Tudor too much for Pittsburgh By DICK BRINSTER AP Sports Writer If the mark of a good pitcher is a victory on a night when he feels like a bad one, pencil in John Tudor as a good one on the threshold of becoming a great one. “He told me before the game he didn’t have good stuff,” St. Louis catcher Darrell Porter said after Tudor limited Pittsburgh to five hits over eight innings Monday night to win for the 14th time in his last 15 starts as the Cardinals bombed Pittsburgh 8-1. “If you don’t have good stuff and you’re pitching that well, you’re doing pretty good.” “I DIDN’T THINK I had as good a fastball as I had in the past few games,” said Tudor, 15-8 with a glittering 2.07 earned run average and a major-league-leading six shutouts. The victory enabled the Cardinals to stay within a game of the New York Mets in the National League East. The Mets survived a ninth-inning scare to edge Philadelphia 4-3. Elsewhere it was Chicago 8, Montreal 7; San Diego, 2, Cincinnati 0; and Los Angeles 3, Atlanta 0. Mets 4, Phillies 3 Sid Fernandez, who says he is beginning to feel comfortable in the major leagues, matched his career high for strikeouts with 13 as he pitched a one-hitter into the ninth inning. “I no longer have any self-doubt,” explained the 6-foot-l, 220-pound left-hander. “Now, I believe in myself. No question, I was disappointed in not finishing, but I respect the manager’s (Dave Johnson’s) judgment.” DESPITE HIS performance, the 22-year-old Fernandez had to sweat out the ninth when Roger McDowell gave up a three-run homer to Philadelphia’s Glenn Wilson. Keith Hernandez drove in three runs and Wally Backman had three hits and scored three times to lead New York. Dodgers 3, Braves 0 While Los Angeles has soared to a seven-game lead in the NL West, lefthander Rick Honeycutt hasn’t felt like much of a contributor. But this time Honeycutt surrendered just two singles over six shutout innings before Tom Niedenfuer came on to get his 10th save. “It was a relief just to go past 2 2-3 innings,” said Honeycutt, who improved his record to 7-10. “It had been a real stumbling block.” Padres 2, Reds 0 With bullpen ace Rich Gossage out of action with a knee injury, San Diego was badly in need of relief and got it in the form of Lance McCullers. The hard-throwing right-hander, called up from Las Vegas of the Pacific Coast League, pitched 2 2-3 innings in relief of starter Mark Thurmond to preserve a shutout and earn his first save. ; McCULLERS’ EFFORT against the struggling Reds, who have scored just three runs in their last 41 innings, saved the game for Thurmond, who started his first game since July 11. The Padre lefthander departed after suffering a pulled muscle in his left buttock in the seventh inning. Steve Garvey doubled home two runs in the sixth inning off Mario Soto, 10-13.

Jackson climbs in Angels' loss

By The Associated Press Along with round-number milestones like 20, 30, 400, 500 and 3,000, baseball has numbers whose importance comes from the stars who stopped there 755 and 4,191. Reggie Jackson reached 521. Jackson entered a new class of baseball royalty with his 521st career home run Monday night, but in a losing cause. The California Angels lost the first game of, their doubleheader 6-5 to the Seattle Mariners. The Angels won the second game 4-3, with Brian Downing hitting a two-run homer. Rod Carew advanced on an all-time list of his own. His four hits in the doubleheader left him with 3,009 hits. He moved ahead of A 1 Kaline into 14th place on the all-time list. Lou Brock is next in line with 3,023 hits. At 39 years of age and in his 18th majorleague season, Jackson is now tied for the No. 8 spot on the all-time home run list. Five hundred and twenty one is the number of home runs Ted Williams hit. It’s also the number hit by Willie McCovey, the only man not enshrined in the Hall of Fame besides Jackson to have hit 500 home runs. McCovey becomes eligible next year. His first time up Monday, Jackson hit a 1-0 pitch from Seattle’s Frank Wills into the left-field stands. With one more like that, Reggie will become one of only eight men to hit more than the Kid. His 521st was Jackson’s 96th homer with the Angels. He hit 254 with the Kansas City and Oakland A’s, 27 with the Baltimore Orioles and 144 with the New York Yankees

