The sixth largest paid crowd in Chicago baseball history, 51,904, Sunday watched the White Sox trim the New York Yankees, 6-1 and 5-4, with Allen's dramatic, ninth-inning, three-run pinch-homer winning the nightcap. Tanner elected to rest hirn. When Allen's name failed appear in the second gamt starling lineup, Chicago Owner John Allyn alarmingly asked why. Tanner replied, "I'm just gojng to rest him. I'll use him when we get the' bases loaded.

He'll hit a homer and win It for us." The bases weren't exactly loaded-Bill Melton had walked and Mike Atidrews singled when Tanner sent Allen in to pinch-hit for Rich Morales. In a rare pinch-hitter role, Allen blasted a pitch by (Continued on Page 21) The former troubled star of the Philadelphia Pbils, St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers missed the entire spring training period. He came to terms just as the player strike derailed the start of the 1972 season. But since then, everything Allen has done for the White Sox has been with class and clout.

He has been charming with the news media and is the club leader for the surprising team which is second in the American League West with a 25-17 record. Until Sunday's second game, Allen has played every inning of the team's first 41 games; Then Chicago Manager Chuck to 331,918, compared with 195,486 for the same period last year. The lure of "bat day," causing more than 8,000 fans to be turned away at the gates, undoubtedly was a major factor in the biggest turnout since 54.067 a 1 1 a Yankee-White Sox night game July 27, 1954. But the fact that Allen has pumped new life into the White Sox hasn't hurt the turnstile spin, either. Allen, American League leader in runs batted in with 37, has baffled, intrigued and now awed the White Sox since he signed for a reported $135,000 last April 1.

The winning hit scored Harmon i 1 1 who had reached second when Dave Johnson fielded his Ieadoff infield hit and threw wildly past first base. It snapped the Twins' losing streak at four games.

Minnesota's other runs off loser Dave McNally, 5-5, came on singles by Darwin and Steven Brye and a two-run double by Eric Soderholm. The Orioles, who have lost four in a row and six of their last seven games, managed just five hits off Dick Woodson, 4-3, and reliever Wayne Granger after a batting practice yesterday morning which followed Sunday's double header shutout loss to Oakland. The Orioles scored In the third when Mark Belanger beat out a bunt and moved around on a stolen base, an infield out and another safe bunt by Johnny Oates.

There's a slight edge among those who think the Giants nd Stoneham need money.

Three "three hundred grand" players, Mays, McCovey and Marichal, plus a few million dollars oaid out'towards rebuilding Candlestick Park have put Horace Stoneham and his associates in a financial bind.

During the strike, Stoneham felt Willie let him flown. Stoneham was hurt. He figured Mays owed him some loyalty because he bailed him out of several financial jams.

JUNE 1972 BATTING AB IB IB HR Rbi Pet. Oliver has all-star credentials and there are no current men playing in center, field who are doing better than he is.

But the all-star voting is based on outfielders not by position. It could be that Danny Mur-taugh, who will manage the NL team, will have to do some manuevering to come up with a center fielder for three innings of the game, Suppose the. fans select Hank Aaron, Clemente and Rusty Staub as their first three outfielders. Will Clemente, the best right fielder of the three, become the center fielder? Oliver is among the top 10 batters in the league with a .318 average. He is among the first five batters in the league in RBI with 31.

Bobby Tolan of the Reds is the only legit center fielder with credentials that come close to Oliver's. It could be that both Tolan and Oliver will not be among the first five outfielders voted on the all-star squad. Some voting fans believe in tradition. They believe and perhaps rightly so that such legends as Aaron, Clemente and Mays belong on all-star teams. Clemente, unlike the others, always seems to have the right bat figures around all-star time.

He lets the other super stars live on tradition. 375 Kison 8 13 10 0 2 GB 4 1 15 3 2 22 blcnnet 88 14 32 6 SonouiHen 163 19 57 Dovolillo 70 19 24 4 Omente 156 27 50 10 CMnrs 66 11 21 3 West Division Pet.
