Rudi laughed and uic Jrt tuoi cu. Aside from that, neither Gutendorf nor the 8415 fans had much to smile about There were moments, though. For example, Bora Kostic scored two goals and Norb Pogrzeba one. And when the Cardinals' pennant-clinching victory was announced over the public address system the crowd cheered wildly. When the final gun sounded, however, a silent crowd filtered home, contemplating the Oakland Clippers' 6-3 victory for Cards would wife have figured that the Broeg clinch it in Philadelphia? "Because Schoendienst, necessary.

Instead, their performance was reminla cent of their triumph over the Stars at Oakland the type of game in which a team gets the lead, makes the opposition take chances, stays relaxed and forces mistakes. 4 The Clippers followed that script perfectly. Their cue, how. ever, was not of their doing. With 10 i gone, Oak land's Dragan Djukic sent a cross past goalie Miguel Deli ma, who attempted to hand the bailout The ball whizzed by Delima, truck the leg of Joe Fuhr-mann, the Stars' rght full, back, and bounced into the goal.

"I thought Miguel would get the ball," a crestfallen Fuhr-mann said. "The ball came very fast. I was standing on one foot and I couldn't pivot to kick. I am very sad this happened." Yielding a goal like that unsettled the Stars momentarily, but they perked up and pressed the attack. The St Louisans appeared to be getting on top of the game when the Clippers were awarded a corner kick, a call that the Stars disputed.

Edgar Marin scored with a header off the corner kick at the twenty-fifth minute. Three minutes later, the Clippers took a 3-0 lead when George Lie-vano's seven-yard shot hit the left upright and bounced in. Pogrzeba brought the Start back with a header nine minutes before intermission, but the Clippers countered with aa TURN TO PAGE 7, COLUMN $1500 Shares For 9 Clippers NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (AP) Nine members of the Oakland Clippers received a full share of $1500 for the team's victory over Baltimore in the first National Professional Soccer League championship series, it was announced Hockey Club Trims Blues' Rookies Miss Goal By Wally Cross For some people at this time of year, the telephone's ring or a visit to the front office is like a jail sentence.

'When The Man Was a Boy Mrs. Schoendienst has been through four previous Series with Red, the first in 1946 when they were just dating. So their first one as husband and wife was in 1957 at Milwaukee, where the Braves also won in '58. Red coached for the 1964 Cardinals.

"As you get older, things take on more meaning for you," Mary said slowly, thoughtfully, indicating that she savored this one the most One of her guests at last night's party, where they broke out the champagne, a buffet and pennant-decorated sheetcake, was the wife of Redbird general manager Stan Musial. Lil Musial, taking the phone, recalled the only time previously she had been to a victory party for the players' wives. She'd thrown it herself in 1946 just after the second game of the pennant playoff at a time the Musials rented a house on Mardel, just west of Watson in southwest St. Louis. "It wasn't nearly as nice as this one, either the place or the food and drinks," said Lil, laughing, "because we didn't have the room and I couldn't afford it When nine men of our two families came out for the Series that October, I wound up sleeping on the floor and sent Stan over to a kind neighbor's house so he could get his proper rest." Mrs.

Musial, though delighted like her hostess and the wives of the players, said her feeling was "naturally different" from Stan's first Series, 1942. After all, the young couple from Donors, earned more money that one week ($6000) than in the entire season "I was so scared of the big city, coming in as a young girl from a small town," Lil recalled, "but Dot Walker and Mary Marion took me to the ball game and I found what Mary Schoendienst and I know and these young wives of the present Cardinals have discovered. "St Louis is a warm, wonderful town." One Discouraging Moment Mary Schoendienst moved her family into her new colonial-, style five-bedroom home on June 8. Ten days later, the Cardinals moved into first place. "Red was terribly preoccupied and hopeless," his wife re- called with a light laugh.

Intrepid Scores Sweep As British Bid for 1970 The Clippers received 60 per cent and the Bays 40 per cent of the $29,344.28 player pool. In addition, the Oakland management contributed $3000 for its players.

Twenty-one Baltimore players received $502.69 each. Soccer Suspended luiMsn vauiner ANKARA, Sept. 19 (AP)-The Turkish cabinet, meeting In emergency session early today, decided to suspend temporarily Second Turkish Soccer League games. The meeting, presided over by i Minister Suleyman Demirel, took the action after a soccer riot in the central Turkish city of Kaysery Sunday in which at least 41 persons were killed. IT'S REP HE'S HOT QjjNDER THE COLLAR the next 30 days will receive equal consideration under the cup rules.

