24 The Boston Globe Tuesday, September 4, 1973 Pats 'draft' Steeler safety, land kicker Clark V. BUD COLLINS 4 iHeldman nudge dethrones King The Pats' kicking job obviously is open. Charlie Gogolak's recovery from an achilles tendon operation has been slow all right on field goals, but I'm not strong enough to kick and Bill Bell has been a disappointment. Though Bell's kickoffs have been fine, he has hit only three of 10 field goal attempts and has missed his last four in a row. "I'd guess you could say we're not completely satisfied with our kicking," Fairbanks said, "what we're looking for is a guy who can be both an effective kick-off man getting the ball somewhere over the goal line and hanging it for at least four seconds and 65 percent efficient on field goals from the 40 and in." Despite losing to the Washington Redskins, 35-14, only Sunday night, the Pats met yesterday because this will be a shortened week with a Friday night game.

Players exercised individually, then met for film reviews of the Washington troubles. to Pittsburgh if Anderson doesn't play a minute. i "We've been talking about this guy with Pittsburgh for quite a while," Fairbanks said. "I think we made a fair trade. We gave up a draft pick of equal value." Clark, cut this past week by Buffalo in favor of John Leypoldt, arrived yesterday.

He is coming off a season of inactivity, suffering a broken arm last year in the Bills' final exhibition game. "I'd been cut by Dallas and arrived last year in Buffalo on a Thursday night," the 32-year-old veteran said. "I kicked that Friday night and broke my arm. I tackled some little running back's leg and he kicked me with his other leg. "The doctors had to put a pin in my arm and I was in the cast for 17 weeks.

Actually, I think the rest probably helped me. It gave me a chance to evaluate myself and give me some goals. I'm probably kicking easier and with more control than I ever have." By Leigh Montville Globe Staff FOXBORO Labor Day was a labor day for all of the Patriots yesterday, but the busiest folk at Schaefer Stadium were working in the front office. This was cutdown day, the next-to-last NFL roster slash, from 49 players to 44. The Pats had to trim eight players from their roster at the start of the day and increased their problem by adding two more players to the roster before the 4 o'clock cutting deadline.

Ralph (Sticks) Anderson was obtained from the Pittsburgn Steelers in an "undisclosed" draft choice deal. He is a three-year veteran free safety from West Texas State and was a starter last year. Mike Clark, the veteran field goal kicker, was obatined on waivers from the Buffalo Bills. A 10-year professional, Clark has made stops with the Eagles, Steelers, Cowboys (where he was All-Pro in 1967) and the Bills. He will make his debut for the Pats in a hurry, doing all of the kicking in Friday night's, exhibition finale against the Lions in Detroit.

The Pats' other moves yesterday were kept secret. This was the final chance for teams to put players on waivers with a chance for recall and historically has been one of the wildest days in the NFL beef market. Next week's four final roster cuts will be irrevocable. "I'm sure there'll be a lot of good football players put out there today on the waiver wire," coach Chuck Fairbanks said, "but that dosen't necessarily mean they're going to stay there. Actually, it probably won't be until Wednesday that we'll know who we have and don't have." Fairbanks obviously was pleased with the fnderson trade.

The coach has spent much of his front office time in the past few weeks looking for secondary help and he thinks he might have found some here. The trade is not one of those conditional, look see types. The draft choice belongs NEW YORK The King was dead, and she knew 'it. Billie Jean was "seeing stars" and "couldn't see the ball anymore" just before she declared herself ex-champion on a technical knockout by a triumvirate of Julie Holdman, respiratory infection and heat exhaustion. For the sixth straight brutally torrid and sticky day, the US Open felt as though it was wrapped in a shroud of Harris tweed.

