THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1966 PAGE ELEVEN The Law Catches Up With Phillies; Right-hander Hurls 6 Shutout Innings By IRA MILLER PITTSBURGH (AP) It took (wo nights, but The Law caught Up with the Philadelphia Phillies Vernon Law, that is. The Pittsburgh Pirates' veteran right-hander, who couldn't anybody out Tuesday night, came back Wednesday night. -He hurled six innings of shutout, one-hit relief in the Pirates' 6-4 victory over the Phillies. Pittsburgh moved back into first place in the National by one percentage point over San Francisco, which lost fl-4 to Cincinnati MANAGER ENTHUSED "That's the best I've seen him all year," enthused Manager Harry Walker. "I went to him and asked him he could go," Walker said "He didn't pitch much Tuesday and I thought maybe we could give our bullpen some needed rest." Walker, who won't let the pressures of the torrid National League race bother him, was in his office practicing his golf putting before some of his players had even reached the club.

bouse. "ONLY RELAXATION" "The only relaxation I get," he said as he discussed the normally potent Pirates' collection of 13 singles, mostly scratchers to the opposite field against three Phil hurlers. "They hit when they Walker said. "That's what's made them such a good club all year. This is a big game "for us because they could have gained two full games by winning this and Thursday." Gene Mauch, whose Phillies have now dropped four of their last five and just about fallen back out of the race they trail by seven scoffed at the Pittsburgh hitting.

"Put all their hits end to end and they might just reach the center field fence," he said. Law, who was making his first relief appearance of the season, didn't have any explanation for the overnight change ia form, but said he felt he could pitch again tonight if he had to. "Lot's of times that will happen," he said. "I felt I was throwing the ball good last (Tuesday) night but tonight it was better. An arm is like that "If they called me again tomorrow (Thursday) night, I think I'd have just as good stuff.

You can stay in that groove until your arm is tired. Mine isn't tired now and I haven't pitched enough this season to have a tired arm." WINNING RUN Pittsburgh broke a 4-4 tie and scored the winning run in the fifth inning on a single by Willie Stargell, an infield out and a single by Bill Mazeroski. Mazeroski's ground out also delivered one of three runs in the Pirates' third The other two came across on a single by Bob Bailev. SHENANDOAH TONIGHT'S ENTRIES FIRST--S1500. VO far.

(AP) -You want to know why Jack Nicklaus makes so much money playing golf? He practices. After shooting a 7-5 Wednesday in the pro-amateur tournament at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club, "Ohio as some golf people describe the Columbus belter, adjourned to the practice range to adjust a few things.

Nicklaus and 143 other golfers teed off today in the Philadelphia Golf Classic, a 72-hole test for $110,000 in prize money, including first-place loot The 26-year-old Nicklaus feels kind of a proprietorship interest in the Philadelphia Classic. He won the top money each of the last two years over the 6,708 yard, par-72 Whitemarsh course. Demonstrating that be believes in staying with a winning formula, Nicklaus birdied his favorite hole the 17th at Whitemarsh Wednesday in the pro-am. He missed an eight- foot putt for an eagle, then holed out. Nicklaus, in 19M, scored an eagle at the 17th that enabled him to finisa first, and last year he birdied the same hole to snap a last-round tie with Doug Sanders and Jot Campbell, as he won by one stroke.

Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Mike Souchak were late starters today. GOES TO PARTY Palmer also played in the pro-am, but the Latrobe, golfer hit a couple out of bounds and did not turn in a score card. He didn't practice afterward. He went to a party given by the tournament sponsors. The biggest challenge to Nicklaus' domination of the Classic appeared to be Bitty Casper, the U.S Open Champion.

Casper came oat of his air-conditioned quarters specially fitted for his allergy condition--to shoot a in the pro- am. His team won the best-ban event. The winner of four tournaments this year, the San Diego, Western and Indianapolis 500, as well as the U.S. Open, Casper has been playing the best golf of his 12-year career.

