Spinks TKOs Cooney in the sth
By ED SCHUYLER JR
AP Boxing Writer
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Mi
chael Spinks knocked down Gerry
Cooney twice in the fifth round and
then stopped him last night as
Cooney stood helplessly against
the ropes to win a scheduled 15-
round heavyweight bout:
Spinks hurt Cooney with a right
hand after Cooney missed with a
wild left hook. Then Spinks landed
a barrage of punches to the head
that put Cooney down.
He got up at three but Spinks
came to the attack and flattened
him with another barrage.
The 6-foot-6 Cooney struggled to
his feet again. But Spinks came on
again, backing off briefly as if he
needed a rest. A moment later,
Spinks launched another barrage
and finally referee Frank Cappuc
cino stopped the fight at 2:51.
The bout was billed by promoter
Butch Lewis as one for the heavy
weight championship of the world,
although the World Boxing Council
and World Boxing Association rec
ognize Mike Tyson as champion
and the International Boxing. Fed
eration, which stripped Spinks,
recognizes Tony Tucker.
The fight surely moves Spinks
toward a major money-match with
Tyson sometime in 1988.
The devastating loss most likely
ended Cooney's career. It was his
second defeat in an important
bout. On June 11, 1982, he was
stopped in the 13th round by Larry
Holmes in a bid for the WBC title.
Between the loss to Holmes and
last night's fight before a sellout
crowd of 16,500, Cooney had fought
only three times for seven rounds.
The inactivity surely hurt him.
Before the match, Spinks said:
"I can't be acting like I'm afraid of
Gerry. I'm not. I'm looking for an
opportunity to hit him with my
Sunday punch."
In the first four rounds, Spinks
speared Cooney with punishing

Phillies right fielder Glen Wilson bobbles a ball hit by
Chicago's Kieth Moreland.
By The Associated Press
CHICAGO Glenn Wilson scored from third on Lee
Smith's ninth-inning wild pitch, and the Philadelphia
Phillies defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2 yesterday.
The loss was the fifth straight for the slumping Cubs,
who began the day six games behind the St. Louis
Cardinals in the National League East.
Wilson singled to right to open the ninth and, one out
later, stole second base. Greg Gross, who had singled in a
run as a pinch batter in the seventh, singled to left,
sending Wilson to third
Smith, 2-4, unloaded the wild pitch with pinch batter
Rick Schu at bat.
Kent Tekulve, 2-2, was the winner and Steve Bedrosian,
who pitched the ninth inning, picked up his 16th save.
Bedrosian set a National League record with his ninth
consecutive save in as many appearances. He had been
tied at eight with Clay Carroll of Cincinnati, Bruce Sutter
of St. Louis, Rich Gossage of San Diego and Dave Smith
of Houston.
The Phillies appeared to have taken a 3-2 lead in the
eighth. Reliever Frank DiPino hit Jeff Stone with a pitch
to open the inning. Smith relieved DiPino and gave up a
single to Juan Samuel. After Mike Schmidt struck out,
Von Hayes doubled into the left field corner, sending
home Stone and Samuel.
But Samuel failed to touch the plate and was called out
by umpire Greg Bonin when Cubs catcher Jody Davis
appealed. Lance Parrish then struck out to end the inning.
Pirates 3, Cardinals 1
ST. LOUIS Mike LaValliere and Andy Van Slyke hit
run-scoring doubles and Mike Dunne pitched a three
hitter to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 3-1 victory over
St. Louis last night, ending the Cardinals' four-game
winning streak.

In the fifth round, Spinks, 208 3 / 4 ,
hit the 238-pound Cooney with ev

Tyson was in the audience and he
had to be impressed with the 30-
year-old Spinks' performance. No
longer can anyone say that the
former undisputed light heavy
weight champion cannot hit like a

