KC owner Charles O. Finley shelled out to acquire the services of the Arizona State University outfielder. While Rick's mother, Mrs. Nelda Monday, and Finley look on, A's scout Art Lilly, seated right, hands the pen to the southpaw slugger and the pact was signed following 2'z hours of negotiations. (AP Wirephoto) pHE Tigers were rallying in the eighth inning.

They had a run in. two on. one out. Al Kaline and Willie Hor-ton, core of the batting order were due up. Detroit trailed.

53. Billy Herman did the only thing any sane man would do. He called for Dick Radatz. Radatz, sometimes referred to ts The Monster, is one of the more celebrated relief pitchers in baseball. He is employed by the Eoston Red Sox and paid in the neighborhood of $45,000.

It is an unheardf salary for a relief pitcher, but a number of things about Radatz are exceptional. To begin, he is very large in the flesh. The book says he is 6-6 and 235 pounds, but the book hasn't looked at him lately. Dick is 275 if he's an ounce. Maybe more.

Charlie Dressen, manager of the Tigers, thinks more. Charlie is observant of such things and mentioned it by way of explaining why Radatz fed Horton an inside, high fast ball. Normally, Radatz feeds opposing sluggers peas that buzz around their ankles. Of course, it's possible Dick didn't believe in Horton which is getting to be a terrible mistake in the American League. TADATZ came to the mound in his considerable immensity, a signal that the game would be saved for the Bostons.

In 1962, fcis first year in the majors, Dick was 9 6 with an earned run average of 2.23 In 1963 he was 15-6 with an era of 1.98. In 1964 he was 169 with an era of 2.29. Perhaps $45 00 is not enovgh. Apart from lining up a lifetime record of 40 21 in three swift years, Radatz saved 58 games. In the first two years, he struck out 343 batters in 289 innings.

Last year he won 16 and saved 25 for a team that altogether won only 72. Small wonder he is acknowledged leader of the Red Sox. rICK got Kaline to pop up. Then he went three and two with Willie, and Willie put that inside, high one into the seats in left field for ye old ball game. That made it 44 and an era of something like five for Radatz, and 6-5 for the Tigers.

Horton leads the league in homeruns with 14 and is second in batting at .353. He has 41 runs batted in which is not too far behind the leader, Felix Mantilla who hits cleanup for the Red Sox. Felix had two hits and knocked in a run last night. One might say that Willie, the Wonder, is up, and Richard The Moose, is down. Willie says he doesn't anticipate pitches, Radatz or anybody's.

"But I thought he'd throw me his best," he added. "Instead it was up here (at the throat) and I hit it on the handle not very -good." Just good enough to win a game in the clutch, in the dramatic way. It was his third homer in as many games. Willie is special stuff. "He don't have to hit it good," said Dressen, "with that power.

If it was me, it would only go over the shortstop. It won't be long before they'll be pitching him outside and then he'll slice the ball into right field. He has to learn not to go for those bad sliders like he did before he hit the home run. Eventually, they'll have to pitch to him and he'll hit to all fields." fHARLIE considers the establishment of Horton as a front rank hitter a mere matter of time. The rest of us are handicapped by the spectacle of the batting average of Norman Cash which in 1961 was .361 and is now .193.

Dressen wasn't in the league when Norman hit .361 with 41 homers and 132 rbi. When they throw outside to Cash, it is almost too painful to watch. IIORTON'S heroics notwithstanding, Detroit pitching is not secure and can't be improved from outside, the Braves Outlast Phillies of Seattle covered the 120-yard hurdles in 15 .0 and won the broad jump in 22 feet. 4l inches. Jana Lundy of Vancouver won the women's 80-metre hurdles in 12 0 seconds and the women's half-mile went to Doris Brown of Seattle in 2:14.1.

Bob Seagren of Pomona. Calif set a Canadian Open record by clearing 16 feet, Is inches in the pole vault, wiping out the previous mark of 16-1. Les Tipton of Portland also broke a Canadian Open mark with his winning javelin heave Oilers Apology To Crowd VANCOUVER (CP) "Please believe me, I was doing my best It will take a long time to get over the shame of running last." With these words, Peter Snell of New Zealand apologized to a disappointed crowd of 13 891 spectators for his dead last finish in the mile of the Van couver International track meet. A stomach ailment had taken the steam out of him on the day of the race. Soon after the race was under way Snell was lying back in seventh spot.

He stayed there for three laps as the crowd became more tense waiting for him to make his break. On the fourth lap Snell started to fall back. The crowd sat in stunned silence and a few booed as Snell trudged wearily to the finish and collapsed on an iron fence. He was sweating profusely. Minutes after the race had ended, Snell went to the public address system.

The athlete said he was not in the habit of making excuses and told of suffering a stomach ailment when he awoke in the morning. I tried to move out of the pack early but there was no response in my legs. I was calling on something that wasn't there." As he finished the crowd rose to its feet and shook the stadium with applause. Snell had run the worst race of his career, but emerged a winner with Vancouver track fans. Your wife just saved you 25! Felipe Alou Sparks 12-7 Milwaukee Win By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Manager Bobby Bragan and the Milwaukee Braves are learning that patience pays off when dealing with Felipe Alou.

