FLAG RACE Bunning, Allen Spark Phils' Pennant Drive ONLY 2 GAMES FROM THE TOP B.Y TMTF.n PRESS One is a 32-year-old pitcher and the other a 22-year-old infielder hut to the Philadelphia Phillie both Jim Bunning and Rich Allen are old pros. The baseball term "old pro' refers to how well a player re acts under pressure, not how old he is. Prove Their Mettle Bunning and Allen are proving their mettle in the heat of the Na tional League pennant countdown with the veteran pitcher having reeled off six straight victories and the rookie third baseman swinging a consistent bat that has his average at .312.

Bunning hasn't lost since July 15 while Allen has hit .329, with 16 runs batted in and six homers since Aug. 11. The veteran and the rookie made another important contribution toward the Phillies' first flag since 1950 when Bunning pitched an eight-hitter and Allen hit one of four homers Tuesday night in a 4-3 victory over the Houston Colts. The win maintained the Phillies' lead over the second-place Cincinnati Reds and boosted their margin j. over the San Francisco Giants 1 55 baseball feats and stamina iy 2 games.
