Unknowns challenge Palmer HARRISON, N.Y. (UPIi Lee Trevino is gone and Jack Nicklaus is ailing, so it's up to Arnold Palmer to carry on the prestige of the 1250,000 Westchester Classic. No unknown player has ever won the world's richest tournament, dating back to its beginning in 1967, but entering today's third round there are four unheralded players who are challenging Palmer for the top spot. Their names are more like those of a prominent Park Ave. law firm, but Bob E.
Smith, Gibby Gilbert, Larry Wood and Bob Stone have each put together two solid rounds over the par 72 Westchester Country Club course to move into serious contention for the $50,000 top prize. Smith, a 28-year-old from Sacramento, who has never finished higher than fifth in a tournament, posted his second consecutive 68 Friday move into second place with a 36-hole score of 136. Gilbert, Wood and Stone all were grouped at 137 after rounds of 70, 72 and 69 respectively. Palmer, the first day leader with a 64, continued his fine play as he carded a two-under par 70 that left him all alone in the No. 1 spot with a 10-under par 134.
Palmer, who is just returning to the circuit after a two-week layoff, wasn't dropping putts as often as he did Thursday but the 41-year-old master still had his game under control. Pro football camp news straight this season You've probablv heard the name ItsVida Blue Dobson has no illusions about being mentioned in that kind of company. He knows that pitching for the Orioles is the real secret of his success The guys have been playing great behind me." he said. They get me 4-5 runs and I hold the opposition to 2-3 I'm just lucky nobody has pitched a shutout against me The guys are picking me up defensively and making all the plays behind me." StaUl. Dobson was 3-4 with thisVKame Oriole team behind him until June 12th so his pitching must be somewhat better He says.
"I'm making better pitches in the strike zone itself. Another reason I'm pitching better is that it took me a while to get used to the hot weather and humidity in Baltimore. I feel stronger on the road where it isn't that hot The Orioles "big four now has won exactly 50 games The rest of the pitchers have won 10. CueHaY 'te' lWatitf Dave McNally and Dobson are 13-4 Jim Palmer is 11-6. If McNally wasn't on the disabled list, the Orioles Would have a good shot at becoming the first team in 51 years to have four 20-game winners.
Despite their success, the Orioles still can't shake the pesky Boston Red Sox. They built up a 6-0 lead and held on for an 8-0 victory over Minnesota. The Red Sox are only 3 1 2 back and might make it a race yet. In the other AL games, Oakland edged Detroit 9-7, New York topped Milwaukee 6-2, Kansas City nipped Cleveland 6-4 and the Washington Chicago game was rained out. Reggie Smith's three-run homer and George Scott's two-run homer highlighted a six-run third inning but the Red Sox still just managed to edge Minnesota and hand Ray Culp his 12th victory.
Bobby Murcer collected three straight singles and drove in two runs as New York topped Milwaukee. Murcer ran his two-game streak of successive hits to six straight before reliever Johnny Morris struck him out in the seventh. Sal Bando hit two homers and winning pitcher Jim Hunter drove in four runs with a homer, two singles and a grounder to pace Oakland past Detroit. Hunter's hitting was better than his pitching because he was lifted after giving up six runs in 6 1-3 innings but he got credit for his 12th victory. A wo-run single by Cookie Rojas capped a four-run fifth inning and lifted Kansas City past Cleveland.
Amos Otis collected three hits including his 15th homer to boost his average for the Royals to .332.

The operation, a bicep-tendon transplant, will idle Starr for at least three months and could spell the end of the 37-year-old quarterback's career. Starr's arm injuries have caused him to sit out much of the last three seasons.
He had been reported as improving steadily but experienced the same pains Monday when he attempted to throw. Dan Devine, the Packers' new coach, did hold out some hope for Starr's recovery. "I feel that Bart will play," said Devine, "though maybe not as soon as what I had hoped "This is only one of the many crucial situations we will face throughout 'the year. We have to close our ranks, suck in our guts and go to work."
