Friday. July 22, 1983 THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER SPORTS B-3 Reds Sports Digest Torrez for Craig Swan. "He pitched In and out of Jams," said Howard. "He did It In the first and second, and I thought he'd get better." Torrez walked Cesar Cedeno to open the third Inning. Then Dan Driessen walked for the first of four times and Esasky walked before Duane Just ticked to death to Walker doubled past diving first baseman Keith Hernandez.

That scored two runs, making it 2-1. After an Intentional walk to Ron Oester, Torrez served up a sacrifice fly to Bllardello. IN THE fourth, Driessen walked with one out. On a 3-2 count, with Howard perched on the top step of the dugout ready to relieve him, Torrez threw Esasky's home run ball. Then It was up to Puleo, who tired, and Scherrer and Hayes.

Hayes pitched one-hit ball over the last 1 Innings. It seems a long time ago when he was getting ripped every time out. "I think I'm back to normal," said Hayes, who had arm problems and an ERA over 10.00 early In the season. "I'm back to the way I was pitching last year and the year Munoz CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-l Mike Trope. A letter from Trope telling the Bengals Munoz was to hold out and proposing contract terms was supposed to be on the way.

Munoz said he was told the letter had been sent. WHILE BROWN refused to confirm or deny the Rimington figures, he said escalating first-round salaries is a trend the NFL has had to live with the last dozen years. And he doesn't think the figures give Munoz ammunition. "The argument that I would make is that he too was once a first-round draft choice (In 1980) and when he came Into the league he was paid disproportionate to others, Including some veterans, because he was a first-round choice," Brown said. "He benefited from it He had the opportunity.

It is inconsistent to say It was all right then and Isn't all right now." Brown Indicated he didn't plan to call the tackle or his agent. "He knows our position, he knows the rules," he said. "I'll write him a letter (today) merely to restate the consequences of not showing up. He's fully aware what those consequences are." Munoz admitted It felt funny not reporting, particularly when buddy and Bengal roommate Max Montoya stopped by. "Max came by to pick up the television set.

He said, 'The one thing I do get Is the TV, right?" I said, Munoz said. "It was kind of weird, he was going up and I wasn't going with him." From the looks of It, It could be a long separation. Browner CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-l CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-l break. Last year on July 22, they were 25 games below .500 (34-59). Today, July 22, the club Is 10 games under (42-52).

It figures that Torrez Co. (Reds' starter Charlie Puleo passed six) would walk everyone In sight on such a torrid night. The high temperature In Cincinnati Thursday was 100 degrees. "Can't get much hotter that this," moaned catcher Dann Bllardello afterward. "Yes It can," coach Ron Plaza said.

"Walt till Sunday." How bad was It? "It wasn't so much breathing," said Puleo, who drank six glasses of water during the game. "It was Just standing up. Tonight I'll be drinking like a fish." To his credit, Puleo (4-5), who had never beaten his former club, lasted 6'i innings and gave the Mets only four hits, including Brian Giles' RBI single In the second. Bill Scherrer and Ben Hayes (save No. 4) finished up, and the Mets didn't get a runner past second In the last seven Innings.

TORREZ, ACQUIRED by the Mets along with Tom Seaver in the off-season to serve as a role model for the Mets' young staff, was a model of wtldness. He walked the bases loaded In the first Inning (at one point throwing 13 of 14 balls). He walked two more In the second, four In the Reds' three-run third and one In the fourth. "I've been through a few of these games In A ball," said Bllardello. "But not here." What killed Torrez (5-12), though, was the bat of Nick Esasky.

