-PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1971- 'Plow' Sets Big Share of 'Park' Feature By CHARLEY FEENEY Brett Blasts Red Sox for Brewer Deal Day of Embarrassment BALTIMORE The final score made little difference. It was Embarrassing at any figure. The question now is will the embarrassment continue. Can the Pirates regroup against a band of Orioles who are thinking sweep in this World Series? lack of communication between front office and ball players. It keeps continuing." With Tony Conigliaro, Scott and Lonborg gone, the major stars left from Boston's 1967 pennant-winning team are Outfielders Carl Yastrzemski and Reggie Smith and third baseman Rico Petrocelli.

Because of the trading of Scott, Manager Eddie Kask6-may now be forced to switch Yastrzemski to first base. Sources close to the Red said the key to the trade for the club was the unloading Billy Conigliaro because of his verbal blast at Yastrzemski for running the club. Gelding Returns $8.20 in 'Flats' 1st at Meadows Meadows' Results, Entries Page 21. By JIMMY JORDAN 4 Post-Gaiette Snorts Writer MEADOW LANDS, Pa. Pitt Park Racing put its 70-night meeting at The Meadows into action last night with a 3-1 second choice with the unlikely name of Perfect Plow romping home an easy victor in the feature race before a howling crowd of 7048.

Longshot winners and extra-curricular excitement were mixed into the nine-race pro- (Continued from Page 18) the Red Sox and Brewers time to conclude the transaction. In Boston, it was greeted by Brett with his blast. "It's stunning," the 23-year-old southpaw said. "At first, I thought I would be traded, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought they might keep me another year. I can't believe it.

Will the Pirates be remembered as a team that was completely outclassed by the Birds from Baltimore? If this World Series ends sometime around 11 o'clock tomorrow night, American Leaguers will have an idea that the National League is some kind of Bush League. It's up to the Pirates to hold up the respectability of the National League.

Earl Weaver 1971 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS PITTSBURGH PIRATES 5x7 SOUVENIR ASH TRAY IKI UAH CD nrtY Maravich To Miss Opener By The Associated Press Pistol Pete Maravich, whose presence on the Atlanta squad caused many problems at the start of the 1970-71 season, will not be in the Hawks' starting lineup tonight as the NBA begins its 26th campaign. Maravich, the highest scorer in major college basketball history, is suffering from infectious mononucleosis. He missed the last week of the exhibition season and has been placed on the injured list, meaning he will miss at least five games.

Last season, Maravich's first in the NBA after a brilliant career at Louisiana State University, the Hawks, favorites to win the Central Division title, got off poorly, winning only 17 of their first 41 games. Then, after they adjusted to Maravich and vice versa the Hawks won 17 of i final 26 games and made the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season under Coach Richie Querin, Maravich, despite some erratic shooting, finished with an average of 23.2 points a game, second best on the Hawks, Replacing him in the back-court tonight against the Royals at Cincinnati will be Herm Gilliam. Buffalo opens at home tonight against Seattle, another team expected to be vastly improved. There will be two other games on tonight's program Detroit at New York and Philadelphia at Chicago. Milwaukee, defending league champion, opens a at Phoenix.

The other NBA clubs will play their first games by the end of the week. The ABA starts its fifth season tomorrow night, with defending champion Utah entertaining Denver in the only game.

Time for the mile was 1:44.4. Perfect Plow paid $8.20, $3.40 and King's Inn, $3.00 and $2.60, and Flying Bars, $3.00. Laudy Claudy, a winner at both Dover Downs and Pocono Downs during recent meetings, is the early favorite in tonight's McKeesport Purse, highlights of the Pitt Park thoroughbred race meet which opened last night at The Meadows. Laudy Claudy, starting from the No. 4 gate in the field of seven, is quoted at 3-1 on the Mourning Line for the 5-fur-long dash.

He'll carry 116 pounds, with Arnold Ilicscu in the saddle. Benray Queen, 117 pounds, is a 4-1 second choice, while Falcon Fury, top-weighted at 119 along with Bright Charmer, is 5-1 overnight. Bright Charmer, starting outside, is an 8-1 choice. Benray Queen, who won her first race at Pocono Downs July 30, won another race on the same track before being shipped to The Meadows. Another recent winner at Pocono, who could be a surprise because she is carrying only 113 pounds, is Another Tilly.

There are nine on tonight's program, with post time 7:30 o'clock for the first. They range from a 3-furlong sprint in the first race to a mile router in the sixth. gram for the first pari-mutual thoroughbred racing in Western Pennsylvania's history. April Nashua came home In the fourth race to return his backers 126.20, and the duo of Down East and Craig's Fault in the fifth paid holders of the 3-6 perfecta combination $88.20. The second race nadn't started when Easy Tan, a four-year-old chestnut colt, broke through the front of the starting gate, throwing jockey Andy Seldomridge to the track before making a solo trip of his own all the way around the track.

Seldomridge was not injured, and returned to ride Sagidical in the third, finishing far back. King's Inn, and a old chestnut gelding with Carlos Rodriquez aboard, went off at 4-5 in the mutuals in the feature race, the a 's Handicap, but was 6 lengths behind Perfect Plow when he crossed the finish line. Perfect Plow, a six-year-old gelding with Jermane Vasquez aboard, breezed along in fourth place until he had passed the half-mile post in the one-mile race. Three, Vasquez gave him his head, had him in front at the three-quarters pole, and won going away. King's Inn had started from the No.

Please Include Your Signature Pirates today. They can only help themselves. They hurt their image in Baltimore. The Birds did all the chirping. It was embarrassing.

Teased by Palmer The Bucs have one thing going for them. They have been a no-quit club all season. They have bounced back when they appeared ready to fold during the pennant race. Teams have won World Series after losing the first two games. Teams have been clobbered in World Series games and came out winners in the end.

Remember 1960? The; Bucs were beaten by the Yankees by scores of 16-3, 10-0 and 12-0. Bill Mazeroski's seventh-game homer made the 1960 Bucs chuckle at the humiliation of those three losses. The Yankees were considered unbeatable in 1960. The Orioles the Yankees of the 70s look unbeatable now. The Birds' starter yesterday, Jim Palmer, teased the Bucs until he became arm weary after eight innings.

By the sixth inning, Earl Weaver was sending in reserves. Frank Robinson took the rest of the day off. Frank didn't appear strong yesterday. Poor guy settled for three singles. You could have put all those singles together and they wouldn't have matched his Saturday homer off Dock Ellis.

-Leg Weary- Maybe The Orioles proved they were human yesterday. They were leg weary. Running the bases makes Birds tired. They're supposed to fly. Maybe the Birds will be too pooped to do much damage to Steve Blass this afternoon at Three Rivers Stadium.

Maybe. Maybe things will go right for the Bucs today. Maybe. The Bucs tell you this World Series isn't over yet. They talk about returning to Baltimore this weekend.

Anybody who spent one weekend in Baltimore and wants to spend another is some kind of a nut. Maybe there is a nut or three among the Bucs, but most of them are sane guys. They're sane enough to know when they've been embarrassed in public. iBnaBMMMMMaa iMAIL COUPON TO. bbmbbmmmbbhh 3 Locations To Serve You REIZENSTEIN'S Phone Canadian Football I 510 Wood St.