One may come from Greece. William Strawbridge, head of the I a 1 syndicate, said Baron Bich had offered to buy the victorious American sloop. But Strawbridge said, "Intrepid is not for sale at this time and certainly not to any foreign country." Yesterday 's race finally brought the conditions the Australians had been waiting for: 12-knot winds from the southwest that moderated to 10 at the race's end. But at the first mark, Intrepid led by one minute, 35 seconds. After three more legs, Intrepid led by 4:06.

But on the fifth leg, a run downwind, Intrepid fell into a dead spot and Sturrock had cut her lead to 2:24 as the yachts turned upwind for the finish. Dame Pattie now was In just the conditions the Aussies said they wanted but Intrepid showed she liked it better. At the finish she was 3: 37 ahead. 1 1 It's great to be a professional athlete. The best hotels, fast planes, big cities to visit.

It can be that way when you're a Gor-die Howe or a Bobby Hull or a Glenn Hall. But what do you do if your name is Rich McClocklin or Bob McAlpine or Roy Pyke or Tom Smola or Lome Knowles or Bob Delcourt or Jim Kennedy and you learned yesterday that your talents don't measure up to the qualifications set by the National Hockey League's St Louis Blues? Or what do you do if your name is Tom Bend and you're faced with the fact that the only job open to you is that of spare goalkeeper with the Blues' Kansas City farm team? Bend, who was All-State and All-Conference goalie at Bemid-ji State College last year, has a physical education degree to fall back on if he fails to make it in the pro ranks. But since he's only 23 years old and single, Tom would prefer the life of an athlete to that of a teacher for at least a few more years. "I know my chances of sticking with the Blues are slim," admitted Bend, after a training camp i at The Arena. "But if I can just get that job at Kansas City, maybe I can gain enough experience to make it as a regular someday.

"My dad played for Lynn Patrick at New Haven right after the war and someday I'd like to be able to say the same thing." The Blues are set in goal, with Glenn Hall and Seth Martin scheduled to share the du-ties with the big team and young Don Caley assured of the No. 1 spot at Kansas City. That means Bend will have to beat out Yvan Houle and Tim Tabor for the other spot at Kansas City. Despite the release of the seven amateur players yesterday the Blues' 52-man training-camp roster was reduced by only one due to the arrival of Kansas Dry player-coach Doug Harvey and the addition of five free agents, including defenseman 'IS It aa Sat 8 aa a atea Coctails Dinner First Race 8 p.m. America's Cup Facts, Figures NEWPORT, R.I., Sept.

"Our feeling is one of almost awe with the boat and sails we were given to work with. There is no question in my mind we had the fastest 12-meter yacht in the world and the best crew in the world." Undaunted by America's decisive twentieth straight victory in defense of the cup over 116 years, the British challenged for the trophy minutes after Commodore Percy Chubb of the New York Yacht Club stepped ashore.

The challenge, for 1970, came from the Royal Dorset Yacht Club of Weymouth, England. Another challenge is expected from Baron Marcel Bich, a Frenchman. France never has challenged before.

And they didn't need me. They had good luck and God's grand blessing." Had Red ever been discouraged mis season? "Just once that I can recall," said Mrs. Schoendienst.

"It was a Saturday, I remember, late in July and the Cardinals, after rallying to tie in the ninth, lost an extra-inning game that Red couldn't shrug off." Mary remembered well. The Redbirds lost in 13 innings to Atlanta here July 22, 6-5, when Schoendienst permitted righthander Jack Lamabe to pitch to lefthanded-hitting Tito Francona at a time he had southpaw Al Jackson warmed up in the bullpen. Apparently Red was second-guessing himself at home. "He didn't explain," Mary said, "but I could tell he was miffed and he became even angrier when he tried to mow the lawn afterward, broke the rope on the power mower and got covered with oil. "He came inside and snapped, Why don't you cover your potatoes? You're burning "I tried to soothe him by giving him a job he likes on the indoor grill he had designed.

Intrepid, the American defender, saw to that yesterday by giving the Australian challenger, Dame Pattie, her fourth and final defeat.

The winless Dame put up a game fight in the moderate winds for which she was designed. But; as Jock Sturrock, her skipper, said after the race: "We didn't go fast enough. "When we arrived in the United States we were confident, but we knew we had a tremendous task. But there is no doubt the best man, the best crew and the best boat won the -America's Cup."
