0 0 Brewers To Six in Lefthanders Continue to Baffle Skidding Indians MILWAUKEE On No ner of opposition fazes the Milwaukee Brewers and their red hot pitchers lately, but the Cleveland Indians' futility against lefthanders was too obvious to ignore. An error by Indian third baseman Graig Nettles set up three unearned runs in the Brewer first inning Thursday, and Earl Stephenson and Frank Linzy made them stand up for a 3-1 victory, The Brewers ran their winning streak to six gameslongest since the franchise was founded in Seattle in 1969-with THE CAPITAL TIMES SPORTS SCORES: WIBA 238-2601 FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1972 Astros Win With Errors By Dodgers By HAL BOCK (Associated Press Sports Writer) For the Los Angeles Dodger fans in the audience today, there is some good news and there is some bad news. First, the good news. The Dodgers are cutting their fielding errors. They made five booboos three games ago but reduced that total to three on Thursday.

Now, the bad news. They're still losing ball games in the field. Ninth inning errors by Bobby Valentine and Steve Garvey delivered a gift run that tied Thursday's game for Houston and then Bob Watson rifled a single for two more runs and an 86 victory for the Astros, who moved to wtihin one-half game of first place Cincinnati in the National League's West Division. In other NL action Thursday, San Francisco edged Cincinnati 3-2, Philadelphia ripped New York 9-4, Pittsburgh shut out Montreal 9-0, St. Louis topped Chicago 42 and San Diego outslugged Atlanta 8-6.

The Dodgers wiped out an early 5-1 Houston lead, tying the score on Jim Lefebvre's threerun pinch homer in the sixth inning. Then, Los Angeles took the lead on Garvey's homer in the bottom of the eighth. That's when the Astros played (Continued on 2nd Sports Page) their eighth victory in nine starts. Stephenson's see major league triumph dropped Cleveland's season record against lefthanders to 4-23. Two other southpaws, Gary Ryerson and Ray Newman, picked up a vietory and save, respectively, in the Brewers' doubleheader sweep over the Indians Wednesday night.

"Mr. Lane handed me a sheet showing their record against lefthanders 10 days Brewer Manager Del Crandall said, referring to General Manlager Frank Lane. "We figured Jerry Bell was hurt, and we had a lefthander (Ryerson) doing well at Evansville, so why not bring him up with Cleveland coming in?" Crandall said. "And Stephenson had pitched well Sunday, so we thought we'd come back with him today." "Our lefthanded hitters are playing well--it's our righthanders who aren't hitting," Indians Manager Ken Aspromonte said. got six hits today and five were by lefthanders." Milwaukee pitchers have allowed only nine runs, one of them unearned, in the victory string.

Stephenson has not allowed an earned run in his last 16 1-3 innings, dropping his earned run average to 0.44. The Brewers loaded the bases against loser Ray Lamb (2-2) in the first on a bloop single by Rick Auerbach, an opposite field double by Joe Lahoud and an intentional walk to John Briggs. Auerbach and Lahoud scored when Nettles fumbled Dave May's grounder, and Briggs came in when Paul Ratliff grounded into a fielder's choice. Singles by Tom McGraw and Jack Brohamer around an error produced Cleveland's run in the third. McCraw and singled to chase Stephenson in the eighth, but Linzy retired the side by striking out Ron Lolich and getting Ray Fosse on a ground out.

A Tigers Score 8 In Ninth to Win, 8-4 By HERSCHEL NISSENSON (Associated Press Sports Writer) The first time Billy Martin saw the friendly left field wall at Boston's Fenway Park he dented it with a run-scoring double as a brash young rookie with the New York Yankees in 1950. The last time he saw it was Thursday night as manager of the Detroit Tigers and his ardor hadn't cooled one bit.

"Anything can happen in this ballpark and usually does," Martin said after the Tigers, blanked for eight innings by rookie Lynn McGlothen, exploded for eight runs in the ninth -the last four on Bill Freehan's grand slam homer into the screen atop that everpresent wall-and beat the Red Sox 8-4. That increased Detroit's lead in baseball's American League East to two games over Baltimore, which lost to the Yankees, 4-3, and sent the Tigers home to begin a big series with the Orioles in a happy frame of mind. Elsewhere, Chicago and Oakland split a doubleheader, the White Sox winning the opener 4-0 and the A's taking the nightcap 3-1; Kansas City took two from Minnesota 5-3 and 12-4, Milwaukee shaded Cleveland 3-1 and California drubbed Texas Freehan started Detroit's big inning by reaching first base on an error by Boston second baseman Doug Griffin.

