LOUIS (AP) Ken Boyer, considered by many the St. Louis Cardinals' greatest third baseman, died today following a long illness. Boyer, the victim of lung cancer, was 51. Boyer, one of three brothers who played in the major leagues in the 1950s and 1960s, was also a former St. Louis manager.

His 15-year playing career, spanning 2,024 games, also included stints with the New York Mets, Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. A lifetime .287 hitter, Boyer was the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1964, after David Bowies, who fired a 89 to lead the opening round, slumped to 141 Saturday to share second with Richard Roper. Adams stood at 215 entering Monday's final round while Roper was a stroke back and five-times champion Jake Broyles of Lamesa was third at 217. McFadden and Dayton made a charge at the leader Monday. They shot identical 70s while playing in the same group ahead of Adams, Roper, Broyles and Buddy Jones.

Broyles finished fourth at 292 followed by Roper at 293, Bob Poole at 294, Jones at 295 and Andy Andress at 298. Poole, a six-times winner of this event, Poole and Andress are San Felipe members. McFadden, who was 14 under par in winning last year, had three good rounds. He matched par 71 over the first two rounds, then soared to a 78 on Sunday which dropped him back into the pack. The Del Rio motel owner charged back Sunday to within a single stroke of gaining a playoff and a shot at a repeat championship.

Dayton, likewise, experienced a bad round. He shot a 76 Saturday after opening with a 72. He rallied with a 73 on Sunday. Dayton and McFadden shot Monday's low rounds of 70. Lynn Spurgeon of Uvalde won the president's flight with an even 300 for the 72 holes followed by Carlton Steffens at 301, C.

T. Adams at 307, Steven Wilkcns at 309, and Hal Hutchens and Rocky Valdes at 313. The lower five flights were determined by match play. Jim Harrison defeated Finous Doran in the first flight finals. Other winners were Donald Barley, who downed Jim Lawson, Al Cummings, with a victory over Jim Howard, and J.

B. Hulchcns, who defeated Roy Cummings, In the second flight, Glenn Scallorn took the title with a victory over Haney Alia. Bubba Camp defeated Larry Rushing, Bill Machen edged Gill Brehm and Don Ellis defeated Ben Geeslin. John Finger won the third flight with a victory over Richard Harvey. Cirl Bassey defeated Vernon Call, Bob Freeman downed Bill Conoly and Bill Fritz beat G.W.Gastinger.

In the fourth flight, Dan Miller won over Ed Strickland, Bob Mosher defeated Paul Kusenberger, C. J. Krausc beat Ron Whitfield and Doug Newton defeated Joe Schmid. Buddy Payne won the fifth flight with a win over Jim Hardin and Whiley Crouch beat Waylon Cowan. Jerry Horn defeated Mike Deaton and Dick Winter took a victory over Bill Olin.

A total of 112 players competed over the four-day event. Guys Cuff BY CARL GUYS Molini Moves! Young Larry Molini, the Queen City's king-sized southpaw diamond star has moved from Austin to Ranger and checked in at 85-mph, noted his father Henry Monday night. Larry had some academic pressure problems with his first season on the Texas University pitching staff and was going to attend Austin College this semester and skip baseball. He's at Ranger with coach Jack Allen and shortly after arrival over the weekend his lefthanded delivery was clocked at 85 mph. Ranger already has started its winter ball and will prep for some 95 games, including a series with the Longhorns.

01' Larry could be in a position to pitch against the team he was with last spring. Also, the Rangers play Texas Southmost and Larry could face former teammates from his last Del Rio Ram and Expo teams Adam Guzman and Joey Cardenas. Another former teammate Ralph Lopez (who hurled on the same staffs here with Molini) is seeking to make the Ranger pitching as a freshman. Larry's dad Henry and the rest of the family here were happy to have their son back into the college baseball swim since Austin College does not have baseball. In a chat with Larry, I learned that baseball was still his first priority and he said he'd give it his best shot.

He should be comfortable at Ranger since his schedule calls for classes Monday through Thursday. We'll receive periodic reports from Ranger's Allen on the Del Rio athletes and hopefully hear about pitcher Molini and Lopez hurling low- hit decisions against tough customers like the several SWC foes on the Ranger slate. Free Look-See! Anyone interested in viewing the Lake View-Del Rio football game film may do so by coming to the All- Sports Booster Club at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The session will be held in the Little Theatre at the high school and will also serve to unveil the history-making home football game programs.

Coach Cozel Foster will address the boosters and he'll give an update report on the squad which may very well have some position shifts andor some personnel making first-time starts. Also, supporters are always welcome at the high school football practices. This evening's should be a doozie as the coaching staff is experimenting with some personnel switches. The front gates behind and fronting the frosh building are open so you can drive right on down to the north sideline of the varsity and JV practice fields. New Two-Team Bit! Most of you know, I suppose, that the University Interscholastic Legue rules for 1982 calls for the champion and the runnerup of each football district to go into post season play.

And, that's a fine move. Anyhow, comes word from the UIL office and Dr. Bailey Marshall, the UIL director, telling us that the teams from the same district would not meet hi the post season playoffs until the quarterfinal round. And, that's finer. Winners of district titles would play runners-up of other districts in bi-district games by Nov.

