Saturday, May 13. 19S7 27 Palmer Nearly Perfect Despite Aching Arm Evening Journal. Wilmington, Del. 1 ttv viiiiiiiiiif if iwM-rm vn? Faces Only 27 Batters In 1-Hitter By United Press International Jim Palmer and his Baltimore teammates have found those Yankee pinstripes to be as cheerful to the soul as Dodger blue. The 21-year-old Palmer, who achieved national prominence last October when he beat Sandy Koufax and blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-0 in the second game of the World Series, turned in his best pitching performance since that date Friday night when he stopped the New York Yankees on one hit in a 14-0 Oriole rout.

Palmer was nearly perfect in notching his second victory in three decisions as he retired the first 18 batters to face him and pitched to the minimum 27 batters in the game. The only hit the Yankees managed off Palmer was a seventh-inning single by Horace Clarke, but he was erased when Tom Tresh hit into a double play. DESPITE his sparkling performance, Palmer was still complaining after the game about a soreness in his arm that has been plaguing him since late last season. "A lot of people probably don't believe me, but it really hurts, especially when I throw a fast ball. I just can't throw as well as I did a year ago," he said.

Another young man that caused quite a lot of commotion yesterday was St. Joseph's Vince Papale.

The Middlet3wn-Newark match-up, which has been urged in some quarters ever since both teams went undefeated through nine games last season, was made possible when Middletown shifted its game with Seaford slated for Nov. 17, to earlier in the season.

As the schedules now stand, Middletown will face Newark and Salesianum back-to-back, playing the Sallies at Baynard Stadium Nov. 23, while Newark winds up its Blue Hen Conference campaign against Christiana on Thanksgiving Day.

Max Alvis drove in five runs enth and there are 12 golfers within that range. The Standings also took the first heat of the 220 in :22.5 and the first semifinal heat of the 220. All three wins were by scant margins. However, his defeat in the 440, an event that he has not entered this year, could have been his best effort. Leading by a stride with 80 yards to go, his legs tightened up.

VISIBLY hobbling the last 80 yards, Ardinger managed to finish third, beaten by just a few yards. "My legs just plain knotted up," Ardinger explained. "I eased up because I knew that I was more valuable to the team in the short sprints. If I had kept going at top speed, I might have injured myself and had to pull out of the 100 and 220." Although his times were not that impressive in either the 100 or 220 (compared to his meet record of :9.5 in the 100 and :21.0 in the 220), they were good lots of rest since his last appearance on May 7. "I have always been able to come off the bench and hit the ball," the Reds' catcher told newsmen.

"I don't know what it is I just have it." SOUTHPAW Dick Ellsworth held the Reds hitless for four innings before giving up two runs in the fifth. He was knocked out in the sixth when Pavletich singled in the winning runs. The Phils scored their runs when John Briggs singled to right with one out and Rich Allen walked.

The 25-lap Atlanta (Lemaster 2-1) at most everyone loves to see the come-from-behind win, and Ardinger has to do just that every-time he leaves the blocks. Net Lead Taken By Brandy wine accounted for the other run.

THE Phils jumped on Ellis for two runs in the first inning, but couldn't do much good after that and the Reds wound up with a happy pair of battery mates. Ellis, who is making a comeback after a disastrous 1966 season, gave part of the credit for a modified windup observers describe as Vsort of a rocking motion." "The way it went tonight I just might use that windup for a long time," the Cincinnati righthander said. He experimented with the same windup in 1966, but that was the year things were just going wrong. "I threw the ball like I used to," he said after his third victo-ry-and third complete game-in five decisions. "I am throwing a hard curve and it proved effective.

In fact, I threw good curves throughout the game and that included my knucklcr-curve." Pavletich said one reason why he hit so well was that he's had triumph in six decisions.
