Tribe Tooirs flrim Times Herald By RICHARD BILOTTI Associated Press Writer CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) Detroit Tiger Manager Billy Martin said it was a tough game to win. And Cleveland Indian Manager Ken Aspromonte said it was the same way losing. Martin used four pitchers. Tribe Manager Aspromonte stuck with his starter to the finish. The Tigers nipped the Indians 4-3 here Monday night.

"He threw one bad pitch," Aspromonte said. "Every time we make a mistake it counts for a couple of runs. Everytime the other side makes a mistake it either means one run or an out." Tonight, brothers Jim and Gaylord Perry meet for the first time in the regular season in their major league careers. Tiger Jim is 8-7 while Gaylord, two years younger, is 8-10. The one bad pitch Dick Tidrow (5-9) "threw was a two-run homer to Mickey Stanley in the third inning, his 10th.

In the sixth inning a walk, a fielder's choice, a single and a passed ball netted the Tigers the two runs that helped them win the ball game. Tiger starter Woodie Fryman was taken out after 4 2-3 innings and former Indian pitcher Ed Farmer came on to relieve and get the win. "Farmer pitched real good while he was in there," Martin said. "But I know my pitchers better then anybody else and the situation called for me to bring in a reliever and I did." Farmer (2-2) recorded the win against his former teammates and he's happy about it. "Billy has displayed lot of confidence in me and that makes a big difference," the winner said.

He was saved by Fred Scherman and John Hiller. ottrolt obrhbl Cleveland ob bl MStanley GBrown Sims Cosh Sharon cf 5 1 1 2 BBell 3b 5 112 4 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 4 0 2 0 2 110 oh 0 0 0 WWMImj If 3 0 10 Hendrlck cf 4 10 0 Ellis 0 0 0 0 Spikes dh rf MAullffe 2b 4 110 RLollch rf Northrup rf 4 0 2 1 Lowensln 2b 2 0 1 0 Reese If 4 0 10 ARodrgez 3b 4 0 1 0 EBrnkmn rf 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 RTorres Chmbllss lb 3 0 10 Cardenas ss 2 110 ss 2 1 1 Oo Gamble Fryman ph 0 0 0 0 farmer 2b 10 0 1 0 0 0 0 Rogland scnermn BMIIIer 0 0 0 0 Brohamr ph 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 Duty ss 0 0 0 Hlller 0 0 0 0 Tldrow 35 4 3 Total 0 0 0 0 33 3 7 3 ..002 002 000 4 .000 030 000 .3 1.

And heavyweight champion George Foreman watched the return.

With Foreman in the crowd, Frazier knocked down European champion Joe Bugner in the 10th round and pounded out a 12-round decision Monday night. It was Frazier's comeback from the humiliation he suffered at Foreman's smashing fists in a two-round debacle in Jamaica last January. "I think I'm back now," said the 29-year-old former champion as he sat in his dressing room fingering a bulging bruise that was closing his left eye. The decision was clearcut for Frazier. LARRY PALADINO Associated Press Sports Writer DETROIT (AP) Jim Perry's singing "He ain't the heavy, he's my brother," but who's going to believe him? His brother Gaylord has been the "heavy" since the Cleveland Indians acquired him from the San Francisco Giants of the National League two years ago in exchange for Sam McDowell.

Heavy" is a movie term for "bad guy." With all the controversy generated wherever he goes about his alleged "greaseball" pitches, Gaylord truly has become a bad guy in the eyes of opposing American League managers. Brother Jim of the Detroit Tigers- who will pitch against Gaylord for the first time in their major league careers Tuesday in Cleveland denies Gaylord Gold Bat Diamonds in title aame Needless penalty says Granatelli Sports PORT HURON, MICH. IB Tuesday, July 3, 1973 The victory boosted the Tigers into a tie for third place with Milwaukee, 4y2 games behind the New York Yankees and one-half game behind second-place Baltimore. The Indians' runs came in the fifth inning on a single, a sacrifice bunt and a two-run homer by Buddy Bell. Martin liked the performance of his relief pitchers.

"I called on a lefty when I needed someone to pitch to a lefthander and he came through. I called on a righthander to pitch to a righthander and he came through. "It was a tough game but we won it," Martin said. umpires who never seem to find anything. Latest development in the continuing debate found the New York Yankees threatening to film Perry's every move and present their findings to league officials.