(AP Wirephoto) Winzenried Fails To Qualify in 800 Fred Milveretedt Greens Sculptured By Schlicht As long as I've known Kully Schlicht, he's been hanging around golf courses- a rather natural habitat when we consider the Schlicht family's illustrious golfing legacy: a father, recently retired after years of expert service as the head pro at Blackhawk Country Club and more recently named as a member of Madison's Sports Hall of Fame; and a brother, Butch, who after a decade or so of winning about every tournament the state had to offer, is on the verge of taking a tour with the biggies in the Professional Golfer's Assn. Golf to the Schlichts has always been second nature.

The house that they grew up in, a rambling, frame dwelling nestled beneath the viaduct on Old Middleton Road, Hes within chipping distance of Blackhawk's picturesque rolling hills and finely-manicured greens. While the kids were in high school, they used to earn a little spending money by helping Kully, tend to the course, a job that usually meant working odd hours-like the middle of the night-to Insure that the greens were watered for the next day's play. That's how I first got to know Kully, Jr. There used to be a bunch of us-15 or 16-years-old-who would meet him out on the course in the dead of night as he was making his appointed rounds. He'd come putt-putting by in an old $32 Ford pi truck and we'd all hop in the back for a joy ride and a couple of hours of fun and games.

One of the games was called, "Monkey." Kully would wheel along at about 20 miles per hour and drive beneath one of the many low-branched trees that dot Blackhawk's layout. The rest of us, unscathed by an ounce of common sense as we crouched like baboons to spring in the bed of the truck, would time his approach, then leap upward and grab hold of a limb, dangling there until he swung back around to retrieve us for another run. A variation of "Monkey" was jumping off the truck into a sand trap, rolling as we landed like Hollywood stunt men. A third diversion- one that cropped up at an average of about once a week-was abandoning the truck and running like hell for the woods each time the Shorewood cop came hunting for us. I can only think of one time that he was successful in his pursuit, and that was when he joined forces with police colleagues from Madison and Middleton to catch us with our guard down.

Danny Crawford may remember the night. When Kully wasn't horsing around in the wee hours with his idiot friends, he was spending most of his days sharpening up the game that his father had taught him so well. He developed into an excellent golfer (some say he had the potential to be better than Butch), and the future looked promising. He took a job as an assistant pro in Florida in 1964, and then the bottom fell out. Kully broke his neck in an auto accident, a partially disabling injury that left him with permanent damage-at least to the point of swinging a club the way it should be swung in any seriousness-and whatever dreams he had entertained of having a go at big-time competition were left shattered in the twisted wreckage.

When time and nature healed his wounds, he caught on as an assistant pro at both Blackhawk and in Milwaukee, but that promising future wasn't getting much brighter. Today, however, Kully is sounding as optimistic as I've ever heard him. The reason is a neat little par-30 course that he oversees at the Ridgewood Trace apartment complex, a mile or so out Fish Hatchery Road from the West Beltline. Kully's new baby, called the Ridgewood Trace Golf Club, was laid out a few years ago, but until he was hired to whip it into shape, the course had languished in odd states of incompletion and disrepair. Now, with Kully tending the greens and sprucing up the traps and fairways, it's turning into as tight a little pitch-and-putt set-up as any duffer could hope for.

The fairways are still rough, and Kully figures it will take a year or so before they're right, but the greens show a touch that could only have come from the hand of a Schlicht. Three of the holes--the long ones at around 320-340 yards-are set at par-4, and the other six are tricky par-3s. A few of them involve a soft touch through wooded alleys or a healthy drive over a newly-bubbling pond. Almost all of them are guarded by three or four traps. Although tenants of Ridgewood Trace have the advantage of playing nine holes for 75 cents, the course will be open seven days a week to the general public at $1.50 a tour.

A pro shop, nearing completion, will be staffed by three young ladies who Kully insists are ex-Playboy Bunnies. Kully is known to have a vivid imagination. The grand opening is set for tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. On hand with Kully to form the first official foursome are brother Butch, up from his post as head pro at Milwaukee's Tripoli club; John K. Giblin, erstwhile inn-keeper, sportsman, trick-shot artist, and sponsor of the annual "One Eye Open;" and one Roger Radue, an attorney who was once accorded the honor of being closest to the pin on the fourth hole of a golf outing in Wisconsin Dells in 1968.

