Indiana to allow dove hunting

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The right to shoot mourning doves has been granted by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, ending an emotional, 20-year debate over protecting the migratory bird. Acting upon a request from the General Assembly to establish a dove hunting season, the department announced Thursday that people with small game hunting licenses may shoot the long-tailed bird between Sept. 1 and Oct. 30. Indiana joins 35 other states that permit the killing of doves, whose reputation as a symbol of peace and love has in the past brought an impassioned public outcry against establishing a dove hunting season.

THE SARGE WINS PANAMA CITY (AP) - Orville Moody, the newest member of the Senior PGA Tour, got an immediate dividend. Moody, who recently turned 50, the age when you become a senior golfer, won the $125,000 Viceroy Senior Panama Open here earlier this year. It was the first victory of any kind for the “Old Sarge” since the 1977 International Caribbean ODen.

Although the law has long authorized the Department of Natural Resources to establish such a season, department officials chose not to do so until they received the explicit recommendation from the 1984 Legislature. Edward L. Hansen, director of the division of fish and wildlife for the department, called the mourning dove the “most hunted game bird in North America” and the new hunting season “a wise use of a natural resource.” Hansen said the doves number nearly 500 million in the United States. The sleek birds have a very high reproduction rate, which replenishes a species that loses more than half its population each year.

Reds 'ain't' nowhere

By JOHN NELSON AP Sports Writer Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres has taken to heart the words, if not the bent grammar, of Hall of Famer Wee Willie Keeler, who said: “Hit ’em where they ain’t.” Gwynn went 3-for-4 Thursday night and now has seven hits in his last nine atbats as the Padres defeated the Cincinnati Reds 8-2. The three hits raised his National League-leading average to .362. “It’s something that just comes naturally for me,” says Gwynn, who has been likened to Rod Carew by Padres Manager Dick Williams. “I’m just trying to hit where they’re not playing.” Gwynn had one-fourth of San Diego’s 12 hits against the Reds before leaving the game for a pinch runner after doubling in San Diego’s three-run sixth inning. Gwynn scored omce and had an RBI. In the rest of the National League, Montreal edged Pittsburgh 5-4, San Francisco defeated Houston 3-2 and Atlanta beat Los Angeles 5-1. Mark Thurmond, 8-5, won his third straight start for the Padres, who lead Atlanta by seven games in the NL West. Thurmond worked seven innings, giving up two runs on seven hits. Steve Garvey drove in a pair of runs with

Rest good for Clemens and Red Sox

BOSTON (AP) Manager Ralph Houk of the Boston Red Sox had a decision to make. With a couple of open dates, one of his five starting pitchers would have to miss a turn. Houk decided rookie right-hander Roger Clemens, whacked around in less than three innings in Seattle on July 14, was a logical choice. Barring injury or an unforseen emergency, it may be the last time Clemens is bypassed for a long, long time. Clemens, who pitched Texas to the College World Series championship 13 months ago, returned to a starting role with fierce determination Thursday night. He responded with a four-hit, 11strikeout effort for his first major league shutout as the surging Red Sox charged to their sixth consecutive victory in a 7-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. “This is definitely the best game I’ve

Hall of Famers in Hoosier Dome

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) National and American league greats of yesteryear, including Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and six other Hall of Famers, will be back in harness tonight for the Old-Timers Indiana Dream Game in the new Hoosier Dome. A home run hitting contest at 7 p.m. precedes the old-timers gettogether at 7:30. “I think the fans will be in for a real treat,” said former Chicago Cubs shortstop Ernie Banks. “The old-timers put on a pretty good show. Some can still play pretty good ball, and all of ’em still take the game seriously.” Banks, Aaron, Mays and fellow Hall of Famers Bob Feller, Early Wynn, Brooks Robinson, Monte Irvin and Whitey Ford plan to play. Four of the Hall of Fame players Banks, Aaron, Mays and Irvin will play for the National League old-timers. Former Cubs joining Banks’ squad are Glenn Beckert, Don Kessinger, Randy

