C4 TNI PRESS DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, OCTOBER CO, 1 980 SEG3PES 'S3 Busiest person on the Dodgers; is team doctor 'A XA if- ,7 Si; vt v. i 4 I DAVE ZAPOTOSKV Alfredo Griffin is picked off first base after he aborted a steal attempt. Mark McGwire applies the tag. A's only break: Orel won't hit the Mets, Hershiser pitched eight more scoreless innings. In his last last 9223 innings, he has allowed three earned runs for a 0.29 ERA.

Davis was the loser in Game 2, pitching 313 innings and allowing six runs and eight hits, including Marshall's three-run homer in the third. "I have had just as good stuff and won," Davis said. "They had some hits that got through, and then the home run Marshall hit hurt. We've played better, pitched better and hit better." Davis was 16-7 with a 3.70 ERA, a By RICH RUPPRECHT nd LARRY STONE SUIT Writers OAKLAND According to the Dodgers' team physician, pitcher John Tudor will not pitch again In the World Series and may have a career-threatening Injury. Tudor started Game 2 Tuesday night and pitched just 1 3 innings before leaving with a sore left elbow.

Dr. Frank Jobe described Tu-dor's injury as a "significant sprain to the medial collateral ligament It holds the elbow together, it prevents the elbow from flying loose when a pitcher throws." Tudor had been bothered by elbow and hip injuries since being acquired from St. Louis for Pedro Guerrero in mid-season. Asked whether the 34-year-old Tudor, who appeared in the World Series for the Cardinals in 1985 and "87, will need an operation, Jobe said, "Possibly, but we won't know at least for another week. I don't think there's any chance he'll pitch the rest of the World Series." Jobe added that the injury could be career-threatening, depending on further examinations.

Tudor, who didn't appear to be throwing with his regular velocity on Tuesday, grimaced after some pitches. He removed himself from the game after striking out Mark McGwire to lead off the second inning, first coming off the mound, stopping near the base line and dangling his arm at his side. Tudor made one appearance in the National League playoffs against the Mets and had pitched just twice in 15 days before Tuesday. SICK BAY II: Jobe was the main speaker at the daily team press conference for the Dodgers, which should tell you something about the physical condition of the team. Outfielder Mike Marshall, who sat out last night's game except as a 9th-inning defensive replacement, was given a 50 percent chance of playing in Game 5 tonight, according to Jobe.

Marshall was given a cortisone shot Tuesday after he, too, left the game early. Marshall said he hurt his back sliding after a triple he hit in Game 2 at Los Angeles. Marshall is undergoing physical therapy, electrical stimulation and massages. Marshall, who has something of a reputation of a malingerer when it comes to injuries, "was hurting bad," according to Dodger second baseman Steve Sax on Tuesday. "When I saw his eyes I knew he wasn't going to play last night or maybe the rest of the Series.

I knew he was hurt." Jobe also didn't rule out the chance of Kirk Gibson starting a game in the Series. Gibson's sprained right knee and hamstring pull in his left leg had limited him to one at-bat (a pinch-hit home run in Game 1) through three games. "It's a little better today," Jobe said of Gibson's injuries Wednesday. "He took a few swings and ran a little bit." Jobe said Gibson experiences the most pain when he "stretches things out to the limit. Then there's pain." Scioscia may have best put in perspective the Dodger-injury run: "We've got a lot of injuries, but I'd be much more concerned if the pitchers were getting hurt, because they've been carrying us all year." ADD MARSHALL: Marshall did say his back felt good enough for him to bat Wednesday.

"I felt a lot better than yesterday (Tuesday)," said Marshall. "I was going to hit in one situation, but it didn't develop." Marshall had a cortisone injection for his stiff back on Tuesday. HE'S OK, BUT: Dave Parker" held tough on his stand that Houston's Mike Scott is a tougher pitcher than Orel Hershiser, with one revision: His opinion is pursly subjective. "I said it because Scott has given me a tougher time than Hershiser," Parker said. Parker had all three of the A's hits in a 6-0 loss to Hershiser in Game 2 of the Series.

