Los Angeles pins hopes on Sutton second baseman Brian Doyle, who has filled in admirably for injured Willie Randolph. Lemon indicated that first baseman Chris Chambliss (bad hand) probably would not play tonight, while Mickey Rivers, the hobbling centre fielder, is expected to start. It is a measure of the Yanks' depth that they are winning this World Series with several regulars in and out of the lineup. The makeshift right side of the infield, with Doyle and first baseman Jim Spencer in game five, did not hurt the Yanks at all. With Nettles playing third base in textbook fashion in the Series, the Yanks infield has far outshone the Dodgers.

Lasorda and Sutton used the Monday news conference to defend their leaky infield, which has committed four errors, but more importantly, has yet to make a situation-saving play. Im not sure of the statistics, but I think we had the second best defence in the National League, said Lasorda. The infielders shouldn't be buried because of a couple of tough plays. Nettles' spectacular play has magnified the Dodgers defensive problems. Los Angeles infield had made only the routine plays during the first four games of the Series before collapsing Sunday in the Yanks 12-2 rout.

All I can say is they are the same guys who helped me get my 21 wins in 1976 and the same guys who got me in the World Series the last two years and three of the last five years, said Sutton. Another area in which the Dodgers have come out a poor second is the designated hitter spot, the American League's wrinkle which is being used in this Series. Reggie Jackson, with a .444 batting average, six runs batted in and his mere presence in clutch situations, has given the Yanks a major advantage over the Dodgers, who have gotten three hits and one RBI from their designated hitters, Lee Lacy and Rick Monday, LOS ANGELES (AP) New York -Yankees, unhealthy but happy, send tender-armed Catfish Hunter against Don Sutton tonight in the game Los Angeles Dodgers must win to keep alive the 75th World Series. After sweeping games three, four and five in Yankee Stadium, the defending champion Yankees crossed the continent to try and nail down their 22nd World Championship by winning either game six or game seven. If there is a seventh game, 25-game winner Ron, Guidry of the Yankees will oppose left-handed sin-kerballer Tommy John of the Dodgers, the opposing managers announced Monday.

Sutton, who said he pitched well in losing game three to Guidry's pitching and third baseman Graig Nettles- brilliant fielding, was upbeat about accepting the mound assignment "There's no gloomy attitude on the club, said the right-handed cur-veball specialist. No one is dressed in black and nobody has made the funeral arrangements yet. Sutton said the Yanks could expect him to change speeds and throw, to spots, a style that Hunter has used since shoulder troubles and age have reduced his velocity. The key to pitching is to change speeds and keep hitters off bal ancei Sutton said Monday at a news conference, also attended by Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda and Yankees skipper Bob Lemon. Hunter has made a miraculous recovery from an ailing shoulder, receiving a novel manipulation treatment June 24, then rescuing the comeback Yanks by going 10-3 for the rest of the regular season.

Hunters arm is not 100 per cent, and he is just one of several Yanks who: are hurting as the long season draws to a close. Catcher Thurman Munson, suffering from knee and shoulder ailments, had treatments on an ailing ankle Monday, according to Lemon. Other walking wounded who used Monday's off day for medical attention were shortstop Bucky Dent and NHL governors support Ziegler when he allowed McCourt to stay with Detroit Red Wings pending the outcome of the case. The Wings signed Kings goalie Rogie Vachon to a reported three-year, $2 million contract as a free agent. Under NHL rules, the Wings had to compensate the Kings.

Los Angeles received McCourt after arbitration. Judge DeMascio ruled the NHL rules in such cases were a violation of anti-trust laws. He granted an injunction last month permitting McCourt to stay with the Wings until a final decision was made in the case. That could be years away. The trade violated an NHL bylaw that forbids trading a player picked up in the waiver draft for a year after he is claimed.

Bouchard announced Sunday in New York that he was retiring from hockey rather than report to the Capitals. Meanwhile, the Dale McCourt question will be heard Thursday when the NHL and Los Angeles Kings take their case to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The NHL and the Kings will ask a three-judge panel to rule that U.S. District Judge Robert DeMascio of Detroit overstepped his authority Schoenhals tastes Canucks snap Js win streak S-P Services The National Hockey League board of governors Monday defeated a motion to amend league bylaws regarding players claimed in the annual waiver draft.

