PAGE The Clt-Leader. Monday. August Z9. 13 i----; Monday likes Sundays most "AH of a sudden, we've got it," said Dodger Manager Tom Lasorda of the team's resurgence. "The defense jelled.

The youngsters discovered where they belong." The Phillies, meanwhile, are in revere of the Dodgers. They've lost eight of their last nine. Braves 2. Pirates I In Pittsburgh, Pete Falcone and Terry Forster combined on a six-hitter and Bob Watson drilled a game-winning home run as Atlanta edged the NL East-leading Pirates. After the Braves took a 1-0 lead in the third against loser John Candelaria.

124, on Glenn Hubbard's RBI double. Watson made it 2-0 in the fourth with his sixth homer, just before a 36-minute rain delay. The Pirates got their only -run in the sixth when Dave Parker doubled and scored on Dale Berra's two-out single. That brought on Forster to replace Falcone, and he worked the final 3 1-3 innings for his 12th save. "Falcone has always been tough on us," said Pittsburgh Manager Chuck Tanner.

"Even when he was with the career grand slam as the Expos defeated San Diego. Rogers helped account for the first Expos' run in the third when he doubled and scored on a double by Tim Raines off Eric Show, 13-9. The Expos then put the game away with their big seventh inning highlighted by Oliver's blast, his sixth homer this season. Rogers, 16-8, fired his fifth shutout, a league high, and the 37th of his career. The Montreal right-hander walked one batter and struck out one in pitching his 12th complete game, second behind NL leader Mario Soto of Cincinnati.

"At one point two weeks ago. I' wondered whether I'd hit another, home run this season." said Oliver, whose last homer was on June 28. "Now, I'd just be happy to get to double figures." Reds 5, Cardinals 4 In Cincinnati. Gary Redus doubled home the winning run with two out in the 11th inning to lead the' Reds over St. Louis.

Redus hit the first pitch from reliever Bruce Sutter into the left-center field gap following a 52-minute rain delay. Redus had a 1-2 count on him before a downpour had halted play with Eddie Milner on second base via a bunt single and stolen base. Ben Hayes, 4-2, the fourth Cincinnati pitcher, got the victory with two scoreless inn Mets and he'd be 4-20 or something like that, he was tough on us." Expos San uiego In Montreal, Steve Rogers tossed a five-hitter for his NL-leading 16th victory and Al Oliver- capped a seven-run seventh inning with his sixth As a Sunday player. Rick Monday does pretty well for himself. The Los Angeles Dodgers little-used outfielder made one of his rare starts Sunday, and made the most of the opportunity 'with three singles and three RBI in an 8-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

"We beat Philadelphia, a talented club, and can't beat some other club we should," observed Monday, unable to explain the Dodgers' uncanny df mination of the Phillies this season. The victory in Philadelphia was the Dodgers' 11th in 12 games over the Phillies. If was also their 10th in the past 11 games and kept them a half-game behind Atlanta in the NL West. In other NL action, Atlanta edged Pittsburgh 2-1 in a battle of division leaders; Mon treal blanked San Diego 8-0; Cincinnati edged St. Louis 5-4 in 11 innings; San Francisco routed New York 7-2 and Houston stopped Chicago 4-2.

Mike Marshall also drove in three runs for the Dodgers, one with his 14th homer, to back left-hander Jerry Reuss, 9-10, who earned his third consecutive victory. Reuss scat" tered nine hits, struck out five and walked two. Monday singled home a run as Los Angeles took a 2-0 lead in the first inning and singled home two more in the second when the Dodgers made it 4-0 for their eventual winning run. CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) The IX Pan American Games, imprinted by flunked drug tests, ended in frustration for United States boxers and, thanks in part to long jumper Kathy McMillan and hurdler Roger Kingdom, triumphantly for the troubled track team. The boxers, who came here bragging of taking 11 golds and put seven men in Sunday's finals, had to settle for only two.

Louis Howard celebrated his 21st birthday by knocking out Cuba's Jose Aguilar to take the 147-pound title, and 132-pounder PerneU "Sweet Pea" Wmtaker, who scored his third straight victory over another Cuban, two-time Olympic champion Angel Her-rera. All the U.S. boxers took home medals two golds, five silvers and four bronzes. Moreover, none of Sunday's losers Paul Gonzalez, Jerry Page, Dennis Milton, Evander Holyfield and Henry Tillman lost by worse than a split decision and some losers emerged as potential threats for a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics. The United States ended the Games by breaking its own record for both golds and total medals set in San Juan in 1979.

u.s.b oners win two golds At GLASS FESTIVAL WINNERS Tim Hanlin and Jerry Bourff took top honors this weekend in the first annual Elwood Glass Festival Open Golf Tournament at the Elwood Country Club. Hanlin fired a 36-hole total of 145 (73-72) to win top gross honors and was awarded a set of Powerbilt Woods donated by Heiser Ford-Lincoln-Mercury and a $100 gift certificate. Bourff captured low net honors with a 124 (62-62) after chipping in a spectacular shot on the 17th hole during a sudden death playoff with Jed Dunnichay (124). Bourff was awarded a set of Powerbilt irons donated by the Republican Party and Phil Orbaugh, Republican candidate for mayor, and all major finishers received glass trophies prepared by Joe St. Clair.

