Monday, June 23, 1980 Pag 20 THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS Canadian Champ Avoids Stardom Willie Decides To Quit July 10 Duran Eying Big Money MONTREAL (AP) In the wake of one of the most memorable fights in non-heavyweight history, Roberto Duran took the World Boxing Council welterweight championship home to Panama today. Duran's unanimous 15-round decision over Sugar Ray Leonard came in a slug-it-out brawl that at times turned brutal and was a crowd-pleaser from beginning to end. The fight cries for a rematch but promoter Don King, Duran's guru, says that won't come for awhile. WBC regulations prohibit immediate rematches in championship bouts; therefore, Duran's first defense will have to come against another welterweight, perhaps ex-champ Wilfred Benitez, who got into a shouting match with the man called "Hands of Stone" following Friday night's fight. Then, there is the matter of money.

Duran received $1.5 million for the Leonard fight, a paltry sum compared to $8 million or so which went to Sugar Ray. If they are to fight again, King said he wants the same financial terms for his man only reversed. "We will fight anybody," chortled King. "Wherever the most money is." Rich Murray from the minor leagues and the 22-year-old rookie won the starting first base job. "I said all along that I would keep playing until some young 'phenom' forced me to retire, and it looks like that phenom has arrived," McCovey said about Murray, who raised his batting average to .305 with a pair of hits yesterday.

McCovey has hit only one homer this season, on May 3 against Montreal's Scott Sanderson. It tied him with Ted Williams for eighth place among the all-time leaders. His most productive home run season was 1969, when he hit 45 en route to the National League Most Valuable Player award. He goes into the final weeks of his career with a total of 1,552 runs batted in, good for 19th place on the all-time list. McCovey has been with the Giants all but three years of his big league career.

He was traded to the San Diego Padres after the 1973 season and stayed with them until late in 1976, when he was sent to the Oakland A's of the American League. In 1977, McCovey returned to the Giants as a free agent, made the team with a good spring training perform ance and had a great comeback season at age 39. "Coming back to the Giants is one of the highlights," he said. "It meant I'd be able to retire in this uniform, one of the things I always wanted to do." By ERIC PREWITT SAN FRANCISCO AP) Willie McCovey, hitting .198 and stuck in a pinch-hitting role because of two younger first basemen, has decided it's time to stop playing baseball. "How many guys were able to play this long and accomplish so many things?" the 42-year-old McCovey asked yesteday while announcing that he'll retire effective July 10.

The answer: not many. The Alabama native who joined the San Francisco Giants in 1959 has hit 521 home runs, most ever by a National League left-handed hitter, including 18 grand slams, another league record. His last appearance as a player could be at the July 8 All-Star game in Los Angeles, should he be placed on the National League squad in recognition of his accomplishments. "He's easily the most feared left-handed hitter of my time," said Pete Rose of Philadelphia after yesterday's game against the Giants. McCovey talked with Rose, breaking the news to the man he's competed against since 1963, during pregame batting practice.

Just before game time, the Giants held a news conference to announce McCovey's decision. "Nobody can go on forever," said McCovey. who got off to a good start this year and played several games at first because Mike Ivie, the starter most of last year, had a series of injuries. Recently, when Ivie went on the disabled list, the Giants brought up a 1 "il jp3 fT ILE BIZARD, Quebec (AP) -Although he's a winner again, that burning desire for success, the all-consuming drive for perfection that dominates the lives of many athletes, does not afflict Bob Gilder. "I may have different goals from some of your superstars," Gilder said after completing a front-running, two-stroke victory in the Canadian Open Golf championship yesterday.

"First of all, I'm not a superstar," he said. "I'm not sure I even want to be. I want to win, but if I don't, it's not the end of the world. "Mainly, I just love to play the game. My object is to make a living without too much publicity.

And I've made a heck of a living." He has, indeed. The $63,000 he collected from the total purse of $350,000 pushed his earnings for the year to $134,650. The quiet, low-key Gilder, who is 29, also won $134,000 last year and has collected almost one-half million dollars in his five years of PGA Tour activity. But the acquisition of the Canadian national championship a title that has yet to be won by such stars as Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson may produce more publicity than is welcomed by the shy man from Corval-lis. Ore.

Among other things, the triumph puts him in such showcase events as the 1980 World Series of Golf and the 1981 Masters and Tournament of Champions. Gilder, an Arizona State product, had a relatively easy time picking up his second tour title. The other came in the Phoenix Open in his rookie season of 1976. This time he started the final round with a two-stroke lead, birdied three of the first six holes, led by three or four shots most of the warm, sunny day and eventually finished two strokes in front with a 274 total, six shots under par on the Royal Montreal Golf Club course. He matched par 70 over the last 18 holes.

Jerry Pate, who had the last real chance of catching Gilder, and Leonard Jio (Judge 13 17 Willie McCovey Calling it quits. Bob Gilder High, dry. AP. Thompson, who came out of the pack with a 67, tied for second at 276. Pate shot a 70 and bogeyed two of his last four holes.

The critical one was on the 15th, were he drove poorly. That gave Gilder a three-stroke lead with three holes to play and he brought it home. Ben Crenshaw, who fell from contention with a double bogey on the third hole, was fourth at 70-277. Lee Trevino, the defending titlehol-der and a three-time Canadian Open winner, bogeyed the fourth and fifth holes to fall out of contention. He finished with a 70 and was tied at 278 with George Burns and Danny Edwards, USAC Scores Win In Rules Decision 4 Stetinas Make Nationals Smci.i To Tlx mm CHURUBUSCO, Ind.