"I think by far Scott is the toughest pitcher I've faced," he said. This is how Parker handicaps Hershiser: "He spots extremely well and throws strikes with consistency. He gets the high fastballs off the plate. His location has been the key to shutout pitching." And how do you hit him? "You have to make sure he gets the ball up. He likes to break the ball low in the strike zone.

Basically, don't offer unless he gets the ball up." PRE-GAME PATTER: Peter Cetera sang the National Anthem, and Stanford baseball coach Mark Mar- SERIES NOTES quess, who coached the gold-medal U.S. baseball team ln the Olympics, threw out the first ball. A'S HONORED: Baseball America magazine came out with Its all-star teams and award winners Wednesday, and the A's were well represented. Jose Canseco was the AL Player of the Year, Walt Weiss the Rookie of the Year, Tony La Russa Manager of the Year, and Sandy Alderson Executive of the Year. Canseco and Dennis Ecker-sley made the all-star team.

The Giants didn't have any honorees, not even Will Clark, who was bypassed at first base in favor of Montreal's Andres Gallaraga. ABOUT HOWELL: Mark McGwire's game-winning home run on Tuesday was the first Jay Howell had yielded to a right-handed batter in 1988, a span covering 110 at-bats in the regular season and three in the post-season. In fact, Howell gave up just one horrle run during the regular season, that to Cincinnati's Paul O'Neill. DONT HOLD BACK GIBBY: Kirk Gibson couldn't supress his dislike of the media, cutting loose with this diatribe after Wednesday's Dodger win: "If I had one wish right now, you know what it would be? That (Bob) Costas and all you (bleeps) would say that this is the ugliest world championship team ever and I'll be wearing that championship ring. Tell us we're horsebleep.

If we win, you guys will have a riot. And I don't give a bleep." RUNNING ON HIS OWN: If Steve Sax hadn't been running on Tracy Woodson's ground ball to shortstop in the seventh inning, the Dodgers wouldn't have scored their fourth run. Walt Weiss' flip throw to Glenn Hubbard at second was too late to get Sax, although Hubbard's relay to first was in time to get Woodson. Alfredo Griffin scored from third on the play. "I went on my own," said Sax.

"I was trying to stay out of the double play. Plus, if I steal, we have runners on second and third. Sax said he's always allowed to run on his own, that the only signs from the Dodger bench come on hit-and-run plays. STREAK ENDS: The Dodgers victory ended a streak of 13 consecutive wins by the home team in World Series play. The last time a visiting team won was in 1986 when the Mets won Game 4 at Boston.

The A's hadn't lost a Series game at the Oakland Coliseum since Game 2 in 1973, a 12-inning, 10-7 defeat to the Mets. They had won six in a row since then. STORM WARNING: La Russa announced after the game that Storm Davis will start today's game, opposing Hershiser. Before the game, La Russa had said he was undecided between Davis and Curt Young, who is left-handed. "It might be good to give them a different look," he said.

SELLOUT PLUS ONE: The attendance for Wednesday's game, was 49,317, one more than in Tuesday's game. It was the 11th largest crowd at the Oakland Coliseum. The largest was 49,437 for Game 5 of the 1974 World Series (Oct. 17). NOTES AND QUOTES: Ron Has-sey's pinch hit in the eighth was the A's first in four at-bats in the World Series.

Three Dodgers were caught stealing, tying the nine-inning World Series record, last accomplished by the Chicago White Sox vs. L.A. on Oct. 4, 1959 (Game 3). There have been seven left fielders used by the two teams, four by Oakland (Parker, Polonia, Javier and Phillips) and three by Los Angeles (Hatcher, Heep and Gonzalez).

That sets a World Series record (yes, they really check on those things). Henderson became the 47th player in World Series history to record four or more hits. Henderson is 16 for 43 (.372) in World Series play. He played for Boston in 1986. When Mike Gallego and Rick Dempsey made appearances Wednesday, it left Rick Jesse Orosco and Todd Burns as the only three players who haven't been used.

The errors by Hubbard and Weiss were the first two by Oakland in the Series. Hubbard committed only six errors in 463 chances during the regular season. Weiss's error was only his second since July 8. Dodgers manager Lasorda scolded writers who had criticized Howell after giving up the home run to McGwire. "One guy said he didn't have the stomach.

