31 times at bat. The 27-year-old
outfielder, troubled by leg in
juries in recent seasons, won the
league batting title while with
the Dodgers in 1962 and 1963.
Mincher and Hall are giving
the Angels the long ball they ex
pected when the two and pitcher
Pete Cimino were acquired from
Minnesota for pitcher Dean
Chance.
Mincher, a first baseman, and
Hall, an outfielder, each have hit
three homers. Their averages are
impressive too, Mincher’s .357 and
Hall’s .304.
Wills, sent to Pittsburgh from
Los Angeles for Bob Bailey and
Gene Michael, is hitting .371 with
13 hits and two stolen bases.
Landis has been a pleasant sur
prise for the Astros. He has 10
hits in 29 tries for a .345 mark.
Cincinnati Loses
League Lead In 6-1
SAN FRANCISCO (A 5 ) — Juan
Marichal scattered seven hits for
his first victory of the season
and Jim Hart supplied the power
as the San Francisco Giants
trimmed Cincinnati 6-1 Tuesday
night, snapping the Reds’ win
ning string at five games.
Marichal, a 25-game winner last
year but a loser in each of his
first three 1967 starts, breezed
past the Reds. A sixth-inning
homer by Tony Perez spoiled the
Giant ace’s shutout bid.
Hart belted a two-run home
run off Rers’ rookie Gary Nolan
in the first inning, and also sin
gled and scored the first run in
a three-run sixth inning rally that
chased the 18-year-old right
hander.

He was obtained from Cleveland
for Lee Maye.
Mathews also is off to a good
start with the Astros after 15
years as a Brave in Boston, Mil
waukee and Atlanta. He has a
.289 batting average with one
homer and seven RBI.
A hitless performance in seven
trips in Monday night’s game
against Los Angeles dropped
Maris’ batting slate to .318. How
ever, he is doing considerably bet
ter than third baseman Charley
Smith of the New York Yankees,
for whom he was traded. Smith
is hitting only .189.
Peterson, who played in 89
games for San Francisco last
season, is responding to regular
work in Washington. He has 11
safeties in 38 times at bat for
.289.
The Dodgers’ Ron Hunt is hit
ting .270 and Michael is at .273.
Bailey, however, is way down at
.119. Hunt was obtained in the
Tommy Davis deal.
Several other players involved
in winter transactions are having
a rough time getting started.
They include Clete Boyer of At
lanta, who has a .174 batting av
erage, Bill Robinson of the Yanks
.158, Don Bosch of the Mets .139
and Bernie Allen of the Senators,
.167.
TORONTO <A>)_Bob Pulford’s
goal at 8:26 of the second sudden-
death overtime period gave To
ronto a 3-2 victory over Montreal
Tuesday night and a 2-1 lead in
their Stanley Cup final playoff
series.
The fourth game in the best-
of-7 series will be played in To
ronto Thursday night.
Pulford’s goal, with assists
from Pete Stemkowski and Jim
Pappin, came after the clubs had
battled through two scoreless
periods with Montreal’s rookie
goalie Rogatien Vachon and To
ronto’s 42-year-old Johnny Bower
turning away shot after shot.
Montreal had fought back to a
2-2 tie with just &0 seconds left
in the second period on John
Ferguson’s goal, which came off
Stemkowski’s stick just after a
faceoff to the left of Bower.
Pappin had given the Leafs a
2-1 edge at 10:34 of that period,
taking a pass from Tim Horton
before Montreal could clear the
puck out of a scramble.
The period was marked by
rugged play and both Brian
Conacher of Toronto and Claude
Larose of Montreal drew five
minute penalties for fighting.
Larose suffered a cut during the
scramble, which needed seven
stitches. He remained in the
game, however.
The opening score came with
just 2:27 gone in the first period
when with Horton in the penalty
box, Jean Beliveau took a pass
at the goal from Bobby Rousseau
and pushed it in for a 1-0 Mon
treal lead.
But with Ferguson off the ice

Pro Dynasty
SAN FRANCISCO (A?)—“You
have to look to the 76ers for the
next few years,” declared Coach
Bill Sharman of San Francisco’s
Warriors.
“They will be tough to beat.”
So a Philadelphia dynasty pow
ered by 7-foot 1-inch Wilt Cham
berlain looms on the professional
basketball picture. The 76ers,
having ended the reign of Bos
ton’s Celtics, took the National
Basketball Association crown by
beating San Francisco 125-122
Monday night.
for interference, the Maple Leafs
mounted a power play that suc
ceeded when Stemkowski tipped
in a sizzling drive from just in
side the blue line by Larry Hill
man at 8:39.
The third period and the first
overtime were played at a slower
pace than the first two, with
neither team able to capitalize
on several good shots at the goal.
A shot from the open by Ron
Ellis of the Leafs shortly after
the five-minute mark of the third
period hit the post and rebounded
away.
In the first overtime period.
J. C. C. Tremblay and Henri
Richard gave Bower some trou
ble, but the Toronto goalie kept
knocking the puck away.
The Leafs mounted a two-on-
one attack midway through the
period, but, with Vachon
sprawled on the ice, Bob Pulford
fired the puck over the net.
Yvan Cournoyer narrowly
missed a shot after faking Bower
out of position and Dave Keon
hit the post in a scramble around
the Montreal goal in which
Vachon again fell to the ice.

HIS EXCELLENCY
THE AMBASSADOR
by Erico Verissimo
This major novel probes underneath Washington’s red carpet
to explore the private lives of diplomats, ambassadors, congressional
dignitaries and others within the Capitol’s disarming, charming and
charmed “inner circle.”
Keyed to the tempo of today’s headlines, the book encompasses
two worlds—Washington, where social suavities often disguise ruth
less politicking, and El Sacramento, a South American country
wracked by revolutionary chaos.
Readers will be fascinated by the central figure, Don Gabriel
Alvarado, El Sacramento’s Ambassador to the U.S. A man of
enormous physical power and insatiable sexuality, he is encircled
by a constellation of characters which include a beautiful mistress,
a homosexual Second Secretary, a Minister Counselor who has
lost his faith in God, a cold American beauty and a young attache
who has still preserved his political ideals.
Alvarado, in Washington seeking arms and money for a counter
revolution within his own country, finds betrayal, passion and
violence. The action avalanches to a climax as jolting as a pistol
crack. Descriptions of El Sacramento’s internal havoc give readers
a keyhole view of the ax-and-whip machinations which mold a
dictatorship.

His Excellency the Ambassador has already won pre
publication acclaim from the critics:
“Verissimo has done more than write a novel with a
colorful background. The fiction is absorbing, but the
real import here is the insight he brings to the tensions
at work in many Latin American countries . . . Mr.
Verissimo has written a meaty novel!”
. . . Publishers’ Weekly
“Verissimo can handle this passionate mixture of the
personal and political; he has undoubtedly lived in
this kind of world. The novel . . . gives a dramatic
tale sharp focus.”
