Stanley Cup Finals Play Opens Today In St. Louis I 7 'Call Me Joe' And Positivc-ly n.iirontniT0 over the Blues. By Max Groonwaldi Despite reigning handily over the rest of the NHL's ex-pansion West Division for three years, the Blues have yet to win in the cup finals.

The series opener will be televised nationally by CBS. Game No. 2 is here Tuesday night, with the series then shifting to Boston Thursday second to Orr's 120. Esposito led with 11 in the Bruins' 10 games, one shy of the cup record of a dozen. Orr has scored seven, and the Blues' Red Berenson and Larry Keenan six each.

"BOSTON'S JUST a good all-around hockey team," Bowman said. Boston held a 3-1-2 season's THERE WILL BE OTHER victories for Joe Decker and there will be setbacks. But there will be nothing to equal that first sweet smell of success in St Louis (AP Boston's bruising Bruins, led by Bobby "He's The Difference" Orr, open the Stanley Cup playoff series of the National Hockey League here today against the St. Louis Blues. Certain to be forgotten at the drop of the puck for the 2 p.m.

EDT faceoff is the mutual admiration society formed by coach Scotty Bowman of the Blues and Harry Sinden of the Bruins. SINDEN CALLS the Blues a team against which "you participating in pitching a shutout.

And that shutout was at the of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who in 1969 were high in team batting, although only Noteleo Electric Shaver Owners work for everything you get" and "as sound on fundamentals as any you'll find." Bowman praised Boston as undeniably "best in the East." THIS WEEK ONLY! They have great firepower," "1 rf0 he said.

"Their goaltending is COMPLETE underrated and they have depth."

It thus would be appropriate to hear what Danny Murtaugh, the Pirates' manager, had to say after Decker's performance. "That young man knows something about this game," Murtaugh attested. "He is only 22 and I'll tell you something. He is not only blessed with a fine arm but he has great knowledge of baseball. Nobody could make as many good pitches as he did by accident." Decker retired 25 of the first 27 Pirates he faced and later declared "I knew I'd win.

I just didn't think any other way." But the victory as only by a 1-0 edge and was only the Cubs second triumph in 13 games at the Pittsburgh park. Before this season, Decker had hurled only 12 innings as a big leaguer but has a positive approach to his job of handling enemy batters. "I only know how to pitch one way," he said. "I have to be in command. You have to pitch that way.

During the first five innings I depended mainly on my curve ball and slider. During the late innings I had a sinking fastball and I was lucky. The Pirates couldn't guess when I was going to use it. That's the way of staying in command." Cubs' pitching coach Joe Becker commended Decker for his hard work which earned him that starting assignment. "Furthermore," Becker added "he had the determination that he was going to pitch just one place this season for the Cubs.

"When you shut out the Pirates with all their power you've pitched a great game." Decker left with one out in the ninth after Roberto Clemente tripled. "I didn't want to come out," Decker said. I was still strong." In came the veteran southpaw, Hank Aguirre. The next batter was Willie Stargell, who has had a slow start at the plate this year and he was taken out for a pinch-hitter. Bob Robertson was in for Stargell and Aguirre walked him.

Then Al Oliver sent a hopper to the mound and Aguirre gloved the ball. The hurler ran directly at Clemente, who was 20 feet off third base. Aguirre then threw to Ron Santo as Clemente broke for the plate. Santo's peg to catcher J. C.

Martin easily nailed Clemente trying to reach the plate. Phil Regan was summoned to pitch to Manny Sanguillen and preserved the shutout. The Cubs made Decker a free-agent draft choice in 1965 when he was a student at San Rafael, High School. Moving gradually through the minors, he didn't have a memorable season until he recorded a 1.56 earned run average pitching 63 innings for Tacoma at the close of the '68 campaign. Last year at Tacoma Decker was 10-10 (3.30 ERA) and 1-0 with the Cubs (3.00).

THE INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS return Thursday for series with Denver and Wichita. A preliminary game has been booked for Thursday when the Lebanon and Brownsburg high school teams meet at 5 p.m. Lebanon High's band will perform that night and the Shortridge High School musical group will entertain Friday night.

Although all of the tournaments on the PGA tour are stroke play, once in a while a smattering of match play favors competition. It happened two years ago in the final round of the Par 4, 425-yard 17th Hole At Champions' Cypress Creek Course, Houston.

Tex. Houston Champions International (to begin this year starting Thursday at the Champions' Cypress Creek course). In 1969 the International wasn't held, since the U.S. Open was played on the Champions course. The 1968 tourney saw vet eran Dan Sikes move into the 54-hole lead on the par-71, course.

He led Lee Trevino and Miller Barber by a single stroke. The heat was oppressive during that third round, and Sikes complained of dizziness several times. But his 69 didn't show it, and WHEN LEFT HIP TURNS PATH IS CLEAKEP FOR HA.NPS AT IMPACT. I Or 1. certainly Trevino's 66, the pip i and permitted Trevino the chance to par.

It's always best to get your ball in the hole first under these circumstances. Trevino's pushed shots on 17 and 18 are easily explainable. He was swinging the clubhead into the ball from too far inside the intended line, with the clubface "looking" to the right of the target. When the clubface, at impact, is pointing in the same direction that the clubhead is travelling, the ball will fly directly in whatever direction that is. A pull would result if the clubhead came into the ball from outside the with the1 clubface "looking" to the left of target.

What if you often push the ball? Well, you must do something to guarantee the clubface is aiming at the target at impact, and that the clubhead is traveling more in that direction. It could be that you are not getting your left hip out of the way at impact. If your left hip keeps sliding toward the target at this point, the path your best score of the day, was be yond reproach. The lightness of the aluminum shaft let do a revolutionary thing: We took some of the weight we saved from the lighter shaft and added it to the club head to give you more power. But there are other important things that make Spalding golf clubs special: The club head design.The club's overall balance.

The way it feels. Every club Spalding makes is totally engineered for greater distance and control. Spalding gives you the professional edge. It was Trevino who moved into a commanding position during the last round. While others faltered, the swarthy Mexican-American shot up the front side in 34, two under par.

He moved one ahead of Roberto de Vicenzo and went four up on Sikes and Jack Nicklaus. hands should take (parallel to the intended line) will be blocked. Your hands, and the clubhead, will move from inside to outside the line at impact and you'll get the push. Practice swinging so that your left hip has turned somewhat at impact. That clears the hands for a good lash at the ball.

This is a straightaway hole, but that doesn't make it easy.

There is a large sand bunker to the right of the fairway, just about the distance the professionals hit. It isn't safe to play too far left, for thick woods crowd in on that side. Also, there's a pond to the left of the fairway which will catch a hooked or pulled approach. Trevino and De Vicenzo, DEMONSTRATOR SALE ALL MODELS AND COLORS SO TO CHOOSE rnorvi AUTO-TRANSMISSIONS.
