Fans say Luplow made baseball's greatest catch By Milton Richman UPI Staff Writor Cleveland outfielder Al Lttplnw was id the middle of baseball's latest controversy today and there's about as much hope of settling this one as there is of proving which came first, the chicken or the egg. The only point everyone agrees on is that Luplow turned in the catch of the year Thursday when he flipped over a five-foot fence and landed in the Boston bullpen while snaring Dick Williams' 400 foot drive. ' The Indians, who won the game, 6-4, called Luplow's fan tastic seventh inning catch one of the greatest in baseball history. Some of the Red Sox went along with that, but to a man they insisted it was illegal be cause Luplow actually was out side the playing field at Fenway Park. Makes Official Protest "As far as I know, the rules say you've got to ho on the play ing field," said Red Sox manag er Johnny Pesky, who officially protested the game, believing that Williams was entitled to a home run. ' Two Boston runners were on base at the lime and one of them, Lou Clinton scored from third base after the catch. "Hell, a home run means throe runs to us and it tics the game at 6-6," Pesky said. Umpire Joe Paparella ruled Luplow's catch valid. He said he "saw Luplow catch the ball fall ing Into the bullpen. I saw the play all the way. He disappeared behind the fence but came up al most instantly, carrying the ball. He couldn't have dropped it. He didn't have time." Some of the Red Sox players In the bullpen at the time, includ ing pitcher Chet Nichols and coach Al Lakeman, conceded Luplow never dropped the ball but argued with Pesky that the catch actually was made in the bullpen. So American League president Joe Cronln, who will find Pesky's protest on his desk today, will have to rule whether Luplow caught the ball before nr after he landed in the bullpen. Good luck, Joe! Anyway, the victory, credited to Cleveland starter Barry Lat man, snapped a four-game Red Sox winning string. Mike De La Hos produced the Tribe's winning margin with his tliird hit of the game, a two-run single off reliev er Dick Radatz in the eighth. Rookie Wilbur Wood was the los er, however. Jerry Kindall, Max Alvis and Gene Green hit homers for the Indians while Carl yastrzemski and Russ Nixon connected for the Red Sox. In other AL action, the Chica go White Sox moved within eight percentage points of the first place New York Yankees by beating them, 6-0, on Ray Her bert's sixth shutout of the season, Minnesota drubbed Detroit, 10-6, and Washington clipped Kansas City, 4-2, in the only other sched uled contest. ' Only one game was played in the National League where John ny Callison' of the Philadelphia Phillies drove in four runs with a homer, triple, double and a sin gle in a 13-4 win over the Pitts burgh Pirates. Legion faces Lebanon tonight Coach Bill Bauer's Bend Le gion team fares a tough Leb anon nine tonight in a single game at municipal ballpark. Lebanon will stay here over night for a douhlrheader against the locals tomorrow. Saturday will also see North Salem here for a single game. Game time tonight is 8.30.

(UPI) - A national championship and two berths on the U.S. track team which will compete in Moscow next month were the prizes sought by 26 athletes as the national AAU - decathlon championships opened today. Most track experts predicted a four-man battle among Paul Her man of the U.S. Army, Steve Pauley of Oregon State Uni-' versify, Dave Edstrom of tlte Air Force and Phil Mulkey of Bir mingham, Ala.' The meet lost some of its gla mor when world record-holder C. K. Yang of UCLA withdrew last weekend to take part in a Euro pean tour for his native Formosa. Yang's action undoubtedly made the championship battle much closer, however. None of the entrants is expected to approach his world record of 9,121 points. Herman s 8.061 is the best this year by any of the com petitors. Mulkey, the former Mempliis Stale star, scored 8.709 in 1961 but finished second to ex-Oiegon spike star Edstrom in this spring's Kan sas Relays. Competition was to be held in the 100 meters, Broad jump, shot put. high jump and 400 meters today at Oregon State University's Bell Field. Saturday's schedule includes the pole vault, the 110 meter high hurdles, discus, jave lin and 1.500-meter run. Cool, partly cloudy weather with a possibility of shower3 was forecast both days.

Steve Fields, Glendale. Calif., scored an upset win over Larry Brooks, Eugene. Ore. The scores were 7-9. 6-3, 6-2. Rookie League sees 14-10, 10-0 wild fray wins Things were really slap-happy in Bend Rookie League action last night. Central Oregon Roofers downed Oregon Equipment 14-10 in a slug fest at the municipal ballpark, and Murray Brothers lore apart Lclco. 10-0. In the first slugfe-t, action came in all innings for the Roof ers, but Oregon Equipment's big frame was the fifth In which the losers gained seven runs. All of the Oregon Equipment runs in that fifth frame which was a scorer's nightmare, were caused by seemingly unending Roofer errors, Bub Shoemaker led the hitting parade for the Oregon Equipment nine, going three for four times at bat. Mute r asset and Stove Bergseng led the Roof ers with three for three and three for four records, respectively. In the other one at Harmon Field. Murray Brothers got roll ing in the first frame with five runs. The squad followed with another tally in the tliird, two more in the fourth, and four more in the final, fifth inning.
