1 How great? "Ken Kaiser called a great game, he really did," Callahan said, praising the umpire who worked behind home plate in Monday night's game which the A's won 7-1. A crowd of 21,841 on half-price night found everything great, too, of course. The A's broke a six-game losing streak on their return from a 3-10 road trip, and the recently acquired Callahan was a winner in his first major league start, allowing just three hits in six-plus innings. "Those are great fans. They had me all pumped up," Callahan said.

The 6-foot-7 right-hander was pitching for the New York Yankees' Class AAA farm club in Columbus, Ohio, before going to the A's in the June 15 trade for Matt Keough. Callahan lost to the Royals in relief last week but won over Monday night's home crowd quickly. "It was nice to see a good crowd, all for us, after the way we played on the In some towns, no one would have turned out tonight," Carney Lansford said. Lansford opened the scoring with his second homer of the season, a second-inning shot off Lary Gura. Bill Almon made the score 2-0 in the fourth with his first homer of the season.

Callahan, 1-1, opened the seventh by walking Hal McRae and giving up a double by Willie Aikens. He left at that point and Chris Codiroli, replaced by Callahan in the starting rotation, came on in relief and earned his first save. Don Slaught's one-out, RBI single in the seventh cut Oakland's lead to one run. Onix Concepcion bounced into a double play, leaving the score 2-1, and Codiroli left runners at second and third in the eighth. Gura, 6-9, and reliever Dan Quisenberry were touched for five runs in the bottom of the eighth, when Lansford stroked a three-run double.

"The key in that inning was the bases-loaded walk," Royals Manager Dick Howser said. Gura walked Dave Lopes intentionally to load the bases. Howser was hoping Jeff Burroughs, a slow runner, would bounce into an inning-ending double play, but Gura walked him. Lansford, the first batter to face Quisenberry, then doubled to left field. "I have about three career hits off Quisenberry.

He's one of the top two relievers, with (New York's) Goose Gossage, with that great sinker ball," Lansford said. "I challenged him with the sinker and he hit it," Quisenberry said.

But Chacon, the featherweight champion in the early '70's, turned down the WBC-sanctioned bout, saying he wanted to fight lightweight champion Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini first.

"We gave Bobby several extensions of time to make up his mind to reach an agreement with Don King Productions," said Suliaman, who lives in Mexico City but was in Los Angeles Monday. He said an announcement on WBC plans for a tournament to determine Chacon's successor was imminent. Los Angeles Promoter Don Chargin, who had offered Chacon $1 million to defend against Camacho, called the situation "ridiculous." "It's a shame Bobby can't accept my $1 million to defend against Camacho. It's also a shame that the California Athletic Commission did nothing to defend one of their own," Chargin said. Chacon had sought court approval of a May 15 fight against Cornelius Boza-Edwards.

Women's quarter-finals today sent Wade against South Africa's Yvonne Vermaak, King against giant-killer Kathy Jordan, top-seeded Martina Navratilova against Jennifer Mundel of South Africa and No. 3 Andrea Jaeger1 against No. 11 Barbara Potter.

15 Kathy Rinaldi and No. 16 Claudia Kohde of West Germany. Shavlik earned after leading the 24-4 and ACC The 6-foot-8 makes a big difference, when you have a man here who keeps you in the ballgame." Hernandez was particularly inspirational as the Mets won four of a six-game series with his old club, but he says he has "no personal vendetta against the Cards." "That's just the way I have to be. If I lay back and be a dead head, I won't be in the game very long," Hernandez says. "All the time, I have to scream and shout.

I'm a gabby player. That's just the way I am." Hernandez sees some similarities between the Mets of now and the Cards of five years ago. The difference, he says, was the suddenness of St. Louis' rise to the top, helped by instant stars such as Green and Willie McGee. In the meantime, the Mets will build with young players like Darryl Strawberry, who has progressed in fits and starts.

