The team that wins the National

give its members little lawnmow-
ers to remind them of why the
Philadelphia PhiIlies didn't win.
The Phillies might still pull the
big surprise. but il gets more I'M.
likely by the day, particularly the
days when Curt Simmons pitches
and loses.
This looked like . great year for
Simmons. During the first month
of the season he and Robin Rob.
ertS formed the most feared left.
right pitching combination in the
majors.
But one sunny day in early June,
Curt decided to cut some grass
and he ran his power mower over
his left foot. Part Of his big toe
had to be amputated. He was side
lined . full month.
He's been back IN action 2ls
weeks now. but not with anything
like his early success. In foui
starts he has won just once.
Last night the PhiIlies threw
Roberts and Simmons at the Nil
Iwaukee Braves. Roberts won hi
I16th game with ease 100, but Sim

manager, said mis- club still has
a chance. The Indisns backed him
with an s-3 licking of the New
Workers, giving the Indians a 2.
perceneage-point edge for third
place over Boston.
Richards is sure his White Sox
are sound, despite a double header
loss to the Yankees Sunday, and
that they'a keep goingstrong.
Richards said the only question
is just how long the Yanks can
keep going.
