Pose 2 Section Woho Stole Jou'nol CARDINALS WIN, 2 A IDAHO, A 18, 1974 Foxy Brock Harasses Pirates By BEKT ROSEXTHAL AH Sports Writer Even in a tired condition. Lou Brock, the St. Louis Cardinals' base-stealing wizard, can outfox the slyest pitchers in the National League. Brock used his feet and his brains to weave his magic against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Jerry Reuss Tuesday night, and his feats of prestidigitation produced a 2-1 St. Louis victory in 13 innings that stretched the streaking Cardinals' lead to 2', 2 games over the slumping Pirates in the NL East pennant race.

That was the Pirates' problem in the 13th-- they couldn't keep Brock off the bases. He opened the inning with a single, and after Reuss threw six consecutive times to first base, he stole second easily. It extended his single-season record to 109 stolen bases and lifted him into second place on the all-time list with 744, one ahead of Eddie Collins, who played from 19061930, mostly with the Philadelphia Athletics. The all-time stolen base leader is the immortal Ty Cobb with 892. Meanwhile, in the NL West, first-place Los Angeles and runner-up Cincinnati both lost, leaving the Dodgers 2'2 games ahead of the Reds.

The Houston Astros beat the Dodgers 7-0 and the San Diego Padres whipped the Heds fi-1 Elsewhere in the NL, the Chicago Cubs downed the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2, the Atlanta Braves topped the San Francisco Giants 4-3, and the New York Mets at Montreal Expos game was postponed because of wet grounds. Astros 7, Dodgers 0 Houston's Tom Griffin handcuffed NL West-leading Los Angeles on five hits for his third shutout of the season and 14th victory. Lee May drove in three Houston runs with his 24th homer and a sacrifice fly, and Doug Rader smashed his 17th homer. Padres6, Reds 1 San Diego also received strong pitching from Bill Grief in beating Cincinnati and jolting the Reds' pennant hopes. Grief allowed only six hits.

Meanwhile, the Padres, led by Dave Winfield, tagged Cincinnati's 19-game winner Jack Billingham for five runs and eight hits in less than three innings. Winfield cracked a two- run single and his 18th homer. Cubs Phillies 2 Don Kessinger was virtually the entire offense for the Cubs, either driving in or scoring all of Chicago's runs. He walked in the first inning and came home on Peter Laoock's double. Then in the fifth, he doubled in two runs and scored on Jose Cardenal's single.

"We'll fight when he's healthy and not before," said Foreman's trainer, Dick Sadler, whose admananl posture now raises the most serious of several obstacles to the rescheduled fight between Foreman and Muhammad Ali. The government of Zaire re- grelfuliy anounced Tuesday the postponement of its show of shows, the title -fight between Foreman and Ali, from Sept 25 to Oct. 23 because of the deep one-inch gash the heavyweight champion suffered over his right eye Monday.

But, with the heavyweight uiampionship crown hanging in the balance, Sadler was not committing himself to a particular date, just a healthy George Foreman. "Don't put too much confidence in that Oct. 23 date," Sadler told a news conference here Tuesday, adding that it was "too early to say" when his lighter would be ready. "We hope it can be around the 23rd or the 30th" of October, but he later told reporters "it could be two (months)," which would push back the fight to the end of November. will take three or four days to tell if there's any infection or how it's healing because the wound has to heal from inside.

In the States, you know, you can't box for 30 days after a cut." The new date for Zaire's boxing spectacular, sporting the highest ring price tag ever $30 million was announced by the African nation's main fight official, Bula Mandungu. He said Sadler's reluctance to flatly accept the new date was understandable, but added he was sure the fight would be held on Oct. 23. Mandungu's government has poured massive sums of money into the bout, hoping to use it as a springboard to increased i a i a respect and recognition. Foreman, the seemingly invincible champion who pounded Ihe heavyweight crown off Joe Frazier's head 20 months ago in Jamaica, then secured it for himself with rapid knockouts of challengers Joe "King" Roman and Ken Norton, was cut Monday in a sparring session with 36-year-old Bill McMurray.

It was Foreman's blood trickling from the one-inch horizontal gash between his right eye and eyebrow but he wasn't the only person seeing red. Don King, the mastermind behind the marriage between Zaire and the heavyweight title fight, said the month delay- would cost the promoters $500,000.

I a A A addition to the Boise State University football stadium will cost about $200,000 more than expected, according lo architect Ned Adams.

Adams made the statement after bids were opened Tuesday afternoon. Officials said the apparent low bidder was MGM Construction Co. of Salt Lake City, which bid $1.529,000 for the stadium addition and for an addition to the Varsity Center. The total MGM bid. including several small projects, was 51,833,700.

