Mike Warren, less than a year out of Class became the first rookie in 10 years to pitch a no-hitter last night in leading the Oakland A's to a 3-0 victory over the American League West champion Chicago White Sox. "It was a dream come true," said Warren.

being in the major leagues was a big Jthrill and now this. I won't believe it 'til I read about it in the paper. "After I got to the sixth inning, I started thinking about the no-hitter. In the ninth, I wasn't aware of who was going to bat. I decided to be aggressive and go right after them." "I was probably more excited than Mike Warren," said A's manager Steve Boros.

"I wanted to be sure I had the right people in the game at the end. I told our outfielders to play shallow in the last two innings so there wouldn't be any bloop hits." Warren's masterpiece was the third no-hitter in the major leagues this season and the second this week. Bob Forsch of St. Louis pitched a no-hitter against the Montreal Expos Monday night and Dave Righ-etti of the New York Yankees no-hit the Boston Red Sox on July 4. Warren, 22, struck out five and walked three to improve to 5-3.

The last no-hitter by the Oakland pitching staff was on Sept. 28, 1975, when Vida Blue, Glenn Abbott, Paul Lindblad and Rollie Fingers combined for a 5-0 victory over the California Angels. The last no-hitter pitched by a rookie was by Jim Bibby, then of Texas, who beat Oakland, 8-0, on July 30, 1973. On April 27 of that same year, Kansas City's Steve Busby no-hit Detroit, 3-0. Warren's no-hitter was the first against the White Sox since Aug.

1. 1962, when Bill Monbouquette of the Red Sox beat them, Vniled International LOS ANGELES The Soviet national women's volleyball team has dropped out of a pre-Olympic tournament next month, the fourth group of Russian athletes to cancel an American appearance. The Soviets notified the promoter that "due to current situation, (we are) unable to participate in pre-Olympic competition and dual matches." The Soviets were to be part of a four-nation event beginning Oct. 14 in Long Beach. The Soviets did not elaborate" on the reason for their withdrawal.

The volleyball team was the fourth group of Russian athletes to cancel a trip to the U.S. since a Korean jetliner was shot down Sept. 1. Los Angeles Olympics officials said yesterday they believe the Soviets are refusing to go to countries that have banned or otherwise acted against Aero-flot, the Soviet national airline. Their theory is based on the Soviet, Union's cancellations of the U.S.

trips and on several cancellations of athletes' trips to international competitions in other Western countries. They said the Soviets might not want their athletes to travel on other airlines with anything but Aeroflot tickets purchased with Soviet currency.

The agreement ended a dispute between supporters of Chinen and Afook. The dispute arose when Chinen's wife, Alice, said she would prefer to have her, husband's name given to Hilo Civic or not used at all. Initially, Councilman Tomlo Fuji! had proposed naming Hilo Armory for Chinen. Afook, who won 10 Hawaii territorial high school basketball championships in 13 seasons, said he was pleased by the consideration and had no objection to sharing the recognition with Chinen, a amateur boxing champion of the 1940s and later a sports promoter and baseball figure. Hugh Clark HILO The controversy over the naming of Hilo Civic Auditorium came to an end yesterday with an announcment of a compromise.

Hawaii County an Merle Lai drafted a Hon that proposes naming: Hlto Civic, the Aiook-Chinen Civic Auditorium, after longtime Big Island sports figures Ung Soy "Beans" Afook and Richard "Pablo" Chinen. Controversy arose after the council received proposals for naming the facility for either Afook or Chinen. Lai told reporters the compromise was made after consultation with members of both the Afook and Chinen families and the Mayor Herbert Matayoshl's administration.

In four seasons at Konawaena High School, football coach Jim Barry's teams have been beaten only five times in 32 games. Three of those losses have come against Hilo teams while playing in Wong Stadium.

Barry said he thinks his team had problems at Wong Stadium because when it rained, the playing field got muddy. So Barry plans to wet down his own field until it resembles "a kind of pigpen" in preparation for Wong Stadium games this season in hopes that his big offensive line and two rushers might be able to overcome the spongy surface of the well-damped Wong field. The Wildcats, unbeaten in three games this season, will play second-place St. Joseph's tonight at 7:30. Konawaena is an overwhelming favorite because of its size, depth and experience.

The Cardinals are in the their first year of varsity competi-tion. Barry said he has been pleased with the play of his offensive line, which includes guards Darryl Kaku (170 lbs.) and Fred Ng (170), center Kevin Lindsey (220) and tackles Lance Gomes (240) and Al Hooper (240). They provide the blocking for multi-talented tailback Billy Stephens who leads the league in rushing and is second in scoring. Stephens has also thrown two touchdown passes and Barry calls him "an excellent pass receiver." Barry scouted St. Joseph's in its first loss to Hawaii Preparatory Academy last weekend.

"Their (Cardinals) defense impressed me. Their pursuit was good." In other games this weekend, Hilo (0-3) goes to Pahala tonight to play Scotts football's only tackle. Take this week for example. Scotts' coaches have been talking about what it will take to beat the Diego State Aztecs. Scotts said he isn't sure what an Aztec is, much less how to beat one, but now that the America's Cup is over, he can at least concentrate on it.

Last week the joke around the UH football team was that Scotts' 6-6, 16-stone (255 pounds to you cobbers) frame was in Salt Lake City to play Utah, but his heart and mind were off Rhode Island with Australia II. "It was the day before our game with Utah when they were supposed to have the race and I was just dying." Scotts said.
