D2 Springfield, June 11, 1972 Behind Rudi, Jackson Athletics Run Streak to 8 DETROIT (AP) Joe Rudi extended his hitting streak to a team record 17 games with a tie-breaking two-run homer off Mickey Lolich and Reggie Jackson poked a two-run single to pace the Oakland A's to their eighth consecutive victory Saturday, a 5-2 triumph over the Detroit Tigers. Rudi's drive, his fifth homer, came after Lolich hit Bert Campaneris with a pitch to lead off the sixth inning and snapped a 1-1 tie. Danny Cater hit successfully in 16 games in a row in 1969 for the old mark. Rudi, second leading hitter in the American League with a .330 average, has hit safely in 28 of the last 29 games.

Larry Brown led off the Oakland seventh with a single, then Lolich, 9-4, hit A's hurler Dave Hamilton with a pitch. After a sacrifice by Campaneris and a walk to Rudi, Jackson drilled a ground single through the box for two runs. Detroit scored its first run in the opening inning on a leadoff triple by Tony Taylor and an infield single by Bill Freehan, who also drove in a run in the eighth on a ground out. Sal Bando hit a solo homer in the second for Oakland. Hanfilton; 3-0, a rookie lefthander, scattered five hits before Bob Locker relieved him in the eighth.

(AP) Two members of top-ranked Arizona were among members of the 10-man 1972 All-America baseball team announced Saturday by the American Association of College Baseball Coaches.

Shortstop Alan Bannister, a repeat selection, and pitcher Craig Swan represent Arizona State. Dave Roberts of Oregon, the No. 1 selection in the recent summer draft, is the third baseman. He was selected and signed by San Diego. First baseman Doug Ault of Texas Tech, with a .475 batting average, and outfielder John Glenn of Arizona, at .438, were the leading hitters on the squad, Other members include Oklahoma second baseman Bobby Jack, outfielders Fred Lynn of Southern California and Paul Husband of Mississippi, catcher Ron Pruitt of Michigan State and pitcher Dick Ruthven of Fresno State.

The second team consists of first baseman Jerry Tabb of Tulsa, second baseman Garry Cooper of Miami of Ohio, shortstop Barry Hoffpauir of Texas Tech and third baseman Dave Chalk of Texas. Plus outfielders Joe Wallis of Southern Illinois, R.J.

17-Year-Old Laura Baugh Helps U.S. Keep Trophy Press Ridge, showing the form with Derby, romped to victory Saturday, giving him two The winner zoomed under the wire seven lengths in front of Greentree Stables' Ruritania, with William and Thomas Bancroft's Cloudy Dawn third, another three quarters of a length back and five lengths in front of Paul Mellon's Key To The Mint, who had dueled Riva Ridge down the backstretch before fading. The victory made Riva Ridge, owned by Meadow Stable and trained by Lucien Laurin, the eighth 3-year-old to win the Belmont after capturing the Kentucky Derby but losing the Preakness. Riva Ridge finished fourth in the Preakness, which was won by Bee Bee Bee, who did not start in the Belmont. Key To The Mint's defeat was the first for Mellon in three Belmonts and also the first for trainer Elliott Burch in four Belmonts.

Riva Ridge, the 8-5 favorite of the crowd of 54,635 on a cool, breezy June afternoon, returned $5.20, $4.80 and $3.80. Ruritania paid $16.40 and $9.40 and Cloudy Dawn was $6 to show. Time for the distance was 2:28 flat, 1 2-5ths seconds off the stakes and track record set by Gallant Man in 1957. The track was rated fast. Completing the order of finish were Max Glue's Big Spruce; Joseph R.

Straus' No Le Hace, runnerup in both the Derby and the Preakness and co-second choice Saturday with Key To The Mint; Freetex; Jersey Derby winner Smiling Jack; Zulu Tom and Prince Fauquier. Each starter carried 126 pounds. Smiling Jack, ridden by Frank Lanelli, and Key To The Mint, ridden by Braulio Baeza, broke on top, but Turcotte sent Riva Ridge into the lead going into the first turn. At the end of the first half-mile, Riva Ridge held a length lead over Smiling Jack with Key To The one Mint third. From then on, until the turn for home, it was a battle between Riva Ridge and Key To The Mint.

But the field entered the stretch Riva Ridge left little doubt as to who was the best horse on this day as he easily lengthened his lead while Key To The Mint faded badly. The victory for the 1971 2-year-old champion was a big step toward this year's 3-yearold title. It was his fourth victory in six 1972 starts, his eighth in 15 career outings and his ninth score in a stakes. The first prize of $93,540 boosted the career bankroll of the bay son of First Landing-Iberia to $802,245. For Ruritania, the Belmont was only his second stakes start in 13 races and was quite a showing for the grey son of Graustark.

