That year Carl walloped 44 home runs, the second highest in Red Sox history. Jimmy Foxx hit 50 home runs in 1938. Yastrzemski admitted he becomes angered when clubs pitch around him.

"That's why I may start thinking about going for base hits in the late innings at Fenway Park," he said, "I can think about home runs the first couple of times I come to the plate. That's the only times the pitchers challenge me." To illustrate how Yastrzemski is thinking, his per-formance in the four game series against Cleveland should suffice. He had two hits in 19 trips against Indians' pitching, and those hits were home runs. Yastrzemski's batting average has slipped to .266, but his home run total has soared to 19 just two behind teammate Rico Petro-celli. SOX SHORTS George Thomas, who replaced Dal-ton Jones at first last night against Cleveland, went 3 for 5.

George bounced a double into the left field stands in the ninth, and then retraced his steps to touch first base after missing the bag. "'I should get a triple for reaching three bbases," joked George Tony Conigliaro came out of a slump with three hits, including bunts his first two times at bat The Hawk, infuriated by a strike call by plate umpire O'Donnell, National League Results 5 10 3 7 8 16 At St Louis (Grant).

"Yes, I've been going for Jiome runs, not base hits," said Yastrzemski, after he had poled his sixth home yun in 10 days and his 19th of the season last night to help the Red Sox down the Indians, 3-0. Yastrzemski, with George Thomas aboard, socked his home run over the leaping iorm of ex-Red Sox teammate Ken Harrelson who backed against the right field fence and then fell CARL YASTRZEMSKI Sown.

It jumped the Sox to a 2-0 first inning lead. "Dick O'Connell, Haywood Sullivan and some others in the Red Sox front office Jvould rather see me go for more base hits and a better batting average," claims Yastrzemski, "but I never discuss stastistics with them.

The Royals also placed pitcher Dave Morehead on the 21-day disabled list with a groin injury suffered Wednesday night married for the fourth off on a winning streak." homer in the seventh for a 4 to 3 lead. Jim Grant pitched 5 scoreless innings of relief), against his former teammates for the victory in the afternoon contest.

Bobby Tolan's three-run homer highlighted a four-run Cincinnati burst in the eighth inning that put Cincinnati ahead 7-6, but Bobby Bonds drove in a run in the bottom of the eighth for a tie. Then Tony Perez singled and May got his fourth hit, opening the ninth, and Helms doubled to break the deadlock. Willie McCovey drove in three runs for San Francisco with a single and his 22d homer, despite the four-man outfield the Reds again used aginst him in another day game. Wilson, 6-6, drove in the run he needed with a sacrifice fly that capped a three-run second inning and he went on to divide eight hits as Houston sent the Padres to their fourth loss in a row and eighth in nine starts. Wilson struck out 10 and walked two.

Associated Press Richard Nixon was the people's choice in 1968 and he's not lining up bipartisan support from a certain group of Washington Senators in 1969. The President showed up at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium with daughter Julie and son-in-law David Eisenhower Thursday night, just in time to see the baseball-playing Senators blow a 2-0 decision to the red-hot Baltimore Orioles. It was Mr. Nixon's third trip to the ballpark to root, root, root for the home team and the third time he's struck out.

That might be party politics, as far as Bob Short, owner of the Senators and treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, is concerned, but it's no way to treat a loyal supporter like Manager Ted Williams, who voted for Mr. Nixon last November. In other American League activity, the New York Yankees downed Detroit 5-3, Minnesota flattened California 8-1 and the Chicago White Sox outlasted Seattle 13-10. Kansas City and Oakland were not scheduled. Mr.

Nixon was delayed in leaving for the ballpark by a news conference and didn't get there until the eighth inning. Jim Hannan had blanked the Orioles for seven innings'but tired and gave way to Dennis Higgins to start the eighth. Higgins was in hot water immediately. Don Buford doubled, Paul Blair beat out a bunt and slugging Frank Robinson was advancing to the bat. which was bad enough.

Then the President made his entrance. Home plate umpire John Flaherty held up the game until Mr. Nixon's party was seated. Williams ordered his infield to play back and Robinson bounced into a double play as Buford scored. That was all Dave McNally needed as he hurled a two-hitter for his 10th victory and the Orioles' seventh in a row.

Baltimore pushed across an insurance run in the ninth on Brooks Robinson's double, a wild pitch and Dave Johnson's sacrifice fly. McNally yielded only leadoff singles to Tim Cullen in the third and Paul Casanova in the ninth.

O'Donnell wasted little time thumbing him out The Red Sox begin a week-end series with the Yankees tonight. Mike Nagy, 3-0, of the Red Sox hooks up with Fritz Peterson, 8-7, of the Yankees. And beginning Monday night, it will be Ken Harrelson making his first appearance at Fenway Park in a Cleveland Indians' uniform. The Indians will be here for five games in four days. Umpire His Own Pitchometer The Baseball Pitchometer wasn't ready for use in last night's game between the Red Sox and Indians at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, but the same can't be said about the umpires especially Jerry Neudecker.

The pitchometer, purchased by the Cleveland ballclub, shows if a pitcher delivers a ball to the plate within 20 seconds. If he doesn't, a heavy duty eir horn sounds. Some corrections are still being made on it. So Neudecker, umpiring at second, was his own pitchometer. With Rico Petrocelli at bat with an 0-2 count in the fifth inning, Gary Kroll, a Cleveland relief pitcher, had a called ball assessed against him by Neudecker when he failed to release a pitch to Petrocelli within 20 seconds.

"I have a stop watch that I hold, and as soon as the batter, Petrocelli, in this case, steps in the batter's box, I start the countdown from 20 seconds to zero," explained Neudecker, "It'a the first time I've called it this year." Petrocelli eventually worked Kroll for a walk. The four umpires who worked the Red Sox-Cleveland series, have called the 20-second pitching violation four times. Jake O'Donnell charged the Yankees' Bill Burbach with the offense once and Lou DiMuro called it twice, against John Wyatt of Oakland and Tom Murphy of California. NEIL SINGELAIS.

Since his return from the minors Shamsky has spoken eloquently and persuasively with his bat, hitting .351 with nine runs batted in and three games in 21 games. He made a big impression on Philadelphia, too, Thursday night by cracking two singles and two homers as the Mets edged the Phillies 6-5.

He kept the Mets in the game by driving in three runs and scoring three until Ken Boswell was able to slam a two-out, two-run single in the ninth inning for the victory. But Shamsky wasn't the only four-hit man of the day as Lou Brock's fourth hit, a homer, broke a tie and sent St. Louis to a 5-3 victory over Montreal and Lee May had four hits for Cincinnati before Tommy Helms' double in the ninth gave the Reds an 8-7 triumph over San Francisco. Don Wilson and the Houston Astros beat San Diego 4-2 in the only other game. Brock started a two-run rally in the third for St.
