Four Cubs Named To All-WIC Ball Team

Terre Haute North Cops State Ball Crown

1 AFAYETTE (AP)-No rain fell Monday when the Indiana high school baseball championship title was decided, but third-ranked Terre Haute North still swamped Indianapolis Marshall. 12-1. North’s Nate Mills, who finished the season with a 9-0 record, got in trouble only once in the title contest while striking out eight and allowing only four hits. In the third inning. Mills had loaded up the bases with one man out when John Crabtree, the hero of Marshall’s opener with South Bend Washington, brought in the only score for his team with a sacrifice fly. North's scoring was done mostly in the first and final innings. John W'inmski’s triple brought two runners across the plate in the first before he scored ahead of Gary McCabe’s two-run homer. I he loss went to Doug W ampler, who gave up eight tuns. He was replaced in the third inning by Crabtree who had things going his way until the final inning when North scored six more times. Terre Haute finished the season with a 25-2 record while Marshall dropped to 24-11.

Crabtree scattered three hits in Marshall’s 2-0 shutout of South Bend Washington in the opening game of Monday’s action. He walked only one batter and struck out nine. The only player on either team to get more than one hit was Washington first baseman Joel Finch. South Bend’s Dave Wood, who was tagged for the loss, also allowed only three hits. The Patriots scored first in the second inning when Wood, who signed after the game with the Chicago Cubs as a sixthround draft choice, hit the leadoff batter and walked the next three men to force in one run. Wood, who had a 9-3 record this year and a 1.10 earned run average, is to report Friday to a Brandenton. Fla., rookie league team. The terms of his contract were not released. North got to the title game by defeating Evansville Memorial, 6-4. Junior righthander Tim Mundy upped his record to 11-0 despite giving up seven hits and walking 11 batters. South Bend Washington ended up the year with a 18-7 record while Evansville left the tournament with 21 wins and six losses.

Moses Recruit Probe Begun

PETERSBURG Va. (AP> National Collegiate Athletic Association investigators are probing the recruiting tactics used by hundreds of colleges to acquire the services of schoolboy basketball sensation Moses Malone. Malone reportedly told the investigators that one coach offered him SI.000 under the table to sign. The 6-foot-11 center signed a grant-in-aid last Thursday to attend the University of Maryland The Richmond Times-Dis-patch reported in its Sunday editions that Malone had given

the NCAA investigators some damaging information on the recruiting methods of at least two schools. The newspaper said it had learned that Maryland wasn't one of them. The NCAA investigators, Lynn Nance, a former FBI agent, and Bill Hunt, a former Texas sportswriter and a graduate of Southern Methodist University law school, arrived here Friday - just 24 hours after Malone had signed the Maryland grant-in-aid. 7 Nance and Hunt spent most of Friday morning with Malone and his mother. Mrs. Mary Malone. the Times-Dispatch said

Malone refused to disclose anything about the conversation, just saying, “it was per-

sonal stuff”

Mrs. Malone, however, told friends about the conversation and one told the newspaper that. “Mrs. Malone said one coach offered Moses 51,000, which would be delivered to him through an intermediary. It is expected to be several weeks before Hunt and Nance complete the investigation and present their findings to the NCAA Committee on the in-

fractions.

The Western Indiana Conference has announced its honors squad for the 1974 baseball season, naming Greencastle Tiger Cub Kim Jones to its first team. The senior center fielder led the Cubs in hitting this spring with a 404 average, scored a club leading 19 runs, stole 23 bases in 26 attempts, and fielded a slick

.933.

Named to the ’all-con-ference second team were Cub third sacker John Allee and catcher Stacy Spencer. Allee. a senior transfer student from North Putnam, led the Cubs in RBI’s with 18, while maintaining a .352

batting average.

Spencer, a junior, provided fire and a strong arm behind the plate for the Cubs this year, while hitting .306. stealing 14 bases in 16 attempts. and striking out only twice in 60 trips to the plate. Cub first baseman Phil Fisher was named to the allWIC third team on the basis

501 000 6—12 0 f his .351 batting average

and .954 fielding percentage. Senior pitcher Rick Parrish was awarded honorable mention to the allconference team. The Cub workhorse threw in 14 of the team’s 16 games, compiling a 7-4 won-loss record and 2.30

ERA.

Both Spencer and Fisher will return to the Cub varsity nevt spring with hopes of improving on what must rate as a good year. T he Cubs finished with a 10-6 record as thev claimed second place in the WTC- and the sectional championship before falling to Clinton in the rugged Brazil regional tournament, from which state champion Terre Haute North emerged.

They will be joined by starting junior shortstop Randy Jones and sophomore left fielder Jeff Cantonwine, in addition to juniors Eric Losin and Kent Frazier, sophomores Bill Earl, Dan Losin, Tim York, and Jeff Pierce, and a strong B-team. “All in all, I think the season was a success,” reflects Greencastle Head Coach Jim Peck. “Anytime you finish second in the conference and win the sectional, it has to be a pretty good year. We won seven of our last nine games, coming back from a three and four start. “We had no pitching coming back this year at all. 1 thought Rick Parrish did an outstanding job, as did Bill Earl when we needed him. “Our hitting and baserunning were what I was most pleased with. Our defense hurt us. especially in that game with Clinton in the regional. We were pretty tight. “They're a good bunch of kids to work with. They helped us this year to get

started.” Peck does not use the 'us' as a modest reference to just himself. He is whole-heart-edly including assistant coach Gerald York. “Gerald deserves a lot of the credit for the success we had this year. He is wellliked by the boys. He knows basebail. He was able to make a number of helpful suggestions during practice and games that we could put into effect." “Some assistants just coach the B team and direct traffic. But Gerald did a lot of coaching that helped the varsity.” “With Gerald, it was just like having two head coaches.” As a coaching team for the first year. Peck and York guided the Cubs to a good spring. The outlook for next year, dimmed somewhat by the loss to graduation of Jones, Allee. Parrish, Mike Duncan, and Robert Plessinger, still looks bright, especially if the words of the head mentor are heeded. “Next year we’ll be even better.”

Cubs Error To Mets

CHICAGO (APt — Ninth-in-nmg errors by Dave Rosello and Jose Cardenal gave New York a pair of runs and the Mets went on to beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 Monday. With the Mets trailing 2-1, Jerry Grote drew a leadoff walk from Chicago starter Jim Todd, then Cleon Jones singled off reliever Oscar Zamora. 0-1. After Rusty Staub flied out. Ed Kranepool grounded to Rosello. But the second baseman let the ball go through his' legs, permitting pinch-runner Dave Schneck to score. And when right-fielder Jose Cardenai’s throw sailed past Bill Mad-

lock at third. Jones also scored. Don Hahn capped the inning with a double that scored Kranepool. The Cubs had taken a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning when Rick Monday and Cardenal both scored on Madlock’s infield out Monday and Cardenal each singled and Andre Thornton drew a walk to load the bases. Madlock then bounced up the middle and, by the time second baseman Ken Boswell fielded the ball and made a diving tag to force Thornton at second, two runners had crossed the plate.
