Fernando Valenzuela will be pitching for
Dodgers after all — but he doesn’t nave
like it.
Valenzuela, last year’s NL Cy Young
,'ard-winner and Rookie of the Year,
nounced Monday that he will report to
Los Angeles Dodgers’ spring training
p but will not sign a contract.
The left-handed Mexican screwball spe-
list, who previously refused to report to
p, appeared at a hastily arranged news
erence.
He said he will report to the Dodgers’
ro Beach, Fla., camp today to begin work
out, saying he felt an obligation to his
mmates and his family. But he said he
n’t sign the Dodgers’ contract.
In exhibition play Monday:
At Palm Springs, Calif., Gaylord Perry,
, who signed with Seattle earlier this
nth in hopes of getting the three victories
needs to reach 300, gave up just two hits
five innings to lead the Mariners to a 4-1
victory over the California Angels.
At Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Andre Dawson,
Gary Carter and Warren Cromartie drove
in two runs apiece to lead the Expos to a 6-1
victory over the New York Yankees.
At Dunedin, Fla., the Detroit Tigers
scored six runs in the ninth inning en route
to a 9-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays
in a split-squad game.
At Winter Haven, Fla., Tony Bernazard
hit a three-run homer in the second inning
and Harold Baines added a solo homer in
the sixth to help the Chicago White Sox to
an 8-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox,
losers of six straight.
At West Palm Beach, Fla., Bump Wills
singled home Lamar Johnson in the eighth
inning to break a 1-1 tie and Frank Tanana
and Mark Mercer combined on a seven-
hitter to help the Texas Rangers to a 3-1
victory over the Atlanta Braves.
At St. Petersburg, Fla., Steve Mura be
came the first St. Louis pitcher to work six
innings this spring in the Cardinals’ 7-3 vic
tory over the Cincinnati Reds.
At Orlando, Fla., home runs by rookie
infielders Gary Gaetti and Ivan Mesa po
wered the Minnesota Twins past the Los
Angeles Dodgers, 6-4.
At Clearwater, Fla., Willie Aikens hit a
grand slam and drove in five runs to lead the
Kansas City Royals to an 8-2 victory over the
Philadelphia Phillies.
At Bradenton, Fla., Willie Upshaw, Barry
Bonnell and Garth lorg had run-scoring
singles in the third inning, leading the
Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-0 victory over the
Pittsburgh Pirates in a split-squad game.
At Mesa, Ariz., Cleveland pitcher Tom
Brennan helped himself to an 8-6 victory
over the Chicago Cubs with a bases-loaded
sixth-inning single that brought in three
runs.
In other news, at Scottsdale, Ariz., San
Francisco Giants reserve catcher Bob Brenly
suffered a broken collarbone in an intras
quad game. He will be out six to eight weeks.

ITTSBURGH (UPI) — A
urban Elizabeth Township
Bin has reached a $27,500 out-
Bcourt settlement in a damage
he filed against the New
rk Rangers hockey team and
[eg Polis, one of its former
yers.
I David Brown, 23, claimed he
came epileptic after a Ranger,
bntified as Polls, clubbed him
on the head wdth a hockey stick
following a game with the Pitt
sburgh Penguins at the Civic
Arena in 1978.
Brown admitted he and other
fans sitting at ringside for the
game jeered Polis and Ranger
Phil Esposito during the game;
at one point the entire section
was yelling “Porky Pig” at the
players.
Brown said he began walking
away from his seat after the
game, but spotted two or three
Rangers heading his way.
“They all had their sticks up
and were swearing all kinds of
names,” Brown said. “And I
heard one of them say, ‘Get that
(guy) over there.’”
Brown said he was struck
from behind and didn’t see who
it was, but a witness told him it
was Polis.
Brown said he suffered
nausea, lost consciousness and
endured an epileptic seizure af
ter the attack. His attorney, Pe
ter King, said Brown still takes
anti-seizure medicine.
A trial on the suit began Fri
day in Allegheny County Com
mon Pleas Court, but the settle
ment was reached Monday.
Polis, a former Penguin who has
since retired from hockey, did
not testify.

HOUSTON — The surpris
ing late-season rise of the un
ranked Houston Cougars into
the NCAA Tournament’s Final
Four has caused Coach Guy
Lewis to be transported back in
time.
Just like in the “good old
days”, Lewis’ current team re
ceived a boisterous airport wel
come after it beat Boston Col
lege 99-92 Sunday to win the
NCAA Midwest Regional.
“It reminded me of the days
when we had Elvin (Hayes) and
his crowd,” Lewis said Monday.
“Back then, people met us at the
airport all the time.”
Somewhat painfully, howev
er, the 60-year-old Lewis re
members that his two previous
Cougars teams that made it to
the Final Four were beaten by
the UCLA Bruins and all-
America center Lew Alcindor in
the tournament semifinal
round.
“Lew Alcindor cost me two
national championships,” Lewis
said.
Had it not been for Alcindor
— who changed his name to
Kareem Abdul Jabaar — Hous
ton would have won the tourna
ment in 1967 and 1968, Lewis
said.
Jabbar now plays for the NBA
Los Angeles Lakers while Hayes
plays for the Houston Rockets.
There’s no opponent like Jab
bar on the horizon for the
Cougars, 25-7, this time around.
But at mention of Houston’s
next opponent, the No. 1-
ranked North Carolina Tar
Heels, Lewis paid his respects.
“I really don’t know that
much about them,” he said. “I
know they have great players.
They have great tradition. They
have a great coach. They’ve
been No. 1 most of the year.
What more can you say?”
