Miller fires record 63 for Open REPUBLIC CITY TnAinnulBOiuo Monday, June 18, 1973 Grand slams give Brewers 15-5 Sox rout Associated Press Joe Lahoud drove in six runs with two home runs, including a grand slam, and Darrell Porter also hit a grand slam Sunday, powering the surprising Milwaukee Brewers to their fifth consecutive triumph, a 15-5 rout of the Chicago White Sox. The sizzling Brewers, who have won 14 of their last 15 games while taking over the lead in the American League East, posted their second three game sweep this month over the West Division leading White Sox. Porter's grand slam, following a single by George Scott and walks to Johnny Briggs and Lahoud in the second inning, gave the Brewers a 4-0 lead against Stair Bahnsen (7-6). Lahoud's slam off Rich Gossage highlighted a six-run outburst in the third. They were career firsts for both Porter and The latter added a two run homer In the sixth.

Milwaukee starter Jerry Bell, (7-6), was nicked for a run in the fourth on a double by Dick Allen and a single by Bill Melton. Bell worked five innings. The defeat was the 10th in the last 15 games for the White Sox, six at the hands of the Brewers. However, Chicago managed to hold its half game lead over Minnesota, which lost to Detroit.

Gardner (II. Brlnkman. i I BOB EGER Parent club helps Salt Lake Angels SALT LAKE CITY Minor league baseball teams exist primarily to develop talent for the big leagues, but they also like to win pennants. And this is the time of year when a lot of minor league pennants are won. It usually takes about two months for most clubs at the'Triple-A level to determine which youngsters are in over their heads and which veterans can't cut it any more.

Once such appraisals are made, some frantic wheeling and dealing takes place as everybody prepares for the stretch run. And the best wheeler-dealers are the ones who usually win the pennants. Salt Lake Ciity has been more active than anybody in the Pacific Coast League East recently, and though the Angels reside in third place at the moment they just might be the team to beat. They desperately needed bullpen help and went out and got it with the acquisition of veterans Aurelio Monteagudo from Hawaii and the promotion of Chuck Hockenbery from the lower minors. They picked up another proven starting pitcher, Dave Leonhard, from the Baltimore organization and they received word Saturday that they're getting outfielder Bobby Brooks back from the California Angels.

California probably takes better care of its Triple-A club than anybody else in the PCL. Earlier this year California took Winston Llenas from Salt Lake but sent local favorite Doug Howard in return. 'The other day California decided it needed another outfielder. Instead of raiding Salt Lake, the parent club obtained Rich Scheinblum from Cincinnati and sent Brooks to Salt Lake. When is the last time Phoenix got somebody from San Francisco without giving up anything in return? In fact, Phoenix already this season had to give up two of its best players- Chris Arnold and Charlie getting any bodies back from San Francisco.

Despite its artistic success, the San Francisco club has been forced to peddle off such name players as Jim Ray Hart and Sam McDowell for cash to help balance anemic bankbooks caused by sagging attendance. Hopefully, the big club is set, and Phoenix won't be raided too much more this summer. Phoenix made what appears to be a sound trade recently when it acquired catcher Danny Breeden and pitcher Steve Simpson from Hawaii for utility man Frank Johnson. The Giants needed defensive help behind the plate, and Breeden already has helped considerably The Giants also showed good sense when they refused to panic over slow starts by veteran pitchers John Cumberland and Jerry Crider. Both are starting to find their grooves, and they could be big factors in the weeks ahead.

The Phoenix club still is two players under the PCL limit of 23. With the designated hitter rule, a full roster isn't as essential as it once was, but Phoenix still could use -a utility infielder and another left-handed hitter. A left-handed hitting utility infielder would kill two birds with one stone. Phoenix entertains Tucson for five big games starting Thursday and once again the Giants are going all-out from a promotional standpoint. Thursday is Tee- Shirt Night.

