The Windsor Star from Windsor, Ontario, Canada • 22

23 The Windsor Star, Saturday, May 23. 1970 Jack 'saves' Scherman Tigers t( Dulmage Sports Editor A. Eagleson strikes again three losses and his first victory since April 28. The gritty southpaw came on in the eighth, after Niekro had tired a bit and yielded inning-opening singles by Frank Howard and Mike Epstein, whose two-base error in the third had permitted the Tigers to tally two of their three runs. Pinchhitter Rick Reichardt bounced a scratch single to DETROIT It was Fred Scherman's second "first." Scherman recorded his initial major league win Aug.

28 of last year. The lefthander earned his first save Friday night by going the last two innings of a 3-2 win by Detroit Tigers over Washington Senators. The save protected Joe Niekro's fourth win against Mickey Stanley singled, stole second, went to third when Dalton Jones beat out a drag bunt and came home on Kaline's sacrifice fly to right. Off the field, the Tigers completed a two-for-one trade with Cleveland Indians. Relief pitcher Fred Lasher, who has had trouble finding the plate lately, was shuffled over to Cleveland for outfielder Russ Nagelson and pitcher Bill Rohr.

The sidearming Lasher appeared in 12 games with the Tigers this season and has a 1-3 record with three saves and a 5.000 ERA. Replacing Lasher on the Tiger staff will be pitcher Daryl Patterson, who recently returned from a military hitch. Both Nagleson and Rohr will report to Detroit's Toledo farm club in the International League. Chance's night of horror By THE ASSOCIATED Dean Chance Night turned into a nightmare for the Cleveland right-hander with his Indians' team-mates acting like strangers and New York Yankees getting all the gifts. Chance, obtained by the Indians from Minnesota Twins, was welcomed home by his friends in his hometown of Wooster, Ohio, but lasted only three innings as the Yankees whipped the Indians 7-4 Friday night.

The 28-year-old Chance was ripped for three first-inning runs, including a two-run homer by Roy White. However, he was the victim of a FRED SCHERMAN two-inning stint Baseball AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Pet.

Neither of these plays on the part of players is particularly exciting or surprising.

The attack against the reserve clause has been, and will doubtless continue to be the lever or blunt instrument with which to achieve benefits in other areas. It beats a strike as long as it works sort of hijacking with a hat pin. But, it is amazing how high some owners will jump when jabbed with a hat pin. Owners of baseball and hockey teams tend to accept reserve clause war, and the blows that go with it, in preference to dealing with strike action. Neither players or owners cultivate an appetite for strikes, merely mutual admiration for the arts of profit.

Many baseball players, particularly those who understand what life would be like without the reserve clause, are nervous about the Curt Flood case on the slight chance Flood might win. COMPLETE freedom to work lor whom they like, when they like, is not what a majority of professional athletes craves. They crave like anybody else, especially if they have the talent to bargain for it on a wide open market. The reserve clause compels owners to supply security. Abolition of the reserve clause would drive sub-star players (which is most of them) straight into unionism, and carry the stars along with them.

CARL YASTRZEMSKI of the Boston Red Sox, for one, has already declared he would not care for such a ride. The $100,000 athlete believes in holdouts, not union dues. It would be difficult to say what Flood, a high-priced athlete in the diminishing time of his career, believes in except that he wants his cake and eat it, too. 1 Flood says he fights the reserve clause on principle, but in another breath talks about fighting for his business interests. He comes off a little like Cassius Clay who objects to wearing a military uniform on grounds he is a Muslim minister, but doesn't object to giving up the ministry for a boxing match if he could just win a court appeal somewhere along the line.

Even the Muslims kicked Clay out of the lodge a long time ago. This guy has copped more pleas than there are courts to hear him. It will keep him out of jail for the five years they gave him, and if that 'isn't the idea, it will do until a better one comes along. EAGLESON delivered a sermon from some mount in Toronto Friday to the effect that the expansion division of the NHL was growing weaker, and that his clients' draft restriction plan would help cure the situation. The expansion divison has grown stronger, not i weaker.

