Stargell's Homer Lifts Pirates Past Phillies 6 5

Willie Stargell hit two long homers including a go ahead shot in the eighth to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Philadelphia Phillies 6 5. Roberto Clemente drew jeers after a slow start as fans cheered Stargell’s power. Al Oliver scored on a sequence aided by an error and Parett’s double for the winning run.

Masters Champ Counts Strokes Not Money

Milton Richman reports from Augusta that George Archer, the Masters champion, deflects cowboy labels as he focuses on golf. Archer finished par 72 for 281, earning $20,000, while rivals Tom Weiskopf Billy Casper George Knudson and Charlie Coody chased him. Archer, a California cattle rancher, insists the nickname reflects his work ethic, not filth. He heads to Rancho La Costa after the victory.
