Virdon chooses starting pitchers United Press International HOUSTON — Manager Bill Virdon has selected veterans Joe Niekro, Don Sutton and Nolan Ryan to pitch the Houston Astros’ opening series at Los Angeles and to form the basis for his rotation this season. Vern Ruble and Bob Knepper will share duty as Virdon’s fourth starter, and Joaquin Andujar and rookie Bobby Sprowl are to be the Astros early-inning relievers, Vir don said from Sun City, Ariz. The defending National League West champions played exhibition games Monday and Tuesday in Arizona before travel ing Wednesday to Los Angeles in preparation for their Thursday afternoon opener. The initial pitching matchup features the Dodgers Jerry Reuss vs. the knuckleballing Niekro, who has never before started a season opener despite a 136-120 lifetime record and 41 wins the past two seasons. “Lthink I’m a more confident pitcher now than ever,” Niekro said, “and maybe that comes with gaining a little respect around the league.” He added that in each of his last two spring performances he felt strong enough to pitch nine in nings. Disabled pitcher J.R. Richard has been the Astros opening day starter for the past five years, and he will accompany the Astros to Los Angeles. He continues to re habilitate from a July 30 stroke. An off-day Friday gives Sutton, a Dodger for 15 seasons, a Satur day assignment against his ex teammates. The Astros signed Sutton after last season as a free agent. Ryan will pitch Sunday. The Astros first three starters have 44 Major League seasons be tween them. Niekro is 36 years old, Sutton is 36 and Ryan is 34. Ruble, 30, was the mainstay of Houston’s division-title drive last September in the absence of Richard, and he will start the Astros home opener Monday against Atlanta. Leonard, Hearns schedule fall boutl United Press International NEW YORK — World Boxing Council champion Sugar Ray Leonard and World Boxing Asso ciation title holder Thomas Hearns have signed for a welter weight championship showdown this fall that could be the richest fight in boxing history. Leonard, 29-1, and Hearns, 30- 0 with 28 knockouts, will battle for the unified title in late September or early October. No site has been set but the leading cities under consideration are Houston, New Orleans and Las Vegas. Leonard will receive a guaran teed purse of $10 million plus a share of the ancillary rights. Hearns will get $5 million plus a percentage of the rights. The fight quite easily could surpass the re cord $30 million gross set last November when Leonard re gained his title against Roberto Duran in New Orleans. Mike Trainer, Leonard’s attor ney, and Emanuel Steward, who handles Hearns’ business matters, met last week in Syracuse to nail down the negotiations. The fight will be promoted by a new group called “Championship Events.” The group includes rock promoter Shelly Finkel, who has put on concerts for noted stars such as Billy Joel and Olivia Newton- John, and Dan Duva, who runs a successful fight program in Toto- wa, N.J. Trainer and Steward met with Finkel last Friday morning at the Syracuse Airport to finalize the deal. Hearns, who had previously demanded the same amount of money as Leonard, finally signed on Thursday and Leonard agreed the following day. Leonard is scheduled to fight unbeaten champion Ayub Kalule, a Ugandan now fighting out of De nmark, for the WBA junior mid dleweight championship in June. Kalule is 36-0. Hearns will defend his title on April 25 against Randy Shields in Phoenix.
