12A The REGISTER, Napa, Calif. Wednesday, July 5, 1972 Jim Barr, Giants Stop Phils, 2-1 was walking on Cloud 9 "It was my best game as a pro, by far, he said I had a couple of one-hitters in college, but they cant equal this The winning marker came off the efforts of Dave Rader, who singled home the Giants first run in the seventh, then executed skilled base-running to score the one that made the PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The San Francisco Giants wind up a three-game series against Philadelphia today, trying to make it 2-1 for the stand The Giants recouped a loss in the opener with a 2-1 victory to celebrate the Fourth of July, limiting the Phillies to three hits via Jim Barrs efforts on the mound Giants outfielder Bobby Bonds ended the no-hit bid of the Phils Billy Champion on the first pitch of the game, lining a single to center field Barr was pitching his second complete game of his major league career and retired the first nine Phillies batters in order Shortstop Irry Bowa, whos from Sacramento, Calif kept the hurler from his perfect game with a single in the fourth inning on a drag bunt between the hill and first base, scoring on a sacrifice fly. In the dressing room, Barr Novato's Ken Siler Shuts OutPost 1 13 Rader had already touched the plate, which is by Philadelphia catcher John Batemans left knee, and then hurtled over Bateman. Rader had tagged up at third base and scored on a to nip the Phils, 2-1, on a three-hit pitching fly ball by Tito Fuentes. There was some effort by young Jim Barr.

FLYING HOME with the winning run against the Philadelphia Phillies is Dave Rader of the San Francisco Giants. Actually, Of His Own Blast Beats Yanks Chrissy Goes Down Fighting At Wimbledon Thats three good games in a row for him He seems to be completely recovered from his arm trouble." Odom missed almost the entire 1971 season following surgery on his arm. The Yankees collected six hits in the game, including two by Horance Clarke, who scored one run The Yanks scored in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Berme Allen, and in the eighth on a single by Bobby Murcer.

Manager Ralph Houk of the Yankees thought both pitchers Stottlemyre and Odom had done a good job. That one pitch to Bando was the game. Its that simple, Houk said The series resumes tonight The reason is the running battle between the International Lawn Tennis Federation and World Championship Tennis, the pro group that has the top players like Rod Laver, Arthur Ashe and Ken Rosewall under contract Differences between the two organizations have been patched up, but not in time to allow the WCT pros to compete here this year. This has helped fifth-seeded Jan Kodes of Czechoslovakia, second seeded Ilie Nastase of Romania, and third seeded Manuel Orantes of Spain, reach the semifinals. In the semifinals, Smith will play Kodes and Nastase will face Orantes.

Sal Bando put on a personal fireworks demonstration for his Oakland As teammates Tuesday night Bando hit the fifth grand slam homer of his major league career to provide all the runs in a 4-2 victory over the New York Yankes. I wasnt trying to hit a homer, Bcftido said. With two strikes I was just protecting the plate. His homer came off Mel Stottlemyre who gave up only four hits in the seven innings he pitched.

Hes one of the best pitchers in the American I-eague, and you are lucky to even get a single off him, Bando said. Bandos homer followed two alks and a double by Joe Rudi that loaded the bases in the fourth inning.

The 1972 Madison Regatta, a whole year in planning, turned into one of the greatest disasters in this southeastern Indiana communitys history of running regattas. The frustrations and setbacks that plagued this years volunteer-run regatta began June 23rd when Miss Madison, which is owned by the city, sank in the Detroit River. That meant there would be no repeat of last years glorious victory by Madisons hometown boat. I ter that day came news of tropical storm Agnes.

It filled the Ohio River with flood water and debris.

Evonne reeled off the seventh game in a row when she held service at the start of the final set to love. But then Chris held hers and broke Evonne to go 2-1 up as the Australian lapsed back into loose play with a double fault, a volley at the net and another weak backhand But the lapse was only momentary and Evonne broke back to 2-2 after Chris double-faulted.

Chris was still fighting and produced two superb passing forehands and a flat return of service to break Evonne again and go ahead 3-2. Then the match see-sawed once more as Evonne broke back the fourth break in a row with a forehand volley That put the score at 3-3 Then Evonne held service to lead 4-3 but only with the help of a lucky volley that hit the cord and ran along the net before dropping on Chris side Chris had fought hard to keep that game and twice pulled back to deuce. The match lasted one hour, 15 minutes. Mrs. King went to a 4-1 lead, and then Miss Casals hit back and levelled at 4-4.

But that was Rosies last big effort Mrs King held her service to lead 5-4, despite another double fault, and then broke her rivals service for the last tune. The final shot was a spectacular backhand pass Mrs. King has now beaten Miss Casals 19 tunes out of 20 in the last two years.
