BREAM, Sports EdHor 334-1131, 17 Out Went Jim Lefebvre, In Came Buckner, And From Collision Cesar Cedeno Gets His 1st Grand Slam Homer For Houston Astros By BRUCE LOWITT Associated Press Sports Writer don't know what "else you could call it," Houston Manger Harry Walker commented. I wasn't an error. If it had been just a single or a double nobody would have gotten very excitec about it." Bob Watson of the Astros knew exactly what to call it "That's the all-time 1 he laughed. But the official scorer put it differently, marking "HR, on" next to Cesar Cedeno's name.

156 FEET IN AIR The bases-loaded home run, Cedeno's first grand slam in his two years in the major leagues, traveled barely 150 feet in the air, then rolled another 200 or so to the wall. Nevertheless, the "blast," Cedeno's ninth fiomer of the year, was the big one for the Astros Thursday night, catapulting them to a 9-3 victory over Los Angles that dropped the Dodgers games behind idle San Francisco in the National League West. In me only other two National League games, Montreal defeated me Chiago cubs 9-5 and the New York Mets beat Philadelphia 3-1. LOADED BASES Claude Osteen of the Dodgers was trying to protect a 3-2 lead when he loaded the bases with two out in the fifth inning on two walks around Marty single. Up came Cedeno--and up went the ball, arcing toward right field.

Out went second baseman Jim Lefebvre and in came outfleler Bill Buckner. They collided just as the ball brushed off the tip of Lefebvre's outstretched glove and Cedeno steamed around the bases unmolested. "Not too many guys bit grand slams--and not too many hit inside-thfri)ark homers either," Cedeno grinned. "I'm glad I did." SINGLE IN WH Ihe Houston center fielder, who also had a double to raise ins league-leading total to 33 two-baggers, wound up his hot niglit with a single in the Astros' three-run eighth inning mat wrapped up Don Wilson's 13th victory. Expos rookie pitcher Ernie McAnally, equalling Montreal's club record of five successive victories to boost his record to 8-9, chipped in with his firs major league homer in a sixrun uprising in the sixth inning tha sent the Cubs down to their ninth loss in 13 games.

Jim Plunkett, the Heisman Trophy winner from Stanford defensive problem," Prothro" commented.

Carollo. entering his John Mazur to start ai quarterback against the Atlanta Fal- big league after 14 weeks in the minors, had a frustrating homecoming Thursday night. His misplay in the eighth inning of shortstop Bud Barrel son's fly set the stage for two unearned runs as the New York Mets beat the Phillies 3-1, extending Philadelphia's losing streak to five games. Hisle, whose wife presentet him with a baby son at 7:30 a m. Thursday, didn't get much rest before his return to the National League.

But it wasn't a lack of sleep that caused the ball (Harrelson's error. "The went into the lights," Hisle said "And when it came out I thought it would have been a little lower than it was." Hisle admitted that his son's arrival into the world didn'l exactly come at the best of times. "I didn't have too much time to think about baseball," he said, adding, "I guess I should have thought about It a little But Hisle said there's no sense brooding about the error because, "nothing I do now will change it." The young outfielder said he took his wife, Sheila, to the hospital about 2 a.m. and "just moped around" until the baby's arrival. The miscue that allowed Harrelson to reach base started the Mets' whining rally and ended a pitchers' duel between New York's Gary Gentry and Philadelphia's Rick Wise.

Wayne Garrett and Cleon Jones followed me error with consecutive singles to break a 1-1 tia. Then Garrett scored on a fielder's choice by Ed Kranepool. The Met victory ruined a youth experiment by Phillies manager Prank Lucchesi that included, in addition to Hisle, a pair of young sluggers who combined 'or 72 home runs this summer at Eugene, in the Pacific Coast League. Lucchesi started Hisle in leftfield, Mike Anderson in center, and Greg Luzmski at first base. Luzinski, a strapping 6-foot-L, 220-pounder who turned 20 last November, was the only one of the trio to get a hit, but Lucchesi said he wasn't disappointed.

The manager said he regretted that Gentry was the )itcher Anderson and Luzinski lad to face in major league debuts. But he added: "They would have had'to face lim sometime, and there's no time like the present."

Potbellied Mickey Lolich Wins His 22nd For Detroit, Most For Tiger Pitcher Since 1946; Sonny Siebert Bats, Hurls Red Sox To Win Lee Trevino Says He May Go Fishing By BOB GREEN WETHERSFIBLD, Conn.

(AP) now I'm in trouble." Lee Trevino had just finished play in the pro-am event, his only practice session before today's first round in (tie $110,000 Greater Hartford Open Golf Tournament. "I ought to practice some, but I'm just dead tired," said Trevino, who is making his first start since an emergency appendectomy less than three weeks ago. "It still hurts some and I can't get the club out, can't extend it, the way I want to. "As a result I'm hooking everything. I always play a fade and now I'm hooking, so I'm in trouble here.

Not much chance. Like I say. I should practice right now but I'm just too tired. "So I think I'll go fishing," he said, and flashed a grin. "There's nothing wrong with my fishing stroke." Despite his protestations, the talkative Trevino remained one of the top choices for the $22,000 first prize in mis 72 hole event that winds up Monday.

He's won five times this year, including that unprecedented sweep of the American, Canadian and British Open titles, ands second to Jack Nicklaus on the money winning list with $197.219.

By BERT ROSENTHAL Associated Press SporU Writer BiUy Martin, Detroit's slender, witty manager, jokingly calls Mickey Lolich "the best left-hander pot-bellied pitcher I've got." Lolich says, "I don't mind people saying that I'm pot-bellied or fat. People joke about It in the papers when I'm winning, but what I don't like is when I lose they sort of twist things around and make me took bad by calling me out-of- shape, a slob or things like that. I don't like that." Lolich has not had to worry much this season about unkind remarks.

Most of his press has been good. After all, he has won 22 games--only one less than major league leader Vida Blue of Oakland--and lost just 10. The veteran southpaw posted his 22nd victory-most by a Tiger lefthander when Hal NewhouMr won 26-with a six-hitter Wednesday night as Detroit whipped the Cleveland Indians 7-0. In the only other American League night game, the New York Yankees routed Washington 11-1. In the afternoon, Boston blanked Baltimore 3-0, and Milwaukee edged Kansas City 1-0.

Lolich, who works every fourth day, said he thinks be has a chance of catching or passing Blue, who pitches every fifth day, in both victories and strikeouts. Lolich said he figures to make seven more starts to only five for the fire- balling A's left-hander.
