She was nine years old. Wc kind of drifted across the line." Sloan drove down for the competition from Anderson, Ind. at his daughter's invitation.

Tracie is a junior chemical engineering student at Vanderbilt. Her appearance at Harbor Island Yacht Club, co-sponsor of the Regatta, is not the first. She is the official bagpipe musician at the annual HIYC McDougall Regatta. Yesterday's races ended two weeks of competition which comprised the Tennessean sponsored event. Cruising class boats competed the opening weekend, followed by the open classes this past weekend.

Nancy, following a fall in karate practice Friday, was too stiff in the back after a day of racing Saturday to continue in the third and final event. Lynne was then called into service. "We gave her a piece of toast and Eushed her into the boat," Sher-urne recalled.

"I really have to give credit to my wife," he said, "she's the one who trained the girls to work so well in the boat." Sherburne, out of first place in most of yesterday's race, used the final spinnaker run to push ahead of leader Walter England and win the final leg, sweeping the series. "IT WAS a tight run," Sherburne said. "Walter England was ahead of us, but he couldn't carry his spinnaker all the way. We carried ours all the way to the drop point and passed him on the way. Farther down lake, on the shorter course for the smaller boats, Hoosier Clark Sloan read the winds and current well enough to take his boat to the Day Sailer class title and garner the Challenge Trophy.

He didn't even get to enjoy his two-run single, after the blow which knocked him more than temporarily unconscious. Wright batted for him in the eighth and Scott McPherson played short in the ninth.

Defensively, third baseman Tim Doerr came up with three splendid plays deep behind the bag at third, and Nashville was guilty of only one error when catcher Mark Miller lost a foul popup in the sun.

THE SOUNDS SCORED two in the third on Miller's RBI double which scored Steve Hughes and on a sacrifice fly by Randy Davidson. The other Nashville run came in the fifth on Tony Moretto's RBI double.

Don Sherburne, skippering a Lightning, won the Evans Cup with the help of wife Betty and daughter Lynne; while Clark Sloan and daughter Tracie navigated a Day Sailer to capture the Challenge Trophy. SHERBURNE, having won both Saturday races in the Lightning class, was forced into a last minute crew substitution yesterday morning.

He replaced ailing daughter Nancy, half of Saturday's crew, with sleepy daughter Lynne. "I got in from Chicago last night," related replacement Lynne. "and was awakened this Lakers Fall To Sonics From Wire Reports Gus Williams ignited a second-quarter rally and rookie Jack Sikma carried the scoring load in the second half to lead the Seattle SuperSonics to a 111-102 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers yesterday in the deciding game of their best-of-three first-round National Basketball Assocaition playoff series at Seattle. The Sonics, who lost to the Lakers at Los Angeles Friday night to set up yesterday's third game, will meet the defending world champion Portland Trail Blazers in a best-of-seven series starting tomorrow in Portland. Sikma finished with 24 points, including 12 in the third period as the Sonics took a 91-78 lead into the final 12 minutes.

The 6-11 forward-center hit a pair of free throws late in the third period that gave the Sonics an 83-64 lead, their biggest of the game. Williams scored 16 points in the first half, including 11 in a second-period rally that boosted the Sonics into a 59-50 halftime lead. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who turned 31 yesterday, played the entire game for Los Angeles and led all scorers with 31 points. Dave Robisch came off the bench in the second half to counter Sikma 's powerful inside play and was instrumental in the Lakers' fourth period scoring bursts. Robisch had 12 points in the final period.

Jamaal Wilkes and Adrian Dantlev added 15 points apiece for the Lakers. Philadelphia and San Antonio won the first games of their second round, best-of-seven playoffs yesterday.

EXPOS-METS MONTREAL (AP) Lefthander Ross Grimsley tossed a four-hitter and got solo home runs from Dave Cash and Andre Dawson as the Montreal Expos downed the New York Mets 4-1. Grimsley, 2-0, struck out three in recording his second victory over the Mets this season, while Jerry oun (From First Sports Page) didn't need those four runs.