Yet Billie Jean King looked minutes from a successful escape to the showers when she built her, lead to 6-3, 4-1 against Julie Heldman, a shrewd, tough "thinking broad" (as Julie classified herself), but yesterday just another outclassed opponent. What the crowd stacked around the clubhouse court at Forest Hills couldn't know was this! Nothing was left ihside King, the woman who is next to test the Supreme phauvinist, Bobby Riggs. They couldn't have dreamed 3that Billy Jean wasn't going to win her 15th straight ioatch here, enroute to a third successive Open championship and that within a half hour she would abruptly1 surrender after winning only one more game. They asked each other, "what happened?" and "where's she going?" as Billie Jean walked that woozy Last Mile to the women's rhanflinff rnnm a fallpn Hpfanltino wnmsn NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP Reds go into tie for top in West AL ROUNDUP Ryan tips A's; sets 2 records 'fi j' J-. tm i r- I it at I with the score now 3-6, 6-4, 4-1 against her.

Twice before at Forest Hills, the No. 1 player of the female world has caused a furor by packing it in and walking away pleading illness and shocking the traditionalists who say coolly from the sidelines that a The triumph, Montreal's fifth in a row, pulled the Expos to within three games of front-running St. Lcuis. The Pirates enjoyed a shortlived lead in the East with a 5-4 win over the Cardinals in the opening game of a doubleheader on Richie Hebner's inside-the-park home run in the 13th but then dropped back into second as the division leading Redbirds copped the nightcap, 8-3. Hebner's homer, his 21st, came on a liner that carromed off left fielder Jose Cruz's glove into the wall.

Center fielder Luis Melendez's throw was too late to catch Hebner at the plate. The Mets and Phillies split a dcubleheader with New York taking the opener, 5-0, behind the seven-hit pitching of Jerry Koosman, 12-14, and four base hits by Ted Martinez that drove in four runs. Koosman's shutout extended his scoreless streak to 34 innings. From Wire Services Nolan Ryan fanned 12, fired a three-hitter and set two more American league strikeout records last night as the Angels defeated the Athletics, Ryan, who evened his record at 16-16, broke his own mark by striking out at least 10 batters in one game for the 19th time and he bettered the record of 650 strikeouts in two seasons set by Rube Waddell in 1903-04. He now has 326 this season and 655 for the last two campaigns.

It was the fastballing righthander's 21st Complete game of the year. He one-hit the Yankees the last time out and already has thrown two no-hitters this season. Thurman Munson's second home run of the game, a two-run shot with two out in the eighth gave the Yankees a comeback 4-3 victory over the Tigers last night. Joe Coleman, who hasn't won in a month, lost his seventh straight and dipped to 18-15 by serving up three home runs. From Wire Services Pinchhitter Ken Griffey hit a two-out, two-run single in the eighth inning last night to give the Reds a 4-3 victory over the Astros and a tie for the top in the West.

Bobby Bonds hit a grand slam in the ninth to give the Giants an 11-3 win over the Dodgers. Griffey's hit came after Johnny Bench doubled, Andy Kosco walked and Ed Armbrister beat out an infield hit off Juan Pizar-ro's glove to load the bases. Griffey then batted for Denis Menke, only his 25ih at-bat this season, and sent a looping fly to short left on an 0-2 pitch off relief pitcher Ken Forsch tc drive in two runs. Bonds's 37th home run came after the Giants had loaded the bases with none out in the ninth. San Francisco, trailing 8-1, had scored six runs in the seventh inning to close the gap.

In the ninth, Gary Thomasson walked leading off. Dave Rader attempted to sacrifice and both runners were safe when pitcher Pete Richert threw too late to second. Then Mike Sadek also bunted and again all runners were safe. Then Bonds, connected. The victory moved the Giants within five game of first place.

Steve Ronko drove in two runs with a seventh-inning double and blanked Chicago for eight innings as the Expos scored a 5-2 victory over the Cubs. GREAT ESCAPE Orlando Cepeda anages to avoid tag of Orioles' first baseman Earl Williams as he slides back to bag after falling on long single off left field wall in eighth. Cepeda injured himself on the play. (Frank O'Brien photo) It's Blair's time of year The first, by the Graig fifth, Nettles in The smash was between Reggie Smith and Rick Miller. It was headed towards the extreme corner of the Red Sox bullpen and both Smith and Miller went after it.

