PQET I THE SUN, Thursday, July 31, 1980 Bumbry hit wins, 3 to 2 mean Birds nip Texas By Ken IV'igro Sun Staff Correspondent ray decided to tag Rivers, who hadn't moved off first but was out, anyway, on the force at second. Apparently, Ford became confused and called Rivers out. Since poor Rivers was now out twice, the inning should have still been alive. For one brief flash, nobody seemed to know what was going on, but Weaver rushed out and the umpires said, yes, it See BIRDS, C9, Col.l Jim Palmer with one out in the seventh and lasted until the ninth, when Buddy Bell singled with one out. Manager Earl Weaver then called for Stoddard, and the big righthander struck out pinch-hitter Richie Zisk and got John Ellis on a line drive to Dauer to give the Birds their seventh victory in their last eight games.

In addition, it moved the Orioles to within 6li games of the first-place New York Yankees, the closest the Orioles have been to the lead since June 10. But the big moment in the game came in the last of the sixth, when the Orioles executed a double play that really never happened. The Rangers had just tied the game at 2-2 on Jim Sundbcrg's double against Jim Palmer and had the bases loaded with one out after successive walks to Pepe Frias and Mickey Rivers. Bump Wills followed with a line drive that at first looked like a base-hit to left field. It wasn't a hit, however, as Kiko Garcia lunged for the ball.

Garcia knocked the ball down, and here's where the mass confusion started. Second-base umpire Jim Evans was a bit late in signaling that the ball was still in play, and the Rangers didn't have time to start running again. Instead, all were retreating to their respective bases. Garcia immediately threw to second for a force play, and Dauer relayed to Murray at first base. Wills clearly beat the throw and umpire Dale Ford clearly made a safe signal.

Then, Ford looked over at Evans, who also was waving "safe," meaning the ball was in play. Mur Arlington, Texas A phantom double play, a run-scoring double by Al Bumbry and some tight relief pitching combined to rescue the Orioles last night. When the long, hot evening was finally over at Arlington Stadium, the Birds had emerged with a 3-to-2 decision over the Texas Rangers for their third straight 1-run victory. The winning run was driven in by Al Bumbry, who lined a one-out double in the seventh inning to score Rich Dauer from first base. Earlier, both Dan Graham and Eddie Murray had doubled home runs against Gaylord Perry, who went all the way for the Rangers.

Then, Tippy Martinez and Tim Stoddard held Texas scoreless the rest of the way.

COLT NOTES-Roger Carr, who re- ported to camp five days late passed his physical early yesterday and joined the morning workouts. The veteran wide receiver, who wants to be traded to a team closer to his Cotton Valley (La.) home, went through all the drills and worked a little extra in an attempt to prove to McCormack that he's "ready to-work." McCormack was impressed, commenting, "I think Roger looked in good shape. I was told by several players that he was in the best shape ever coming into camp, but I don't have anything to com- pare him to. He worked hard this morningr and if he continues to do it, he'll make a Curtis Dickey, the Colts', i No.

Amadeo, the executive board member from Puerto Rico, said there had been widespread criticism of the work of an all-Soviet judging team, particularly in the javelin, discus and triple jump, which all were won by Soviet athletes. Competitors in several other Olympic events besides track and field have complained about the judging, but their events were handled by international panels and not all-Soviet officials.

The Larry Stewart looks like he was born to play in the National Football League. He has the arms of a blacksmith, looks strong enough to move mountains, and is surprisingly agile for a 6-foot-4, 272-pound man. But when the college draft was held in late May, the powerful University of Maryland offensive tackle was still available in the 10th round. There was some question about his desire to play football and his footwork on the offensive line when the Colts made him the fifth player selected in the 10th round. Stewart has heard these knocks at him many times, especially the one about his not being mean enough, and it has hurt him deeply.

"I want to set the record straight," said the gentle giant yesterday during a break at Goucher College. "I will hit anybody to play football. The day I leave the game, all I want them to say is 'Larry Stewart hits you and hustles on every And that is exactly what Stewart has been doing at the Colt camp these days. He's making the coaches smile and talk in awe about his strength and physical attributes, even though he is making a major adjustment from offensive to defensive tackle. Head coach Mike McCormack decided to move Stewart to defense Friday after getting a call from Terrapin coach Jerry really don't sense that much interest in the Roger Carr who reported to camp this week.

One football man I talked to about Carr said, "Look, you have to have individual ability to play this game, but it is still probably more team-oriented than any other sport you can name. I don't care how good you are, you can't do it by yourself in football. To me, that means physically, mentally, in practice, and in the games, you have tc dedicate yourself to help your team win any way you can. After the last few years, some of us aren't sure of Carr anymore. He's too much of a gamble to give the Colts what he is worth, if he is back at his best again." APPARENTLY, THAT'S THE rap Carr has to beat now.

The Colts were prepared to handle him the same way they did John Dutton, who ironically was the other first-round draft choice in 1974, when Joe Thomas had two of them to work with. After several below-par seasons, Dutton said he wouldn't play for the Colts again, and when they couldn't make a deal they thought was beneficial, they let him sit, figuring some team would eventually need a defensive end in the middle of a run at the division title. If not, they were prepared to eat him. When Too Tall Jones decided to take a fling at a boxing career, and Dallas thought Dutton might help fill the void, the Cowboys gave the Colts an excel- py phi ree "Finally, we were fed up and we told him about it," Amadeo said. All but one of the attending members approved sending the officials onto the field, Amadeo said, with Paulen abstaining.