Following Dan Driessen's walk with one out in the fourth Inning, Esasky hit his seventh homer in 103 major-league at-bats an average of a homer each 14.7 times up over the left-center field fence 390 feet from home plate. That made It 5-1, and Mets manager Frank Howard pulled NEW YORK CINCINNATI it I'd IX ibrliM Bailor 4 0 10 EMktr cf 3 0 0 0 WMw cf 3 0 0 0 Cncpoi II 5 0 I 0 Hotnanp 0 0 0 0 Crtenort 4110 Hodgnph 0 0 0 0 HotlMrrt 0 0 0 0 KHrixB lb 4 0 0 0 Oritun lb I 1 I I FostvK 3 0 10 EMlky3b 3 111 Strwbry rl 1110 Waker 4 0 11 AiMord3b 30 10 Oeiterfc 3 0 0 0 SIsuCWi 1 0 0 0 6 Oslo 3 0 0 1 8rookl3b 0 0 0 0 Puleo 2 0 0 0 Gtel 2b 3 0 11 Scrwrw 10 0 0 Ortlic 4 0 10 BHayesp 0 0 0 0 Torrez 10 0 0 Swanp 0 0 0 0 HWJCl 2 0 0 0 Tttlri Mill Tttah Ittit NtwYarli 010 000 OH-I dBdmurl 001 Ott-4 Marlins' Mills Sets '83 Mark FROM ENQUIRER STAFF and WIRE REPORTS Former Flnneytown High School swimmer Glenn Mills posted the fastest U.S. time in 1983-and the ninth best world time this year-in the 200-meter breaststroke for the Cincinnati Pepsi Marlins Thursday at the Region 3 Long Course swimming meet at Tuscaloosa, Ala. Mills, who attends the University of Alabama, swam a 2:20.65 to pace the Marlins' men to the meet's team lead, with 386 points. Marlins' women Nancy Nemet and Kim Rhodenbaugh took first in 800-meter freestyle and 200-meter breaststroke swimming respectively, Nemet winning with a 8:55.43 time.

The women's team is currently second in competition, with 344 points. New Deal For Blues Brewing The National Hockey League Board of Governors gave conditional approval to a group headed by California investor Harry Ornest to buy the St. Louis Blues franchise. NHL president John Zicgler, In announcing the action, said that Ornest's group must meet a number of conditions before gaining final approval. The group has until 5 p.m.

next Wednesday to satisfy the requirements. "We're gratified to find a way to keep hockey in St. Louis," said Zlegler. "But we're not there yet. The rest is up to Mr.

Ornest and his group." Zlegler did not Immediately disclose the price Ornest tendered, although some sources said the offer was $12 million. He did say, however, that Included In the purchase agreement are the team's assets and Its player contracts, which the NHL acquired control of when It took over the team from Ralston Purina Co. Zlegler also declined to detail the exact vote of the 18-member board, but said It carried by the necessary three-quarters majority. Mcllale Signs With Celtics The drawn-out, bitter war over free agent Kevin Mcllale ended Thursday when the forward-center signed a contract, reportedly worth $1 million per year for four years, that keeps him with the Boston Celtics. McHale, a three-year National Basketball Association veteran who played at University of Minnesota, signed the contract In Minneapolis, the Celtics said.

The pact, which reportedly doesn't Include deferred payments, makes him the highest-paid Celtic ever. It lacks a penalty clause McHale had sought In case the team decided to trade him. But Boston General Manager Red Auerbach reportedly assured McHale that the club had no plans to do that. McHale becomes the fourth-highest paid NBA player behind Moses Mulone, Julius Krving and Jack Sikma, the Boston Herald reported. Notre Dame guard John Paxson, the San Antonio Spurs' first-round pick in the NBA draft, might miss the team's rookie camp next week because of stalled contract negotiations, his agent says.

Larry Flelsher of New York said Dayton, Ohio, native Paxson and the Spurs disagree on the "length of the contract, dollars and guarantees," but refused to disclose any particulars. Paxson, a 6- foot-2 guard, was the 19th pick overall In last month's draft. Sports Impostor Unmasked Police announced Thursday that the man arrested in Natchitoches, In a confidence scam is definitely not basketball hero Bill Russell nor pro football star Marv Fleming. However, officers said they will not make the man's Identity known until today when they will release his entire rap sheet, said pi. Russell Roge, a police spokesman.

To set the record straight in the interim, Roge announced late that FBI fingerprint experts had determined who the man is not. "It's looking more and more like this guy is Just one of the biggest frauds I've ever seen," said Roge. When the man was arrested last Saturday for attempted felony theft by fraud, he had been Impersonating Russell, trying to sell shares In a restaurant chain. Once in custody, he told officers he was really Fleming. He was booked on two new charges carrying a stolen credit card and resisting arrest.

