shortstop job when Nellie Norman wassent back to the minors Frias was benched in favor of Ilarrelson several games ago and will probably be staying there for a while Incredibly the Rangers made a valiant comeback effort in the ninth only to see it fall short because of some more of that wonderful baserunning they're becoming known for Al Oliver pulled Texas within three with an RBI double down the right field line After Danny Walton and Putnam were walked Sundberg drove in two more runs with a single to left Meanwhile Billy Sample was sent in to pinch-run for Putnam With Norris at the plate Chris Knapp the Angels' fifth pitcher of the night threw a ball in the dirt that got away from catcher Stan Cliburn Indecisive Sample went about halfway to third and then stopped He started to go back to second then but by that time Sundberg was charging full speed from first Sample was ultimately caught in a rundown and tagged out to end the threat and the game NOW ONLY INGLEWOOD Calif LAN Injuries have sidelined two of California's top thoroughbreds Flying Paster and Ilklin Klugman and it isn't known how long either horse will be out of action Flying Paster 1979 California Horse of the Year suffered a slight fracture in the ankle joint of the cannon bone and is not expected to race again until next winter trainer Gordon Campbell said Wednesday at Hollywood Park "It's a four-month healing process so he won't see any more action this year" Campbell explained Texan ousted in golf meet PINEHURST NC (API Ceil Mac Laurin of Savannah Ga ousted former champion Alice Dye of Delray Beach Fla from the Women's North and South amateur golf tournament Wednesday Arizona State golfer Tia Nilsson eliminated the tournament's medalist Mary Ann Morrison of Ilouston 2-and-1 in Wednesday's play "I started and I stopped" explained just wasn't sure if third base was a sure thing And in a situation like thatyou've got to be sure I guessSunny saw me start to go to third and broke for second By the time I turned back it was 100 late" Shortstop Pepe Frias who forgot that one and one makes two and not three sat in front of his locker in a catatonic trance Kern who stayed around just long L-enough to face five batters walking three of them -also didn't want to talk about the weather "He's just trying too hard" Ranger pitching coach Brown said of Kern last year's top American League fireman who was nailed with his sixth loss of lhe season Kern took over for starter Jon Matlack in the sevnth and was given the job of protecting a 3-2 lead he promptly walked the Angels Carney Lansford -and Rod Carew in succession to force in thetying run Kern was replaced by Lyle in the eighth after walking Joe Ruth but this 1A asn't his night either as he was soon tagged by Jason Thompson for a three-run double that gave California a 6-3 lead at that point The run that Kern was charged with moves his infla I mg earned-run average over the 400 mark a far cry from the 157 figure he had a year ago to go with his 29 saves and 13 wins "Earlier he had the elbow problem" said Brown That bothered him for a while Now 1 think he just feels like he has to make up for it all in one night and he's starting to press "It's starting to become a confidence thing with urn now A couple had games like he's had and it 'tarts to play with his mind" The Rangers' problems Wednesday started in the 7-sixth with the blown squeeze play After Jim and Jim Norris had ripped RBI singles off Calif ornia starter Fred Martinez to give Texas a 3-1 lead -Bud Harrelson was supposed to try a bases-loaded squeeze bunt on a 3-2 pitch Instead he took what he thought was ball four Milne plate umpire Russ Goetz called it a strike though and Pat Putnam who was charging home from third was a sitting duck "It was too high to bunt" said Harrelson "Maybe to Chamberlain that was a strike but not to me 1 or to keep the bat at the top of the strike zone when I'm bunting And if the halls above it1 don't touch it 7dk that pitch was above it "Ile (Goetz) knew it too Later he told Matlack that he lost the ball and that it might've been high But it was too late then The damage had already been done" Not all of the damage though FriiIS pulled the game's biggest blunder in the eighth when he guessed wrong on the out count and allow ed what turned out to be the winning rua to come charging across the plate After Thompson acquired by the Angels from Detroit just the day before had put California up 6-3 Dickie Thon lined a single to right and tried to stretch it into tw But Frias put the tag on him for what he thought was the third out and rolled the ball toward the mound Unfortunately for the Rangers there The Angels struck first in the third when Then Lansford and Carew got to Matlack for successive singles Matlack whohad been battling the flu earlier in the week went 64'3 innings giving up nine hits and three runs He left in the sevent after Thon'sone-out single put Angels on the corners Kern couldn't work his 1979 magic though Bear to coach No one especially Kern knows what his problem has been the last several weeks He had a tender elbow early in the season but that is supposedly a thing of the past "When 1 get into a rut" said Matlack who failed in his bid to pick up his fourth win of the year "everything is magnified much more and you tend to overlook the simple thing that you're doing wrong I don't know if that's Kernie's problem or not He'll come out of it though He's too good a pitcher" Kern's problem at the moment is severe control problems He admitted the other day that he has no idea where his ball has been going lately and he certainly proved that Wednesday His three walks upped his season total to 21 Quite high when you consider the reliever with the2-iron body has pitched just 23 innings SAN FRANCISCO LAN Alabama's Paul "Bear" Bryant whose 295-77-16 record over 35 seasons is one of the best in football history will be one of the head
