But 24 walks were issued in the game, 13 by Copper King pitchers. The Pioneer League record for by one team in a game is shared at 18 by former entries Caldwell, Idaho, and Magic Valley in 1969, and Idaho Falls against Butte in 1980. The Copper Kings will hit the road for a- three-game series at Pocatello Thursday through Saturday nights.

Pitching coach Oscar Acosta has tabbed left-hander Cedric Shaw to pitch Thursday, and right-handers Robb Nen and Ev Cunningham to hurl the Friday and Saturday games, respectively. The Kings will return home to face the Trappers Sunday and Monday night and Idaho Falls next Tuesday through Thursday at Alumni Coliseum. ft "They wanted more experience in Division I play," he said. Drafted by the parent Texas Rangers in the 28th round of the baseball free-agent draft last June, Swain, who gives the Copper Kings a fleet outfield with Morris and left fielder Travis Law, said he would have tried pro baseball and disdained further college ball even if he had made the Olympic squad. The Olympic coaches, he said, felt minor league baseball would improve his game.

THE CROWD OF 527, frustrated by the Monday and Tuesday season-opening setbacks to the Trappers, saw the Copper Kings take a quick 1-0 lead on shortstop Monty Fariss' run-scoring double in "-the first inning. Morris singled home Law in the third inning, then Swain and Fariss pulled a double steal, with Swain scoring the third run of the game. The Trappers bounced back for three runs in the fourth and singletons in the fifth and sixth to take a 5-3 lead. An. RBI-single by powerful Luis Verdugo, an error by Fariss the only miscue of the game by either team and a bases-loaded walk let in the three runs in the fourth.

The single runs came on a balk by Carl Randle, the second of five Butte pitchers, in the fifth and a bases-loaded walk by Bill Schorr in the sixth. Schorr gained the pitching win, despite pitching only a third of an inning, and Tim MacNiel, who shut out the Trappers the last two innings, was credited with a save. Greg Kuzma pitched the first 3 2-3 innings, and Kenny Shiozaki also took a turn on the mound forButte By Hudson Willse Standard Sports Editor Determined after back-to-back 7-6 losses to the three-time defending Pioneer League champion Salt Lake City Trappers, the Butte Copper Kings trounced the Trappers 10-5 at Alumni Coliseum Wednesday night to salvage a win in the three-game series. The victory, powered by center fielder Thayer Swain, who has six hits in two games since joining the team Tuesday night, also gave Bump Wills his first win as. a pro baseball manager.

Swain, with two years of junior college baseball behind him at San Jacinto, Texas, hit three singles and a two-run triple his first four times at bat before the Trappers managed to retire him on strikes in the the seventh inning. The two-run triple in the sixth inning tied the score at 5-5 and preceded a three-bagger down the left-field line by the next batter, left-handed-hitting Rod Morris. Rob Maurer singled home Morris with the final run of the four-run frame that brought the Copper Kings a 7-5 lead. Jeff Frye scored on a wild pitch in the seventh inning and catcher Bill Losa hit a two-run single in the eighth to complete scoring. "I'M TRYING TO ADJUST to a wooden bat," said Swain, "and I'm swinging the bat pretty good and making good contact." Swain, who attended Willowridge High School in Missouri City, Texas, before matriculating at San Jacinto, survived the first cut in the United States Olympic baseball tryouts at Millington, before being released recently.

Umpires Field, Denebeim; Home, Karsten I 2: Cash rollies stop Argentinian Hudson's Day Hudson IVIIIso WIMBLEDON, England (AP) Court No. 1 was ready to bury another champion Wednesday, but Pat Cash refused to die. The brash Australian, who won his first Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon last year, was pushed to the brink by 21-year-old Javier Frana of Argentina before rallying for a 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 second-round victory at the All England Club. Last year, Boris Becker was dethroned by unheralded Peter Doohan in the same round on the same court. It looked like history would repeat itself after Frana won two straight sets, but Cash regained his composure and his strokes to set up a third-round meeting with countryman John Fitzgerald.

