Another close game seemed inevitable Saturday and just the way things started as the clubs battled to a 1-1 tie after the first four innings. A few people started taking about the 1969 championship game in which Lannon beat Waukesha, 4-3. Waukesha scored its run in the ond inning as Jerry Merlet singled, stole second, went to third on a ground out and scored on Sam single. Lannon tied the game in the fourth as Paul Lardie tripled and Rick Clee singled. The Stonemen went ahead for good in the fifth inning with a pair of runs as starting pitcher, Dennis White, ran into some control problems and walked John Owens and Jurewicz.

Bill Dolphin sacrificed the runners up and on the throw to first base to get Dolphin, Owens scored. A walk to Dick Gruetzmacher finished White and brought on Glenn Moerschel. Moerschel in duced Paul Lardie to hit into a double play but Gruetzmacher de layed it so long in a rundown that Jurewicz scored. There a hit in the inning. Lannon scored once more in the seventh inning but then the roof caved in, and Lannon scored five runs in the eighth and added three more in the ninth.

White did his job as did Moerschel a 35-year old who had pitched in two previous tournament games. For the eighth and ninth innings Egan went to his staff ace, A1 Alt who pitched six innings in the opening game for Wau kesha and who had more rest than Moerschel. Two walks, a hit batsman and three hits with a big error gave Lannon its five runs in the eighth with a two-run single by Gruetzmacher the big blow. In the ninth inning three runs scored on just one hit, a couple of walks and another error. Owens, the batting leader with six hits in eight trips to the plate, drilled a two-run homer for most of the damage.

After Bert Campaneris hit a followup single, Short threw two strikes past North. North then hit a hard two-hopper toward third where Money, by his admission, was playing out of position. The ball streaked just past glove and rolled down the left field line to the comer for a two- run double that put Oakland ahead 65.

Wilson denied he had interfered with Shaw, but admitted the two had met several times to discuss disagreements over pitching techniques and concepts. While no successor was named, Wilson said he probably would bring in A1 Widmar, currently in charge of minor league player development, to help on at least a temporary basis. Widmar, also a former big league hurler, once was pitching coach for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Shaw, hired last September by his long time friend, Crandall, has been criticized by several persons close to the situation for his work with Bill Parsons, a 13-game winner each of the last two seasons when the Brewers finished last in the American League East. Parsons, under tutelage, has altered his pitching style in an effort to improve his breaking ball. However, he has only a 3-5 record and 5.77 earned run average, having walked 58 batters in 43 2 3 innings. Shaw shook hands with each Brewer pitcher and several other players after game, then read to newsmen a brief statement he had written on a piece of scrap paper. Page 12 Waukesha Freeman Bob Shaw am resigning today as pitching coach of the Milwaukee Brewers because of restrictions imposed upon me and differences of opinion and views on pitching between Jim Wilson, general manager, and Shaw said.

these circumstances do exist, and apparently cannot be resolved, I feel it best for the team, the players and its outstanding manager, Del Crandall, that I he said. Shaw said the situation had been developing for some time and that he had told Crandall Saturday night of his decision. Neither he nor Crandall would elaborate on the differences with Wilson cited by Shaw. Parsons said the resignation partly my fault has his own ideas about he said. are sound ideas.

I argue with them. But I tried them to the best of my ability and it work out. sure put pressure on sure my situation had something to do with Parsons said. I would just as soon have it that I be the one to go. helped a lot of other guys on the Wilson, asked if he was disap pointed with the pitching staff in general, said, think a fair had many discussions about pitching and did disagree on a number of Wilson said of his relationship with Shaw.

was a lot of little situation applied to the whole pitching Wilson said. is just part of the pitching can give you one very small Wilson said. a great believer in pitchers pitching batting practice. Yet no one on our staff does. It was a suggestion on my part that he have the pitchers pitch batting practice.

But I never ordered him to do were disagreements, and apparently Bob felt the only way to resolve them was to Wilson said. was not tell you that. In fact, I offered him a job scouting for us. I know if accept or Shaw said he had no immediate plans except to Shaw, 40, pitched for seven major league clubs between 1957 and 1967, coippiling a 106-98 record. He had an 18-6 record and 2.69 average for the Chicago White Sox when they won the American League pennant in 1959 5 Crandall and Short agreed the veteran threw about as well as he has all season.

When they do that, I know I have a good fast The defeat left the Brewers six games off the pace in the American League East and two games under .500.

They had today off and will open a series at Texas Tuesday night. Devine Warns Of Long Tough Training Camp GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) The bane of a pro football existence two a-day work-outs opened for the entire Green Bay Packer squad today amid Coach Dan warnings the double duty will last longer than usual this year. plan two a day through the second preseason Devine said. need a lot of concentrated work.

It will be a rough training camp. There are a lot of things we need to work Training camp actually began a week ago with special drills for passers and receivers, who were joined Wednesday by selected veterans. The rest of the veterans arrived Friday night and, after all passed physical examinations, underwent running endurance tests during the weekend. The running involved four sprints of 80 yards each, five of 60 yards, six of 50 and eight of 40. Devine, whose policy is not to disclose times, noted, not in bad shape, but not in as good shape as Of the veterans required to take the running tests, only defensive tackle Bob Brown failed to complete them.

Brown reported overweight, as he has for most of his eight seasons here. course. disappointed about Bob, but just Devine said. a different kind of guy. It hurts him and his career to report overweight, but Bob will come around.

be all Devine said the preparations seemed to be paying off, and that quarterbacks Scott Hunter and Jerry Tagge have been throwing better. looks like we again will be a team that will fire out and be Devine said.

In the third place game Never Inn of Pewaukee defeated Legions Post 434, 9-8. two doubles, a home run, five runs batted in and scored seven runs in the tournament.

Waukesha finished with five errors in the game and Egan said, definitely played bad with five errors. We were in the game until the eighth inning and then we ran into all kinds of problems. We walked a couple of guys, mixed with those errors and you do that against Lannon. was disappointing to me to lose this one dissappointing when you lose any time but we got beat pretty badly tonight. It was a pretty good game but those outbursts will happen Dave Schachtner, who has pitched for Waukesha much of the season, quit the team the week of the tournament to hurt pitching staff and forced the use of his only three pitchers Saturday.

As for Lannon Egan said, they have their whole team as tough as anybody and should do well in the state tournament. They have tough pitching we only had seven hits and what makes them tough: their Lannon must play Clintonville tonight in the first round of the state tournament. Owens, the manager for Lannon, care about the game coming up so quickly, noting, We re ready, I mind but then he added, course have to pick up another pitcher (each state tournament team is allowed four pickup Owens also said. We ve met Waukesha three times now and still the best team in the area. (Egan) got some problems over there with his pitching but still a great hitting Owens also want to let Clee get lost in the shuffle with the MVP award going to Jurewicz.

He said, could have been either one. How do you knock a guy who strikes out 19 batters (Jurewicz) or a guy who comes back with two days rest and beats a team like Waukesha in the championship Owens said the key to the tournament was, played well the whole time. If I had to say two guys who really played well it was Jimmie (Smith) and Paul (Lardie).
