National League roundup Cubs collect 2 hits, lose 2-1 to Dodgers CHICAGO (UPI) Chicago Cubs manager Jim Marshall improvised a baseball maxim today. "There aren't very many clubs that can make one run a day win games," he said. His proposition was presented after the Cubs scored one run for the second straight game and lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 even though pitcher Bill Bonham and reliever Darold Knowles allowed only five hits. The Dodgers' twosome, starter Don Sutton and reliever Mike Marshall, allowed only two hits, and Sutton was replaced for pinch hitter Bill Buckner after six innings of one-hit ball. "It's tough to take a guy out when he's only given up one hit," Dodger Manager Walt Alston said, "but you've got to think of the club and not the individual and Sutton's been around long enough to know this." His strategy worked since Buckner singled, scoring Steve Yeager from third base.

Yeager had reached second without a hit on Bill Madlock's throwing error and advanced to third on an infield out. The Dodgers' winning run came in the eighth when Lee Lacy opened with a triple which curved away from Cubs rightfielder Jerry Morales and rolled to the right field corner. Lacy scored on John Hale's long sacrifice fly. The Cubs' only run came when Madlock tripled the only hit off Sutton and scored on Jose Cardenal's sacrifice fly. Mike Marshall took over for Sutton and got his ninth win on a three inning performance, also allowing just one hit.

"All three pitchers pitched good," Alston said. "Marshall loosened up a little bit after the first inning and he pitched better, but he's been working hard." That rumble heard 'round the National League East Tuesday night was the Pirate batsmen returning home. Home to Pittsburgh and home to undisputed first place. "Anthing we did before tonight had no bearing on how I pitched," said Jerry Reuss, who in hurling the Pirates back to a one-game lead in the NL East with a 4-0 shutout over the San Francisco Giants, snapped a personal three-game losing streak. "Tonight we got hits and these are the Pirates that I know.

The Pirates, returning home after a American League roundup disastrous 2-12 road trip, rapped out 10 hits against the Giants including solo homers by Al Oliver and Richie Zisk. Reuss, meanwhile, yielded only three hits as the "stopper" of Pittsburgh's six-game losing streak. Sporting a 10-day beard, Reuss struck out six and improved his record to 13-9. He got all the runs he needed in the third when Rennie Stennett singled and came home on a double by Oliver. Oliver later scored on Dave Parker's single.

Elsewhere in the National League Tuesday, Atlanta upset Philadelphia 6-4, New York put away Houston 6-3, St. Louis edged Cincinnati 21, and Montreal blanked San Diego 5-0. Braves 6, Phillies 4 Pinch-hitter Dave May belted a two-out two- run homer in the ninth inning off reliever Gene Garber as Atlanta knocked Philadelphia out of tie with Pittsburgh for first in the NL East. Greg Luzinksi had four hits and an RBI, his 99th, for the Phils, who blew an early 4-0 lead. Max Leon gained the victory with 6 1-3 innings of shutout relief.

Cardinals 2, Reds 1 Ted Simmons and Ted Sizemore each singled home a run and Lynn McGlothen yielded just four hits in helping St. Louis snap a nine-game Cincinnati winning streak. The third place Cardinals, still games back in the NL East, also got a big night from Willie Davis. Davis, having cleared up his alimony problems, was 4-for-4 upon returning to the lineup. Mets 6, Astros 3 Del Unser and Wayne Garrett stroked homers and New York, keeping pace in the tightened up NL East, spoiled the Houston managerial debut of Bill Virdon.

Virdon was named to replace Preston Gomez as Astros' manager shortly before gametime. Jon Matlack, making his first start since Aug. 2 because of injuries suffered in an automobile accident, went 8 2-3 innings for the victory. Expos 5, Padres 0 Rookie Larry Parrish doubled home two runs in the first inning and Steve Rogers scattered 10 bits to give Montreal its shutout win over San Diego. Rogers, 10-9, struck out eight in hurling his ninth complete game.

Pete Mackanin also had a solo homer for the Expos in the eighth. Angels topple Brewers in 15-inning marathon ANAHEIM (UPI) When Mike Miley, the former Louisiana State quarterback, arrived in the big leagues from Salt Lake City the week before the All-Star break, California Angels' skipper Dick Williams said: "I don't care what he hits. All he has to do is make the routine play." Miley, 22, has taken care of Williams' defensive needs at shortstop but he has been lacking at the plate. He entered Tuesday night's game with Milwaukee Brewers with a .170 batting average. But the slick-fielding rookie collected his 23rd and 24th major league hits and the second, a home run to lead off the bottom of the 15th inning, provided California with a 5-4 victory.