13. The area title game will be played by Nov. 20, the regional playoffs by Nov. 27, the quarterfinals by Dec. 4, the semis by Dec.

11 and the grand finale by Dec. 18 of all 5-A, 3-A and 2-A championships. The 4-A and 1-A post season football playoffs skip area playoffs but will have their respec- tice state champions decided by Dec. 18. Hope to see our Rams, the Uvalde Coyotes and Brackettville Tigers in the playoffs.

That's 30! Cowboys cut vets to keep top rookies DALLAS (AP) Once again, the Dallas Cowboys have pumped Some youth into their organization. On the day the roster-cutting "Turk" came calling with his heavy blade, Coach Tom Landry chopped away some veteran deadwood and kept six rookies on the active 49-man squad. It wasn't as big a rookie infusion as 1974 when Landry kept 12 rookies and rolled into the Super Bowl with them. Landry kept No. 1 selection Rod Hill, a Kentucky State cornerback, No.

2 pick Jeff Rohrer, a Yale linebacker, No. 4 selection Monty Hunter, a Salem College (West Virginia) safety, No. 5 rounder Phil Pozderac, a Notre Dame offensive tackle, and No. 8 round choice Auburn fullback George Peoples. Also making the team was Duke free agent center-guard Brian Baldinger.

Feeling the ax were six-year offensive tackle Andy Frederick, four- year defensive end Bruce Thornton, four-year wide receiver Steve Wilson, and second-year linebacker Bill Roe. Also sliced off the roster were Brian Carpenter, a fourth-round draft choice from Michigan; free agent rookie safety Bobby Johnson of Texas; rookie fullback Dwight Sullivan, an eighth-round pick from North Carolina State; rookie free agent quarterback Brad Wright of New Mexico; and first year defensive end Ron Spears, who spent last year on the injured reserve. Linebackers Scott McLean, a free agent, and third-round selection Jim Eliopulos of Wyoming were placed on the injured reserve list because of knee injuries.

Barnes knew the kind of horse it would take to win the All-American Futurity three straight defeats during the growing years of the world's richest quarter horse race had provided him with that much. Mr Master Bug proved he was that type of horse Monday when he outran nine other 2-year-olds to win the $1 million first place check in the 440-yard race that offered a record, total purse of $2.5 million.

"When I first broke him I knew he was going to be a runner," said Barnes after the victory that made him the first quarter horse owner to win a million dollars in a single race. "I've never had one this good." Actually, Barnes never has had a better day at the races. His filly, Miss Squaw Hand, finished second to earn another $343,500 for the Ada, Oklahoma horseman. The one-two finish also wiped out years of frustration for Barnes, who from 1966-68 saw three of his horses beaten in the futurity. It was during those years that the All-American began to attain notoriety because of its skyrocketing purse.

"This makes up for all of it," Barnes said. Prior to Monday, Barnes had not had a horse in the All- American since 1968, when his outstanding filly Lady Bug's Moon finished second to Three Oh's. "I didn't have the right kind of horses to get back in it," he said. "You have to have a real runner to get here." Barnes and his wife Lela said they had no immediate plans for the money. "I'm going to change the check into dollar bills and look at it," Barnes joked.

Mr Master Bug won the futurity with a devastating closing kick, overtaking his stablemate Miss Squaw Hand and the early leaders in the race, Neat Creek and Call Me Favorite. Neat Creek finished third to earn $153,500 for owners J.G. Cavasar and P.E. Davis both of Beeville, while Call Me Favorite was fourth. Winning for the eighth time in 10 starts this year, Mr Master Bug covered the distance in a slow 22.20 seconds, and paid $4.20 to win, $4.80 to place and $3.60 to show.

With the victory, Mr Master Bug became the second-leading quarter horse money winner of all time, with winnings of $1,344,591. The victory was the second in the futurity for trainer Jack Brooks of Edmond, who also saddled the 1978 winner Moon Lark. The race was marred by the breakdown of co-favorite Yankee Win. The brilliant filly, who had won 10 of 11 races this year, fell just before she hit the finish line, shattering a bone in her right front leg. Del Rio cowboy wins two titles Mike Leach, Del Rio student at Southwest Texas Junior College in Uvalde, won bvonc riding championship in two open rodeos over the past weekend.

Leach took titles in his specialty at Harper and Tilden and pocketed some $500. Sonny wins Alamo BRACKETTVILLE Sonny, ridden by Slick Lewis, won the huge trophy and the 1982 Alamo Village 400-yard horse race on Labor Day. The Utopia equine won the same event in 1980 with Lewis in the irons but was held out of the 1981 race when Lewis suffered a heart attack. This year, both horse and rider were sound as mules and team to win by a half-length. The runnerup was Arab, owned by Sunny Palomario of Camp Wood with Stan the Roofing Man in the saddle.

Third was Bobbie from the host Shahan Ranch with Abon Jaimes as the rider Fourth went to Tuffy of Camp Wood with Nancy Thompson as the jockey. Bob Gray of Del Rio was the finish line judgo host Happy Shan called the race.
