Rigney Calls On Outfielder In Relief Role I By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Sadder but wiser Bill Rigney t was forced to agree today that I Willie Smith is not the new Babe Ruth. The Babe set several records I as a lefthanded pitcher before I being converted to an outfielder and no pitcher-outfielder since I has ever approached Ruth’s I combined proficiency at the two positions. Smith also is listed as an I outfielder-pitcher 4/ith the Los I Angeles Angels. That is he was I until Monday night He might I be strictly an outfielder today. And here’s why: The Angels were leading the Cleveland Indians, 3-2, and Smith was minding his own business in right field when the Tribe began kicking up in the bottom of the eighth inning. Joe Azcue singled off Bob Lee, advanced to second on an infield out and scored the tying run on Dick Howser’s single. Calls In Smith Rigney called time at this juncture and whistled in Smith from right field to relieve Lee. Poor Smitty made only three pitches and two of them were belted out of the park. Vic Davalillo lined out on the first one and Leon Wagner walloped the next one for a tworun homer. Rookie Bob Chance smacked Smith’s third pitch for another homer that upped Cleveland’s margin to 6-3, which was .the final score and which” also convinced Rigney that maybe he was better off when Smith was in right field. Wagner’s homer was his 13th and he also singled home a rim in the sixth against his former teammates. He now leads the majors with 46 RSl’s. Chance’s homer was his sixth of the season and fourth in three days. Ted Abernathy picked up his second victory ip relief while Lee was tagged with his third loss. - Other AL GAmes Kansas City squeaked by Washington, 5-4, despite three homers by Jim King, and De- , troit defeated Minnesota, 10-5, in the only other American League games. Only two were played in the National League where Sandy ♦ Koufax pitched a four-hitter in leading Los Angeles to a 2-1 triumph over Cincinnati, and Milwaukee beat Houston, 5-3. Rain washed out the St. LouisSan Francisco contest. Two of King’s homers came off winning pitcher Moe Drabowsky and the third off reliever John Wyatt but they failed to offset a winning fourrun rally by Kansas City in the eighth. Loser Jim Duckworth, who took over the pitching for Washington when Claude Osteen’s elbow tightened in the eighth, yielded a two-run single to Rocky Colavito and a two-run homer to George Alusik. Ed Charles and Don Zimmer also hit homers. The Tigers’ victory over the Twins was only their second in the last 10 games. They routed loser Jim Roland (2-4) in the third inning after Don Demeter homered with one on and Norm Cash with two men aboard. Knocks In Four Deme*er drove in- four runs With three hits and Al Kaline contributed three hits as well as a brilliant back-handed catch in the eighth that started a double play and helped Dave Wickersham to his seventh victory. Koufax. making his first start; since his no-hitter against the Pnulies last Thursday night, had a perfect game going against the Reds until Deron Johnson homered in the fifth to put Cincy ahead. 1-0. But Willie Davis singled home Koufax from second base to tie the score in the last of the fifth and John Roseboro’s double scored Tommy Davis with the winning run in the sixth. The victory was Sandy’s seventh against four losses. Jim Maloney gave up six hits in seven innings in suffering his seventh setback compared with three triumphs. * Hank Aaron’s two-run homer in the first inning started Qie Braves on their way to victory over the Colts. Felipe Alou chipped in with a pair of doubles as Tony Cloninger scored his fourth win" with Billy Hoeft’s help in the ninth. Skinny Brown (1-6) was the loser.