How does brother Jim feel about all thehullaballoo? "It's great. Look at all the publicity he gets," the elder Perry said with a smile. "Maybe I should start doing all that stuff." But he did say all the commotion "could throw someone off, make him upset. But I don't think it really bothers my brother. Nothing aggravates him." Jim doeen't know why he never opposed his brother last season.

"It just never happened," he said shrugging his shoulders.

For the day, Simunic had 11 hits in 12 trips to the plate, including four hits in a morning win over Halifax, Nova Scotia. Both the Diamonds and New Baltimore enter tonight's championship game with 6-1 tournament records. New Baltimore's Doug Simunic was a hard man to contain Monday but here he finally lost out in this home plate collision with Port Huron Diamond cat- cher Bruce Webb.

Simunic was called out during fifth inning action in the Gold Bat Baseball Championships being held at Sarnia's Errol Russell Park. 'Just ask the man who owns one'' Sail Hagen SfOri Mcjr.

"WeVe talked about it," he continued. "If you make what he throws illegal, why not make the knuckleball illegal? It moves just as much." Gaylord, also a righthander and Jim's junior by two years, makes numerous motions before his windup. He rubs his fingers behind his ear, on his brow, under his arm and under his cap. Opponents contend he is gathering a clear medical jelly hidden about his body. The say he uses it to throw his sudden sinking pitches which often send puzzled batters back to the dugout after being struck out.

The fight was televised live to parts of Europe, South America and Asia, with a limited closed-circuit telecast in the United States. Swede Savage Dead at 26 my people if still had life? "I don't feel it's fair to talk about it at this time," said Dan Gurney, the man who more than anyone else made Savage a world-class driver. "I took the approach that if he was adamant and he was going to do it one way or another, I wanted to be as helpful as I could.

Swede certainly aspired to be a racing driver at a very early age. It was the thing he wanted to do the most. That accident was not enough to make him lose that desire. "He seemed to me to be displaying the good balance of aggressiveness and prudence." But other drivers questioned Savage's comeback. Borg has had all the teenagers following him around, but has been living dangerously the past two rounds, advancing after five-set matches.

The women completed their quarterfinals on Monday. Australia's Evonne Goolagong, the 1971 winner and No. 3 seed this year, breezed past Britain's Virginia Wade 6-3, 6-3. Another Australian, top-seed Margaret Court, dropped a set to Olga Morozova of Russia, before winning 4-6, RAKE comes Most ringsiders at the Earl's Court arena thought Frazier had won at least nine rounds while British referee Harry Gibbs, the only judge, scored Frazier winner of six rounds and the 23-year-old Bugner winner of four, with two even. Frazier weighed 208, six pounds lighter than when he fought Foreman and the lightest he's been since he outpointed Muhammad Ali March 8, 1971.

And, indeed Frazier, did look a lot like his old fighting self, moving forward constantly, slapping his gloves together and even laughing. But although he knocked the 221 pound Briton down, raised lumps around both eyes and bloodied his nose, Frazier could not make Bugner his 26th kno "Life and death are plenty final," said a saddened Dan Gurney, who gave Savage a start in big-time racing when he began building Eagle "He was a part of the family. He was a very talented athlete. He had the natural grace thattropped up in driving a race car." Gurney, himself a former driver, said that when Savage left to drive for Granatelli he, quite naturally, was considered an "enemy" at the time. "But we all had a' soft spot in our hearts for himn" he added.

"We'd go out of our way to help him, if he asked for any help. From the start he made a lasting impression." Granatelli, who had been lobbying with the U.S. Auto Club for slower speeds and lower fuel capacity since another of his drivers, Art Pollard of Medford, died during a practice lap just before the first day of qualifications, said Savage's death would only "serve to strengthen his determination to press for stronger safety regulations in our sport." "These are By RON ROACH Associated Press Sports Writer "These are my people, my friends, my living and my whole life. It's also the great race that I always want to be in and always love to watch." So spoke Swede Savage before the 1971 Indianapolis 500. It helps to explain why Savage refused to quit auto race driving after an accident at Ontario Motor Speedway in March 1971 left him with brain damage that affected his memory.