Officials said they were considering the bids. The project would add an upper deck to the east side of the stadium to match one already over the west side. Officials said that would add about 4,000 more seats. New office space and ticket sales areas would be included in the expansion of the Varsity Center, the athletic department office complex. In a single year the energy that reaches Ihe earth surface is equal to the energy from burning 120 trillion tons of By HOWARD S1NER AP Sports Writer The World Football League, i spots to veterans recently dropped by the National Football League, returns to action tonight with a cast of familiar players in different uniforms.

"I don't look at playing in the World Football League as a comedown," said Leroy Kelly, the fourth-leading ground gainer in NFL history, after being signed Tuesday by the Chicago Fire. "What brings me to Chicago? Money, dough," said Kelly. "The Mean Green, my man, is where it is all at." A Fire spokesman said Kelly, cut last week by the NFL Oakland Raiders after a long career with the Cleveland Browns, had an outside shot at starting against the visiting Memphis Southmen. In other WFL games tonight, New York is at the Hawaiians, Detroit at Southern California, Philadelphia at Florida and Portland at Jacksonville. Hous' ton at Birmingham is Thursday's national TV game.

"We have to keep our chins up and keep fighting, and this will be a real tough one," said Fire coach Jim Spavital about Memphis. The Fire, 7-4, has dropped two games in a row on last minute defeats. The Southmen, 9-2, have seven consecutive victories. Against New York, 7-4, the Hawaiians, 3-8, plan to start quarterback Ed Hargett, who began the season with the NFL Houston Oilers. He threw two scoring passes last week for the Hawaiians.

The Honolulu club might also use two former New York Giants players quarterback Randy Johnson and cornerback Willie Williams. New faces are common on the rosters of both Southern California, 7-4, and Detroit, 1-10. Both clubs jumped on former NFL players. Wide receiver Dick Witcher of the San Francisco 49ers was signed by the Sun, for instance. The Wheels added former Atlanta tackle Jim Coode and for- mer Pittsburgh linebacker Brian Stenger.

Philadelphia, 5-6, said defensive end Rick Cash, New England's former player representative, will face Florida, 7-4. Newly sold Jacksonville, 4-7, will have to figure out how to stop ex-NFL passer Pele Beathard of Portland, 2-8-1. Beathard got off to a slow start last week, running only three plays for the Storm. By FRED HOTHENBERG AP Sports Writer As Jim Palmer painfully found out this season, (he Cy Young Award doesn'l do anything for a sore arm. Palmer helped salvage some of whal's lefl of his long season with a masterful seven-hil shutout Tuesday night, pitching the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-0 victory over the New York Yankees.

It was a crucial game for the Orioles since a loss would have dropped them 3'i games behind the high-flying Y'ankees in the American League East. Stars Acquire DenverCager SALT LAKE CITY (AP)The Utah Stars have acquired Al Smith, who led the American Basketball Association in assists with an average of 8.1 per game last season with the Denver Nuggets, for a high and an undisclosed amount of cash, the ABA club said. Smith, an All-Missouri Valley Conference selection while at Bradley University, was to join Ihe Slars' rookie and free agent camp immediately. In his three years with Denver, the 6-1, 195-pound Smith averaged 10.4 points and 5.6 assists per game. Elsewhere in the American League, the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox 5-3; the Kansas City Royals edged Ihe Oakland A's 2-1; the Milwaukee Brewers shaded the Cleveland Indians 3-2; the Minnesota Twins punished the Chicago White Sox 8-0, and the California Angels-Texas Rangers game was rained out.

Palmer's victory, his seventh in 19 decisions, moved the Orioles within 1'z games of the Yankees. The pressure shifted back and forth Tuesday night as Palmer and Yankee ace, Doc Medich. 18-14, matched zeroes for six innings. Bui Elrod Hendricks doubled wilh one out in the seventh, took third on Mark Belanger's bunt single when Medich was slow covering first, and just beat leftfielder Lou Piniella's throw to the plate on Al Bumbry's sacrifice fly for the only run Palmer needed. Tigers 5, Red Sox 3 Al Kaline would love to end his career this season but before he does there's a litlle matter of seven more hits.

That's all Kaline needs to join a very exclusive club, the hil club. So far only 11 players hold keys to the fraternity. Kaline's hit sparked a sixth-inning rally which lifted the Tigers to their victory over the faltering Red Sox, dropping them 3' 2 games behind the first- place Yankees in the AL East. 2, A's 1 Steve Busby's 20lh win, a tidy three-hitter, stopped the defending champion A's in their tracks. Busby, 20-14, yielded two singles to Bill North and one to Joe Rudi.

