1 ues Hand Norstars Late Schock iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiii ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH II BOB By Wally Cross They itood dripping and their suits were sodden messes yet they were not castaways from a sinking shlp-anything but! A shower, for a gentleman, fully clothed, doesn't provoke knee-slapping glee unless you're a champion. But to executive vice president Sid Salomon III and coach Scotty Bowman of Hie Blues, it was the washing away of eight months of sweat and frustration. The St. Louis hockey Blues the Clenched Flsters they were being called had made it to the top on the strength of Ron Schock's sudden-death goal at 2 minutes 50 seconds or the second overtime period before a record Arena crowd of 15,566.

Champagne corks popped and the champions of the National Hockey League's West Division drank toasts and poured the bubbly over each other's heads for a full half hour, savoring the taste of victory to Its fullest. At the other end of The Arena, the Minnesota North Stars, gallant losers of a 2-1 heartbreaker, quietly showered and packed their bags for the long trip home. Tears tickled down the cheeks of more than a few of the rock-hard Minnesotans, but the young North Stars left secure In the knowledge that they'll be back In the thick of playoff action again next year. "We've got a young team and this was experience that you can't buy," said John Mnriucci, the old St. Louis Flyer who now is the assistant to Minnesota general manager and coach Wren Blair.

"I know it's an old cliche, but wait until next year." The crowd eclipsing the record of 15,351 set earlier this season against the Chicago Black Hawks, couldn't help but agree. Despite the victory, which earned the Blues the right to tion last night and turned standout defensive efforts. Arbour missed four games In the best-of-seven series with a severe Charley horse, while Harvey, the coach at Kansas City this year, missed three contests because of a pulled muscle, Although he enjoyed the attention that goes with a winning playoff goal, Schock, who had started In only one other game in the series, pointed out that he was partly responsible for the lone Minnesota goal. "I threw the puck across In our own zone and It was intercepted," he said. "They didn't score right away, but if I'd done as I was told they'd never have gotten the chance.

"Scotty warned us about dumping the puck across the middle against this team. I guess I got a little flustered. It's not always that easy to think clearly when you're out ther." Schock, who abandoned the helmet last night that he started wearing after the death of Minnesota's Bill Master-ton, knew exactly what he was going to do, however, after accepting Gerry Melnyk's breakaway pass In the second overtime. "I planned to shoot from the minute I got the puck," said the 24-year-old Schock. "Maniago came out, but he gave me a little hole on his right side so I went for It." Schock, one of hockey's first bonus babies, took his helmet off at the request of Blues' general manager Lynn Patrick, who first signed him to a pro contract with Boston.

Ironically, Patrick predicted prior to the start of the third period last night that Schock would get the winning goal. "He was just playing like the Schock that I know," said Patrick. "I had a feeling." Patrick said that he didn't Insist that Ron remove his hel met, he Just suggested it and Ron agreed that he hadn't been playing particularly well with it on. Minnesota opened the scoring at 16:49 of the third period' on rookie Welt McKechnie's 30-foot, partly-screened shot that" bounced off brother Harvey and Barclay Plager before ing St. Louis goalies Glenn Hall.

But Moore evened the count 31 seconds later on an almost-identical screened drive that Cesare Maniago, the Minnesota goalkeeper, failed to see until It was too late, "I knew Dickie was going to score the minute he stepped on the Ice," said St. Louis defenseman Bob Player. "He was holding his stick so tight the veins were standing out In his arms. And he had that special look In his eyes when he gets that look, you Just know he's going to score." Maniago, who made 36 saves last night and was outstanding throughout the series, hnd to take a backseat to Hall In this one. Mr.

Goalie turned in one of the better games of his career, kicking out 43 shots and keeping the Blues alive in the first two periods when the North Stars had an advantage in the play. Clarence Campbell, president of the National Hockey League, refcree-in-chlef Scotty Morrison and NHL Public relations director Don Ruck all left the game in the third period to catch a plane for Detroit and the funeral today ef Jack Adams, former Detroit Red Wings general manager and coach. Patrick also was to have taken the same plane but he passed It up. "Jack would understand," said the former Boston Bruins' general manager. "He wouldn't have attended my funeral, either, if his club was in overtime." May 4, 1968 5 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiin meet the Montreal Canadiens here tomorrow at 1 p.m.

in the evening game of the Stanley Cup finals, there was an underlying sadness in the St. Louis locker room. Veteran Dickie Moore, who scored the first goal for the Blues, learned yesterday that his father-in-law had died In Canada, And Doug Harvey, called up from Kansas City after his Baby Blues wert knocked out of the Central League playoffs, was (old Just prior to gam time that bis mother is deathly 111 in Montreal. The 43-year-old Harvey, although reluctant to leave the team, departed for his mother's bedside this morning. "He told me that he knew she would want him to stay and play," said Bowman.

