He is standing over home plate |vidual 'honors aren't uppermost! By THE CANADIAN PRESS After five years of exile, Rocky Colavito is back in a Cleveland uniform again and the slugging outfielder couldn't be happier. "T lie the people in Kansas) City--they were good to me," he said when the Athletics dealt) him to the Indians last winter. "But I'm glad to be home." He staged one of his frequent homecoming celebrations Fri- day night when he drove in five runs with a homer, double and single to lead the American League leaders to an 8-0 con- quest of Baltimore Orioles. That left Colavito leading the league in homers with 19, sec- ond in runs batted in with 57 and ainth in the batting race with a .299 average. But indi- in his mind. "My greatest ambition al- ways has been to be on a pen- nant-winning ball club," he said. "And we have a club that is starting to make its bid."

"They could) ave blamed the whole thing on| me." The way Stuart has been han- dling himself lately, the Phillies won't be able to blame anything on him this season. Stuart hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning Friday night, boosting the Phillies to a 4-3.tri- umph over Cincinnati Reds. It's not his hitting, however, that has the Phillies talking. As manager Gene Mauch said after Philadeiphia's sixth | straight victory: "The things he} reputedly cannot do, he's doing la heck of a lot better." | The big first baseman, object| of such labels as Dr. Strange-| glove and Stonefingers because jof his notorious fielding, sud- |denly has developed into a com- petent fielder. Until he booted a grounder against Milwaukee Braves Thursday night, Stuart had gone through 24 games without committing an error. He made another Friday, but that, too, had no effect on the scoring.

The 24-year-old Detroit young- ster was a promising junior with Hamilton Red Wings be- fore he abandoned the game in favor of a career as a pitcher with Milwaukee Braves. But be- fore he got to the big leagues, he was traded to New York Mets. About a month ago, the lowly Mets shipped him to Buffalo Bi- sons--a move that cynical base- ball fans might describe as a promotion, except that the Bi- sons had just as solid a claim) to last place in, the International) League. Ribant absorbed his sixth straight defeat without a_vic- tory Friday night when Roch- ester Red Wings scored eight runs in the last two innings to thump the Bisons 10-4.

Three Atlanta errors helped Toledo to its seventh victory over the Crackers in nine meet- ings as Jack Curtis pushed his record to 4-1.

United Fur Brokers of New York' told the wildlife service "to discourage anyone in Can- ada to raise nutria for fur pur- poses.
