structed around the home
runs and Hooton’s baffling
ymuckilecurve, ted the best-
of-seven series at 1-1 with
the next three games
scheduled for Los Angeles
beginning Frida ht.

Hunter, pitching for the
first time in more than a
month, was a shell of a once-
great pitcher, walloped
almost at will by the
Dodgers and kayoed in just 2
1-3 ings. By the time
manager Billy Martin came
out to get him, the Dodgers
had ail the runs would
need on this cool, crisp
night, ’ ’

teve Garvey climaxed
the home run onslaught with
a solo shot in the ninth off
Yankees relief ace Sparky

Lyle.

Martin, operating with a
somewhat slim supply of
healthy pitchers, had taken
a calculated risk starting
Hunter, who had been
sidelined since Sept. 10 with
a urological disorder. It

became obvious early that
this was one gamble the
Yankees manager was
going to lose.

In the first inning, Hunter
retired the first two batters
he faced but then surren-
dered a ringing double to
right centre field by Smith.

e Yankees right-hander
got ahead of Cey with two
quick strikes, but thé

edgers third baseman
deposited the next pitch well
beyond the left field fence,
just to the right of 387-foot
sign.

An inning later, Hunter
again retired the first two
Dodgers batters, bringing
up Yeager. Again, Hunter
was one strike away from
the out, and again, the
batter won the showdown.
Yeager's shot landed in vir-
tually the same spot Cey’s
had in the first inning, well
beyond the left field fence.

the third, Bill Russell
laced a one-out, first-pitch
ain e to right field, bringing
up Smith. The count went to
2-2 and the Dodgers out-
fielder sent a tapemeasure
shot halfway up the
bleachers beyond right
centre,

As Smith circled the
bases, Hunter stood on the
mound, his head bowed,

erhaps remembering

tter World Series mo-
ments. He took a 4-1 career
Series record into Wed-

Last month, a move by

rejected by the Olympic In-

Savard said five other
groups also applied,

While the O[B refused to
indentify the other five, an
NASL spokesan said that the
Jacobs group “is the only

Martin came out to get
Hunter before more damage
could be done. The power
display was a familiar
dilemma for Hunter this
season. He surrendered 29
homers in only 143 1-3 in-
nings pitched.

Garvey’s shot in the ninth
finished the Dodger attack
and by then the crowd of
56,691 — largest at Yankee
Stadium this year — had
become restless and unruly.

Firecrackers and smoke
bombs were tossed from the
stands onto the field and
fights broke out in the seats.
Some fans in the upper
stands ‘doused fans in the
lower stands with beer and
the game was delayed
several times as young fans

Hooton, however, was

MVP

TORONTO (CP) —
Toronto Argonaut coach Leo
Cahill credits middle
linebacker Ray Nettles with
the biggest contribution to
the turnaround that has
made his team a playoff
contender.

Cahill, commenting on the
Canadian Football League’s
outstanding player awards,
picked Nettles as the

Argonaut’s most valuable

player.

ettles came to the Argos
in an off-season Canadian
Football League trade that
saw offensive tackle Larry
Watkins, middle linebacker
Ray Cvijanovich and
Canadian defensive back
Barry Finlay move to
British Columbia Lions.

Only Watkins remains
with the Lions.

Members of the Football
Reporters of Canada in the
nine CFL cities decide the
player awards.

Both Nettles and Ealey
are former award winners,
Nettles in '73 as outstanding
lineman and Ealey in ’72 as
top rookie with the Hamilton
Tigercats.

kept the team alive during
the early part of the season,
with the offence taking
charge in recent games to
produce a 6-6 record and
second place in the Eastern
Conference.

: Northmen aren*t

big winners...

The Terrace Northmen got goosed in the First Annual
_ Gobblers the fact they didn’t win a single game,they placed

sixth among the eight teams.

The Northmen missed out on the first prize live turkey to
winning U.B.C. Yhunderibrds. The winners didn't seem to
want it, though according to the Northman | player Derek
Shalock. The captain of the UBC team couldn't get it to
come out from under a truck. When he did get to it, he
wouldnt touch it.

é Northmen got praise and a trophy for their play. ‘All
the other teams in the tournament were way beyond our
league” said Shadlock. Some other teams playing were the
Portland Pigs, the Seattle Chuckanauts and the North
Nancouver Caplianos.
