BALTIMORE Last season Jim Palmer
became just the second Orioles pitcher to lead,
or tie for the major league lead, in shutouts.
Apparently hes intent on becoming the third
as well.
Palmer flung a two-hitter Saturday as the
Orioles subdued the Tigers, 7-0. It was his 13th
career whitewash five coming in 1970 when
he tied Oaklands Chuck Dobson and San Franciscos Gaylord Perry for the big league lead.
The only other Os pitcher to gain such a
distinction was Steve Barber, whose eight shutouts in 1961 tied Minnesotas Camilo Pascual
for tops in the majors.
Palmer took a no-hitter into the sixth, when
Tigers leadoff man Ed Brinkman singled with
one out. Jim Northrups two-out double in the
ninth was Detroits only other safety.
Palmer (1-0) struck out six and walked three,
outpitching loser Mickey Lolich (1-1) who
coughed up six runs in seven frames.
Baltimore leadoff man Merv Rettemund had
four hits, and Frank Robinson doubled and
belted the 476th round-tripper of his career.
White Sox 4, Twins 2
CHICAGO Tommy John fanned nine and
scattered 11 hits in a complete-game effort as
the White Sox trimmed the Twins.
Run-scoring doubles by Jay Johnstone and
Carlos May and an RBI single by Rick Reichardt gave John (1-0) a 3-1 lead after one inning.
Loser Jim Perry (1-1) allowed four runs in
eight innings. Harmon Killebrew hit his 488th
career homer, a solo shot, for Minnesota. The
Twins have scored nine runs in three games
since their 20-run outburst on opening day.
As 8, Royals 5
OAKLAND Dick Greens three-run
home run capped a six-run first-inning rally
and Diego Segui took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before faltering as the As beat the
Royals for their fourth straight triumph.
Reggie Jackson tripled and homered for
Oakland.
Segui (1-0) retired the first 16 batters he faced.
Ed Kirkpatrick broke up the no-hitter with a twoout single in the seventh. The Royals chased Segui with a five-run rally in the eighth. Oaklands
Bob Locker got the final four outs for the save.
Kansas City starter Bruce Dal Canton (0-1)
lasted just 1 2/3 innings, allowing six runs.
Yankees 5, Senators 2
WASHINGTON D.C. Mel Stottlemyre (10) allowed two runs in eight innings and Thurman Munsons three hits included a tie-breaking
two-run single as the Yankees beat the Senators.
Frank Howard had three hits and his sixth RBI
for the Nats. Washington starter Jim Shellenback
(0-1) yielded four runs in five innings.
Indians 13, Red Sox 4
CLEVELAND Larry Brown tagged his first
career grand slam and had a career-high five RBI
as the Indians shellacked the Red Sox.
The Sox scored four times in the first inning,
only to be outscored 13-0 thereafter. Tribe catcher Ray Fosse had four hits, including a homer.
Brewers 3, Angels 2
MILWAUKEE Andy Kosco snapped a 1-1
tie with a two-run home run in the bottom off the
sixth inning as the Brewers downed the Angels.
Skip Lockwood (1-0) earned the win for the
Brewers, who outhit the Halos 10-5. Ken Sanders
picked up his second save for the Suds.
New Angel Tony Conigliaro went 0-for-4 and
is hitting .077.
HOUSTON On April 22, 1934, John Dillinger escaped almost certain capture by shooting
his way through federal agents in St. Paul, Minn.
General Electric was rolling out its first fleet of
refrigerators. And Cubs pitcher Lon Warneke
tossed his second consecutive one-hitter to start
the season, giving his team a 5-0 record.
Saturday night, Ferguson Jenkins beat the Astros 6-1 on a five-hitter, giving the Cubs their
first 5-0 record since Dillinger was public enemy
No. 1.
The fast start carries no guarantees the
34 Cubs finished in third place. But the matching of a 37-year-old benchmark should hearten
Cubs fans, whose team hasnt played in the
World Series since 1945.
Jenkins (2-0), the four-time 20-game winner,
struck out seven and had seven 1-2-3 innings.
He had the luxury of a big lead throughout. A
two-run single by Paul Popovich capped a four-
Wiser Chance Sticks
With Baseball, Tigers
Then in 1969, while with the divisional pennant-bound Minnesota Twins, Chances shoulder
kicked the bucket. The next year he was with the
Cleveland Indians, until the last month of the
season when he was sent to the pennant contending New York Mets. That was last summer, and
this spring he found his way back to Billy Martin
on the pitching-poor Tigers. Today he makes his
first start of the year against Baltimore.
Though he has bounced around a lot lately,
Chance is philosophical about being traded.
Theres always a reason for a trade. Cleveland
needed money, he said, and I was sold to the
Mets for $150,000. I went and had a good spring,
but the Mets have a lot of pitching and I guess
they felt they could get more for me than anyone
else.
Chance has played both for contending clubs
and sorry also-rans, and, as he yawned and
rubbed the sleep out of his eyes in the brisk midmorning air, he recalled what its like on a loser.
Its tough. You know you have to perform perfectly because youre not going to get much help.
We lost by one game in 67 (when the Red
Sox beat out the Twins, Tigers and White Sox in
a free-for-all) and that was tough, too. As far as
Im concerned the worst team won. But I never
played on a pennant-winner.