ORIOLES DROP INDIAN GAME, STILL IN LEAD By RON RAPOPORT AtMCiatad Press Sports Writer The Baltimore Orioles are in a bit of a slump but it'll take a Miracle of Michigan Avenue or a Legend of Lake Erie if Detroit or Cleveland are going to take advantage of it. Both clubs picked up a game on the Birds Wednesday, the Indians with a 104 victory over them, but with less than 40 games to go the Orioles could hardly be blamed for not taking the defeat or their current three-game losing streak particularly seriously.

LOSING STREAK Baltimore remains games up on the second-place Tigers and a full 13 ahead of the Indians, who are in third. If the Indians win today the Baltimore losing string will equal its longest of the season. In all, the Orioles have lost four of their last five contests, all at the hands of Detroit and Cleveland. Totally unaffected by the recent dip in his team's fortunes, however, is Frank Robinson who raised his league-leading homer total to 40 Wednesday with two shots in the losing effort. HOLDS HOMER CROWN That's one more than Frank's best previous output, attained in Cincinnati in 1962.

For all his power, Robinson never led the National League in homers (or batting or runs batted in either, for that matter. But barring a Rutbian effort by Boog Powell, Harmon Killebrew, Joe Pepitone or one of that crowd, he's got the AL homer crown in the bag. In other American League action, Detroit beat Chicago 6-2, California edged New York 2-1, Washington squeezed by Minnesota 6-5 in 11 innings and Kansas City took both games of a twi-night doubleheader 4-2 and 8-3. NATIONAL LIAGUI In the National League, Pittsburgh beat Philadelphia 64, San Francisco took Cincinnati 9-4, Chicago edged New York 6-5, Houston beat St. Louis 7-2 and Los Angeles nipped Atlanta 2-1 in 11 innings.

The big Cleveland bats were swung by Joe Atcue, who had three runs batted in. and Max Ahris and Rocky Colavito, with two apiece. Robinson's three RBI raised bis total for the season to 95, just two behind the league leader, teammate Boog Powell. Bill Freeban's first homer in more than a month started a tour-run second inning for the Tigers. Willie Horton also hom- ered and Mickey Lolich.

(AP)-Three American teams and one Japan face semifinal action today in the 20th annual Little League Baseball World Scries.

SCORE FOUR RUNS The Japanese youngsters scored four runs in the top of the eighth inning on two walks, a passed ball, a wild pitch and three errors. The rally broke a scoreless tie that had forced the game to go beyond the normal six innings. Soosuke Takahashi went all the way on the for Osaka, striking out six batters, walking only two and assisting in six put outs. i baseman Masanobu Minbu, who earlier in the week had been sent to the infirmary with a i temperature, scored what proved to be the whining run on a catcher's error. MAXWELL LOSES Brian Maxwell, who came in from center field to pitch for Rhein Main in the fourth inning, was charged with the loss.

Earlier, West New York defeated Kankakee, 111., 3-1, on a three run homer by pitcher Mario Ruiz. Ruiz, 12, a native Cuban who fled with his family to the United States four years ago, hit an inside curve over the left field fence in the third inning. Kankakee's lone tally came in the top of third when third baseman Terry Lofton doubled, and shortstop C. Nutall followed with a single. Roland Sabatini, West New York manager, praised Ruiz after the game.

HAS CONFIDENCE "This boy is a real determined youngster and real sure of himself." he said. "He's not cocky, but he has coniidance." Osaka's manager, Yoshiharu Yamada, singled out shortstop Masaki Tsuchida and pitcher Takahashi for praise. He said Tsuchida had made several very good fielding plays. Referring to Takahashi, he said: "I told him to throw to the outside corner, end he did." Takahashi put down a serious Rhein Main threat in the last of the sixth when he struck out first baseman Denver Gartner with the bases loaded. Asked how he felt when he was about to deliver the crucial pitch, he replied: "I was completely numb.

I had no feeling at ell." In a consolation game. Monterrey, defeated Windsor, Ontario. 8-7, on a three run homer in the last of the sixth by Jose Villa. NEGROES BACK POWER 6ROOP NEW YORK (AP) The fascination of some young, city- bred Negroes with the slogan "black power" was evident Wednesday night as 500 teenagers and young adults gathered to shout their approval of- its more militant advocates.
