The AL banged out a record 13 runs, including a seven-run outburst in the third — also a record. The junior circuit also belted seven extra base hits, which tied a re cord. The 15 hits was the second highest in history, surpassed only by the 17 in 1954. The key blow was Fred Lynn’s grand slam — the first in 120 All-Star homers dating back to Babe Ruth’s shot (also in the third inning) in the first game in 1933 — which came off former American Leaguer and now San Francisco southpaw Atlee Ham- maker, the principal victim of the post-Fourth of July AL fire works. While Lynn was one of sever al A L heroes — Dave Winfield had three hits, Jim Rice ignited the third inning rally with a homer and starter and winner Dave Stieb struck out four in three innings — Hammaker was clearly the goat in the NL’s 19th loss against 34 wins (and a tie.) “I’ve given up two home runs all year, and then two in one in ning,” said Hammaker. “To put it bluntly, it’s probably the worst exhibition of pitching you’ll ever see.” Stoeb, of course, had a diffe rent view. “This is a big thrill for me, not only to play in the game, but to start the game and be the win ning pitcher in the game that we broke the losing streak in,” Toronto’s Stieb said. The NL made three errors that contributed to three un earned runs, two in the first two innings when the AL took a 2-1 lead. The NL failed to take advantage of early scoring opportunities and managed only one extra base hit — a dou ble by A1 Oliver in the fourth, in the game. “It was just a good, . old- fashioned (butt)-kicking,” said NL Manager Whitey Herzog, “(starting pitcher Mario) Soto threw a lot of pitches the first inninng, but if we played better behind him, we could have got ten out without any runs against us. Of course, you could say the same thing about Stieb.” The NL always seemed to play with more confidence, some would argue with more en thusiasm, during the streak. AL manager Harvey Kuenn said he noted a different attitude on his club before the game. “I really had the feeling that the ballplayers wanted to do it,” Kuenn said. Philadelphia’s Mike Schmidt, who hit into a double play in the fourth inning to thwart a poten tial NL comeback, had a more specific reason for the lopsided loss. “Basically, we had a pretty in experienced team this year, a lot of young players,” Schmidt ex plained. “Not to make excuses, but this year a lot of guys who were involved in the 11 straight NL all-star wins weren’t here tonight.” Most of the American League players agreed they had re moved a stigma they had carried for 11 years. “Next year they won’t be asking us why we can’t win an All-Star Game,” Yankee Dave Winfield said. “Next year the National League will be asking, ‘How do we keep the American League from scoring all those runs?”’ "These are the best golfers in the world. When you put them on a course like this, they’re going to shoot low numbers. It doesn’t mean the course is a poor one, ” says golfer Calvin Peete. time high and I’d like to win number three.” His pro debut came in the GMO in 1976, and even though he missed the cut it was special as his first PGA outing. Three years later, Peete got his first tournament win by taking the GMO, establishing him as a ris ing star. His second GMO win last summer ignited his finest year, as he went on to win three more tournaments and Finish fourth with than in earnings $318,000. Peete says another victory will not be easy, even though the field that begins play today in the $250,000 PGA event is not a star-studded one — he is the only one of the top 20 tour money-winners in the GMO. “After winning twice in the last four years I could be consi dered a favorite,” he said. “After playing here so many years I know the course real well and feel very comfortable. But you have a real good field here and there are quite a few who can win it.” Peete last year won with a 14- under par score of 274 over the 7,010 yard Tuckaway Country Club course, an immaculately groomed site the pros can score on easily. He also won with a 19-under par 269 in 1979 and thinks it will take “about 15 or 17 under to win this year.” “The greens are in great shape and I think it’s a good golf course for me. It’s a course I feel confident on over just about ev ery hole I play,” he said. The pros are coming off the tough Butler National course at Oak Brook, Ill., where Mark McCumber won the rain- delayed tournament by one shot over Tom Watson. McCumber was the only golfer to shoot two sub-par rounds in the tourna ment. It will be a different story in the GMO, where par will be busted by most of the field the first day, but the pro golfers de fend Tuckaway despite the ease with which they play it. Jim Colbert, the 1972 GMO winner, said the reason for the low scores is the way Tuckaway is groomed. “It’s in great shape every year,” he said. “We play a lot of courses that are easier than this but it’s just that it’s so well kept up. It’s not a lousy course. But the fairways are good and the greens are nearly perfect. Russians continue to sweep gold at University Games United Press International EDMONTON, Alberta — The Americans tripled their gold medal total. The Cana dians collected their second victory at the pool. The Rus sians? Well, they had another up and down day at the 1983 World University Games — stepping on and off the medal podium. The United States, winners of but one gold medal over the first five days, received win ning efforts from world champion diver Greg Louga- nis and shot putter Michael Carter, while Canada got a victory from swimmer Mike West, but the Soviet lead in the medal standings still stood insurmountable. After Wednesday’s events, the Soviet Union had 59 med als— 35 gold, 12 silver and 12 bronze. The United States was second with 24 medals. (3-13- 8), Canada third with 19 (3-1- 15) and Romania fourth with 14 medals (3-7-4). Louganis, the world diving champion at both 3 and 10 meters, easily won the men’s 3-meter springboard event. Carter, who has put a promising gridiron career on hold to prepare for a shot at Olympic gold, successfully de fended the Universiade shot put title he won in 1981 at Bucharest, Romania, with an throw of 19.74 meters. Neither American winner was overly pleased with his performance. West, of Waterloo, Ont., set a Universiade record in the men’s 100-metef backstroke in nipping Soviet swimmer Russian Victor Kuznetsov in a Michael Carter captures gold medal in shot put time of 56.64 seconds. Kuzne- tov clocked a time of 56.74, while compatriot Vladimir Shemetov took the bronze in 56.71. Soviet swimmer Irina Laricheva collected a record- tying fifth gold at the Games with a win in the women’s 800- meter freestyle in 8:40.31. American Marybeth Linz- meier won the silver in 8:41.43, while Canada’s Julie Daigneault was third in 8:53.52. The Russians aj^o domin ated in cycling, winning all four gold medals available Wednesday. Alexandre Panfi lov won the men’s 1,000- meter time trial, while Alexey Dotsenko placed first in the sprints. Erika Saloumiaee was a double winner on the women’s side, winning the 1,000 meter time trial and the sprints. At the track, Beverley Kinch of Great Britain upset Canada’s Angella Taylor, ranked fourth in the world last year, in the women’s 100- meter final, winning the race in a time of 11.14 seconds.
