5.851 seconds for quarter mile Shirley's sizzling 250.69 mph moves her into third

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Shirley Muldowney, a frequent winner at other tracks and one of drag racing’s top speed merchants of all time, is trying “to use a little strategy” in her bid to become the first woman to win the U.S. Nationals. Muldowney, nursing a bad cold, powered her pink racer to a top speed of 250.69 mph Friday and moved up to third place in qualifying for what may be the fastest field of top fuel dragsters in National Hot Rod Association history. “This car’s been over 250 five times,” said Muldowney, a 38-year-old drag racing veteran from Mt. Clemens, Mich. Only three other drivers here have

Expos snap Reds win streak at eight

MONTREAL (AP) - Rodney Scott, missing from the starting lineup because of a cold, slapped a run-scoring single in the 10th inning Friday night to lift Montreal to an 8-7 victory over Cincinnati. The victory snapped an eight-game winning streak by the Reds. “It’s a good come-from-be-hind win all the way,” said Expos Manager Dick Williams, whose second-place club remained three games behind the Pittsburgh Pirates in the East Division. “We didn’t quit. We battled back. That was a very big one for us. We gave them quite a few runs and still came back to win.” Larry Parrish, whose bat has been an inspiration to the team of late, led off the 10th against Cincinnati reliever Tom Hume, now 9-7, with a double. After appearing to score the winning run, Parrish was sent back to second and Jim Mason declared out because he had run outside the baseline on the way to first base on an infield grounder. It was left to Scott the season’s surprise who took Dave Cash’s second base job in spring training and has kept it throughout the year, before yielding his starting role this

Angels back on top in AL West battle

By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer Reports of the California Angels’ demise are greatly exaggerated. Not only aren’t the Angels dead, but they’re back in first place in the American League West after surrendering the top spot for one day to the Kansas City Royals. The Angels, who had dropped five games in a row, had to overcome a 4-0 deficit and then blew an 8-4 lead before edging the Cleveland Indians 9-8 on Brian Downing’s RBI single in the ninth inning. That vaulted them back atop the West Division by a halfgame over the Royals, who lost to the New York Yankees 7-3. Elsewhere, the Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1, the Chicago White Sox trimmed the Milwaukee Brewers 6-1, the Boston Red Sox out-

ATLANTA (AP) - Star first baseman Pete Rose, for one, was not willing to blame the Philadelphia Phillies’ troubles on Danny Ozark after Ozark was fired Friday as the club’s manager. “I don’t give a damn if Sparky Anderson, Miller Huggins, Danny Ozark or Billy Martin were managing this team. We’d still be struggling in fifth place the way we’ve played,” Rose said. The end for Ozark, who guided the Phillies to three consecutive East Division titles during his seven years at the helm, came as Philadelphia fell 12'/2 games off the pace of the Pittsburgh Pirates after dropping five straight and eight of nine games.

ever gone over 250 more often. “We’ve got to look at the weather, work with the tires maybe, work with the clutch to eliminate what we call ‘shake,’” said Muldowney, who estimated the slight wobbling down the Indianapolis Raceway Park quarter-mile strip added a tenth of a second to her elapsed time. As it was, her 5.851-second clocking moved her from sixth place to third, tied with Frank Bradley and one-thousandth of a second behind second-place Garth Widdison. Richard Tharp, the 1976 U.S. Nationals and world champion, remained the top qualifier with

week to deliver the key base hit. “I just got lucky, I guess,” said Scott, who pinch hit for winner Woody Fryman, 3-5. “I feel overwhelmed the way it happened. I think it was a fastball. It might have been a slider. “I’ve seen Hume in the minor leagues. He’s going to be around the plate. You just have to go up there and swing.” Fryman was the fifth Montreal pitcher, following Dan Schatzeder, Stan Bahnsen, Rudy May and Elias Sosa. Hume succeeded starter Fred Norman and Mario Soto for the Reds. Andre Dawson drove in four runs with a fielder’s choice, a two-run home run and a triple to account for half the Expos’ runs. Warren Cromartie hit his eighth homer of the season leading off the seventh inning against Soto. Cash had a run-scoring double and Gary Carter a sacrifice fly for the other Montreal runs. In the second game of a threegame series tonight, Tom Seaver, 13-5, pitches for the Reds against Montreal’s David Palmer, 6-2.