It also was quite a showing for Cloudy Dawn, who had run his three previous races on the grass and had not started in a stakes until he finished third in the Kent at Delaware Park on June 4. Although the crowd was far off the New York record of 82,694 that turned out last year to watch Canonero II's unsuccessful bid for the Triple Crown, it compared well with other recent Belmont attendance figures. The track betting pool on the Belmont was $962,603. Exacta wagering was also taken on the race and the pool was $406,221. The exacta of Riva Ridge and Ruritania paid $171.

The betting pool of the New York City Off Track Betting Corp. for the race was $1,236,607 and the OTB exacta pool was $587,312. The OTB betting was fed into Belmont pari-mutuel machines and figured in the track odds. The total handle, combining the track and OTB, on the ninerace card was $8,155,980. Riva Ridge has a wide lead at the finish of the Belmont Stakes Saturday to capture his second leg of the Triple Crown.

Suggests She Needs Psychiatric Help Blalock Will Lose Toski MIAMI (AP) Bob Toski, who coached 26-year-old Janie Blalock, says he believes she has little chance of winning her court battle against the Ladies Professional Golf Association. Miss Blalock was suspended June for one year the LPGA for "unethical conduet." She later obtained a federal court injunction allowing her to play and a hearing in her $5 million antitrust suit against the LPGA starts Monday. She is competing over the weekend in the $50,000 LPGA tournament at Sutton, Mass.

"The LPGA has movies of her breaking rules," Toski said Friday in an interview with the Miami Herald. "Nearly all of the other players say they will testify against her, and even spectators have offered to serve as witnesses. I'll be amazed if she wins her suit." Toski is quoted as saying he believes the pigtailed golfer needs psychiatric help.

Koosman, striving to the form that made him a star in 1968 and 1969, his first two years in the majors, earned the starting shot with several strong relief outings and evened his record at 3-3 although he needed help after yielding home runs to Doug Rader in the fifth and Cesar Cedeno in the sixth.

He also delivered a run-scoring single in the fourth inning as the Mets chased Houston starter Don Wilson, 4-5, scoring four runs on four hits, two walks and Wilson's throwing error. The Mets scored their first run in the second on two walks and Duffy Dyer's double. Singles by Rusty Staub and John Milner set things up in the fourth. After Cleon Jones popped out, Wayne Garrett singled for one run, Dyer walked and Koosman ripped a single to left, making it 3-0. Bud Harrelson drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Dyer scored the final run of the inning when Wilson's pickoff throw to first got past Lee May for an error.

The Astros picked up their third run when Buzz Capra walked four batters in the eighth before Danny Frisella retired Rader on a line drive to left field with the bases loaded.

Football Decision Later-Devaney Rodgers May Appeal Sentence LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) The football future of Nebraska's star flanker Johnny Rodgers, remained in question Saturday after he was sentenced Friday to 30 days in jail on a misdemeanor traffic charge.

Bob Devaney, Nebraska coach, said "there is a good possibility the sentence might be appealed." He said a decision on whether Rodgers will play football next fall will be made later. Rejecting Rodgers' emotional appeal for probation, Municipal Judge Neal H. Dusenberry imposed the 30-day sentence for driving a motor vehicle on a suspended operator's license. and directed Rodgers begin serving the sentence June 30. Rodgers had pleaded guilty to the charge May 17 and WESTERN GAILES, Scotland (AP) Laura Baugh, at 17, America's youngest ever women's golfing champion, helped the United States to a 10-8 victory over Britain in the Curtis Cup Saturday, Miss Baugh, of Long Beach, won the first singles in the afternoon, beating Belle Robertson 6 and 5, and the Americans led 8-5.

Then the British came back with three victories. Lancy Smith of Snyder, N.Y., beat Diane Frearson 3 and 2 in a downpour and got the decisive ninth point for the Americans. That meant the United States could not lose and therefore retained the cup. Beth Barry of Mobile, Devaney Names 49 To All- Squad CHICAGO (AP) Coach Bob Devaney of the University of Nebraska named 49 players Saturday to the College All-Star team which will face the world champion Dallas Cowboys July 28 at Soldier Field. Devaney, who coached Nebraska to national championships in the last two seasons, selected five men from Michigan's Big Ten Conference champions, Angels Roar In 7th Frame With Boston BOSTON (AP) Bob Oliver's three-run homer capped a fiverun explosion in seventh inning that powered the California Angels past the Boston Red Sox 7-3 Saturday.

