Carty, leading the league with a .427 average after Saturday's game, now must depend on a write-in campaign to gain a berth among the starters for the annual baseball classic that will be played this year at Cincinnati on July 14.

The omission of Carty, who also has a 27-game hitting streak, from the NL nominating list followed the pattern set last week with the release of the American League nominees. In balloting for the AL team, Detroit's Al Kaline turned up among the missing. The results of the latest balloting were announced Sunday by Commissioner Bowie Kugh and, besides the glaring omission, showed the Chicago Cubs leading the way with every starter except one nominated. The Cubs' entire infield of Ernie Banks, Glenn Beckert, Don Kessinger and Ron Santo, outfielders Billy Williams and John Callison and catcher Randy Hundley gained places on the ballots. Every team has at least one nominee among the 48 players range for the Knicks.

World 600 at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway, May 24th. When he left Florence, Petty was picked up in a private car by his wife and friends. They were headed home for Randleman, N.C. Crew chief and brother, Maurice, will be busy the next two or three weeks. Three Plymouths were totaled at Darlington.

On the first day of qualifying, Petty was practicing after he had qualified seventh fastest in a winged Superbird. Coming off the same fourth turn, he went into a wild ride when the car smashed against the wall.

Billy Conn knows how they feel. So does Sam Snead.

The 1964 Phillies belonged to the club. So do the San Francisco Giants, the University of Wisconsin Rose Bowl teams, Jim Ryun, the runner, and any America's Cup challenger. Lots of guys have never won the National Open. But "when you keep getting within one putt, one hole, or one swing of it like Sam Snead you make the Lost Battalion. Lots of guys have never won the heavyweight championship, but when you get within jabbing range of it as Billy Conn got you're in.

Lots of teams have lost pennants but not when they get two weeks to win, like, one game to do it. I SBVKN OUT OF NINE Lots of teams have never won the NBA championship. But the Los Angeles Lakers have gone to the post seven times. In nine years. Once a ball hit the rim and rolled Off the wrong way.

Another time, last year, they lost the last two games by a total of three points. This is a team that has to go into a playoff like a guy looking in a dark cellar for an armed fugitive. They are like a mountain climber who keeps expecting an avalanche within sight of the summit. It is an axiom of sports that champions win championships. The Lakers have been operating on short money in the pivot or front court for years.

But they had two of the greatest five players who ever played the game Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. If Elgin Baylor had as many kneecaps as a lettercarrier, the team would not have to go into the fourth quarter like a guy trying not to wake his wife. The Lakprs added Wilt Chamberlain and now they had THREE of the greatest ever to play the game. But Wilt came up with the first serious injury of his life. That's the way it is with the Lakers.

Sam Snead would understand. Billy Conn could be seen nodding sympathetically in a corner. "The putt was only 18 inches!" you could hear Sam explaining. "I had only to dodge for two rounds and he couldn't find me with a dog!" you could hear Conn screaming. But the Lakers brushed through the cobwebs and found only a rigged-up ghost the other night.

They managed to smiiaclp thpir 90-nnint lead hnmp car shot diagnally across the front straight, traveling some 400 yards against pit wall. During the race, teammate Pete Hamilton wrecked in the third turn and straddled the guard rail as another Superbird was wrecked. Driving a new Roadrunner which had been brought back for the race, Petty was riding third and having handling difficulties with the car which had been used exclusively as a short track racer. Time after time, he brushed the wall and fishtailed between turns one and two, fighting the steering wheel trying to stay in contention. Then the wreck came.

The total expense of losing these three cars is staggering. Some $10,000 and maybe more was probably invested in each one. The Pettys will have to work long and hard to get two cars ready by the World 600. One for Petty, if he is able to drive, and the other for Hamilton. Another problem that exists is the point race.

Entering the 400-miler, Petty led with 991, but Bobby Isaac (937), Bobby Allison (932) and James Hylton (920) were on his heels. And while Petty, who is eager to win his third championship, is absent all three challengers have openly admitted they are running for the title. 1 CAN YOU INVEST $12500 CASH We are offering a unique investment opportunity to qualified individuals who possess the desire and ability to operate one of our "der Chees n' Wurst" restaurants as a Manager-Partner.

Write to: By DAVID HOWELL News Sports Writer Before the Rebel 400 cranked up Saturday afternoon at Darlington Raceway, a fan standing inside the infield fence entering the first turn waved a very noticeable sign. It read, "Petty, No. 1." For years, the popularity of Richard Petty, who emerged from a shv country bov to XASCAR's Grand National all-time winner and top money collector, has been fantastic. That smile was always there and he was never seen to refuse those stylish autographs after races.

lli.s popularity came to light on the 177th lap when his 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner crashed coming off the fourth turn, slamming the inside wall and going airborne. Then it flipped four or five times before digging into the pit wall, spinning and coming to rest on its top. Petty was taken from the raceway infirmary to a Florence hospital for treatment and observation. He received a standing ovation from the 42,000 spectators when they learned he was all right. A wire report Sunday said he was released that morning from McLeod Infirmary.

His shoulder was bandaged and his left arm in a sling when he walked out. Asked how he felt, the 32-year-old factory-backed driver replied, "My danged shoulder hurts." His wife, Lynda, said earlier her husband had been told by doctors he should not drive any type car for four to five weeks. Petty though, indicated he hopes to be driving again as soon as possible. "I might not make Charlotte, but then again I might," he said in reference to his future racing plans and possibility of making the Vice President Marketing THE PIZZA INN, INC.
