Butnhe AL’s win on a clear,
crisp July night before a sellout
crowd of 43,801 was one directly
descended from the original win
at Comiskey Park in 1933. 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.

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.

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.
