»tet the glory he felt last
|dnesday upon becoming
pball’sall-time strikeout king,
violin Ryan suddenly felt his
on had abruptly ended.
■“Boy, the thing just popped
someone shot me,” said
tyan Monday night, after the
pitch of his 12th strikeout
^^^■nst the Mets in New York, a
BStaKping curve to W alk Bat k-
had left him writhing on
l^^^■moun(l in pain w ith a pulled
hamstring. “I have never

for nfjlncerned Ryan, who began his

son on the career strikeout list.
His 12 K’s Monday upped his
total to 3,521.
Ray Knight drove in two runs
with a home run and a sacrifice
fly to support Ryan and Frank
LaCorte worked the final 1 1-3
innings for a save. George Fos
ter and Rusty Staub reached
Ryan for RBI singles.
Mets’ Manager George Bam
berger had concerns of his own
with one of his star pitchers, re
liever Neil Allen, who Sunday
night admitted to having an
alcohol problem. But he was
confident Allen would get
through it.
“I don’t think it’s a big deal,”
Bamberger said. “I think he is a
little bit embarrassed. I’ll bring
him back, and when he goes
three or four good innings I’ll
put him back in his job in the
bullpen and he’ll do good.”
In other games, Cincinnati
topped Philadelphia, 5-2, and
Pittsburgh defeated Los
Angeles, 5-1.
In the American League, it
was: Cincinnati 5, Philadelphia
2; Kansas City 4, the New York
Yankees 1; Toronto 6, Texas 5;
and Milwaukee 8, the Chicago
White Sox 4.
At Philadelphia, rookie Gary
Redus celebrated his return to
the lineup from a hamstring in
jury with two home runs and
Ted Power scattered seven hits
for his first complete game in
the majors, to lead Cincinnati.
At Los Angeles, Lee Mazzilli
and Dave Parker each drove in a
pair of runs and Rick Rhoden
scattered nine hits to lead the
Pirates. Lee Lacy stole two bases
to increase his league-leading
mark to 15.
At Toronto, Willie Upshaw
and Lloyd Moseby each belted
two-run homers and Randy
Moffitt pitched three innings of
perfect relief to lead the Blue
Jays to victory. Moffitt has not
allowed a hit in his last five
appearances. Brewers 8, White
Sox 4
At Chicago, Ben Oglivie
drove in three runs and Cecil
Cooper and Robin Yount each
knocked in two to pace the
Brewers to their eighth triumph
in their last 12 games. The game
was delayed an hour and 22 mi
nutes at the start by rain.
At Kansas City, Amos Otis
and Leon Roberts smacked two
homers to lead the Royals. De
nnis Leonard, 3-2, scattered five
hits, struck out two and walked
two over seven innings before
giving way to Dan Quisenberry,
who pitched the final two in
nings for his fifth save.
Bob Shirley, 1-2, set down the
first 11 Royals before Frank
White slapped a two-out single
to left in the fourth. Amos Otis,
who had missed six games with
the flu, then drove a Shirley
pitch 390 feet over the left field
wall for his first homer of the
season and a 2-0 lead.

Monday, but they were to be
filed today in federal court.
The suit alleged conspiracy to
obstruct justice in the trial in
which the Raiders and the Los
Angeles Coliseum were
awarded a total of nearly $50
million damages stemming from
the NFL’s actions in blocking the
Raiders’ move from Oakland for
two years.
The suit seeks $32,395,000 in
actual damages and $25 million
in punitive damages. New Eng
land, New Orleans and Philadel
phia franchises were not named
in the suit.
Raiders attorney Joseph
Alioto charged the league con
spired with Coliseum General
Manager Jim Hardy during the
penalty phase of the trial. The
suits claim Hardy was the NFL’s
“most important witness,” and
he belittled the Raiders’ major
claims for damages for money
the team lost because of the de
layed move.

OAKLAND, Calif. — John
Ralston was apologetic for run
ning up the score but Doug
Shively wasn’t having any part of
it.
Ahead, 27-20, and the clock
running down to the final
seconds Monday night, Oakland
Invaders’ quarterback Fred Be-
sana dived 3 yards for a touch
down and an eventual 34-20 vic
tory over Shively’s Arizona
Wranglers.
Ralston, the Invaders’ head
coach and general manager,
said he never would have
allowed his team to score again
with the game safely tucked
away, but he was forced to be
cause of the United States Foot
ball League’s tiebreaker rule.
Arthur Whittington added a
touchdown on a 6-yard run and
Kevin Shea booted field goals of
42 and 35 yards before Besana
went over from 3 yards out with
27 seconds remaining to account
for the Invaders’ points. Be-
sana’s trouchdown throws co
vered 30 yards to Gordon Banks
and 42 yards to Raymond
Chester.