Bosley's experience almost as unique to Cubs; Bowa is waived

CHICAGO (AP)- Thad Bosley, the National League’s best pinch hitter, doubled his season homer total and jumped his RBIs by over 50 per cent as the Chicago Cubs broke a seven-game losing streak. Bosley hit two homers and drove in five runs as the Cubs edged Montreal 8-7 Monday at Wrigley Field. His three-run pinch homer in the sixth tied the game at 6-6, and his two-run shot in the eighth provided the winning runs “IT WAS A VERY unique experience,” he said of his feelings after his winning shot off ace reliever Jeff Reardon. “I was caught up in it personally, and also full of the vibrations of the fans around me,” he said. The fans gave him a standing ovation and called him out of the dugout to tip his cap. “I wasn’t looking for a pitch to drive,” he said of his final at-bat, when he faced Reardon, 2-5, the major league leader in saves with 29. “I thought he’d keep it ahead of me, but he came right down the heart of the plate.” Bosley had just two homers and nine RBIs in 65 games coming into the contest, but led the league with 13 pinch hits. DAVE GUMPERT, 1-0, who was recalled from the minors Monday, pitched two innings for his first major league win.

REGGIE JACKSON Hits homer No. 521

Jackson’s 521st home run came on his 8,957 th career at-bat. Williams hit 521 in 7,706 at-bats, and McCovey in 8,197. Jimmy Foxx, with 534 home runs, and Mickey Mantle, with 536, are well within Jackson’s reach. After them the list leaps to 573 and Harmon Killebrew. The only players in baseball history with more home runs than Reggie Jackson are Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth. Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Killebrew, Mantle and Foxx In other American League games, Texas tipped Toronto 5-4, Kansas City topped Boston 3-2, Milwaukee stopped Detroit 4-3, New York stomped Chicago 10-4, and Cleveland beat Baltimore 8-5. Minnesota swept a doubleheader from Oakland, 4-3 and 5-4.

LARRY BOWA Waived by Cubs

The Expos opened scoring in the third on Tim Raines’ sixth homer of the year, a solo shot off Chicago starter Lary Sorensen, who gave up five runs in five innings. Tim Wallach, who hit two homers in the game, slugged his first in the fourth inning, also scoring Terry Francona. The Expos built the lead to 5-0 in the fifth, on Hubie Brooks’ 10th homer of the

RON HASSEY Powers Yankees

Indians 8, Orioles 5 Next time Pat Tabler comes up with the bases loaded, walk him. Tabler is 22-for-34 with 54 RBIs in such situations over three years with Cleveland. He has driven in 15 runs while going 6-for-6 with the bases full this year. Tabler singled in two runs with the bases loaded as Cleveland scored five times in the first inning. He added a run-scoring double in the ninth. Baltimore starter Scott McGregor, 9-10, made just 17 pitches and failed to retire any of the five batters he faced. Yankees 10, White Sox 4 Ron Hassey hit two homers, helping Phil Niekro to his 295th career victory. Hassey’s second homer of the game triggered a seven-run seventh inning that

season, which also scored Raines. THE RALLY STARTED when Bob Dernier was safe when first baseman Francona pulled his foot off the bag to grab a wide throw Dernier scored on Gary Matthew’s double. Ryne Sandberg followed with his 16th homer to make the score 5-3. Matthews’ run was the I,oooth of his career, making him the 16th active player to reach that plateau. Wallach greeted Chicago reliever Warren Brusstar by driving his first pitch out of the ballpark in the sixth inning, for his 11 th homer of the season. BUT CHICAGO TIED the game at 6-6 in the sixth, when Bosley, hitting for Brusstar, knocked a pitch from reliever Randy St. Claire into the right-field seats. It followed bloop singles by Chris Speir and Steve Lake. Montreal scratched for a run in the eighth off Gumpert, with Vance Law’s sacrifice fly scoring U.L. Washington. But Spier singled with one out in the eighth for Chicago. One out later, Bosley crushed a 1-2 pitch from Reardon into the center-field seats to score pinch runner Larry Bowa. Bowa was put on waivers after the game for the purpose of giving him his release.