A.J. Foyt knew other drivers were accusing him of cheating and it made him mad. "Mad. I'd say, adds 2 miles per hour to him." said the four-time Indy winner's engine man. Howard Gilbert.

Foyt's Parnelli-Cosworth burned a valve on the 85th lap of the Pocono 500 yesterday as he was holding the lead over Bobby Unser. He chatted with fans as he strolled back to his garage, but quickly dressed and was headed for the airport in short order. "Yeah, I think he proved today he is serious," said Gilbert. "When he gets serious it shows up. I knew he was going to jump up and take the lead, because he told me that before the race.

"They (fellow drivers like L'nser, Tom Sneva and others) were putting him down and he wasn't about to let 'em put him down." Gilbert said charges that A.J. was using nitrous oxide were ridiculous. "He says they are crazy and they are," Howard exclaimed. "It would take a bottle as big as a semi to carry him 100 laps around this place. He's just laughing at 'em because it's silly.

You can't carry that much stuff. You might for one lap." Last week in practice Foyt had the fast speed and he grabbed the middle of the front row starting spot. "You can't prove it, but he was cheating," said Unser. "He doesrt't have to do that. It's a shame because he knocked Mike Mosley off the front row." Mario Andretti, another of Roger Penske's drivers, concurred.

"There's no way he could be running with 48 inches," said Mario, who fell out with a balky transmission. I came here to race, not to play games. "Damn right he's playing games. And he doesn't have to prove anything. He's too good a race driver to pull anything like that." Gilbert said Foyt's next race probably will be at Michigan July 20.

D.M. PANTHER y-- Pad JmjT Smci.i t. tm nw MOUNT POCONO, Pa. The United States Auto Club won a clear cut victory in the rules formulated for Indy cars for the next three years. The Championship Racing League board met prior to the Pocono 500 over the weekend and established the engine boost regulations to be in effect through the 1983 racing season.

USAC's 48 inches for eight-cylinder motors will be the limit for each of the three coming seasons. Additionally, the board also adopted the non-articulating or movable skirts in effect this season at L'SAC races such as Indianapolis. Championship Auto Racing Teams i CART is running 60 inches of boost in the eight-cylinder Cosworths this season and also uses the spring-type articulating skirts. The actual engine rules read this way: Eight-cylinders and others not otherwise mentioned (this includes the phantom six-cylinder Porsche): 1981. 1982.

1983 48 inches. Four-cylinder engines currently in existance (Drake Offy, DGS): 1981, 60 inches; 1982, 60 inches: 1983, 48 inches. Normally aspirated stock block engines: Remain at the current 355 cubic inches. Turbo-charged stock block engine 1 58 inches this year): 1981, 56 inches; 1982 54 inches; 1983. 48 inches.

This year the rules will continue to jump back and forth. In the Pocono 500 yesterday USAC rules were utilized, but in the next race on the road course at Mid-Ohio CART rules will be in effect. Members of the board who thrashed out the three-year program were: A.J. Foyt Roger Penske Jim Hall Pat Patrick Rolla Vollstedt Dick King "I think they will be good." said Penske, a founder of CART who has assumed a moderate approach since L'SAC and CART realigned last spring. "We tried to take into consideration all those who are running plus they will provide the opportunity for new owners to come in.

The rules are stable for three years. "We're in the position to look to the future. There has been a lot of discussion and it is not done yet. they don't favor anyone. What I'll do basically is modify my existing cars." The Penske chassis is one of the most competitive in championship racing.

Asked if the new rules would cut the spirling cost of racing, he replied, "It depends on what avenue you take." The rules changes were made after considerable communication with CRL car owners.

Miss Bradley made up the most ground, carding a 67 and dropping from three over to two under. Miss Washam also made up ground, shooting a 69 to close the gap on Mrs. Carner, but the Mrs. Carner chalked up a birdie-three on the 18th hole to finish at nine-under for the tournament. Denny Stable MONTREAL (AP) Lightweight Cleveland Denny, knocked unconscious in the waning seconds of a premilinary fight to the Roberto Duran-Sugar Ray Leonard fight at Olympic Stadium Friday, remains under intensive care.

Clarine Denny said her 24-year-old Guyana-bom husband was "well" and not paralyzed. Denny underwent surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain after Canadian lightweight champion Gaetan Hart sent him to the canvas with a flurry of blows only 12 seconds from the end of their 10-round non-title bout. HERSHEY, Pa. (LTD JoAnne Carner played it smart "boring" but smart. She was sitting on a six-stroke lead at the start of play yesterday, knowing that all she had to do was shoot consistent golf to capture the $100,000 Lady Keystone Open.

And that's what she did. The 41-year-old veteran, after shrugging off trouble on the front nine, regained her composure and carded a one-under-par 71 for a 54-hole total of 207 four strokes ahead of Jo Ann Washam, who trailed Mrs. Carner in second place through each round of the tournament. Pat Bradley finished with a 214 for third place. Sally Little at 215 for fourth.

Pat Meyers, Shelley Hamlin and Jan Stephenson tied for fifth at even-par 216. Attendance was 27,350 an LPGA single-day record. Mrs. earner's steady performance she had three straight sub-par rounds was more than enough to withstand some hard chargers moving up in the field.
