He's only a baby

By JOHN NELSON AP Sports Writer Rookie catcher Terry Kennedy was getting ready to retire his mitt after only two games with the St. Louis Cardinals. But then, with two out in the eighth inning, Montreal’s Duffy Dyer lined a 1-2 pitch over first baseman Keith Hernandez’s head, and Cards right-hander Silvio Martinez had lost his nohitter. Martinez wound up with the third one-hitter of his two-year major league career, the Cardinals had a big 5-0 win over the Expos and Kennedy will hold onto the glove for a while. “I was saying, ‘Gosh, I just

I thought we had it after the seventh.” Martinez, 6-2, came into Wednesday night’s game with a 2.38 earned run average and one complete game, a sevenhit, 4-2 victory over the New York Mets on June 22. In his first year in the majors, the 23-year-old native of the Domincan Republic pitched one-hitters against the New York Mets, three days after joining the Cards, and Pittsburgh.

(AP) - Mark Herrmann, who will be a junior this fall, is expected to challenge all the Purdue passing records before he graduates. The 6-5 quarterback already ranks fourth in Big Ten career passing yardage and still has two seasons left. Herrmann is another in a long line of crack quarterbacks at Purdue. There are three currently playing in the National Football League, Bob Griese of the Miami Dolphins, Gary Danielson of the Detroit Lions and Mike Phipps of the Chicago Bears. Another former Boilermaker is the now retired Len Dawson, who led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the 1970 Super Bowl game.

In other National League games, Chicago whipped Philadelphia 11-4, the Mets rallied to beat Pittsburgh 12-9, Cincinnati clobbered Los Angeles 9-1, San Francisco beat Houston 6-3, and Atlanta and San Diego split a pair. The Padres won the opener 2-1, and the Braves took the nightcap 5-2. Dane lorg drove in a run in the first, and Brock drove in two more with a single in the Cards three-run second inning. Steve Rogers, 7-5, who last Saturday came within 11-3 innings of a nohitter against Philadelphia, was the victim.

Indians felt better when Palmer was on sidelines

By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer As if things weren’t bad enough for the rest of the American League East, Jim Palmer is alive and well in Baltimore once again. “It looks like the master’s back. Jim Palmer is a master and he pitched a masterpiece,” Baltimore Manager Earl Weaver crowed after his ace righthander, recently sidelined for 20 days with tendinitis in his pitching arm, baffled Cleveland with a four-hitter to give the Orioles a 3-1 victory. Red Sox 3, Tigers 1 Boston outwaited Pat Underwood, who hurled 71-3 innings of three-hit, eight-strikeout ball, and a 43-minute rain delay in the pivotal ninth inning to beat the Tigers. Champ Summers’ homer for Detroit in the seventh inning and Rick Burleson’s sacrifice fly in the eighth sent the teams into the ninth tied 1-1. Royals 10, A’s 3 Pete LaCock and A 1 Cowens each drove in three runs apiece as the Royals battered Oakland for their fifth straight victory. Fred Patek had a two-run single It's Bowa, Concepcion and n0w...? NEW YORK (AP) - Larry Bowa of Philadelphia moved back in front of Cincinnati’s Dave Concepcion in their race to be the National League starter at shortstop in the 50th AllStar Game to be held July 17 in Seattle. Besides Bowa, other tentative starters for the NL with the balloting deadline just a week away include Philadelphia’s Pete Rose, first base; Dave Lopes of Los Angeles, second base; the Phillies’ Mike Schmidt, third base; Ted Simmons of St. Louis, catcher, and outfielders Dave Parker of Pittsburgh, Greg Luzinski of Philadelphia and Dave Winfield of San Diego. Winfield is in an extremely tight battle with George Foster of Cincinnati for the third starting outfield spot while Simmons moved ahead of Cincinnati’s Johnny Bench as catcher. Either Bowa or Concepcion has started at shortstop for the National League since 1974. Concepcion, who was N 0.2 behind Bowa in the balloting two weeks ago and was the leader last week by a slim 2,279 votes, once again trails. The latest count shows Bowa with 904,495 votes to 894,261 for Concepcion. In the outfield, Parker, N 0.3 a week ago, has jumped into the lead with 1,095,582 votes, trailed by Luzinski (948,878), also N 0.2 a week ago, and Winfield (862,911). The San Diego star is just 688 votes ahead of Foster (862,223), Chicago’s Dave Kingman, the major league home run leader, and Philadelphia’s Garry Maddox are fifth and sixth, respectively. Lopes is bidding for his first starting role. He holds a 333,-044-vote lead over Cincinnati’s Joe Morgan.

Cubs 11, Phils 4 Dave Kingman, Jerry Martin and pitcher Mike Krukow each slugged homers for Chicago in what deteriorated into a beanball contest between Krukow and Philadelphia pitcher Kevin Saucier, both of whom were ejected. Saucier started the exchange by bouncing a pitch off Steve Ontiveros after relieving in the fifth inning. In the top of the seventh, Krukow hit Garry Maddox with a pitch. Krukow then led off the bottom of the seventh at the plate, and Saucier hit Krukow in the left shoulder with his first pitch. After reaching first, Krukow hollered at Saucier, and Saucier charged toward him. Both ben-

in a four-run fourth inning and Cowens doubled for two runs in a four-run seventh. 1 Most of the Royals shrugged off Kansas City’s charge into a share of first place. “What’s to get excited about?” said Darrell Porter. “It’s June, not September. We’ve been there before and there’s a long way to go.” And Manager Whitey Herzog added: “It’s too early to worry about first place.”

ches emptied, and after things settled down the pitchers were ejected. Mets 12, Pirates 9 Willie Montanez and Steve Henderson hit consecutive home runs as New York rallied for five runs in the ninth inning in a game enlivened by five lead changes in the last three innings. An unearned run in the seventh gave the Mets a 4-3 lead, but Ed Ott sent the Pirates back ahead with a two-run homer in the bottom of the inning. The Mets came back with three runs in the top of the eighth as Pittsburgh committed two more errors, but Tim Fob’s two-run double keyed a four run

Rangers 4, Angels 2 Oscar Gamble drove in three Ranger runs, two of them with a third-inning homer, while Steve Comer and Jim Kern teamed for a four-hitter to saddle California with its fifth loss in six games. Brewers 9, Twins 8 Ben Oglivie’s 13th and 14th homers of the year, both with the bases empty, and Gorman Thomas’ 18th, a two-run shot, helped Milwaukee beat the Twins. Charlie Moore added three runs batted in for the Brewers, who chalked up their eighth victory in 10 games. Mike Caldwell was staked to a 9-0 lead but needed relief help. Minnesota got three runs in the sixth inning, two on Willie Norwood’s single, three more in the seventh, two on Roy Roy Smalley’s double, and two in the ninth on Glenn Adams’ homer.

Reds 9, Dodgers 1 Rick Auerbach and Johnny Bench each had three RBI, and Reds right-hander Fred Norman, 4-7, threw a six-hitter to beat the Dodgers. Joe Morgan ignited the Reds’

Padres 2-2, Braves 1-5 San Diego rallied for two runs in the ninth inning of the opener, winning the game when Braves starter Phil Niekro walked Kurt Bevacqua with the bases loaded. Niekro, 9-10, had a three-hit shutout going into the ninth, but three consecutive singles, the third by Fernando Gonzalez, produced the Padres’ first run. In the nightcap, Glenn Hubbard drove in three runs with a pair of doubles to give the Braves a split. Hubbard’s second double drove in two runs.
