"I decided I couldn't show him how tired I was so I ran a little faster. "Once I took the lead I had to concentrate to keep the same pace. If I ran too fast, I might have made my leg cramps worse and not be able to finish and, if I went too slow, someone might have caught me." No one came close. Mexico's Mario Cuevas was second in 2:21.13, which was 54 seconds BY GIL PETERS UPI Sports Writer BOSTON (UPI) The hares fell out early, leaving an unknown tortoise to win the hottest Boston Marathon ever with a slow but steady pace.

Georgetown University student Jack Fultz, a 27-year-old Coast Guard veteran, came out of his shell at the 19-mile mark to pass fast-starting Richard Mabuza of Swaziland in the 90-degree heat.

behind Fultz. Puerto Rico's Jose DeJesus was third in 2:22.10 to lead the Sanblas squad to its second straight team title. The winning time was more than 11 minutes slower than the 2:09.55 record set in 1975 by Bill Rodgers of suburban Meh-ose. Rodgers, who passed up the event to run May 22 in the U.S. Olympic trials at Eugene, said Fultz ran a great race.

"When I saw how hot it was in Hopkinton (the suburb 2 Erving said of the leap that seemed to put him several feet over everyone's head. His Itfhg arm reached out and, as he said, "I hit the ball with a full hand, just smashed it back to 'the floor. It felt good." Gervin scooped up the loose ball for a desperation shot but missed. Time ran out as the ball was peppered near the basket like a volleyball. Erving was the only Net to exceed 20 points but six Nets, led by Skinner's 15, reached double figures.

Four players, led by Larry Kenon's 27 points and Gervin's 25, had 20 or more for San Antonio but the other six players managed only 16 points combined. In the other semifinal series Monday night, Kentucky defeated Denver, 126-114, to take a 2-1 lead in games. Bird Averitt riddled Denver for 18 of his 40 points in the last quarter to pace the Colonels, who host the fourth game Wednesday night Artis Gilmore added 36 points in the Colonels "two-southpaw attack." Kentucky took full command early in the last quarter when Averitt broke an 88-88 tie with a pair of baskets. Chuck Williams got into early foul trouble trying to contain the little Kentucky guard and Averitt had things all his way throughout the last half. The Colonels never trailed in the final period after Averitt's two baskets lifted them into a 92-88 lead with 10:37 remaining.

Nets Lead Series, 3 where' the race began), I thought the winning time would be about 2: 25," Rodgers said. Another astounding effort came in the women's division. Sockless Kim Merritt of the University of Wisconsin-Park-side defeated 77 other female competitors in a blistering 2:47.10, then had to be treated at a local hospital for raw and swollen feet. Miki Gorman of Los Angeles, the 1974 winner, was second in 2:52.27 while Dorothy Doolittle of Austin, was third in 2:56.26. All the runners benefited from the drinks provided by fans along the route and from hoses and sprinklers aimed their way.

A number of runners were treated for heat exhaustion and other ailments but no one was seriously injured. A field of 1,899 marathoners started the 26-mile, 385-yard run in temperatures that soared above 100 degrees in the sun of Hopkinton Green. At the race's end, closer to the seacoast, the thermometer read 68 degrees. Despite the heat, 413 runners finished in under three hours. Johnny Kelley the elder, a twotime winner whose son has also competed, finished his 45th run in 3:30.

"It was a great race," said 1975 winner Rodgers, who watched the marathon from the press bus. "But I'm sure glad I didn't have to run in it."

Ironically, Fultz said he would have skipped the Boston race if he had qualified in an earlier marathon. "I felt I could do it (qualify) if I had a good day and I did," he said. Temperatures hovered near 90 degrees under muggy skies for much of the route, but the 5-foot-9, 145-pound Fultz was barely sweating and not even breathing hard when he broke the tape in downtown Boston, 54 seconds ahead of Mexico's Mario Cuevas. Spectators with garden hoses lined the route from Hopkinton, spraying Fultz and the other 1,898 grateful runners as they passed.

"They were great. They deserve all the credit," said Fultz.

"They really made the race bearable." Fultz, a Coast Guard veteran who now lives in Arlington, grabbed the lead from Richard Mabuza, a member of the Swaziland Royal Police, eight miles from the finish. He felt threatened only once after that, on Heartbreak Hill, a series of grueling hills, two miles further down the road. "My legs started to cramp up and I was afraid if it got bad they might catch me. But they went away," he said. From then on, Fultz said he tried to run just fast enough to win.

By United Press International Julius Erving had 32 points, 10 rebounds and six assists Monday night but it was a spectacular blocked shot with, four seconds left that gave the New York Nets a 110-108 victory over the San Antonio Spurs and a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven ABA semifinal playoff series. San Antonio opened up with a 12-2 burst in three minutes and it took nine points by Erving in the second period to help the Nets catch up at halftime. "I got a chance to rest a little in the third quarter then I just got my juices going and asserted myself more in the last period," Erving said. He asserted himself by scoring five points in the first minute of the period and leading the Nets on a 13-6 tear that gave them a comfortable 98-89 edge with eight minutes left. The Nets seemed to have the Marathoners Careful In Heat Slowest Pace In Years game won, but the stubborn Spurs closed to within two points.

The Nets had the ball but Kim Hughes missed a forced shot. San Antonio took possession and, with a chance to tie or win on a three-point shot, called time out. Inbound-ing with nine seconds left, the Spurs gave the ball to Mike Gale 20 feet from the basket. "I was supposed to take the ball around, an outside pick and drive to the basket," Gale said. "If they sagged off, I had (George) Gervin to pass to.

I wasn't going to shoot it but I thought I was free and I had been shooting well." Gale, who had scored 20 points on 10-of-16 shots, mostly from the outside, started his drive, held up and fired a short jumper with four seconds to go. Al Skinner, guarding Gale, was picked off but Erving left his man to help out. "I don't know how high I got up but it was high enough," Association stars Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics and Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia 76ers as the only players ever to win three consecutive MVP trophies in pro basketball. By PHIL REED BOSTON (UPI) How do you run a marathon when it's 90 degrees out? Veerrry carefully. Jack Fultz was careful not to run too fast or too slow Monday just fast enough to win the 80th Boston Marathon and earn a chance to make the U.S.

Olympic team next month. Fultz, 27, a student at Georgetown University and a native of Franklin, fought off mild leg cramps for the last six miles of the race by running at a strong, but even pace to finish the 26-mile, 385-yard course in 2:20.19.
