A hearing before Judge Henry F. Werker was scheduled at 10 a.m., EDT today on a National Labor Relations Board petition for a preliminary injunction which could put on hold baseball s free- agency issue and a strike by ball players. If Werker rejects the injunc tion, the players can call a strike between 24 and 48 hours after his decision. If the preliminary injunction is granted by Werker, it would delay for one year the provision of the basic agreement regarding the owners’ implementation of their free-agent compensation proposal and the players right to strike over that proposal. Werker, who is expected to hand down a decision within 48 hours of the end of the hearing, has said the hearing could last sev eral days. Meanwhile, federal mediator Kenneth Moffett has said he also would try to get representatives of the Players Association* major league owners’PU tions Cominmittee I negotiating session i They have been meetingj] York, with virtually nop during the past fewi Astros nip Padres, 2-1 United Press International SAN DIEGO — Never give up. It’s been said 10 million times, but no one ever made it harder to understand than Yogi Berra. “It ain’t over til it’s over,” the legendary New York Yankees catcher once proclaimed. Well, the San Diego Padres found out Tuesday night that while Berra’s English is some where between baby talk and sign language, his famous line holds a lot of truth. Held to only one hit over the first eight innings by rookie Chris Welsh, the Houston Astros scored two runs in the ninth inning and defeated the Padres, 2-1, on a run scoring triple by Craig Reynolds. “I had the opportunity to close the door,” said a despondent Welch. “With the opportunity to win, I just didn t rise to the occa sion. It’s a game of highs and lows. I was high in the ninth inning but now I’m low. ’’ The Astros had managed only a fourth inning single by Terry Puhl until Luis Pujols opened the ninth with a single off the third base bag, moved to second on a sacrifice and scored the tying run on a two-out single by Puhl. Reynolds followed with his National League-leading eighth triple to make a winner of reliever Frank LaCorte, 3-1, and tag Welsh with his fourth loss in six decisions. Joe Sambito pitched the ninth to record his sixth save. “There are 27 outs in this game,” Welch said, “and just be cause you get 26 of them easily it doesn’t mean you’re going to get the 27th.” San Diego took a 1-0 lead in the first inning off starter Bob Knep- per on a walk to Juan Bonilla and a double by Luis Salazar, his seventh consecutive hit over a three-game stretch. “It was a heartbreaker, really,” said San Diego manager Frank Howard. “We got a great pitched game but we kind of ran ourselves out of it in one inning. We had a chance to score a few runs early and put it on ice for our man (Welch). He deserved a better fate. Houston hit when they had to hit and they hit off a guy who pitched a helluva ballgame.” Puhl said Welch’s strong eight innings might have been a com bination of his talent and the Astros weak hitting. “Welch was awesome, or at least we made him look awe some,” Puhl said. “We can make some pitchers look that way. In the ninth I was just trying to see the ball. I wasn’t looking for any thing special since he has so many different pitches. He had a very good slider and he kept us off ba lance all night. “On the winning hit, I think he was trying to get it away from me. That’s where he had the most suc cess with me all night.” Rangers take Twins, 5-3 United Press International BLOOMINGTON — The bat of Texas Rangers utility infielder Bill Stein saw its 18-game hitting streak end, but it still played an integral role in the Rangers’ 5-3 win over the Minnesota Twins. Stein, with 25 hits in 49 at-bats entering the game Tuesday night, went 0-for-4 against Twins left-hander Jerry Koosman. But it was 1- for-1 against catcher Butch Wynegar’s pickoff throws. Wynegar’s attempt to catch Jim Sundberg off third base in the second inning met Stein’s unwitting bat and rolled to the backstop, allowing Sundberg to score. That gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead. “I didn’t try to do it; I didn’t even see it, ” Stein said. “The only thing I know is that something hit my bat, then my bat hit my helmet. Everybody thought I should get an RBI for it. ” “He’s in the midst of something, isn’t he?” said Texas Manager Don Zimmer. “I don’t think I ever saw anything like that before. John Ellis hit a home run in the fourth inning to put the Rangers up 3-1, but the Twins tied it in the