The 24-year-old Dunne, 2-1, making only his third
appearance, struck out four and walked seven for his first
major league complete game.
Van Slyke scored the game-winning run, breaking a 1-1
tie in the seventh inning with a two-out double off Greg
Mathews, 4-5.
Rafael Belliard had begun the inning with a single, and
moved to second on Dunne's sacrifice bunt before Van
Slyke's double.
HOUSTON Mike Scott struck out a career-high tying
14 and pitched a seven-hitter over eight-plus innings last
night, leading the Houston Astros over the Cincinnati
Reds 4-0.
Scott, who did not walk a batter, is tied with Seattle's
Mark Langston for the major-league lead with 116 strike
outs. Scott, 8-3, won his third straight decision and for the
fifth time in his last six starts.
The 1986 Cy Young Award winner struck out 14 on
Sept. 14, 1986, in a 3-2 loss against San Diego and repeated
the feat on Oct. 8 in Game 1 of the National League
playoffs, beating the New York Mets 1-0.
Dave Smith entered the game in the ninth after Bo Diaz
reached on an error by' Terry Puhl and stuck out three
batters.
• MONTREAL Dennis Martinez pitched a three-hitter
and outdueled New York's Dwight Gooden as the Montre
al Expos beat the Mets 4-0 last night.
Martinez, 1-0, struck out six and walked three in his
first complete game of the season. Martinez did not allow
a New York runner past second base.
Gooden, 2-1, gave up four runs on seven hits in seven
innings. It was his first loss since returning to the major
league two weeks ago after undergoing cocaine rehabili
tation. Gooden struck out seven and walked four.
Twins 5, Brewers 0
MILWAUKEE Bert Blyleven pitched a four-hitter for
his 55th career shutout and Randy Bush hit a three-run
homer last night as the Minnesota Twins beat the Milwau
kee Brewers 5-0.
The Twins have won nine of their last 10 games
Blyleven, 5-5, pitched his 29th
° shutout for the Twins,
extending his own team record. It marked the first time in
21 starts Blyleven had not allowed a home run.
Blyleven, who struck out six and walked two in his third
complete game of the season, ran his career record
against Milwaukee to 20-13.
Yankees 9, Orioles 2
NEW YORK Mike Pagliarulo drove home four runs
and Mike Easier went 4-for-5 as the New York Yankees
beat Baltimore 9-2 last night, giving the Orioles their 11th
loss in 12 games.
Pagliarulo hit a three-run double during a four-run
sixth inning that made it 9-2. He also had an RBI
groundout in the second. Easier, who drove in one run, is
7-for-14 since the Yankees acquired him last week in a
trade with Philadelphia.
Tigers 2, Blue Jays 1
TORONTO Alan Trammell's bizarre triple keyed a
two-run fourth inning and Walt Terrell combined with two
relievers on a five-hitter last night as the Detroit Tigers

It was the unbeaten Spinks' 31st
victory and 21st knockout. Cooney,
who also is 30, now is 28-2 with 24
knockouts.
From the outset, Spinks would

celebration.
And already, many are wondering if the Los Angeles Lakers can become the
first team to repeat as NBA champions since 1969.
The party actually began around 3 p.m. Sunday when the final buzzer
sounded at the Forum in nearby Inglewood. The capacity crowd counted off
the final seconds in unison, and then it was over the Lakers had beaten the
Boston Celtics 106-93 to earn their fourth NBA championship during the 1980 s.
Showtime moves downtown today when the city throws a celebration for
Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the rest of the champions.
A parade will be held beginning at 9th Street and Broadway at 11 a.m. and
ending on the steps of City Hall at noon. Mayor Tom Bradley and other
dignitaries will be among the speakers.
A rally will be held in the Forum's parking lot at 3 p.m.
As fans flocked onto the Forum floor to celebrate their team's title Sunday,
there was bedlam in other places as well
An international soccer Match was being held at the Los Angeles Coliseum,
some 10 miles from the Forum. Another five miles away, at Dodger Stadium,
the Los Angeles Dodgers were entertaining the Houston Astros.
Cheers rang out at both events, and they had nothing to do with soccer or
baseball. The final minutes of the basketball game were shown on a giant
screen at Dodger Stadium, and the fans roared their approval.
The Forum parking lot was ablaze in purple and gold, the team's colors
worn by jubilant fans, and the Herald Examiner blared "LAKERS!" in bold,
4-inch purple letters across its front page yesterday.
The headline in the Herald sports section read "MISSION: ACCOM
PLISHED." In the Los Angeles Times sports section, bannered across the top
of Page 1, was "Lakers' Fifth Title Is a Feat of Magic."
In the Orange County Register, it was "True to Forum, Lakers win title."
And in the Los Angeles Daily News, it was "Team of the 'Bos."
Among the 17,505 fans at the Forum were actress Whoopi Goldberg and, as
usual, actor Jack Nicholson, who shook hands with Abdul-Jabbar when it was
obvious the Lakers would win the championship.

