NEW YORK YANKEES Sold outfielder Carlos May to the California Angels on waivers. LOS ANGELES DODGERS Signed outfielder Reggie Smith to a four-year contract worth an estimated $1 million; rookie infielders Ron Washington and Rafael Landestoy and outfielder Jeff Leonard also signed. SWIMMING enthusiastic that the Cincinnati Bengals' defensive front four is ready this year to enjoy the same success as a unit that he enjoyed as an individual last football sea-con, The 34-year-old defensive end led the National Football League with 26 quarterback sacks last year, and now he believes he has reinforcements which can make the team's defensive front four even more fearsome. "I've got a lot of help now.

Let me tell you, it's going to be a footrace to see who gets there first. The quarterback has no where to go," said Bacon, who was once a vital cog in the Los Angeles Rams' famed "Fearsome Foursome." The performance of rookies Eddie Edwards and Wilson Whitley, the Bengals' two first-round draft choices has caused Bacon's optimism about the upcoming regular season, which begins Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The two rookies join Bacon in the starting lineup, along with left defensive nd Gary Burley, one of the quickest in the NFL. i said Bacon, a 270-pounder acquired last year from the San Diego Chargers for wide receiver Charlie Joiner. Edwards is a 6-foot-5, 255-pounder from Miami of Florida.

He is stronger than Alan Page. He's really three guys in one. He has strength, speed and quickness. That's three different people," Bacon said. "I'm going to get sacks just by the other guys flushing out the middle." Bacon believes he could increase his total of quarterback sacks to 30 this year and he says Edwards has set a goal of 20.

"You have to think big. You have to have big ideas to get things done," Bacon said. v-f- Edwards and Whitley could close the gap between the Bengals and the Pitts-burah Steelers, their chief division rival. "Edwards and Whitley are quicker than 'Mean' Joe Greene will ever be," said Bacon. That's why it is going to be different with Pittsburgh this year.

Franco Harris won't have nowhere to go." In the past, the Bengals have been mauled by Pittsburgh's running game up the middle.

Teachers in LaPorte have been on strike since Wednesday in a contract dispute but schools have remained open, using mostly substitute teachers. The school board ruled that coaches would have to cross picket lines if they want to continue their coaching duties.

The 45-member team voted to forfeit rather than play with athletic director Ray Cox and some fathers substituting for the coaching staff. Earlier in the week, Famiano said he was concerned about the school's liability if untrained supervision was provided. Tuesday, the day before the strike, in a game between LaPorte's reserves and St.

Joseph High School, one boy suffered a broken back and another stopped breathing. Both were hospitalized. The forfeit vote came after LaPorte's first victory in 13 games. Last week LaPorte beat New Prairie 13-12 in overtime. That was the first success since Famiano took over coaching duties a year ago.