Oliver's shot, his seventh of the year, helped the Angels stage a comeback from a 3-2 deficit and made a loser of Boston starter John Curtis, 2-1, who had struck out 10 batters before leaving in the seventh. The Angels tied the game 3-3 on singles by Leo Cardenas, Sandy Alomar and Ken Berry before Lew Krausse came in to relieve Curtis. Alomar came home from third on an infield error to give California a 4-1 lead before Oliver unloaded. California had lead I in the third inning on pitcher Clyde Wright's run-scoring double and an infield error that allowed Wright to come home from second base. Carl Yastrzemski, who opened with a single, eventually came home from third on Danny Cater's forceout bouncer to give Boston its first run in the fourth.

The Red Sox took a 3-2 lead with two more in the fifth on homers by Carlton Fisk and Tommy Harper.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Minnesota Vikings announced Saturday that they have signed All-American linebacker Jeff Siemon, their No. 1 National Football League choice. Siemon, a 6-foot-21, was 235- pounder Stanford, born in Rochester, and grew up in Bakersfield, Calif. "Middle linebacker is a position of concern for us," said Vikings Coach Bud Grant, "when you consider that Lonnie Warwick missed 10 games last year due to injuries. We are hopeful that Lonnie can make a comeback, but we are very pleased to have a youngster of Simon's skills coming in." Alan Page, in 1967, is the only rookie to win a starting position under Grant.

four from his own national championship team, and three each from Stanford, the Rose Bowl champion, and Notre Dame. Twenty three of his choices were selected in the first round of the National Football League's 1972 draft and 17 were taken by the pros in the second round. Devaney selected Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan, Auburn's superb passer, at quarterback along with his own tandem of Jerry Tagge and Brownson, who piloted the Cornhuskers to consecutive undefeated seasons. Thirty one schools are represented on the squad Devaney will take to camp at Northwestern University for three weeks of preparations beginning July 6. It'll be 39th annual clash between the leading collegians and the professional champions in the game originated by the Chicago Tribune Charities, the sponsoring organization.

Italian Retains Ring Crown With 12th-Round Knockout GENOA, Italy (AP) Bruno Arcari of Italy retained the World Boxing Council's version of the junior welterweight title Saturday night with a 12-round knockout of Brazilian challenger Joao Henrique.

The knockout punch came on a vicious left hook early in the round. Each fighter weighed pounds. Arcari outfoxed Henrique throughout the match with superior boxing and above all nearperfect timing in his blows. The Italian, although shorter and with a shorter reach, dominated the Brazilian and kept Henrique away. The Brazilian had fought Arcari in Rome in another title bout 15 months ago, He appeared a much better boxer then and his defeat on points drew controversy.

But this time it appeared he was not a boxer of world class. got the final point with a 3 and 2 victory over British left-hander Kathryn Phillips. In the morning, each team won one match, with another halved stage then foursome, was set singles over the 6,331 yards par 38-37-75 Western Gailes course. The blonde Miss Baugh, was the Americans' most impressive winner. But she started disastrously against the experienced Mrs.

Robertson, a veteran of five Curtis Cup campaigns. The young American hooked her far into the rough and the first hole. But concerted then she turned on the power for her easy victory. Miss Baugh was three holes up by the seventh. At that hole, she sank four-foot putt for a par three while Mrs.

Robertson missed from 12 inches. The American champion birdied the eighth and ninth and turned five up. Mrs. Robertson pulled one back when Miss Baugh bogeyed the dogleg 11th, but the American came back with a birdie four at the 12th and wrapped up the match with a par three at the 13th. Barbara McIntire, 37-year-old veteran from Colorado Springs, Colo, lost 6 and 5 to Mary Everard.

Then Martha Kirouac of Rancho Bernardo, lost: 3 and 2 to Mary McKenna, and the American lead was cut to 8-7. Mrs. Kirouac, the only American to win both her matches Friday, was plagued by the gusty conditions Saturday. She also lost her foursome match. British champion Michelle Walker, two down at the 10th, rallied to win one up against Jane Booth of Palm Beach Gardens, and tie the score 8-8.

Meanwhile, Miss Smith, who earlier this week was in bed with a chill, was steadily winning her match against Miss Frearson. The American girl was three up at the turn and virtually wrapped up the match with a birdie at the 12th for four up lead. The British player pulled one back at the 13th, but Miss Smith held on for victory. This was the 13th American victory since the Curtis Cup competition began in 1932.

"The other girls never mentioned anything to me before because they knew I was her friend and had worked with her. "Now they tell me this has been going on for a while and they have affidavits, pictures, everything to prove their side. Janie has been given three warnings. "The sad part is that Janie doesn't need to resort to this because she has talent to win," Toski added. Bud Erickson, LPGA executive director, told the Herald that the committee had tried to protect Miss Blalock from a public scandal.

"We told Janie we were going to suspend her, but we said we'd let her announce that she was dropping off with a bad back, or other imaginary ailment," Erickson said. "We couldn't see any reason to embarrass her." Miss Blalock, the year's leading money winner with $32,886, has denied violating LPGA rules. "I wish," Toski added, "that the LPGA had just fined her $5,000 instead of suspending her.

