sports atural grass explains Pirates downfall to Cubs CHICAGO Larry Bowa's game-winning infield single probably would have been an out on the astroturf in Pittsburgh and there- in lies the explanation of why the Chicago Cubs dominate in Chicago and the Pirates at home. Jody Davis' sacrifice fly scored the tying run in seventh and Bowa's infield single to short scored the winning run yesterday to give the Cubs a 7-6 triumph over the Pirates. It marked the Cubs' 10th straight victory over the Pirates in Chicago, including eight this season. They are 1-8 in Pittsburgh. Bowa called his hit "Just luck, I knew on the grass it had a chance." Davis, who also doubled in two runs in the fifth, said "Bowa's hit would have been an out on astroturf." Cubs manager Charley Fox said "Bowa's hit definitely would have been an out on artificial grass." Fox also said "There's no question about it, the difference in the teams winning at home is grass and the turf."

Minnesota obtains Manning, Casper By BILL WERONKA AP Sports Writer • MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota greeted Archie Manning yester day morning with a shot of cold air in the face. Manning responded with a warm smile and a warning. "I am not . coming in to be a savior or to bail anyone out," the 34-year-old quarterback said after arriving in Minneapolis to join the Minnesota Vikings, who obtained him in a trade with the Houston Oilers Tuesday night. In the trade, Minnesota report edly gave Houston second and fourth-round picks in the 1984 Na tional Football League draft for Manning and tight end Dave Casp er. The Oilers will pick up part of Manning's $600,000 annual salary and Casper's $275,000 a year pay check through 1985. Also, the New Orleans Saints, who traded Man ning to Houston, will continue to pay part of Manning's salary. Both players .arrived yesterday morning on a private jet chartered by the Vikings and headed to the team's Eden Prairie training fa cility for physicals, team meetings and practice. The trade became necessary when the Vikings lost quarterback Tommy Kramer for the season with a knee injury. Kramer tore ligaments in his right knee during the Tampa Bay game Sunday. He underwent surgery Monday. But Kramer was only the latest blow. Minnesota also lost de fensive back Keith Nord for the Pirate manager Chuck Tanner said he didn't know why each team dominated at home. "If I knew, I'd change it," said Tanner. "I really don't know, it's hard to explain. Maybe it is the difference in the turf. "We didn't play good today and that's the first time in a long time we've played a poor game," said Tanner. The Pirates, with Richie Hebner hitting his fifth home run in the sixth inning and a two-run double in the seventh, had taken a 6- 5 lead before the Cubs rallied in the bottom of the inning. Reliever Fergie Jenkins, 6-9, posted his 284th career victory and Lee Smith picked up his 28th save. Reliever Cecilio Guante, 2- 5, took the loss. Richie Hebner had helped the Pirates take a 6-5 lead with his fifth homer in the sixth inning and a two-run double in the seventh. But Mel Hall was hit by a pitch to open the bottom of the inning and Ron Cey singled. Keith Moreland sacrificed the runners along season Sunday with a torn achilles tendon, giving the Vikings nine players on injured reserve. Casper was a pleasant addition to the trade because tight end Joe Senser is out with a knee injury and the other three tight ends on the team are hobbled with ankle problems. While Manning was digging around in Nis luggage looking for a coat to fend off the 42-degree tem peratures, Casper was flashing a broad smile and sucking in the cool air. "I've always liked cold weath er," the Bemidji, Minn., native said. "I've been trying to get to this team for years. It's a good place to play and it's good living." Manning, a 13-year veteran, was a bit surprised at the trade, but pleased because it gives him an opportunity he's never had. "The Vikings have a great tradi tion and they're a contender. That's something I've never been on before," said Manning, who was traded from New Orleans to Houston last November. He also is comfortable with his role. Vikings Coach Bud Grant has said that Steve Dils will remain the No. 1 quarterback. "I've come in to learn the sys tem and back up Dils," said Man ning, who entered this season ranked 17th on the all-time NFL list for passes completed (1,915) and 25th in total yards passing (22,611). "I just want to be part of the team and help them to the playoffs." and Davis' fly to right scored one run. Pinch-hitter Jay Johnstone walked inten tionally and Bowa beat out an infield hit as Cey scored the lead run from third. The Pirates gave starter Jose DeLeon a 2- 0 lead in the first on run-scoring singles by Dave Parker and Tony Pena. They added an unearned run in the third on an error by starting pitcher Chuck Rainey, a hit batsman, and a squeeze bunt single by Pena. Ryne Sandberg singled in the Chicago first, went to second on one of four Pirate errors and scored on a single by Cey. Sand berg walked in the third, stole second and scored on a double by Hall. The Cubs took the lead with three runs in the fifth. Cey drove in one with a sacrifice fly and Davis doubled in two more.

