Bucs remain in Ist with 10-1
PITTSBURGH (AP) Jose DeLeon
pitched a four-hitter in only, his second
major-league appearance as the surging
Pittsburgh Pirates downed the San Diego
Padres 10-1 last night behind a pair of
hornets by Johnny Ray.
DeLeon was flirting with a no-hitter until
Alan Wiggins lined a 2-1 pitch into left field
with one out in the seventh. DeLeon, 2-0, also
yielded a two-out single to Juan Bonilla in
the eighth. •
A right-hander recalled from Hawaii of
the Pacific Coast League on July 18, DeLeon
picked up his first major-league victory last
Saturday by allowing just four hits in eight
innings in a 5-2 Pittsburgh over San Francis
co.
The Pirates, winning for the 15th time out
of their last 19 games, took a 3-0 lead against
loser Eric Show, 10-7, in the first.
Phillies 3
Astros 1
HOUSTON (AP) John Denny and Willie
Hernandez combined on a four-hitter as the
Philadelphia Phillies beat Houston 3-1 last
night and handed the Astros their fourth
straight loss.
Denny, 10-5, who came into the game with
the fourth best ERA in the National League,
struck out three and walked one in seven
innings as he won his fourth straight game.
Hernandez pitched the last two innings,
recording his sixth save.
Joe Niekro, 8-8, suffered the loss for
Houston, striking out five while giving up
seven hits and all three runs over eight
innings. It was Niekro's first loss in his last
five starts.

snap a sixth-inning tie and ignite a three-run
rally that carried the Montreal Expos to a 6-
3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds last night.
Rookie Greg Bargar, who started the
season with Montreal's Class AA Memphis
farm club, picked up his second major
league victory in three starts. Bargar, 2-0,
scattered six hits over five innings, getting
help from reliever Bob James, who pitched
the final four innings for his second save.
Bargar also drove in a run with his first
major-league hit, a second-inning single off
loser Frank Pastore, 4-9, to give Montreal a
3-1 lead.
Cardinals
Giants 6
ST. LOUIS (AP) Tommy Herr's one-out
sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, his second
straight game-winning RBI, gave St. Louis
a 7-6 victory yesterday over the San Fran
cisco Giants in a game in which the Cardi
nals stole nine bases.
David Green, pinch-hitting for winning
pitcher Dave von Ohlen, 3-2, beat out an
infield hit to start the winning rally, which
gave the Cardinals their fourth win in a row.
Green stole second, moved to third when
George Hendrick fouled out to right field
and scored on a deep fly to center by Herr,
who won Tuesday night's game with a ninth
inning single.

NEW YORK (AP) Rafael Ramirez's
two-out, two-run single highlighted a four
run eighth inning as the Atlanta Braves
rallied to defeat the New York Mets 6-3
yesterday and averted a three-game sweep
at the hands of the last-place Mets.
The Braves had lost a 2-0 lead when
Mookie Wilson cracked a three-run homer in
the bottom of the eighth to give the Mets a 3-
2 lead.
But the Braves bounced right back in the
eighth.
Rookie Craig McMurtry was the benefi

to 12-5. Doug Sisk, third of six New York
pitchers, took the loss and dropped to 4-3.

Brett decision delayed until today
By JOHN NELSON
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK While baseball waited for Lee
MacPhail, the American League president waited
for one last report yesterday before deciding the
case of George Brett and his pine tar bat.
The question, meanwhile, lingered: Were um
pires correct in disallowing a two-run homer by the
Kansas City Royals' third baseman because there
was too much tar on his bat?
The answer, to be announced today, apparently is
not a simple yes or no
Originally, the league thought it could produce a
decision by yesterday, but MacPhail's assistant,
Bob Fishel, said a ruling would be made at an 11:30
a.m. EDT press conference at league headquar
ters.
Fishel said MacPhail was "waiting for one more
report. It's something technical, I think, but I'm not
sure what it is."
He said that among those with whom MacPhail
had talked were members of baseball's rules com
mittee, fueling speculation that a final decision on
Brett's bat' would revolve around an interpretation
of the two rules used to nullify his homer against
the New York Yankees.
' "I don't want to get into that," Fishel said. "I

