Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda, in his first All-Star game managing assignment, played Gar vey all the way in Tuesday night’s game, although Garvey was still wearing a heavy bandage over his chin. “I don’t hit with my chin,’ Gar vey smiled. “We thought,” said Lasorda, “Steve would go nine innings and we’d use Willie Stargell for a key situation. ’’ New York Yankees $2.7 million relief ace Rich Gossage faced Gar vey to lead off the eighth and the right-hand hitting Garvey delivered a towering opposite field fly that ap peared to be headed out of cavern ous San Diego Stadium. But the ball hit high on die right field fence and Garvey setled for a triple. "I thought that ball was going out, ” remarked Garvey. “But against Gossage, anytime you hit the ball hard like that, you’ve got to be satisfied. He’s just a tremendous pitcher.’’ The National League broke a 3-3 deadlock one pitch after Garvey’s triple when Gossage threw a wild pitch and Garvey crossed the plate standing up. After a walk to Dave Concepcion, Dave Winfield lined a single that was kicked by left fielder Chet Lemon. With runners on sec ond and third, Bob Boone delivered a two-run single. After a groundout, Davey Lopes hit a run-scoring single and the American League was thoroughly beaten again. “Each award is special,” Garvey said when asked about his two MVP trophies. “In 1974, I was the first write-in starter in the history of the All-Star game and I had the mumps five days before the game. Tonight it was special because I helped us come from behind.” Garvey has hit safely in all five of his All-Star appearances and he was arew may move soon ind ( Mot of In IS of By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International N DIEGO — All-Star games nothing new for Rod Garew. night s was his 12th and, natur- ■ every one of them has been 'the [American League. e way he hits, he’s already a bet|to play in his 13th All-Star ■ a year from now, except that en hr very likely will be on the mal [League squad. matters stand, he and Min- ^a Twins’ owner Calvin Griffith o nearer a solution to their con- ,ual stalemate than they were months ago, when they were so part khere was little or no use ither one to speak to the other t it. ffh time running out and Garew ig publicly announced he hi ed leav ing the Twins at the end xt season, which will be his op- year, Griffith tried to make a : for him with an American me club last month but was un- tto get enough for his six-time ig champion. Garew was taken off the mar- ind be will finish the season with Minnesota. But as soon as the World Series is over and the next inter-league trading period opens up, Griffith will make the best deal he can w ith a National League club. The chief reason the Twins’ owner will go outside his own league is because he 11 probably be able to get more for Garew that way. Another reason is because in that way his 32-year-old first baseman can’t readily come back to haunt him. The Cincinnati Reds took pretty much the same course when they traded their MY r P Frank Robinson to the Baltimore Orioles, with whom Robinson promptly turned around and won himself another MVP award. In the interest of harmony for the next three months, Griffith and Garew have agreed not to discuss their problem in public and that’s why whenever anyone asks Griffith whether there’s any chance he still might sign Garew, he says he has no comment. “He and I have an understand ing, Griffith said. “Neither of us will talk about it until the season is Conference shorts \nni United Press International N ANGELO — Houston Oil- ■itoach Bum Phillips says former /•—ersily of Texas running back ^ Campbell is becoming II jcity-conscious.

Tuesi n anlrrijE ROCK — The NCAA it\ hiven the University of Arkansas (1 Br v “Flowers for All Occasions” Petal Patch more than $240,000, plus expenses, for being one of the final four teams in the basketball championships at St. Louis this year. Tl le other three finalists — Ken tucky, Notre Dame and Duke — re ceived the same amount. Overall, the NCAA said it distributed more than $3 million to the 32 teams in the tournament. The Razorbacks lost to No. 1 Ken tucky in a semifinal game and de feated Notre Dame in the final con solation game to finish third in the nation. On his way to a seventh batting title with a .349 average that leads both leagues, Garew realizes there’s hardly any chance of his remaining with the Twins. When I asked him if he saw even the slightest possibility the stale mate might be settled, he shook his head and said, “I don’t see how.” That answer evoked the next rather obvious question. Since he has the necessary time in to veto any deal he doesn’t like, does Garew have any particular preference to which National League club he wishes to be dealt? “I don’t care if it’s in Japan, as long as it’s a winning team,” he an swered. "People can say you’re a great player, but if you don't play on a winning team, it’s no fun,” con tinued Garew, who has never been in a World Series. “Billy Williams is a good example of that. He was a great player but in all the years he played with the Cubs he never was with a winner. When you win, it’s fun; when you don’t, it’s depressing. “They said I was asking for an out rageous salary. But I don’t think it’s outrageous. And besides, it isn’t the money. “I don’t want to be the richest man in the world. I simply want to be compensated for the things I do, the things on and off the field. Yet, that isn’t the uppermost thing in my mind. When you play for a club and it doesn’t win, it’s hard to be there and not get results. So Garew merely goes about his work and says nothing about what he has a pretty good idea will hap pen this fall. “What I do now is shut up, he said, with a small smile. “Some times that’s the best way.” LADIES SHOES SHORT DRESSES mmm stro? ; ins ii aller n 'i onsw 'tlr.

You can see it on our bench tonight. I’m prejudiced, too; I feel the National League has the best 24 or 25 players.” Lasorda is known for his hugging, rah-rah style and he didn’t let the occasion pass without talking about team spirit once again. “I ve never seen such enthusiasm from such outstanding ball players,” he said. Bruce Sutter of the Chicago Cubs pitched 1 2-3 innings of hitless relief to get credit for the win in his first All-Star appearance. United Press International THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Kicker Efren Herrera, whose 93 points placed him third in the NFL last season, has not reached contract terms with the Dallas Cowboys and says he is upset by their offers. “You can’t imagine how hurt I am by the offer they have made to me,” Herrera said Monday. “I think I ve proven myself. I ve been the difference in a lot of games for Dallas. I just have to wonder why they’re doing it. Is it because I talk funny? “I want to play for the Cow boys, but I want them to be fair. There are third-year kickers in the NFL getting twice, three times more money than I am. And, believe me. I’m not asking for any million dollar deal. What I’m asking for is realistic. And that’s what really upsets me. “Harvey (Martin) goes in to negotiate his contract, presents them with a realistic figure and they say ‘fine. Cliff Harris does the same. No problem. Then they hear what I feel like I should have and say ‘Who does this guy think- he is? What they have done, essentially, is come back with a counter offer and told me I can take it or leave it, period. ” As a result, Herrera said he was undecided about his future. “I have worked hard during the off seasons to prepare myself for doing other things than play ing football, said Herrera who will be 27 this month. “They (the Cowboys) seem to think 1 need to play to keep food on the table. Still, I’m hoping we can come to terms. ” Herrera’s options include re tirement, accepting the Cow boys’ offer or playing out his op tion. Gil Brandt, director of player personnel for Dallas, said the Cowboys provided a written offer and said he was sorry to hear Herrera was upset. Herrera’s agent said the Dallas offer was for a lower salary than most top NFL kickers. “What they have offered him to date is a disgrace,” said agent Bucky Woy. The Cowboys recently signed kicker Ove Johansson, 30, a former Philadelphia Eagle who also is represented by Woy. Woy said the Cowboys were using Johannson as a pawn in neogitations with Herrera. y AGGIES DEPEND ON LOU . . . and Lou depends on Aggies to sell him, their used books now, so he could sell them back to other Ag gies at the lowest possible prices this fall.
