Lonborg, 12-6, took the loss philosophically. "Why dwell on the negative?" he said. "If something bad happens in one game, think about the next one." A sore spot in Lonborg's gray matter, no doubt, will be Pete La-Cock's two-run homer in the first inning that helped the Cubs to a 3-0 lead before the 9,525 fans had gotten even a mild case of windburn on the raw afternoon. "I threw him a slider that flattened out," said Lonborg.

After squandering a bases-loaded threat in the first, the Phils got two off Bonham in the third when Dave Cash and Larry Bowa singled, Mike Schmidt doubled and Greg Luzinski grounded out. Then came Johnstone and Mad-dox's non-contribution. In the fifth, Schmidt muscled a Bonham fast ball to the wall in left where Champ Summers made the catch while nestling in the ivy. A strong gust of wind helped keep the ball in the park. "I'm surprised it went that far," said Schmidt.

"I got jammed on the pitch and almost broke the bat." The game's key run came in the sixth when the Cubs used back -to-back bloop doubles by Manny Trillo and George Mitterwald to produce their fourth run. The run prompted Ozark to lift Lonborg for a pinchhitter in the seventh. "If we'd been one down instead of two, I'd have left Lonnie in," said the manager. "He was throwing good and you don't want to waste a pitcher if you don't have to."

If it is, I think I can break the record again. I'm so strong now, it's ridiculous." About that time, the blond Stones looked down at his right hand and saw the fast-food cheeseburger in it. He admitted he had better lay off that sort of thing if the record is going to materialize. After his June effort, he said one reason he had managed to break his own record after several years was that he had given up "junk food." Yesterday, though, on the way to the Penn campus from the airport, Stones and the group he was Anderson leads State Open golf By RAY FINOCCHIARO Staff Correspondent CHICAGO The Cubs are alive and well and winning in Chicago. The Phillies, winners of three straight, are, well, dying to score a runner from third base.

The Cubs won their sixth game in their last seven tries, a 4-2 decision over Jim Lonborg and the Phils, yesterday at Wrigley Field. The Phils, who stranded nine baserunners against winner Bill Bonham (7-9) and Joe Coleman, left three of them on third base. "One time all we needed was a ground ball to score," said frustrated manager Danny Ozark. "Another time, we get a ground ball and still don't score." Both times Jay Johnstone was the culprit in Ozark's eyes. Johnstone flied to shallow center with Mike Schmidt on third after the Phils had scored twice to make it 3-2 in the third.

Schmidt stayed glued to third when Garry Maddox, who had left three men on base in the first, fouled out to the catcher. In the eighth, Johnstone led off with a double to right, was balked to third by Coleman with none out and never scored. After Maddox struck out, Tommy Hut-ton grounded to first and Johnstone barely moved toward the plate. The baserunning hero of Sunday's 7-6 win over the Mets, Johnstone quickly ran himself into the goat's role. "Jay should've scored," said Ozark, who rarely raps a player.

"They were giving us the run. A one-legged guy could've scored on that ball." That was a reference to the knee Johnstone banged up somersault- Seven vets are axed by Eagles CHESTER. Pa. The Philadelphia Eagles, who suffered a 20-7 loss to the San Diego Chargers in their exhibition season opener Saturday, cut 16 players, including a host of veterans, from their roster yesterday. The Eagles are within two of the mandatory 60-player limit each NFL team is required to reach by today.

Among the veterans released were running back Po James, linebacker John Babinecz, guard Bill Lueck, wide receiver Ben Hawkins, running back George Amundson, defensive end Don Ratliff and defensive tackle Roosevelt Manning. James, beginning his fifth NFL season, was the Eagles fourth-round draft choice from New Mexico State in 1972. "Hawkins, who spent nine years previously with the Eagles, was trying to return to the NFL after spending the last two seasons in the now-defunct World Football League.

Walter Tul-lis, a former Delaware State receiver, was one of 12 Washington Redskins players placed on waivers yesterday to reduce the training camp roster to the required 60.

Tullis, the Redskins' No. 12 draft choice from Hartford, only played four games last season when he suffered a broken leg against Maryland Eastern Shore. Heading the list was tight end Mike Hancock, a third-year veteran who was out with injuries last year. Also dropped were linebacker Marty Huff and wide receiver Joe Wylie from the defunct World Football League and No. 10 draft choice Paul Strowmeier.

The others waived were tight end Bob Christiansen, guards Scott Dannelly and Rodney Elam, running back Felix Lobdell, center John Matlock, kicker Dave Strock and linebacker Dennis Ianovale. rain riding with stopped off at a fast-food restaurant -and he stocked up "for the first time in months."

Anderson, who'll be 45 next month, put on a dazzling putting exhibition, including a successful 30-footer of the 11th for his first eagle.

He three-putted just once. Two rounds remain to be played, though, and Anderson isn't sure how he'll handle the pressure. "It's hard to say, I've never been in this position before," he said, having not won a tournament since he took the club championship at Wilmington C.C. two years ago. "All I'll try to do is make par and keep putting like I did today." If he doesn't, Osberg is right behind him.

The Maple Dale member is the only man ever to win the Open more than once. He's gone away with the top honors the past two years as a pro, and earlier won the tournament as an amateur. Like Anderson, Osberg finished the front nine with a one-under-par 35. And like Anderson, he couldn't salvage a par on the 10th See ANDERSON Page 27 Soviets quit diving meet HANOVER, N.H. (UPI) The Soviet Union, angered by the defection of diver Sergei Nemt-sanov, withdrew Sunday from a United States-USSR dual diving meet scheduled at Dartmouth College.

The Russian team was called home immediately after the Olympic Games, said Dartmouth Athletic Director Seaver Peters. The Russians had threatened to pull out of the games before they were over because of Nemt sanov's disappearance. Peters said he received a call Sunday from the United States contact with the Soviet team, R. Jackson Smith of New York, "He (Jackson) had called Sunday morning at nine o'clock to say all was go. Then he called about four o'clock in the afternoon saying he had just received a call to say the Russian delegation had been ordered home," Peters said.

By GARY MULLINAX Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA Dwight Stones strolled through the gates that led to the Franklin Field track. He smiled. After several miserable days at the Olympics in Montreal, the gates might have seemed pearly to Stones and that small group of joggers and media might have looked like the heavenly host itself.

The Hell-Bent-FoV-Leather Award to the New Zealand field hockey team which skipped the post-game news conference after winning the gold and roared off in a bus towards the nearest pub. At the Olympics, Stones had his life threatened, presumably because of remarks he made about Canada's handling of the Olympics. On top of that, the world record holder in the high jump managed only a bronze medal after rain washed out his chances for anything better.

Stones and many other Olympic athletes are here for tomorrow's Bicentennial Meet of Champions.

(Staff photo by Donaghey Brown) By TOM COBOURN Ask Harry Anderson who he picks as the favorites for this year's Delaware State Open Golf Championship at Delcastle Golf Course and he will tell you Rick Osberg or Dave Corzilius. "You got to figure them to be in there," said the Wilmington Country Club member, adding, "they've played a lot more golf than me." But after yesterday's first round of the three-day affair, Harry "The Horse" leads Osberg by two strokes and Corzilius by four. "This is the best round I've ever played," the former Philadelphia Phillie admitted. "I've never come close to winning it (the Open)." On the front nine, Anderson played par golf, except on the third hole he scored a birdie.

On the back, however, he parred just two holes in coming in with a three-under-par 33 for a 68 total. He bogeyed the 10th (hooking his tee shot under a tree), the 13th (three-putting) and the 17th.
