"There are just a bunch of great players," Kleine said. "It just an honor to be drafted in the first round." Kleine transferred to Arkansas after spending his freshman year at Notre Dame.

LOUIS (AP) Although three games do not a season ma ke, batting leader Tommy Herr has ideas about where the surging St. Louis Cardinals may be headed. "I think if there's anyone who doesn't think we're for real, they had better look again," said Herr as St. Louis was sweeping a wee-kerd series from the Chicago Cubs. "I know we can score runs a lot of ways.

If we stay close, we can find a way to win." The Cards, while prevailing three times at Wrigley ield in Chicago, vaulted into third place two games behind the front-running Montreal Expos in what has become a hot National League East race. They open a three-game series Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies at the start of a six-game home stand. From now until July 14, the day ahead of the annual All-Star Game break, they'll be playing 20 of their 25 games at Busch Stadium. On Sunday, as St. Louis was putting the finishing touches to a 5-2 victory, exuberant Cards fans among a turnout of 36.262 vented their emotions by chanting, "Sweep, sweep, sweep." That was OK with Whitey Her-zog, but the St.

Louis manager also retained a perspective. He warned, in fact, that the Cubs could even square accouts when they visit Busch Stadium for a return series next weekend. Herzog, whose club was selected by many to finish last in the NL East, said he respects an injury-weakened Chicago team that has now dropped five contests in a row. "I still think they're the best team in the division. They're not operating with a full deck now," the Cards' pilot said.

"We" 11 "see their three best (pitchers) next weekend." In the series that just concluded, the Cubs were looking at a St Louis club that even though slowed on the basepaths showed ample resources to win. Right fielder Andy Van Slyke's sliding catch of a foul ball off the bat of Keith Moreland nailed down an 11-10 decision for the Cards on Friday. On Saturday, righthander Danny Cox fired a four-hitter for a 2-0 edge. And on Sunday, although held to seven hits, St. Louis was able to capital FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.

(AP) -Center Joe Kleine, the single-season scoring leader at the University of Arkansas, could be picked as high as fifth in Tuesday's National Basketball Association draft. picks fifth, followed by Sacramento, Golden State and Dallas. The 6-fooUl, 255-pound Kleine says he has heard lots of rumors about the draft. "I won't believe anything until I'm drafted," he said by telephone from his apartment Sunday. "There's just a lot of anticipation and there's a lot of nervousness." In the 1984 draft, each of the top six picks got contracts of more Major AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division L.
