1968 may see two 30 game winners

By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The major leagues, which haven’t had one 30-game winner since 1934, may wind up the 1968 season with two in one year for the first time since 1912. Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants and Denny McLain of the Detroit Tigers remained right on the time table over the weekend, Marichal beating the Houston Astros 42 in 11 innings for his 19th victory Sunday and McLain defeating the Baltimore Orioles 9-0 for his 20th Saturday night. Marichal is a few days ahead of the pace set by Dizzy Dean when he won 30 games for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1934 and McLain is just about even with the pace set by Lefty Grove when he won 31 games for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1930. Dean won his 20th game on Aug. 3 and Grove won his 20th on July 25. The last time the majors have had two 30-game winners in one season was in 1912 when Joe Wood won 34 games and Walter Johnson won 32. Marichal Scores Marichal, now 19-4, singled past third base with two out in the 11th inning to drive in Jim Davenport with the tie-breaking run and scored the second run of the inning on a single by Ty Cline. It was the 15th consecutive complete game for Marichal, who allowed seven hits, struck out five batters and walked one. Marichal had a 2-0 shutout until the seventh when Hector Torres beat out an infield hit and scored on Norm Miller’s double. The Cincinnati Reds defeated the New York Mets 5-3, the Chicago Cubs swept the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-3 and 1-0, the Pittsburgh Pirates drubbed the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1 and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 3-0 in other National League games. In the American League, the Baltimore Orioles topped the Detroit Tigers 5-1, the Cleveland Indians whipped the New York Yankees 3-2 and 4-1, the Boston Red Sox outslugged the Washington Senators 10-8, the Oakland Athletics shaded the Minnesota Twins 4-3 and the Chicago White Sox nipped the California Angels 2-1.

Lee May drove in three runs with two homers and Jim Maloney and Clay Carroll allowed only one hit—a double by Cleon Jones in the first inning—in the Reds’ victory over the Mets. Maloney received credit for his ninth victory although Carroll pitched hitless ball for the last four innings.

Cubs Take Two Randy Hundley drove in three runs with a two-run single and sacrifice fly in the first game and doubled home the only run of the nightcap as the Cubs swept their doubleheader before 42,261—the largest crowd at Wrigley Field in 20 years. Hundley’s single was the key blow of a four-run fourth-inning

rally which helped the Cubs spoil Don Drysdale’s 500th major league appearance in the opener. Hundley’s double in the fifth inning of the nightcap, following a single by A1 Spangler, dealt Don Sutton the loss. Ken Holtzman pitched a four-hitter and struck out 10 batters for the Cubs in the second game. Pitcher A1 McBean hit the first grand slam of his career in the fifth inning and Roberto Clemente and Maury Wills had three hits each to lead the Pirates’ 11-hit attack. McBean went the distance for his eighth victory as the Cardinals left 12 runners on base. Larry Jackson pitched a three-hitter and Tony Taylor had three doubles and scored two runs for the Phillies. Jackson, who had a no-hitter until Felipe Alou singled with two out in the sixth inning, scored his 10th victory of the season and the 37th shutout of his NL career. Horsemans victory LONDON (UPI)—Neal Shapiro was the only rider to come through a fault and out competition without an error Sunday as the United States team won the last chance stakes on the closing day’s competition of the Royal International Horse Show at Wembley Stadium.

Goossen a new slugger? By United Press International Greg Goossen, who has spent most of this season traveling between Indianapolis, Jacksonville and New York showed Sunday why he’s regarded as a potential major league slugger. Goossen drove in eight runs, blasting a three-run homer, a grands lam mer and an RBI single to power the Mets to a 10-2 victory over the Richmond Braves. In other International League action, Rochester and Buffalo split a doubleheader with Rochester taking the first 6-2 and Buffalo coming back in the nightcap 5-2. Toledo shut out Syracuse twice, 1-0 and 2-0 and Columbus took a doubleheader from Louisville 7-5 and 8-4. Goossen started the season with the Indianapolis Indians of the Pacific Coast League and was called up by the New York Mets after the season was just two days old. He shuffled back and forth, never quite fulfilling his promise as a hitter. His barrage carried Danny Frisella to an easy victory, his second since being sent down from the parent Mets last week for more work. Gordon Lund smacked a solo homer as the Red Wings drubbed the Bisons in the opening game of their doubleheader. In the nightcap the Bisons scored four times in the first inning to put the game out of reach. Toledo’s Jack Dilauro scattered seven hits in hurling his third shutout in a row and eighth of the season as he upped his record to 10-0. Mike Marshall pitched his second shutout of the year in the nightcap, allowing just three hits as he evened his record at 9-9.

Two leave Football League, one for money, one for age

By STU CAMEN UPI Sports Writer For Ben Davidson, it’s a matter of money. For Ron Kramer, it’s a matter of age. Davison, the mustachioed, star defensive end of the American Football League champion Oakland Raiders, walked out of camp Ttuupsetey, stopping on the way to inform General Manager A1 Davis he wants more money. Kramer, a 10-year National Football League veteran with the Green Bay Packers and Detroit, received his unconditional release from the Lions Thursday. “Ron has been a great player,” detroit Head Coach Joe Schmidt said after informing the 33-year-old, 6.foot-3, 240pound tight end of the club’s decison. “But, while he has played well for us, we had to make a decision at his position. We can carry only two tight ends during the season.” Decide on Gibbons The Lions decided to go with veteran Jim Gibbons, 31, and Charlie Sanders, 22, a high draft choice from Minnesota. Kramer joined the Packers in 1957 after completing a brilliant collegiate career at the University of Michigan. He played out his option with Green Bay in 1964 and joined the Lions the following year. He equalled his one season high of 37 receptions in 1966,but was hampered by injuries most of last season, catching only four passes for 40 yards. “I may make a few calls to some other clubs,” Kramer said. “But, then again, I may decide to call it quits and hang ’em up.”

Gillman is 57 years old and a teacher of much younger men' in the art of offensive and defensive pro football. He was plying his trade Saturday night as his Chargers of the American Football League scrimmaged with camp neighbors, the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. Suddenly he was slammed to the ground by New Orleans linebacker Fred Whittingham.

Thirty-three years later he is no match for the giants of the game on a football field. Gillman was attempting to separate two players during the scrimmage when Whittingham brought him down.
