34 THE LOWELL SUN, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1972 tiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiim i iiiiimimiimiim iiiiiiihiiiliiiiik i iiiiuiimiimiiiiiiiniiiiii Miss Walker on the move By OWEN FLYNN Swi Sports Edltnr LCWKLL Area folk who have thrilled al the accomplishments of Lowell's Denise Walker who for the pas! year has per 5 formed In the Robinson School gym in her quest for fame will have to forego watching the demure Miss perform for at least a yzar. Denise has finally departed for Con neeticul where she' will undergo dally training under the watchful eye of Olym pic coach Muriel ftrossfeld as Hie 12 year old youngster develops into a 1976 I Olympian. Miss Walker's recent accomplishment tn Ihe Eastern Slates Junior Olympic finals have given the youngster no alter native hut to go on and try and make the team four years hence. 5 DENISE COMPETED In the Regional but was disqualified from taking pari in the upcoming Nationals because of her age. Miss Grossfeld was advised of this during the course of the Easterns but permitted Denise to go on and complete.

She had 5 won 1 first place in compulsory when ad vised that she would be ineligible for the Nationals. Stic continued to achieve honors E' gaining first place in floor exercises, first in vaulting, and second on the balance 5 beam and on Ihe uneven parallel bars. She finished first overall with 69.24 points for an average of B.66 against girls I from 13 to 16 years of age. The results of the Eastern decided Denise. She will remain in Connecticut 5 the year round where she will drill three 5 to four hours a day hi her long and tedious quest for an Olympic berth.

DENISE BEGAN her gymnastic career here in a Lowell Recreation Department I program. She began by tumbling under the watchful eye of Pat McCoy. The Lowell 5 Girls Club also took an interest in Denise and Miss Emity Tickell was also inslru 3 mental in the youngster continuing to de velop as a gymnast. we might point out tliat the youngster is sacrificing home and faimiy in order to achieve her ambition. She will reside in a convent while in Connecticut far from home and friends.

That success in the gymnastic field is paramount in Miss Walker's rrfnd is indicated since it took plenty to leave home. No doubt Denise's parents will spend many weekends visiting their daughler, who certainly deserves 3 nolliing but praise for her sacrifice. LOWELL IS slated to jet what looks like a top professional soccer team. At leasl John Cosla is organizing a local team which wilj be known as Ihe Brazilian Stars. Tiic many of whom played wilh ihe Boston Astros when Ihey were berthed in Lowell, plan on entering the American I Soccer League.

Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiimiiiiiiiiiii Sox win wild one; Yaz finds range By FRANK BARRETT, JR.

SUN SUff BOSTON They had a wild one at Fenway Park here yes terday afternoon and before things were over, the Red Son had outlasted the a Rangers, 10 9, in 11 innings, before 15,325 cardiac arrests. Car Yastrzemski, hitting like a man possessed, had five hits for the second time' in his career and Rico Pelrocelli had six runs batted in for the second time iu his career. Rico it his sixth grand slam of his career 11 be hind the Red Sox record of 17 held by none other than Ihe Rangers' current manager, Theodore Samuel Williams. But neither Yaj nor Rico was ready to claim total vic lory over American League pitching, "My timing's still off," said Yaz, whose spree raised his average from .253 lo .289. "I'm in and out," added Pe trocelli.

"One day I'm good, the next day bad. I'm not In the groove," But because the Red Sox pitching Is still not anything to fait in love with, the Hose announced that righthander Bob Bolin had been optioned to Louisville. His place on Ihe roster will be taken by righthander Lynn McGlolhen, a 21 year old firehalling righthander from Monroe, La, McGLOTHEN WAS with tbe Red Sox last, spring (raining and was sent out to Louisville for more work. Apparently he got what he needed and the Colonels' man ager Darreli Johnson, the Red Sox pitching coach in 1969, has been sending glowing re ports about him. The statistics seem to sup port his enthusiasm.

McGlolli en is 9 2 al Louisville wllh eight complete games in 13 starts. In 108 innings, McGlothen surrendered only 67 hits and 21 earned runs for an earned run average of 1.78. He also fanned 85 and walked but 37. American OlTON 1 (Biyli Ptrry), (Tlmmemonl. Hallimon.

Then he will join the Sax in Milwaukee on Friday and his new manager Eddie Kasko has a ver definite idea of how he will be used, "HE'S GOING lo be a starter with us," said Kasko, whose present rotation, Sonny Siebert excepted, looks like a pack of survivors from the Bataan Death Afarch. "He is going to start Ihe second game in Milwaukee on Sunday. "This kid can really throw the ball and he's aggressive," added Haywood Sullivan, Boston's director of player personnel, who has seen McGloth en pitch on several occasions, "He could be a good one." Hopefully, for the much maligned Hose hurling corps, he will prove to be a shot in Ihe arm. As for Bolin, his departure means a current end to a 12 year career that began with the Giants in 1961. Tall and lanky, Bolin could really throw the hall, both as a starter and reliever for the Giants.

LATER, HE worked with varying degrees of success for the Brewers and in 1970 came lo Ihe Sox from Milwaukee in a trade. Red Sox officials seem to think he lost much of Uie zing Steele offered Ayer position avrr Chet Steele, pres ently a teacher in the West ford school system, was offered a position as physical education teacher by the Ayer school committee on a motion by member Krank Glanlz, seconded by Ralph Hoffman.