Friday is Ladies Night. Saturday is Ten Cent Beer Night, and Sunday is Family Night. After that the Giants play 10 straight games with chance to gain some ground while Tucson and Salt Lake are knocking heads. RIVERSIDE, Calif. Bobby Allison smashed his 1973 driving jinx Sunday by winning the $90,000 Tuborg 400 stock car feature at Riverside International Raceway as other top contenders fell victim to misfortune.

Allison, a 35 year old from Hueytown, drove a Chevelle Malibu in a duel with Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough much of the warm day. Petty lost his lead when he hit a wall and Yarborough went out with a blown engine. Allison collected a $10,025 purse plus accessory money for his first Grand National victory of the year, a marked decline from 1971 when he won 11 and 1972 when he captured 10. And although Allison was the leading rookie qualifier for the Indianapolis 500- mile race this year, his car lasted only two laps there. Petty, the defending Winston "Cup series champion, staged a dramatic rally, driving a car which appeared to be a candidate for a demolition derby.

With his right front fender a shambles and his 1973 Dodge a mass of dents, the Randleman, S.C., veteran came on to capture second place. His spin into the wall and back to the infield on the 81st lap had left him well back and more than two laps behind the leader. During the early-going, Petty and Allison had switched the lead 10 times in 80 laps as they averaged 103.364 miles per hour over the 2.6-mile road course with its nine turns, Even with yellow flags out four times because of accidents, Allison averaged 100.215 m.p.h., a record for this race. He finished 73 seconds ahead of Petty, Gary Nixon dominates motorcycle road races Associated Press Schlee is runnerup as big names fade By BOB GREEN Associated Press OAKMONT, Pa. Young Johnny Miller quietly, sedately forged a record- eight-under-par 63 and strode past the struggling figures of the world's most renowned shotmakers to the United States Open Golf Championship Sunday.

The 26-year-old Miller described himself as "Joe Feast or Famine I get everything or nothing," after he Tht cards of first finishers: PW.Olir 543 435-M LOUDON, N.H. A former two-time national champion, Gary Nixon, of Cockeysville, ended a three-year victory drought Sunday by winning two major events at the National Motorcycle Road Races. Nixon, who was national champion in 1967 and 1968, won the 75-mile championship race at an average speed of 76.682 miles per hour. He also won the 50-mile lightweight race at an average 75.171 m.p.h. Srhleeout Weiskopf ouf Par In Miller In Schlee In WelJkool In 333 444 444-37 IS44 352 444-36 434 543 434-34 314 splashed his 279 total, five under par, on the Scoreboard about an hour and a half before the other major contenders finished.

"My score is on the board," he said. "Now those other guys know what they have to do." "Those other guys" included Arnold Palmer and Julius Boros, Tom Weiskopf and Jerry Heard, Jack Nicklaus and Lee Trevino. All were still out on the Oakmont Country Club course when Miller came home to a standing ovation for his best-in-history effort. None of them could do it. His 63 breaking the Open record of 64 set by Lee Mackey Jr.

at Merion in the 1950 U.S. national championship brought him from six strokes off the pace to possession of the world's most prestigious golf title. While Palmer, Boros, Heard and Weis- kopf all held or shared the'lead at one time or another, it remained for lanky longshot John Schlee to emerge from the multiple-man scramble and-claim second place. Schlee, a 34 year old journeyman tourist who scored his first victory in a decade of struggle earlier this year in Hawaii, finished with a hard-won 70 he opened the day's play iwith a double bogey and a 280 total. Then it was Weiskopf, the tall, smooth-swinging man who had won three of his four previous starts.

He was one of the last off the tee. and had a chance to at least force a tie until he missed a birdie putt on the 17th. Weiskopf finished with a 70 and 281. A trio of millionaires followed: the bitterly disappointed Palmer, attempting a comeback at the age of 43 in his home country of Western Pennsylvania; Nicklaus, the game's premier player trying to win a fourth American national title; and the jaunty Trevino, who loves this title more than any other. All were at 282.

