Newspaper Page TextMets Almost Win One, But j Lose on Ninth Inning Homer By TIM MORIARTY Tracy Stallard will always be remembered as the pitcher who served home run No. 61 to Roger Maris in 1961. The 6 - foot - 7 Virginian, though, may find it harder to forget the gopher ball he tossed to Lee Maye of the Mil waukee Braves Monday. Stallard was only one strike away from nailing down the New York Mets' first victory of the year when Maye lined a two - run homer over the right field fence at Milwaukee to give the Braves a 4-3 tri umph in Monday's only major league game. It was the sixth straight de feat for the Mets, who didn't gain their first victory last season until their 10th game. Stallard was so stunned that Raiders Invoke Weatherman's Aid For This Week Ashland - "If (he weather would only cooperate," was the comment of Coach Ted Schopf of Southern Oregon college when asked about the baseball games the Raiders are scheduled to play this week end. SOC's diamond men are scheduled for a series of four games Wednesday and Thurs day of this week. The South ern Oregon men are sched uled to travel to Chico, Calif., Wednesday to meet the Chico State Wildcats in a double header at 1 p.m. The Raiders will return to their home diamond Thursday for a double-header with Shas ta college. The Shasta game is a holdover from spring vaca tion when it was rained out. Shasta will take the field at 1 p.m. After having three straight postponements the SOC men tor lias good reason to com plain about the weather. The Raiders were scheduled to open their conference play April 9th against Oregon Technical Institute, but were ! forced to step the game down , to the 23rd. Once again last week end the Ashland men tried to start their conference play with three encounters against Ore gon College of Education at Monmouth, but had to change the date on account of poor weather.

The former r;ed Sox right hander deserved a better fate. He had relieved starter Al Jackson in the seventh and was set up for the win when rookie Ed Kranepool scored on a sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth to give the Mets 8 3-2 lead. Stallard fanned two in the eighth and fired called third j strikes past dangerous Eddie MathewS and Joe Torre in the ; ninth. Pinch swinger Mack : Jones then collected the first hit off the lanky reliever, a single to center. That set the stage for Maye's winning blast. was changed to May 10-11. Saturday the Raiders con ducted an intrasquad game on the Southern Oregon dia mond. Despite the extreme weather conditions the Raid- ; ers have gone on with their i regular practice and as Schopf pointed out, 'The men are looking very good and we hope to see some outstanding competition in Chico." Coach Schopf went on to say that no major adjustment in the starting lineups had been made. Dave Hughes will be on the mound in the open er and will move to the out field as Larry Carr takes over against Shasta.

State keglers will be shoot inging for a total of 300 berths in the $7,500 City of Roses Open Pro - Amateur tourna ment scheduled for 20th Cen tury Lanes in Portland on Sept. 19. Prize-fund-wise and entry-list-wise this pro-am is the biggest of all but tournament sponsors are hoping that the record of 8,000 qualifying en tries in the PBA pro-am, set in Oklahoma City earlier this year, will also be topped by the September 10 qualifying deadline. On Sept. 19. the 300 bowl ers who qualify for the pro am will be paired with the PBA stars, such as Don Car ter and Dick Weber, in a dou bles competition for the prize loot. During the qualifying and in the pro-am itself all local bowlers will use a handicap i of 100 per cent of 200, with no pin limit, which makes this affair quite attractive for j the average kegler. The pro fessionals will win none of the 57,500 prize money in the pro-amateur. All the dough j will be taken home by Oregon amateur bowlers.

However, he made it too good and as Maye trotted the bases, Stallard trudged off the field, as though in shock.

Havlicek, the third ranking Celtic in terms of minutes played during the regular season, suffered a severe left ankle sprain when he dove off the court after a loose ball in the second period of the opener. Last word on Havlicek was that he would definitely miss one game, probably miss two, and possibly three. That he will return at all, however, is a boost to Celtics chances against the challenging Lak ers. Boston Coach Red Auer bach was revamping his de fenses to include more atten tion for Laker Dick Barnett who again joined regular point pacers Elgin Baylor and Jerry West in giving Boston fits. Without Havlicek, how ever, Auerbach's job was ex tremely difficult. Statistics Top Scorer Blevtiu (GPi VI 22 27 Davis (GPt Reese. D (GP Stevens (GPi !)3 24 Team Pts. ror Pts, Af.