celebrates title
"MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED." Next comes the
punches at a time and he never got
all of Spinks, although he did shake
him up in the fourth round and cut
him under the right eyebrow in the
second.
The second round was a good one
for Spinks. He staggered Cooney
with two good jabs to the head, and
again with a hook and left to the
head.
Both men landed some good
punches to the head in the third
round, but Spinks seemed to have
the advantage because he landed
several combinations while Coo
ney landed only a few punches at a
time.
In the fourth round, Cooney land
ed several good left jabs and some
hard left hooks and Spinks ap
peared to be slowing down.
Then came the fifth, when Spinks
went wild after Cooney missed that
big left hook. Spinks rocked Coo
ney with a hard overhand right,
then followed with a barrage of
punches, climaxed by another
right that put Cooney down.
The second knockdown also
came after another barrage and
was climaxed by another right to
the head.
It appeared as if Cooney might
last the round, especially when
Spinks backed off for a second. But
Spinks charged again and referee
Cappuccino stopped the fight as
Cooney's legs sagged.
Cooney was guaranteed r 52.5 mil
lion and he never earned harder
money in his life. Spinks was guar
anteed $4 million and his payday
against Tyson surely will be much
bigger.
Spinks won the IBF title with a
unanimous decision over Holmes
on Sept. 21, 1985, then defended it
on a split decision over Holmes on
April 19, 1986 and a fourth-round
knockout of Steffan Tangstad.
The IBF withdrew championship
recognition from Spinks for his
refusal to agree to a mandatory
defense against Tucker, who was
top ranked at the time.

Keeping up
with life's
essentials
Now that everyone has settled in
for a wonderful summer here in Hap
py Valley, it's time to start thinking
about the important things in life.
Critical issues such as how many
parties to go to, how many ball games
to attend, and how many burgers and
hot dogs to consume at all the picnics.
Surely you're not here just to study.
Summer wasn't made for that. Okay,
time to come back to reality I guess.
For many of us, life does indeed move
at a slower pace during the summer.
The sports world, however, continues
to roll right along. And that, of all
things, we must keep up with.

There were many important sport
ing events that occurred while every
one was working on his or her
gorgeous tan over break, and I think
it's essential to make sure we're all
up to date. With that in mind, here is a
brief recap of what went on in the
bustling world of professional sports.
First, let's take a look at the world
of b?seball.
• In the National League West,
there really haven't been many sur
prises. Cincinnati, San Francisco and
Houston are battling it out for the top
spot as expected. One interesting
item to note here is that each club has
a different strength. The Reds have
the hitting, the Astros the pitching,
and the Giants seem to have a fairly
even mix between the two. This is a
race that will definitely be decided
during the last weeks of the season.
Watch out for the Atlanta Braves,
though. Chuck Tanner's a class act,
and he's starting to turn the Braves'
fortunes around. If their pitching
holds up, they might very well be
lurking on the backburner come Sep
tember. The Dodgers are still a bit
young to contend, and San Diego
might as well hang it up 'til next year.
• Over in the NL East, it has been
the Whitey Herzog show, with special
guests Jack Clark, Vince Coleman,
and a pitching staff doing better than
it was supposed to. When starting ace
John Tudor went down with a broken
bone in his knee, the so-called experts
predicted the Cards to go down with
him. Instead, they are building on
their lead each week. Look for them
to stay on top. That's right Mets fans
no repeat this year. What a shame.
The Chicago Cubs have been the
biggest surprise in the National
League, mainly because of Andre
Dawson. I'm sure Buck Rodgers in
Montreal gets a case of the Canadian
blues every time he looks at a Cubs
box score. Dawson seems to have
inspired the entire Chicago team and
if he continues his pace and stays
healthy, he will be the league's MVP
come October.
Meanwhile, our beloved Pirates
and Phillies continue to support all of
the other teams on top of them. I was
really impressed when Pittsburgh
went on a five-game tear and was
actually two games above .500. But
the Pirates pitching, or their inability
to pitch, caught up with them. The
starters haven't done too badly, but
you can bet when Skipper Jim Ley
land spells relief, it isn't b-u-l-l-p-e-n.
e The American League East once
again has the best team in baseball,
the Toronto Blue Jays. They will win
the East going away, with maybe a
little pressure from the Yankees if
Rickey Henderson and Don Mattingly
rebound from their injuries.
After winning 13 in a row, and
getting off to a 20-3 start, the Milwau
kee Brewers looked like they would
be strong contenders for the division
crown. But it appears as though they
may have been just a flash in the pan.
They went on to lose 12 straight, and
I've never seen a team look so good,
and then bad in such a short period of
time. As streaky as they have been,
though, don't count them out of the
race just yet.

• As for the American League
West, it will be a six team race all
year. The Minnesota Twins have been
playing the most consistent ball over
the past few weeks and are my choice
to take that division. What happened
to California and Texas?
• The Stanley Cup finals between
the Edmonton Oilers and the Phila
delphia Flyers, which the Oilers won
four games to three, gave us some of
the best hockey I have ever seen. The
intensity and greatness of play by
both teams made it bearable to actu
ally watch hockey in the month of
May, where it doesn't belong.
Now, anytime I like anything stem
ming from Philadelphia, it is an occa
sion in itself (it probably happens as
often as we see Halley's Comet), but I
must give credit where it is due. Ron
