Cubs Rout Phillies as Holtzman Returns and Jenkins Wins
Chicago pitcher Ken Holtzman excelled in the first game after a long layoff, delivering 13 innings for a 6-2 win over Philadelphia before Ferguson Jenkins closed the night with a 1-0 victory. Santo hit a key homer as Stoneman finished the final frames. In other NL games, New York swept Pittsburgh, Cincinnati blanked Los Angeles, St Louis beat San Francisco, and Atlanta toppled Houston. AL results featured Minnesota over Chicago, Detroit over Baltimore, New York over Cleveland, California over Boston, and Washington beating Kansas City. Holtzman, out of army duty, said he felt like a rookie but adapted quickly as the Mets rode Seaver’s four-hitter to a shutout victory.

Ryun Shatters British Hope In Mile Of The Century
American Jim Ryun dominated the Mile of the Century at White City, clocking 3 56.0 to beat Kip Keino by 1.4 seconds and Britain’s Alan Simpson, while the U S walloped Britain 139 84. Ryun called the mile his last of the season as he left for Dusseldorf for a two day meet against West Germany and later Italy and Spain. British writers urged reforms after a poor showing amid calls for national pride and coaching changes. Roger Bannister, watching the finish, lamented the effort and pace.
