10--The Cumberland News Tmsday, September 1969 Rod Laver Cops U.S. Open Crown To Complete Tennis Grand Slam Registers 30tti Straight Match Win Over Roche Adds Honor To Aussie, French, British Titles by WILL GRIMSLEY Associated Press Sports Writer FOREST HILLS, N.Y. Rod Laver, hitting his back- hands like a thunderclap, smashed young Tony Roche in a muggy, rain-interrupted battle of Australian icft-handers 7-9, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 Monday for a U.S. Open victory that established him undeniably as the king of! all tennis. It was the 30th straight match 1 triumph for the 31-year-old con-j tract pro from Queensland, hisj 13th tournament success of the; year and the final leg of the cov- eted grand slam.

In adding the American to the Australian, French and Wimble- don titles, he duplicated a sweep as a professional which only two men had achieved in the past- Don Budge in 1938 and Laver himself in 1982, both as ama-! teurs. Nabs Richest Purse The first prize ol game's richest--boosted Laver's earnings for the year to $105.030, making him the top tennis money winner of all time. There was another point of sa- tisfaction in the victory for the frail-looking pro with the shock of copper-colored hair and the left arm that is twice the size of his right. In seven meetings earlier this year, Roche, at 24, seven years Laver's junior, had beaten the rocket from Rockhampton, at Queensland village, in head-to head meetings. "I have seen them all from Bill Tilden down to today," one HE'S THE CHAMP--Australian Rod Laver holds his cup high after winning the U.S.

Last Match Delayed The final match, the ninth all-Australian men's final here in the last 14 years and the first all-lefty duel since Neal Fraser St. Louis Edges Phillies On Shannon Homer Slams Two Run Shot In Sixth PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Mike Shannon hit a two-run burner and veteran Jim Granl and rookie Chuck Taylor combined to pitch a four-hitter Monday night as the St.

Louis Cardinals defeated the Philadel- phia Phillies 4-3. Grant came on with the bases loaded and two out in the eigth and retired Rick Joseph on one pitch to save Taylor's seventh victory in nine decisions. The Phillies had loaded the bases on a pair of walks and a single by Ron Stone. Walks to Dave Watkins and Tony Taylor and Johnny Briggs' 10th homer of the season accounted for the hour, 35 minutes late because of a flash shower. When it was finally started, after a helicopter was flown into the concrete stands to dry the wet grass, only two sets and one game could be played before the action had to be stopped again for 30 minutes.

The center court was so chopped up that it looked as if Arnold Palmer had been prac- ticing nine-iron shots for two hours. Divots were as big as baseballs. Both players were cold and unsteady in the opening set and there were seven service breaks --a rarity in men's tennis--be- fore the set was finally decided in Roche's favor. The unseeded patchwork team of Darlene Hard of Los Angeles and Francoise Durr of France won the women's doubles with an 0-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over top- seeded Margaret Court of Aus- tralia and Virginia Wade of Britain. Woody Fryman suffered the loss, his 12th against 11 defeats.

The Cards scored in the third when Lou Brock singled with two out and scored on Curt Flood's double. Joe Torre walked in the fourth and scored on singles by Phil Gagliano and Byron Browne to make it 2-0. The Cards added two more in the sixth when Gagliano walked and scored on Shannon's 12th round tripper. two-run homer climaxed a four-run first inning and led the Houston Astros to a 9-2 victory over San Diego Monday night, snapping a four-game Padre winning streak. With the score tied 1-1 in the third, Johnson, a righthander who compiled a 16-4 record at Appleton of the Class A Midwest League this season, walked four batters to force in the winning run.

Tommy Harper walked and after he stole Tils 66th base, Johnson issued successive bases on balls to Danny Walton, Steve Hovley and Don Mincher. Steve Whitaker hit a first inuing homer for the Pilots and Buddy Bradford reciprocated or the White Sox in the second. After retiring the first two )atters in the ninth, Gelnar gave up singles to Luis Aparicio and Ron Hansen to put runners on first and third but then got Bill Melton on a fly out to end he game. Steve Barber, who worked he first seven innings, gained credit for the victory, his third seven decisions. San Diego ouslnn Crokins.
