Johnson collected a double and a two-run homer. Monday night to lead the A's to a 5-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals. "When I first heard of the designated hitter rule, I didn't give it much said Johnson, who is only one career homer away from the coveted 200 mark. "I didn't 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 it's not much different over here. I'm still batting fourth or fifth." Since going to the A's on May 5 Johnson has been hitting the ball at a .301 clip in 18 games with five homers and 15 runs hatted 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 Johnson's lusty hitting to notch his fifth victory against two defeats for Oakland. Luis Tiant. tossed 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.

baseball specials. The victory broke 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 homered for the Giants while Jim Wynn hit his 10th homer for Houston. Pinch-hitter Richie Zisk's 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. Stargell's homer was his 12th of the season, giving him the major league lead. Carlton was knocked -out in the seventh inning. or Allison in Indy "500" INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (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of NASCAR racing fame is so anxious to make a good showing in the Indianapolis 500 next Monday that he has withdrawn from one of the South's top stock car attractions, the World 600 at Charlotte, N.C. hooked up with one of racing's top teams, the Roger Penske stable, that also includes Mark Donohue and Gary Bettenhausen. All three start next week's 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 the Speedway at 192.3 miles per hour. Allison, 35, from Hueytown, 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.

"I've always wanted to run here some day," he reflected in a moment of relaxation in the Speedway's Gasoline running here made it easier for me to come to the Speedway, but he also would like to run here 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 racing's biggest jackpot.

Thus, Allison has to forego Sunday's Charlotte Grand National. But he isn't disappointed.

"This is the big race," he said. a whole new experience for me. I think our chances are real good." 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 Bettenhausen's, a British-made McLaren, while Donohue has a Dan Gurney Eagle. All three are powered by turbo-charged four-cylinder Drake-Offenhauser engines.

(Danville News" Froto) 12 players are named to Hall of Fame NEW YORK (UPI) Twelve players of the pre-1920 era were named. Monday to a special niche in the National Football Foundation's College Football Hall of Fame. Voted into the Hall as Pioneer Players were Henry Seibels, a back on the 1898-99 Sewanee teams; Robert Fisher, Harvard guard, 1909-11; Dr. Hube Wagner, Pittsburgh end, 1910- 13; Arthur Howe, Yale quarterback, 1911; Early "Toughey" Abell, Colgate tackle, 1912-15, and Harold Balin, Princeton tackle, 1912-14. Also, John Maulbetsch, Michigan halfback, 1912-14; Murray Shelton, Cornell end, 1913-15; Forest "Spot" Geyer, Oklahoma fullback, 1913-15; Aubrey Devine, Iowa quarterback, 1919-21; Gaylord Stinchcomb, Ohio State halfback, 1918-20, and Clarence Swanson, Nebraska end, 1919- 1921.

Dick Kazmaier, an AllAmerica and Heisman Trophy winner from Princeton who heads the awards committee, said the Foundation's executive committee has extended the Pioneer Player category to 1927 next year and to 1934 in 1975. This move was made to eliminate the combined Pioneer Player and Coach section and enable the Honors Court to judge all candidates on individual merits PITCHERS SWAPPED ST. LOUIS (UPI) The St. Louis Cardinals Monday obtained left-handed pitcher Dan McGinn for their Tulsa farm club in exchange for lefthanded pitcher Wade Blasingame, who goes to the Chicago Cubs' Wichita farm club. NASCAR stars.

slated for oval lat Selinsgrove, SELINSGROVE The stars and cars of NASCAR, along with their ARCA counterparts, will make their first appearance' ever at the Selinsgrove 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 the 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.

After qualifying 12th fastest for the Indy race, Allison, long-time campaigner, is the leading contender for the speedway's 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 the ha dirt tracks across 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 Speedway, was won by Benny Parson, who is currently having the finest year ever in NASCAR competition. There is a friendly feud 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.

Willoughby's notch victory number four SUNBURY Willoughby's ace pitcher Barry McLaughlin hurled a strong game and had excellent control in picking up his fourth victory of the early season of the Sunbury Softball League last evening.
