Candelaria hopes success continues
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — John Candelaria
knows about adversity. He also knows about
bouncing back.
It is a tribute to his resiliency that he will start
for the California Angels Friday night in Game 3
of the American League playoffs against the Bos
ton Red Sox.
Candelaria has felt the sting of criticism from
teammates and management.
He underwent surgery for arm problems that
threatened his career.
And he watched his infant son die after 1 1
months in a coma.
“The last couple of years taught me to deal
with reality,” he said.
Tonight, Candelaria will deal with a different
kind of reality. The series is tied 1-1, and the An
gels are counting on the left-hander to put them
in front again in the best-of-seven series.
It seemed an unlikely scenario early in the sea
son when Candelaria missed the first three
months because of elbow problems. But he went
10-2 with a 2.55 earned run average alter coming
back in July.
His return, speeded-up because of a need for
another starting pitcher on the staff, helped the
Angels win the American League West. He did,
however, have to take off a couple of weeks in
September because of elbow soreness.
"Il l would’ve taken my time and come back in
August, 1 wouldn’t have had the problem,” Can
delaria said. “I’m not putting the blame on any
body. I was trying to rush, too.”
Candelaria, who will be 33 next month, tea
med with Mike Witt, Kirk McCaskill and Don
Sutton to give California a solid rotation on a
team that finished second in die league in pitch
ing.
Witt beat Boston 8-1 on a five-hitter in Game 1
of the playof fs, while the Red Sox prevailed over
McCaskill 9-2 in the second game on Wednesday.
Candelaria will be opposed by Dennis "Oil
Can” Boyd, who was 16-10 this season.
Tonight’s game will begin at twilight to acco
modate television. That is not a hitter’s favor®
part of the day.
"It’s tough at the time, especially picking!
the ball," Boston designated hitter Don Bavlot
said.
The Red Sox will fie facing t he (i-f<>ot-7 Candt
laria, who said, “1 think I’m throwing it beitn
now than I have in seven or eight years."
Most of that time was spent in I’iltsbutgl.
where he pitched in the playoffs in 1975 ml
1979.
In August 1985, the Pirates tradedCandelarii
a lifelong starter who bad been used exclusive
in relief for die first time in his career. Hit
change in scenery was exactly what Candeiam
needed, and he went 7-3 for tfte Angelsdumj
the rest of the year.
"I don’t know what that will be like,"Candeli
ria said. “I’ve never pitched a 5:30 start in Am-
heim.
"I feel it’s time for my talent to come out,’lit
said with a smile. “1 don’t know if it will."
Cowboys, Redskins to renew old rivalry

IRVING (AP) — The unbeaten
Washington Redskins can put the
defending NFC Eastern Division
champion Dallas Cowboys on the
ropes Sunday w ith a victory at Texas
Stadium in a clash of two old rivals
who could be missing some key play
ers.
The Redskins are off to a 5-0 start
for just the third time in their 50-
year history while the crippled Cow
boys are 3-2.
“To start 5-0 for us is a dream,”
said Washington Coach Joe Gibbs.
“We have 13 first-year players.
We’ve made a lot of changes. We’ve
fought hard every week and we’re
very pleased.”
Dallas Coach Tom Landry said he
hadn’t projected such a quick blitz by
the Redskins.
“I’m a little surprised,” Landry
said. “You have to be awful lucky to
start 5-0. They are an excellent team
and very well coached but you have
to have a little luck.”
Landry is 30-20-2 against Wash
ington, including a series sweep last
year.
Gibbs is 4-6 against the Cowboys,
including a 44-14 loss in Texas Sta
dium last year.
However, both teams are so
bruised up it could be the noon kick
off before starting lineups are deter
mined.
Three of Dallas’ shining stars,
quarterback Danny White, running
back Tonv Dorsett, and defensive
tackle Randy White nursed injuries.
Quarterback Steve Pelluer, who
subbed for Danny White in a 29-14
loss to Denver last week, was ready
for his Texas Stadium NFL starting
debut if White’s pulled groin re
fused to respond. Dorsett, who gave
way to Herschel Walker last week
while resting a sprained knee and
ankle, could play with a knee brace.
Don Smerek, who has missed ail
of the season with a sprained knee,
was activated to start for Randy
White should a pulled hamstring be
come too painf ul.
The Redskins also have had their
share of injury misfortune.
Linebacker Mel Kaufman is lost
for the season and outside line
backer Monte Coleman’s hamstring
injury will not allow hint to plat
against the Cowboys.
Middle linebacker Neal Oita
got a twisted knee in last Sundau
14-6 victory over New Orleans anti
might not lae 100 percent.
Landry said he thought Washing
ton was a playoff caliber team.
“With a 5-0 streak, I’d say Wait
ington is a cinch for the playoffs.
Landrv said. “Our tinting (withinju
t ies) couldn't have been worse.’’
Landry refused to say thegamt
was a "must” for the Cowboys al
though a three-game deficit
be hard to overcome.
“1 remember once we trailed In
three games with four to plavaid
ended up winning the SuperBo«l
Landry said.