George Brett's scoring single up Ihe middle in the seventh made Busby a winner over Jim "Catfish" Hunter, 23-12. Brewers 3. Indians 2 Darrell Porter's 12th home' run and a pinch single by Bob Hansen produced two seventh- inning runs to tilt the victory in Milwaukee's favor. Twins 8, White Sox 0 Vic Albury scattered six hits and Minnesota, helped by a wild pitch and a pair of errors during a six-run first inning, blanked the White Sox. It was the Twins' ninth in their past 11 games and hiked Albury's record to 78.

Stan Bahnsen, 11-15, took the loss. in Says He's Quitting JIM MURRAY Fleming Walks Diamond Trail c-Los Angeles Times SALT LAKE CITY (API- Utah Stars General Manager Arnie Ferrin said late Tuesday night he will leave his post with the American Basketball Association team in about two weeks. Ferrin indicated in a telephone interview "with The Associated Press from his home in Ogden, Utah, that uncertainty about the Stars' future in Utah and the possibility of his receiving part ownership of the Stars have prompted his action. Ferrin said he will accept a post at the University of Utah where he will become assistant to the vice president in charge of public service, a new program designed to give the university a statewide outreach. He said he and James Collier, one of the new owners of the Utah Stars, "have been working on a setup involving part ownership of the team- something that 'vouid allow me to keep my hand in the Stars organization and yet do something on another level." here a long time.

Without a merger, it will be a very difficult thing," Ferrin said. He said he and Collier had been "kicking this thing around for about two or three weeks." "My committment to Mr. Collier was to have everything in shape before I leave. I think I've about wound up my duties and should be able to move up there (to the university) in about two weeks--probably by October 1st."

Larry Csonka, and Joe a a tend to come up a lot. When you bring up the subject of the 'greatest Super Bowl player, there's no contest. There have been VIII Super Bowls, and Man- Fleming has been in of them. No mailer how they number them, old No. LXXX is in them.

He has so many Super Bowl rings he looks like a fence. He's made more money out of Ihe game than J. V. Spalding. Marvin Fleming was a tight end on the old Green Bay Packers.

That was a liltle like being stroke oar on the old Roman galleys--Ihe head oar slave. Vince Lombardi's power- packed "run-to-daylight" offense depended on the tight end to make daylight When you play for five Super Bowl teams and four are world champions, you might expect a shower of touchdowns. But Fleming has scored only 15- only THREE i Ihe Miami Dolphins. He gets his hand on the ball just oftener than the club dentist. He could play in boxing gloves.

When the term "light end" first burst on football some years ago, most people thought it was a condition, nol a position, a it referred to the off-the-field activities of the players so identified. lint Marv Fleming was one of Ihe men who turned the position into an art form, who filled the peculiar requisites which one man once described as requiring a player who was "half-elf, half-elephant." You have to be big enough In be a sixth lineman-and fast enough lo be a sixth back. At Green Bay, Marv had to fit in the footsteps of a mastodon, Ron Kramer, who frequently scored touchdowns with half the student body draped over his back. Marv had to be able lo run patterns half-way to Milwaukee and back, i down linebackers and safetymen en route. Lombard! loved to yell at him because Fleming is not your breat-beating, cigar-chomping, clue-bearded bully of a light end.

He's so soft-spoken he sounds like he's going to confession. He's so squeamish at the sight of blood that Csonka, after one year, said he had lo stop bleeding on Fleming's shoes because he Ihoughl Marv was going to faint. He co-authored books with titles Mind Garden." It's hardly the Joe Namath Irue- confession of although Joe and Marvin have one thing in common --they're both bachelors. (Ebonv magazine once voted him the most eligible bachelor, and from the appearances of Marvin's Marina del Key lifestyle, he has no intention c-f Idling his eligibility run out. For one thing, he'll have to make sure they're not after him for his diamonds.) "For winning, you begin with atlitude.

You take for granted aptitudes." says Fleming, who looks in poor light like a De Beers commercial. "Lombardi was a large par! of my winning attitude. He didn't like you to lose even a cuff link. It jusl wasn't part of his vocabulary." When Fleming played out his option at Green Bay. Don Shula, another coach who likes to skip light through all Ihe words beginning wilh "I's" in the dictionary, snapped him up wilh alacrity, dealing off a highly- successful wide receiver, Jack Clancy, to do so.

It was no surprise then when Miami broke Ihe all-lime single- season rushing record with 2,960 yards a couple of seasons later, breaking a 36-year-old mark. (Buffalo, with O.J. Simpson gaining 2,003 yards of it, broke Miami's record the following year with 3.088). With Fleming. Norm Evans and Larry Litlle.

Ferrin said he expects "economic considerations" to force an annual debate on whether the Stars will remain in Utah and "this produces some emotional difficulties for me." "The Stars are here for this year, but I expect this mailer lo keep coming up.