broke a 3-3 tie. The triumph was their seventh straight, giving the Yankees their longest winning streak of the season and lifting them to within six games of Toronto. Twins 4-5, A’s 3-4 Bert Blyleven’s four-hitter, in his majorleague leading 17th complete game, won the opener. Then 3 2-3 shutout relief innings by Steve Howe helped nail down the sweep. Blyleven, 11-12, went the distance for the 17th time this year. Blyleven now has 143 strikeouts, giving him the American League lead in that category as well. Howe was making his first appearance for the Twins, who signed him Sunday. Brewers 4, Tigers 3 Earnest Riles collected three hits and drove in what proved to be the decisive run with a single during Milwaukee’s threerun uprising in the eighth inning. The Brewers scored with the help of two Tiger errors in the eighth. Milwaukee starter Jaime Cocanower, 31, allowed seven hits in eight innings. Rollie Fingers picked up his 14th save. Rangers 5, Blue Jays 4 The Blue Jays led 3-1 after the top of the eighth. The Rangers led 4-3 after the bottom of the eighth. The game was tied 4-4 after the top of the ninth, then Wayne Tolleson drove in Steve Buechele with a one-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning. Dwayne Henry got the victory in his first major-league appearance. Texas' Cliff Johnson hit a three-run homer in the eighth. Toronto’s Tony Fernandez tripled, doubled and scored two runs.

Gillen new coach

CINCINNATI (AP) - Xavier University’s new basketball coach says he will bring a more aggressive style of basketball to the school and vowed that his players will all graduate. Pete Gillen, a Notre Dame assistant coach since 1980, was named Monday to replace Bob Staak to left for Wake Forest after six seasons here.

Sundstrom wins easy

MONTREAL (AP) - No. 11 seed Henrik Sundstrom of Sweden easily defeated Derek Segal of Toronto y-1, 6-2 Monday in the opening day of the $368,000 Player’s International tennis tournament. “I think the score tells what happened in the match,” said Sundstrom, ranked 19th in the world. “It was not that close.” The biggest upset of the afternoon was the win by 34th-seed Marc Flur over fellow American, Paul Annacone, seeded 17th.

Nets to name Wohl

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) The New Jersey Nets announced Monday they have once again ended a search for a successor to Stan Albeck, and will name Dave Wohl as head coach of the team where he ended his playing career eight years ago. Lewis Schaffel, the Nets executive vice president, told the Star-Ledger of Newark that Wohl signed a three-year contract Monday worth less than $500,000.

A 1968 graduate of Fairfield University in Connecticut, Gillen has been a head coach at Brooklyn Prep and an assistant at Hawaii, Virginia Military, Villanova and most recently Notre Dame. Gillen said he learned much from Villanova Coach Rollie Massimino and Notre Dame Coach Richard “Digger” Phelps.

Annacone took little time in handing Flur a 6-3 loss in the first set but Flur rallied to take the next two 6-4,6-4. In other matches, Chris Pridham of Toronto lost his first set against Jonathan Canter of the U S. 6-0 before they went game for game, and point for point that ended in a 7-6 tiebreaker win in favor of Canter. Chip Hooper used a cannonball of a serve to oust fellow American Peter Fleming. Hooper dropped the first set 3-6 but won the next two 6-3,6-2.

Other sources close to the National Basketball Association teams confirmed that the new coach was Wohl. who has spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers. Villanova Coach Rollie Massimino was offered the head coaching job in June shortly after Albeck left, but he turned down the Nets’ lucrative offer just hours before a news conference at which he was to be introduced.
