Compres throws two-hitter, Indians wallop Clinton, 9-1 By RU8S L. SMITH Courier Sport Editor Having found a virtually unbeatable formula, the Waterloo Indians kept a good thing going Friday night. Fidel Compres pitched their second two-hitter in two nights and, like Mike Walker, who defeated Beloit, 7-1, Thursday, he also struck out 12 batters.

But his offense was more in charge than Thursday and Friday's victory was 9-1 over Clinton with the help of 15 hits, including three doubles and two home runs. Also, just as in the previous game, a home run prevented the shutout. Clinton's No. 7 batter, Ryan Silva, a recent acquisition by the Giants from the Philadelphia Phillies organization, hit a home run in his first Midwest League at bat in the third inning. It was Clinton's last hit of the game.

Mark Leonard got the other hit, a single, to open the second. Silva played for Bend, in the Northwest League last year and had 15 hits, five of them home runs. Compres came out of the game after 116 pitches and eight innings and Paul Kuzniar sat the side down in order in the ninth. Other than Silva, Compres only had trouble with Jim Jones. The Dominican Republic native walked Jones in each of his three times at bat.

Jones and Greg Ritchie, who drew Compres' fourth walk, were the only Clinton baserunners after Silva's homer. "THE HITTER' was too little," Compres said through ah interpreter, INDIANS PROFILE Oldtimers who were following the sports pages in the 1940s remember record-setting college basketball scorer Bevo Francis from Rio Grande College In Ohio. Meet Jeff Shaw, who played with Rio Grande In the NAIA national basketball tournament in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, and is now one of the Waterloo Indians' most dependable starting pitchers. Shaw attended Rio Grande his freshman year and attended Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio his second year before signing a Cleveland Indians minor league baseball contract as their No. 1 choice in the January, 1986, regular phase player draft.

After an 8-4 pro ball start with a 2.54 earned run average last season at Batavia, N. in the New York- Pennsylvania League, the former three-sport high school star at Washington Courthouse, Ohio, joined the pitching staff of the Midwest League Indians this season. He lettered three times in basketball and twice each in football and baseball in high school and played quarterback for his team in the North-South high school football all-star game in Ohio. "I'd like to be in the majors by 1989 or '90," he said. "It's in my contract to go back to school, so that's where I'll be this fall if I don't go to the instructional league, but I'm going to change my major from business management to business education.

I coached freshman basketball last year at Washington Courthouse and I'd like to be a coach." Shaw was married to Julie, also from Washington Courthouse, just before spring training in March. 1 i i 1 Pro History SO BRA 1986 Batavia 8 4 79 71 2.54 Correction An Indians profile featuring outfielder Ray Williamson published last week erroneously carried a picture of Mark Pike.

And, after driving in 25 runs in his last 20 games, the St. Louis center fielder has reason to smile. McGee drove in three runs with a triple and double as starter Bob Forsch and three relievers combined on a six-hitter to beat Chicago 4-1 Friday night. In 1985, McGee was named the MVP when he hit .353 and drove in 82 runs as the Cardinals won the pennant. But the speedy McGee was slowed by injuries last season and slipped to .256 and 48 RBI.

But McGee doesn't use injuries as an excuse for the Cardinals' hitting problems last season. "I don't think injuries were the big reason," McGee said. "Baseball is a funny game, and sometimes your offense just isn't there. That's what happened last year." Last season, the Cardinals finished last in batting in the league as the New York Mets romped in the NL East. But a healthy Jack Clark and improved contributions from Vince Coleman, Tom Herr, Terry Pendelton and McGee have St.

Louis running and scoring. Coleman led off for St. Louis with a bunt single in the first inning but was erased on Ozzie Smith's double play grounder. Herr then singled and Clark walked to set up McGee's triple against Jamie Mover, 6-4. The Cardinals added two runs in the eighth when Clark led off with a walk and McGee doubled to right against Frank DiPino, scoring Clark and advancing to third on Andre Dawson's fielding error in right.

Pendelton sent McGee home with a single. McGee has 47 RBI this season. Expos 13, Phillies 6 Hub'ie Brooks went 5-for-5 and drove in six runs as Montreal ended Shane Rawley's personal six-game winning streak. Tim Wallach, Mitch Webster and Tim Raines had three hits apiece in Montreal's 19-hit attack. Astros 5, Dodgers 1 Houston's Nolan Ryan struck out 11 in 7 2-3 innings to give him a major league-leading 107 strikeouts in 80 2-3 innings.

