Last night the Colonels dumped a highly regarded Indian team, 18-2, to win a best two of three series with the Indians. The series went a full three games, as Ihe Colonels won the first, butfell in the second game Tuesday night. Last night ev- erj'lhing went Ihe way of the Colonels, and they should have left no doubt aboul who was Gallup's finest in Mickey Manlle baseball.

Colonel hurlor, Don Kisher, went the distance for his team, and he threw a fine one hitter at Ihe Indian squad. Fisher went Ihe distance, and though he is a control type pitcher, he did manage to pick up eight strikeouts. The Colonels wasted little time putting across Iheir first score of Ihe night, as leadolf Armstrong tripled in his first appearance at the plate, and scored on a fielder's choice which sawFishergetting put out at first. Fisher put the stops on Indian betters right away, and in Ihe second inning eight of Ihe nine Colonel batters scored at leasl once each to give the Colonels a commanding lead.

Scott Armstrong, Ron Saucedo, Don Fisher, Billy Armijo and David Haynes.Mendoza and Jackson scored twice. In the fourth inning David Ilaynes and Mike Jackson crossed the plate again, and were aided by a single by Ralph Parcdes who scored them. The Colonels added three runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth to put them out in front, 18-0. Yu Fisher had a no-hiller going for him after six inningsof play, but an error which allowed Keilh Money to get on base, and adoublebyCharlesNeahvasall Ihe Indians needed to put their two runs across. The Colonels will now have aboul a week ot rest and prac- lice before they have to face an always tough Carlsbad loam.

Fisher and the Colonels blasted the Indians, 18-2 to take the city Mickey Mantle crown, and they will now face Carlsbad in the first round of the state tourney of the end of this month. The state tour- ney will be in Farmington. (Staff) Little League Uy The Associated Press When Reggie Smilh was with SI.Louisearlierintheseasonhe had a hunch he might betraded, so he look a cram course. His subjects were the Cardinal pitchers. The hunch came true last month when the Cards dealt him to Los Angeles and now Smith is teaching a slam course and the SI.

Louishnrlers are receiv- ing failing marks. Smith has hit live home runs in a Los Angeles uniform all in the last 10 games and all against the Cardinals. Two of them came Wednesday as the Dodgers lopped St. Louis 76 in 0 innings. "I would be lying if I didn't say thai I gol moresalisfaclion hilling Ihis way against the Cardinals," Smilh admitted.

"But the main satisfaction islhe facl we won the game. It seemed like my name kept coming up in Iradi' tolksoll the lime, so I jusl made an extra effort to sludy Ihe Cardinals' pitchers. 1 guess it paid off." In other National League contests. Ihe i i a i Heds blanked the New York Mets 4-0, the Philadelphia Phillies Irim- mcd the San Diego Padres 5-1. the Pittsburgh Pirates took a pair from the Houslon Astros 5-1 and 4-1.

the Montreal Expos nipped the Atlanta Braves 4-3 and the San Francisco Giants edged Ihe Cicago Cubs 2-1. While Smith jolled his former St. Louis teammates with solo homers-his 12th and 13th-in Ihe third and fifth innings and a pair of singles, another t'xCar- dinal, pinch hitter Ted Sizemore, singled home an unearned run in Ihe bottom of the 10th inning off St. relief Pirates Down Cubs Catfish Hunter Defeats A's Mets 11 Reds 9 GALLUP(Staff) The Mets scored eighl big runs in the lourth inning and held off lale rallies by IheRedslowin 11-9in Little League action last night. Both teams scored one rim each ii i the very first inning, and neither did in the second.

In the third the Reds took a 3-1 lead, but an eight run explosion by the Mets in ihe fourth turned the game around. The Mets scored Iwice more in Ihe fifth, and those two runs proved important, as the Reds tried a comeback atlempl in the last two innings with six runs. Walter Miller was lagged the winning pilcher for the while Tom Oakerson was pegged wilh Ihe loss. Rupert Armijo started the game for the Reds, but had lo make way for 0 ak erson in the fourth when the Mets scored Iheir eight runs. Miller went the distance for Ihe Mets.

Pirates 5 Cubs 4 The Pirates and Cubs went into extra innings to decide Ihis game lasl night. Victor Aragon started the game for Ihe Pirates, but had loleavethe game to eventual winner Amie! Garcia. Tim Neal wassaddlcd with the loss. The Cubs scored first in the game in Ihe third wilh two runs, and added another inlhefourth. The Pirates collected a run of their own in the fourlh.

The Cubs made Iheir lead 4-1 in the fifth, but in the bottom half of the stanza, Ihe Pirates tied the score at 44. Robert Tice got aboard with no outs in the seventh inning, and Dink Vallejos tripled to knock in Tice for the winning run. The game was a very important one for ihe Pirates. Gome Friday CHICAGO (API -Great running, a slrong defensive bul a questionable quarterbacking corps is what Ihe College All- Stars will unveil Friday night when they meet Ihe two-time Super Bowl ehampion Pittsburgh Sleelers Friday night in Soldier Field. The midsummer football classic in which the pros hold a 309-2 edge will be nationally lelevised (ABC.

p.m., EDT). Down through Ihe years the All-Stars have had the Ulents of such greal name quarterbacks as Sammy Baugb, Cecil Isbell and Otto Graham and recent standouts like Roger Staubach. Sieve Barlkowski and Bert Jones. The No. 1 pro draft pick this year was Richard Todd of Alabama bul Todd did not report to camp, leaving Ihe quar- lerbackingduliestoMikeKruc- of Boston College, Craig Pen rose of San Diego Stale and Jeb Blount of Tulsa.

One of Ihem gel the starling job and all ihreemight get to play because of Ihcir various abilities. Coach AraParseghian is hoping one of them will gel Ihe hoi hand which will enable Ihe All-Stars to end an ll-game losing streak to the pros. The All-Stars have not won a game in Ihe series since 1963 when they upsel (lie lale Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers20-17. "Each excels at a particular type of skill and each maybe has a lillle shortcoming," said Parseghian, "But (here's no perfect football player. "Significantly, all appear to have Iremendous competilive instincts, which isa super asset.

Kruczek probably is a little faster, bul Penrose and Blount probably can throw Ihe ball bet- ler. I think all three arc excellent leaders in the huddle and they have the respect of Iheir teammales," said Parseghian. All Ihree have Iremendous credentials statistically. Kruczek set an all-lime pass completion percentage record of .073. hitting on 225 of 337 at- (empts in three years at Boston College to erase (he record of .631 held by Staubach.
