In a heartening perform ance, the Royals’ veteran right hander fired a solid seven in nings in a 6-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Kansas City, Mo., Monday night. Leonard missed 16 starts last season with fractured fingers on his pitching hand after being struck by a line drive, and had worried about his future. But when he was able to throw an effective hard slider, his con cerns were eased. “I may have concentrated more on it this spring,” he said. “When you break your fingers like that, you want to prove to yourself that you can still get that breaking pitch over. I’ve got more confidence in that pitch now than I’ve had in a long time.” AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS CLUB Annual Spring Awards Banquet APRIL 14, 7:00 P.M.

United Press International LOS ANGELES — Bill Rus sell has been to the top and to the bottom in his 13 years with the Dodgers. Monday night, he vi sited both places in the same game. Early in the game, a Russell error set up a Houston run, and the Dodger Stadium crowd booed the veteran second base- man. But it was Russell’s bases- loaded squeeze bunt that drove in Derrell Thomas with the win ning run in the 11th inning to give Los Angeles a 4-3 victory over the Astros, keeping Hous ton winless this season. Russell’s game-winning hit came off reliever Dave Smith, the fourth Astro pitcher. Smith relieved loser Julio Solano, 0-2, who set up the Dodgers’ winning rally by walking Thomas and wild-pitching him to third. Sola no then walked Steve Yeager “With runners at third and less than two out, I look for the squeeze from (manager) Tom my (Lasorda),” Russell said. “He likes to do that, especially with me at the plate. It was a fastball right down the middle. In that situation, the pitcher has to throw strikes.” pinch-hitter Mike Mari making his first appe since a frightening be game Saturday —sir leaping second base®; Doran with Thomas moij third. Sax followed will to center. Asked about the boos, Russell said: “It’s the same old thing with me. But the same ones who booed me stayed to cheer me at the end. It doesn’t bother me. If it did I wouldn’t be playing this long. In fact, it makes me play better.” Astros’ Dave Smith losing pitcher as Dodgers win, 4-3 and issued an intentional pass to Rick Monday to load the bases before departing. Los Angeles’ Steve Howe pitched two innings and won his first game of the season. Steve Sax tied the score at 3-3 with two out in the ninth off star ter Bob Knepper, who pitched 8% innings.

Scott and Dora walked and Thongoia Russell’s error to loadtbt Goalies in Stanley Cup spotligh United Press International It’s been an unwritten rule in previous Stanley Cup competi tion that the team with the best goaltending usually wins the Na tional Hockey League cham pionship. If that trend continues, either the Boston Bruins or Buffalo Sabres should emerge with pro fessional hockey’s most trea sured prize. Those two teams have been getting the best goaltending since the post-season competi tion began and now Pete.Peeters of Boston and Bob Sau ve of Buf falo go head-to-head in the quarter-finals of the Cup com petition, beginning Thursday night at Boston. Peeters, who had the most victories, most shutouts and lowest goals against average in the league during the regular season, has continued his bril liant play in the post-season competition. He allowed eight goals in four games as Boston eliminated Q ue bec in the Adams Division semifinals and was nothing short of spectacular in Boston’s 2-1 clinching victory Sunday, stopping 39 shots. “It’s as good an effort as I’ve ever seen from any athlete in any sport,” said Boston captain Wayne Cashman of Peeters’ per formance. “It’s incredible.” Sauve has been even better in Cup action so far. He surren dered only two goals in three games as the Sabres swept Mon treal, and he posted oack-to- back shutouts in the Montreal Forum in the first two games. “It started with the goaltend ing,” Buffalo Coach Scotty Bow man said. “Bob Sauve was great. Our young guys found out what a close-checking game will do.” “Our series against the Sabres is going to be a very close one," Boston’s Ray Bourque said. “They will be ready for us and we are going to have to be more physical against them.” Boston defeated Buffalo, 3-1, last year in the Adams Division semifinals in the first playoff meeting between the teams.

But Wat son, another two-time Masters champ, then had a string of three straight bogeys and although he closed to three back when he birched the 13th, it was all over when he took a double bogey at 14. “The 14th sealed my coffin,” Watson said. “The lights went out for me. As I said earlier in the week, 1 had to play my best to win and I didn’t play my best." Watson, with a 73, and Floyd, who had a 75, tied for fourth, five shots behind Ballesteros. Hale Irwin had a 69 Monday and Stadler a 76 and they wound up in a tie for sixth at 286. Lanny Wadkins (7 1), Dan Pohl (71) and Gil Morgan (74), who led at the end of the rain-delayed second round, were at 287 and the only others under par for 72 holes.
