SPORTS BRIEFS FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS Phi Is extend Leyva's pact PHILADELPHIA As the new Philadelphia Phi Hies prepared to play together for the first time, General Manager Lee Thomas announced Tuesday the club has extended the contract of rookie manager Nick Leyva through the 1990 season. Leyva's salary reportedly increased from $150,000 to $200,000 a year. Thomas has not blamed Leyva for the Phi Hies' last-place posting in the NL East and apparently wants to give him additional time to work with the new players the team acquired in two weekend trades. "I think he deserved to come back," Thomas said. "This is as good as time as any to announce it.

All along in my mind, I knew he would be back next year." "I'm excited about it," said Leyva. "The organization is going in the right direction and we've made some major moves. I think we've changed the nucleus of our ballclub and I think we needed changes. These new guys are all big-league ballplayers. I'm really looking forward to helping turn things around." Matuszak eulogized at funeral Mickey Marvin, a close friend and teammate of John Matuszak, said at the ex-football player's funeral today in Oak Creek, he will remember the tearful discussions the two shared more than the sport they played together.

Matuszak, an Oak Creek native, died of heart failure Saturday in Burbank, at the age of 38. About 600 people attended a funeral service at the Catholic church Matuszak attended as a child. The service was marked by eulogies from Marvin and Los Angeles Raiders managing general partner Al Davis, who said Matuszak "wore those (Raiders') colors with poise, and he wore those colors with a charismatic pride." Utah administered steroids Ned Alger, a Utah assistant athletic director who oversees the Ute medical program, says team officials made steroids available to up to six football players in the late 1970s and set up a program to provide players with safe doses of the muscle-building drugs. Alger said he "vaguely" remembers a meeting in the late 1970s which included defensive coordinator Tom Gadd, who is on trial in Columbia, S.C., for misdemeanor charges of importing steroids into the state, en, couraging players to use steroids and helping to monitor use of the drugs. Gadd testified Tuesday that Utah had a program in the early 1980s to give steroids to players under a prescription provided by the team doctor.

111 Jimmy Howard, the former American record-holder in the high jump, admits he tried anabolic steroids briefly in 1979, but gained too much weight and has not used them since. Howard, in an interview with the Toronto Sun from his home in Sugarland, Texas, was responding to allegations made Tuesday by Canadian high jumper Milt Ottey at the federal inquiry into drug use in amateur sport. "I'd be lying if I said I never tried them," said Howard, who placed 10th at the Seoul Olympics. "I gained so much weight (from the drugs) I couldn't jump. If I had tried (the drugs) much longer, I wouldn't have had a career.

The deck of cards Mother Nature dealt to me, I was starting to reshuffle them." Sullivan will take time off from racing Danny Sullivan, who quit after just 16 laps in last Sunday's Detroit Grand Prix because of pain from his broken arm and fear of further aggravating the injury, will miss the next two Indy-car races. The 1985 Indianapolis 500 winner and defending CART-PPG Indycar champion will be replaced Sunday at Portland by Geoff Brabham and the following Sunday at Cleveland by Al Unser Sr. Dr. Terry Trammell, an orthopedic specialist who repaired the break in Sullivan's right forearm last month, recommended that the driver sit out for a couple of weeks. He said the special brace designed to keep Sullivan's injured arm from twisting while driving protected him well on oval tracks but was less effective on road courses.

Louis. SPOKANE CHRONICLE WED JUNE 21 1989 C3 Bradley just happy to be with WI' By Blaine Newnham Seattle Times SEATTLE Scott Bradley came away from the batting cage in Minneapolis with two baseballs autographed by Kirby Puckett and a broad smile. "We've got a chance to make $100,000 this year," he said. "Wouldn't that be something?" This might go a long way to ruin your image of baseball players in general and one owner in particular, but Bradley and his big boss, George Argyros, are hosts for a golf tournament this week at nearby Redmond, for the benefit of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Argyros, through his own foundation, is donating $25,000 to underwrite the event; Bradley, the Seattle Mariners catcher, is giving his name, energy and collection of baseball bats, balls and gloves to make it go.

