I'll tell you why" Wills says "There's this togetherness we have the intangibles like everyone pulling for one another and someone always picking someone else up There are other things also" Like what? "In times like this things can be magnified I'm talking about little things not only errors or mental mistakes That isn't the way with us though Our players go the other way For example if one of our players makes a great play behind the pitcher the pitcher actually comes over and thanks him It has happened to me The pitcher thanked me I told him not to worry about it I owed it to him" Couldn't the Giants be doing the same thing? "Maybe they are" Wills concedes "We have the momentum though I feel the Giants are a little tight I think they're looking over their shoulder" Back in the days when the Giants were operating in New York and the Dodgers across the bridge in Brooklyn the rivalry between them was more intense than it is now Both clubs had their adrenalin up a little during an on-the-field confrontation by all hands which followed a disagreement between Juan Marichal and Bill Buckner in their last series and an off-the-field declaration by Bobby Bonds over the radio that the Dodgers would never catch the Giants "I'm not saying Bonds was wrong to say what he did" Wills says "He feels the Giants will win and I admire him for saying what he did After all I'm saying the Dodgers are gonna win now But what Bonds said was just something you normally remember the same way I remember Alvin Dark saying Jose Pagan was the best shortstop in the league in 1962 Dark was managing the Giants then and I wasn't angry about him saying that because Pagan was his shortstop a'nd I knew Dark was trying to motivate him I knew Dark realized what he was saying but I didn't think he really believed it" Maury Wills is putting in his 13th season in the majors He'll be 39 Saturday the day the playoffs are due to start but if he lives to be 109 he'll never forget the year 1962 That was the season he did everything Or nearly everything He played in 165 games for the Dodgers broke Ty Cobb's all-time record by stealing 104 bases played in both all-star games batted 299 and wound up being named MVP as well as the Professional Athlete of the Year Jose Pagan on the other hand was in 164 games for the Giants that year stole only 13 bases and batted 250 When I asked him how he feels now nine years later about Alvin Dark having called him the best shortstop in the league in 1962 Pagan who is with the Pirates came right back with an immediate answer "I led all the shortstops on defense that year" he said Which only goes to show you things look differently to everybody Bobby Bonds Maury Wills and Jose Pagan One sidelight about that 1962 season The NL shortstop in the World Series that year was a fellow named Jose Pagan He didn't do too bad a job either Unless you consider a 368 batting average a bad job 5 NetOost rts 8-2 Roger Murray editor Monday September 27 1971 Harris takes Robinson for first

fate and determination have a lot to do with winning golf tournaments The victory Sunday on the eve of his 30th birthday was the first for the 6-foot-I 200-pound native of Stillwater Okla since he joined the PGA tour in 1964 "I think there is a certain amount of fate involved if you are going to win golf tournaments" said Harris the "sudden death" winner over Bert Yancey on the third round of a playoff "I was more aggressive in the playoff" The win paid Harris $20000 while Yancey collected $11400 for second place A 5-foot birdie putt on the third hole of the playoff the second in as many years at Robinson meant victory for Harris who has his Master's degree in mathematics from Oklahoma State "Adding and subtracting golf scorecards isn't very high math" the winner said with a smile Harris had rounds of 68-70-69- 67 in regulation play while Yancey was 70-7017-67 Winding up in a three-way tie for third with 276s were Gay Brewer Larry Hinson and Jim Colbert the go-leader with Dwight Nevil after the second round Each collected $5300 Tied for sixth and with paychecks of $3250 each were Chuck Courtney JC Sneed and Jim Jamieson the leader after the third round In a three-way tie for ninth with 278s were Lou Graham Jacky Kupit and Bob Dickson Each earned $2500 ROBINS ON PI III Labron Harris winner in the $100000 1971 Robinson Open Golf Classic believes fate and determination have a lot to do with winning golf tournaments Manager Lefty Phillips who rumors have it may not be invited back to manage the Angels next season "It was especially tough" Phillips added "because of the way we battled back "But" the manager intoned dejectedly "it's been like that all season long" Picked by many experts to win the pennant in the American League West before the season