Thursday, March 23, 1978 THE DECATUR DAILY REVIEW PAGE SEVENTEEN Busby shrugs off Venereal disease confirmed in some thoroughbred Kentucky race horses pounding by Cards were at Nelson Bunker Hunt's Blue-grass Farm. CEM is an infectious venereal disease similar to gonorrhea in humans. Once detected, it can be cured quickly and John Greathouse, president of the Thoroughbred Breeders, has expressed optimism that the breeding season, which began last month and normally runs through May in the Kentucky Blue-grass, can be salvaged.

fit ft LOCATION SAME OWNERS) Cvf OPEN SUNDAY AT 12:00 NOON 3925 Fairies Pkwy. By Maria Braden Lexington, Ky. (AP) The names of five thoroughbred stallions and 17 mares that have tested positive for the venereal disease Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) have been made public by the Thoroughbred Breeders of Kentucky. Cultures from mares and stallions believed to have the disease were analyzed at the University of Kentucky. State agriculture officials said last week that 66 mares and six stallions were suspected of having the disease, with 12 of the animals clinically confirmed as CEM cases.

When the disease was discovered earlier this month, the state imposed an embargo on breeding and transportation of thoroughbreds which is scheduled to be lifted next Tuesday. Monitoring for the disease will continue. CEM, which can cause mares to abort their foals, was first detected in Spendthrift Farm's Caro, the leading sire in France. He was brought into the country by Spendthrift President Brow-nell Combs II just hours before a federal embargo against importing horses. Caro was among those identified Wednesday as having the disease.

The other stallions which tested positive for CEM were at John R. Gaines' Gain-esway Farm. They were Lyphard, Youth, Big Spruce, and Appalachee. Another Spendthrift stallion, Wajima, 3-year-old champion for 1975 and syndicated for the then-record price of $7.2 million, was suspected along with Caro of carrying" the disease but showed a negative culture. The 17 thoughbred mares were at Spendthrift, Gainesway and 10 other Bluegrass farms.

Three were at Spendthrift, one at Gainesway and four roughs homered and Eddie Miller had two hits and stole a base. Rob Belloir and Dale Murphy also homered while Boggs and three relievers held the Rangers to three hits. Gene Tenace homered twice and Dave Winfield also connected, powering the San Diego Padres over the Chicago Cubs 4-1. The victory was the fourth straight for the Padres and second since Roger Craig replaced Alvin Dark as manager. Bobby Valentine's two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth gave the New York Mets a 2-1 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds.

Tom Seaver hurled six scoreless innings for the Reds, yielding two hits and striking out six. Chicago's Ken Kravec, who hadn't been scored on all spring, took a 4-0 lead into the fourth inning when the Philadelphia Phillies erupted for five runs and went on to defeat the White Sox 10-5. Baltimore and Los Angeles committed six errors apiece and the Orioles edged the Dodgers 9-8 with a four-run rally in the bottom of the 11th inning. The winning run scored when third baseman Lee Lacy made two errors on the same play. Jack Clark's two-run homer with two out in the top of the ninth gave the San Francisco Giants a 7-6 victory over the California Angels and the Seattle Mariners pounded out 23 hits and clobbered the Oakland A's 19-4.

Dave Goltz hurled eight strong innings as the Minnesota Twins downed the Houston Astros 5-1 and Butch Wyne-gar's tie-breaking two-run single in the seventh inning helped another squad of Twins edge the Montreal Expos 5-4.

Includes mixing blade, stainless steel cut By the Associated Press -There's a vast difference between pitching and throwing but Steve Busby is so happy to be throwing he won't mind if it takes a little longer for him to start pitching. Oh, Busby has taken the mound during a couple of Kansas City's exhibition games this spring, which was more than he did all last season, when he underwent a serious shoulder operation.

And he was encouraged Wednesday even though the St. Louis Cardinals rocked him for nine hits and three runs in the first four innings of an 8-0 exhibition victory over the Royals. Another comeback pitcher, Detroit's Mark Fidrych, had better results than Busby. The Bird gave up just three singles in six innings as the Tigers trounced the Toronto Blue Jays, lifting his spring record to 4-0. Fidrych, who gave up just one single in four scoreless innings against Pittsburgh his previous outing, lowered his arned run average to 0.60.