(Call-Leader Photos) ings. Sutter, 8-9, didn't want to give Redus anything to hit on the first pitch, but his arm betrayed him. "I wanted to throw it down and away." Sutter said.

"I didn't get it there." iants 7. Mets 2 In New York, Darrell Evans drove in three runs, including two with his 27th homer of the season, to lead San Francisco ov er the Mets. Reliever Jim Barr, who worked his longest stint in 46 games this season with 4 2-3 innings, boosted his record to 4- 3. Barr, who relieved starter Andy McGaffigan in the second inning, gave up one run on two hits. Gary Lavelle pitched three scoreless innings of relief to earn his 16th save.

Craig Swan, 2-8, lasted 1 1-3 innings, giving up three runs on six hits. Astros 4, Cubs 2 In Houston, Terry Puhl hit a triple and two singles and Mike Scott won his eighth game in his last nine decisions as the Astros beat Chicago. Scott, 84, got off to a rough start, but managed to last 7 1-3 innings, giving up seven hits, striking out five and walking two. After Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the first, Puhl got the Astros back in the bottom of the inning. Puhl tripled home the tying run off loser Dickie Noles, 5- 8, and Dickie Thon's single gave the Astros a 2-1 lead they never relinquished.

in the 139-pound class and then came the most im- pressive U.S. boxer in his first three bouts. He floored Aguilar a minute into the fight and rocked him again and again until Puerto Rican referee Gennaro Fran- jul stopped the fight with' 39 seconds left in the first round. '1 hadn't seen enough of him to know him well," Howard said with a laugh about Aguilar, who had knocked out two previous opponents in the first round. "I wanted to box with him, to feel him out.

But the first time I hit him good he went down, so I went right after him." Milton of New York lost a close decision at 156 to Orestes Solano of Cuba, losing the judges 3-2 and winning the jury by the same vote. The 5-5 tie meant the judges' decision stood. Milton was most upset that Carmelo Andujar, the Puerto Rican referee, had warned Solano six times but never took away a point which might have given the New Yorker the fight. "I won it," he said "I don't know if it's politics or- what, but I won it." After Bernardo Comas of Cuba took the 165-pound title, in which no U.S. fighter was entered, with a second-round knockout of Puerto Rico's Alfredo Delgado, two more U.S.

fighters went down. Holyfield, the raw, 20-year-old Atlantan who only began boxing seriously a year and a half ago, more than held his own in the light-heavyweight contest against against world champion Pedro Romero, but finally gave way under the Cubans repeated blows and he wasn't helped when he rein-jured a troublesome elbow midway through the ights. "I couldn't Ihrow all of my punches." he said. "I could beat those other euvs with one nana- Dut not niminis guy took tWO hands." Then heavyweight Henry Tillman; of Los Angeles, dropped a 4-1 decision to Cuba's Aurelio Toyo and in the final bout, super-heavy weight Jorge Gonzalez of Cuba stopped Elvy Loaiza of Venezuela at 1 22 of the second round. McMillan, the 1976 Olympic silver medalist in the women's high jump from Raeford, N.C., was one of the stars of the American track's comeback Sunday.

The 25-year-old former Tennessee State University star set a Pan Am Games record of 21 feet, 11 inches, breaking the mark of 21-9 established by Cuba's Ana Alexander in 1975. Hon fin, flop winners dividual and team competi- tion. Rowe won the individual women's gold with Deborah Ochs of Howell, Mich, picking up the silver and Pace and Richard McKinney of Glen- dale, Ariz, got silver and gold in the men's. The U.S. actually took the first four places both men's and women's, but Pan Am rules don't allow a sweep and the fifth place finishers were awarded bronzes.

Despite the two victories, much of the attention centered on Gonzalez' loss. Gonzalez, extremely tall for his weight at 5-f oot-8, seemed to control his fight with Ramos from the outset, rocking the smaller Puerto Rican for a standing eight-count in the first round. The judges voted for him 3-2, hut a jury, consulted on 3-2 votes, went 4-1 for Ramos, giving him the fight. When the decision was announced, Gonzalez seemed incredulous, waving his hands in disgust as U.S. Coach Pat Nappi glared at the tables where the officials sit.

"I was robbed," Gonzalez said later and most at ringside agreed. "I thought we won the fight clear," Rollie Schwartz, the American who supervises officials said "I had it for Gonzalez 60-54" and U.S. manager Harvey Schiller added "Most of the coaches and the officials from the other countries told me they thought Gonzalez won 5-0." "I felt hurt," said Gonzalez. After Pedro Reyes of Cuba won at 112; Manuel Vilchez of Venezuela named the competition's most valuable boxer at 119 and Adolfo Horta of Cuba at 125, Whitaker and Herrera took to the ring. They had met three times previously Tvith Herrera winning the first and the 19-year-old naval aviation student at Norfolk (Va.)

The judges gave it to Whitaker, 5-0, and Whitaker the unofficial leader of the young team said he was fired up by the Gonzalez decision. "I told Paul I'd come out and get it for for everybody, for: the- 'whole team," he said. "But I wasn't really going for the knockout.