"I needed that," smiled Miley. "It's pretty obvious I haven't been hitting particularly well." His third big league homer came off Rick Austin's first pitch of the inning and sailed oyer the left field wall to end a marathon that took four hours and two minutes. Mickey Scott, who was purchased from the Baltimore Orioles last October, pitched three scoreless innings in relief of lefthander Frank Tanana to improve his record to 4-1. Williams wasn't around for Miley's heroics. He was ejected in the top of the 13th by home plate umpire Joe Brinkman for arguing on a pitch on a 3-2 count with Bill Sharp at bat.

"We're not supposed to criticize umpires but in this case I'm not criticizing an umpire," said the California manager. "That was the worst ball and strike calling I've seen in my pro career." The Brewers went ahead 4-3 in the seventh on Bobby Mitchell's two-run homer but the Angels tied the score in the bottom of the inning on singles by Lee Stanton, pinch-hitter Bobby Valentine and Miley. The win gave California, which faces Milwaukee in a day game today, an 8-4 record during its current homestand. The i impact of rookie Fred Lynn on the Boston Red Sox this season can be easily summed up in three letters- MVP. In the history of baseball there has never been a first- year player who has won the Most Valuable Player Award in either major league, but the 23- year-old outfielder of the Boston Red Sox continues to perform in a way that will be difficult to overlook when the American League MVP voters cast their ballots at the end of the regular season.

"He's the best young all- around player to come through this league in a long, long time," Manager Whitey Herzog of Kansas City said of Lynn Tuesday night after watching the Red Sox' rookie lead Boston to a 4-0 victory over the Royals. The triumph boosted Boston's lead to eight games over Baltimore, which lost to Minnesota 5 -2, in the AL East. Lynn showed off his hitting and running ability against the Royals Tuesday night. He doubled in the sixth inning and, after taking off for third base on Jim Rice's grounder to third, scored when first baseman John Mayberry's return throw to third went wild. In the seventh, after Yast- rzemski walked, Lynn blasted his 20th homer to give the Red Sox a couple of valuable insurance runs.

Supported by Lynn's heavy hitting, southpaw Bill Lee went the distance, allowing only four hits, to gain his 16th victory against seven losses. Lynn's overall batting credentials are unmatched my any player in the AL this year. He stands first in the league in runs batted in with 88, first in runs scored with 78, second in batting average with .333, second in doubles with 31, is tied for fourth in triples with six and tied for sixth in homers. In other AL games, Texas nipped Cleveland 2-1, Chicago edged New York 7-6 in 11 innings, and Detroit defeated Oakland 3-1. Twins 5, Orioles 2 Bert Blyleven tossed a five- hitter as Minnesota stopped Baltimore for the second straight night.

Blyleven retired the first 13 batters in order and finished with eight strikeouts to raise his record to 13-6. Jerry Terrell had three hits and scored twice to pace the Twins' attack. Rangers 2, Indians 1 Jim Spencer's solo homer in the seventh inning and the hitless relief pitching of Steve Foucault sparked Texas over Cleveland. Spencer's 10th homer was only one of five hits the Rangers got off rookie Dennis Eckersley. Foucault pitched 2 2-3 innings of hitless relief to protect Jim Umbarger's sixth victory.

White Sox 7, Yankees 6 Jorge Orta singled home the winning run in the 11th inning to give Chicago its victory over New York. The White Sox tied the score at 6-6 in the seventh on Bucky Dent's three-run homer. Pete Varney had his first major league homer for Chicago while Graig Nettles homered for New York. Tigers 3, A's 1 Aurelio Rodriguez and Ron LeFlcre singled home runs in the fifth inning to spark Detroit over Oakland for its fourth consecutive victory after a 19- game losing streak. Mickey Lolich scattered nine hits in going the distance for his 11th win.

"We're glad to have him or we wouldn't have traded for him in the first place," said Harland Svare, Chargers general manager. The players the Chargers dropped were running back Tommy Thompson, guard Chris Mackie, wide receiver Ike McBee and Gene Killian, the offensive lineman who failed his San Diego physical examination after being claimed from Dallas last week. The Chargers obtained the negotiating rights to Carter 19 months ago when they dealt quarterback Wayne Clark to Cincinnati.

Carter, who has a degree in statistical and engineering sciences from Brigham Young University and a master's degree in mathematics from Northwestern, wrote a thesis for a doctorate on "Probabilities in Respect to Operational Research in Football." He arrived here from Chicago Monday night and passed a physical examination. He suffered a broken finger on his right, or passing, hand with the Chicago Fire of the World Football League last year. He was out in 1973 with a broken shoulder. "With what I had to go through last year, it's healed, believe me," Carter said of his shoulder. "There's no denying I've had my share of broken bones, of bumps and bruises." He noted the Chargers' 'had only 23 sacks'' in 1974 and said, "I like to think I check out a decision before I make it." Carter led Cincinnati to a 31-0 win over the Chargers in 1971, the year he topped the NFL with a completion percentage of 62.2.

