PAGE 8 NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL Giant killers do it again, cut lead to one game in grand style By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS One game separates Los An- geles Dodgers and San Fran- cisco Giants, and from now on, it will be up to the rest of the National League West to decide which of them wears the crown, Minto Cup game to Richmond NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. (CP) — The Roadrunners of Richmond, B.C., taok the open- ing game of the Minto Cup Ca- nadian junior lacrosse final Monday night, edging Peterbor- ough PCO 16-14 in overtime. The Roadrunners becoming the first western team to win a game in the national final in four years, blew leads of six goals and five goals before fi- nally edging the Easterners be- fore a crowd of 2,772 fans. Goals by Dave Tasker Walt Weaver and Gabregani offsei a goal by Peterborough’s Jim Johnson in the 10-minute over- time period. . Thesecond game of the best- of-seven series will be Wednes- day night. All games will be played in New Westminster. The individual star was Tas- ker, the oldest of three brothers on the Richmond team. The smooth centre had three assists in addition to his seven goals for a 10-point performance. TEST EACH OTHER The teams spent most of the first period attempting to deter- mine the style of the other club. The only concentrated action came late in the period when Richmond started running for the first time. The Roadrunners scored three goals in 15 seconds—Ron Pinder on a power play, Tasker on a perfect pass from Weaver and Weaver on a pass from Tasker. Leading 5-4 going in the sec- ond period, the Roadrunners tried to put it away with five straight goalsm Only two goals by Tom Parnell kept the period ~—and the-game—from ‘being:a complete disaster for Peterbor-:* ough, as Richmond led 11-6 after 40 minutes. Just as the second period be- longed to Richmond, the third was dominated by Peterbor- ough. The visitors fired the first five goals to tie the score. Tasker then scored his fifth and sixth goals, but Peterbor- ough showed tremendous deter- mination, Pete Guerin finally scoring the equalizer at 19:11 to send the game into overtime with the score at 13-13, Parnell, young brother of sen- ior scoring star Paul Parnell of New Westminster Salmonbel- lies, finished with four goals for Peterborough. Or maybe they'll still have to work it out themselves. They've had to do it before—twice in 20 years—and in each case the Giants have come out on top. But when these two teams collide, it’s not just another game. “It was like a World Series game,” Los Angeles manager Walter Alston said after his scrambling, clawing Dodgers won their eighth in a row and 13th in 15 games, stunning the Giants 6-5 on Manny Mota’s three-run pinch double in the lop of the ninth inning. WAS EIGHTH STRAIGHT It was also their eighth straight triumph this year over San Francisco and gave the hard-charging Dodgers the sea-' son series 12-6 against the Giants, who less than two weeks aga commanded what seemed to be an_ all-but-invulnerable 644-game margin before losing nine of 10. *“T wasn't discouraged,”’ said the unemotional Alston, refer- ring to the ninth inning, when the Dodgers came up trailing 5- 3. “I've been around long enough to know you can't give up loo soon.”’ The Dodgers didn’t. They loaded the bases with nobody out on singles by Duke Sims, pinch-hitter Bull Sudakis and Maury Wills, setting up Mota's liner that sailed just inches over ‘third baseman Alan Gallagher's glove, sending all three runners scurrying across the plate. The two-bagger obliterated the San Francisco lead built on Bobby Bonds’ second home run of the game, a three-run blast in the seventh inning coming only minutes after Chris Speier had hit a solo shot which started the rally, In other National League games, Pittsburgh Pirates beat Chicago Cubs 4-3 to open a 714- game East lead over St. Louis Cardinals, who lost 5-4 to Phila- delphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves rode Hank Aaron’s two home runs to a 5-2 victory over Cin- cinnati Reds, Montreal Expos split a doubleheader with New York Mets, winning the opener 12-1 before losing 6-3, and San Diego Padres topped Houston Astros 5-2. FOX DOWNCAST.. . “We threw everything we had- at them,” a downcast Giants manager Charlie Fox muttered, “We got five runs—~you'd think we could get three outs in the ninth.” They got them—one double and three runs too late. “Six inches lower and we might have had a triple play," he said of Mota’s liner. Then, his gaze turning to a defiant glare, he added: “We're still one game ahead with 14 left to play. We're not going to pack up and quit!” Mota, faced John Cum- berland, who had just taken over for Jerry Johnson on the mound. “I was going to swing on the first pitch if it looked like a strike,” he said. But the game still wasn’t over, Sudakis had batted for winning reliever Joe Moeller, so somebody else had to pitch the bottom of the ninth. CALLS ON WILHELM Alston called on Hoyt Wil- helm, who was only a year away from the majors when Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants Staged their first incredible playoff, climaxed by Bobby Thomson's home run that wrote “The Miracle of Coogan's Bluff," the site of the Polo Grounds, the Giants’ old home. Wilhelm struck out pinch-hit- ter Fran Healy and got Speier on a grounder, But he walked dangerous pinch-hitter Willie McCovey, then Jimmy Rosario Tan for McCovey and dashed