Palmer had a shot at it all on the site of his 1962 playoff loss to Nicklaus until he bogeyed three in a row starting at the 12th hole. He birdied the last hole for a'72. Nicklaus never really got it going. He was just off the pace despite erratic play through three rounds and didn't jerk his game together until the final round. And his 68 just wasn't good enough.

Continued on Page C-4 Ontiveros- Williams duo keys Giant win By BOB EGER Republic Sports Writer Following those two were: Benny Parsons, Ellerbee, N.C.; Jim Insolo, Mission Hills, Cecil Gordon, Horseshoe, N.C.; and Richard White, Escondido, Calif. It wasn't until the 141st lap of the 153-lap race that Petty finally overtook Parsons and moved into the No. 2 spot. But with only 31 miles left in the race of 400.86 miles, Petty didn't have enough time left despite driving his broken car at a faster average speed than Allison during the final laps: Allison commented, "I know a lot of the other guys were having trouble, but we were running well all the way. Near the end I decided to save the car as much as possible and I didn't think anyone could catch me." By finishing third in his Chevrolet, Parsons maintained his overall Winston Cup lead.

Benny spun but recovered on the 143rd lap and even Allison had his troubles with the twisting course. He spun into the dirt on the 8th turn of the 68th lap, losing time to Petty, the leader at the point. And he had to go into the pits for some engine repairs late in the race, losing 65 seconds and helping Petty make up distance. Some favorites' went out earlv, including Ray Elder of Carruthers, the defending champion. Elder had crankshaft trouble after 12 laps.

Buddy Baker went out after six with oil pressure troubles and Bobby Isaac had a transmission malady after 37. The West's number one threat late in the race, Hershel McGriff, of Bridal Veil, went out on the 149th lap when his car's clutch failed. SALT LAKE CITY Steve Ontiveros has Salt Lake City's Angels talking to themselves. Steve Simpson has the Phoenix Giants patting themselves on the back. And thanks to their combined efforts the Giants own a 2-1 series edge over the Angels after a 3-1 victory Sunday night.

Ontiveros, who's threatening to rewrite the Phoenix record book in several categories, crashed a two run homer in the first inning to give the Giants all the offense they needed. And Simpson, the hurler obtained in a trade with Hawaii two weeks ago, pitched 8 innings of five hit ball as he visited the winner's circle for the first this season. The victory kept the Giants a half game behind Tucson in the Pacific Coast League East. Salt Lake fell three games off the pace. Albuquerque hasn't helped the Giants a bit, losing eight straight to Salt Lake and Tucson.

Ontiveros, the PCL's leading hitter with a .351 average, crashed a Don Rose fast ball far over the right field fence with Bcrnie Williams aboard in the first inning for his seventh home run of the season and fourth in the last four games. The Phoenix right fielder saw only one strike the rest of the night as he walked three straight times on pitches that weren't even close to the strike zone. "I'll take a one for one every night if it turns out like this," said Ontiveros. "I don't know why I hit so good against these guys. I just hope it doesn't stop." The Giants took a gamble when they acquired Simpson and his.Q-S record, and 22.50 earned run average from Hawaii.

1 He came along with catcher Danny Breeden in exchange for Frank Johnson. Simpson blanked the Angels' on five, hits until the 'ninth, when he walked Doug Howard, struck out Billy Parker and walked Bobby Marcano. At that point Davenport fetched veteran reliever Chuck, Hartenstcin, who got Bruce Heinbechner on a fly ball to left field, served up a run scoring single to Rich Stelmaszek and retired pinch hitter John Doherty on another fly to left. It was the longest stint in two years for Simpson, who set a Texas League record of 23 saves as a'relief specialist with Alexandria last season. The Giants, who have a 12-6 record against Salt Lake this season, scored their third run in the seventh inning on a walk.

to Skip James, a single by Breeden and a wild pitch by reliever Aurelio Monteagudo. Frank Riccelli (6-6) is scheduled to pitch for Phoenix tonight against Salt Lake's Rick Young (5-4). PHOENIX 5ALTIAKE. Rosarlo li Williams cf Ontiveros rf L. Brown pr-rf J.