Canada 1 Charges Back Canada the resurgent yacht with Terry McLaughlin as skipper, sailed off with two victories Thursday and Jumped three notches Into second place In America's Cup challenge races. The new American 12-meter, Defender, sailed by Star Class champion Torn Blnckaller, twice defeated the cup veteran, Courageous, In separate races for defense prospects in Rhode Island Sound off Newport, R.I. Canada mired in fifth place through the first two challenge race series here, defeated the Australian boat, Advance, In the first race by an overwhelming 4:03. In the second match, the Canadians were leading by nearly a minute when France 3, skippered by Bruno Trouble, had rigging problems and had to drop out. Canada 1 finished the course and scored the win.

The two victories moved Canada I to second in point standing. Helax, Mom, Son's OK A University of Kansas football player who was the object of a four-day search called his parents Thursday from his grandparents' home In Lubbock, Texas, and said he was unaware he had been reported missing. Mark A. Henderson, 19, called his parents to say he "was shocked that there was any furor or concern" over his disappearance, according to his father, the Rev. Homer D.

Henderson. Henderson, who will be a sophomore at Kansas, was last seen In Lawrence at a party about 12:30 a.m. Sunday. His father reported him missing last Sunday. The elder Henderson said his son "Just took off on a trip of his own." Elsewhere New commissioner Steve Hatrhell says he's seriously considering moving the Metro Conference headquarters from Its birthplace In St.

Louis, possibly to Atlanta. "With St. Louis University no longer a member of the Metro and with St. Louis on the western fringe of the whole conference, I believe the office should relocate," Hatchell said. Lurivn Van Impe of Belgium won the 19th leg of the Tour de France cycling classic, a 10-mlle individual race against the clock from Morzlne to Avorlaz.

"It's Just one of those things I've forgotten about. It's In my past. I Just wish (people) forgive and forget and I can go on and keep on stepping." While the two will be admitted to camp, It might be going to far to say Paul Brown Is welcoming them. "I'd hoped lt'd be done before we met," Brown said. "Since It Isn't and since they are under contract, we think we have an obligation to have them here." BENGAL NOTES The Bengals signed free-agent tight end Mark Weis of New York Tech to help fill the Injury-depleted tight-end corps.

Free-agent linebacker Jon Mack of Northwood Institute left camp. "I love It," Kiefer said of the prospect of playing Wolf. Wolf beat Kiefer In the 1980 and 1981 Met finals. The 26-year-old Wolf, meanwhile, is by no means ready to relinquish the title. Sickness and fatigue plagued him for much of the past year, which Is why he's seeded only fourth.

The 6-foot-4 big hitter looks very strong now, though. "I'm not hitting the ball too badly," Wolf said In somewhat of an understatement. "I'm having more fun this year. I think my toughest years here were the second year, because It's tough to defend, and last year, because I was going for four straight and that was the record." IN WOMEN'S singles, No. 1 seed Kathy Barton Is making the rest of the field look silly.

Barton has not lost a game In three straight set victories. The latest victim was Beth Johnson in Thursday's quarterfinals. With No. 2 seed Evelyn Klely already eliminated, the top remaining challengers are No. 3 seed Linda Burrell and No.

4 Pam Dod-man. A darkhorse threat Is unseeded Dorianna Lofgren, who upset Klely Wednesday. Lofgren Is the wife of BUI Lofgren, who Is the top seed In the men's singles conserve your energy on a day like this," said Kiefer. HE TRIED, but when the match ended, Kiefer looked as if he'd Just been for a swim. After a slow start, he had little trouble dispatching the error-prone Mlr-llsena.

The left-handed Mlrlisena had sought his second straight upset after putting out No. 5 seed Jeff Zlnn on Wednesday. "I Just tried to keep things simple," said Kiefer, whose full-time Job is teaching tennis at the Clinton Hills swimming pool In North Avondale. "With him (Mlrlisena) I have to weather the storm. He's going to make some good shots because he's a tough player.

But it got to where he knew I would return every ball on him, and I think that worked on him mentally." Kiefer will have to reach deep Into his bag of tricks for his next act, wherein he'll try to unseat four-time defending singles champion Marty Wolf. The fourth-seeded Wolf gained a semifinal date with Kiefer by crushing No. 8 Tom Tobias, 6-1, 'Original' Blue Jay Sticks With Ball Club TORONTO (AP)-The Toronto Blue Jays announced Thursday that catcher Ernie Whltt has signed a contract that will extent his commitment to the team through the 1985 season. Whltt, one of three orglnal Blue Jays still with the club, was on the final year of a two-year contract with the team. Under the new deal, the club has an option of extending the agreement through the 1986 season.