But the ball hit the wall, Miller hit the fence, Smith ran into the fallen Miller and Blair raced like mad around the bases. Smith threw home and the play was close enough to cause excitement. Carlton Fisk had the plate blocked, and Blair slid on the foul side of the third base line. Blair went past Carlton, and reached back with his left hand to tag the plate. Fisk thought he had Blair, but plate umpire Jerry Neudecker thought otherwise.

The second homer came after Blair went to the plate suffering from some apprehension. Ever since Tatum hit Blair (which Blair says was not intentional) Blair has naturally been concerned about facing the right hander. "I had all those thoughts go through my head, naturally," said Blair. "And when I saw this inside fast ball, the only thought I had in my mind was to hit a fly ball for a run." The ball carried into the net and Blair had his second homer. By Clif Keane Globe Staff Someone in the Orioles' organization must have a way of keeping Paul Blair pumped up.

Every year around this time the centerfielder thinks he's going to be getting his mail somewhere else the following season. He must be as gullible as hell. Yesterday before the afternoon game, Blair talked about his successor and wondered where he would be in '74. Then, Blair went out and hit two homers, one inside the park for three runs in the third inning off John Curtis, and another three-run thing in the fourth off Ken Tatum, who almost had Blair planted a couple of years ago in Anaheim when Tatum stuck a fast ball in Paul's ear. And defensively, Blair stood out as he usually does.

The homer off Curtis should have been no more than a double, possibly caught, but never a homer. But at the moment Blair is in a hot streak hitting inside-the-park homers. He hit one nine days ago in Kansas City, and now this second one. jj champion must finish somehow. Suzanne Longlen defaulted to Molla Mallory in the first round in 1923.

Helen Wills Moody forfeited the 1933 final in the third set to her bitter rival, Helen Jacobs. When Billie Jean won her 'j first title in 1967, her final round foe, Ann was fetoken down with a bum leg, but Ann hobbled all the way. "I wanted it any way I could get it," said Julie Heldman, a 27-year-old Stanford graduate, who knows the traditions, but appreciates the realities. "I thought have to break her leg to win," said Haldman. "This "was as good." Haldman, who ranks eighth nationally, grew up Idolizing Billie Jean, but isn't keen on her any more, Their dialogue while battling through this fourth round-! er let you know these were salty pros, despite the fact that they wore frilly dresses.

i Heldman, always at a disadvantage on grass, essen-i tially a groundstroker, was nonetheless as determined as Casey Jones in her gauzy, pink-billed engineer's cap. Her husky forehand was pushing Billie Jean around, but Billie Jean couldn't move much more after a harrowing 5-deuce game when Julie broke serve fpr 2-1 in the third. Billie Jean wasn't charging the net any more. She was sagging. Julie said, "are you all right A little psyche? "I think I'm gonna faint," replied BJ.

"Sure you can go on?" Heldeman said. TZ "I've got to." King has never been short on guts. They played two more games. It was 4-1 for Held- Iinan. Her mother, Gladys Heldman of Houston, was srnoking like mad on the clubhouse terrace.

When Julie I had trailed 1-4 in the second, her old lady kept saying, "dammit, I've been telling her to get the first serve in I since she was eight." I. Now Pancho Segura counseled Mama Heldman, Ju- lie's gonna win. All she has to do is put the ball over the net." I "I hope she doesn't clutch," said Mama. "She's so close, but BJ is tough. Give me clucose, give me salt pills, give me a drink." "You're not playing," said Seguar.