He paused then, reflecting, as if trying to concentrate over the fatigue. What am I saying? he
said. In 69 we won the division with Billy.
Chance, who still looks like the awe-struck
Rube he was when he became famous as the starry-eyed playboy companion of Belinsky on the
Los Angeles Angels, claims his reputation is
undeserved. People forget that that was my
roommate, Belinsky.
But he doesnt seem to care too much what
people think of him. It dont matter what you do
off the field. What your future is depends on
what you do on the mound.
Around Baseball
By RICK CORNFELD
Michigan Daily
Fun-loving Dean Chance plays baseball because its fun. He also plays because he makes
a lot of money. But the most interesting reason
he has for playing baseball is to get an education.
Youre going to college to get an education, he said at the Tiger press day early one
morning last week, but you also get a tremendous education in baseball. There are tremendous opportunities.
Those who remember Chance as a reported
swinging playboy might snicker at that remark,
but Bo Belinskys old pal added, There are
occupational opportunities. What will I do after
my career is over? Me, I dont know yet. Even
if I could make twice as much money doing
something out of baseball, I would still play
baseball as long as I could.
Chance, the former boy wonder of the American League, is now 29, not the age to be
washed up, but he has a shoulder that just
doesnt work the way it used to. At the age of
23, he put together one of the greatest years of
any pitcher of the past decade, with a record of
20-9, an earned run average of 1.65 and 11
shutouts. For those marks he was given the Cy
Young Award, which in those days was bestowed on the best pitcher in all of baseball, not
just one league.
Chance never had another year quite so
great, but even still, by the time he was 27, he
had thrown 32 shutouts. By contrast, Hall of
Famer Bob Feller, voted the best right-hander
ever, only threw 44, and he pitched for 18
years.

Paige Returns to Open
Royals Third Season
KANSAS CITY (AP) Satchel Paige, who
became baseballs oldest rookie in 1948 when
he was 42, will be the starting pitcher Monday
night when the Kansas City Royals open their
home season against the Minnesota Twins.
Invited to toss out the first ball and kick off
the Royals third season, Paiges incredible story has never ceased to amaze fans.
In 1965, 17 years after helping pitch the
Cleveland Indians to the A.L. pennant, Paige
started a game for the Kansas City As against
the Red Sox at Municipal Stadium here. He
went through three innings allowing only one
hit a double by Carl Yastrzemski.
ST. PAUL, Minn. Tony Oliva has changed
the batting style that enabled him to become a
$100,000 ballplayer.
Oliva calls 1970 the best season he ever had
as a seven-year major league regular. The 29year-old right fielder finished with a .325 average. So what does the Cuban-born Oliva do
when he reports to camp in 1971?
He changed the stance that gave him a .311
career average best among active A.L. players. In previous years Oliva pawed a hole at the
back of the batters box and planted his left foot
firmly in it. Oliva still digs in, but his left heel is
raised about two inches off the ground.
Oliva hit .405 in spring exhibitions. Through
four regular season games he is hitting .375.
It worked for me, he said.
Twins skipper Bill Rigney doesnt mind the
new form at all.
Anything he wants to do is all right with
me, the manager beamed. When hes got a bat
in his hands he knows what hes doing with it.
run rally in the top of the first.
Astros starter Larry Dierker (1-1) allowed
six runs in 3 2/3 innings. Denis Menke drove
in the only run for Houston.
Phillies 5, Expos 2
PHILADELPHIA The winningest active
major league pitcher christened the sports
newest edifice Philadelphias Veterans Stadium leading the Phillies past the Expos.
Jim Bunning (1-0) hurled eight strong innings for his 220th career win, allowing two
runs on eight hits. Shortstop Larry Bowa
lashed a tie-breaking double in the bottom of
the eighth and later scored an insurance run.
Ron Hunt had three hits for Montreal.
Giants 5, Cardinals 3
ST. LOUIS A four-run second inning
rally and stout pitching by Frank Reberger led
the Giants to victory over the Cardinals.
The Giants lined three doubles in the second. Right fielder Jose Cardenals error rendered three of the four runs unearned.
Reberger (1-0) allowed two runs on four
hits in seven innings. Jerry Reuss (0-1), who
was touched for four runs in six innings, was
the loser.
Pirates 12, Braves 7
ATLANTA Bob Robertson doubled and
hit his second home run as the Pirates routed
the Braves.
Al Oliver had two doubles in support of
Pittsburgh starter Steve Blass (1-0), who won
despite allowing six runs in 5 2/3 innings.
Atlanta catcher Hal King hit his third homer
in two games and drove in three runs to give
him a major-league leading eight RBI.
Dodgers 7, Padres 1
LOS ANGELES Claude Osteen hurled a
six-hitter with seven strikeouts, and Richie
Allen drove in his first three runs for his new
team as the Dodgers tamed the Padres.
Osteen (1-0) held the Pads scoreless after
Dave Campbells home run to lead off the
game. Dave Roberts (0-1) was the loser.
Mets 4, Reds 2
NEW YORK Jerry Koosman threw eight
masterful innings and Art Shamsky tagged a
two-run homer as the Mets trimmed the Reds.
Koosman (1-0) held the Reds to two runs in
eight innings. Tug McGraw lodged the save.
Cincy starter Gary Nolan allowed four runs
in six innings and fell to 0-2.