fifth against Rangers starter Danny Darwin, 6-4. After Danny Goodwin walked, Pete Mackanin hit a triple and Hosken Powell scored Mackanin on a sacrifice fly. Texas added two runs in the eighth after Koosman intentionally walked Stein with two out and Mark Wagner on third base. Al Oliver singled up'the middle to drive in Wagner and Buddy Bell’s single brought home Stein. “It was just the best percentage to pitch around the right-hander and pitch to the left-hander,” Koosman said. “In the situation we had tonight, I was having good luck against Oliver. And the way it worked out, we got a slow groundball up the middle that would have gotten us out of the inning if we had cut it off. ” “I got behind too many hitters tonight,” said Koosman, 3-7. “I wasn’t getting to throw my pitch and that’s dangerous with as many hitters as they have.” BUY. 30.1.. TRADE OW WENT THROUGH THE I THE CURE She had no money. There was some, but it was spent now. Gone. Mostly to doctors. She was not the kind of person who wasted her money, but twelve years of consulting physicians had taken its toll. She went to all of them that she could, looking for hope; and all the time her life persis tently ebbed, draining away just like her life savings. None of the doctors had been able to cure her hemorrhage, but they did take her money. And her life kept bleeding away (Mark 5:25-26). A man was going through town at that time, a man that she had heard much about. Some called him a teacher (He did teach some things); others called him a prophet (He did a lot of prophesy ing); and there were some who said he was of the devil and who tried to kill him (they were mainly the religious leaders of the times). She didn’t want teachings from anybody; philosophy and philosophers were useless to her; and religion had been of no help either. Nonetheless, an unusual kind of hope rose up within her when she heard that he was passing through town. Hope was something that had become foreign. A dozen years, empty promises, and wasted earn ings had done this. It was a kind of unnatural cynicism — cynicism based upon dead-end expe riences. What could this man offer? Who should I believe concerning him? And who needs another religion, anyway? But the hope was there. It wasn’t based upon empty claims; it wasn’t based upon rhetoric; it was just there. In Him. In His Person. “If only,” she thought, “if I only touch his garments, then I shall get well” (Mark 5:28). She did it. There were a lot of people around him, and it was hard to get through, but she did it. She ignored the religious ones, and paid no attention to the stub born ones who refused to believe; she touched him — and she was healed (Mark 5:27-31). There are many of us that were like this wo man: we were dying. We didn’t know that that was what it was, but every day the life kept draining away. We did everything we could think of to rid ourselves of that growing spectre of emptiness and waste that haunted our thoughts and inward searchings. “We’re young!” we cried. But that made it worse; it seemed to be more of a crime to waste our youth than anything else. So we went to the “physicians” (there are many of them these days) and they all told us “It’s normal” and prescribed a stupendous array of drugs to ease the pain. Parties. Television. Girlfriends/Boyfriends. Degrees. The Future. Religion. All of them were to divert our attention from the problem, and some of them worked better than others. But they all wore off. Then one day a man. came by and hope sur faced within our being. Hope? We scoffed; we argued; we buried that hope, only to have it resurface in an even more definite way. Final ly, we couldn’t stand it any longer — we broke through the crowd and touched this Person. Jesus! We touched Him! He is a real, living, wonderful Person! Life was no longer draining away, it started flowing in. We had no idea life could be so full, so purposeful, and so enjoyable. Through His crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus has made Himself available to you. He is here and you can touch Him. As you turn your heart to Him and ask Him to come in. He will be real to you. “Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21); “for with the heart man believes, resulting in right eousness, and with the mouth he confesses, re sulting in salvation” (Romans 10:10). , 74 No. The NLRB has filedac unfair labor practicesaE;^' club owners, accusing tie; 4|P39 es fusing to bargain in good!#! ■ — HOWDY AOS! — WELCOME BACK fAl/S/C EX£B&5 -tO'Vx'.'l '< ^V*‘ STORE-WIDE RECORD SALE!