Kully says if anyone hits an ace on the first day, he'll award him a 1948 Studebaker. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Peter Dorman, a U.W. graduate who now lives in Madison, is the Wisconsin state chess champion. He will contribute occasional articles to The Capital Times sports pages analyzing the world chess championship match that starts Sunday between Bobby Fischer of the U.S. and Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union.) Men's City Meet Opens Thursday By BONNIE RYAN (01 The Capital Times Sports Staff) With one major city golf champion declared, the second one is in the hopper and that titleholder will be crowned Sunday July 9 at Yahara Hills.

Hayes won her Tuesday, Jackie Molinaro, women's championship. The men's tourney, a 72 hole test, will start next Thursday at Odana Hills and will be played on successive days at Maple Bluff, Cherokee, and on the West course at Yahara. Thursday the committee met at Rohde's Steak House to draw pairings and tee times for the first two days. The field will be cut after the first 36 holes to the low 30 and ties. Each private club was allowed 15 entries for the meet while public links held a 36 hole qualifying tourney last weekend at Yahara Hills for their quota of 15 making 75 who are eligible for the first teeoff at Odana Hills.

Veteran Steve Caravello heads former champions who have qualified and will be seeking additional laurels. He has been city champ on nine different occasions, his last in 1967. Also back is Maple Bluff veteran Harry Simonson who has five city titles to his credit. Simonson won the first tournament in 1945 sponsored by the recreation Department. Prior to 1945, The Capital Times sponsored the city tournament which began in 1936 with Art Sorenson as the champion.

In that era, Blackhawk's Walter Atwood copped the 1939 crown and in the modern era he won a again in 1946. Atwood will again represent Blackhawk in next week's meet. Rick Radder, defending champ, winner of three of the last four titles, will not compete this year. He played in the British Open and is still in Europe. Brent Beer, 1966 champion, will also skip this year.

There is conflict due to the change in the tourney dates because of the GMO in Milwaukee. Among those present at the drawings were Gene Wendland, Recreation Department; Tim (Continued on 2nd Sports Page) Hole-in-One Dwight Ziegler recorded a hole-in-one on the 14th hole of the white course at Lake Windsor Country Club Thursday. He used a five-iron for the ace on the 155 yard hole. EUGENE, Ore. Jim Ryun, the allergy prone former Kansas star, continued his comeback Thursday night with an impressive 1:48.7 clocking in his heat of the 800-meter run at the U.S.

mens Olympic Track and Field Trials. Ryun, world record holder in the mile and half mile, lived in Eugene part of last year but left because he was allergic to the heavy grass seed pollen in Oregon's Willamette Valley. He won his heat of the 800 in Thursday's quarterfinals and said later he wasn't bothered by sinus trouble. "I'm keeping my fingers crossed," he said, "and I have a couple of things going for me I'm doing a lot of praying and I have a good allergist." Ryun, running for Club West, said he definitely intends to run both the 800 an the 1500 meters in Munich if he qualifies in both events during 10-day trials. Mark Winzenried, also of Club West, and former Wisconsin star, was one of two major casualties in the 800.

He ran a nonqualifying fifth in Ryun's heat. NCAA champion Willie Thomas of Tennessee finished last in the slowest of the four heats in 1:52.9. He was among a number of athletes who said they were affected by the humid 80 degreeplus heat. Sixteen runners advanced it into tonight's semi-finals, including Bowling Green's Dave Wottle, the AAU champion a and Tom Von Ruden of the Pacific Coast Club. They were timed in 1:49.8 and 1:49.6, respectively.

There almost was a casualty in the steeplechase. Mike Manley of the Oregon Track Club, considered a leading candidate for the U.S. team, slipped and fell on the first water barrier and was last after four laps. The 30-year-old Eugene school teacher bounced back with a winning time of 8:34.8, his best of the year. The 12 steeplechase finalists also will include Bob Richards of the Air Force and James Dare, the AAU champion from the Navy, who shared the top time of 8:38.6 in the first heat.

Bobby Fischer Threatens 'Blacklist' For Fischer Sunday, July 2 is the scheduled beginning of the most dramatic contest in chess history: Bobby Fischer, former child prodigy whose play sometimes approaches absolute perfection, finally gets his crack at the AMSTERDAM The president of the World Chess Federation has threatened American champion Bobby Fischer with blacklisting following reports he is holding out for a cut of the gate receipts from his World Series with Boris Spassky of Russia.