That's the way it's always been with the 30-year-old native of the Dominican Republic, whose .253 batting average was a disappointment to the Braves last season after they acquired him from the San Francisco Giants. Alou is one of those fellows who thrives on day-today activity, however, and he is proving a major factor in the Braves' drive into National League pennant contention which reached 11 victories in 14 games Tuesday By WALTER HAYES VANCOUVER (CP) Jim Grelle. newly crowned as the fastest American miler in history, relaxed after his easy victory over the great Peter Snell Tuesday night and proceeded to demolish the pre-race buildup of what had been billed as the "Magic It wasn't a grudge race," said the Portland, Ore runner, who won the feature attraction of the Vancouver Invitational Track Meet in a dazzling 3:55 "I never had a grudge race against anybody." Grelle, whose time wiped out the United States citizen's record of 3:55.5 set by Jim Beatty in 1963, finished nearly 15 yards in front of Tony Harris of London, England. Snell, pale and perspiring from a stomach upset, trailed the 10-man field and collapsed as he crossed the finish line. There had been reports before the race that Grelle was needling the New Zealander, who lost his world record a week ago to Michel Jazy of France and was beaten over a half mile in Toronto last Thursday by Bill Crothers of Markham, Out.

"That's just the sort of thing that gets into the papers," Grelle said afterwards. "I was disappointed that Peter wasn't up to par. "If he had been, I probably would have wound up in second place the way he runs." But Snell, whose best time of 3:54.1 was eclipsed by Jazy's 3:53.6 at Rennes, France, last Wednesday, never was a factor in this race. The man who pressed Grelle was Cary Weisiger of Raleigh, N.C. The two Americans led throughout the first three laps before Grelle pulled away and a closing drive by Harris just caught Weisiger at the tape.

The Englishman was timed in 4:02.5 to Weisiger's 4:02.8. Grelle's spectacular victory overshadowed a meet that also featured double victories by Bob Tobler of Provo, Utah, in the 220-and 440-yard runs and by Irene Piotrowski of Vancouver in the women's sprints. Tobler was an easy winner in the quarter-miie over Crothers, who holds the Canadian native record of 47.2 seconds but usually performs at longer distances. Tobler won in 47.5 with Crothers being clocked in 47.8. In the 220, Tobler outsprint-ed Pablo McNeil of Jamaica and Paul Winder of Camp Pendleton, Calif.

The winning time was 21.8. McNeil also finished second behind Harry Jeiome of Vancouver, who won a third-place bronze medal in the Olympic 100 metres at Tokyo last October, in the 100 yard dash as Jerome was clocked in a slow 9.8 seconds. Jerome withdrew from the 220 because of a pulled leg muscle. Mis. Piotrowski, also a Canadian Olympic team member, won the 100 in 11.2 and the 220 in 24 9 over Marilyn White and Barbara Ferrell of Los Angeles, who stepped off a plane only two hours before (he meet began.

A slight headwind slowed the times in both men's and women's sprints. David Wighton of Vancouver won the two-inile race in 9:148 and Bill Ciiff of Burn-aby, B.C., was the half mile winner in 1:56.9.

It went by at midnight and with it a wild dream of acquiring Boston's Bill Monbouquette. The Tigers could have obtained Monbouquette for Don Demeter straight up, but declined on the grounds that it would too seriously impair their attack on left-handed pitching. Dressen admitted to being frustrated. "I've been trying to make a deal since spring training," he said. "I spent all day here yesterday waiting for the phone to ring.

In 30 years and more as manager and coach, I've never tried harder to make a deal. "Sure, we could make a deal if we wanted to get cheated." aim -w Limj tmm wm Pet.

"Under the Lights" Stock Car RACES Wednesday, June 16 49.97 Wooco Price, Starting pitcher Dave Wiekersham emphasized Detroit's insecurity. He lasted a third of an inning and yielded three runs. Dave won 19, lost 12 last year, coming to the Tigers with Ed Rakow and Jerry Lumpe in a trade with Kansas City for Rocky Colavito and Bob Anderson. This year he's made 11 appearances, 10 starts and is 1-4.

Dressen however thinks Wiekersham is throwing the ball well enough and will start to win. AFTER Wiekersham came young Denny McLam who excited the crowd with bullets and made swift inroads into strikeout records He made 14 in mj and a third innings and left the impression that had he not been lifted for a pinch batter in the seventh inning, he might have jumped on the nine inning day records of Sandy Koufax (19. National League) and Bob Feller (18, American), and the nine inning night records of Koufax (18) and Monbouquette (17, American As it uas, Denny came within one strikeout of enualling the Tiger day record of Paul Foytack (15), and of course did equal Jim Running night game record of 14 TTMIEKE was a situation in the fifth inning when Dressen did not pinch for McLain when the bases were loaded, one was out and the Tigers were three runs behind. Said Dresden, "No other long relief mm in the bull pen. Nobody.

Sherry is hurt and Fox has been sick. Gladding is a short man." Herman, the Red Sox manager, looked at the floor of the dressing room a long time, saying nothing. While he was doing that, Radatz was doing the same thing. During the black silence, the Boston sports writers helped Billy stare at the floor. Finally, Herman looked up and uttered several magnificent four letter words.

He then turned around, flung his spikes into a locker and again profaned the Boston luck. "That's four in a row like that," he roared at no one in particular, meaning four losses by one-run margins. Today, there is another game. Pet. GBL Los Angeles 38 23 .623 Milwaukee 32 22 .593 2's Cincinnati 32 26 .552 4te San Francisco 32 26 .552 4te Pittsburgh 30 28 .517 6 Philadelphia 28 29 .491 8 St.
