CHICAGO— Houston right-hander Nolan Ryan is a man truly
devoted to his work.
Blhe 35-year-old pitcher picked up his 199th major league
victory Wednesday in an outing that almost proved unbearably
!pitiful. Ryan, who earned his 10th victory of the season against
11 Florcntj line losses by beating the Chicago Cubs 2-1, lasted only five in
nings.
■ “When I walked Bill Buckner at the top of the sixth, my right
*k; it hip hurt so much that I decided I’d better call it a day,” Ryan said,
lembers■ Ryan suffered an injury to his right hip and elbow when he
liliarm Stumbled at the top of the stairs in his Houston home Sunday.
■The Astro right-hander, unsure of his readiness for the game,
ftlT 1 advised Manager Bill Virdon to have reliever Mike Lacoss
ready for an emergency start if necessary.
■Ryan thought he may have aggravated the hip in the third
■ting when he was forced at second on a ground ball by Dickie
■on.
■‘It became obvious to me as the game wore on that I might not
be able to finish,” Ryan said.
S 'Bfhe Cubs beat Ryan, who struck out four Cubs, including three
inihe first inning Wednesday, in his two previous starts against
them this season.
■“Today I got the Cubs to swing at some bad pitches and usually
T By were out in front of the ball, and while I walked four I felt I
c AchieJ s almost unbeatable,” he said.

nal asse!i|f^ e onl y problem was that Bowa stopped between first and
vement- sec ond. While Bowa was being gunned down, Davis decided to try