After the 1972 season, he let the option on his Cincinnati contract lapse. He signed with San Diego as a free agent. Tough job ahead Astros select Virdon as new field manager HOUSTON (UPI) Should the Houston Astros win the World Series in the near future, historians no doubt will mark the walk Tal Smith made across Bill Virdon's backyard as the turning point. The Houston team, as newly annointed Astros Smith and Virdon know, is nowhere near pennant material. But both men like to think it soon could be.

And in any case the fate of the team is in the hands of the two after Smith, the new general manager, Tuesday named Virdon his field manager. The two were in similar roles with the New York Yankees the past two years when Smith was executive vice president and Virdon was manager. The two were also neighbors in a wooded section of Oyster Bay, Long Island. "I know now what Texans mean when they say damn yankees," Virdon joked after the announcement that he would replace Preston Gomez. He recalled his unexpected visit from Smith.

Gaters win WTT division championship SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) The Golden Gaters downed the Phoenix Racquets 26-20 Tuesday night to take the World Team Tennis Western Division crown by winning their second straight match in the best-of- three series. The Gaters now meet the Pittsburgh Triangles, the Eastern winners, Thursday night in the first match for the championship. The Cow Palace match went down to the mixed doubles set with Gaters Frew McMillian and Betty Stove downing Tony Roche and Kris Shaw 3-1. Miss Stove won the women's singles from Francois Durr, 61, to give the Gaters a 23-19 lead. The Bay Area team needed only three games to clinch the match in the mixed finale.

Tom Okker won the men's singles 7-5 over Andrew Patterson of Phoenix and in the women's doubles Shaw and Durr defeated liana Kloss and Anne Kiyomura 7-6, by winning the tiebreaker 5-3. Patterson- Roche downed Okker- McMillian in the men's doubles, 6 -4. BILL VIRDON (UPI Telephoto) "I really didn't expect to get a call from Tal," said Virdon, "but when I saw him coming across the lawn (Monday afternoon), I had a good feeling." It didn't take Virdon long to decide he would accept Smith's offer of a contract through 1976. "I said, 'Let's Virdon said. He became the seventh manager of a team which has never won a pennant and which is on the skids toward the worst season ever.

Houston lost No. 81 Tuesday night in Virdon's debut and there are 33 left 11 with Cincinnati and Los Angeles. "We're going to try to be a spoiler the rest of the way," Virdon said, "but I'm going to evaluate the talent -first and look toward 1976." Jon Matlack, the New York Mets' lefty who defeated Houston in Virdon's debut, had a word for the Astros' players. "He doesn't take anything off anybody," Matlack said. "He is one of the fairest men I have ever met and the best manager I've ever been associated with." Virdon got his first managerial job with the Pirates, a team he played with for nine years.

He managed the 1972 Buc team to a pennant, but was fired late the next year- with Pittsburgh three games out of first place. He left the Yankees this season with the team 10 games out after leading them to a second place finish his first year. "Obviously, I think he was the most qualified and the best candidate to direct the Astros in the future," Smith said. "Bill has been a winner as a player, he's been a winner as a manager amd I'm confident in the future he will be able to direct a winner here in Houston."

Redlands Blvd. Veteran auto racer Mark Donohue dies GRAZ, Austria (UPI) Loner Mark Donohue, his loyalty to Roger Penske and a compulsion to win pushing him into Grand Prix racing after he already had quit the sport, died Tuesday night of complications that arose following an operation to remove a blood clot from his brain. Donohue, 38, in search of his first Grand Prix victory after a career of 57 triumphs on the North American circuit, crashed Sunday during a practice run for the Austrian Grand was hospitalized after complaining of headaches at the track. X-rays taken at Landes Grankenhaus Hospital revealed a blood clot which dictated immediate surgery. Donohue remained unconscious and in serious condition following the surgery and died at about 7 p.m.

than 12 hours after veteran stock car driver Dewayne "Tiny" Lund was buried following fatal injuries Sunday in a six-car crash at the Talladega 500. A third racing-related death occurred earlier Tuesday when Manfred Schaller, a track official who was hurt when Donohue's vehicle blew a tire and crashed into a metal guard rail, passed away from internal injuries. Penske flew to London Sunday upon hearing of Donohue's accident and reportedly brought one of Europe's leading neurosurgeons to Austria to look in on his No. 1 driver. Penske and Donohue's wife, Eden, staged a bedside vigil at the Austrian hospital.

