Chris Speier drove in four runs with a homer and a triple to spark the Giants triumph over the Astros in the first of the Monday night TV-baseball specials. The victory broke a four-game losing streak for the Giants and moved them to within percentage points of the Astros in the battle for first place in the NL-West. Garry Maddox and Ed Goodson also league are Tony Mahoney, Joe Fallon, Leo Mayan, Jim Crop! and Francis Mahon Danville STr JOE'S TEAM of the Knights of Columbus -Dart League, champions for this year, pose with theirteam award and cake served afthe arihual Allison in Indy PAGE THE By FRED McMANE UP! Sports Writer Deron Johnson, sold by the Philadelphia Phillies to the Oakland As earlier this month, has become an integral part of the As offense as the teams designated hitter and is showing off the power that once made him one of the most feared hitters in the National League. Johnson collected a double and a two-run homer Monday night to lead the As to a 5-0 victory over the Kansas City Jfoyalfr When" f'firg) heard of the designated hiUerute, PdidnT give it much thought, said Johnson, who is only one career homer away from the coveted 200 mark.

I didnt see myself coming over to the American League in a designated hitter situation. I thought I had four or five more years to play. But its not much different over here. Im still batting fourth or fifth. Since going to the As on May 5 Johnson has been hitting the ball at a .301 clip in 18 games with five homers and 15 runs batted in.

In the only other AL games, Boston beat Baltimore, 4-1, and Cleveland walloped New York, 10-5. San Francisco defeated Houston, 9-4, in a nationally televised game and Pittsburgh edged Philadelphia, 5-4, in the only National League action. St. Louis at New York and Chicago at Montreal were rained out. Jim Hunter benefitted from Johnsons lusty hitting to notch his fifth victory against two defeats for Oakland.

Luis Tianttossed a four-hitter as he beat the Orioles for the fifth straight time over the last two years. Luis Aparicio contributed a two-run single and Carl Yastrzemski a two-run double to the the Red-Sox attack as they pinned the loss on Jim Palmer. Gaylord Perry survived a four-run second inning to notch his sixth victory and Buddy Bell collected four hits to spark the Indians triumph over the Yankees. George Hendrick JIMS Mobil Service 1-10 275 0689 24 Hr. Wrecker Service 'State Inspection SELINSGROVE The stars and cars of NASCAR, along with their ARCA counterparts, will make 'their first appearance ever at the Selin-sgrove Speedway, May 30.

The drivers of the two sanctioning bodies will be on hand to compete In a Grand National East event, which will be highlighted with a 100-lap grind. Leading the NASCAR professionals onto the high banked half-mile dirt oval will be Bobby Allison, of Hueytown, and Dewayne (Tiny) Lund, of Cross, S. while Ron Hutcherson and Iggy Katona will carry colors of ARCA. Allison, who won 10 Grand National events last year on his way to becoming the leading money winner in the organization, will be stopping off at Selinsgrove just two days after making his first-start in the Indianapolis 500. -Aftenajyixing 12th fastest for- the 1 ndy long-time campaigner, is the leading contender for the speedways Rookie of the Year honors.

Lund is no stranger to NASCAR followers, having competed in nearly every division the sanctioning body ever offered. Lund is a former Daytona 500 winner and in recent years copped two Grand American point titles. Hutcherson is the defending ARCA point champion, has campaigned on many half-mile dirt tracks across the country and participated at Daytona this season. Katona is no stranger to these parts as several years ago he raced in a 100-lap ARCA race and dominated the action until mechanical troubles forced him off the pace. That race, staged at Williams Grove Speedway, was won by Benny Parson, who is currently having the finest year ever in NASCAR competition.

There is a friendly feud is a between the drivers of these two organizations and the feud will be carried onto Selinsgrove. The ARCA drivers feel they must take a back seat to the NASCAR regulars during Speed Weed at Daytona. But when they get on the half-mile tracks, the ARCA drivers like to beat back the challenges of NASCAR drivers. The action will begin at 7 p.m. with time trials.

Rain date is, Thursday, May 31. CONTRACT SOLD BALTIMORE (UPI) The contract of left-handed pitcher Mickey Scott was sold to the Montreal Expos by the Baltimore Orioles for an amount in excess of the waiver price, it was announced Monday night Baltimore recalled right-handed hitting Enos Cabell from its Rochester farm club in the International League to replace Scott on the roster. Scott has appeared in only one game this season. Leagues Wednesday night LEO MAYAN, right, shooting for his first team title in the Knights of Columbus Dart League in 22 years, received a special award at the league banquet held at the of Home. Presenting the award above is Robert Burkland, Grand Knights of Council 2314.

Pinch-hitter Richie Zisks single drove home the winning run for the Pirates in the ninth inning. The Phillies had built a 4-0 lead after three innings behind ace Steve Carlton, but the Pirates bounced back on homers by Willie Stargell and Manny Sanguillen to tie the score after six innings. Star-gells homer was his 12th of the season, giving him the major league lead. Carlton was knocked out-kvthe seventh inning.

Allison first drove sports cars for Penske, then agreed to drive for him in the Memorial Day race this year and next. His car is virtually identical to Bet-tenhausens, a British-made McLaren, while Donohue has a Dan Gurney Eagle. All three are powered by turbo-charged four-cylinder Drake-Offenhau-ser engines.

(UPI) Bobby Allison of NASCAR racing fame is so anxious to make a good showing in the Indianapolis 500 next Monday that he has withdrawn from one of the Souths top stock car attractions, the World 600 at Charlotte, N.C. He hooked up with one of racings top teams, the Roger Penske stable, that also includes Mark Donohue and Gary Bettenhausen. All three start next weeks Memorial Day classic in the first four rows, with Donohue, the defending champion, on the outside of the front row, Bettenhausen in the middle of the second and Allison on the outside of the fourth as the fastest rookie qualifier at Speedway at 192.3 miles hour. Allison, 35, from Huey town, has been racing since the late 1950s. His brother, Donnie, was highly successful in two holiday races here, placing fourth three years ago and sixoh the following year.

Ive always wanted to run here some day, he reflected in a moment of relaxation in the Speedways Gasoline Alley. Donnies running here made it easier for me to come to the Speedway, but he also would like to run here again. The fact that the Indianapolis 500 is so time-consuming and qualifications are spread over two weekends makes it difficult for the southern stock car elite as well as for foreign drivers to take a crack at racings biggest jackpot.