Its record against the old division worsened because the old division went after them harder; and the reason it did that was because the league increased the interlocking schedule, and thereby the hazard; and because the expansion division also played harder, thereby escalating the challenge. IT HAS BEEN A vicious circle, but will tighten visibly as the expansion people get their hands on some of the better emerging amateurs which heretofore they have been unable to do left off Scherman to produce the second Washington run but the next three batters lifted harmless fly balls to the outfield and the Senators went down 1-2-3 in the ninth.

Powell added a pair of doubles while George Scott ripped a homer and two doubles and Tony Conigliaro stroked four straight hits for the Red Sox. Ken McMullen and Jim Spencer drilled home runs as the Angels snapped Minnesota's winning streak at seven and edged to within one-half game of first place in the West. McMullen and Spencer each connected off loser Jim Perry, off rookie Sandy Vance. Felix Millan's single, also in the third, was the only other hit off Vance in the seven innings he pitched. Ken Henderson's second gand-slam homer of the season, an eighth-inning shot off Tom Dukes, wrapped up the Giants' victory over San Diego.

Catcher Dick Dietz two-am homer in the fifth sent the Giants ahead to stay. Jim Hickman delivered three runs with a homer and double as the Cubs subdued the Mets behind Jim Colborn's one-hit relief pitching over the final 4 1-3 innings. Julian Javier snapped a 3-3 deadlock in the eighth with a three-run double, carrying the Cardinals past Philadelphia. The Phillies had tied the game in the seventh on Johnny Briggs' two-run triple. Mack Jones' two-run homer and a two-run triple by Jim Fairey helped Montreal build a 6-1 lead behind the five-hit pitching of Bill Stoneman.

The Reds battered Dierker for 11 hits in seven innings, but Merritt weathered 10 in going the distance for a 5-2 victory that made him the first nine-game winner in the majors this season. The victory, coupled with Los Angeles' 1-0 loss to Atlanta Braves, gave the Reds a 6-game bulge over the second-place Dodgers in the National League's West Division. San Francisco Giants slug skip by him and then attempting to claim it was foul, sent Al Kaline to third after the latter had walked with two out.

The eventual winning run scored in the seventh off relief pitcher Horatio Pina. with the eventual winning run the season broke a sixth-inn-coming across on left-hander Clyde Wright's seventh-inning single. Felipe Alou's two-run double enabled the Athletics to tie the White Sox at 8-8 in the eighth inning and moments later Alou scored the winner as Chicago's right fielder John Matias dropped Don Min-cher's fly ball. The Athletics overcame an 8-1 Chicago lead with four-run rallies in the sixth and eighth innings. Chicago had a six-run first, capped by Ed Herrmann's three-run homer and Carlos May added a two-run belt in the fourth.

Bob Oliver drove in a pair of runs with a bases-loaded single and scored two tallies in the Royals' triumph. Mike Walton, the Brewers' hard-hitting outfielder, drew five straight bases on balls.

Compressing the protected list to 12 men from 15 only improves the draft choices for Buffalo and Vancouver in the event the slope of talent at that level is steep enough to be seen with the naked eyeball. THERE ARE some clubs whose talent slope is as flat as a waffle from their 10th player down to the middle of their Central League farm team. It would be immaterial to Buffalo and Vancouver whether they started at 12 or IS. They'd be looking sideways anyway. BUT, THAT isn't Eagleson's point, which is bargaining power.

Any narrowing of a protected list shoots up the contract muscle of players outside it. It's the same as a fringe benefit, a chance for more players to improve their contracts. Since, that is reasonable, the owners may oblige or compromise. There is always the threat of taking the reserve clause into court to help them see the wisdom of being reasonable. As usual, Eagleson holds a pat hand.