Glenn Davis drove three runs for Houston with an RBI single in the sixth and a two-run double in the eighth. Ryan, 4-5, walked none while extending the Astros' string of scoreless innings pitched at Dodger Stadium to 26 before Los Angeles scored with two out in the eighth. It was the 167th time in his career Ryan has struck out at least 10 batters in a game, improving on his major league record. MetS 10, Pirates 2 New York contiued its mastery of Pittsburgh as Tim Teufel hit a grand slam and left-hander Sid Fernandez pitched six-hit ball over eight innings. Howard Johnson and Kevin McReynolds also homered as the Mets defeated the Pirates for the 25th time in their last 28 meetings.

The Mets are 7-2 against the Pirates this season. Braves 4, Reds 3 Rick Mahler allowed four hits in seven innings to snap a personal seven-game losing streak and Andres Thomas broke a fifth-inning tie with a two-run single as Atlanta beat Cincinnati. Mahler, 3-7, had not won in his last 12 starts going into Friday's game after beginning the season 2-0. Jim Acker pitched the final two innings for his sixth save. The Braves took a 4-2 lead by scoring twice on three consecutive hits in the fifth inning off starter Jerry Reuss, 0-5.

The Reds have lost all seven games that Reuss has started since he was signed May 12 as a free agent. Padres 5, Giants 0 Ed Whitson pitched a four-hitter and did not allow a runner past first base in beating San Francisco. It was Whitson's first complete game since 1985, when he played for the New York Yankees. Whitson, 7-6 for the last-place Padres, struck out six and walked none. American League Blue Jays 8, Orioles 5 Toronto set a team record with its 10th straight victory Friday night, an 8-5 win over Baltimore, which has lost nine in a row.

Lloyd Moseby hit a three-run homer, Willie Upshaw had a solo shot and Tony Fernandez' looping fly ball in the eighth inning fell between left fielder Alan Wiggins, third baseman Ray Knight and shortstop Cal Ripken, scoring Garth Iorg and breaking a 5-5 tie. Reliever Mark Eichhorn, 8-2, has the most wins of any relief pitcher in the majors. While Toronto has won 13 of 14, the Orioles have lost 13 of 14. Twins 5-7, White Sox 2-4 Minnesota sent the White Sox to their fourth and fifth straight defeats. The sweep also stretched the Twins' winning streak to seven.

Frank Viola pitched seven strong innings, while Roy Smalley had a three-run homer and Greg Gagne added a solo shot in the opener. Minnesota upped its West lead to 1 Vi games over Kansas City with its second-game win as Dan Gladden and Gary Gaetti each hit two-run singles and Juan Berenguer won his fourth consecutive decision with 2 2-3 innings of scoreless relief The White Sox saw their club record string of games with at least one homer end at 16 in the opener. Royals 1, Angels 0 Bret Saberhagen, the 1985 Cy Young Award winner but only 7-12 last season, continued his sensational comeback with a three-hitter for his fifth successive victory. He fanned eight and walked none in outdueling Mike Witt, who also pitched a three-hitter. Saberhagen's 11 victories are three more than anyone else in the major leagues.

He suffered his only loss on May 14 at Baltimore, 4-3, and now has a 2.00 earned run average. George Brett came off the disabled list to hit an RBI double for the only run. Yankees 8, Brewers 3 Dennis Rasmussen shrugged off the threats of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner that the left-hander would be demoted to the minor leagues if he continued his poor pitching. Rasmussen, an 18-game winner last year but 0-2 with a 10.34 earned run average in his previous five appearances, carried a no-hitter through 6 2-3 innings. But Jim Paciorek's slow roller down the line hit the third-base bag for an infield single and Rasmussen left soon after.

He had all the support he needed on home runs from Ron Kittle, Henry Cotto and Mark Salas. The Yankees won for the first time since being swept in a three-game series by Toronto and being outscored 22-3. The Brewers were without Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, Rob Deer, Jim Gantner and Greg Brock, all out because of injuries. Indians 10, Mariners 6 At Seattle, Joe Carter's two-run homer highlighted a five-run sixth inning and Julio Franco added a three-run shot. Brook Jacoby also homered for the Indians, who got standout relief from Mark Huismann and Scott Bailes after starter Greg Swindell left in the fourth inning with stiffness in his shoulder.

Tigers 11, Red Sox 4 Red-hot Alan Trammell and Kirk Gibson each hit three-run homers for host Detroit, which routed 1986 Cy Young Award recipient Roger Clemens. Trammell, who stretched his hitting streak to 17 games, was hitting .357 after Friday's game. He was at .282 on May 5. Athletics 6, Rangers 1 At Arlington, Dave Stewart pitched a four-hitter for his seventh victory and Reggie Jackson hit his 554th career home run as Oakland won its fourth consecutive game. Jackson's sixth homer of the season was the 43rd of his career against Texas.

