Orioles trail Tigers by six on 2 -run single

By PETE ALFANO UPI Sports Writer Earl Weaver didn’t turn too many heads during spring training when he tabbed unknown Ellie Hendricks as a potential major leaguer and it took nearly two-thirds of the season, but, the Cleveland Indians are finally taking notice. Hendricks, a 27.year.old rook, ie who beat the Indians Wednesday night with a two-run homer, came through with a two-run single in the ninth inning Thursday night off 17-. game winner Luis Tiant to lead Baltimore to a 5-1 victory and move the Orioles to within six games of front-running Detroit. Hendricks, a native of the Virgin Islands, slammed 41 homers in the Mexican League last season and then added 15 more for the Puerto Rican winter league club managed by his present skipper, Weaver. During the spring, Weaver, when a coach with the Orioles, said of Hendricks: “I think he’s of major league caliber, he’s strong and he’ll hit them out.” Little Action Hendricks has played only briefly this season, going 17.for. 68 for a .250 batting average, including seven homers. His single followed a walk to Frank Robinson and a double by Boog Powell off Tiant, now 17-7. Hendricks scored on Brooks Robinson’s double and Robinson eventually came across on winning pitcher Dave McNally's sacrifice fly. McNally scattered six hits while posting his 14th win of the season against eight losses. In other American League action, New York edged Boston 1-0, Washington slugged Detroit 9.3 and Minnesota defeated

Chicago 4-1 in the only other games scheduled. In the National League, Atlanta topped New York 4-2, Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 6-1, St. Louis edged Philadelphia 2-1 in a game shortened after iVz innings because of rain, Chicago tripped Houston 4.1 and San Francisco blanked Los Angeles 2.0.

Bahnsen Wins It Rookie Stan Bahnsen hurled five perfect innings and yielded only three hits and Bill Robinson, subbing for Roy White, drove in the only run with

Rick Berry law

suit lingers on

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)— Basketball’s lengthy lawsuit between Rick Barry and the San Francisco Warriors went into the deep freeze tdday with no ruling scheduled until the end of this month. Superior Court Judge Walter Carpenetl heard final ar. guments Wednesday then said he was leaving on vacation this weekend. He added that he would decide the case by the end of the month. He is due back Aug. 26. The Warriors, a member of the National Basketball Assocla. tion, are suing to have Barry play another season for them or give them $812,000 in damages. The former University of

Miami star and NBA top scorer of the 1966.67 season signed a three-year, $75,000 contract in June of 1967 with the Oakland Oaks of the rival American Basketball Association. But he was restrained from playing with them by Judge Robert Drews who upheld the NBA’s option clause and ruled that Barry had snother year to go with the Warriors. Barry remained idle during the past season.

SAIGON (UPI)—A band of U.S. Marines two weeks ago shot and killed a white American male identified as a Marine who they said was leading Communist troops into battle, the Leatherneck patrol leader said Thursday. The Caucasian wore green fatigues, regulation webbed gear and a red sash around his waist and carried a U.S.-made M14 rifle, Marine Cpl. Charles H. House of Glendora, Calif., told UPI cameraman Charles Gerretsen. House said four of the five Leathernecks who saw the man

identified him from photograpns as a U.S. Marine missing in action since September, 1965. A fifth Marine, however, disagreed and said the white Communist soldier was an American civilian, also listed officially as missing. The Marines described the Caucasian as about five feet eight inches tall, sharp-faced with slightly pointed ears and with long brown hair combed back. The report from House’s patrol was the first concrete Indication of an American fighting on the Communist side

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI ) - Several speakers at a public hearing Thursday on post-high school education urged that more tax dollars and prestige should be given to vocational training. Robert E. Martin, education director for the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, said he was hopeful the 1969 Legislature could be spared a continuance of the battle over who should control vocational education and could proceed with plans for its growth. He said he felt students in the various institutes sponsored by the Indiana Vocational Techni. cal College “should have the same state support as tho^e students going to state-support, ed baccalaureate colleges.” Martin was one of about a dozen speakers before the morn, ing session of the State Policy

in the Vietnam War, although there have been numerous unconfirmed rumors. House, with the 1st Marine Division, said his nine-man patrol had set out on a reconnaissance mission in the lowlands around Phu Loc, about 12 miles southeast of Phu Bai, on July 13. It was two days later, he said, and they had “just finished eating” around noon “when I saw this Caucasian walking from behind a big rock.” “He wore green fatigues, regular webbed gear and a red sash around his waist,” said the Leatherneck. House said the man “held his rifle in the Marine fashion, weapon held out in front of his

Commission on Post High School Education’s second day of pub. lie hearings. The afternoon session dealt with witnesses on medical education. Gerald Kackley, supervisor of vocational training for Ham. mond, testified that graduates of the area vocational school there “find job placement easy” and have nearly 100 per cent placement upon completion of their work. He suggested some of the vocational courses now being taught in colleges might be turned over to area vocational schools, “thereby freeing col. leges to serve the overwhelm, ing number of applicants.’’

— Bainbridge

Kackley said secondary and post high school courses could be taught using the same equip, ment and facilities more often than is now being done.

body” and that “the VC or NVA (Viet Cong or North Vletnamese) were behind him.” House said the Caucasian glanced behind him, and that “this gave me time to go for my M16 (automatic rifle).” At the same time, he said, Lance Cpl. Perry C. Gordon of Baldwyn, Miss., “opened up, killing the VC or NVA and wounding the Caucasian.” The white man slumped, House added, and “was in pain.” He said the man cried out “help me ; help me,” twice. “He must have had 10 bullets in him,” House said. “I did as he asked—and shot him.” Almost simultaneously, he said, another Marine, Lance Cpl. Kim Wilker of Waseca, Minn., “threw a hand grenade which lifted the Caucasian off the ground.” The white man was “in his death spash” and “we were receiving heavy fire” from a ridge to the left, then “about 20 to 25 Viet Cong or NVA came charging down,” Walker said. House said he pulled his patrol together and “we high.

tailed it out of there.” House said that when the patrol members told their story to military authorities in Phu Bai, “they showed us pictures of people who had been missinii in action.” It was from these pictures, he said, that four of the five who had seen the man’s face identified him as one missing Marine, while the fifth pointed out another photograph. House said he and Gordon returned to the area three days later, but by that time “the bodies were gone.”