slugged the Texas Rangers 9-6, the Oakland A’s downed the Detroit Tigers 5-3 and the Toronto Blue Jays nipped the Seattle Mariners 5-4 in 11 innings. With two out in the Angels’ ninth, Don Baylor singled off Paul Reuschel, Sid Monge walked Willie Aikens and Downing delivered his third hit of the game to score Baylor. After falling behind 4-0, the Angels scored twice in the sixth inning, once in the seventh and then erupted for five in the eighth as Aikens and Bobby Grich slugged two-run homers and Jim Anderson added a solo shot. “We’re an explosive club,” said Manager Jim Fregosi. “When you’re four runs down in the sixth and come back, it shows you’re never out of a ballgame. The clutch performances tonight that’s what a pennant race is all about.”

Dallas Green, a former Phillies pitcher and currently director of minor leagues and scouting for the club, was named interim manager for the final month of the season. Paul Owens, the director of player personnel, made the announcement at a news conference just prior to the Phillies 6-2 victory Friday night over the Atlanta Braves. “There’s no way it was his fault,” said Rose of the 55-year-old Ozark, who was called a “players’ manager” by many of the Phillies. “The gentleman tried everything in his power,” said Rose. “He had been very successful during the past seven years, winning three titles which was something no other National

SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY his 5.810-second run on Thursday. “The elapsed time is the most important thing,” said Muldowney, whose best finish here was runnerup to five-time champion Don Garlits in 1975. “But the miles per hour shows you’ve got the horsepower. You might leave the start line slow and the elapsed time might not be good, but you could still win since each car is timed by a separate clock.” The fastest 32 qualifiers will begin the first round of head-to-

League manager had ever done. I have all the respect in the world for him. He tried to get us out of the rut but everything didn’t work out.” Owens said he and owner Ruly Carpenter decided to make the change "after two or three days of deliberation. We were disappointed in the way the club has performed the past few weeks and felt that something had to be done.” Green, 45, who had a 20-22 major league record with the Phillies, New York Mets and Washington Senators in the 19605, said “They asked me to do the job the rest of the year and I agreed to go down on the field and make every effort to get the athletes to believe in themselves and give the Phila-

head eliminations on Sunday, with the final 16 in top fuel and seven other automotive and two motorcycle categories meeting in the single-elimination finals on Monday. The total purse is $445,000. Through Friday’s round of qualifying, 23 drivers had recorded runs under six seconds. The NHRA record for a single event is 24, set in the 1975 world finals at Ontario, Calif., when Don Garlits established the current world mark for elapsed time of 5.63 seconds. The previous high for the U.S. Nationals was in 1976, when two-time champion Gary Beck set a track record of 5.79 and 12 others were under six seconds. “This car should go into the 5.70’5,” Muldowney said. “Who knows? We’re always good for surprises.” Muldowney’s run Friday morning tied the track speed record set by Tharp in 1977 and the NHRA national performance record set by Garlits at Ontario in 1975. Beck and Marvin Schwartz remained tied for fifth qualifying position Friday at 5.875 seconds. Garlits, who had been tied with Muldowney before Friday’s session, fell to seventh

delphia baseball fans the kid of effort they deserve.” Ozark said he did not know what his immediate plans would be but Owens indicated the Phillies would welcome him in the organization if he wished to remain. “I feel disappointed in the way the players performed for me this year. I think I could have gotten more out of them but I couldn’t find the answer. That’s probably why they made the move,” said Ozark, who ranked as senior manager in the league before his ouster. “It was a shock of course but I can’t fault the organization for the way we played. I hope for the best for the ball club. My interest will still be with the players,” he said.

although he improved his quick time by four-thousandths of a second to 5.878. Rounding out the top 10 qualifiers after Friday’s round were Bob Noice, 5.889; Dave Settles, 5.907, and Rob Bruins, runnerup to Garlits last year, 5.917. Dave Uyehara, the fastest qualifier last year at 5.84, was lodged in 30th place at 6.053, one spot behind 1977 winner Dennis Baca at 6.045. The slowest qualifier through Friday’s runs was a 6.064 by Walt Barbin, assuring the fastest 32-car field in U.S. Nationals history. The quickest cut-off time before this was 6.175 seconds two years ago. Don Prudhomme, who broke his own world record in funny

The only newcomers to the iop 10 funny car qualifiers on Friday were Ron Colson, whose 6.085 clocking moved him up to eighth, and Len Imbrogno, whose 6.106 time put him in 10th.
