Blazers’ Reamon
gains 179 yards
BY JOE CARNICELLI
UPI Sports Writer
The Florida Blazers had an
ace up their sleeves Friday
night.
The Blazers, the top defen
sive team in the World Football
League but hurting for offense,
unleashed rookie Tommy Rea
mon against the New York
Stars and he responded with a
record-breaking 179-yard per
formance as Florida won 17-15
and took sole possession of first
place in the Eastern Division.
Reamon, starting for the first
time this season, sloshed
through the mud and heavy
rain in New York 33 times to
break the WFL single-game
rushing record set only Monday
by the Stars’ Bob Gladieux.

LA, Cincy war
far from over
By FRED McMANE
UPI Sports Writer
The Los Angeles Dodgers won
a major battle Friday night but
every indication is that their
war with the Cincinnati Reds is
far from over.
The Dodgers boosted their
advantage to 3% games over
Cincinnati in the NL West by
defeating the Reds, 3-1, at
Riverfront Stadium. But it was
more a case of bungled
opportunities on the part of the
Reds than outstanding play on
the part of the Dodgers which
enabled Los Angeles to win the
opener of the three-game set.
The Reds were guilty of
stranding 15 runners against
Don Sutton and reliever Mike
Marshall as they lost to the
Dodgers for the 10th time in 13
outings.
“You can’t leave that many
men on base and expect to win
a game,” Reds’ Manager
Sparky Anderson said. “We had
so many shots at it. But this
thing is gonna go down to the
wire. I really doesn’t bother me
to lose this way. It was a great
game, a helluva game.”
Steve Garvey staked the
Dodgers to a 3-0 lead with a
three-run homer in the first
inning but that was the last
offensive threat Los Angeles
mounted against loser Don
Gullett and two relievers.
“When you win that first
game in foreign park, that’s the
big thing,” said the elated
Garvey. “It’s a psychological
lift. I hit a good fastball for the
homer, down and in. It’s the
kind of pitch I hit real well.
After I swung I looked at
(leftfielder) Pete Rose. He
turned around and I said to
myself ‘that’s a good sign.’”
In other NL games, Pitts
burgh edged Montreal, 2-1; St.
Louis blanked New York, 3-0;
Houston nipped San Diego, 4-3;
San Francisco defeated Atlanta,
2-0, and Philadelphia topped
Chicago, 4-3.
Baltimore swept a double
header from Cleveland, 2-0 and
1-0; Milwaukee blanked Boston,

and told me,” Reamon said.
“It’s a nice thing to have and I
hope I can better it myself. It’s
just nice to be playing again.”
Reamon’s 28-yard run in the
first quarter gave Florida a 7-0
lead and Les Perry boosted it
to 10-0 when he kicked a 37-
yard field goal that hit the
crossbar and bounced over.
Tom Sherman’s 29-yard pass to
Bert Askson cut it to 10-7 but
Bob Davis passed five yards to
Greg Latta for a 17-7 lead.
Sherman threw a 13-yard TD
pass to Kreg Kapitan and then
hit Gladieaux for the action
point to make it 17-15 with two
minutes left. But a costly delay
of game penalty an a huge loss
attempting to pass wiped out
the Stars’ hopes.
“I was just sweating it out
that everything would go down
the drain if they won,” Reamon
2-0; Texas edged Oakland, 5-4,
in 11 innings; California beat
Chicago, 4-2, and New York

homer in the second inning
provided Dock Ellis with the
run he needed to defeat

win in their last 14 games. Ellis
did not allow a hit after the
second inning in notching his
12th win and ninth in his last 10
outings.
Cardinals 3, Mets 0
Lou Brock became only the
second player in modem major
league history to steal 100 bases
in a season when he pilfered
two to lead the Cardinals to
victory over the Mets. Brock,
who raised his season stolen
base total to 101, is only three

