Pttge 10 Garden Pity Telegram Wednesday, April 25, 1979 At John 4-0 as Yanks Win By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer Tommy John was fit to be tied and untied. The new ace on a New York mound staff filled with aces chalked up his fourth victory without a loss Tuesday night, muffling Oakland on five hits as the Yanks beat the A's 3-1. "I just want to contribute.and do what I'm being paid for. I don't think of myself as an ace," John shrugged. "When you have five pitchers on a championship club, they're all good." John got a break when A's relief pitcher Dave Heaverlo broke a ninth- inning tie by heaving Thurman Munson's grounder down the right field line, giving the Yanks a pair of runs.

It not only broke a 1-1 tie, but it broke John's 87-87 tie with himself. The sinker-balling southpaw who had won 87 games as a National League star with the Los Angeles Dodgers posted his 88th in the American League. In the rest of the AL, Toronto silenced Texas 2-0 as Dave Lemanczyk tossed a one-hitter, Kansas City blanked Chicago 5-0, Boston beat Seattle 4-3 in 12 innings, Cleveland defeated Minnesota 7-2 and Baltimore downed California 72. The Detroit Tigers' game at Milwaukee was rained out with the Brewers leading 4-2 after two innings. John and Oakland's John Henry Johnson, 0-3, matched each other through eight innings.

But when Bucky Dent singled to open the ninth, Heaverlo took over. Mickey Rivers grounded out and Willie Randolph was walked intentionally before Munson hit a slow roller to the right of the mound. Heaverlo pounced on its but his wild throw allowed both runners to score. Blue Jays 2, Rangers 0 Lemanczyk, who had staggered through a 4-14 season in 1978 and hadn't won a game since last July 29, crashed out of his slump with the one-hit performance against the Rangers. He baffled every Texas batter except Pat Putnam with a steady diet of fastballs.

Putnam sliced a single to left field in the third inning to demolish any hopes Lemanczyk had of pitching the season's second no-hitter. "It was the biggest mistake I made," Lemanczyk said of his pitch to Putnam. "It was a fastball over the plate." Royals 5, White Sox 0 Willie Wilson's three stolen bases and two runs scored and his on-the-button throw from center field to nail Chicago runner Marvis Foley at the plate supported Dennis Leonard's seven- hitter for the Royals. Frank White homered for Kansas City in the first inning, then Wilson bunted for a hit, stole second and came around on two grounders in the third. Wilson also led off the fifth with a single, stole second and third and scored when Foley, the White Sox catcher, let a pitch get past him.

Red Sox 4, Mariners 3 Larry Wolfe's 12th-inning sacrifice fly stretched the Red Sox's winning streak to five games and Seattle's tailspin to nine. Unbeaten Dick Drago pitched 42-3 innings of scoreless relief for his third victory. Carl Yastrzmski hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning and also doubled in the second, when Boston scored its other run. Bob Stinson drove in all three Mariner runs with a homer and a single. Indians 7, Twins 2 Andre Thornton's two-run double in a five-run first inning against Roger Erickson and his solo homer in the seventh off Gary Serum led Cleveland past the Twins.

Rick Wise was peppered with 11 Minnesota hits but managed to go seven innings for the victory. It's the first time this year the Indians managed to win two in a row. Orioles 7, Angels 2 Jim Palmer's back acted up again, but not until the seventh inning. By that time the Orioles had a 7-2 lead, thanks in part to two solo home runs by Ken Singleton, off loser Don Aase in the third inning and Dyar Miller in the fifth. Rich Dauer homered off Aase in the first frame.

Baseball At A Glance NL 'Camp David I 11 By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer Joe Torre of the New York Mets and Joe Altobelli of the San Francisco Giants played their version of "Who's on first?" only this one wasn't very funny to either manager. "It was like Abbott and Costcllo out there," quipped New York infielder Richie Hebner after watching the act at Shea Stadium Tuesday night during the Mots' 10-3 victory over the Giants. The discussion between the two about a bizarre play at first base ended in what Torre called "a compromise the Camp David accord." But there was still some confusion over the details after 28 minutes of animated talk. "After you allow the man to second base, how do you call him out for not going back to first base?" Torre wondered a loud. This was the situation: The Mets had runners at first and third when Lee Mazzilli hit a fly ball to right that Jack Clark appeared to catch.

Hebner, halfway to second on the play, retreated to first only to find Mazzilli waving at him to reverse directions. Now it appeared that Clark had By The Associated Press' AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTING (35 at Del, Cooper, Mil, Smalley, Min, Lemon, Chi, Downing, Cal, .391.

Umpire Phil Lospitalier was still signaling 'out' when Clark relayed the ball to Bill Madlock, who stepped on first for what San Francisco thought was a double play. The Mets, however, had different ideas, claiming the dropped ball made both Hebner and Mazzilli safe.

Both teams howled and the umpires working in place of regulars who are involved in a contract dispute vacillated. Finally, they ruled Mazzilli out and ordered Hebner back to first. It hardly satisfied either Torre or Altobelli, each of whom filed a protest. Things were a little calmer around the rest of the National League Tuesday night, as Pittsburgh routed Cincinnati 9-2; Philadelphia edged Los Angeles 7-6 in 10 innings', St. Louis took a 6-5 decision over Atlanta and Montreal whipped San Diego 5-1.

The Houston- Chicago game was postponed by rain. Pirates 9, Reds 2, John Milner's two-run homer and a solo blast by Dave Parker helped Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati. The Pirates jumped on last-minute starter rookie Frank Pastore for two runs in the first Inning and four more in the fourth.

Reed's run capped a night of comebacks for both teams. The Dodgers built a 3-0 lead, fell behind 6-3 and tied it in the eighth with three runs to send the game into extra innings. Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda was ejected in the midst of a five-run rally by Philadelphia in the third inning. Lasorda questioned a decision by plate umpire Bob Nelson, who called Pete Rose safe at home on Mike Schmidt's single. Rose slid in and was tagged by catcher Steve Yeager.

AUTO RACES Season Opens April-28 Super Modified Double Show Late Model Stocks Every Saturday Night 8:00 p.m. DODGE CITY Merrick Auto Racing LAWRENCE JONAGAN poses with the turkey he bagged on the first day of the season Saturday.

Hill Culvert Jonagan Bags Turkey The number one was a lucky number Saturday for Lawrence Jonagan, Rt. 1. It was the first day of turkey season and Jonagan bagged his first turkey ever on that day. Jonagan, one of 100 persons to be issued a turkey permit in this area, shot a 13-pound turkey Saturday morning along the Arkansas River bed near Pierceville. Jonagan is a veteran hunter and said he has bagged deer, elk, bear and other game during his career.

He said this was his first turkey hunt. Jonagan didn't use a turkey call but credited patience during a four-hour wait and the camouflage in his clothing with his remaining hidden from the sharp-eyed bird. Jonagan said that about 9:15 a.m. the turkey walked toward him into range and he raised his 12-gauge shotgun and fired. About the same time and in the same area, Mike Gilbert, area manager for the Kansas Fish and Game Commission, shot an 18-pound turkey.

State Game protector Richard Harold said he wasn't sure how many of the 100 hunters got lucky during the first half of turkey season, which ended Tuesday, but said he saw several birds that had been taken over the weekend. Harold said each hunter who shoots a turkey fills out a card and turns it in to the local fish and game office. The cards are then sent to the state office in Pratt, where the final tabulation is made. The second portion of hunting season, in which 60 hunters will try their luck in the area south of US50 and west of K23 begins Friday and ends Tuesday. Hunting Seasons Set PRATT, Kan.