One would have done nicely considering the way Berenyi and Corbett held the Chicks at bay, not allowing a single Memphis runner to get beyond first base all afternoon. BERENYI PITCHED the first six innings, gave up all three hits, struck out eight and walked only one. Then Corbett came on to retire nine straight batters, including four strikeouts. "I was really nervous, but I got even more nervous once I left the game and started thinking what I'd just done," said Berenyi. "It felt great, though.

We've got a heck of a team. I'm fired up." Goggin had decided to let Berenyi go only a maximum of seven innings but decided to insert Corbett after six when Berenyi began to tire.

North, which totaled 37 points to edge host Baylor's 30, won first place medals in both hurdle events where Mickey Avery was clocking in 14.4 for the highs and 39.1 for the intermediates. The Yankees won two relay events as the two-mile unit of Gerodo Davis, Arthur Batey, Marvin Evans and Charles Tomes took first place in 8:10.9.

While Vandy awaits the invasion of Georgia here next weekend, Tennessee takes a rest today and then plays Kentucky a three-game series, beginning with a single game tomorrow at Lexington, Ky. "It's our last road series," said Vols coach Wright, "and our chances of finishing second pretty well depend on us winning it." NUISMER, scoring his fifth mound decision of the year, actually pitched better than it appears, the Vols finishing with 12 hits and six runs. But he had given up just six hits, and two runs, and was coasting 8-2 when he tired in the eighth.

The Vols got six of their 12-hit total in the last two innings, some off reliever Guy Buher, who rescued Nuismer with no outs in the ninth. "Nuismer pitched a good game," said Schmittou. "He was effective until we already had the game in hand." Wayne Gregory, Vandy's designated hitter, slammed a two-run homer in the fourth inning and a run-scoring double in the fifth to power the Commodores' 11-hit assault on a Tennessee team, which was guilty of seven errors. IT WAS Gregory's second home run of this series and his fifth of the year. He drove in six runs in the three games with Tennessee.

Aiding Gregory was first baseman Mike Pike, who had three hits, including a double and drove in one run. Paul Gagliano and Nelson Jennings also had two-run singles in the game. Gary Rivers, now 4-3, started for Tennessee on the mound and gave way to reliever Randy Helton in the fourth. Helton finished up, although tagged for three runs in the eighth. Tennessee had four players with two hits each, including Robbie Howard, Stan Loy, Ron Hartsf ield, Tommy Cooke and Chuck Ken-zcl.

MANY OF the 400 or so fans at McGugin had already left the park when Vandy's Mike Wright made a pitch-hitting appearance in the eighth winning. Wright, who just two weeks ago suffered a shoulder separation which required surgery, was safe on a fielder's choice and later scored.

AP) Just as he did in the Masters, Gary Player came from seven shots off the pace, this time with a five-under-par 67 that vaulted him past struggling Severiano Balles-teros and brought him the title yesterday in golf's Tournament of Champions. And, again as it happened last week in the agonizing tension of the Masters, the South African put his score on the board early in the day. Just as it was at Augusta, he then had more than a half-hour to wait and watch no longer able to effect the outcome as the game's best players took their shot at his 281 total, seven under par on the wet and soggy, La Costa Country Club course. No one really came close this time and Player became the first man in more than a year to win consecutive titles on the American tour. He scored by two strokes and collected $45,000 from the total purse of $225,000 distributed in the elite event that brings together only the winners of PGA Tour titles from the last 12 months.

That gave him a total of $90,000 in the last two weeks and $99,801 for his brief American tour this year. Ballcsteros, the spectacular young Spaniard who led or shared the lead through the first 3 rounds and had a four-shot margin coming into the final 18 holes, shot himself out of it in a hurry. He double-bogeyed the first hole in the bright, cool weather, blading his third shot into a bunker. He got two more shots in the water, three-putted the sixth hole, made double bogey five after leaving it in a bunker on the 14th and finally finished with a fat 79 that left him well back at 286. Mac McLendon, Bill Kratzert and Leonard Thompson were next at 284.

Kratzert matched par 72, Thompson shot 71 and McLendon had 73. Tied for second behind the black-clad Player were Lee Trevino and Andy North at 283. North shot a 69 on the course still wet and heavy from overnight rains, and Trevino had 71.
