Pac 2 THE BATTALION MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1981 ports Fighters prepare for richest bout United Press International LAS VEGAS — The grueling workouts have ended for Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns and the two fighters have sought privacy to make mental preparatons for Wednesday night’s welterweight uni- ficaton battle. Hearns, the unbeaten World Boxing Association champion who has stopped 30-of-32 opponents, didn’t work out at all Sunday. He sparred five brisk rounds Saturday with Dujum Johnson, the top-ranked junior welterweight contendar in the world, hurting him with crunching combinatons. Leonard, the WBC champion with a 31-1 record, worked lightly on the speed bag and jumped rope Sunday. With three days left before the fight — the richest in the history of boxing with Leonard guaranteed $8 million and Hearns guaranteed $5 million — things could get boring around the camps at Caesars Palace. But they won’t, not as long as Angelo Dundee and Emanuel Steward are around. “Janks (trainer Janks Morton) and I have the best fighter,” Dundee, Leonard’s manager said at Sunday’s news conference. “People haven’t seen how good Sugar Ray Leonard can be. When the bell rings, people will see how great a fighter Sugar Ray Leonard is. What he’s going to ' do to Thomas Hearns is a shame. When Ray knocks out Thomas in the ' ninth or 10th round, I’ll be the first to console Emanuel Steward. O S' fTm wm r.

However, Martinez played a major role in this weekend’s Texas A&M Invitational tournament, pitching the Aggies to three of their five wins in the two-day event and defeating Sam Houston State University 1-0 Saturday night to give Texas A&M the championship. She has overcome nervousness, pressure and low- scoring games to pick up four vic tories during the first week of the Aggies’ 1981-82 season. Texas A&M’s record stands at 7-1 after last week’s 11-0, 2-1 dou ble-header sweep of Baylor in Waco, and the Aggies’ five victor ies in the tourney. The Aggies began the tourna ment Friday afternoon by losing 2-0 to the U niversity of Texas at Arlington, but they rebounded to defeat Baylor 7-3 Friday night, with Martinez pitching a three- hitter and striking out 15. The Aggies didn’t allow the first-game loss to UTA to dampen their spirits, as they won all four of their games Saturday. McDonald won the first game 1-0 over Texas Tech, giving up four hits and pitching a complete game. In Texas A&M’s second game Saturday, Martinez pitched a no hitter against St. Mary’s Universi ty, striking out 12 on her way to the victory. McDonald followed with a 8-0 defeat of Texas Wes- layan College, raising her record to 3-1. Again, McDonald proved to be nearly untouchable as she gave up only three hits in seven innings. While the Aggies relied on their pitching in their victories, SHSU used superior hitting to sweep un defeated through its first five tour ney games, including a 5-0 victory over St. Mary’s, a 7-0 win over Texas Tech and a 9-2 win over TWC. 1R ay \ fonsi vhile W MANOR EAST 3 Manor East Mall WELCOME BACK AGGIES.

The tension of the 14-inning championship game would’ve been enough to send any pitcher to an early shower, but her per formances during the first week of the season showed that Martinez remains calm in pressure-filled situations. fYll DOLBY STEREOT “I’m just happy to be playing.
