After capturing the league title, the Eaglettes won the tournament championship. Members of the championship team are: Front (1-r) Jennifer Welty, Nancy Newbern, Ursula Phillips, Linda Klmbell, Tammy Roberts. Back, Doreen Gifford, Emily Harris, Laurie Phillips. Michelle Hartsfield, Tammy Early. The coaches are Liz Jones and Carolyn Harris. Hester Smith and Meredith Fowler also played for the Eaglettes. ‘Pitchers’ are name of baseball game HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer Pitching is supposed to be the name of the game ... and the names of the pitchers in today’s exhibition baseball news are Mike Cuellar, Don Aase, Tom seaver, Catfish hunter and Sparky Lyle. Cuellar and Aase, something old and something new, made big strides toward making their respective clubs while Seaver appeared in midseason form. Hunter allowed a couple of home runs, which is midseason form for him, and Lyle again refused to pitch anything but batting practice while he re mains unsigned. Cuellar, who will be 40 in May, is trying to bounce back with California after the Balti more Orioles dropped him fol lowing last year’s 4-13 record and 4.96 earned run average. The spring had been a dis aster—l 6 hits and seven walks in 11 innings—but Friday the veteran lefty allowed just two singles and one walk in six scoreless innings as the Angels nipped the Chicago Cubs 1-0. Aase, who won’t be 23 until September, is the best right hander developed in the Boston system since Jim Lonborg. He was expected to join the Red Sox during the 1976 season after an impressive start in the International League but in stead was sidelined from June on with a tender arm. He was the starter Friday in the Red Sox’ 2-113-inning loss to the New York Mets, working Mb H i/j WMI J' / * LffllF ‘ ®F I '. e '. ' -*■ 'rfrtifc- Sportsmanship trophy The Tigers of the Rick Barry Basketball League have been presented the Jason F. Gold stein Sportsmanship Trophy. Hie team was cited for its outstanding sportsmanship during the 1977 season. Members of the Tigers are: Front (1-r) Scott Chesser, Luke Welty, Chris Chesser, Titus Baldwin. Standing, Donald York, coach, Robert Eubanks, Andre Holmes, Richard York, Kris Larson and Jimmy Daniel. The Tigers received the same trophy a year ago. five innings and allowing one hit, an unearned run and strik ing out four. Seaver was even better. He blanked the Red Sox for five in nings on one hit and fanned six. Hunter’s first pitch in the New York Yankees’ 5-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies dis appeared over the fence courte sy of Garry Maddox. In the fourth, Jerry Martin tagged the Catfish for a three-run shot. Nevertheless, Hunter, who allowed an American League leading 28 home runs last sea son while pitching with a sore arm, said he was satisfied after yielding four runs and six hits in six innings while striking out six. After Hunter, the Yankees trotted out Ron Guidry, heir ap parent to Lyle’s job as the top left-handed reliever. Lyle threw 15 minutes of batting practice but still hasn’t pitched in a game and Gabe Paul, the club president, says he’s “not too happy about that.” Meanwhile, Woodie Fryman, the 37-year-old lefty Cincinnati acquired from Montreal in the Tony Perez deal, hurled seven innings of four-hit, one-run ball and the Reds edged the Min nesota Twins 2-1 in 10 innings. It was the best performance by a Cincy pitcher and lowered Fryman’s spring ERA to 1.29. The Twins suffered twin loss es when the Toronto Blue Jays nipped another squad of Min nesotans 4-3 on Ron Fairly’s eighth-inning homer. Oakland center fielder Dennis Walling may remember Fri day’s meaningless 7-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants as jnuch as anything he ever does in baseball. Oh, the embar rassment of it all! The final run in San Fran cisco’s three-run ninth inning scored from third base when Walling lost sight of Terry Whitfield’s fly ball and it hit him—shades of Babe Herman on the side of the head. Elsewhere, Cecil Cooper’s 450-foot two-run homer helped the Milwaukee Brewers outslug the Seattle Mariners 11-7; home runs by John Hale, Johnny Oates and Teddy Martinez pow ered the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Texas Rangers 5-4; the Cleveland Indians shaded the San Diego Padres 7-5 to end a five-game losing streak; im pressive rookie Julio Gonzalez had four more hits as the Hous ton Astros edged the Montreal Expos 5-4; Larry Harlow’s two run double lifted the Baltimore Orioles over the Kansas City Royals 6-5 and Barry Bonnell’s 13th-inning single pushed the Atlanta Braves past the Chi cago White Sox 11-10. Bob Robertson’s two-run homer enabled the Pittsburgh Pirates to defeat the Detroit Ti gers 3-2. The Pirates took the game so seriously that catcher Duffy Dyer was thrown out for disputing a ball-strike call and Manager Chuck Tanner follow ed him for protesting the ejec tion. Namath’s knees most important FREEPORT, Grand Bahama (AP) _ Carroll Rosenbloom says it depends more on Joe Namath’s knees than his salary whether the colorful quarter back will play for the National Football League’s Los Angeles Rams this fall. “Os course we’re interested in Namath, if he can help us,” Rosenbloom said Friday during a vacation here. “But it’s all important to know if he’ll pass our physical and our doctor’s physical.” open m ■■■■■■ °^ Y Saturday. so "°*’ flw sdhdav, A A X ■ MM MONDAY fl| fIMMH|F Mfl HHfIR/ _| zL M 4 _4" ■ 4 4- 4— —• ■ */ A I 'x w Men '* jL 7 '•-•■j ‘ V - \ . ’ A \ • ■ /P\7T ‘’l9k l 8 i I Jy/iHwM \ //1/ W| |lw TEAM UP I T pK J ■ |mfl|flV CJHSBI Fsjk-'- V separates I < wWflr JCMEwiW?

Namath says he wants to play in Los Angeles to be close to Hollywood and the movie in dustry. But Rosenbloom told the Nas sau Tribune that no decision would be made until he returns to Los Angeles next week and talks to Coach Chuck Knox. The Rams owner said talks about the possible Namath move have been going on for a long time. “Obviously Namath wants to join a good club where he gets good protection, can play effec tively and go out in a blaze of glory,” Rosenbloom said. Rosebloom said he liked Namath. But he said he’d want to know “if he would fit in with the Rams” and he left no doubt about Namath’s physical condi- tion being the most important factor. “He’d also have to agree to a monetary concession and also be able to play good football” without having an assured starting role, said Rosenbloom. “He will not necessarily be our starter at all,” he said. “He needs a lot of protection from a good club, and we can provide that all right. But he’ll be there with our own quarterbacks — James Harris and Pat Haden.
