The Mormon preacher from San Diego, leading money winner on U.S. pro tour, matched Ben Hogan's 15 year old record 68 over the rugged old links beside the North Sea for a 36 hole score of 140. But he couldn't Strong rallies by the once formidable big three Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Arnold Palmer posed the threat of a severe battle going down the stretch in (bis 103 year old grandfather of golf championships. The burly Nicklaus, a 4 1 pre tournament favorite, tore the sinews out of the tough back nine with a 33, eagling the 14th, and finished with a 69 for 145. Player and Palmer both surged back from shaky opening rounds with one under par 71s to remain in the thick of contention.

Player was at 145 and Palmer at 148. Four other Americans, ing a total of 6even, survived the midway cut when the field was reduced from 130 to the 70 players able to shoot 155 and better.

score by innings: Pirates 010 40 5 Tieers 412 4x ll Astros End Cards' Streak; Maris, Brock Save 2nd Game By MIKB BRYSON Associated Press Sports Writer A not too funny thing hap pened to St Louis' Cardinals when they ran up against the National League's patsies. They were beaten. And, it took a late rescue effort by Lou Brock and Roger Maris to prevent the rampaging front runners from being victimized twice by Houston's cellar dwellers Thursday night. The Astros, who've had a vir tual monopoly oil last for a month, used a two run triple by Denis Menke In the 10th inning to snap the Cards' seven game victory string, 5 4, in the opener of a doubleheader. They were on the road to re peating that feat, despite a club record six errors, when Maris' single and Brock's double each accounted for a run iri the eighth that let St.

Louis escape 8 7 in a bizarre nightcap. However, the loss didn do much to dim St. Louis' chances of turning the league race into a farce The Cards' lead was trimmed only half a game to 9tt. Other Scores In other senior circuit cames. Atlanta nipped Los Angeles 1 0 on Phil Nlekro's four hitter; San Francisco blasted Cincinnati 71; Philadelphia extended Pitts burgh's losing streak to six with a doubleheader sweep, 5 0 and 4 1, and New York edged Chi cago 1 0, before dropping the nightcap of a doubleheader 24).

Brock and Marls performed their heroics after St. Louis built a 6 1 lead during the first four innings then dropped behind when Houston scored three times In the fifth and Jimmy Wynn lashed a three run homer in the eighth. McLendon, Thompson Lead Milwaukee Golf With 66 MILWAUKEE, WIS. (AP) Mac McLendon, who won a PGA tournament the first time le tried and Rocky Thompson, looking for his first victory after five years of pro golf, shared the lead going into ond round of the 1200,000 Greater Milwaukee Open. McLendon and Thompson topped a swarm of subpar rounds Thursday with a pair of record 66s over the 6,155 yard par 72 North Shore Country Club course.

The three year old course, normally ravaged by stiff winds off nearby Lake Michigan, was more like a duffer's paradise as 40 players broke par and 29 played in regulation strokes. "The wind will make it completely different said the 22 year old McLendon, a rookie from Birmingham, Ala. who won the Magnolia Classic in his PGA debut. "When the wind goes up, tne scores go up." Most everyone elseigreed in cluding Dick Lotz, Fred Marti, and Red Horn, another PGA rookie from Overlook Park, Kan. All three were one stroke back of the leaders with 67s.

"The wind will be the whole thing," added Dave Stockton, who shot a 67 to pick up where he left off two weeks ago when he won the Cleveland Open. Julius Boros turned in a 71; Tom Weiskopf, second leading money winner on the tour, had a 72, and Lee Trevino, the U.S. a Open champion, had a 73. Things were almost as confut ing in the opener, where the Astros blew an early 3 0 lead before Menke's winning smash. Niekro baffled Los Angeies with his dazzling knuckleball and a speeded up delivery.

"I'm putting just a little more pep in my pitches, and it seems to be paying off," said JMiekro, who retired the first 13 batters before yielding a fifth inning single to Jim Lefebvre. Joe Torre singled home the Braves' lone run in the first, Hank Aaron was derived of becoming only the eighth man in baseball history to tut aoo or more homers wnen left fielder Jim Fairey hauled in one of his long drives at the fence. Aaron needs only one more homer to reach the coveted plateau. The Giants rode a single, double and homer by Dick Dietz and two run scoring singles by Ron Hunt in their rout of Cincinnati. Gaylord Perry, 8 6 scattered six hits as San Francisco backed him with an 11 hit at tack.

Willie Mays' double in the first inning moved him past Ty Cobb Into fourth place on the all time extra base hit DsL It;" was May's extra base hit of his career.
