Or perhaps a suit of armor for catcher Joe Torre would have been morf appropriate. Torre was the unfortunate fellow on the receiving end of Niekro's fluttering floater Thursday night. The Atlanta catcher was charged with two passed balls in a nightmarish ninth inning as St. Louis Car- dinals rallied for a pair of runs and then went on to defeat the Braves 5-4 in 10 innings. The ninth inning was just as bleak for Leo Durocher's Chi- cago Cubs, who saw a two-run lead evaporate into a 7-6 Cincin- nati victory. In other National League games, Houston Astros dropped New York Mets 4-1, San Francisco Giants pounded Pittsburgh Pirates 7-1 and Phil- adelphia Phillies defeated Los |Angeles Dodgers 6-1.

Whether that happy situation will continue once Epstein en- ters the lineup is problematical.

In the interim, the Senators have won a double- header from Kansas City Ath- letics and two games from California. RETURNS TO FORM In Thursday's game, Camilo Pascual suddenly returned to the winning form that has been eluding him for the last few years, limiting the Angels to four hits in the tight game. The curveballing right-hander acattered three singles and gave up a double to Jose Car- Senators' Winning Ways Stretched To Four Games moved to third on Jay John- stone's fly to centre but was out attempting to steal home. The lone run of the game came in the third inning when Ed Brinkman singled, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Pascual and scored on Bob Saverine's single to left. Dean Chance came up with another brilliant pitching per- formance, allowing the Red Sox just five hits and winning his ninth game of the_ season against only two defeats. CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY Celebrating his 26th birthday, Chance struck out 10 and al- lowed only one Boston runner as far as third base. Home runs by Bob Allison, his sixth, and Russ Nixon, his first, gave Chance all the runs he needed. Another pitcher, John O'Dono- ghue, provided the difference in the Detroit-Cleveland tussle, but he did it with his bat as much as with his arm, O'Donoghue's grand - slam homer was the big blow in a six-run sixth inning for the In- dians, who knocked the Tigers out of first place. The Cleveland left-hander al- lowed just two hits until the eighth when he was replaced by Orlando Pena after Mickey Stanley belted a homer for the Tigers.

Exit Lemaster, enter Niekro, Dick Hughes ran for Romano and moved to third as Niekro served a wild pitch. Lou Brock's sacrifice fly brought Hughes home. Then Julian Javier walked and two of Niekro's knucklers fluttered their way past Torre, moving Javier to third. Curt Flood's Single scored Javier with the ty- ing run. Niekro was gone in the 10th when Phil Gagliano singled and raced home on Bobby Tolan's two-out triple for the game-win- ner. HAD 2-RUN LEAD The Cubs suffered through a similar ninth inning against the Reds. Cal Koonce was protect- ing a 6-4 lead built mostly on five runs batted in by Billy Wil- liams, who socked a pair of home runs. Koonce struck out the first two batters in the bottom of the ninth, but Floyd Robinson beat out an infield hit. Vada Pinson's triple brought Robinson home, and moments later Pinson scored the tying run on a wild pitch. Then Pete Rose walked and was safe at second on an at- tempted force play when Glenn Beckert dropped the throw for his third error of the game. Deron Johnson, who had sin- gled home two runs in the eighth, walked, load'»g¢ the bases and Tommy He rilled a single, scoring Rose h the winner. FIRES 3-HITTER Mike Cuellar fired a three- hitter as the Astros handed the struggling Mets their fifth straight loss. Cuellar, who struck out nine, also drove in a run with a double. Rookie Norm Miller stroked three hits, scored one run and drove in another for the Astros. Gaylord Perry pitched six no- hit innings against the Pirates and finished with a two-hitter as the Giants moved past Pitts- burgh into third place. Rich Allen drove in four runs for the Phillies--three of them on a sixth inning home run-- against the Dodgers. Larry Jackson scattered eight hits and had the Dodgers shut out until the ninth when Los An- points. By CLIFF GORDON Brooklin Redmen will be go- ing all-out on Saturday to whip Peterborough Don Bye Diggers in a Senior 'A' lacrosse tilt scheduled for the Brooklin Arena at 8.30 p.m. There has always been a more than passing rivalry be- tween these clubs over the last five years. One of the main rea- sons is the fact that so many of the Peterborough team have played with Brooklin in the sea- sons gone by. Just to mention a few of the stalwarts with the Liftlock City team who carried the colors of Brooklin one would have to in- elude Pat Baker, Bill Armour, Roy Wood, Ken Ruttan, Bob Stickle, Hank Stephens, Joe Yodd, Larry Ferguson, Cy Coombes, Bobby Allan and some others that have slipped our memory. Peterborough 'Diggers' In Brooklin Saturday The Brooklin club has long been a hub of lacrosse in the intermediate and now senior ranks and has felt the brunt of having to supply a city the size of Peterborough with some of its top talent. Many of these players were unproved senior players when they came to Brooklin and this includes fellows like Pat Baker, Ken Ruttan, Joe Todd and Billy Armour, who Brooklin acquired for one season and found the true value of this whiz kid. Then there is always the Davis Brothers' rivalry. John- ny, the scoring champ of last year and winner of the Mike EXPORT PLAIN Or FILTER Tir CIGARETTES _ REGULAR and KINGS . Kelly Trophy, in the Mann Cup finals, is a former Oshawa Green Gael. Many people feel that he is one of the greatest Players to come along since Jack Gionda. Brooklin has the older broth- er, Terry, who has won more than one scoring title and that includes titles in the powerful Western league. He is a fine competitor, as is his younger brother. However, one can see from watching them on the floor, in opposing sweaters, that there is no brotherly love while the chips are on the table. Manager - Coach Fred Whal- ley, while somewhat upset at his team's lack-lustre approach to last Saturday night's game, feels that the workout that his fellows will get tonight in Brampton, will have them up and chomping at the bit, ready to "really dig" the Don Bye 'boy and Dave Hardy and with game. for Town and Country with a hit and scored later on Dan- ford's sacrifice fly.

RATED 8-TO-1 Pointed toward the Queen's Plate, Canada's premier thor- oughbred race, June 24, Cool Reception is rated with Reason To Hail at 8-to-1 behind Damas- cus, 6-to-5, and Proud Clarion, 5-to-2.

A victory by any of the others --Gentleman James, Blasting Charge, Gaylord's Feather, Ne- hoc's Bullet and Favorable Turn--would be even more of an upset than when Proud Clar- ion took the Kentucky Derby at odds of 30-1.
