THE BATTALION
Mets One Away From Impossible Dream
By Gordon Beard
Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK UP) — The Balti

didn’t hear various sounds dur
ing the heat of combat Wednes
day, and it cost them dearly in
the fourth game of the World
WBA Names
Six Fighters
SYLVANIA, Ohio UP) _ Six
fighters were recognized Tues
day by the World Boxing Associ
ation as Boxers-of-the-Month.
Those cited by the WBA in an
nouncing its monthly ratings
were junior middleweight Rod
rigo Valdes of Colombia, welter
weight Hans Orsolics of Austria,
bantamweight Ruben Olivares of
Mexico, light heavyweight Jim
my Dupree of New York, welter
weight Ernie Lopez of Las
Vegas, Nev., and lightweight
champion Mando Ramos of Los
Angeles.
Olivares was recognized for
his knockout victory over Aus
tralia’s Lionel Rose that gave
him the title of bantamweight
champion of the world.
Series.
Two of the mistakes came in
the 10th inning, when the New
York Mets scored a run to win
2-1 and take a 3-1 lead in the
best-of-7 series.
First, left fielder Don Buford
broke the wrong way on a rou
tine fly ball by Jerry Grote
which fell in front of him for a
double.
“I thought the ball was hit
harder than it was,” Buford said,
“and I broke back to keep from
giving up an extra base hit.
“Then I lost the ball in the
glare and didn’t pick it up until
it got above the sun.”
Shortstop Mark Belanger ran
into left field when he saw Bu
ford having difficulty, and he
almost caught the ball.
“I think Grote broke his bat
on the swing,” said Orioles re
liever Dick Hall. “It sounded
loud, and I guess that fooled Bu
ford.”
After an intentional walk,
pinch-runner Rod Caspar scored
from second when reliever Pete
Richert fielded a bunt by J. C.
Martin and hit Martin with his
throw to first base.
Richert and catcher Ellie Hen
dricks reached the bunted ball
about the same time, and brush
ed against each other before
Richert made the pickup.
“I called for the ball all the
way,” Hendricks said, “and may
be Pete did, too. But with all
the crowd noise I don’t know.
The play was out in front of
me.”
Richert, who had to spin be
fore making the throw, said he
heard something, “but I wasn’t
about to listen. I just went
ahead and made the play. I took
it, and threw it.”
Told Martin was hit on the
left wrist by the throw, Richert
said, “I hope it's broken.”
“I’d like to see the video re
play,” Richert continued. “I don’t
know if Martin was inside the
foul line while running toward
first. I tried to threw the ball
inside the line.”
Manager Earl Weaver of the
Orioles claimed crowd noise also
contributed to his being ejected
from the game in the third inn
ing by plate umpire Shag Craw
ford.
Crawford advanced toward the
Baltimore dugout after Weaver
and the Orioles yelled about a
called strike on Mark Belanger,
and when Weaver came out of
the dugout he was ejected.
“I had hollered on a pitch to
Donn Clendenon, just before he
hit the homer in the second,”
Weaver said. “Then when Craw
ford called the strike on Mark, I
yelled, ‘hey, we want thht pitch,
too.’
“When Crawford poirited his
finger and yelled something,”
Weaver said, “I didn't know
Famed Green Bay
QB, Herber, Dead
C. “Arnie” Herber, 59, the Green
Bay Packers’ famed passing quar
terback of the 1930s and early
40s, died of cancer Tuesday night
in a Green Bay hospital.
He was a member of the Pro
Football Hall of Fame and the
Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame.
Herber was a native of Green
Bay and played with the Packers
from 1930 through 1941.
He often was described as the
longest and most accurate for
ward passer of his time and was
the throwing partner in the com
bination of Herber to Don Hutson.
Herber completed 487 passes
for more than 8,000 yards and 66
touchdowns. He was elected to
the Pro Football Hall of Fame
at Canton, Ohio, in 1966 and wa(5
named to the Wisconsin Athletic
Hall of Fame in 1967.
what he said. I just went out to
ask him.”
“All I said was ‘Shag’ about
three times — because he was
walking away — and he turned
and said I was out of the game.”
Weaver, who was tossed out
of four regular season games
and became the first World Ser
ies manager to be ejected since
1935, said Crawford told him he
was thrown out for protesting
balls and strikes.
“It’s funny,” Weaver said “but
before the series, Commissioner
Bowie Kuhn told us at a meet
ing the umpires would bend over
backwards to keep us in the
game. He told us to inform our
players, however, not to use pro
fanity.”
“I didn’t use any profanity,”
Weaver said, and this was con
firmed by Crawford.
Weaver indicated he may have
watched part of the game from
the dugout runway, emphasizing
several times that he watched
most of the game on television
in the locker room.
As for the remainder of the
Series, Weaver said, “I’ll holler
again if the same situation comes
up. I’m rooting for us. Just
because it’s a World Series, I
can’t change. I manage the way
I manage.”
