Ruffian, winner of 10 straight previous races, broke down during the early going of a match race with Kentucky Derby winner Foolish Pleasure and had to be destroyed after surgery was unsuccessful. "THE RUSH-RUSH style of living and racing in America has created monster," said Dr. Harthill, of Lexington, Ky.

"I don't know if I got all of the ball, but I got enough," said the Jubilant Hendricks after his three-run blast in the 12th inning led the Orioles to a 6-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Hendricks, a .176 hitter for the Orioles the last three years, was as surprised as anyone that the ball went out. "I figured I hit it too high and I was mad because I didn't hit it better," said Hendricks. With one away, Bobby Grich drew a walk from Bill Campbell, 2-5, and Tommy Davis singled. After Doug DeCinces popped out, Hendricks planted his fourth homer of the year into the right field seats.

FERGUSON Jenkins pitched a three-hitter and Jeff Bor-roughs drove in three runs to lead Texas over New York, 7-2. The rain was a blessing for Leedom, restoring the lead he enjoyed after two rounds. He had already squandered it before the storm.

He started with a one-shot lead over Dave Dickman and Bob Cantrell, but by the time that threesome reached the sixth tee, Dickman was two shots ahead of Leedom and three ahead of Cantrell. "I'D BOGEYED 1, 4 and 5," said Leedom. "Was I happy to see the rain? Oh, yeah, you better believe it." The NCR greenskeeper. Jack Hart, closed the course for two reasons. One, water was standing on many greens and in many bunkers.

And two, the course had just been fertilized Wednesday and, explained head pro Mike Kurzyn-owski, "If the sun came out and there were players on the course, all you'd see tomorrow would be brown footprints."

In black or brown, regularly 47.00 slip I COUNTRY, DAYTON, SALEM AND By BOB STERN Daily News Sports Writer Someone should tell Cathy Kronauge that golf was not invented by the Brothers Grimm. Community Golf course Is not an enchanted forest and returning champions are not to be slain like Goliath, especially by a 23-year-old entered in only her second tournament. Maybe she knows already, but you never could tell by the way she's playing. After defeating three-time defending champion Diana Schwab on Wednesday, Kronauge holds a 2-up advantage over another returning champ, Janet Bead-sley, after 16 holes of the DWGA tourney at Community.

The two women Were holing out No. 1 the rain that had plagued them throughout the back nine turned into a downpour. Lightning appeared on the horizon and Beardsley decided she had enough. She halted the tourney, hoping the rain would pass. It never did and the two girls will complete their semifinal round this morning.

THE WINNER will meet Jamie Wise in the finals. Wise Scheduling 36 holes for Friday had already been rejected because it would have meant NCR members would have not been allowed to play all day. So, the tournament was shortened from 72 to 54 holes with the final 18 today. THAT DECISION not only repaired Leedom's lead, it also effectively dismissed many players who might have had a chance to make up deficits with two good days but are too far behind to recover in just one day. "I'd say anybody up to maybe six or seven strokes back still has a chance," Leedom said.

"But the guys 10 back who would have been in it if they had two days to play aren't in it anymore. "But it'll definitely help me, cause after the way I played today, I'm gonna go hit some balls. But not at Madden, you can count on that SALE YOU CENTERVILLE, O. men's shoes, Dayton Mets phone orders, 222-2561 21.90 UPPER VALLEY MALL METS SUNDAY SHOP TOWN Wise upset the qualifying leader, Kay Kennedy by a lopsided score of five and four. "1m going to look forward to the two holes tomorrow (Friday) and then think about the finals," Kronauge said after learning of the postponement.

"I do consider these matches upsets," she continued. "I'm new to this type of tournament and new to this type of pressure. I've played match tournaments in high school and did well but for these kind of marbles, it's a different ball game. I play better under pressure. "I'm not surprised I'm playing well.

I never had a chance to play in the DWGA tourney before. I've never been able to take a week off from work and until last year, I couldn't afford it." KRONAUGE HAD only one stretch of trouble through the 16 holes. On No. 14, Kronauge's tree. That enabled Beardsley to capture the hole and move only one down.

On the 15th, Beardsley made a charge. Kronauge's second shot alnded in a trap while Beardsley shot landed five feet from the cup. Kronauge chipped out and one putted. Beardsley's putt stopped just short and she remained one down. Given new life, Kronauge captured 16 to go two up again and that's where they stood when the rains came.

Wise's victory over Kennedy also must be considered an upset. "I KNEW I'd have to play well," said Wise, who will be 21 next week. "Kay's a consistent player. I just didn't get into trouble and I one-putted a lot of greens. Indeed she did one putt a lot of greens, 11 of the 14 she played to be exact.

Included in that total are holes 11, 12 and 13, the three holes that insured her victory.

KIT ATTACHMENT WITH THE PURCHASE OF A 21" SNAPPER MOWER. By GARY NUHN Daily News Sports Writer One time before, Don Leedom remembers -rain closing the NCR golf course before an important day.

He was in the finals of the .1971 club championship and playing perhaps the best golf of his life. He was to meet Dale Parker the next day for the championship. But heavy rains closed the course, so Leedom went to Madden Park to a i on the driving range. "I'd hit my balls and was out collecting them," he remembers. "I was about 250 yards away when I saw this car pull up to the tee.

I started running but there was no way jo get there. When I got back to the tee, the car was gone and so were my clubs." THE NEXT day, using bor-rowed clubs, Leedom lost to Parker. So Thursday, when the third round of the Dayton District Golf association tournament -was cancelled by a late morning deluge at NCR, Leedom was left with memories of Great Crimes of the Past.
