ever their aspirations were not

Allen's Fast Start DrawingRecord Numbers In Chicago

CHICAGO - Themighty swing of Dick Allen'sbat, along with a hot homesurge, may be fanning the Chi-cago White Sox into their firstclimb over the one-million at-tendance mark since 1965.

Hie sixth largest paid crowdin Chicago baseball history, 51,-904, Sunday watched the WhiteSox trim the New York Yan-kees 6-1, 5-4 with Allen's dra-matic, ninth-inning, three-runpinch homer winning the night-cap.

That boosted the White Sox'home record to 19-3 and theirhome attendance for 20 dates to331,948, compared with 195,486for the same period last year.

The lure of "bat day," caus-ing more than 8,000 fans to beturned away at the gates, un-doubtedly was a major factor inthe biggest turnout since 54,067attended a Yankee-White Soxnight game July 27, 1954.

But the fact that Allen has

pumped new life into the WhiteSox hasn't hurt the turnstilespin, either.

Allen, American League lead-er in runs batted in with 37, hasbaffled, intrigued and nowawed the White Sox since hesigned for a reported $135,000last April 1.

The former troubled star ofthe Philadelphia Phils, St.Louis Cardinals and Los Ange-les Dodgers missed the entirespring training period. Hecame to terms just as the play-er strike derailed the start ofthe 1972 season.

But since then, everything Al-len has done for the White Soxhas been with class and clout.He has been charming with thenews media and is the clubleader for the surprising teamwhich is second in the Ameri-can League West with a 25-17record.

Until Sunday's second game,Allen had played every inningof the team's first 41 games.

Then, Chicago Manager ChuckTanner elected to rest him.

When Allen's name failed toappear in the second gamestarting lineup, Chicago ownerJohn Allyn alarmingly askedwhy.

Tanner replied, "I'm just go-ing to rest him. I'll use himwhen we get the bases loaded.He'll hit a homer and win it forus.

The bases weren't exactlyloaded?Bill Melton had walkedand Mike Andrews singled?-when Tanner sent Allen in topinch-hit for Rich Morales. In arare pinch-hitter role, Allenblasted a 1-1 pitch by SparkyLyle for his game-winninghomer.

OAKLAND, CALIF: OaklandAthletics pitcher Vida Blueshows his form as. he windsup (L) and delivers, during his

first start here 5/28 againstthe Chicago White Sox. Blue

handed the Sox their 3rdstraight loss, 5-4, as he pitched

one hit ball over the first 5

innings in his 1972 starting

debut.

Vida Blue, EarTabbed For Stardom

NEW YORK - Vida Blue

and Earl Williams will be the

superstars of the seventies,according to a poll of eleven

of today's top baseball starspublished in the current issue

of Sport Magazine.The veteran stars asked to

make their predictions forSport were: Hank Aaron, Lot)Brock, Jim Bunning, FergusonJenkins, Frank Howard, NateColbert, A 1 Kaline, FrankSanto, Joe Torre, Mel Stot-tlemyre and Carl Yastrzemski.

Blue who won 24 gamesfor Oakland in his first full

season and was only the fifthpitcher to be named MostValuable Player in the

American League, was an al-

most unanimous choice of

the panel. Stottlemyre wasmost impressed by his abilityto get the good hitters outand pitch a great many Jow-

hit games, including a no-hitter.

said in explaining why he

selected the Braves' catcherover teammate Ralph Garr, "Iwould start with Earl Wil-liams."

"First because he's a

catcher, which is usually thelast position you find a super-star playing. And though Idon't think Earl will ever hit.350 because he's not fastenough, I expect him to hit

35 or 40 home runs forseven or eight years."

Reigning National Leaguebatting champion Joe Torreechoed Aaron's views about

Williams' future. Torre thinksthat Williams still has troublehitting some pitches and thathis catching needs polishing,but admires the youngster'sinclination to work hard at

improving.Following closely behind

Blue and Williams in theballoting were Cincinnati's fire-balling pitcher Don Gullet,Oakland A's slugger ReggieJackson and Garr the Braves'speedster.

Other named as possibili-ties or dark-horse candidateswere Amos Otis of KansasCity, Bill Melton of the Chica-go White Sox, Lee Richard,of the White Sox and BillRussell of the Los AngelesDodgers.

Johnny Bench, the greatall-around catcher for theCincinnati Reds, was con -

sidered by the panel to have

already arrived as a superstar

although he has only a fewseasons under his belt.

Yastrzemski, impressed byVida's knowledge of the gameand good control, thinks thelefthander will be a consistentwinner for many years tocome. Kaline and Jenkins arereserving judgement on Blueuntil he "faces the pressure ofliving up to last year's per-

formance."Williams, the Atlanta slug-

ger who hit 33 home runsand had 87 RBl's in his

rookie year, was not far be-
