Henneman, who began the season at Class AAA Toledo, took over with one out in the eighth after Randy Bush's RBI triple made it 6-4. Henneman retired Kirby Puckett on a grounder and struck out Kent Krbek — who already had an RBI double and run-scoring single — and then worked a perfect ninth for his fourth save.

“T just wanted to keep the ball in on Puckett, and kept it down to Hrbek,” said Henneman, 9-1 with a 2.20 earned run average.

Letters have come in by the hun- dreds at the Islanders’ office, each containing some advice to heal the most prolific scorer and one of the most popular players in the club's history.

This week, another physiother- apist and a back specialist are to visit Bossy, who is discouraged but refuses to give up.

“Each time someone proposes something new, I tell myself that I've got a chance to come out of this,” Bossy said in an interview published Tuesday in Le Journal de Montreal. “That's why

MONTREAL (CP) — Three weeks from the opening of the New York Islanders’ training camp, Mike Bossy continues to hope for a cure for the back ailment that threatens to end his National Hockey League career.

Bossy, the 30-year-old right wing- er whose 573 career goals are fifth-best on the all-time NHL list, played much of last season with a sore back. The injury reduced his production to 38 goals, preventing him from scoring at least 50 goals for a 10th straight

Gagner and Nowotny have some talented men to dis. tribute the ball to, including veteran running backs Matt Pearce and Mark Petros, who should compensate for the loss of Cochrane, UBC’s leading rusher last year.

Speier Giants’ hero

By The Associated Press

Chris Speier, once a young phenom for the Sar Francisco Giants, now has become an old hero.

Speier, 37, hit a home run to snap an eighth-inning tie as the Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 on Tuesday night. The victory gave San Francisco a 1'/2-game lead over the Houston Astros in the National League West.

“Chris Speier is the most valuable player on this ball club,” Giants manager Roger Craig said after the game.

With one out in the eighth and the score tied 2-2, Speier hit a drive off the left-field foul pole for his 10th homer of the season, against Kevin Gross, 8-11. On Monday, Speier hit a two-run homer in the Giants’ 6-1 victory over the Phillies.

Following the 1986 season, when he hit .294, the much-travelled Speier became a free agent and found few takers

“I looked at the teams I thought needed a utility in fielder,” he said. “So, I called (coach) Don Zimmer and he

talked to (president and general manager) Al Rosen and I signed. No other club had contacted me.”

The reunion has been a joyous one, as Speier has filled in at second, short and third when injuries sidelined Robbie Thompson, Jose Uribe and Chris Brown, who later was traded to the San Diego Padres.

In 266 at-bats for the Giants, Speier is hitting .248 and has 34 runs batted in. He also has two grand slams this season. On the field, he’s made only three errors.

In other NL games Tuesday it was: the Los Angeles Dodgers 3, the New York Mets 1; the Pittsburgh Pirate 1, the Cincinnati Reds 0; and the St. Louis Cardinals 7, Houston 1. The game between the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field was rained out.

Pirates 1 Reds 0

Mike Dunne pitched a two-hitter for his first major-league shutout and Johnny, Ray's first-inning single drove in the game's only run as host Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati, extending the Reds’ 1é8ing streak to five games. Dunne, 8-5, did not allow a runner past second base, striking out seven and walking one.

Dodgers 3 Mets 1

Fernando Valenzuela pitched a four-hitter, struck out

13, and pitched a complete game despite walking eight as

champions.

“Kenny Hobart is limping a lot better,” the Hamilton Tiger-Cat coach noted.

“It's been a tough year,” said Bruno. “But we've been fortunate to have a lot of good guys available to take up the slack.”

It is an unfortunate truism of professional football that one man's injury is another's opportunity.

While Hobart rests a brok. en leg and fellow quarterback Mike Kerrigan recovers from a stretched stomach muscle, Tom Porras has posted the league's top pass-completion average, 60.8 per cent.

Rookie defensive lineman Johnnie Lewis has not looked out of place while replacing Mitchell Price and Mike Walker, and Canadian line backer Ed Gataveckas has been a pleasant surprise — at least to some.

‘NO SURPRISE’ “It's been no real surprise

0. A product of Acadia Uni versity, he has started four games this year, with 11 tackels, one sack and two passes knocked down.

Gataveckas doesn't know whether he'll get the nod Saturday night when the Ticats play host to the Ottawa Rough Riders, but he wouldn't mind a shot at the team that spoiled Hamilton's season opener, 36-32.

With a 5-3 record, the Tiger-Cats are well ahead of their usual early pace.

“We're not looking at other teams or the standings this year,” explained Gataveckas. “We're competing within our selves.”

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Taiwan coach Yu Jung-Hsing said his players were nervous in the opening game of the Little League World Series. But the score. board didn’t reflect it.

ston homered to give Ches terfield, Ind., champions of the U.S. Central region, a 4-1 victory over Morristown, Tenn., the Southern champs.

Quarter-finals conclude to- day with the Canadian entry from Glace Bay, N.S., playing the Latin American champ- ion, Moca, Dominican Re- public, and the U.S. East champs, Dover, N.H., taking on the Western champion, Irvine, Calif.

Hua Lian needs a victory Thursday against the winner of the Canada-Latin America game and another in the finals Saturday against the U.S. champion to give the Far East its 17th World Series title in 21 years.

Taiwan won 11 of those Series, with Hai Lian taking the title in 1980.

Wang Pei-Ching threw a two-hitter and hit a home run as the juggernaut from Hua Lian, Taiwan, set down a mostly American team from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, 7-0 in an opening-round game Tues day.

“I was confident -in my team,” Jung-Hsing said through an interpreter. “We had only five hits, so I don't think we played well, but it’s the first game here.”
