Richard Salem, Detroit What do you do when inflation is tugging at your pocketbook and you make over $750,000 for working eight months a year? Cincinnati Reds outfielder George Foster bought a 1979 Mercedes.

He did it, he says, "to save money." "Sure, I paid a lot more money for it as an original investment," Foster admitted. "But it is virtually maintenance-free and will save me money in the long run. I plan to keep it. The car is well built, made to last a lifetime." Isido Kin9s on 29, 1979' bets I aiier Dimmer nau suuieu a goal in a record 13 straight games.

He kept going on a diet of heavily syruped peaches, Gatorade, date-and-nut bars, bananas and a drink containing large quantities of caffeine. LEO RANDOLPH announced Sunday he was retiring from boxing because he had lost the desire that propelled him to an Olympic gold medal in 1 976 and the WBA junior featherweight earlier this year. Randolph absorbed terrible punishment Saturday when he lost his WBA title in the 122-pound weight class to Sergio Palma of Argentina.

Palma sent Randolph to t.he canvas twice in the first round and ultimately won on a knockout in the fifth round. "I'm looking into my future," said Randolph. "If it could happen once, it could happen again. That really is not a good feeling to be hurt like that." Randolph, 22, said he would return to his hometown of Tacoma, to "settle down down with my family and have a normal life." He finishes his boxing career with a professional record of 17-2 and an amateur mark of 160-7. DAVE WINFIELD called his fight with Houston Astros' pitcher Nolan Ryan "a reaction." The San Diego Padres star was ejected from the game after taking several swings at Ryan in a bench-clearing brawl in the Astros 9-5 victory over the Padres Saturday night.

"I thought there were too many pitches too close," he said. "It's not that a pitcher is trying to hit you, or a situation of establishing ground. You never know for sure, it's just a reaction." Ryan, who left the game after six innings in favor of winner Dave Smith, had no apologies. "I don't feel I should have to defend those pitches." it In, Despite his salary, said to be the highest on the Reds' team, Foster keeps an eye on the cash flow, just like a normal citizen. "Nobody knows how high and how long this inflation thing will go," he said.

It is important to live conservatively while you are making it so you have something for your future. "That means living a lifestyle similar to the average middle-class person." Foster, 31, says he and "The more you make, the less you see," he explained. "Taxes eat up a lot of it. You have to invest it to counteract taxes, so you don't really see it or have it to spend." NANCY LIEBERMAN, the No. 1 choice in the last women's professional basketball draft, says she is "very close" to agreeing on terms with the Dallas Diamonds.

Lieberman participated in a Diamonds' open tryout camp Saturday in Dallas and said she is anxious to moving to Texas. "Dallas is a great sports town, and we have the ball rolling here," said the All-America player from Old Dominion College. "We're going to sign this year's No. 1 pick (herself), and we've got some other picks that are very good. We have Alfredda Abernathy, probably the best center in the league.

We're going to have a good team," she said. CARL PIPOLY, a Denver lawyer, Saturday became the 215th person to officially swim across the English Channel at the 21-mile-wide Strait of Dover. Pipoly is the first swimmer to cross the Channel since Indiana University swimming coach Doc Counsilman did it in 1979. Pipoly made the crossing in 1 5 hours, 1 1 minutes, he said. The record is seven hours, 40 minutes, but Pipoly seemed satisfied with his performance.

George Foster his wife nixed the idea of buying a home in California, even though they had roots in the state, because of "unstable economic conditions."

But, as you'll be delighted to discover, they make it unnecessary to give up anything else. Do you still think a car that's big on the inside has to be big on the outside? Would you swear that a car can't possibly hold as much cargo as a station wagon? Are you convinced that any car with top grades in performance is doomed to flunk gas U.S. grand jury to probe race? RACING, from PageiF keep track of everything," Higginbottom said.

"The last time (the recent federal court probe of suspected fixed trif ecta races at Hazel Park and the DRC in 1973) it was hard finding the background information on the races so now they want to make sure this stuff doesn't get buried or lost." ATTEMPTING TO affect the outcome of a horse race is a federal offense, and Higginbottom said government investigators have shown an interest in the July 1 race. In the race, won by a 4-1 shot with a 13-1 shot second, some of the horses didn't perform up to their usual standards. A ridiculously low perfecta payoff of $59.10, about one-third of what it should have been, touched off a loud demonstration by the spectators. Jockeys John Rupert and Jeff Anderson received six-month suspensions for their riding performances termed 'flagrantly unsatisfactory by the DRC stewards. It was learned that substantial wagers on the winning perfecta combination of 4-3 were made just minutes before post time, IN THE DAYS that followed the race, reports of heavy out-of-town betting action on the winner, Cotton Up, began circulating.

Local bookmakers reportedly refused to take any action on the race hours before it was scheduled to go off. Outgoing state racing commissioner Fedele Fauri welcomed the federal interest in the DRC race. Fauri has long felt that past state investigations into suspected rigged races have been hampered by a suffo-cating state administrative procedures act.