"That's what you think." On court, King was dawdling at the change game, I trying to pull herself together like Joe Frazier in the I corner after that first round with George Foreman. Her 1 secretary, Marilyn Barnett King must be the only athlete who brings her secretary along to the playground handed the champion a towel. I "Is a minute up?" Heldman snapped at the umpire, Judy Lessing. "She only gets a minute to change courts." Julie knew the rules. The umpire nodded that Heldman 5 was correct.

I "If you want it that bad," Billie Jean sighed, "I I quit" J- To Julie Heldman, Billie Jean's rasping voice seemed as melodic as Renata Tebaldi singing "Un Bel J-Dio." I Julie put out her hand faster than Wyatt Earp. "I Wasn't gonna debate. She said quit. That's it, I would have kicked her I wanted it so bad," said Julie. "I didn't I want her to die on court" (in the locker room, maybe?) I "But we're old enough to play by the rules.

I'm no mean f-ojd woman, but I know the rules, and I called her on I them." Billie Jean recalled (after passing out to an hour's sleep in the dressing room), "I wanted to go once I tried to clear my head. But Julie pushed me on the 60-second rale, so I had to quit. I'll be ready for Riggs. I had a cold, aa infection. I took penicillin injections.

It wasn't just I the heat. I've never quit in heat a lot worse than this in Australia." (She had defaulted once before, to Chris I Evert, in 1971, in a match played too soon after surgery.) i Any time a champion quits, it creates a brouhaha. I Remember Paul Pender and Sonny Liston giving up in jj their corners? The- chauvinists will scream with glee. I Jack Kramer, head of the men's union, said Billie Jean was "disgraceful" for pulling out. Still, when I consider what this extraordinary woman has done for her game her sex and that Con Edison is blowing gaskets all over town in this heat I guess a dynamo named "King can burn out, too.

Bobby Riggs, whom she challenges Sept. 20, is prob- ably chortling and trying to figure a way to jam the conditioning at the Astrodome. Designated pitcher a hit MILWAUKEE Eduardo Rodriguez, Milwaukee's rookie relief pitcher, became the fourth American League pitcher to bat this season and the first to get a hit when he tripled in the eighth inning against Cleveland, i Rodriguez, batting clean-up after manager Del iCrandall sent designated hitter Bobby Mitchell to left field, hit a line drive off Jerry Johnson that rolled to the bright center field wall. i He rounded second, ignored a sign by third base coach Joe Nossek to hold up, slid into third, then bounced and scored when the throw to third was wild. Rodriguez said he saw Nossek's sign too late.

4 1 already passed the base," he said. "I no can stop. -J5o I keep running. I get pretty tired." SOUTH BOSTON NEPONSET CIRCLE 0 Bob Collier's gray hair vanished so gradually no one noticed! chopped a 3-0 Detroit lead to 3-1. Then Munson smashed his 19th, a solo shot in the sixth, to shave Detroit's lead to one run and he hit his 20th after Roy White walked with two out in the eighth.

Chuck Brinman's seventh inning single scored Eddie Leon with the deciding run to give the White Sox a 5-2 victory over the Rangers and a doubleheader sweep after Carlos May batted in five runs in an 11-inning 8-7 decision in the opener. John Lowenstein drove in three runs on two doubles and a single and scored twice to lead Cleveland to a 10-5 win over Milwaukee and a double-header split after Don Money drove in four runs in the Brewers' 13-5 opening game win. Cleveland pulled off a triple play in the first inning of the second game when John Brohamer speared Don Money's liner with runners on first and second. He doubled the runner off second and threw to first to complete the triple play. Pinch hitter Rich Reese delivered a game-tying single in the ninth inning and then scored on Eric Soder-holm's bloop double Bob Darwin hit a three-run homer as the Twins scored seven runs and beat the Kansas City Royals, 115.

The Royals had taken a 5-4 lead on Paul Schaal's eighth-inning homer and the Minnesota rally prevented them from gaining ground on the front-running Oakland A's, wno lost to California.