For an auction that follows the tournament, Bradley has two bats signed not only by teammate Ken Griffey but also by his father, Ken Sr. of the Cincinnati Reds. He has a set of baseballs signed by the past three American League rookies Steinbach proves good in pinch Associated Press Terry Steinbach put his off-day to good use on Tuesday. Oakland snapped a season-high four-game losing streak as Steinbach's pinch homer broke a sixth-inning tie and lifted the Athletics to a 6-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Oakland. "He's a tough out anyway, but Terry's got this knack for being especially tough as a pinch hitter," Oakland manager Tony La Russa said.

"You don't really have time to think about it," said Steinbach, "because you're sitting in the bullpen or the dugout, and the next thing you know, somebody says, 'Get up there and hit." Mark McGwire's three-run homer tied the game in the third as the A's ended their longest losing streak since July 5-7 of last season. McGwire led off the sixth with a double off reliever Brad Havens, 0-1, and Steinbach connected one out later for his fourth homer and the first by an A's pinch-hitter since last June 19. Gene Nelson, 2-2, the third of four Oakland pitchers, allowed one hit in three innings. Todd Burns pitched two perfect innings, striking out four, to earn his fourth save. "Brilliant," is how La Russa described his bullpen's performance.

"I've been asking some of our pitchers to come out on two days' rest and make a lot of pitches, and they've responded." White Sox 13, Yankees 6: Dan Pasqua and Harold Baines each hit three-run homers and had four RBIs and 40-year-old Jerry Reuss, 7-2, won his fifth straight decision as Chicago defeated New York with season highs in hits and runs. Twins 7, Indians 4: Jim Dwyer had his first four-hit game in six years and visiting Minnesota had 15 hits off four Cleveland pitchers. Associated Press Maybe Tim Raines does run too fast and hit too few home runs to bat cleanup. Either way, is there anyone else the Montreal Expos would rather have up in the clutch? Raines tied the game with a two-run single in the eighth inning and then won it in the ninth with another two-run single Tuesday night as the Expos stung the New York Mets 8-5 in N.Y. The Expos, trailing 5-0 after the first inning, rallied behind their main man and new No.

4 hitter, Both of Raines' hits came with two outs and two strikes against Rick Aguilera, who had allowed only one earned run in 39 innings. "I don't see myself as being a cleanup hitter. I feel like I'm a leadoff hitter batting fourth," Raines said. Expos manager Buck Rodgers moved Raines, one of the best leadoff men in baseball history, into the cleanup spot about three weeks ago. Rodgers did it because Raines, a switch hitter, breaks up the right-handed power contingent of Andres Galarraga, Hubie Brooks and Tim Wallach.

Cardinals 6-5, Phi 4-3: Philadelphia has added a lot of new faces, but the results were the same as visiting St. Louis swept the last-place Phil lies behind the hitting of Terry Pendleton and Ozzie Smith. In the opener, Pendleton's three-run double off newly-acquired Terry Mulholland keyed a five-run sixth inning and, in the nightcap, Smith had two RBIs and Pendleton one to send the Phi tiles to their 20th loss in 25 games. Cubs 5, Pirates 4: Shawon Dunston's two-out single in the 1 lth inning scored the go-ahead run as visiting Chica Gonzaga signs son of Dodgers catcher COMMENTARY of the year: Walt Weiss, Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco. "One of the things about being a ballplayer," Bradley said, "is that you have to give something back." Bradley is by no means your average baseball player.

He is a left-handed-batting catcher for one thing, but also a pinch-hitter of the most dependable kind, and very nearly another managercoach in the Mariners' clubhouse. Bradley talks warmly of the kids he's met at hospitals, those afflicted with a terrible killer, cystic fibrosis. "I've learned so much from these kids, how they handle life," he said. "It means a lot to me that all the money we make from the tournament goes directly to research and that cystic fibrosis might be the first disease since polio to be beaten." Bradley is carving a niche here: home owner, AMERICAN LEAGUE CHATTER mimmtimammommi The Seattle Mariners have sent rookie right-handed pitcher Erik Hanson to their Triple A Pacific Coast League farm club in Calgary on a 20-day injury rehabilitation program. The Kansas City Royals have recorlynended that left-hander Floyd Bannister undergo arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder.

The Royals team doctor, Dr. Steven Joyce, recommended the surgery. Bannister may seek another opinion. Center fielder Ellis Burks of the Boston Red Sox underwent arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to repair a torn cartilage in his left shoulder. "Everything went well, just as expected," Dr.

