Capitals’ owner gives plans
eep’s misplay enables
iubs to top Astros, 5-3
United Press International
CHICAGO — Bobby Moli-
Iro says he thrives on pressure
is a much more effective
:h-hitter when there are run-
Irs on base and the game is on
| line.
IMolinaro lived up to his claim
Lesday afternoon, delivering a
ree-run, two-out, bases-
ided double in the eighth in-
ig to rally the Chicago Cubs to
3-3 victory over the Houston
;tros.
The win was the Cubs’ ninth
ainst only two losses vs. Hous-
n this season. Another pinch-
tter, Jerry Morales, popped
game-winning hit for the
ibs in the bottom of the 10th
th two out in Monday’s game.
Molinaro’s double greeted
lliever Randy Moffitt, who had
me in after Don Sutton, 9-6,
liked the bases loaded in the
jhth. The hit went over the
:ad of right fielder Danny
pp, who had taken a step in
hen the ball was first hit.
“1 guess 1 just hit better with a
Inner on second at least,” Moli-
tro said. “1 think I’m some-
ling like five for 10 as a pinch-
itter with runners on base.”
[Moffitt fell behind Molinaro
Don Sutton
2-0 when he threw a fastball that
the left-handed hitting veteran
pulled to right field.
“I saw Heep take a step in but
I saw it start to rise,” Molinaro
explained. “With the wind blow
ing in like that, your initial reac
tion is to come in on the ball.”
Heep said the ball took off on
him.
“I anticipated it right but I
found myself too far in,” Heep
explained. “I knew it was hit
good. I thought it was going to
sink but the next thing I knew it
Danny Heep
was 15 feet from me.”
Sutton, who owns the only
two victories the Astros have
over the Cubs this season, had
been touched for 10 hits but still
owned a 3-2 lead entering the
eighth. Walks to Keith More
land, Jody Davis and Larry
Bowa loaded the bases and
forced Sutton to exit.
“He was just high all day,”
said Houston manager Bill Vir-
don. “He pitched excellent, no
doubt about it.”
United Press International
LANDOVER, Md. — Often
amusing but seldom successful,
the Washington Capitals may
exist next season only if their
amusement isn’t taxed.
Owner Abe Pollin said Tues
day the club will either fold, or
move, if four conditions, includ
ing a waiver of a county amuse
ment tax, are not met within 30
days.
Pollin wants the tax cut for
four years from its present 10
percent to one-half of one per
cent. Prince George’s County re
ceives 9.5 percent and the state
about one-half of one percent
for administrative fees.
Pollin’s other conditions are
selling 7,'BOO season tickets, sell
ing out each of the Capitals’ first
10 home games next season and
reducing the rent paid to Capital
Centre from 15 percent to 10
percent. The rent and amuse
ment tax are based on net pro
ceeds after taxes.
If the conditions are not met,
the club will either be sold and
moved, merged with another
NHL club and moved, or dis
solved, Pollin said.
“The challenge is laid down to
all segments of the community,”
said Pollin. “I came very close to
washing my hands of the situa
tion, but I’m not a quitter.
“I’ve lost $20 million in cash.
This is not a ransom note. I’m
just trying to find a way to keep
the team here. If all four of the
conditions are not met by Aug.
19, there would not be time for
other alternatives to be worked
out.”
The Capitals, who have never
made the NHL playoffs, are
163-375-102 in eight seasons.
Pollin introduced four area
businessmen whom he said are
willing to invest in the Capitals if
the conditions are met.
vans reveals news
)f his son’s tumor
United Press International
BOSTON — Boston Red Sox
ar outfielder Dwight Evans is
ping with another family
igedy — his 5-year-old son is
tiling an inoperable tumor at
le base of the brain, a newspap-
reports.
Evans’ son, Justin, is under-
bing daily radiation treatments
[r the tumor at an area hospit-
, the Lynn Daily Item re-
arted. His other son suffers
om so-called “Elephant Man’s
lisease.”
Justin’s battle against the
Imor was revealed publicly for
le first time in an interview
ith Daily Item Executive
iorts Editor Red Hoffman.
“Yes I guess you can write it,”
Evans said last week, fighting
back tears. “You can write it is an
inoperable tumor at the base of
the brain.”
The Item reported that every
day for weeks, the 31-year-old
star, who tied for the American
League home-run lead last year,
visits the hospital when he is not
on the road with his wife, Suzie.
“The man upstairs never
sends down more than you can
handle,” Evans said.
Further details about the ill
ness were not revealed.
The couple’s other son,
Timothy Scott, 9, has under
gone a series of operations for
neurofibromatosis — an illness
characterized by tumor growth
often known as “Elephant Man’s
Disease.”

Reducing the arena rent pre
sents little problem since Pollin
owns Capital Centre that also
houses his NBA Washington
Bullets. The rent amortizes are
na construction bonds and the
Equitable Life Assurance Socie
ty, the bondholder, must
approve the reduction.
Peter F. O’Malley, the Capit
al’s legal counsel and alternate
governor, presented the tax-
reduction plan to the Prince
Georges County Council,
according to a spokesman for
County Executive Lawrence J.
Hogan.
“O’Malley has talked with the
council and nine members have
indicated favorably,” said the
spokesman. He added that
Hogan was considering the idea.
Hogan has been active in the
“Save the Capitals” movement in
recent weeks. He suggested sev
eral financial remedies to Pollin,
including industrial revenue
bonds, but the spokesman said
the only response has been the
tax-reduction proposal.
Pollin’s new investors are Dick
Patrick, Jim Lewis and Marty
Irving, partners in Tycon Con
struction Consultants, a North
ern Virginia land development
company, along with Prince
Georges County builder Robert
Turner. They would be limited
partners in the Capitals.
Under the plan, Pollin would
be the general partner maintain
ing 50 percent ownership and
remaining as president.
Patrick, a cousin of New York
Rangers’ General Manager
Craig Patrick, is a partner with
Lewis in a Northern Virginia law
firm.
