T^iawsuit toward baseball players
Rose collects no. 3,631
to break MusiaVs record
SAN ANTONIO — Boston Cel-
tics’ players Larry Bird and David
Cowens, claiming it is unsafe to fly
during the air traffic controllers
strike, have won a delay for an
appearance in a Texas court on a
$1.3 million lawsuit.
District Judge John Yates
granted a postponement Monday
to the players, who were expected
to appear for trial on a civil lawsuit
filed by a San Antonio Spurs’ fan.
“(There is) an increased risk of
harm or injury through mishap or
accident,” the players’ attorney
said. “(It is) unreasonable for the
court to require to the defendants
to travel to San Antonio by air,
which is the only reasonable
means of transport.”
Yates granted the postpone
ment, resetting the trial for Sept.
14.
Truck driver Johnny Merla
filed the lawsuit against Cowens,
Bird and the Celtics, alleging he
was assaulted by the two players
after a January 1980 game be
tween Boston and San Antonio.
Merla has said he was seeking
an autograph from the men when
Cowens knocked him down with a
tote bag.

PHILADELPHIA — There’s no question an all-
night drive from Cleveland to Philadelphia is a
strength-sapper, even if you’re driving a $175,000
Rolls Royce like Pete Rose does.
Rose rolled into Philadelphia just before 10 a. m.
Monday, less than 11 hours before he was to step into
the batter’s box to try to break Stan Musial’s National
League record for base hits after two strike-induced
months of being tied with Musial at 3,630.
And although the Philadelphia Phillies’ first base-
man insisted before the game he was “healthy, fine,
as strong as an ox,” the 8Vi-hour drive made the bat
feel like lead. Rose was 0-for-3 before coming up to
face St. Louis Cardinals’ reliever Mark Littell in the
eighth.
But he switched from a 33 ounce bat to one of 32Vi
ounces, and it paid off. He stroked an 0-1 fastball on
th ground between third and short and into left field
for hit No. 3,631, topping the ex-Cardinal’s mark as a
Veterans Stadium crowd of60,561 went wild, chant
ing “Pete! Pete! Pete!”
“I hate to admit it but I was dragging the bat a little
bit,” Rose said after the festivities, which were cap
ped by a congratulatory phone call from President
Reagan. “I didn’t have that good pop. I wasn’t attack
ing the pitch. But that extra half-ounce made a big
difference.
“I was happy to get the base hit. I hope it made a
lot of people happy. I didn’t feel any pressure. Now
we have to get back to winning games and winning
the second half.”
Musial, who compiled his record over 22 years
with the Cardinals and is now a senior vice president
with the team, joined the on-field celebration, which
also included fireworks and the release of 3,31 bal
loons.
In becoming the answer to a trivia question, Littell
said he felt Rose hit a good pitch.
“Of course, he’s a great hitter,” he said. “I gave it
my best shot. It’s hard to strike him out. It seemed
like he inside-outed the ball. I think that’s the first hit
he’s ever gotten off me. Tonight was more of a chal
lenge.”
Rose had tied Musial’s record June 10 against
Houston’s Nolan Ryan but then struck out in three
later plate appearances against the Astros’ ace. He
finally broke the mark after seven tries, which were
stretched out over two months because of the play
ers’ strike.

Most baseball fans around the
country gleefully embraced their
summer pastime but some —
although very few — were still a
bit standoffish.
“I sent in my unused tickets to
get credit for next season’s
games,” said one of the 52,608 fans
who attended the Padres-Braves
game free of charge in San Diego.
“I’d like to see this split season
every year but I don’t want to see
any more two-month All-Star
breaks.”
“I plan on attending a lot of the
games even though it won’t be
free like tonight,” said another fan
at the Padres game. “I still think
baseball is the best bargain. Sure,
I’m a Charger fan but I’d rather
watch them on TV then have to
pay $20 to get a halfway decent
seat. ”
To Jeff Dalin of Montreal, hav
ing baseball back after the 50-day
strike was like being reunited with
a summer sweetheart.
“I’m glad to have baseball
back,” said Dalin, one of 37,275
fans at the Expos-Pirates game. It
was a lonely 50 days but just
seeing one inning of baseball
makes you forget about every
thing.”
Another Expos fan said there
was nothing like baseball.
“I followed soccer and football
during the strike but there’s no
substitute for baseball,” said
Chuck Cohen. “I’m glad it’s back
and as far as I can see, so do all the
Montreal fans.”
But some were not willing to let
bygones be bygones.

game at Fenway Park in Boston,

LOS ANGELES — Former
banker L. Ben Lewis has emerged
from six months of hiding and
pleaded guilty to charges he
helped in the $21 million Wells
Fargo embezzlement scheme, be
lieved to be the largest fraud in
U.S. banking history.
As part of a plea-bargain
arrangement, Lewis agreed to
appear as the prosecution’s star
witness against boxing promoter
Ross Fields, better known as
Harold J. Smith, and another one
time Wells Fargo officer, Sammie
Marshall.
Lewis, Fields and Marshall
were indicted by a federal grand
jury last month for allegedly en
gineering the embezzlement
scheme.
“It was not my intention to do
anything wrong,” Lewis told re
porters following his appearance
before U.S. District Court Judge
Consuelo B. Marshall. “I was just
helping friends. That’s how it
started, but it got out of hand. ”
Fields, who as Smith was chair
man of Muhammad Ali Profes
sional Sports, and Marshall, who
left Wells Fargo to become presi
dent of MAPS, pleaded innocent
to 11 of 32 counts in the indictment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Dean
Allison said Lewis received about
$300,000 of the missing money
and Fields “received virtually all
of the remaining $21 million.”
Lewis, former operations offic
er at Wells Fargo’s Beverly Hills
branch, disappeared from public
view after the scandal surfaced last
January. He said he has been
cooperating with authorities since
February.

eted the advance ticket office, car
rying placards that left no doubt
about their feelings.
The signs read: “No More
Greed,” “Hell No, We Won t
Go,” “Fans Strike Back,” “Strike
Three, Baseball is Out.
And the fans themselves were
no less forgiving.
“They just can’t start up again
with no regard for the fans and
expect them to show up,” said
Curt Smalzel, who runs a lobster
business at Boston’s Logan Air
port.
“I’d like to see the park not as
full as it should be for the next few
games, just to make a point the
fans can’t be expected to conic
back just like that. We were fans
without baseball and now there’s
baseball without fans. They just
forgot about us for seven weeks,
added Smalzel, who turned in his
season tickets and urged others to
do likewise.