Texas, down 8-0, rallied for nine runs in the seventh inning to eliminate second-ranked Mississippi 9-8 in 1 the afternoon's loser's bracket game of the double-elimination tournament. Todd, a sophomore all-America, finished with a six-hitter and struck. out 14 in a classic pitcher's duel, besting Temple's Ed Molush, who went the distance and allowed 14 hits. Bobby Jack's tenth home run gave Oklahoma (35-15) a 1-0 lead in the sixth, but Temple (31-14) gained a tie in the eighth on a Todd wild pitch.

Jacks' single led off the 13th, and after a fielder's choice, sacrifice and two walks, Fleming, the Sooners' eighth hitter, singled past Temple's drawn-in infield. Molush (7-3) struck out 10. Jackson ran his record to 11-2 for fourth-ranked Oklahoma. Houston Aeros Sign Three Defensemen HOUSTON (AP) The Houston Aeros announced Saturday the signing of three defensemen to contracts with the World Hockey Association club. They are John Schella, who signed a three year contract, and Dune McCallum and Gordon Kannegeisser, who signed two-year pacts.

Schella comes to Houston from Vancouver of the National Hockey League. McCallum spent the 1971-72 season with the San Diego Gulls Kannegeisser was with the Denver Spurs last year, both in the Western League. British Horse Gains Epsom Oaks Victory EPSOM, England (AP)-Ginevra rallied from last place and won the Epsom Oaks Saturday upsetting hopes of a double for the United States. Ginevra, carrying odds of 8-1, finished lengths ahead of Regal Exception, a 100-1 shot owned by American Robin Scully of Clovelly Farms, Ky. Arkadina, co-favorite at 6-1 and the hope of Mrs.

Jane Engelhard of New York, was third, a neck behind Regal Exception. After Roberto had won the derby last Wednesday for American John Galbreath of Darby Dan Farm, it looked as if the two big Epsom classics might be won by American owners. Lester Piggott, Roberto's jockey, was named to ride Arkadina, favorite for the fillies' race, which has been run at Epsom Downs since 1779. Piggott kept Arkadina in sixth or seventh place in the field of 17, just as he had done with Roberto in the Derby. He made his move when the field rounded Tattenham Corner into the final straight but this time he didn't make it.

Arkadina closed in on the leading horses, but Ginevra came from even further back and outran her. Regal Exception led for a time, but Ginevra raced to the front 40 yards from the finish line and steadily widened the gap. Charles St. George, Ginevra's British owner, picked up a prize of $77,685. Second prize was $22,880 and Mrs.

Engelhard collected $11,219 for third place. Lady Jones, co-favorite with Ginevra, finished fourth. Ginevra, sired by Shantung out of Zest, is trained by Harry Price. followed a pre-sentence in- vestigation by the probation of- fice. In trembling voice, Rodgers told the court "if you send me to jail my life and career will be ruined." He said an undisclosed university official advised him that unless placed on probation Rodgers would not be able to play football.

Rodgers was permitted to play last fall although under two years probation for a felony offense growing out of a 1970 service station holdup. Under those circumstances, "a misdemeanor shouldn't end your career," the judge observed. Lee Chatfield, university dean of student services, said he "would not accept as a blanket statement" the suggestion that a jail term would keep Rodgers out of the university and off the football team. "There was a time when we tossed a kid out of school for speeding, but we're a lot more liberal now," he said. It is possible, Chatfield said, that Rodgers' status might be reviewed prior to the start of fall tion of classes, football but said participation the "outside the academic service area." Ely Meyerson, interim executive dean of students, said the administration in the past has taken the position that it would not become involved in police and court matters if the situation represented no threat to the university community.

He said other students involved with the law in the past have not been suspended. His blows were poorly timed and poorly aimed. The challenger appeared nervous and stifflegged from the start of the match, but he stood up well as Arcari gave him a severe punishment for most of the rounds. Arcari was clearly leading the match when the knockout punch came. The champion had shaken Henrique repeatedly and the Brazilian appeared on the verge of collapsing on various occasions.

Henrique, although four years younger than Arcari, was soon out of wind, staggering across the ring and an easy target for Arcari's swift left- right combinations. It was the fifth title defense of Arcari, 30, since he won the title in 1970 from Pedro Adique of The Philippines. The champion now has a record of 52, wins, 31 by knockouts, and two losses. Henrique, 26, now has 40 wins, I one draw and four losses. Henry Aaron of the Atlanta Braves entered this season needing 193 total bases to take over the National League career lead in that category.

Current record-holder Stan Musial had 6,134 total bases in his career,.