It'll take time, Hernandez says, and he hopes Mets fans have the patience to endure a few more losses and a few more errors, like the one recently that caused a small Shea Stadium crowd to boo Strawberry. "How often do you get a Willie McGee, who can wear it out from the get-go?" Hernandez says. "We have the potential here, with young players like Strawberry. "I cringed when they booed him, though. Give him a break.

It's fine if they boo a veteran. Heck, they can boo me. "I was a rookie once. I got sent down. It's not easy.

I don't care what kind of stats you have in Triple A. The pressure is tremendous, especially in New York. I don't know if I could have handled being a rookie in New York." By JOHN NELSON AP Sparta Writer Was there something wrong with Keith Hernandez? Was it halitosis or the heartbreak of psoriasis? Didn't he get along with St. Louis Manager Whitey Herzog, or were there some mysterious skeletal remains stashed in a dark corner of Hernandez's past? Why, in the world, did the Cardinals trade this smooth fielding first baseman with a .299 lifetime batting average to the New York Mets? That's what people were asking when the trade was made Hernandez to the Mets for pitchers Neil Allen and Rick Ownbey. "I had no problem with Whitey," Hernandez says.

"Hey, they got a good pitcher for me. That kid Allen can pitch. His career is on the upshoot." The trade, made on the June 15 deadline, is being hailed as one of the best in a decade for the Mets, and it has regained some respect for general manager Frank Cashen. It sent a 2-7 pitcher in Allen and a control problem in Ownbey to the Cardinals for a Gold Glove first baseman with a career .299 batting average. Had Herzog gone mad? If he has, it's the same madness with which he transformed the Cardinals from a last-place club in 1979 to world champions in 1982.

"You have to trade something to get something," Herzog has said in the past and has proven time and again by dealing away the likes of Rollie Fingers, Ted Simmons and Garry Tem-pleton. This time, his club was desparately in need of pitching help, and he was willing to gamble. Promising second-year player Dave Green, with his .295 average and dynamite swing, was ready LOS ANGELES (AP) Bobby Chacon, stripped of the World Boxing Council super featherweight championship Monday, "lost track of what boxing is" when he failed to defend his title against Hector Camacho of New York, the president of the WBC says. "I think perhaps he received some bad advice or he got confused by people that didn't really mean to help him," Jose Suliaman said in confirming that the WBC had withdrawn its recognition of Chacon as the champion super featherweight. "The title is now vacant as of today," Suliaman said Monday, adding that 21 representatives of boxing federations from seven continents were unanimous in making the decision.

"I believe he lost track of what boxing is and perhaps he felt that he could dictate in his division if he wished," Suliaman said. Chacon, a veteran fighter from Oroville, came in conflict with the WBC when he failed to come to terms for a Don King-promoted title defense against Camacho. Suliaman said the fight to fill the offensive void left by Hernandez. The Cardinals immediately assigned Ownbey to the minors, where he will get the seasoning he did not receive at New York. Allen, meanwhile, was designated for starting duty and worked eight shutout innings against his old teammates in his first appearance with St.

Louis. If Herzog's past dealings are any indication, the trade will pay off for both clubs. In the meantime, Hernandez is getting over the shock of a deal that ended eight seasons at St. Louis. "My immediate reaction coming here was that this club is a lot better than I thought," Hernandez says.

"They've got players who can play and players who want to play." Hernandez came to the Mets in a mild slump, but immmediately began hitting the ball when he donned the New York uniform. He has upped his average by 23 points to .307 with 20 hits in 49 trips as a Met, and has hit safely in 1 1 of 13 games since he switched teams. "I'm on kind of a honeymoon right now," Hernandez said. "But all these fans want is a winner. They're dying for a Met winner, a front-division club.

And I can understand their frustration." Mets third baseman Hubie Brooks says the addition of Hernandez has improved the club by about 25 percent. "He keeps us on our toes. We never get out of a ballgame with him here," Brooks says. "And that Ex-Knick Shavlik dies of cancer at age 49 RALEIGH, N.C.