"I always felt that if it got to the fifth set, I'd win," Cash said. "He played two great sets, but if I had grabbed my chances I could have won in three straight. Next time, I will." Gash berated officials and himself fter falling behind; repeatedly ques--tioning line calls and shaking his head in disgust. He regained the' momentum in the fourth set, however, and it carried over to the final game of the match, which he ended with four straight service winners. "He played fantastically well for two sets," Cash said.

"There was only one way for him to go, and that was down." Frana, who was beaten 6-1, 6-1 by Cash two weeks ago at Queen's Club, A thought by Chance was playing in his first Wimbledon tournament. But he obviously wasn't intimidated by his opponent or the historic surroundings. "Once I got onto the court, I forgot where I was and who I was playing," said Frana, ranked 80th in the world. About 50 yards away on Court 2, Becker was wiping out the memory of last year's loss with an impressive 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Karel Novacek of Czechoslovakia. The 20-year-old West German, who won the title in 1985 and 1986, boomed 17 aces to give him a total of 37 in his first two matches.

Top-seeded Ivan Lendl had a more difficult time against Australian Darren Cahill, a grass-court specialist who beat Cash in the third round at Queen's Club. Lendl prevailed 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, 64, but not before he gave the Centre Court crowd an uncharacteristic display of showmanship and emotion. Lendl, who made a couple of behind-the-back returns on service faults, was slappethwith awarnirtg' for verbal abusr after shoiiting aTTutipire Richard Ings in the final set. "The umpire said I called out 'stupid jerk' when in fact I said 'stupid said Lendl, runner-up at Wimbledon the past two years. "He obviously had dirty words on his mind and was going to implement the warning, no matter what." STEFFI GRAF, the women's top seed, lost her Grand Slam shutout streak but still blitzed 18-year-old Karine Quentrec of France 6-2, 6-0.

After watching two of her French friends play on a nearby court, Quentrec barely made it to her match in time. She showed up in street clothes, andihad to make a quick change while Graf warmed up with a ball girl. Quentrec won the second game, halting Graf's string of 26 straight games at Grand Slam tournaments, but that was the high point of her day. "She plays better than the men boom, boom," Quentrec said after winning just 22 points. Also advancing in straight sets were ninth-seeded Hana Mandlikova, No.

12 Zina Garrison, No. 14 Katerina Maleeva and No. 15 Sylvia Hanika. In men's play, lOth-seeded Tim Mayotte of the United States and No. 12 Jonas Svensson of Sweden moved into the third round with easy victories over countrymen.

Mayotte, a Wimbledon semifinalist in 1982, beat Greg Holmes 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 while Svensson, who upset Lendl in the French Open quarterfinals earlier this month, defeated Magnus Gustafsson 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. SEVENTH-SEEDED HENRI LECONTE of France rallied for a 2-6, 7-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory over 16-year-old American Michael Chang, whose opening-round victory made him the youngest male victor at Wimbledon in more than 70 years. At 16 years, 4 months, Chang was the youngest men's player to appear on Centre Court since Sidney Wood, at 15 years, 7 months, lost a first-round match to Rene Lacoste in 1927. The only seed to lose was No. 15 Amos Mansdorf of Israel, who quit because of a strained abdominal muscle after falling behind Diego Nargiso of Italy 6-3, 3-0.

Frana is a clay-court specialist, but he seemed like a grass giant until the fourth set, when Cash started to take control with his powerful serve-and-volley game. After each player held serve to. open the final set, there were three straight breaks before Cash held to take a 4-2 lead. Frana, the sixth-ranked player in Argentina, fought off two break points in in the next game to make it 4-3 and the players remained on serve through the final game. "I had to concentrate on every point and keep telling myself that I would win," Cash said.

While Frana forgot who he was playing, Graf didn't have to. She knew nothing about Quentrec, who got a place in the main draw when Italy's Raffaela Reggi withdrew with a back injury. "She was playing out of the dark for me," Graf said in her imperfect English. "I had no idea who she was, I didn't have a clue." Wl rM L. When former Cleveland pitcher Dean Chancename was dropped on Monday Night Baseball this week for his great all-around ballplayer, it reminded me of a couple of things when I worked at the Lima News in Ohio.