Arthur Pappas, the team physician, said after the operation at University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester. Red Sox 6, Rangers 3: Boston rallied with six runs in the eighth inning as Mike Greenwell hit a two-run double and Nick Esasky hit a two-run, go-ahead triple, leading the Red Sox past Texas in Boston. Royals 8, Brewers 2: Bo Jackson hit his 17th homer of the season in a six-run 1 1 th inning and Kansas City won at Milwaukee. Blue Jays 6, Angels 2: Tony Fernandez homered twice in the first two innings and Jimmy Key allowed four hits in seven innings, leading Toronto past California in Anaheim. Fernandez hit a two-run homer in the first and a solo homer in the second for the first two-homer game of his career.

He has five homers, matching his totals for each of the last two seasons. Speedster Raines douses Mets NATIONAL LEAGUE CHATTER 111 Darryl Strawberry of the New York Mets sustained a fractured toe when he was hit by a pitch Monday night, X-rays have revealed Tuesday. Strawberry's status was uncertain, but he was scratched from the starting lineup shortly before game time against Montreal. IN St. Louis shortstop Ozzie Smith and Strawberry are the leading vote-getters in balloting for the National League All-Star team.

According to figures released Tuesday, Smith leads with 494,034 votes, followed by Strawberry with 426,254. Cincinnati put pitcher Danny Jackson on the 15- day disabled list after medical tests showed he has a strained left shoulder. Jackson, who was 23-8 last season and finished second to Los Angeles Orel Hershiser in the Cy Young voting, is 5-9 with a 6.03 earned run average this season Steve Bedrosian made his first appearance for San Francisco a successful one.

"Coming to Seattle is the best thing that ever happened to me," said Bradley, 29, whom the Mariners got in a 1986 swap with the Chicago White Sox for outfielder Ivan Calderon. "It gave me a chance to establish myself as a major-league player.

There's not a lot of security in baseball, but I really feel comfortable here." Bradley is a role player. He is the backup catcher to Dave Valle, unless Valle is hurt, as is presently the case. He also provides a left-handed bat as a pinch-hitter and can and has played first, third and the outfield. A long time ago, he learned the value of versatility and dependability. And of knowing your place.

"I've spent too much time in the minor leagues to complain about how much time I play up here," he said. "When you've had 500 at-bats each year in the minor leagues, it is tough to get here and maybe not play for two weeks. But you have to have good work habits, be ready when the time comes, and then do what is Orioles rally after Seattle has 5-0 start Associated Press SEATTLE With his team behind 5-0, Mickey Weston didn't have time to think about getting his first major-league victory. "There's no way I could envision that I would get my first major league win tonight," Weston said Tuesday night after Baltimore rallied to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-6 for their fifth consecutive victory. "I'm kind of in a dream world right now," said Weston, 1-0, who was called up Saturday from Class AAA Rochester of the International League earned a save Sunday in his first game.

"When we took the lead in the fifth, that's when I started thinking I had a shot at the win." Weston struck out four and walked one after replacing starter Jeff Ballard. Seattle scored five runs in the first to knock out Ballard, who 'got only one batter out. Seattle manager Jim Lefebvre was impressed that Orioles manager Frank Robinson had the confidence to remove Ballard for a rookie. "He had his ace on the mound and he went out in the first inning and took him right out of there," Lefebvre said. "Robinson didn't fool around.

He went to Weston and the rookie shut us down." Gregg Olson followed Weston -anil pitched two innings for his ninth sive. "It was the bullpen story Robinson said. "Our relievers shut them down and allowed us to back into it. Right now, we have-the confidence to come back in games like this."

Mickey Tettleton singled in a run in the third to make it 5-1. In the fourth, Billy Ripken and Phil Bradley hit RBI singles and Mike Devereax, who drove in three runs. hit a sacrifice fly, chasing starter Randy Johnson and bringing on Reed. Craig Worthington's RBI grounder tied the game in the fifth, Ripken singled in the go-ahead run and Devereaux followed with a two-run single. Jeffrey Leonard's RBI single in the bottom of the inning scored Seattle's final run.

In the first, Leonard singled in Seattle's first run, Ken Griffey Jr. hit a two-run double and Omar Vizquel an RBI groundout. HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY Shane!
