It was Evans' second victory on the All Star Modified circuit, the first coming at Albany-Saratoga Raceway. Stevens managed to regain second place near the end of the race and held that spot in the official finish. Geoff Bodine, the 21-year-old sensation of the All Star League, finished third just ahead of Maynard Troyer of Spencerport, N.Y. Troyer and Bodine, who is from Chamong, N.Y., went through a fierce battle for the third and fourth positions before Bodine finally decided the issue.

One of only two Vermonters in the feature, Jack DuBrul of South Burlington, was running well in a Javelin until he blew his engine with 24 laps to go in the event. member of the Lancaster Racing Team, took tte lead a the green flag and never rehnqiushed it to breeze to a victory in the Schaefer 100-lap All Star Racing League Modified main event at Milton's Catamount Stadium Tuesday night. Evans, who had the inside pole in the lineup, jumped out In front on the start and for 21 laps was trailed by Carl Bugsey Stevens, In the only appearance of the An Star Racing League and the open competition runners.

DuBrul who drove the same car in the Grand American Feature last month, drove real well in the heat race and would have had a good feature finish had his engine held together. Moe Dubois of Hinesburg was to have appeared in the heat, but scratched after dropping a drive shaft in practice. Ron Barcomb of Winooski and Don Bevins of South Burlington failed to qualify in the race.

Flemke of Southington, took the third-heat victory in one of the most exciting finishes of the evening. Flemke battled with Buzz! Reutmann and Charland over the final few laps and nipped Reutmann for the top spot with two laps to go. All three driven made a wild dash to the finish with Flemke just barely edging Reutmann. The first consolation round went to Bob Brunnell with Bernie Griffith second and Beaver Dragon third. A large crowd was on hand for the activity at the Milton track.

Fifth place money in the feature went to Lou Lazzarro of Utica, N.Y., with Dennis Giroux of Malta, NX, sixth, and Charlie Jarzomber of Baiting Hollow, N.Y., seventh. The McCall Trophy was presented to Evans by Jama Fayette, Schaefer representative from Burlington. Except for the incident where Charland went off the third turn and DuBrul losing his engine, the race was uneventful. Among the early dropouts in the affair was Evans' teammate, Eddie Flemke, with a flat tire. Only 19 of the 30 cars which started the event finished.

The other Vermonter in the race, Beaver Dragon of Milton, finished well down the list. Bob Dragon's car was driven by Joe Kelly. In the first qualifying heat Stevens breezed to win with Giroux a distance second. Jean Paul Cabana was third and Joe Thomas fourth. Also running in the heat were Clem Despault of Waterbury, who retired when his car developed radiator troubles and George Home of St.

Johnsbury, who finished last.

Jit Family Fun HOUSTON (AP) Jim Bunning became the second pitcher in major league history to capture 100 victories in each league, stopping the Houston Astros as Philadelphia moved to a 6-5 triumph Tuesday night.

The 38-year-old right-hander, who won 118 games with Detroit of the American League, held a 6-1 edge in the ninth and was working on a six hitter. But Joe Morgan opened the ninth with a homer and the Astros ripped four more hits off Bunning to get within 6-5 before Joe Hoerner came on in relief. He was reached for a single before Dick Selma could get the last out and protect the victory in Bunning's fourth attempt at the elusive 100th NL triumph. Bunning has a 218-168 lifetime mark.

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL (AP) Rod Carew says he has decided to sit out the rest of the baseball season, but Minnesota Twins' manager Bill Rigney said the Twins' second baseman has not notified him of any such intention.

Carew, who has been sidelined since June 23 when he was hit at second base by Mike He-gan of the Milwaukee Brewers, said there "isn't any way" he could be ready to play this year. Carew, the Twins' top hitter at .376 in 186 official at bats, said he was sure he could be ready by Sept. 15, "if I wanted to play." "I understand that they want to keep Danny Thompson at second base and play me in the outfield if I am able to play by Sept. 15," Carew said, adding, "if they don't need a second baseman, then I'd suggest they trade me." Yanks Lace Chicaao NEW YORK (AP) Jake Gibbs hit two homers in a game for the first time in his career and rookie Jim Lyttle and pitcher Mel Stottlemyre each hit one Tuesday while Stottlemyre held the Chicago White Sox to seven hits in a 7-1 New York Yankees' victory.

According to Bish Bishop, secretary-treasurer of the sponsoring Vermont Sportswriters Sportscasters Association, the exact amount deposited in the fund through Monday is $4,081.52.

The fund was given a tremendous boost last week when $1,006 was realized from the Sports Night held at South Park in Burlington. A donation of $50 by the Burlington Police Officers and staff put the Sports Night proceeds over $1,000. Later in the week two other $50 donations, from Carleton Wilson in Rutland and the General Electric Activities Association in Burlington, pushed the total fund over $4,000. Last Sunday donations of $46.78 were made at the Burlington-Barre Legion game in Burlington, to raise the fund to its present figure. Another $1,000 or more is still to come in pledges, Bishop said.

The VSSA has set a goal of $20,000. From that amount the association will be able to award substantial yearly scholarships from the fund's earnings. The fund is in memory to Harmon Bove, versatile athlete from Burlington High School who was killed in Vietnam last March. Each year a selection committee will choose a recipient, either from public or private high schools, to receive the scholarship. The winner will be announced each year at the VSSA's annual Athlete-of-the-Month Banquet in April.

Those wishing to donate can send contributions to The Harmon Bove Scholarship Fund, Box 51, Burlington, Vt. of, TULSA, Okla. (AP) Ben Hogan withdrew, there were rumors of a nude hippie invasion and Arnold Palmer braced again for a shot at the one major championship that has eluded him. Hogan, a living legend from another era of golf, told officials Tuesday that his ailing left knee, encased in a steel brace, was hurting him so badly he was forced to pull out of the PGA national championship that begins Thursday. Hogan, 57, a four-time National Open champion, has been in Tulsa for several days and played a number of practice rounds.

He limped heavily. Palmer, meanwhile, played a practice round with England's Tony Jacklin, the U.S. Open champ, and, naturally, drew the lion's share of the gallery. Palmer, the 40-year-old Athlete of the Decade, never has won the PGA, the one big one that got away in his storied career. He needs only that title to join Gene Sarazen, Hogan, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus as the men to sweep pro golf's big four championships the British and U.S.

Opens, the Masters and PGA. But the story that had the pros, and everyone else, tittering was the report that a flock of hippies, planned an infiltration of the course. Police Capt. Bill Melton, in charge of the security forces at the course, received an anonymous phone call from a restaurant owner who said he overheard some hippie-patrons making their plans. The strategy, according to the call, is for five nude girls to slip onto the course on some pre-tournament night and lure the guards away from the 18th green.

While the guards were away, goes the plan, the male members of the group, armed with grass-killing chemical spray, would paint the word "peace" on the 18th green, thus killing the grass in time for their mes- 100 MEN WITHOUT FEAR OF DEATH TO CRASH THEIR CARS IN DELIBERATE HEAD-ON COLLISIONS IN WORLD'S BIGGEST DEMOLITION DERBY at Champlain Valley FADD Ettx Junction, Vermont Writ; Manager Off ic for rule ft entry blank MAJOR LEAGUE 000 000 0004 31 000 010 OOx-1 4 0 (8) and Bate-King.
