Walt Terrell, 7-8, took the loss. Leftys victory a classic effort By BEN WALKER AP Sports Writer The St. Louis Cardinals traded away Steve Carlton in 1972 and the left-hander has never let them forget it.

On a cold clear night in St. Louis Friday, Carlton became just the 16th major league hurler to wm 300 games. And he did it by going eight strong innings, striking out 12, as the Philadelphia Phillies downed St. Louis 6-2, a loss that mathematically eliminated the defending World Champions from the National League East pennant chase. The victory was Philadelphias eighth straight and kept the Phillies three games ahead of second-place Pittsburgh, which beat Montreal 10-1.

The triumph also upped Carltons career record against St. Louis to 37-11, his best mark against any team. Tonight was something special, but I didnt want him to get to the point where he got in trouble the ninth inning, said Philadelphia Manager Paul Owens, explaining why he brought reliever A1 Holland in to pitch the ninth. Carlton, as is his policy, did not talk to reporters after the game. He has not given a newspaper interview since 1979 after claiming he was misquoted.

Instead, Silent Steve continued to let his actions speak for him. Carlton, now 15-15, beat the Cardinals the team that dealt him away after he went 20-9 in 1971 last Sunday for his 299th career victory. On Friday night, he allowed seven hits to become the first pitcher to win 300 since Gaylord Perry did it with Seattle last year. Ironically, the 45-year-old Perry announced his retirement from baseball earlier in the day, leaving the Kansas City Royals with 314 lifetime triumphs. The 38-year-old Carlton, who has won an unprecedented four Cy Young Awards with the Phillies, helped himself by driving his first run of the season with a second-inning single off Joaquin Andujar, 6-16.

After David Green's two-run homer tied it in the fourth, the Phillies chased Andujar with three runs in the fifth, an inning that saw St. Louis Manager Whitey Herzog i 'fJL 7- scored from third on a fly to medium right by Dusty Baker. The throw came from rightfielder Brad Komminsk.

LOUIS (AP) In a stadium named for an owner who once angrily chose to trade him away, it may have been impossible for Steve Carlton to lose. At least thats how the Philadelphia Phillies lefthander appeared to pitch Friday night. Almost like a man obsessed, he alternately teas-eo and overpowered the St. Louis Cardinals, striking out 12 en route to his 300th career triumph. He did what all great pitchers in this game do, said third baseman Mike Schmidt, an offensive star in a 6-2 victory by Philadelphia that Angeles bombed Atlanta 11-2, San Diego belted Cincinnati 11-8, Houston beat San Francisco 3-2 and Chicago topped New York 4-1.

Dodgers 11, Braves 2 Dusty Baker and Ken Lan-dreaux each homered to highlight a 14-hit attack as Jerry Reuss and visiting Los Angeles continued to haunt Atlanta. The victory stretched the Dodgers lead in the NL West to l'k games over the Braves. Los Angeles, which reduced its magic number to five, has nine games left; Atlanta has 10 remaining. Phillies Manager Paul Owens after removing the 38-year-old hurler following the eighth inning. About the seventh inning I told him if he wanted to finish, fine, but basically it was his own decision.

Carlton, who walked only one, surrendered seven hits and retired 16 of the last 18 batters he faced. David Green hammered an 0-1 fastball by the sturdy hurler off the left field foul pole for his eighth homer, a two-run blast, in the fourth inning. But after Philadelphia erupted for three runs in the fifth to snap a 2-2 tie, the Cards bats fell mostly silent. He didnt give guys time to think, said Glenn Brummer, who singled harmlessly in the fourth and fifth innings off Carlton. His fastball was moving away, he kept throwing his slider inside, said the Cards catcher.

He didnt give our hitters anything good. Hes probably one of the best pitchers that ever pitched the game, Claude Osteen, the Phils pitching coach, said Carlton Before the contest was his usual, composed self. I could tell, though, he was more keyed up because of the atmosphere around him, said Osteen. I think hes relieved to get it out of the way. I think every body relieved National Sportscene Stewart lowers Os number to 2 nudged the Phillies closer to a title in the National League East.

He showed them the pitch they feared the most, his slider, by throwing it out of the strike zone, said Schmidt.

GAYLORD PERRY BASEBALL STANDINGS American Seattle at at ejected by home plate umpire Jim Quick for arguing balls and strikes. It was then left for Holland to nail down the triumph in the ninth, which he did. The reliever said his heart skipped a beat when he was summoned to start the ninth. He promised me this, Holland said. "We talked about it even in spring training.

I wanted to save his 300th game. Now it gets down to it, and its not a save, said Holland. After the game, the Phillies clubhouse was closed for 15 minutes while teammates toasted Carlton with cham- K.

Perry By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer It was business as usual for the Baltimore Orioles and no one was more businesslike than Sammy Stewart. Coming on in relief of starter Scott McGregor with the bases loaded and nobody out in the eighth inning, Stewart got out of the jam with only two pitches Friday night to nail down a 4-2 win over Milwaukee that reduced the Orioles magic number for winning the American League East to two games. First Stewart got Paul Molitor to hit into a run-scormg double play to short.

Then ne made Robin Yount ground out. Both pitches were fastballs and I sunk them down, Stewart said. I was looking for Molitor to hit my first pitch and I didnt want to get in trouble early by making a fat first pitch.

Its going to be a little drier around the American League, he said with a grin. He came in and said, Id like to speak to you, Skip, Howser said. Then he laid it out.

He was businesslike and a little sad. I think this is the time, Perry said later. Grins were coming hard to the North Carolina native, but not memories. "I played with the jguy I think was the greatest player ever, Willie Mays, he said. HI played against (Sandy) Koufax.

(AP) Gaylord Perry could not hide his melancholy at the end of a remarkable career. You do something for 25 years, youre going to miss it a little bit, the sometimes controversial right-hander said after announcing his retirement Friday night.

Shortly before the Kansas City Royals played Minnesota, Perry surprised Manager Dick Howser by informing him of his decision. After 21 years in the major teagues, two Cy Young awards, 314 victories and more than 3,500 strikeouts, Gaylord Perry was hanging it up at age 45. Perrys long career frequently was spiced with allegations that he threw a spitball. It was a controversy that Perry himself helped York. I played with George Brett and Dan Quisenberry in Kansas City.

"Its all been great, but now its time to get back home to the peanut farm and make a living there. Perry became the 15th pitcher in major-leaguenistory to record 300 victories when he hurled the Seattle Mariners to a 7-3 victory over the Yankees on May 6, 1982. He was picked up by the Royals in July after Seattle released him. He is the only pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues, leaving with a 314-265 lifetime record ana an earned run average of 3.09 covering innings. He was typically coy, and somewhat defensive, when asked about the spitball.
