Friday, September 3. The drama usally supplied in a Bill Hands start was missing today as the Cards struck for two runs in the first, including Joe Torre's 17th homer. Buts the Cubs scored five times after two were gone in the third, capitalizing on two Cardinal outfield errors. Ted Sizemore (1) led off the third with a homer and the Cards pushed another across on a Ted Simmons groundout. The Cards took the lead wit two in the fifth only to see the Cubs tie it at 6 in he 6th. Glenn Beckert's two out single in the 8th produced the wining run. Phil Regan got the win (7-8, 5.40) Ray Newman got his first major league save. Reggie Cleveland (9-15, 4.47) was the loser. Cubs 7 Cardinals 6
Saturday, September 4. Milt Pappas (12-13, 3.34) continued his string of good outings. He has now pitched at least 7 innings in 8 of his last nine starts. The Cubs hit Cardinal starter Steve Carlton (13-18, 4.13) hard in the first, scoring 5 times. Billy Williams (26) hit a solo shot in the seond while Joe Hague (12) had a two run homer for the hometown Cards. Cubs 6 Cardinals 3
Sunday, September 5. Jim Hickman singled home a run in the first, hit a three run homer (20) in the third and a solo shot (21) in the 7th on his way to a five rbi day. Jerry Reuss (9-17, 5.25) was the victim of those five and two others as Ferguson Jenkins (23-8, 2.35) won despite not having his best stuff. Cubs 7 Cardinals 4