I wasn't afraid of going to a decision just because of Paul's bout. I just had to make sure there was no question." Page of Columbus, Ohio, dropped a 4-1 decision to Candelario Duvergel of Cuba Tim Hanlin and Jerry Bourff took top gross and net honors respectively this past weekend in the Elwood Glass Festival Open Golf Tournament at the Elwood Country Club. Hanlin fired a 36-hole total of 145 (73-72) for first place edging out Carl Hobbs at 146 73-73), Mike Mengelt at 148 73-75), Ed Alley at 150 76-74), Lou Gerig at 152 (77-75) and Jimmy Jack Howell at 152 77-75). As top gross winner Hanlin received a set of Powerbilt woods donated by Heiser Ford-Lincoln-Mercury and. a $100 gift certificate.

Other prizes to the top gross finishers included gift certificates of $125 for Hobbs, $100 for Mengelt, $75 for Alley and $50 split between Gerig and Howell. Bourff won low net honors after surviving a sudden death playoff with Jed Dunnichay when both players carded 124 with identifical rounds of 62-62 to tie. Dunnichay garnered the tie after sinking a 20-foot-plus putt on the 18th hole of the second round Sunday. Bourff then captured the playoff with a spectacular chip-in shot on the 17th hole. As low net winner Bourff received a set of Powerbilt irons from the Republican party and Phil Orbaugh, Republican candidate for mayor.

Dunnichay as the second place finisher received a $125 gift certifcate. Other net place winners and their gift certificate awards included $100 Jerry Smith at 125 66-59). $75 Don Dinsmore at 127 57-70), $50 Howard Huffman at 129 62-67), $45 Win Norman at 130 (66-64), $40 Bill Hocker at 131 (68-63), $35 Bruce Boston at 132 64-68), $30 Jerry Dunnichay at 133 (64-69) and $30 a tie with Jim Lawrence at 135 (65-70), Don Hughes' at 135 (67-68)andNedDtinnichayatl35(66-69).

It finished with 137 golds and 283 overall, compared to 126 gold and 268 medals in San Juan. For much of last week, (he focus of attention was off the field, on the drug tests that turned up traces of illegal substances in the urine of 16 athletes, one of them an American weightlifter Jeff Michels of Chicago. Fifteen 11 weightlifters, a cyclist, two track athletes and a fencer were disqualified. The U.S. track and field squad, decimated by injuries, no-shows and the departure of 11 athletes after they learned of the stringent drug testing here, had its best day of the Games Sunday.

It picked up six golds, getting first places from McMillan in the women's long jump and Kingdom in the 110-meter high hurdles and sweeping the ens' and women's 400-meter and relays. Still, the U.S. won only 14 gold medals in 40 events, its worst showing ever in track the previous low was 17 in 33 events in the' first Pan Am Games in 1951. It was also a big day for U.S. archers.

Montefusco nicknamed "The Count" allowed six hits, including solo home runs by Bobby Grich and Bob Boone in the fifth inning, while striking out five and walking one. He was relieved by George Frazier after developing blisters. Frazier went the final three innings for his fifth save.

The Yankees began the season loaded with left-handed starters and hoped that either Jay Howell or Doyle Alexander would become a good right-handed starter. Neither Howell nor Alexander was consistent and IfeeiCotsnie Friday Varsity Football Elwood at Western, Frankton at Northwestern, Alexandria at Tipton, Madison-Grant at Eastbrook I CUSTOM-FIT The New York Yankees, searching all season for a good right-handed starting pitcher, got impressive early returns on their latest deal to find the elusive hurler John Montefusco, acquired from San Diego last week to help during the pennant race, made his American League debut a successful one with six strong innings Sunday in leading the Yankees over the California Angels 7-3. "I wanted to make a good impression to show them they CUSTOM-MADE GOLF CLUBS Alexander was eventually traded tq Toronto. The Yankees later acquired right-ha nder Ma tt Keough from Oakland, a move that hasn't worked out. Prior to Sunday's game, New York's right-handed starters were 3-10 this season.

Montefusco, a National Leaguer for 10 seasons, was 9-4 with a 3.60 earned run average this year with San Diego. He says he noticed some immediate differences between the AL and NL. "The strike zone seems smaller here," he said. "My first two American League pitches, I thought, were strikes but both were called balls. But things worked out well after that." Said Yankees Manager Billy Martin: "I was very impressed.

He developed a blister problem in his last outing (Tuesday with San Diego) and I didn't want it to break." Another Yankee who praised the 33-year-old pitcher was Roy Smalley, whose three-run homer during a six-run sixth inning atoned for problems encountered before. On Saturtlay, Smalley made two errors in the bottom of the ninth inning, allowing the Angels to rally for three runs and a 7-6 victory. "I was really broken down over the errors," Smalley said. "But you have to forget yesterday and concentrate on today." Smalley 's homer, his 14th, came off reliever Bruce Kison after the Yankees rapped five consecutive singles to chase Ken Forsch, 11-9. "I was really impressed by him," Smalley said of Montefusco.