"But he reinjured his leg last night, so I told him he'd better go home. Moore is leaving after tomorrow's game for his father-in-law's funeral." Both Harvey and team-captain Al Arbour returned to ac Hopes Ride on Jockeys Don Blumfield, came III because of food poisoning. When Blumfield was scratched, Calument's current trainer, Henry Forrest, decided what had been good enough for Jimmy Jones was good enough for him. Calumet hired Valenzuela to ride Forward Pass on the tenth anniversary of the jockey's victory at Churchill Downs. If Valenzuela were to beat the others in today's field of 14, guys like John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics will have to do some serious worrying about any claims to being the sports world's greatest substitutes.

The big question wss whether Forward Pass could romp home first from his No. 11 post posi tion. One guy who Is sure he can Is Valenzuela. And he should have the experience to know. At the age of 33, he already has been riding 23 years, dating from the days when he was a 10-year-old earning $40 a month bouncing home on quarter-horses in the southwest.

But even if Valenzuela was to coax Forward Pass around the field, would he have enough left to hold off a 's Image, with last year's Derby jockey champ, Bob Ussery, up? And would the right front ankle of Dancer's Image hold up The colt has suffered repeated trouble. However, his veterinarian pronounced him in good shape this morning. v-V 4 1 aaaaMananaaaaaf aa.a.. inn ml llf kmm fc Hawks Started With 16-1 Discouraged Kerner Crowds FROM PAGE ONE Orleans group was reported to have completed a deal, but Kerner insisted that if a St. Louis group could match the price, he would perfer that the team remain here.

It soon developed that the New Orleans people were not so financially sound as they had originally indicated and the deal fell through. When no acceptable St. Louis offer was received, Kerner decided to keep the team himself. The Hawks finished second In the Western Division In their first season In St Louis, 1955-56.

May 4 -Ismail (Milo) Valenzuela is considered one of the leading Jockeys in the country. He also has become the a I Farm's personal Blue Cross policy. Before today's ninety-fourth running of the Kentucky Derby here (CBS-TV, Channel 4. 3:38 p.m. St.

Louis time). Calumet's last entry in the run for the roses was Tim Tarn. Today's entry in the IVi-mile race was Forward Pass, which was expected to go off the favorite. Both times, when the Calumet Farm needed health-and-acci-dent protection, Valenzuela provided it. Before the '58 Derby, Willie Hartack, the hard-headed, hard-riding Jockey of almost unparalleled on the track, suffered a broken leg in a spill.

Because trainer Jimmy Jones felt be had not recovered fully from the injury, Hartack lost the saddle on Tim Tarn (or the Derby. Although eyebrows were lifted In some quarters. Calumet had Valenzuela for Insurance, and how the Texas-born and Mexican-reared Jockey paid off! As calm as a Derby veteran, Valenzuela guided his first mount in this classic event to a half-length victory. Valenzuela followed with Derby mounts in 1960, '63, '64 and '65 but the best he could do was second. And he didn't even have a mount for today's race until Forward Pass's regular Jockey, Blues, Canadiens Tickets on Sale Tickets for the National Hockey League Stanley Cup final series between the Blues and the Montreal Canadiens went on sale this morning at The Arena.

Would Captain's Gig. which didn't race this past winter and hasn't gone more than seven furlongs this year, hold out for 10 furlongs? Jockey Manny Ycaza was sure he would. And would Iron Ruler, with talented Braulio Baeza up, be able to take advantage of his No. 1 post position, considering the colt's history of being overtaken on the home stretch? The answers apparently were In the hands of the Jockeys.