to second on a passed ball. That brought up Willie Mays, who was already playing back in that momentous 1951 play-off ~-and who was, incidentally, the on-deck batter when Thomson homered. Wilhelm struck out Mays. “Now we can start worrying about the Cards,” Pittsburgh manager Danny Murtaugh said after his Bucs beat the Cubs on Richie Hebner's triple and a passed ball in the sixth inning, tagging 21-game winner Fergu- son Jenkins with his 13th loss, WISE’S BAT HELPS Rick Wise of the Phils helped win his own game at the plate, driving in two runs with a single in the five-run second inning that flipped the Cards. Aaron's five runs batted in with his 42nd and 4ard homers of theseason moved him past Stan Musial into fourth place on the all-time RBI list with 1,953, one behind the late Ty Cobb. He hit a three-run job in the first inning following singles by Felix Millan and Ralph Garr, then unloaded in the fifth after winning pitcher Ron Reed bunted his way on base, It was the 53rd time Aaron has hit two or more homers in a game and gave him 635 career round trip- pers. Ron Fairly drove in five runs for the Expos in their opening game romp by Wayne Garrett and Ed Kranepool countered with hdMers in the nightcap for the Mets. Rusty Staub had one in each game for Montreal. Ed Acosta tamed the Astros on five hits and got all the runs he needed when the Padres struck for five in the first in- ning. VANCOUVER (CP) — Non- resident sports fishermen in British Columbia tidal waters will have to get special boat licences ranging as high as $75 next year, In addition to licences for privately-owned tourist boats, U.S. charter or rental vessels will have to obtain regular commercial fishing licences, ranging from §100 ‘te $400 TERRACE HERALD, TERRACE, B.C. SYNTHETIC TURF MAY BE CAUSE OF INJURIES WASHINGTON (AP) Three manufacturers of syn: thetic turf for athletic fields have been asked by a Congressional committee for an appraisal of its potential for athlete injury. : Chairman John E. Moss (D- Calif.) of the House sub- committee on commerce and finance, requested immediate reports in connection with his panel's consideration of con- sumer product legislation. Moss said he was "gravely concerned over a recent study by Dr. James Garrick of the University of Washington in- dicating that synthetic turf may cause almost 50 per cent more injuries than grass fields.” Moss said about 113 synthetic football fields have been in- stalled for high school, college and professional teams at a cost of about $250,000 each, “Over one million athletes at the high school, college and pro level may be exposed to ad- ditional risk of injury if the University of Washington study is correct," Moss said. Moss said the study found synthetic turf caused additional knee and ankle injuries because of increased friction. He said studies published in 1965 and 1967 in Rhode Island Ohio established that knee and ankle injuries already were the most prevalent serious football injuries, Summer flood of young travellers: | AMSTERDAM(CP)— What do you do when the only beds left are in high-priced hotels and all you have is $10 and a few French francs in a fraying jeans pocket? _ Peter Jansen, 23, of Hamil- ton headed for Vondelpark, where this summer up to 2,000 young people a night have camped free beside ponds and pathways,along the preserve of Sunday strollers and the ac- casional love-in, Tents were banned as grass began to wither towards the . summer's end but inhabitants improvised with plastic gar- bage bags, tarpaulins stretched between trees and brightly striped deck chair lean-tos, Others sought shelter under an overpass straddling the pathways where radios blar- . ing beside rows of sleeping bags harmonized with traffie overhead. The park project was one of several emergency accommo- dation plans provided by Eu- ropean cities bracing for the summer flood of young travel- lers that quickly swamped ex- isting youth hostels, univer- sity residences, student-run hotels and cheap pensions. it also gave Peter a job. Working for $1.12 an hour in the baggage lock-up, he was one of 30 young. people from various countries paid by the city to maintain the park, clean the 12 toilets and cold- water showers, staff the low- priced canteen and direct campers with problems to city health department medical and drug team workers lo- "Something to prove”, By THE CANADIAN PRESS Boston Bruins opened their National Hockey League training camp Sunday in London, Ont. and general manager Milt Schmidt says the players feel they have “something to prove.” So apparently do two other players, goalies Bernie Parent of Toronto Maple Leafs and Doug Favell of Philadelphia Flyers, The powerful Bruins had a light skating. workout Sunday for 29 players in the main camp, The only player’ missing was defenceman Dallas Smith, who had funeral.

He retrieved empty bottles from garbage bins and “whole unopened lunches that people . just toss away," then worked as a cigarette machine opera- tor for a “god-awful four weeks, two days and 2% hours.” . He now lives in a houseboat commune on a canal and plans to find a new job in Am- sterdam when the park pro- ject ends,. “Most park people are stu- dents with enough money just passing through,” he said. “This place draws them be- cause it’s cheap, a good place to meet people and open 24 hours a day.” . He said the chief problems were thieves rifling sleepers’ . packs and drug-pushers, the target of constantly patrolling police and plainclothesmen.
