ST. LOUIS — Most of Ozzie
Smith’s contributions to the St.
Louis Cardinals cannot be
found in the hits, runs and RBI
columns in the daily boxscores.
Through the Cardinals’ first
29 games this season, Smith was
hitting .222 with six RBI. He
would like for the numbers to be
higher, but he knows he doesn’t
collect his $ 1 million a year sal
ary because he hits .300 every
year or drives in 100 runs or hits
25 homers.
Smith is the highest paid
shortstop in the history of base
ball because of the way he plays
defense, but Tuesday night he
gave the Cardinals a little some
thing extra for their money.
Smith had a double and sing
le and drove in two runs and
scored twice on top of his usual
defensive effort to help the Car
dinals extend their winning
streak to six games with an 8-4
victory over the Houston Astros.
“If I’m only getting one hit a
night but it’s in a key situation

that’s OK,” Smith said. “But
when you hit the ball hard two or
three times and have nothing to
show for it, it’s frustrating.
“But you can’t let it affect the
other parts of your game. When
I’m not hitting, I try to bear
down even more defensively
and not give anybody else any
hits.”
Manager Whitey Herzog con
siders any offensive production
from Smith, a career .234 hitter,
as a bonus.
“I don’t worry about it,” Her
zog said, “but he has really hit
better than his average shows.
He was hitting too many fly
balls. He has to hit it on the
ground to be successful.”
With the Cardinals leading 2-
0 in the third inning, Houston
starter Joe Niekro walked Ken
Oberkfell and Tom Herr to load
the bases and Smith followed
with a two-run single to increase
the lead to 4-0. Smith later
scored on Lonnie Smith’s two-
run double.

In the fifth. Smith doubled
and scored as the Cardinals built
an 8-1 lead in handing the
Astros their third straight loss.
“He’s more of a contact hit
ter,” said Houston manager Bob
Lillis. “When you’re that type
hitter, anytime you make con
tact you have a chance. Their
whole club is that way. They
have a lot of people who hit well
with men in scoring position.”

UNIONDALE, N.Y. — The New York Islan
ders, playing an almost methodical brand of hock
ey, dumped the Edmonton Oilers again Tuesday
night 4-2 to capture the Stanley Cup in a four-
game sweep.
The Islanders used a stunning three-goal first
period to put away the Oilers and win their fourth
straight Stanley Cup. Goals by Bryan Trottier,
John Tonelli and Mike Bossy — in a 1:37 span —
put the Islanders ahead to stay.
New York then withstood a spirited Oiler com
eback, but Ken Morrow’s empty-net goal with
1:09 remaining ended Edmonton’s chances.
There’s a tradition that goes with the final
Stanley Cup contest. All hard feelings are sup
posed to be forgotten and the players on the los
ing: team skate down the ice and shake hands with
bigge
to the Cardinals lately, however,
may turn out to be an unsolicited
piece of advice he gave Lonnie
Smith after the St. Louis leftfiel-
der made two errors in a game,
giving him seven in 27 games.
“I’ve really been hurting us
the way I’ve been playing the
outfield,” , Lonnie Smith said.
“Ozzie told me my glove was
closed too much, so I switched
gloves. It seems to be helping. It
doesn’t mean anything if I’m
driving in one run and giving up
one or two.”
Ozzie Smith said the problem
with the closed glove was just
something he noticed and men
tioned to Lonnie.
the members of the winning team.
But Billy Smith, the Islanders’ goalie and win
ner of the Conn Smythe Award as MVP of the
Stanley Cup series, didn’t bother shaking hands
with the Oilers. So much for good sportsmanship.
Smith couldn’t care less.
Victory was particularly sweet for him Tuesday
night because he felt he evened the score with
Edmonton’s Wayne Gretzky for an episode that
” the
occurred during the second game of the series in
Edmonton last Thursday. Smith drew a five-
minute major penalty in the final minutes of that
contest for slashing Gretzky with his stick. The
Oilers’ brilliant 22-year-old center fell to the ice
writhing in pain after being hit.
At 8:26 of the final period Tuesday night,
Smith got his “revenge.”
Edmonton wing Glenn Anderson was skating
in front of the Islanders’ goal and suddenly Smith
was seen writhing on the ice in apparent pain.
Time out was called while Islander trainer Ron
Waske came out on the ice to see how seriously
Smith had been injured. Roland Melau_, ite
Islanders’ backup goalie, also skated outlci/^sH
he would be needed as a replacement. B* Hoi
, Smith was rolling around on the icemoit(B| reS)
time. Anderson was roundly booed when -t^ent
assessed with a five-minute major penalt) Fjjie m
feree Andy Van Hellemond. ;’sl>od)
Then, after the game Smith practicalities is a
ted it was a charade. H or
“I did the same thing Gretzky did inthe jdershi]
game in Edmonton,” the Islanders' goi®
dared. “I threw myself on my back and s
around. I want everybody in Canadatob.®* 1 a '
can play the same game.”
When he was specifically asked if heha(iff, se 111
the injury, Smith merely kept repeating he* slatt
same thing Gretzky had done. isei
“I was hurt about as bad as Gretzky was®
the second game,” Smith said. “What teat® on
pened was he (Anderson) tried to rapnK* ,ie ^
my throat and hit my (shoulder) pad.” ® 1 S es
Dave Lumley could scarcely hide hisS® s ()
when he heard what Smith had to say. ®^' .
“If he wants to turn this series intol^l ' '
personal farce, that’s his business," said the® exat
right wing. “I think he’s a helluva goodgoaiTpous
I don’t go for what he did.” Neill, D

“That doesn’t show too much character,Bj n g S