Nelson leads
Southern
COLUMBUS, Ga. (UPI) -
Rookie pro Larry Nelson
carried a one-stroke lead into
today’s third round of the
water-logged Southern Open
after carding a three-under-par
67 Friday for a 135 total.
Texan Ben Crenshaw, the
three-time NCAA champion,
charged into contention with a
sizzling 65 Friday to follow
closely on Nelson’s heels.
A morning downpour delayed
play for nearly two hours but
Nelson said he was not
bothered by the soggy condi
tions on the Green Island
Country Club course.
“We’ve been playing on wet
courses for the past three or
four weeks and I’ve gotten used
to it,” said Nelson, 26, who has
been playing golf only five
years.
Crenshaw, 22, who won his
first PGA start at San Antonio
last year, said he had planned
said. “I’ve been hoping for a
long time for a chance. I never
got it in college at Missouri and
I was hoping I could get it in
the WFL. All I wanted was a
chance to show what I could
do.”
The torrential downpour
which began two hours before
gametime held the crowd to
only 3,830, though 14,000 tickets
had been sold.
In the only other action
Friday night, the Southern
California Sun edged the
Detroit Wheels, 10-7, before
only 2,000 at Ypsilanti, Mich.,
the smallest WFL crowd this
year, and the Storm topped the
Hawaiians, 15-8, before 15,551 at
Portland. Tonight, Houston is at
Memphis and Chicago is at
Birmingham.
Sun 10, Wheels 7
James McAlister caught a
modem record of 104 set in
1962. Bob Forsch tossed a four
hitter for the Cardinals.
Astros 4, Padres 3
Rookie Greg Gross scored
one run and drove in another to
pace the Astros’ triumph over
the Padres. Gross triple scored
in the first inning and singled
home a run in the second to help
James Rodney Richard to his
second win in three decisions.
Giants 2, Braves 0
Rookie John D’Acquisto al
lowed only four hits while
recording his first major league
win in pitching the Giants to
victory over the Braves. The
triumph was the 22-year-old
right-hander’s 11th game in 23
decisions.
Phillies 4, Cubs 3
Dick Ruthven scattered eight
hits and Dave Cash drove in
one run and scored another to
give the Phillies a victory over
the Cubs, their fifth straigh
loss.
to “play a conservative round
and let the’ weather do what it
wanted.
“I putted pretty good today,
and I feel like I’m driving it
better and not aiming too
much,” he said. “I feel more
comfortable over the ball.”
Two strokes back at 137 was
Jerry McGee after a 69 Friday.
Forrest Fezler, Bert Yancey,
Mike McCullough and first
round coleader Jim Ferriell
were grouped at 138. Lyn Lott,
who shared the opening lead
with Ferriell, fell to a 72 and
was at 139 with a host of
players, including J. C. Snead
and Bruce Crampton.
Former champions Mason
Rudolph and Dewitt Weaver
were among those failing to
make the cuts. Rudolph, who
won the inaugural event in 1970,
fired a 74 Friday for a 148 total,
while Weaver, who won in 1972,
posted a 72 for a 148 also.
Bob Eastwood had the day’s
second best round, a 66 which
included a hole-in-one on the
226-yard seventh hole. He was
five strokes behind Nelson.

Many NFL players
face ax Tuesday
BY JOE CARNICELLI
UPI Sports Writer
The strike-riddled National
Football League exhibition sea
son winds up this weekend with
five games today and three on
Sunday and the big question in
most coaches’ minds is what to
do next Tuesday.
That’s the day rosters must
be pared to the 47-player limit
and most clubs, having no
cutdown guidelines this year
because of the player strike,
still have as many as 65 to 70
players in camp.
The league office itself is
trying to figure out what kind
of waiver system to use
Tuesday when nearly 400
players suddenly become
available. It could become
almost a second player draft.
The New York Jets are in
Berkeley, Calif., today to face
Oakland, while tonight Cleve
land is at Detroit, New Orleans
at Houston, Miami at Chicago
and San Diego at Minnesota.
The preseason winds up Sunday
with Los Angeles at San
Francisco, Philadelphia at New
England and Atlanta at Denver.
In Friday night action, Green
Bay nipped Cincinnati, 26-24;
Washington edged Baltimore, 7-
6; Buffalo downed the New
York Giants, 23-17, in overtime,
and Kansas City bombed St.
Louis, 31-16.
Packers 26, Bengals 24
Chester Marcol’s 47-yard field
goal as time ran out lifted the
Packers over Cincinnati. Mar
col’s kick came only 29 seconds
after the Bengals had taken the
lead for the first time on a 24-
yard pass from Wayne Clark to
John McDaniel.
The Packers rolled up a 23-3
lead early in the third quarter
on a 79-yard punt return for a
score by Steve Odom only to
see the Bengals rally behind
Clark’s passing.

Billy Kilmer threw a 15-yard
touchdown pass to Charley
Taylor in the third period to
rally the Redskins over Bal

Talbert’s interception and 10-
yard return to the Colt 26 set
up the game’s only touchdown.
Toni Linhart’s 38 and 21-yard
field goals gave the Colts a 6-0
halftime lead.
Bills 23, Giants 17
Dwight Harrison intercepted
a Randy Johnson pass to set up
a four-yard TD run by Wayne
Mosley in sudden death over
time that lifted Buffalo over the
Giants. Harrison took Johnson’s
pass at the Buffalo 40 and
returned it to New York
territory.
Buffalo’s Joe Ferguson
scored one TD and threw nine
yards to Paul Seymour for
another. Rookie Doug Kotar
ran for TDs of 25 and 68 yards
in the first quarter to give the
Giants a 14-3 halftime lead.
