Kaline Supplies Needed Punch Lolich Fans 14 In 17th Win Washington's run came in the fourth on a leadoff double by rookie Jeff Burroughs, an error by second baseman Dick McAuUffe and a single by Paul Casanova. i Bosman gave up only one hit after the first inning. But that turned out to be the ball-game. It was a home run by Al Kaline in the th ird inning, his 10th, and after that Bosman faced the minimum of 20 batters the rest of the game, hitting Kaline with a pitch in '1 He said Bosman was the only batter he tried to strike out Wednesday. The Nats hurler had struck out the first two times and Lolich tried to do it a third time and he flied out.

"See, it doesn't pay to try for them," he said grinning. Tiger Manager Billy Martin agrees with Lolich's diagnosis. "A lot of times when they (opponents) have two strikes they swing at balls that aren't exactly in the strike zone," he said. "That's smart pitching." Willie Horton singled home the first Detroit run following a triple by Kaline in the opening inning. the sixth but hasing him erased on a double play.

The victory was the seventh in the last nine games for Detroit, which finished 9-6 on the homestand and is in Boston tonight for a rare five-day series. Detroit is third in the AL East, 9'2 games behind leader Baltimore. "When I was trying to strike someone out I'd throw a fast ball right down the middle of the plate," Lolich explained of his "old style." "But a lot of times the batter would hit it out. Now I try to find the comers with a curve or slider. I'm getting them to swing at bad pitches and maybe ground out." A Jii I A TIMES HERALD By LARRY PALADINO Associated Press Sports Writer DETROIT (AP) Mickey Lolich, who made up his mind in spring training not to try for strikeouts this year, appears headed for his biggest strikeout year as well as his first 20 victory seasonin his nine-year career.

The 30-year-old lefthander equalled his season high of 14 strikeouts as he and the Detroit Tigers made the most of Dick Bosnian's four-hitter to nip the Washington Senators 2-1 Wednesday night. It was Lolich's 17th victory against eight losses and the strikeout total gives him 217 for the season only six behind Oakland's Vida Blue who leads the American League. The past two seasons Lolich finished second to Cleveland's Sam McDowell in strikeouts, getting 271 in 1969 (his best total) and 230 last year. He now has 1,783 career strikeouts. "I used to always worry about beating McDowell," the pot-bellied hurler said recently.

"But since I lost 19 games last year I decided why should I worry about strikeouts, just worry about winning." Meanwhile, in the Washing-t clubhouse righthander Bosman was moaning about the loss, his 12th against nine triumphs. "That game goes on the top of my frustration list," he said, wrapping a white tie around the collar of a red and blue striped shirt. "It was a crime to lose that game the way he pitched," Senators Manager Ted Williams said.

SHOOK DETROIT (UPI) Maybe that's one of the things which make Al Kaline the great pro he is he still gets nervous. The 19-year veteran of the Detroit Tigers made his first start of the season at first base Wednesday night and sparked the club to a 2-1 win over the Washington Senators. Kaline's triple in the first and home run his next time up provided Mickey Lolich with both runs he needed to post his 17th win of the season against eight setbacks. Just having the 36-year-old in the lineup has got to be as comforting to a pitcher as an electric blanket on a nippy night. The once in a while first baseman was subbing for Norm Cash, who intended to play against the right-handed Dick Bosman but reported to the ball park limping a bit DETROIT ab bl Al Kaline's start at first base was his first at that position this season, but he did appear there in one other game.

The veteran right fielder began the June 20th game at Cleveland in center field and was shifted to first during the game. That contest was ultimately suspended because some of the light towers failed and will be completed Sept. 28. Ted Williams would like to let the Washington baseball writers manage his team one game late in the season, if the contest didn't mean anything in the standings. Which naturally raised the question: would Williams want to wait outside the clubhouse for 15 minutes after the game like he presently has the writers do? "Why should I even want to go in there at all?" the Washington manager questioned back.

tto much for Manager Billy Martin's comfort. Jim Northrup has been Martin's usual choice to play first when Cash doesn't but Mayo Smith preferred to platoon Kaline with Cash when he could to give them both rest and get Mickey Stanley in the lineup. "I'd rather have Kaline in the outfield," Martin said. "He's a better outfielder. Why weaken yourself at two positions?" Kaline has been troubled by a bad stomach lately but, except for an occasional day or two of mild discomfort, he says he feels fine.

