IIJ 2F DETROIT FREE PRESSMONDAY, SEPT. 8, 1980 Too Tall all 270 pounds glad he's back on line Just one vear a go. Ed fTon Tain Jnnee woe i1 Judy Hoso pick Mark Malone. If Stoudt can manage to stay out of the Steelers' first four games this season, he will qualify for an NFL pension without ever playing in a game. Lambroi Millar, Detroit Today's Question: Since the days of Home Run Baker, only one player other than Babe Ruth has led the American League in homers for as many as three years in a row.

Name the player and the years. Harry Radtke, East Detroit Which player hat been on two Super Bowl championship teams but hat never played In a regular-season game going Into this season? Cliff Stoudt, a backup quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers who was elevated from third string spending mornings working out in a New York City boxing gym and afternoons running eight miles through Central Park. Someone asked him if he would go back to football if he failed as a boxer. "No," Jones said, "I'll never play again. I don't miss it." But Monday night when Dallas Cowboys take on the Washington Redskins on Monday night television (9 p.m.

Phone ealla not accepted. to the No. 2 spot when the Steelers got rid of former backup Mike Kruczek this year and kept top draft down pass, in an end-of-the-game, goal-line stand. "He looks better than he did before he left," says Dallas coach Tom Landry. "I got up for all my fights," says Jones, "and I get up for every football game.

I will be up Monday night, no question." Too true, Too Tall. DANNY WHITE (speaking of the Cowboys) knows he'll be playing against the ghost of Roger Staubach when he debuts as Dallas quarterback against Washington the big question mark with the team, whether I can replace Roger adequately," said White. It sure is. In the final preseason game, White folded under the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, completing just 10 of 29 passes with three interceptions. But Redskins coach Jack Pardee says White may be a threat if he stays on the ground.

"Right now, he is more mobile than Staubach, who would slide in his last year or two. White will try to get more yardage when he runs than Roger did. We've got to fnake sure we keep him contained." WILLIS REED says the big surge of interest in college basketball is going to help the slumping NBA. "I think it started to swing this past year. People who watched Magic (Johnson) and the Bird (Larry Bird) in college are now pro fans," he said.

Reed, the former New York Knickerbockers star, was in Morgantown, W.Va., to officiate in an exhibition game. 4 for tho locoidKite wins European Open says, cuddled in his daddy's arms, listening to blow-by-blow on the radio. But he didn't have time for boxing because he played basketball in high school, football In college and came out so strong he was the first man to go in the 1974 college player draft. He made the Cowboys' starting lineup immediately, carrying that nickname sportswriters loved to play with in lines like "Too Tall is Too Much." When his five-year Cowboy contract was up, Too Tall surprised the team by leaving for New York to learn boxing under Murphy Griffith, the uncle of Emile Griffith. "I don't want to wait till I'm 45, then say I wish I'd tried It," he said then.

Jones was dead serious, but critics hooted. His 10-month, six-fight career (all victories) was undistinguished. So Too Tall is back now boy, is he back. According to Cowboys official Greg Alello, "He has just got a talent this year for making the big plays." In a pre-season game with Green Bay, he blocked a Packer field goal, then recovered a fumble to set up the winning touchdown. Against Los Angeles he trapped Rams' quarterback Pat Haden twice and batted down his fourth- end, an 6-foot-9, 270 pounds glowering across the scrimmage line at Redskin tackle George Starke.

And watch out, Redskins, he is ready. "Yeah, I am quicker," Jones said during a Cowboy practice. "My legs are a lot stronger from all that road work. I feel very good at this point." He is back mentally, too. "Football is all I'm thinking about now," he says.

"Years ago boxing was always on my mind, AUTO RACING: Bobby Allison, who led five times for more than half the distance, cruised to victory in the Capital City 400 Grand National stock car race in Richmond, Va. BASEBALL: The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled Infielder-outfielder Willie Upshaw from the Syracuse Chiefs of the International League. CYCLING: Japan's Kolchl Nakano won his fourth successive professional sprint title on the final day of the World Track Championships in Bescanon, France. GOLF: Tom Kite fired a final-round 75 to win the $40,000 first prize and pace a 1-2-3 American finish in the European Open championships. Tied for second were Lon Hlnkle and Leonard Thompson Veteran Sandra Spu-ilch, winless since 1977, shot a three-under-par 33 on the front nine and finished with a 69 to score her fifth LPGA triumph at a Plymouth, tournament.

MARATHON: Dick Quax of New Zealand edged Bob Hodge of Boston to win the Nike-Oregon Track Club Marathon in Eugene, Ore. Bernard Voyer of Quebec City, Quebec, won an international marathon in Montreal. Too Tall Jones even when I was playing football." He'd learned toalove boxing as a little boy, he Smalley homer squelches Bird shutout bid Sox reaffirm sale CHICAGO (UPI) The Chicago White Sox Board of Directors, satisfied by a personal appeal from Edward DeBartolo Sunday night reaffirmed the sale of the American League team to the Ohio businessman for $20 million. DeBartolo, who won the approval of the board two weeks ago, made an appearance before the board and pledged to keep the team in Chicago. He also predicted his "minor differences" with Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn would be resolved.