assume that 'will be covered in MacPhail's
statement."
R. all began Sunday night when Brett hit a two
run homer with two out in the ninth inning at
Yankee Stadium, givirig the Royals a 5-4 lead.
Yankees Manager Billy Martin, however, com
plained to home plate umpire Tim McClelland that
the amount of pine tar on the bat exceeded an 18-
inch limit.
After examining it, McClelland and crew chief
Joe Brinkman agreed and called Brett out. It was
the final out in the game, and the Yankees won 4-3.
The bat has since been sent to MacPhail's office,
along with reports from the umpiring crew and a
protest of the decision by the Royals.
Two rules were invoked by the umpires to nullify
the home run. The first says, in essence, that a bat
may not be treated with any foreign substance,
including pine tar, more than 18 inches from the
end of the handle. If an illegal bat is detected by an
umpire, it should be removed from the game.
The other rule says a batter is out for "illegal
action" if he uses or attempts to use a bat that has
been altered or tampered with "in such a way to
improve the distance factor or cause an unusual
reaction on the baseball." This rule, however, does
not specifically mention pine tar as such a sub
stance.

One of the decisions MacPhail must make appar
ently is whether pine tar fits into the category of an
advantageous alteration.
In 1975, the California Angels protested that John
Mayberry of the Royals had used an illegally
tarred bat when he hit two home runs. That protest
came after the game. Mayberry was not called out
by the umpires, and MacPhail turned down the
Angels' protest. Again in 1975, the late Thurman
Munson of the New York Yankees was called out
and had an RBI single nullified in a game for using
a bat with too much tar on it.
Until the Brett case, Munson had been the only
player called out for illegal use of pine tar. In fact,
the first rule applied to the Brett case was not
changed to specifically include the words "pine
tar" until 1976.
If MacPhail were to overturn the umpires' rul
ing, it could create a scheduling problem. The
game apparently would have to be treated as
though it had been suspended, picking it up with the
Royals at bat with two out in the ninth, leading 5-4.
Since the teams are not scheduled to meet each
other again this season, any continuation probably
would have to be played after the final day of the
season. The game, however, would not have to be
finished if it would not affect the team's standing.

Dreibelbis, Hoffman
fare well in triathlon
By RICK STOUCH
Collegian Sports Writer
For two members of the Penn
State Triathlon Club, the running
segment of last Saturday's tin
man triathlon at Tupper Lake,
N.Y. will provide less than an
enjoyable memory.
But despite the problems experi
enced in the last part of the race,
which consists of 1.2 miles swim
ming, 56 miles biking and 13.1
miles running, Mark Dreibelbis
and Dave Hoffman still managed
to finish seventh and 12th respec
tively, out of a field of 78.
Dreibelbis, 26, said that the hilly
bike course left his knees soft and
weak for the running segment. But
he also had two other problems.
"I drank four ounces of water
when I got off of my bike," Drei
belbis said, "and that's too much
for me: I had a cramp for the first
four miles of running, then I got
back in stride.
"Then my sock tore and bun
ched up for the last seven miles
and I ended up with a bad blister
on my heel. But I finished well."
And he was happy with his per
formance.
"I was pleased," Dreibelbis
said. "I was real pleased: I
couldn't have done much better. I
was pretty strong on the swim,
had my fastest bike segment ever
and ran fairly well. I felt mentally
good and strong for the whole
race."
Dreibelbis, fourth after the
swimming and eighth after the
biking, had a total race time of
4:49.49.
He said he learned a lot.
"I learned that my biking has

come a long way," Dreibelbis
said. "I couldn't have done better.
Now I can start to refine it to
become a more competitive biker
for the triathlon.
"I also learned when to drink
and how much and that I need to
run some longer distances to pre
pare myself to go hard for 13
miles."
For Hoffnian, who completed
the course in 5:11.15, the problem
might have been one of doing too
well in the first two segments.
"My swimmimg and biking
were good, but my run kind of
stunk," Hoffman said. "I wish I
could have run better. It wasn't
one of my bests. It was OK.
"I think I should slow down a
little bit in the swimming segment
and then perhaps I'll have some
more energy left for running."
Hoffman was first out of the
water and second after the biking.
He was passed in the cycling seg
ment only by the eventual winner,
Robert Bernier.
Bernier, from Montreal, is a
former member of the Canadian
cycling team and came out of the
water in 18th place. He finished
the race in 4:40.21.
Hoffman said he also gained
something from the face.
"I will probably start slower and
try to finish faster next time,"
Hoffman said. "I'm learning more
about pacing as I do more.
"It's also good to see I can still
finish these things," he added.
And now, with some more expe
rience, practice and a little luck,
maybe the running segment won't
bother these two competitors any
more either.