"It's just nerves, I guess," Kaline said of the more painful days. "If you didn't still get nervous, it would be time to get out." "Did you notice," Mickey Lolich asked slyly, "how everybody started murmuring in the ninth when I got two balls on the leadoff batter?"

TIBE MM By EARL GERHEIM Associated Press Sports Writer Controversial running back Duane Thomas, the fleet-footed ace who led the Dallas Cowboys in rushing last season, has covered a lot of ground this past week but doesn't seem to have made any headway. Thomas was traded by the Cowboys to the New England Patriots last weekend after he tossed several verbal barbs at Dallas management and requested that he be swapped. Under terms of the transaction, New England sent halfback Carl Garrett and the Patriots' No. 1 draft pick next year to Dallas and also received lineman Halvor Hagen and wide receiver Honor Jackson from the Cowboys. Dallas President Tex Schramm, who has been a target of Thomas' fiery criticism, announced Wednesday that part of the deal had been cancelled.

Thomas was coming back to Dallas, Garrett was returning to the Patriots and New England could keep Hagen and Jackson in exchange for two undisclosed draft choices, he said. Thomas deserted the Patriots' training camp Monday. Schramm said the cancellation had been prompted by questions raised about Thomas' condition by the New England team physician. The Patriots issued a statement which said: "The Patriot team physician, in the course of his physical examination of Duane Thomas when he arrived at training camp, developed certain questions concerning Thomas' general condition." The team neglected to elaborate but said, "These concerns were confirmed in the brief practice that followed. Mr.

Thomas has since withdrawn from training camp after declining to com-p 1 his physical examination." Elsewhere in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles retreated under a threatened lawsuit and recalled waivers on defensive back Ron Medved. The veteran player was placed on waivers Monday and charged the Eagles had dealt with him in bad faith because he was waived while waiting- for an injured ankle to heal. Eagles General Manager Pete Retzlaff rejected Med-ved's contention and said a doctor had pronounced the player physically fit. Wide receiver, Jerry LeVias, traded to the San Diego Chargers by the Houston Oilers, has not appeared in camp and is being fined. The San Francisco 49ers, gearing for their upcoming exhibition opener against Cleveland, put the wraps on their workouts and retired Indoors Wednesday.

Coach Dick Nolan trimmed the practice schedule from two workouts a day to one and limited contact work. Rookies Joe Profit and Willie Belton registered long touchdown runs as the Atlanta Falcons conducted a 30- minute rushing scrimmage. The coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers came away from a goal line offense drill and remarked their team showed improvement over their 1970 performances in that area. The Cincinnati Bengals had their practice curtailed as heavy downpours turned the practice field into a soggy, slippery mess. The cutting ax continued to swing at several pro football camps as teams battled the midnight deadline for a 60-player limit.

The Kansas City Chiefs made the biggest cut, trimming 11 players from their roster. Defense back Richard Peti-bone joined the growing list of Rams traded to the Redskins since former Los Angeles Coach George Allen assumed the reins in Washington. Allen called Petitbone "one of the great strong safeties in football. He knows our system and he is a winner." Petit-bone was acquired for undisclosed draft picks. The Redskins also traded defensive end Bruce Anderson to New Orleans in exchange for running back Tom ALL OF OUR TIRES ARE FULLY GUARANTEED FULL 4 PLY 24 month guarantee (9180 12.95 14.95 16.95 18.95 20.95 7.35x14 7.75x14 or 15 8.25-14 or 15 8.55-15 9.00-15 6.50-13 Plus 1 .90 to 2.87 F.
