Lenny Green, a former Vancouver Mountie. It was an even swap of two outfielders who have not been playing regularly. Braves Ruin 12-lnning Perfect Game MILWAUKEE (AP) A slender southpaw joined baseball's immortals today wondering what a guy has to do to win. Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates counted only another loss after turning in the most mag nificent pitching performance in the history of the game.

Haddix, a 33-year-old veteran, hurled perfect ball, setting down 36 batters in order, against the heavy-hitting Milwaukee Braves Tuesday night only to lose by an official 2-0 count in the 13th. A throwing error, a sacrifice, an intentional walk and a rule-book double spelled heart break for the 155-po under. Haddix became the first pitcher in major league history to hurl a perfect game beyond nine innings. And, despite the loss, he re-wrote the record book with the longest no-hitter.

Spokane manager Bobby iThe Brati Bragan snickered as Bud Wat kins strode to the pitcher's mound here Tuesday night.

THE END Harvey's mound opponent, Lew Burdette, surrendered eight hits, but the Pirates couldn't push across a run in regulation time. In the top of the 13th, Haddix suffered his big setback. Don Hoak tried to hurry a throw on Felix Mantilla's sharp grounder to third and fired into the dirt at first for an error. Eddie Mathews laid down a sacrifice, forcing Pittsburgh to intentionally walk Hank Aaron.

Big Joe Adcock stepped to the plate, looked at a ball and then crashed a drive over the fence. Mantilla scored, but Aaron touched second and then raced across the diamond, headed for the dugout. Apparently Hank thought the ball hadn't left the field. "BAD PITCH" Adcock passed Aaron on the basepaths, touching third, before Hank remembered.

AP photo. Last week at Capilano Stadium, Watkins gave up a home run to the first batter he faced in relief of Chuck Estrada, handing Bragan's Indians a 1-0 win.

Going into the ninth inning, the Mounties had a 5-3 lead behind Estrada, attemping to go the distance for the first time this season.

However, Metro charges that in the only game the Mounties have played in Seattle, May 13, Hutchinson changed the ground rule to make any ball hit above the line a double. Metro said, "They changed that rule for one reason our right-handed power." Since that time, the rule has again been changed to make such a hit a home run. LETTER SENT Mounties have written to O'Connor protesting Hutchinson's actions and asking for immediate clarification of the ground rule "to prevent changing back and forth all season." Hutchinson, queried by telephone on the charges, said, "Metro and I are both having trouble getting our learns to hit.

What's Charlie trying to do, get his mind off his troubles?" He would not comment on the charge that he had changed the rules to suit himself but said, "I'd put the damn fence on rollers if it would help us win." POST PARADE: Tony Didn't Check, Didn't Score EXHIBITION PARK POST TIMES Wed. fir Fri 4:45 p.m. Saturdays and Holidays 2:00 p.m. By MERV PETKRS I The weather wasn't the only sad story of Monday's racing card at Exhibition Park, fci Take this scene: Tony Leswick, hockey player, bumps Into Jack Mr. ill, ex hockey player and horse owner (Gallant Car).

"How do you like your horse today," asks Leswick. "Got to beat the number 2 horse," states McGill, dramatically. Following this "expert" advice Leswick goes off to buy daily double tickets on the number 2 horse. Two hours later, after Leswick has won a bet Val Read, the horse he liked in the second race, they meet again. "Here," says Leswick, "lake your lousy tickets on the 2 horse." He had bought three of lliem.

On examining the llckclr. Mcfilll discovered Leswick had bought number 3, the winner Pull Thru, by mistake. Tony hadn't bothered to check. Had Leswick realized his error, he would have put the tickets to Val Read In the second race and won himself the double three times. It paid $41.20.

All of litis proves that as a punter Leswick makes a good hockey player. As a tout, McGill makes a good ex hockey player. Another sad story: Friend of a friend is silling in a book Jolnl Salurday and picks Armed Leaf and Prince Alfred to win the double. One friend offers to carry the bet to the track since the book's maximum payoff on the double is a mere $60. Friend declines offer and bets $1 with the bookie.

Because he wouldn't send a $2 bet to the track, which was worth $1,262 each to six others, Iv wound up with $30 for his $1 with the bookie, There's a moral here, somewhere. Sadder, still: That perennial beef about Ihe length of time laken between races has come up again. It's legitimate, loo, by Ihe last two racing days. Salurday the Interval between races was minutes, the longest a whopping 4,1 minute delay before Ihe last race. In between, there were gaps of 31, 35, 37 and 33.

Monday Ihe average was 28 minutes, the longest 34 before the eighth race. It should never be more than 25 minutes at the maximum, especially in this weather which we aren't enjoying. Probable explanation for the harsh, five-day suspension (Ihrce race days I levied on leading jockey Hon Richards for "careless riding" aboard Bean Sierra, winner of Saturday's feature race: Day before Rhards was fined $50 for the same offence aboard Frayed. The stewards continued to crack down Monday. Ron Carrlere was set down for three days (two racing days) for "careless riding" while up on Burrard In the second race.

And $50 was levied mi Jockey Jimmy Slvewrlght fop falling to main-lain a straighl course leaving Ihe gate with HadtOfO Mhc winner) In the eighth race. What you don't hear after you've bet your money and lost: Story says Queeniboro ad went poslwards minus I wo shoes. He lost. Nexl start he was fully clolhed and won off by himself for a $70 mutuel. Not only baby needs shoes, Finally: There's nothing wrong with the mutuel play a.llttle sun won't cure.