Donohue had driven exclusively since 1966 for Penske, his friend and longtime associate. But Donohue decided to quit while on top and announced his retirement after winning the International Race of Champions at Daytona Beach, on Feb. 15, "I've accomplished just about everything that I hoped to in racing," Donohue said at the time. "I'm 37 years old and I'm not going to get any better." But the one unconquered Formula One circuit Donohue back into competition and there were dreams in the Penske camp that Donohue would become the first American since Phil Hill to win the world driving championship. The Donohue-Penske team debuted last year at the Canadian Grand Prix at Mos- port, Ontario, but the Penske car never reached the factory's potential and Donohue never finished better than fifth in any 1975 Grand Prix race.

Labeled a "loner," Donohue denied that he refused to make close friends for fear they might die in racing accidents. He was a quiet man, dedicated to his job and often spoke in low tones. The Media, native made his Indianapolis debut in 1969, finishing seventh and earning Rookie of the Year honors. He was second to Al Unser at Indy in 1970, won the the Pocono 500 Track strike at Caliente costs plenty TIJUANA, Mexico (UPI) Caliente Racetrack officials report that the track has lost an estimated $2.5 million in betting receipts since 2,000 track employes went out on strike in a contract dispute nine days ago. Racing Director Jack" Meyers said Tuesday the combined loss of greyhound, thoroughbred and foreign book operations would continue to mount if a state conciliatory court failed to rule the strike illegal and order the strikers back to work.

Meyers said court officials did not expect a ruling until the end of the week because of the complicated nature of the dispute. Negotiations have continued despite the strike.

He won 49 races in a spectacular career that also included the Can-American championship, three Trans- American titles, two United States road racing crowns and one in stock car racing. Donohue, who graduated from Brown University with an engineering degree, suffered serious knee injuries in 1972 in a sports car practice accident at Road Atlanta, that cost him a chance for the title. He won the series the following year in a same car he was to set a world speed record in at Talladega, Ala. in July, 1975. Donohue is survived by his wife and two sons, Michael and David.

McAuitffe replaces AWOL Rico Petrocelli BOSTON (UPI) Rico Petrocelli, who returned to Boston Sunday without notifying the Boston Red Sox management, has been placed on the disabled list because of an ear problem. "Petrocelli was examined today by Dr. Alfred E. Weiss of the Massachusetts Eye Ear Infirmary who found some balance problems created in the middle ear," Red Sox spokesman Bill Crowley said Tuesday. "It's probably a holdover from the time he was hit last Sept.

15." Petrocelli was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday. He has complained at various times this season of headaches and dizziness. Petrocelli and Carl Yastr- zemski are the only players left with Boston from the Red Sox team which won the American League pennant in 1967. This year, Boston is in first place in the American League East. The Red Sox recalled retired infielder Dick McAuliffe, 35, manager of the club's Bristol, Eastern League farm team, to fill in at third base.

Petrocelli did not tell Manager Darrell Johnson he was leaving before a game in Chicago Sunday but Red Sox General Manager Dick O'Connell said Tuesday disciplinary action probably wouldn't be taken. "We don't feel he has done anything wrong. He probably should have spoken to the manager before he left Sunday. But he spoke to the manager the day before, so he probably figured he had told him what he had to," O'Connell said. McAuliffe, who retired at the end of 1974, replaced Petrocelli briefly near the end of last season after Petrocelli was struck in the head by a pitch thrown by Jim Slaton of the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Petrocelli, who was hitting .254 before leaving the team, was fitted with glasses earlier this season after having trouble keeping his eye on the ball at the plate. He wore them for batting practice and in a few games, but they apparently did not solve his difficulties. McAuliffe, a .250 lifetime hitter, played with the Tigers from 1961-73 before being acquired by the Red Sox last season. Crowley said McAuliffe, who has not played since retiring, had been taking batting and fielding practice for the past two days in possible preparation for being recalled. "There's been a lot of speculation about who we might get to replace Petrocelli," said Crowley.

"But I don't think anybody thought it would be McAuliffe, including McAuliffe." Dent captures PGA long-drive championship FORT WORTH, Tex. (UPI) Jim Dent successfully defended his PGA Long Driving Title Tuesday with a 317 yard drive in competition held in conjunction with the second annual Tournament Players Division Championship. Dent, who kept his drive within the 40-yard wide fairway at the Colonial Country Club, picked up a paycheck of $5,000 for the effort. Tour rookie George Cadle finished second with a 316-yard drive and Evan Williams, a PGA member who does not regularly play on the tour, finished third with a 314-yard effort. Cadle captured $2,500 and Williams won $1,000.

Ten golfers drove the ball 300 yards or better but none of the top 29 money winners on this year's tour chose to compete. Dent is currently 67th on the PGA money list with $31,620. LA BOD6GA WINES SPIRITS 1090 W. COLTON AVE. REDLANDS 792-7050 RON RICO PUERTA RICAN RUM SPECIAL 2 -gal.
