Houston sending messages to rivals
By Ed Bodde
Assistant Sports Editor
It’s only the first week in June,
but one gets the feeling the Hous
ton Astros are sending a few mes
sages to division rivals Cincinnati,
San Fran
cisco and —————————
Los Angeles. Analysis
Like,
“move out of
the way, first-place belongs to us.”
After a rough start, the Astros
have begun playing the kind of
baseball that made them National
League Western Division cham
pions last year. Perhaps they’ve fi
nally put the sting of last year’s
National League Championship
Series loss behind them.
In any case, the Astros have
won eight of their last 11 games
and now trail first place Cincin
nati by only '/2 game.
Included in the streak were
three wins in four games at Los
Angeles, where the Astros tradi
tionally have had little success.
What had to be particularly
pleasing to Manager Hal Lanier
was the pitching performance of
Danny Darwin Sunday against
the Dodgers. Darwin hurled a
complete game two-hitter.
With Bob Knepper having an
off year, it’s important for Dar
win to step forward and prove
that he can provide quality starts.
Smith stays healthy, the Astros
look solid in all areas, something
that can’t be said for divisional
foes Cincinnati, San Francisco
and Los Angeles.
Sure, Cincinnati has a power
packed lineup featuring Kal Dan
iels, Eric Davis and Dave Parker,
but the Reds get good starting
pitching about as often as the Cel
tics lose in the Boston Garden.
KW 1

Add in Mike Scott, Nolan Ryan
and Jim Deshaies, and the Astros
have perhaps the best starting ro
tation in baseball.
But what does all this mean?
Well, in a year when very few
teams have more than two quality
starters, it means the Houston As
tros may just pitch themselves to
another divisional title.
As long as ace reliever Dave
Going into Monday’s game in
the Astrodome, Cinncinati’s start
ing rotation had a combined ERA
of 5.54.
And the Reds just won’t be able
to continue winning games after
spotting teams six- or seven-run
leads.
Once and for all, it's clear that
Los Angeles’ sub .500 record last
year wasn’t the result of injuries.
And this year things just might
get worse.
The Dodgers continue to hi
trouble defensively, and none
their relievers could put ouiij

Reds encounter troubles with a great Scott
■nte
Will, S|)()l
Eomomit
based t> i'<]
HOUSTON (AP) — The Cin
cinnati Reds have learned there is
no shame in losing to Houston’s
Mike Scott.
“His split-finger fast ball, when
he throws it right, is unhittable,”
Reds third baseman Buddy Bell
said. “The ball does everything.
Nobody can hit that pitch.”
Scott was at it again against the
Reds Monday ni^ht, tossing a
combined seven-hit shutout with
reliever Dave Smith, leading the
Astros to a 4-0 victory.
“We don’t have anything to be
ashamed of,” said Bell, who
struck out twice, grounded out
and flew out. “He had great stuff
and very good velocity. I’m glad
he’s not pitching again tomor
row.”
Scott beat the Reds for the fifth
straight time over the past two
seasons. He has a combined
earned run average of 1.75 in his
last 56% innings against the Reds.
“He made me look like a fool,”
said centerfielder Tracy Jones,
who entered the game batting
.364. “The pitch starts out
looking good and then it rises and
makes you look stupid. You’re
swinging at pitches over your
head.”
After losing two of his first
three decisions this season, Scott
has rebounded strongly. Mon
day’s victory over the Reds was
his third in a row.
Scott, 8-3, struck out 14 Reds,
giving him 116 for the season and
tying him for the major-league
lead with Seattle’s Mark Lan
gston. Scott’s ERA dropped to a
league-leading 2.11.
“Good pitching will always stop
good hitting no matter what state
or country you’re in,” Reds Man
ager Pete Rose said. “You saw
good pitching (Monday) tonight.”
Scott has recorded 34 strilt |
outs in his three-game winnint j
streak, walked only six and to
yielded 12 hits in 25 innings

