Pitching Puts Tigers Past Orioles, 4-1 Clutch popped back against Cleveland. I feel we're going to pop back again." The Orioles took three of four from Detroit last weekend and followed with two of three from the Indians, both times after losing the opener. Earl Wilson, with an 18-6 lifetime mark against Baltimore, was hurling a shutout when an ailing left knee sent him to the bench in the sixth after Mark Belanger singled and he threw two balls to Frank Robinson. Jon Warden came in and finished the walk to Robinson and slugger Boog Powell sent the home crowd of 35,627 into a frenzy by beating out a bunt to load the bases. Then came the managerial maneuvering.

Weaver replaced left-handed swinging Ellie Hendricks with righty Curt Motton, causing Smith to remove southpaw Warden in favor of Patterson, a right-hander. Weaver came right back with Fred Valentine, a switch-hitter. "When you have a shot to win the game," Weaver said, "You have to take it. Sometimes you don't get another chance. I figured one of our guys would get a hit." The first pitch from Patterson was a ball.

Then he threw eight consecutive strikes to retire Valentine and Brooks Robinson and get an 0-2 jump on Dave Johnson. Six were swinging strikes with nary a foul tip. Patterson then tried to nibble the corners before getting Johnson on a called 3-2 pitch. He later yielded an eighth-inning homer to Powell. Dick McAuliffe, who singled to drive in one of Detroit's two runs off loser Jim Hardin, 12-6, in the fifth, doubled to launch a two-run rally off Eddie Watt in the eighth.

That's what rookie reliever Daryl Patterson faced when he came out of the bullpen Friday night with the Tigers ahead of the Baltimore Orioles The 24-year-old right-hander, who represented the last move by Detroit Manager Mayo Smith in a battle of strategy with Baltimore's Earl Weaver, then proceeded to strike out the side. Detroit went on to win 4-1, increasing its American League lead over runner-up Baltimore to 6' games. Smith, letting the cliches fall where they may, deadpanned "The first game of a series is always the big one." Weaver, not to be outdone in the postgame war of trite phrases, said: "We popped back against Detroit and we LANSING, MICHIGAN, July 27, 1968 GREETINGS FROM LOU Lou Johnson of the Cleveland Indians "discusses" a called third strike with umpire AI Salerno.

Johnson was a double loser, and it could have been worse. He was called out, thrown out of the game and in his following anger, fired his helmet at Salerno. Luckily it missed.

Lions Coach Joe Schmidt said he was "well pleased with the work that had been done. The progress we have achieved showed tonight." He said he was very happy with the performance of Munson. "I liked his play selections and and two men on with two out in the ninth. Hank Allen lashed a drive over the left centerfield fence, but Smith leaped, draping himself by the waist over the 7-foot-high fence and reached some four feet into the bullpen to catch the ball. His teammates mobbed him and many of them called it the greatest catch they had ever seen.

Josephson tripled home two runs in the first innig and singled in a third in the eighth as the White Sox snapped a four-game losing streak behind the pitching of Joe Horlen, 8-8, and Wilbur Wood. Minnesota used 11 hits, six errors and seven walks to overcome Oakland's 16-hit attack. John Roseboro drove in three runs with two singles and Ted Uhlaender slapped home two more as Jim Kaat, 8-6, got the victory with relief from Ron Perranoski. Johnson threw down his batting helmet and stalked toward the bench. Salerno booted the helmet toward Johnson, saying.

"I'm practicing my place-kicking." Lou picked the helmet up and threw it at Salerno. He missed. "It will all be in my report," the umpire said ominously.

The Indians not only missed with Stottlemyer, they missed a man caught off base and a crucial double play.

Roy White was off base on an attempted steal in the first inning. Indian starter Sam McDowell threw to Vera Fuller at third, but White got back safely to second, beating Fuller's throw to Dave Nelson. In the eighth inning, with the Yankees nursing a 1-0 lead, one man on base and one out, white hit back to McDowell for what should have been an easy double play. But McDowell's throw to Nelson was wide, and Nelson's throw to the plate was late. Yankee Bob Cox scored, McDowell was charged with an error, and New York went on to three more runs.

The helmet incident came in the first inning. Lou Johnson gave Salerno an incredulous look after hearing the umpire's judgment on strike one. Johnson added a verbal judgment with an unprintable name. Salerno threw him out. By The Associated Press Mel Stottlemyre couldn't miss.

The Cleveland Indians missed everything and finished on the short end of a 5-0 contest with the New York Yankees Friday night. Even Indian Lou Johnson's helmet thrown aimed at umpire Al Salernowas wide of the mark. "I didn't walk a man."

"I'm not a Roman Catholic, although I went to a Roman Catholic school for nine years," she said Friday after shooting a par 73 for a two-round total of four-under 142. "I received the blessing in Rome in February and my mother gave me the good luck charm last Christmas. I carry it everywhere.

Two strokes off the pace at 145, after a 72 Friday, was Sandra Palmer, a fellow U.S. professional, who said: "Selection of irons on your approach shots are the secret over this course. The greens are tricky, and if you use the wrong club you can wind up a long way from the pin."
