Tom Hausman, 3-2, got the victory with 51-3 innings of five-hit reUef. Carlton Regains Form By United Press InterittioBal Steve Carlton has once again become the most important name on the Philadelphia roster. Three years ago Carlton was the biggest star in the National League when he won 27 games and toe Cy Young Award, but like Greg Luzinski and Mike Schmidt have surpassed toe 30-year-old in popularity over the past two s63sons.

Still, baseball men believe that Carlton is toe key man if toe Phillies hope to overtake toe Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL East this year. Carlton, vrhen he is in top form, is still one of the best pitchers in baseball and could be the the Phillies will need down the stretch. Since his golden year of 1972 Carlton has been terribly erratic, but he showed Tuesday night that he might finally be getting his game under control again. If so, it will be a welcome relief to the Phillies, who have been staying close to the Pirates without much help from their ace. Carlton, who has been plagued by arm trouble for part of toe season, pitched perhaps his best game of the season Tuesday night when he stopped the Atlanta Braves, 1-0, on a toree-hitter.

The fastballing lefty walked only three and struck out eight in notching his ninth win against seven is the best groove been in this said Carlton, vtoo now has recorded two complete game victories in his last three starts. had all three of my pitches going for strikes and that makes a big difference. My slider has been inconsistent aU year. My arm has bothered me and kept me from working on it. The slider was excellent tonight.

Without it, toe batter only has to guard against two The had only one serious threat against Carlton, and that came in toe inning when they loaded toe bases with two out. However, Carlton got Marty Perez to pop out to end toe inning. The PhiUies, who moved to within four games of toe Pirates with toe victory, scored toe only run in the ninth inning with the aid of a throwing error by catcher Vic CorreU. The PhiUies loaded toe bases with none out and, after Schmidt popped out, Johnny hit what appeared to be a double play baU. However, after making the force out at home, CorreU threw the relay wildly past first base for an error, aUowing Luzinski to score.
