got it. He no-hit
Atlanta in 1969. Thursday marked his third ca-
reer one-hitter. He hurled one at San Francisco
in 1970 (Hal Lanier singled in the eighth inning),
and earlier this season against the Mets (Bob
Aspromonte singled in the first ). He has crafted
four two-hitters and two three-hitters.
L.A.’s Wes Parker was the only man to reach
base against Holtzman on Thursday, singling
with one out in the fifth.
Glenn Beckert’s double in the third knocked
in the first run of the game. A Dodger error al-
lowed a second run to score on the play. Holtz-
man (13-3) fanned nine and lowered his ERA to
2.62.
Dodgers starter Joe Moeller (0-2) went the
distance in his first start of the season, allowing
two runs (one earned).
Giants 8, Astros 0
SAN FRANCISCO — Bobby Bonds pound-
ed two home runs and John Cumberland hurled
his first career shutout as the National League
West-leading Giants blanked the second-place
Astros.
Bonds homered for a 1-0 Giants lead in the
second, and struck again with a three-run shot
that capped a five-run rally in the third. He fin-
ished with five RBI.
Cumberland (6-3) tossed a five-hitter. Willie
McCovey returned to the Giants lineup from
the disabled list and went 2-for-4.
Houston starter Don Wilson allowed six runs
in 2 2/3 innings and fell to 8-4
Reds 10, Pirates 4
PITTSBURGH — Tony Perez homered,
doubled and drove in three runs as the Reds
thrashed the Pirates 10-4.
Perez’s two-run shot capped a three-run rally
in the top of the first. He later laced a run-
scoring double.
Cincy starter Don Gullet had to retire after a
76-minute rain delay in the fifth. Wayne
Granger (3-0), the fourth Reds pitcher, earned
the win with two scoreless innings.
Pirates starter Bruce Kison (0-2) allowed six
runs in four innings and absorbed the loss.
Bucs slugger Willie Stargell walloped his
40th home run, putting him 10 games ahead of
Roger Maris’ record pace in 1961.
Phillies 8, Expos 4
PHILADELPHIA — Ken Reynolds (6-3)
spun a complete game and hit his first career
homer as the Phillies downed the Expos.
Batterymate Mike Ryan had a home run and
four RBI. Montreal starter Dan McGinn (0-3)
was roughed up for six runs in six frames.

A.L. Set For Another Fall
WASHINGTON — The
annual defeat of the American
League in the All-Star baseball
game is now exactly four
nights distant. There is no oth-
er portent, if, indeed, past is
prologue and demonstrable
history is to be respected. On
July 13 at Detroit, the All-
Stars meet the National
League All-Stars again, and
the warning of further embar-
rassment to the American
League is clear.
One year ago at Cincinnati,
the A.L. All-Stars took a 4-1
lead over the National League
into the bottom of the ninth;
gloriously poised to end the
tyranny of the N.L. All-Stars
after seven consecutive de-
feats. But now there are eight,
with the National winning that
one, too, after a bit of a delay,
in the 12th inning.
For those who do not quite
care to accept eight straight
years of N.L. supremacy in the
All-Star game as conclusive,
but view it merely as flash
evidence, the National League
can call in exhibits B and C.
The N.L. has also won 12 of
the last 14 games, and five of
the last eight World Series.
The topic of the All-Star
game came up again the other
day when Curt Gowdy had on
his NBC Game of the Week
program Earl Weaver, the ban-
tam manager of the Orioles,
who for the second straight
year will be managing the
A.L. All-Stars. For Gowdy,
Weaver reiterated his philoso-
phy about All-Star pitching
staffs. As manager he is not
bound by the fans’ vote, and
can select his own pitchers.
Again this year, he didn’t
name any relief specialists to
the American League staff,
despite the 10 places for pitch-
ers on the 25-man squad. He
said he would continue to put
his trust in first-line starting
pitchers, despite last year’s
lesson in how they failed him
Page 2
in the late innings.
Weaver is one of the most
engaging men in baseball, and
undoubtedly one of its finest
managers. More than any other
man, he assembled the Balti-
more team that appears on its
way to a third straight pennant.
After the Orioles’ amazing
collapse in the World Series of
1969 against the Mets, Weaver
rallied them smartly to demol-
ish the even-tougher Cincin-
nati Reds last year.
But Weaver’s determination
to stock his 10-man All-Star
pitching staff exclusively with
big name starting pitchers in-
vites at least two complaints:
(1) that he is arbitrarily exclud-
ing from All-Star prestige 50
percent of the pitchers in the
league, some of whom far out-
strip starting pitchers in their
individual specialties; and (2)
that he is doing a disservice to
the A.L. cause.
It was an American League
tragedy last year that Weaver
went all the way with starting
pitchers, seven of them, in the
late-inning collapse against the
National Leaguers. Because of
his policy of excluding relief
pitchers from his selections,
there wasn’t a spot reliever in
the A.L. bullpen in those late
innings when there was need
for a relief specialist.
Instead, the A.L. went down
to defeat, with Weaver rushing
four starting pitchers into the
last four innings. He moved
Catfish Hunter into the game
in the ninth to protect the
A.L.’s 4-1 lead, and Hunter
was swatted for a home run
before he could get anybody
out. Hunter, a career starting
pitcher was out of there almost
before he was warmed up,
having given up three hits.
Weaver called on another
starting pitcher, Fritz Peterson
of the Yankees, to protect what
was now a 4-2 lead, but he
gave up a costly run on a sin-
gle by Willie McCovey. In this
bind, Weaver called on another
starting pitcher, Mel Stottle-
myre. The N.L. got the tying
run off him on a sacrifice fly.
Clyde Wright of the Angels
was, finally, the victim of the
N.L. All-Stars when they got
the winning run in the 12th.
Wright, a career starter, un-
used to the late-inning hours
like the other starters used by
Weaver, was in effect working
out of rotation. It is true that
the winning run scored in the
12th when Pete Rose collapsed
catcher Ray Fosse on that
throw to the plate, but it is also
true that the hit on which Rose
was trying to score was the
N.L.’s third hit of the inning
off Wright.