He was blistered in the papers. I want to see what you write about him tomorrow." Mike Marshall said. "When we take the field with Orel on the mound, we feel we can't be beat." Hershiser finished the regular season with a record 59 consecutive scoreless innings and has pitched seven shutouts in his last 10 games. "It's unbelievable what he has accomplished," Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda said. "To continue that kind of pitching for so long, under so much pressure is just unreal.

When you think of the length of time and what he has done, it just makes you stop and wonder." After Game 2, the A's were wondering what makes Hershiser so tough to hit. After all, he doesn't throw real hard or possess a Bert Blyleven curve. "You can't be looking to hit home runs against a pitcher like Hershiser," A's manager Tony La Russa said. "You just have to go back up the middle." Hershiser has a running fastball and keeps his pitches low while continually changing speeds. Hershiser, 23-8, pitched five straight shutouts in September and then broke Don Drysdale's 20-year mark of 58 straight shutout innings with 10 scoreless frames against San Diego on Sept.

28. In Game 1 of the playoffs against Associated Press OAKLAND The get a break in Game 5 of the World Series. Orel Hershiser won't be hitting. The fifth game tonight is in the home of the American League team, so the designated hitter will be used. The A's do have another problem though: Hershiser will be pitching.

Oakland will go with Storm Davis. Hershiser threw a three-hitter in Game 2 and went 3 for 3 with an RBI as Los Angeles beat Oakland 6-0. He was the first pitcher since Art Nehf of the 1924 New York Giants to get three hits in a World Series game. "I don't pride myself on my hitting," Hershiser said. "But it's lots of fun." Hershiser does pride himself on his pitching, though, and nobody has ever done it much better over a six-week span.

Hershiser made four appearances in the National League playoffs against New York and pitched a shutout in Game 7 to beat the Mets 6-0 after picking up a save in Game 4. He has pitched 19 '3 consecutive scoreless innings in the postseason and is the only player ever to throw shutouts in the playoffs and World Series. "Orel is just on a different level right now," Dodgers right fielder Stubbs' defense Associated Press OAKLAND Franklin Stubbs is getting a chance to play in the World Series because his Los Angeles teammates keep getting hurt. In Game 4, he hurt Oakland with his glove. Stubbs, batting just .200 in the World Series, made three sparkling defensive plays at first base Wednesday, including a sliding catch at the lip of the Dodger dugout of a pop foul by Oakland slugger Jose Canseco in the sixth inning.

"There are other ways to contribute" beside hitting, Stubbs said after the Dodgers 4-3 victory over the Athletics. He made an important contribution in the sixth inning. Dave Henderson had opened the inning with the second of his four hits of the night, bringing Canseco, at the time the game's tying run, to the plate. The A's slugger lofted a strong rebound from 1987 when he was 3-8. After going 1-7 with San Diego, Davis was traded to the A's on Aug.

30, 1987 for first baseman Rob Nelson. "Things didn't work out for me in San Diego," Davis said. "Coming to Oakland couldn't have happened at a better time." Part of Davis' problem with San Diego in 1987 was the friction with then Padres manager Larry Bowa. Bowa said the pitcher thought the "SD" on his cap stood for Storm Davis. aided L.A.

win foul pop that drifted toward the first-base dugout. Stubbs and the ball arrived at about the same moment. "It's a situation where there's a lot of room in foul territory," he said. "I knew I had a chance to get to the ball. The problem was it was slippery over there and my spikes wouldn't catch." With his teammates poised to protect him from injury at the top step, Stubbs went sliding.

"They tried to hold me but they were pushing me. In that situation I probably would have run through a wall to catch that ball." When Stubbs went flat on the ground, Henderson seemed to bluff an advance to second. But Stubbs kept the runner from advancing by firing the ball to second baseman Steve Sax. "You've got to make plays in that situation," Stubbs said. "You can't take anything for granted." Woodson grounded directly at shortstop Walter Weiss.

It appeared to be a perfect double-play grounder, but Sax beat Weiss' throw to second baseman Glenn Hubbard. Griffin scored while Hubbard threw out Woodson at first. "I made up my mind I was going to try and steal at some point in the count to try to stay out of a double play," Sax said. "I picked the right pitch to go on. When I beat the throw, it got us a run."