OIMI IMlQ OiK a lomnll IIS Out (lit By Neal Russo Of the Pott-Dispatch Staff SAN FRANCISCO. May 4-Just before the Cardinals came to town, Cincinnati manager Dave Bristol was quoted as saying that somebody had better put the brakes on the Redbirds and the San Francisco Giants were the current logical choice "because they have the pitching to do it." Well, the Giants' pitching didn't stop the Cardinals in the series opener last night. The home team sent out its No. 1 pitcher, Juan Marichal, and the Redbirds, hardly regarded as being In a home run class with the Giants, socked three balls out of the park. However, the power -minded San Franciscans dazzled the visitors with singles, especially infield blows, and cut the Cardinals' National League lead to 214 gme by beating them, 5-4.

Steve Carlton fought his way out of several rough spots and, with Cutt Flood hitting two homers good for three runs, and Mike Shannon connecting for his fifth in the ninth inning, Carlton held a 4-2 lead with three outs to go. Within resch was tall Steve's first victory over the Giants in lour tries. However, a couple of squlbbers, by plnch-hltter Ollie Brown and Jesus Alou, gave the Giants first-and-second one-out situation. Ron Hunt then accouted for a key advance with an In field out. Still the situation looked good for Carlton, a southpaw faced Willie McCovey.

a lefthanded batter. McCovey's best shot in the game had been an infield hit on which second baseman Julian Javier made a good stop to his left in the third Inning. Hoolie saved a run, for the hit filled the bases. This time, in the ninth, McCovey grounded the first pitch to center to drive in the two runs that tied the score. Now came a key play.

With Willie Mays at bat, McCovey, not known for base-running aupremacy, stole second base. 1 saw that the Cardinals weren't paying much attention to me," McCovey said later. Said first base coach Wes Westrum, "Willie ran on his own. He saw the opening and took off." Carlton bad handled Mays Wren Blair, the usually talkative general manager coach, shrugged at mention of the whistle that didn't blow. No penalty-shot foul was called when Barclay Plager of the Blues swarmed over the Nor stars's Wayne Connelly from behind as the Minnesota wing rushed in for a shot on goal late in the first overtime period.

"There's no sense talking about it now," said Blair, with out so much as a shrug of his shoulders, called." But it had to be Connelly felt the same way. Suprisingly, he had declined to accost referee Art Skov at the time of the incident "What good would It have done?" Connelly said. "He called no penalties In the third period or the overtime. But inert comes a ume nen you ve a got to caU It a penalty, at least, if not the penalty shot" r.r Manlnnn snalia who alone among the Norstars received applause, not boos, from the crowd when the visitors were announced, ssid of Ron Shock's winning goal: "It was a good shot." v-v i Pressed for more, he said. 'It was a breakaway, just an- other breakaway.

I picked up Shock at their blueline. He was open. I knew it was coming. "He skated over our blueline and I came out 10 feet or so, as you do on breakaways. And then I backed up.

"And then he shot Low, about foot off the Ice. It went into the right comer, the stick side. Il aval a orwl xhnt." Looking ahead to the Blues' i i I Niamey cup nnm scrica aguuiat Montreal, Blair hedged about how much St. Louis might hope to accomplish. "There's not much to choose between us and the Blues we played five games here and three went Into overtime and either club would be tired going up against the Canadiens.

"The Canadiens are a great team. And they are rested. What the Blues will be able to do, what we might have done This time, he shrugged. Mm If 4 llnndrl ill ki a 1 A is a a 11 nr.rr 4 I hh.anoa 4 J. Irr Matt III aa 4 tarltaa I 0 I 34 4 dlB II la, Ml km rum MA.

well, throwing a called third strike past him with the bases lull in the third inning and again with two on base In the tilth. was Mays's turn now. On a full count he singled to left, breaking up the game. "It was a high fast ball and it wasn't a strike," Mays said. Said Carlton, a gracious loser," I didn't get the ball inside as much as I wanted to.

If I had. he would have had to back off. But I got him a couple of times and he got me in the end. That's what makes Mays a heckuva competitor." Flood, lifting his batting average to .384 and his runs batted in total to 17, homered in the first inning and connected again after Carlton singled in the fifth. "Curt hit -a good pitch the first time, but I hung a slider on the second home run," Marichal said.

As for Shannon's homer in the fifth, Marichal said "Mike hit a sidearm curve. I got him out with the same pitch two times before." Flood grew up in nearby Oakland and his mother and several other members of the family watched his big performance. "We have to do a good job when we play here," said Nelson Briles, also an area product," "otherwise, our families bug us all the while we're here, fern?