Dr. Max Euwe, the world federation president and veteran Dutch grandmaster, said Thursday night that if the 29-year-old American fails to appear Sunday for the start of the world chess championship in Reykjavik, Iceland, he stands to lose his rights to play for the world title "not only this time but perhaps forever." Fischer was seen Thursday night at New York's Kennedy airport, but Icelandic Airlines said he did not board its flight to Reykjavik. When newsmen tried to question him, his bodyguards fended them off. The next flight from New York to Iceland is tonight. But Fischer in the past has refused to fly on the Jewish Sabbath, between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday.

Informed sources in Reykjavik said that Fischer informed the Icelandic Chess Federation that he wouldn't play unless he got 30 per cent of the gate receipts. This would be in addition to his share of the $125,000 purse and 30 per cent of the receipts from the sales of television and film rights already agreed to. The Icelandic federation was reported seeking a compromise in negotiations with Fred Cramer, former president of the American Chess Federation, who is acting as Fischer's advance man. The Icelanders said they have already spent about $200,000 on preparations, and if they meet Fischer's demand they can't break even. The gate receipts probably (Continued on 2nd Sports Page) Cepeda to A's as McLain to Braves ATLANTA weightwise, controlwise and mind wise, I'm back in the groove," says Denny McLain.

And today McLain also is back in the Major League. "I am happy as hell. It's super," said McLain Thursday when informed that the Oakland A's of the American League, which sent the pitcher to the minors five weeks ago, had traded him to the Atlanta Braves of the National League. "I hear they, Atlanta, need pitchers," he said from Bir- It's been a long time coming. Fischer first gained national attention in his early teens, when he won a spectacular game from Robert Byrne, one of America's best.

Bobby, just 13 at the time, gave up his queen for a knight and a bishop in long forced series of moves. A year later he won his first U.S. Championship. Fischer's first stab at the world championship was back in 1958, when he was 15. With the death of the legendary Alexander Alekhine at the end of the Second World war, FIDE, the international chess federation, established a regular 3-year cycle for the world title.

They divided the world inton zones, each to hold its own championship. Then the top players would play in a worldwide interzonal tournament. The finalists from this event, plus the runners-up from the previous cycle, would compete in a candidates' tournament, and the winner of this final contest would play the reigning world champion in a 24-game match. after a special tournament in 1948. He successfully defended his title against David Bronstein and Vassily Smyslov, both Russians, in 1951 and 1954.

Botvinnik lost to Smyslov in 1957, but won his title back a year later in a return match. Since the U.S. Championship counts as a zonal tournament, Fischer played in the 1958 interzonal. He qualified, but fell short in the candidates tournament, which was won by Mikhail -another Russian. Tal's brilliant attacking style gave him the world championship in 1960, but Botvinnik took it back with another return match.

As the next cycle began, it looked like Fischer was destined to break the Soviet spell. He was regularly clobbering his rivals in the U.S., and he placed a clear first in the 1962 Stockholm interzonal. But he could only take fourth place in the candidates' tournament in Curacao that year, finishing behind three Russians. This defeat provoked his famous charge that the Russians were "fixing" international chess. He claimed that they arranged to draw with each other, and then ganged up to defeat the only serious non-Russian challenger, Fischer.

Mikhail Botvinnik, a Russian, became the world champion each drove in a run and drove McGlothen out. Tony Taylor greeted reliever Don Newhauser with a basesfilling single and Dick McAuliffe tied the score with a two-run double. Bill Lee, the third pitcher of the inning, walked Aurelio Rodriguez, loading the bases again, and fired a called third strike past Ike Brown for the second out. But Freehan drilled the next pitch for his fourth home run of the season and third career grand slam. The Yankees ended the eightgame winning streak of Baltimore's Jim Palmer and beat him for the first time since (Continued on 2nd Sports Page) There may be some truth to this accusation.

Some of the games played between the Soviet masters show little indication of a fight; some games were drawn in the opening. But the real cause of Fischer's setback was that the top Russian players could still beat him more often than he could beat them. Bobby was good, but not yet good enough. Behind his public posturing, Fischer came to this conclusion himself. His appearances became less frequent; for a while, he disappeared altogether.

He was boning up for a comeback. Meanwhile, there was a new world champion, Tigran Petrosian. His was a bloodless style of chess, relying on slow maneuvering. He rarely took any risks. He rarely lost.

In addition, FIDE, acting on a recommendation of Fischer's, scrapped the candidates' tournament and replaced it with a series of elimination matches. Then Fischer came back. With one victory after another, he seemed to be on his way to the top. But he got into a personal quarrel with the directors of the Interzonal tournament in Tunisia in 1967 over scheduling questions. Even though he was far ahead of the rest of the field, Bobby dropped out.