began the Angels will now be lucky to finish third and will have to battle to hold fourth position By winning the Sox clinched at least a tie for third moving three games in front of California with three to play The Angels meanwhile are only one-half game ahead of Minnesota ANAHEINI (AP)--The longest season is over in Anaheim It ended Sunday much as it began last April with a frustrating loss The Chicago White Sox scored the winning run on a two-out passed ball in the 10th inning to send the Angels down to a 6-5 defeat their 29th one-run loss in what has been a year of agony and futility internal dissent and shattered emotions It was the final home game of the season for California and they were a disappointing 35-46 in their own park They conclude the season with three games at Minnesota beginning Tuesday where Andy Messer-smith will try for his 20th win "It was one of those games you hated to lose" summarized (Giants) going to do I'll tell you what we gotta do but nobody knows" Alston said "There's no great decisions to make now I just hope we stay hot" While the Dodgers prepare for the Houston series beginning Tuesday San Francisco will head for San Diego where they close with a three-game set against the Padres The Dodgers have now won 15 of their last 22 games in their drive to reach first place in the NL West for the first time since Aug 23 1969 Sunday's victory came on the home run power of Richie Allen and Duke Sims and the timely ATLANTA (AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers refusing to buckle under San Francisco's once imposing National League West Lead returned home today for a season-ending series with the Houston Astros and hopes of completing a miracle finish with a division title "I'd like to win three more and take our chances" said Manager Walt Alston Sunday after his Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves 5-2 and remained one game behind the Giants who less than a month ago held an 812-game bulge "If you tell me what they're relief pitching of 48-year-old Hoyt Wilhelm released by the Braves earlier this year "I don't have any hard feeling against anybody with the Braves" said Wilhelm "I just didn't feel they

that was a major factor in his win leaving him fresher had been a number of questionable line calls "We decided to walk off the court when Mr Colman refused to remove the linesman" Miss Casa Is said "I asked Mr Colman how many bad calls a player had to get before a linesman was removed" The match went into the books as a double fault and prevented the women from getting their prize money First place was worth $4000 and second $2500 Jack Kramer the official referee had put Colman in charge because he was calling the game on television "I will request the Southern Casa Is was inside the court Mrs King stormed off the court and refused to continue unless Miss Charnel was removed as a linesman Acting referee John Colman was quoted as saying he couldn't remove Miss Chamei because it would embarrass the official Miss Casa Is joined in the request "There had been seven or eight bad calls by this linesman" Mrs King said "After a while Mr Colman said he would remove her I went back to play Then Rosemary called me over and told me that Mr Colman had changed his mind" Miss Casa Is agreed that there California Lawn Tennis Association to suspend their prize money" Kramer said "and give them the most severe punishment possible They should grow up They're professionals" For Gonzales it was his third Pacific Southwest championship He also won in 1949 and 1969 The win brought the 43- year-old veteran $10000 in prize money Connors an amateur who as a freshman at UCLA last year won the NCAA singles championship received no cash prize but the tournament committee announced it would underwrite his trip to the US and British National championships next year Connors had an easy time defeating Gonzales in the first set breaking the veteran's serves in the second sixth and eighth games Gonzales growing stronger as the match progressed broke Connors' service in the third fifth and ninth games of the second set and then easily won the third set clinching the match with a love service score in the ninth game "I lobbed Jim a lot to take the steam out of him" Gonzales said "That seemed to tire him sooner than I thought it would" Connors had gone through a strenuous three-set match Sa LOS ANGELES (UPI) America's two top women players face possible disciplinary action today after walking off the court during their final match of the $73000 Pacific Southwest Open tennis championships Sunday The action of Mrs Billie Jean King and Rosemary Casa Is caused a furore that overshadowed Pancho Gonzales' 2-6 6- 3 6-3 victory over 19-year-old Jimmy Connors in the men's finals