David Earl Savage 26, of Santa Ana, died Monday at an Indianapolis hospital from injuries suffered in a fiery crash during the 1973 Indy 500. Still, the question inevitably cropped up: Why didn't Savage quit while he nis Federation at the request of his national association. Playing for the first time here, he suddenly came on to Wimbledon's fast grass courts straight from clay and defeated Nastase in the best match of the tournament so far. In today's quarter-finals, he met Juergen Fassbender of West Germany, the No. 8 seed.

Meyer is unseeded and one of only two non-seeds to reach the final eight. The other is the 19 year-old Indian, Vijay Amritraj, who plays Kodes in a quarterfinal. The other quarterfinal will be between Britain's Roger Taylor, seeded third, and blond Bjorn Borg, the 17year-old Swedish whiz kid. Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The death of Swede Savage was a needless penalty, said Andy Granatelli, whose STP stable included the 26year-old driver of Indy-type race cars. Savage, critically burned in a flaming crash on the 59th lap of the May 30 Indianapolis 500, died Monday of com-.

plications. "My sense of loss surpasses anything I have felt in all my years of motor racing," said Granatelli. "While racing, like many other sports, can never become totally safe, I must express the sentiment that Swede's death was a needless penalty." "I've lost a good friend and fellow racer," said David "Salt" Walther, who lies in the University of Michigan Burn Center at Ann Arbor with serious burns suffered cin a crash two days before Savage's. "Swede was a charger. We'll all remember him warmly.

My deepest sympathy to his wife and family." But three-time Indy 500 winner A.J. Foyt expressed the attitude that many of his peers have toward death of a fellow driver. 4 "I don't want to talk about nothing like that," he said from his home in Houston. "I just can't quite believe that could Dick Simon, a former official in the Mormon Church from Salt Lake City who has driven in four In-dianpolis races. "In my mind he was going to come out all right.

when you're not too familiar with each other when you lose someone it's like losing some of your family. Gordon Johncock of Franklin, who defied an urge to stop his car to help his teammate and went on to win the Indy, said: "He had been getting better the last four or five days. He had been improving a little bit and joking. With the improvement, it was kind of a shock when I heard it this morning." The third annual Gold Bat Baseball Championships became an all-American affair Monday as the Port Huron Diamonds and New Baltimore kicked off play in a rugged best-of -three championship series. Playing at Sarnia's Erroll Russell Park, the Diamonds staged a furious rally to win the 1 p.m.

finals opener 8-6 before falling 6-1 later in the day. The split forces the rubber-match third game which will be played at 7 p.m. today at the Russell diamond. Both the Diamonds and New Baltimore, members of the Blue Water Adray League, entered Monday's championship round with 5-0 tournament records. Ten Canadian teams and two other American squads, Marysville and St.

Clair, were left by the wayside as New Baltimore and the Diamonds rolled through the early rounds of the double-elimination tourney- Without that wild eighth inning uprising in the first game, however, the Diamonds would already be on the sidelines with New Baltimore crowned champion. Trailing 6-2, the Diamonds exploded for six runs to nail down the win. Catcher Bruce Webb started the rally with a single and finished it up with a fwo-run, two-out double. Other key hits in the inning included a single by Dave Dusellier and doubles by Pat Hunt and Tom Grace. New Baltimore's Brad Miller had a solo home run and Doug Simunic contributed three hits.

Herb Christy added a double and triple. One cause of the Diamond trouble in the first game was the sub-par pitching performance of starter Ian Farquhar. Farquhar, suffering arm problems, was lifted in the fourth inning after surrendering four runs. Grace replaced him and went the rest of the way. The Diamonds also ran into pitching woes in the second game loss.

Dave Dusellier, pitching for the third time in four days, "just didn't have it," accord- 6-4, 6-1. Chris Evert of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. also dropped a set in beating Rosie Casals of San Francisco, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2. Billie Jean King, the titleholder and No. 2 seed from Long Beach, managed to beat Kerry Melville but the seventh seeded Australian gave her lots of trouble before bowing 9-8, 8-6.

The women's singles semifinals will be played Wednesday, with the final on Friday. Men's semifinals will be Thursday and the final Saturday.