He would not say who among the 16, all from different countries, dissented. U.S., West German and Norwegian members were not there because their countries are boycotting these Games are making only $3 an hour." Stewart gained his interest in labor relations at an early age, when his mother and father were struggling to earn a living for his family. "My mom Anna would never call in a day sick. She just didn't want to take anybody's money for not working," he said proudly. "To me, the people who help the working class get a little money are the great people.

Not football players." Stewart said his football career at Maryland took a sudden dip during his junior year, touching off the talk that he wasn't aggressive enough or wasn't concerned about football any more. "It all began when my mother died during my junior year," he said. "It made me turn against football for a while. I really botched it up. I wouldn't talk to anybody, and soon some people thought I did-1 n't care.

Coach Jake Hallum offensive line was probably the only one at school who realized that I still cared about football." Stewart said he tried to get the intensity back during his senior year, but "it was too late. People had already reached the conclusion that I wasn't interested. I still think there are some people around College Park who think I shouldn't have made the All-ACC team." The burly Stewart, who said he could go all year without talking to reporters and wouldn't care a bit, admitted in retro Hi 1, .4 2 if xf vise the pole vault, won by Wladyslaw Kozakiewicz, of Poland, with a world record leap of 5.7 metere (18 fttet, IIV2 inches.)

Jr. Bob caught 43 passes for a league-leading 1,112 yards, 11 touchdowns and a 25.9 average. The 1,112 yards is second only to Raymond Berry's single-season Colt total, and the 25.9 is a little better than Jimmy Orr's best average. When you can even be mentioned in the same sentence with Berry and Orr, you have demonstrated that you can play the game. But, Carr is 28 now, has been hurt so much and missed so much playing time, both in practice and games, that he has fans, other teams, some of his own teammates, questioning his durability, even his dedication.

What he has to do this season, now, is re-establish the fact that he still can, and will, play the game to the potential everybody has always agreed is there. If he does, then the Colts can get what they know him to be worth in a trade. In the meantime, a few teams might try to steal him, but if you talk with some of the other officials, you It Larry Stewart, Colt draftee and former offensive tackle for the Maryland Terrapins, lines up in camp and says he "will hit anybody to play football." Carr has to beat more than def Claiborne. After just one day of practice, Stewart performed well enough against the Redskin rookies to draw lavish praise from McCormack and line coach Ed Khayat. However, Stewart, unlike many wide-eyed rookies, isn't getting caught up in the excitement.

"That was just one scrimmage," he said matter-of-factly. "It's hard for me to read the heads on defense, and I can see a lot of other guys on the team doing better than me. Defensive tackle Mike Barnes, Joe Ehrmann and Herb Orvis is probably the strongest position on the team outside of the linebackers. If I don't produce in the next week or so, the exhibition season will start and I won't play." Stewart believes that in time like a year he could become an outstanding defensive tackle, but he said, "Time is one thing I don't have. Potential can only get you fired." If Stewart should face the.

moment that all rookies dread, it will not be the end of the world for him. Although McCormack and the Colt coaches might not like to hear it, Stewart says that "football is just a small part of my life. I'm mainly interested in being Larry Stewart the best at what I do. "Football is a way up for me. I want to play football for as long as I can, but my dream is to work with labor relations in a big corporation.

I want to help people who enders lent deal in draft choices. Derrick Hatchett and Tim Foley were drafted this year off picks coming from Dallas in that trade, and there is another first, and another second round pick coming next year. So, Carr really had no choice, except to sit at home without pay, and hope for a trade later in the season, or report now and show what he can do. That he is in camp now is a wise decision, if he still wants to be a top player. His position is far from hopeless.

History shows fans and teammates to be more forgiving than you might think. I don't believe most fans resent the money a player gets. None of us would turn it down, right? Get the best contract you can, then stop talking about money, trades, renegotiations, and prove on the field that you will do everything you can to earn it. DO THAT, AND the fans, the other players will accept you. Jim Palmer is a good example.

When he was constantly injured, constantly griping about money, fans got on him, and some players began sniping. Once he signed, quit talking and started pitching, he was accepted again. It will be the same with Carr. But, at 28, if he keeps talking about how unhappy he is, and wastes another season, he could be finished in the NFL. And, with his ability, that would be a tremendous waste.

41 I to 3 Ak I fa ONE OF THE easiest things in sports is to analyze the problems of others, tell them what they should do. But, the more you think about it, the more it seems that Koger carr career has reached a critical stage, a point where it can go one way or the other, maybe dramatically. For the last couple of years, he has marie it known that he would like to be traded so he can play closer to his Louisiana home, can tauit mm too much there. He's a good family man with young children, who wants to be with them, without making them move several times a year. But, in two of the last three seasons, he has played so little, the Colts can't get what they consider to be equal value in return.

That being the case, they aren't inclined to make a move they might live to regret. If Carr was a player of mediocre talent, there would be no problem. The Colts could release him, or accept a medium draft choice in a deal, and forget about him. But, Carr has tremendous ability. He is a first-round draft choice, with good size, great speed, who has proved he can get open deep and catch the football.

In other words, he has everything you look for in a wide RIGHT FROM HIS first season in 1974, he showed that he can be one of the premier receivers in the league. In 1976, which was a 14-game season, he 3-1. 1 Mi Sun photo Irving H. Phillips. r.