The Rangers' Oddibe McDowell also two singles, giving him six consecutive two-hit games and a nine-game hitting streak. 1 a. Compres explaining his problem with Jones. Friday's victory was his second against two losses. In three previous seasons in baseball, he has never won more than two games.

One of his wins in 1984 on loan from the Cleveland Indians organization to Utica, N. of the New York-Pennsylvania League, was a shutout. He was 2-5 last year at Batavia, N. in that league. Compres also explained that Silva hit a fastball over the left field fence.

Glenn Fairchild opened the game for Waterloo with his third homer of the season, but Jim Richardson got the game-winning RBI in when he doubled Fairchild home from first in the third inning to break a 1-1 tie. The Indians scored three times in the fifth on a single by Dave Alvis, a Edwards, perhaps best known for organizing a protest by black athletes at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, will remain in tenured position as associate professor at Berkeley and will retain advisory roles with the NFL's San Franciso49ers and the NBA's Golden State Warriors. "The only thing that would make me give up all this and move to New York would be if I were given the commissioner's job of baseball, but Peter didn't offer me that," he said. Edwards, a freshman discus thrower at San Jose State in 1961 when Ueberroth was an assistant track coach at the school, said the move to bring more blacks into baseball has been going on since Ueberroth took office. "This was very high on Peter Ueberrotk's agenda," he said.

"He's been discussing this with the owners since his initiation in that position. What Mr. (Al) Campanis did was to speed up the process, to get it a kind of high profile that probably would have been impossible without that development." Campanis, the former Los Angles Dodgers vice president, sparked a furor over racism in baseball this spring when he said on national television that blacks might not have "some of the necessities" to be managers and general managers. UEBERROTH said several hundred ex-ballplayers fall into the category which the project will be aftned at reaching. Edwards' task, Ueberroth said, will be to determine "Where are they? Who are they? Have they been given a chance? Can they be trained? "Harry's good at it.

He's effective. He's done it before," Ueberroth said. I Pr'f V. i I 'j I v. 'V A I 1 vkrM' ummiM.J 1 Ueberroth selects Edwards to lead search for minorities double by Ray Williamson and a throwing error.

A passed ball and Scott Johnson's club leading 13th home run of the season with a runner on base added three more in the sixth. In the ninth, off Clinton's third pitcher, Mark Pike doubled home the final run. Keith Seifert, whose four hits helped propel Walker to the victory Thursday night, left the game in the fourth inning after being hit on the shoulder by a foul ball of his own bat. He opened the second inning with a single, his fifth straight hit over two nights. I II Rltchlt, II Ealy, dh Ronton, rf Laonard, lb Jackson, ct McNamara, Harrow, c.

"Every single team will have a fair employment plan in place," Ueberroth said. The plans are to be developed in the next month and evaluated by Jackson, civil rights activists and a group of former players at a June 29 meeting in Chicago. "Why do I think it's important? Because baseball is so visible," said Ueberroth, adding that the major leagues could serve as a role model for companies currently not providing opportunities for minorities. "The challenge we have is to manage change without losing tradition," the commissioner said.

(AP) Major league baseball is about to embark on an ambitious project to open up opportunities for blacks and His-, panics in the front offices and coaching ranks, according to Commissioner Peter Ueberroth. Sports sociologist and black activist Harry Edwards will coordinate an effort to identify former players from minority groups qualified to fill a variety of roles in baseball, Ueberroth said Friday. "Basically it entails trying to look at guys who could be like a Sparky Anderson, a Lasorda," Ueberroth said at the Associated Press Sports Editors Convention in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. "Guys who have great careers in baseball but weren't that good on the field." Edwards described the program as "expanding the pool" of blacks and Hispanics who could move into baseball positions when the jobs become available.

Final details of the program have not been worked out, but Edwards said be might be able to announce how the project will work a few days after meeting with Ueberroth next week. Edwards said he has been formulating ideas for the program in private meetings with several scholars, black attorneys and former athletes, including Arthur Ashe, Oscar Robertson and Joe Morgan. "AFTER WE get this underway, we're going to go to both basketball and football, as well as the NCAA, and utilize this as an exemplary program," Edwards said during a news conference at the University of California. "The NCAA is an integral part of this process, and it's going to have to get some of the gabage off the road. We're going to be approaching them to alter that entire situation.".