ever pitched, since I first picked up a baseball,” said Clemens, who will be 22 on Aug. 4 “The kid pitched good, his best ball game,” said Houk. “I really loved the way he pitched. I’ve seen a lot of talented young pitchers come along and he’s one of the best.” Completing a three-game series sweep, and sending the White Sox down to their 11th defeat in 15 starts, all on the road, since the All-Star break, the Red Sox rolled behind Clemens. While winning nine of the last 10 starts and 15 of the last 19, Boston has improved its record to 5M6, going five games over .500 for the first time since June 6,1983. The Red Sox, insisting they’re not looking at the standings, have moved to within 16‘/i> games of the Detroit Tigers, who were rained out at Cleveland in the

Hundley, Milt Pappas, Ron Santo and Billy Williams. The team also includes Smokey Burgess, Tommy Davis, Don Newcombe, Johnny Sain, Phil Regan, Enos Slaughter, Bobby Thompson and Marv Thornberry. Anderson banker Carl Erskine, who gained baseball fame hummin’ the fastball for the Brooklyn Dodgers, also will make an appearance for the squad. Former New York Yankee Don Larsen, the only pitcher to hurl a perfect game in the World Series (Oct. 8,1956), is one of the American League veterans. That team’s pitching staff also includes knuckleball king Hoyt Wilhelm, Larry Doby, and Hall of Famers Wynn, Feller and Ford. Joining them will be Earl Battey, Jose Cardenal, Minnie Minoso, Tony Oliva, Bill Pierce, Jimmy Piersall, Bobby Richardson, Bill “Moose” Skowron and Baltimore’s Robinson. Former San Francisco and Cubs skipper Herman Franks will manage the National Leaguers.

with a two-out double, and Flynn followed with the winning hit off Robinson, 0-4. Bob James, 3-4, pitched the eighth for the victory, and Jeff Reardon got the final three outs for his 14th save. Giants 3, Astros 2 Dusty Baker hit his first home run since April and only second of the season to help the Giants beat Houston. Bill Laskey, 6-9, and Frank Williams combined on an eighthitter The Giants got only six hits off three Houston pitchers, including starter Mike Scott, 4-9. Scott yielded Baker’s firstinning solo homer, then didn’t give up another hit until the fifth. Houston scored twice in the seventh on doubles by Enos Cabell, Kevin Bass and Bill Doran. Braves 5, Dodgers 1 Atlanta won two of three in Los Angeles as the Dodgers committed errors on three consecutive plays in the third inning to help the Braves score four runs. Craig McMurtry, 8-11, held the Dodgers in check on four hits through 6 1-3 innings. One of the hits was a homer by Franklin Stubbs. Dodgers shortstop Dave Anderson committed a fielding and throwing error, and third baseman German Rivera had a fielding error as the Dodgers defense unraveled in the third. Alex Trevino singled home the first run with two out.

only other scheduled AL action Thursday. “I think that missing a turn helped Clemens a lot,” Houk said. “I’ve had some some bad times and it was very important for me to get this game under my belt,” said Clemens, 4-4 after his first victory in three decisions since June 22. “I needed a good game. I was in a bad rut and when that happens everything seems to go wrong. ’ ’ Clemens, whose apprenticeship included only about four months in the minor leagues before summoned to Boston on May 11, struck out Chicago slugger Ron Kittle, the AL’s 1983 rookie of the year, four times. “I didn’t want to make a mistake with him,” Clemens said. “They (Houk and pitching coach Lee Stange) told me I should pitch him high so 1 just tried to keep the ball up on him and it worked.”

Checkers to play in new league INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Indianapolis Checkers have been granted a franchise with the International Hockey League, club officials say. The team was affiliated with the now-defunct Central Hockey League for five years. Club officials announced Thursday the new franchise was awarded to a group headed by Albert A. Savill, Indianapolis businessman and a former owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League. The previous owners of the Checkers, the NHL’s New York Islanders, will have a minority interest in the club, as will former Checkers’ coach and general manager, Fred Creighton. The Checkers now will be affiliated with the Islanders and two other NHL clubs: Boston Bruins and Minnesota North Stars, according to club spokesman Rick Burns.