HYATTSVILLE, Md. (AP) —Lo
uise Bias stares at the rows of faces,
young faces she has seen in hun
dreds of high school audiences in
the 12 months since her son passed
from All-American to American tra
gedy.
She explodes in a burst of evange
listic fervor.
“I am on a mission from God!”
she shouts.
It is a mission, she explains, to res
cue America’s children from the
drugs that took her son, and from
the lack of self-esteem and love she
sees at the core of the problem.
“The greatest love of all,” she says,
paraphrasing a popular song, “is the
love you have for yourself.”
The crusade by this former assis
tant bank manager began shortly af
ter last June 19, when Len Bias, an
All-American forward made second
pick in the National Basketball Asso
ciation’s 1986 draft by the Boston
Celtics, died in a cocaine-induced
seizure.
The talk Lonise Bias gives this
night at Northwestern High School,
Len’s alma mater, is similar to the 25
she delivers monthly around the
country.
“But Mrs. Bias,” she shouts, im
itating critics, “If you know all the
answers, why couldn’t you save your
own son?”
Again, the pause. Again, the ex
plosion.
“I know Len Bias was part of a
plan,” she says. “Here was the No. 2
player going to the No. 1 team. What
better way to get attention?
“Len Bias had to go!”
In the year since Bias died, the
dangers of drugs have become a na
tional chant. Cities stage “Say No to
Drugs” days. Television networks
play similar messages in prime time.
Four months before Bias’ death, 2
percent of the people questioned by
The Gallup Poll picked drug abuse
as the most important national prob
lem. A month after his death it rose
to 8 percent. This April, it was 11
percent.
A born-again Christian, Mrs. Bias
is not discouraged by publicity given
drug use by such athletes as Houston
Rockets guards Mitchell Wiggins
and Lewis Lloyd and New York Mets
pitcher Dwight Gooden, or by the
cocaine-related death of Hernell
“Jeep” Jackson, a basketball star at
the University of Texas-El Paso.
Just as she is convinced her son
had to die to show the problems of
drug abuse, Mrs. Bias believes these
cases are a reminder the problem
still exists.
Charles “Lefty” Driesell’s new of
fice at the University of Maryland’s
Cole Field House is a cramped rect
angle of ersatz wood paneling be
tween offices for women’s volleyball
and men’s soccer.
Basketball coach at Maryland for
17 years and a powerful figure in the
Adantic Coast Conference, Driesell
resigned in the uproar over Bias’
death. Now, as assistant athletic di
rector, he oversees public relations,
promotion and sales.
This was the first season in three
decades Driesell was not on the side
lines.
“I missed it, sure,” he said. “You
don’t do something 31 years and
don’t miss it.”
Driesell defers questions about
Bias’ use of drugs, about supervision
of a player who after four years of
college was 21 credits short of grad
uation. But he does say he hopes
something of value will come from
his star player’s death.
“I think it woke up not just the
drug users but the general public to
the fact that drug abuse is a big
problem in our society,” he said.
“Now there’s youngsters who think
if it killed Leonard Bias who was a
great physical specimen ..
And he will talk about Bias, whom
he calls “the greatest athlete I’ve
coached.”
“Sometimes I can’t hardly believe
that Leonard is gone,” he said.
Ask Red Auerbach if Len Bias was
really that good, and the Celtics
president closes his eyes and nods.
“He was a helluva player,” he said
sofdy. “Six-foot-eight with the speed
of a back court man. Jump out of
sight. Good touch. Very good com-
petitor.”
Auerbach believes the big power
forward would have made the Cel
tics’ run to another Eastern Confer
ence tide a lot easier. The aging
team made it through the season
with injury after injury.
“If we’d had Len Bias, we would
have been a much better ballclub,”
said Auerbach. “He was a good kid.
A helluva kid.”
But down on the floor of Boston
Garden, Larry Bird had a different
opinion when asked what might
have been with Bias in Celtic green.
“I really don’t know,” he said.
“You can sit here and think about it,
but if he was on drugs, and obviously
he was, he could have destroyed our
whole team.”
He paused, then added, “But at
least he would have been alive and
maybe we could have got some help
for him.”
HOUSTON (AP) — Glenn Davis
hit a homer and a run-scoring single
and Jim Deshaies pitched a five-hit
ter over eight innings, giving Hous
ton a 4-1 victory over Cincinnati and
moving the Astros within a half
game of the West Division-leading
Reds.
Deshaies, 6-2, struck out nine and
walked one for his fourth straight
victory.

Rockets GM: Sampson dec
close to Olajuwon’s pact
HOUSTON (AP) — The final
contract the Houston Rockets of
fered Ralph Sampson had more va
lue than the 12-year $2.5 million per
year deal signed last November by
teammate Akeem Olajuwon, general
manager Ray Patterson said Tues
day.
“The difference in the contracts is
the difference in the way you treat
money — annuities, up front bo
nuses, interest on money loaned,”
Patterson said.
“The difference is in the interpre
tation of the contract. I’d sat
(Sampson) contract exceedsAk
in the way we interpreted it
“But that’s about as sperifr
want to get because we’re sin#
dating in good faith and I
keep it that way.”
Sampson said the Rocktis
failed in a pledge to match Okf
won’s contract.
Patterson, breaking a wceklJ
silence on the subject of Samp#
contract, said the Rockets si hop
to sign the 7-foot-4 forward.
Lakers, fans celebrai
in downtown parade
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Thou
sands of basketball fans, waving
pennants, blowing horns and
snacking on “Laker purple” cot
ton candy, put the full-court
press on downtown Tuesday to

champion Boston Celtics 106-93
on Sunday.
Los Angeles won the best-of-
seven NBA finals four games to

better look at theit heroes. A
Magpc Johnson look-alike stood in
his own circle of admirers
Lakers’ cheerleading si
danced to loud acclaim.
Team pennants sprouted (rot
the crowd, along with signs
played off the names of favor®
players.
“Lakers are Magic-al,” “U
Kareem’ed the Celtics,’’
“Lakers are ‘Worthy’ Cha®
pions,” read signs referring f
Johnson, Kareem Abdul-JaN#
and James Worthy.
A crowd estimated at 15
ther lined the parade route or)'
tended the ceremonies at (f
Hall, said Fabian Lizarraga^p 1
lice spokesman.
From the podium at City Hi
