Sunday the Pack meets the St. Louis Cardinals at St. Louis. British Troops Nab Terrorists In N. Ireland BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) British troops grabbed four terrorist suspects high on their wanted list and netted an arms cache in raids on Roman Catholic homes in Belfast early today.

Spokesmen said five other persons had been arrested during the weapons raids in the Ballymacarrett district, and there was virtually no opposition. Pouncing on selected houses, the soldiers uncovered eight rifles, three pistols, a sten-gun, a submachine gun, nearly 3,000 rounds of ammunition and more than 20 pounds of gelignite. The province was quiet following a bloody weekend in which three persons were killed and more than 30 explosions set off in terrorist attacks by the Irish Republican Army. The British army reckoned terrorists used more than 500 pounds of gelignite in their strikes. The upsurge in IRA attacks after a comparative lull in the past two weeks was seen as the response to British assertions that the troops had the terrorists on the run.
