Boston’s other two runs came in the sixth off starter Gaylord Perry on singles by Dave Stapleton and Lynn and a double by Tony Perez. The Rangers took a 2-0 lead in the fourth off Torrez when Bell reached on an infield hit and came around on Staub’s fourth homer. Staub drove in Texas’ third run in the sixth with a fielder’s choice. Boston outfielder Jim Dwyer was beaned by a Perry pitch in the seventh and taken to New England Baptist Hospital for x-rays. He was reported conscious and alert by team doctors.

President Tal Smith said the tests would be a “detailed diagnostic study.” Since Richard started com plaining of a tired pitching arm early in the season, no cause has been found by team doctors for any phy sical problem. Team physician Dr. Harold Brels- ford said Richard, the National League’s All-star starter earlier this month, had suffered “an emotional” problem. The hospital visit of an undisclosed length was scheduled when Richard was placed on the 21-day disabled list July 16. He had requested such a leave of absence but team officials had resisted his request because no physical ailment could be found. Richard, 30, was allowed to return to his Ruston, La., home late last week to be with his wife and five children and Brelsford said he would return this morning. WE’RE WORTH THE EFFORT!

The victory enabled the Astros to stretch their lead in the National League West Division to 2Vi games over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Left-hander Ed Glynn, 3-3, walked Craig Reynolds to open the sixth and Leonard, batting for win ning pitcher Bert Roberge, hit an 0-1 pitch above the 406-foot sign in cen ter field for his third home run. Terry Puhl and Danny Heep followed with singles before Cruz got the game winning hit. Roberge wild pitched the Mets’ fifth run across the plate in the fourth Angry Turner loses to Conne United Press International NEWPORT, R.I. — Ted Turner couldn’t have been more disgusted. He was trailing Dennis Conner’s Freedom again in a third race Mon day when a crewman noticed a slen der crack in Courageous’ boom. It was Turner’s first day against Conner in the second round of America’s Cup trials and he had dropped the chance to prove he could overtake the San Diego sailor, who has become the front-runner among the three candidates to de fend yachting’s most prized trophy. Turner, the 1977 Cup defender, radioed the New York Yacht Club’s race committee and asked that the race be abandoned; it was 10 minutes after the start. “We figured if we sailed any lon ger it would get worse,” a disgusted Turner said at dockside. The boom, already repaired once, would be fixed again, Turner said. It was Turner’s second day of equipment foul-ups. He blamed a loss to Russell Long’s Clipper Sunday on a jammed halyard. Monday’s defeats forced Turner to admit again a year’s worth of practice had made Conner a tough com petitor. “We’ve got a 6-year-old boat and we’ve been working out about 90 days and they’re (Conner and crew) just a little sharper at this point in every category.” inning but allowed only onelii!j|^ H “ Hdladelpl innings to earn his first victor Houston Astr season in his second appei:® 0l ^ n 8 on n Dave Smith earned his fourtlB** 011 ' by protecting a one-run IdFi e y e i r T U ^ ^ five innings.
