Pirates to face impossible
task against L.A. Dodgers
(AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates
face a mission that’s been impossi
ble so far in National League
playoffs when they battle the hot
Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday in
the third game of the set.
Never in the previous five years
of playoff competition has a club lost
the first two games and come back to
win three in a row, and that’s what
the Pirates must do to reach the
World Series.
hasn’t won a game since Sept. 8 at
Cincinnati and since then has had
five starts.
Manager Danny Murtaugh said of
his Pirates, “From the opening of
the season, we’ve had our backs to
the wall.
“We’ve been counted out 9 or 10
times this year, and here we are,
still in it. ’’
A bomb scare delayed the Dod
gers’ return to Los Angeles after

Third baseman Ron Cey burst out
of a slump to slam a home run, two
doubles and a single Sunday.
“It seems when our team is hit

commented Manager Walter Als
ton, whose Dodgers are in champ
ionship contention for the first time
since 1966.
“We re the National League
champions,” proclaimed Jimmy
Wynn, the slugging little center
fielder who led the club in homers
with 32 in his first season with the
club after arriving from Houston via
trade last winter.

“I can’t remember when we’ve
played as well in back-to-back
games,” declared Dodger first
baseman Steve Garvey of the 3-0
and 5-2 victories in Pittsburgh.
For the third game, starting at
3:30 p.m. EDT Tuesday, the Dod
gers will send left hander Doug
Rau, 13-11, against right hander
Bruce Kison, 9-8.
On the plus for the Pirates, Rau
their Sunday victory.
Someone phoned the airport in
Pittsburgh and said a bomb was
aboard the Dodgers’ private plane.
An hour’s search proved the call a
hoax.
On the plus side for the Dodgers,
they’ve been hitting well.
“All year long we lost in
Pittsburgh, and then we went there
and beat them two in a row and now
take them to our yard.”
Don Sutton and Andy Messers-
mith pitched the victories in
Pittsburgh, and if the series goes
more than three games, they’ll be
available again.
Fun Run
set for Kyle
this Sunday
Oakland-Baltimore
playoff series tied
An Englishman will be the man to
beat in Sunday action of the Brazos
Valley Joggers Club.
Making his first appearance in
BVJC’s recent five-mile open, John
Crompton placed at the top of a
25-entry field. He covered the five
miles in 29 minutes and 43 seconds.
A different type event is
scheduled this Sunday. Starting at 3
p.m. in Kyle Field alongside a
one-mile “Fun Run”, it is called a
“Devil Take the Hindmost” run.
The last runner at the end of each
lap has to drop out. It goes until one
runner is still moving.
The fun run is for the less
strenuous-minded. Thirteen en
tered the fun run with the recent
five-mile open. Kendall Toon
placed first in 6:09. Six-year-old
Mark Epperson walked and jogged
the mile in 12:24 to finish 13th.
Crompton had been in the U. S.
three weeks. Working toward a
Ph.D. in recreation at Texas A&M
University, he seemed surprised,
but glad, to find a group of road
runners here, according to Jon Ep
person.
Paul Hicks turned the five miles
in the second best time, 30:59, and
Epperson placed third. Times
ranged from Crompton’s 29:43 to
42:58 by Edward Fitchard.
Information about the Sunday
runs can be obtained from race di
rector Mel Chastain, 822-3001.
(AP) — As might be expected, the
unexpected has dominated the
American League championship
playoffs between the Oakland Ath
letics and the Baltimore Orioles.
The results of the first two games
in the best-of-five playoff only
seemed to prove the old baseball
bromide that anything can happen
in a short series.
And, when the series resumes in
Baltimore Tuesday with game No.
3, Manager Earl Weaver of the
Orioles looks for more of the same.
“We’re pretty evenly matched,”
Weaver said as some of the Orioles
worked out Monday on a voluntary
basis.
'“The games might be decided by
a ball being lost in the sun, a bad hop-
or a squibber. An inch here or an
inch there might bust it open.”
The winning pitchers in the first
two games, Baltimore’s Mike Cuel
lar and Oakland’s Ken Holtzman,
each had 1-3 records against the op
posing teams in head-to-head com
petition this season.
Cuellar won the opener Saturday
when the Orioles shelled three
homers off Jim “Catfish” Hunter, a
25-game winner who had beaten
Baltimore seven straight times, in
cluding twice this year.
Ray Fosse, who clouted a three-
run homer in Oakland’s 5-0 victory
on Sunday, batted . 133 against Bal
timore during 1974.
Sal Bando, with 22 homers this
season, didn’t connect against the
Orioles until Sunday and he had
batted .219 against Baltimore.
Helping to prove Weaver’s
theory, five of Oakland’s six runs

were unearned. Bando hit his
homer after second baseman Bobby
Grich dropped his foul pop and
Fosse’s came after substitute short
stop Frank Baker muffed a two-out
grounder.
Noting the somewhat topsy-turvy
performances to date. Weaver said
Tuesday’s pitching matchup
“should be in our favor.”
He referred to Vida Blue’s 2-0 re
cord against the Orioles this season,
while Baltimore starter Jim Palmer
is 0-1 with an astronomical 6.55
earned run average.
They met twice in the 1973
playoffs. Palmer won the series
opener, 6-0, and Blue was driven
from the box in game No. 4 after
taking a 4-0 lead into the seventh
inning.
Blue wound up the 1974 season
with a 17-15 record. Palmer, last
year’s Cy Young award winner in
the American League, spent 54 days
on the disabled list with a sore arm
and finished below .500 for the first
time in the majors at 7-12.
Although Palmer is familiar with
pressure games, having pitched the
clinching victory in all four of
Baltimore’s previous pennants and
with 3-1 record in World Series
play, the 28-year-old hurler says his
sore arm has added another dimen
sion.
Palmer said, “I’m more aware
than ever that I have to be a pitcher
instead of a thrower. It decreases
my margin of error.”
Ross Grimsley, an 18-game win
ner with a 3-0 record against the A s
in 1974, volunteered to pitch relief
in the playoffs. He replaced Cuellar
in the ninth inning of the opener.
Weaver has indicated that Cuel
lar would start game No. 4 on Wed
nesday. Either Dave McNally, the
second game starter, or Grimsley
would be available for a deciding
fifth game.
The Athletics bypassed a Monday
workout in Memorial Stadium.

Rolling 201: HOWTO ROLL BETTER
Required Textbooklet: e-z wider Prof. E.Z. Jay |
1.
Fold the paper”(approx. %") at the end that
isn’t gummed. Sprinkle tobacco into this
fold. Put more at the ends than in the mid
dle Close the paper over the tobacco. But
don’t tuck it in back of the tobacco just yet. 7
2.
Hold both halves of the paper, cradling the
tobacco inside with your thumbs closest to
you and your second and third fingers in
back.
3.
Spin the tobacco by sliding the paper back
and forth a number of times.
4,
When the tobacco is shaped and packed;
pinch the tobacco and the paper at the cen
ter so that when you start to roll, the paper
will guide itself around the tobacco.
Roll the cigarette tightly, beginning at the
center; and by pulling, work your fingers out
to the ends.
Lick the gummed edge closed. Trim loose
tobacco from the ends. The cigarette is now
ready to smoke.
This course is open to both beginning and advanced
students of hand-rolled cigarettes. Emphasis is on
easier, better rolling via the use of E-Z Wider
double-width rolling papers. The course exposes the
disadvantages of conventional rolling practices such
as sticking two regular papers together to roll one
smoke. Students will learn that there is no better
gummed paper made than E-Z Wider. —
