Hall made a total of 26 safes last night, his best coming in the third period on Bill Sutherland while Barclay Plager of the Blues was serving a tripping penalty.

If that's the truth, I hope the Blues go all the way, because Hall was great In this series, "It would be a real tribute to him if St. Louis went all the way to the Stanley Cup final." Hall didn't have as much work last night as he had Tuesday in the Blues' heartbreaking 2-1 double-overtime loss.

Harvey had been player -coach of the KC Blues. "I think he did an awful lot for this team," Bowman said after last night's contest. "At a team meeting In the morning, Harvey wrote some-thing In Italian on a blackboard. When I entered the room, he asked me, 'Is that what you want tonight, Scotty?" He translated It, 'It's easy If you Bowman said that is what the Blues did. "They worked hard on defense and got the puck up the ice," Scotty said.

"Harvey steadied (hem, They respect He's coached a number of them. And did you see who had an assist on the winning goal?"

The Blues won, 3-1, and took the West Division semifinal series, four games to three.

They will open (heir divisional final series a 1 1 the Minnesota North Stars at noon Sunday In the St. Louis Arena. The second game will be Tuesday night at The Arena. The other dates remain In doubt because Minneapolis has an Ice show tying up the North Stars' rink. An Arena spokesman said there was a possibility the first four games of the best-of-seven scries would be played here.

Sunday's game will be televised nationally but will be blacked out locally. Season ticket holders have until 9 a.m. Monday to pick up their remaining tickets for the playoffs. They already have their tickets for Sunday's opening game. Doug Harvey, a 43-year-old defenseman, and 36-y a -o I goalie Glenn Hall were instrumental in the Blues' victory last nlfht.

NL to Expand If New Cities in 1 969 Get OKs CHICAGO, April 19 (UPI)-The National League voted today to expand to 12 baseball teams in 1969, provided it can agree unanimously on the two new cities to be awarded membership. League president Warren Giles announced the decision after a two-hour session of club owners.

The league approved unanimously the recommendations of the expansion committee for guidelines covering admission to the league, including the player allocation plan, financing, stadium and facilities, stock control and a farm system. However, Giles said no details of them could meet die conditions." Giles ssld it was likely the league would divide Into two divisions once it has expanded to 12 teams, following a pattern that the American League Is expected to adopt. The National League earlier had voted to expand to 12 teams in 1971, while the American League had voted to admit Seattle and San Diego for a 12- lain 1 Aa mi. In 1QQ on these guidelines would be announced at this time. Giles said the two cities to be offered membership would bo selected in the near future and they would be informed of the requirements for membership.

He said he had no doubt that the applicants now under consideration could conform to them. Five cities Dallas-Fort Worth, Montreal, San Diego, Buffalo and Milwaukee have made presentations. Giles said that each of the five has met with the expansion committee, composed of Walter O'Malley of Los Angeles, John Galbreath of Pittsburgh and Roy Hofheinz of Houston. Giles said he expected owners to choose the two new members first, and tf one or both could not conform the guidelines, then other applications would be entertained. "We know pretty much who the owners would be in each city." he aaid.

But the Redbirds appeared to have cracked the jinx last season when they won their last five games at Crosley for a 6-3 over-all record there.

However, the Crosley gremlins are at it again. Last night, for the second straight time, the Cardinals lost a 12-i I 4-J game to the Reds. The Cardinals, who open an eight-game stand at o'clock tonight when they meet the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium, fell out of a first-place tie with Houston. The Astros didn't play yesterday. "Maybe our luck against the Cardinals is turning," said Cincinnati's Bob Lee, the winning pitcher in relief for the second successive night.

"St. Louis had all the luck last year." Last season the Cardinals heat the Reds the last eight times they met Four times the difference was one run and twice the games lasted 12 innings. Last night's loss brought creases to manager Red Schoendienst's brow, just as Wednesday's setback had. "I still don't see how Chico Ruiz ever hit that ball in the twelfth inning," Schoendienst said. "Larry Jaster had pitched so well in relief, too." Ruiz, a handyman who had three in three times at bat in the series, had a one-ball, two-strike count when he tomahawked the ball to left for a single.

That blow sent Leo Cardenas to second with one out. Cardenas had singled off the end of bat with one away. Switch-hitter Pete Rose was next. He had set up the winning run with a double in the twelfth the night before. And he hod tied last night's game at 3-3 with an eighth-inning home run mates with a -r double that climaxed a three-run fifth TOWN and COUNTRY FORD 8025 MARYLAND (In CIyton) inning.

You'd think Rose would be tired by now, especially since he's always on the run, even to first base after he has been walked. Rose borrowed the perpetual-hustle idea from Enos Slaughter. But Pete wasn't tired. He was strong enough to sock the first pitch to left-center for a double that broke up the game.

Rose recalled that he first started getting in a big hurry to make the majors when he hod to make overnight trips in the minors in station wagons with eight to a car. "We had to learn to sleep sitting up," he said. "Here In the majors, you fly everywhere and you sleep in a real bed every night." The $I5-a-day meal money In the majors also revs up Rose.
