Big League Summary
Shannon easing the St. Louis
Cardinals past the New York
Mets 2-0 Wednesday night.
Dick Simpson and Dal Maxvill
led off the third inning with
singles. Carlton then weighed in
with a single to score one run.
The runners advanced on an in
field out and Julian Javier rapped
a hit off loser A1 Jackson to ap
parently drive in both runners.
But the Mets appealed that
Carlton had missed third base
and umpire Doug Harvey upheld
the appeal. That took away one
run from the Cardinals and an
RBI from Javier.

WASHINGTON (A>)_Pinch hit
ter Jerry Adair’s single and Carl
Yastrzemski’s sacrifice fly drove
in two runs in the eighth inning
and gave the Boston Red Sox a
3-1 victory over the Washington
Senators Wednesday night.
It was the Senators’ sixth
straight defeat.
Dick Ellsworth won his third
game but needed help from Gary
Bell after one-out singles by Del

eighth. Bell retired Frank Howard
on a popup and Cap Peterson on
a fly to left.
Peterson’s single and Bernie