Published reports indicated Kuhn had told DeBartolo he would not receive the necessary nine of 1 4 votes from American League owners to approve the sale. TIGERS, from Page 1F "I thought from the second to the seventh he pitched great. In the eighth he got some pitches up I don't think any more it's even a test with him. It's just a matter now that he starts throwing everything down there around the knees again, and that's something he's going to have to work out." Fidrych's performance convinced Anderson that the 26-year-old righthander belongs in the regular rotation regardless of the opposition. Earlier, he had suggested he might hold The Bird out when the Tigers face pennant contenders New York and Baltimore.

"He can pitch against anyone now," said the manager. "He'll be in there on his regular turn." Fidrych's next start will be in Cleveland on Friday. THE BIRD WAS disgusted with himself for not stopping two hard-hit balls that were drilled past the When Smalley fielded Tom Brookens' groundball, it looked like Peters was going to be cut down at the plate, But Smalley's throw bounded past catcher Butch Wyne-gar and the Tigers had the lead. But they managed to move only one other runner as far as second base and Jackson rang up his fifth win in six career decisions with Detroit. "I didn't have a really good fastball today," said the 24-year-old southpaw, "but I kept it down and made them hit it in the dirt." Only five of the Twins' putouts were on flyballs or pop-ups, and two of those were in foul territory.

Corbett, Minnesota's bargain-basement bullpen king, took over after his club had taken the lead, and he breezed through six straight Tigers to notch his 17th save and second in as many days. TAGGING THE TIGERS The Tigers now have a 12-man pitching staff as righthander Roger Weaver has been reactivated after a 21-day stay on the disabled list. Weaver was plagued by a sore arm for several weeks before his last appearance, a brief and unsuccessful starting assignment on Aug. 10 at Texas Lance Parrish was back in the lineup Sunday after a one-day layoff with a badly bruised hand. Steve Kemp, whose right wrist has been sore for several weeks, was given a rest Anderson says he believes injured first baseman Richie Hebner might be ready for pinch-hitting duty in the upcoming series against Baltimore.

Hebner still cannot run, though, because of strained ligaments in his right foot. Hebner is still the Tigers' RBI leader, even though he has played just 96 games (of 135) and has missed the last 16 contests in a row The Tigers' loss to the Twins concluded their play against West Division clubs for this season. They wound up 6-6 against Minnesota and 45-39 against the West The 20,009 paid admissions Sunday raised the Tigers' home attendance to 1,602,748 for the year, about 28,000 short of the total for all of last season. There are still 12 home dates left, and 1.8 million seems a virtual certainty Edward DeBartolo 4-PLY POLYESTER WHITEWALLS A78-13 Any Slit sua K78-14 sizes P19575R14 (reDlaces ER7R.14 Any Size P20570R14 frenlar.ns raoorm (replaces f-R78-14) P20575R15 (replaces FR78-15) tubeless Dual Steel III Radial Whitewalls L78-15 mound in the eighth. I got my glove on both of them," he said.

"The second one, I told myself that No. 44 (Ken Landreaux) hits the ball up the middle and I told myself to be ready, and then he hits the ball up the middle and I didn't get it. I was ticked off at myself." The Twins' winning rally began with a Hosken Powell single that glanced off Fidrych's glove and into centerfield. Powell was bunted to second by Rob Wii-fong. Then it was Landreaux's turn to bang one past Fidrych, tying the game at 1-1.

The Tiger righthander, who seems to have recovered from the shoulder problems that plagued him from 1977 until this spring, made several pickoff throws to first but Landreaux beat them all. He fell behind Smalley with a couple of high, outside pitches and then came in with a fastball up in the power groove. "I saw Smalley's eyes light up when he hit it," said Fidrych. "The minute he hit it, I said, 'Aw, He was waiting for that one." SMALLEY'S shot would have carried about 375 feet if the facing of the press deck high above the rightfield fence hadn't intercepted it. Anderson immediately hooked The Bird in favor of Pat Underwood, but the Twins had done all the damage necessary.

"I think Fidrych just got tired," Smalley said. "He made some pretty good pitches on me earlier in the game. He had much better control than the last time we faced him." The Bird, who threw 107 pitches (63 for strikes), denied that he was tired in the eighth. "That was my game right there," he said with a gesture of disgust. "I just couldn't close it out.

I've been sitting here second-guessing myself, trying to figure out why. That's what you do, you second-guess yourself when things don't go the right way." The last time Fidrych pitched, the Tigers got him 1 1 runs and made his first big-league victory since 1978 an easy one. He wasn't that lucky Sunday, and he slipped to 1-3. i THE ONLY DETROIT run came in the opening inning when rookie Rick Peters, a former college roommate of Jackson at Arizona State, led off with a double into the leftfield corner. Peters, who extended V'kCrt.
