JULY’S SPECIAL *19.50 All Major Credit Cards Accepted By Phone 40% OFF ALL SILK FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS TEXAS 707 College Station ST. LOUIS (AP) — The “White Rat” continues to live up to his nick name by scurrying through mazes. Manager Whitey Herzog of the St. Louis Cardinals demonstrated his abilities to find a way through a twisted path again Tuesday night. With his worn pitching staff facing the first of two double-headers in as many nights, he steered St. Louis to two victories. “We haven’t hurt ourselves,” Cards slugger Jack Clark said in ex plaining how St. Louis finessed a double-header sweep of the Los An geles Dodgers, both by 5-4 scores, to run their winning streak to five games. “Whitey does a good job with the bullpen and the bench. I think that’s the key,” Clark said. Herzog played the role of a jug gler in keeping the Cards afloat in a sea of 22 hits by Los Angeles batters during the double-header. He reached into St. Louis’ bull pen, selecting Rick Horton for his first start of the year in the opener. Horton was followed by two reliev ers. In the nightcap, Lee Tunnell was the first of four Cards pitchers. Nor did Herzog confine his think ing to the games at hand as St. Louis held onto its eight-game lead in the National League East. With an eye toward Wednesday night’s second double-header, also against the Dodgers, he reached down to the minor leagues for re inforcement. This time, he tabbed Dave LaPoint, a pitcher banished in April to Louisville of the American Association, for another chance to start. “Davey’s pitched well down there; he’s completed his last four starts,” Herzog said of the performances at Louisville that earned LaPoint an other look. “If I forced (Danny) Cox, I’ve got to force (Greg) Mathews,” Herzog said of three-day rests between starts those two otherwise would have had. “I needed a pitcher tomorrow night. That’s why we brought up LaPoint.”. Herzog has been able to coax the most out of a pitching staff that started Tuesday night with a 4.06 earned run average. Todd Worrell has headed the re lief corps but has received help. In addition to Horton, the St. Louis bullpen leaders have been Bill Daw- ley and Ken Dayley. The relievers, through 78 games, had an NL-lead- ing total of 29 saves. Herzog, the inventor of the dou ble-switch in making late substitu tions, frequently brings in one of his pitchers to face only one batter. Howe reinstated in minor leagues DALLAS (AP) — Steve Howe, the former Los Angeles Dodgers pitch ing star whose career was derailed by drug use, has been declared drug- free and reinstated in the minor leagues, his attorney said. The reinstatement, which goes into effect Sunday, clears the way for Howe to sign with any major-league team, attorney John Lence said Tuesday. The Texas Rangers have been most actively pursuing Howe since he returned last month from Mex ico, where the one-time National League rookie of the year pitched 23 innings, allowing four hits and no runs for the Tabasco Banana Pick ers. “This is the go-ahead we’ve been waiting for,” Lence said in a tele phone interview from his home in Kalispell, Mont. Howe would need the approval of Baseball Commissioner Pete Ueber roth before returning to the major leagues, but that is not expected to be a problem, Lence said. But an aide to Ueberroth said that such approval would not be given immediately. “If Steve Howe can demonstrate compliance with a drug-treatment program over a reasonable period of time and does not show any indica tions of a resumption of drug use, the office of the commissioner will, with proper safeguards, allow the as signment of his contract to a major- league team,” said Ed Durso, secre tary treasurer and executive vice president of the commissioner’s of fice. Major-league contracts must be approved by the Player Relations Committee. Howe went through several drug- treatment programs with the Los Angeles Dodgers before being re leased on July 3, 1985. He later signed with Minnesota, but was released later in the season when he was given permission to ap pear on a television show and failed to return to the team. Howe was suspended from Amer ican baseball for the second time last year after he failed a drug test while pitching for San Jose in the Class A California League. Rangers president Mike Stone said the Rangers are still “investigat ing” Howe. “No contract parameters or terms have been discussed,” Stone said. “We are continuing to gather infor mation about him, and we have talked to the commissioner a couple of times. He wants some assurance to prevent what happened before. “If we do sign him, we have to have reasonable assurances for the good of both parties,” Stone said. “We want to make sure that the things that have affected him in the past don’t affect him again.” Lence said Howe has taken more than 60 urine tests since January and passed them all.