Had it passed, a spokesman for league president John Ziegler said, it would have allowed a team to trade a player claimed in this year's waiver draft. The vote was taken after Ziegler declared null and void the trade by Washington Capitals of defence-man Pierre Bouchard back to Montreal. less than 24 hours after they had picked him up in the first round of the waiver draft, in exchange for the Canadiens high-scoring minor league winger Rod Schutt. Marc LeClair Referee Wes Smith of Saskatoon assessed Moose Jaw 15 of 24 minor penalties. The clubs split six majors and four game misconducts.

When we play on the road, we don't have many problems. But at home, we aren't aggressive enough and the opposition is dominating us. explained Frey. Our power play was not that effective again while Moose Jaw took advantage of almost every situation. J's have a 2-1 mark on the road while they are 1-2 at the Arena.

CALGARY (Special) A long time between drinks, maybe, but the wine was almost as sweet Monday for Dorenda Schoenhals. I love this place, said the pert Saskatoon skip, moments after pocketing the 4,000 winners cheque from the inaugural Autumn Gold women's pash bonspiel. here? tofore richest event in the history cf distaff curling. Schoenhals. who was, as they say.

with child at the time, directed Saskatchewan's standard-bearer to the Canadian Lassie title here back in 1970. She survived a three-way, sudden-death playoff then, much like the three-game, sudden-death showdown she outlasted Monday. You could describe it as my most satisfying success since 1970, she was saying. So I guess Calgary is my lucky town. When is the next bonspiel around here? Schoenhals, of course, was a northern Lassie finalist in Saskatchewan last year.

But Charlene Goodwin, the eventual champion, prevailed, extending Dorenda's string of Lassie goose eggs to seven. Goodwin wasn't here, so Schoenhals had no opportunity for vengeance. But she took it out on Regina's Marj Mitchell, 8-4, in Mondays final, and it didn't sit that well with Marj, who was Goodwin's victim in last years Saskatchewan Lassie final. This time around. Schoenhals ebacker Jerry Friesen of Montreal, Hamilton linebacker Ben Zambiasi and Toronto's Edwards.

It goes in March, where curling is generally conceded to have been conceived in Scotland, at the Perth Ice Rink.

Schoenhals will have Elizabeth (Short) Folk at third when the heavy firing starts. But Folk couldn't make this scene, so Schoenhals brought along Pat (Crimp) Hamilton, who's not exactly a slouch. The front end consisted of Janet (Crimp) Johnson and Sue Hicks. Qualifying from the section of the triple-knockout preliminary round that commenced Friday with 32 rinks contesting, the Schoenhals rink pummelled Calgarys Marg Scott 9-4, then stole a 6-5 decision from Edmonton veteran Kay Baldwin to qualify for the final. Mitchell, who lost the national bauble in a playoff three years ago at Moncton, was in there with the same record, having stumbled through the section, then bypassing Calgarys Liz Connellan 10-2) and defending Alberta Lassie champion Betty Cole of Edmonton 6-5 in a 12-end marathon Mitchell, -with Kenda Richards, Nancy Kerr and Wendy Leach, hung up a pair of early singles before presenting Schoenhals with an op 1974 winner, were the only quarterbacks nominated for most outstanding player, joining Sykes.

"We just weren't ready and I don't know why, J's coach Lome Frey said. Moose Jaw checked and skated well and they deserve full marks for the win. Frey was disappointed with his team's showing on home ice as the J's over-all record dropped to 3-3. The kids need to wake up and realize they have to play hard to beat teams like Prince Albert (Raiders) and Moose Jaw at home. Our defence didn't do the job I expected.

We were sloppy and out of position and a little intimidated by Moose Jaw's size." Veteran Tim McNabb scored two goal and added three assists to pace Canucks. Larry Gaucher also scored twice for the winners while Jim Archibald, Wayne Wagner, Bill Sobkowich and Greg Metz contributed singles. Marc LeClair sparked J's with two goals while Ken Morrow and Gorrigall MONTREAL (CP) Toronto Argonauts defensive end Jim Corrigall was selected in three of the five categories of Schenley Award nominations announced Monday by the Canadian Football League.
