Ryan surpasses strikeout mark as Astros win
United Press International
Nolan Ryan surpassed Walter
Johnson’s strikout record
Wednesday night with his 3,509
career strikeout against the
Montreal Expos.
Not only that, but the Hous
ton Astros, Ryan’s team, won,
not a small feat in itself.
The Astros defeated the Ex
pos 4-2 in Montreal behind
Ryan’s five-hitter, but it was the
five strikeouts that provided the
most relief.
. “I guess I’ll be excited later,”
Ryan said after the game, ‘‘but I
don’t get too excited over any
thing. I didn’t realize, beginning
this season, that the 15 strike
outs I needed would be so diifi-
cult to get. It’s been frustrating.”
Phil Garner and Dickie Thon
drove in two runs apiece to help
the Astro cause, and Frank
LaCorte came on in the ninth to
finish up for Ryan.
“This is almost a superhuman
accomplishment,” Montreal
manager Bill Virdon, who was
Ryan’s manager the previous
three years in Houston, said.
“Not only does a pitcher have to
posess great talent, but the only
you can set this kind of record,
to strike out 3,509 batters, is
through endurance. It’s an ex
ceptional feat that Nolan has
stayed physically strong for so
long.”
PHILADELPHIA 6,
ATLANTA 2 — Three Philly
pitchers combined to pitch a six-
hitter Wednesdaym and the
Phillies broke Atlanta’s five-
game winning streak with a 6-2
victory in Atlanta.

Oiler front office says
'shape up or ship out’
United Press International
HOUSTON — The Houston Oilers’ selection
of five defensive backs in the National Football
League draft should tell Oiler veterans charged
with off-season drug and alcohol offenses to
“shape up or ship out,” General Manager Ladd
Herzeg said Wednesday.
“We can’t overemphasize how conccrened we
are with this situation,” Herzeg said. “I think the
draft picks that we took yesterday (Tuesday) de
monstrate the concern about the defensive secon
dary situation.”
Starting cornerbacks J.C. Wilson and Greg
Stemrick were arrested outside a private club here
Jan. 12 Wilson was charged with driving while
intoxicated and Stemrick was charged with poses-
sion of cocaine.
Oiler safety Vernon Perry was arrested April 3
at a lounge he operates in Jackson, Miss, and
charged with posession of cocaine, resisting arrest
and violating state liquor laws.
Stemrick pleaded no contest to the charges and
Wilson pleaded guilty to drunken driving
charges. Perry is free on $5, 675 bond. _
Oiler coach Ed Biles said the Oilers were* ,\^| |
to improve the team image. .
“Tne only way you can change that inugK, p S |
your actions,” said Biles. “This draft hasl«Mp 0sa | s
