for the sixth time in seven games. Dave Bos-
well improved to 3-0 despite allowing six runs
in eight innings.
Mike Paul (0-1) yielded 12 runs in seven
frames in his first big league start of the season.
Yankees 6, Red Sox 4
NEW YORK — Roy White belted two home
runs and Stan Bahnsen went the distance to
even his record at 6-6 as the Yankees topped
the Red Sox.
White put New York up 2-1 with a two-run
homer in the bottom of the first. His solo shot in
the seventh was the final run of the game.
Bahnsen turned in his sixth complete game.
Boston reliever Ken Brett (3-3) allowed two
runs in two innings and took the loss.
Tigers 4, Senators 1
WASHINGTON DC — Norm Cash contrib-
uted four hits, including his 26th homer, tied for
the loop lead, as the Tigers bested the Senators.
Detroit topped former teammate Denny
McLain (4-13) for the second time in three
CINCINNATI — Granted, it wasn’t akin to
the 1965 Northeast blackout. But it was a head-
scratcher.
With the All-Star break just days away, how
was it that slugger Donn Clendenon, the Mets’
power provider in the 1969 World Series, hadn’t
hit a home run in 1971?
The question became moot Saturday night
when Clendenon broke a 2-2 tie with a solo shot
in the top of the 10th inning, lifting the Mets to
their eighth consecutive win, 3-2 over the Reds.
Fireman supreme Ray Sadecki (8-1) earned
the win with two scoreless innings. Cincinnati
reliever Tony Cloninger fell to 5-7 with the loss.
All three Reds runs came on solo homers, two
by Lee May (Nos. 25 and 26).
Pirates 5, Braves 3
PITTSBURGH — Steve Blass scattered nine
hits and became the National League’s third 13-
game winner as the Pirates topped the Braves.
Blass (13-3) notched his fourth consecutive
winning decision with his eighth complete
game. Al Oliver gave him an early cushion
with a two-run homer in the bottom of the first.
Atlanta starter Phil Niekro (4-7) lasted just
four frames, allowing four runs.
Dodgers 3, Giants 0
LOS ANGELES — Don Sutton led the
Dodgers to victory over the Giants, shutting out
San Francisco with 10 strikeouts for the second
time this season.
Sutton (12-6) blanked the Giants in identical
fashion May 27.
The Dodgers scored all their runs in the
fourth inning against Gaylord Perry (9-7). Mau-
ry Wills capped the rally with a two-run single.
Astros 6, Cardinals 5
ST. LOUIS — Denny Lemaster wiggled out
of a ninth-inning jam, retiring the final two bat-
ters with the tying run on base as the scorching
hot Astros edged the Cardinals.
With Wade Blasingame (6-3) on the hill,
Houston led 6-3 after 8½ innings. Lemaster
retired Ted Simmons and Joe Torre on fly balls
to secure the Astros’ 15th win in 20 games.
St. Louis starter Reggie Cleveland (8-9)
allowed four runs in seven innings.
Phillies 6-4, Expos 1-1
PHILADELPHIA — Woodie Fryman scat-
tered nine hits in the first game, and Rick Wise
spun a four-hitter in the second as the Phillies
swept the Expos in a doubleheader.
Fryman (6-2) was buoyed by a three-run first
-inning rally, capped by Don Money’s two-run
single. Loser John Strohmayer (4-6) was
touched for five runs in 4 2/3 innings.

5 a.m. to announce his retire-
ment and said:
“I have never told anybody
this before — but the operation
on my eye left me partially
blind.”
Conigliaro underwent sur-
gery on his left eye following a
1967 incident in which he was
hit by a pitched ball.
Conigliaro added that he
“needed a rest and was going
back to Boston.” He then left
and took a 7:55 a.m. flight out
of Oakland where the Angels
had lost 7-0 Friday night.
Angels manager Lefty Phil-
lips, already plagued by the
loss of outfielder Alex Johnson
through suspension, made this
comment on Conigliaro’s sud-
den decision to leave the team:
“Apparently his lack of suc-
cess has been bothering him.
The easiest way out is to quit.”
Phillips had been even less
flattering after Friday night’s
game, when he told writers
that Conigliaro “is ready for
the insane asylum.”
Asked if he wanted to be
quoted, Phillips replied:
“Yes.”
In Friday night’s game Co-
nigliaro went 0-for-4, striking
out twice and lowering his
average to .219.
“This is the end of Tony
C.,” Conigliaro said. “I’ve
learned that health is more
important than money.
“I just can’t see the ball. I
have no depth perception at
all. I have a blind spot.
“The easiest thing for me to
do would have been to stick
with the club, tell Lefty Phil-
lips I was sick and collect the
rest of my $80,000 for the
year.
“This way, I’m giving up
everything, half my pay. But I
think I’m doing what is best
for everyone, including my-
self.”
Billy Conigliaro Claims Yaz
Ran Tony Off the Red Sox
NEW YORK (AP) — Billy
Conigliaro of the Boston Red
Sox reacted to the announced
retirement of his brother Tony
on Saturday by blaming team-
mate Carl Yastrzemski for
many of the club’s problems.
“Tony was traded because
of one guy — over there,”
Billy said in pointing to Yaz in
the clubhouse after the Red
Sox’s 6-4 loss to the Yankees.
“You can quote me because
I don’t care,” Billy said. “I
know I’m next.”
Tony was traded to the Cal-
ifornia Angels after hitting 36
homers and driving in 116
runs last season. He an-
nounced his retirement Satur-
day because of failing eyesight
and other problems.
Billy charged there was a
conspiracy on the Red Sox,
naming Yastrzemski, Reggie
Smith, and the team equip-
ment manager.
“It’s about time they —
owner Tom Yawkey and eve-
rybody — woke up,” Billy
said. “They baby certain play-
ers on this team.”
Billy said his brother’s trou-
bles with the Red Sox began
when he yelled at Yastrzemski
in Milwaukee last year.
“Yaz didn’t run out a dou-

Last year as a rookie major
league manager when he was
first called “Sparky Who?”
Anderson watched the All-Star
game in Cincinnati from the
stands, but said he felt he was
quite involved in the contest.
“I got so nervous, especially
in the ninth inning when the
National League tied the
game. I thought I would die
with the heat.”
He’ll be in the kitchen this
year.
Anderson is hopeful for a
turning point for the Reds this
year and a chance to manage
the All-Stars again in 1972.

ble play ball — he jogged —
and Tony yelled at him for it,”
Billy said. “Tony was the only
one to speak up to him because
he had guts and that play in
Milwaukee started it. Nobody
else has enough (bleep) to say
anything to him.”
Billy who has been pla-
tooned with Joe Lahoud for the
last month, blamed Yas-
trzemski for his losing regular
status.
“He got me benched,” Billy
said. “Who else got me
benched? One guy — him.
Didn’t he say in the papers that
I should be benched? And I’m
supposed to play with these
guys. Yaz criticized my play-
ing in center field and Reggie
said Lahoud should be batting
second in the lineup. How else
could Lahoud play unless I got
benched? I’ve felt ever since
spring training that I was on
trial every time I go to bat.”
In referring to Yastrzemski,
Billy blamed the Boston left
fielder for the firing of Johnny
Pesky as manager and the trad-
ing of Ken Harrelson and To-
ny.
“First Pesky, then Harrel-
son, then Tony are gone be-
cause him,” the younger Co-
nigliaro said.