Of course, that might be ex pected from the teams with the top running attacks in the league. The Steelers, still led by veteran running back Franco Harris, are averaging an NFL-best 227.7 yards a game, while the Patriots are close behind at 225.7. The Patriots' running game was par ticularly effective in their 23-13 upset last Sunday of the New York Jets, when Tony Collins ran for 212 yards and scored all three New England touchdowns. "Collins has it all," said New England Coach Ron Meyer. "He's quick and he runs with power." "Their running game sets the standard in the NFL," said Steel ers Coach Chuck Noll. But the Steelers themselves have returned to the kind of power running attack that was successful for them in the mid-1970s with Harris and Rocky Bleier. Only now, Harris is teamed with Walter Abercrombie and Frank Pollard. ."Age? I don't think that stops people," Noll said of Harris. "He's been relatively injury free." 1 : Harris, at 33, is running like the Harris of old, despite being the third oldest running back in the Terry Whitlock Tilr, 5t1:15M) 101 HEISTER ST serving Pepsi• Cola 1980 Olds Omega 2-door 6 cyl. automatic, a/c, silver with black vinyl top, power steering $4850 1981 Datsun 280 ZX Turbo, T-roof, automatic, two tone , blue silver, a/c, stereo casette $12,200 1982 GLC 4 dr.

He has gained over 100 yards in four of his last five regu lar season games, including back to-back efforts in Steelers' victo ries over Green Bay and Houston the last two weeks. Harris needs just 34 yards Sun day to surpass O.J. Simpson as the No. 2 rusher in National Football League history and is 1,109 yards behind all-time rushing leader Jim Brown. "Sure, I'm aware of it," Harris said. "It would mean something to me. O.J. Simpson has probably always been my favorite running back." With 260 yards in three games, Harris is off to his best start since 1976, when he rushed for 264 yards. This is also the earliest in his 12- year pro career that Harris has had a pair of 100-yard games. "A running game gives you that hammer you need to win," Meyer said. That's why Meyer is trying to develop a running attack as suc cessful as Pittsburgh's, the kind that enables teams to control the football. The Steelers have kept the ball as much as 15 minutes longer than their three opponents and have a 222-164 edge in total plays. "Ball control ... that's been a big part of it," said Noll.

Many of the Lady Lions are freshmen and are trying to adjust to different styles of play. Head Coach Gillian Rattray said, however, that traveling has not posed any real problems for the new play ers. "It may seem as though we're always on the road," Rattray said. "It's always tough for ( the new play ers) the first time on the road. But it hasn't been a problem for us." The Lady Lions are undefeated in regular season play and will be facing stiffer opposition as the season pro gresses. It will be important for the squad to adapt to its hectic schedule quickly. "From here on in we will not have a break in (our schedule) to rest," Rattray said. "Our next two games are crucial because Princeton and Syracuse are both in our region. It's imperative that when we play these teams we do well because the results are considered (for post season play)." Penn State will be tested by Prince ton particularly in the circle. Rattray has sighted corners and work in the circle as two problem spots for the Lady Lions. "We have been working a lot on corners liecause we had problems with that against North Carolina,"ju- SMART Shop DAYS Brushed Wool Crewnecks Buy GET 1 FREE A large selection of crewneck sweaters Reg. 5 29 value 5 14.90 to 5 24.90 in 15 new fall shades SMART shop "Where Fashion Is Flrst" l2B S.

"We worked this week on rushing the goal and we have been doing a lot of work on the basics." That extra work in the circle should be to the Lady Lions' advantage. Princeton is known to play a very strong defensive game. The fact that the Tigers are yeturning six starters makes them appear even stronger. "It's very frustrating sometimes," Rattray explains. "It is such a low scoring game where the other team can pack the circle. This makes it very difficult to score. We'll have to work against that by getting ,the fast break." Because the Lady Lions are (for the most part) inexperienced, their latest contest against North Carolina has given the extra confidence they need as they get into the thick of their competition. "The fact we were able to stay with North Carolina is a real boost for us," Florio said. "They were powerful and we stayed with them. They kept com ing back and it was on turf which made it even tougher. It took a little more patience." Penn State has still not established a definite starting line up. Rattray is alternating between Laurie Gray and Karen Anderson at wing and in the midfield with Alix Hughes and Jac que Boyle. Rattray said she would rather be able to assign a player td a spot but that the uncertainty does have its advantages. She said she finds it comforting to know the team has depth.