There was this area high school team, Spencerville, which hadn't Won a football game for quite a while. Stan Wyman, a reporter at the newspaper who had been sports editor of the Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune and, before that, the old Brooklyn Eagle, where he covered the Dodgers and said he dated owner Walter O'Malley's daughter, got us in a pickle. When Spencerville finally broke the long losing streak, Wyman wrote, "Spencerville finally found a team it could beat." That one slipped by everyone on the desk, made it in the paper and got us in a peck of trouble. The letters and phone calls came in torrents. Well, Spencerville did have good baseball teams, and a printer at the newspaper, Ron Lytle, and his Spencerville teammates reached the state championship game one year, only to get beaten by Dean Chance.

What a break. As for Wyman, he did impress me once when he got a job at the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch, and I asked him what his days off would be. He said, "I don't care what my days off are. All I care about are what days I work." BUTTE COPPER KINGS MANAGER Bump Wills says aluminum bats make a difference in the way a ball carries, and make it difficult to gauge a player's capacity as a power hitter. Wills said colleges began using aluminum bats his senior year at Arizona State.

San Francisco Giants President Al Rosen told San Francisco Chronicle columnist Glenn Dickey, as much, indicating that aluminum bats should be outlawed. "The hardest thing for scouts is evaluating how hitters will do when they switch to wooden bats," said Rosen. "With aluminum bats, a hitter can hit one off the handle and get a base hit. With a wooden bat, that's a popup." The former Cleveland Indians slugger has a solution: "I think major-league baseball should subsidize the use of wooden bats in college games. I don't know what it would cost, but it would be worth it." QUICKIES Come to think of it, those rules in the Rebel Invitational American Legion baseball tournament at Pocatello last week weren't all that bad.

The eight-run rule was invoked after five innings of the scheduled seven-inning games, and no new inning could begin after 2 hours and 15 minutes not counting ties, that is David Archer, that ol' backwoodsman quarterback from Soda Springs, Idaho, (somewhere out there between Pocatello and Utah), has joined the Miami Dolphins.

In Aachen, near the Dutch border, one drunk Dutch fan fell to his death from his hotel room early Wednesday after celebrating the 2-1 victory that put his team through to the final of the tournament, police HAMBURG, West Germany (AP) Police battled with mobs cocktail-hurling West German "skinheads" and Hamburg leftists early Wednesday after a European Soccer Championships match. Ten policemen were injured in the street battle in downtown Hamburg following the 'Netherlands' Tuesday night victory over West Metterhausen said. On Tuesday afternoon, radical German right-wingers had distributed leaflets challenging Hamburg leftists to a fight that night.

The fighting occurred in the Reeperbahn, a red light area of downtown Hamburg. Several hundred Dutch fans, who were celebrating their 2-1 victory, watched the battle but were apparently not involved, police said. More than 800 rowdies have been arrested in soccer-related disturbances across West Germany since the European Championships began on June 10. West German police have warned of an organized "horde of several hundred traveling thugs" from three West German cities who have been going from match to match instigating violence. However, English soccer fans also have been blamed for much of the violence the soccer championships.

said. The Soviet Union played Italy in Stuttgart in the other semifinal Wednesday night. Stuttgart police said two English soccer fans had been arrested for petty theft, but no violence had been reported. About 30,000 Italians were in Stuttgart for the game. The violence in Hamburg began before midnight Tuesday when extremist right-wing "skinheads" returning from the Netherlands-West Germany match began attacking police officers, said police spokesman Bernd Metterhausen.

"We were dealing with that incident when a gang of punks, who live in the harbor area of the city, came up to the Reeperbahn and also joined in," Metterhausen said. He said the second gang was made up mostly of leftists from Hamburg. The two gangs attacked each other, with police officers caught in the middle, Metterhausen said. About 600 riot gear officers were finally able to drive off the mobs, Soviets reach soccer finals STUTTGART, West Germany (AP) Gennadi Litovchenko and Oleg Protasov scored three minutes apart in the second half and the Soviet Union beat Italy 2-0 Wednesday to advance to the final of the European Soccer Championships.
