There were also some stunning upsets, two coming on Sunday, the final day, when Abdi Bile of Somalia took the men’s 1,500 meters and little-known Douglas Wakihuru of Kenya beat the muggy weather and 66 others to win the men’s marathon through the streets and past the an cient sites of Rome. East Germany dominated the eight-day meet, winning 31 medals, 10 gold. The Soviet Union was sec ond with 25 medals, seven gold, while the United States, the leader at the inaugural championships four ?ars ago in Helsinki, Finland with z. a medals, was third with 19, seven r <jd. But Kenya, whose men captured three golds, and other African na tions established themselves as major threats in men’s distance races. In addition to Wakihuru, two other Kenyans won gold medals in the meet: Billy Konchellah won the 800 and Paul Kipkoech the 10,000. On Sunday, the African sweep was completed when world record- holder Said Aouita of Morocco cruised home in the 5,000 meters. The Americans won only one sprint, Calvin Smith holding on to his 200-meter title in a photo finish. Johnson beat Carl Lewis in 9.83 seconds, while Thomas Schoenlebe of East Germany upset Innocent Eg- bunike of Nigeria and Butch Rey nolds of the United States to win the 400. On Sunday, the United States im proved its final showing by winning three of the four relays — the men’s and women’s 400 and the men’s 1,600. Other winners Sunday, all in championship records, were Swe den’s Patrik Sjoeherg in the high jump at 7 feet, 9% inches; Britain's Fatima Whitbread in the women’s javelin at 251-5; and East Germany in the women’s 1,600 relay in 3:18.63. Bile, a former soccer player who turned to running only five years ago and won NCAA championships in 1985 and 1987 while at George Mason University, easily defeated world mile record-holder Steve Cram of Britain. Bile waited until the final turn be fore accelerating past the front-run ning Cram to win in 3:36.80 to give Somalia its first gold medal at a world championship or Olympic Games. Cram finished eighth. L /ndry pessimistic about offense before Cowboys' season opener IRVING (AP) — Dallas Coach Tom Landry has the most successful opening-day record in NFL history, but he said Tuesday he isn’t very op timistic about Sunday’s opener in St. Louis against the Cardinals. “I had hoped we would be in bet ter shape to start the season, but we will be slower starting than normal and that’s unfortunate,” Landry said. “I’d say a 9-7 season would be a reasonable goal.” Dallas scored only three touch downs during a 1-3 preseason, and Landry said “we’re going to have to win by defense and a goefd kicking game until our offense can get going. I didn’t see anything from the preseason that shows we can win a high-scoring game. The most points we scored were 13.” Landry said the Cowboys need to average 24 points and the defense needs to average holding a team to 20 points. “The four games we played in the preseason doesn’t get you too opti mistic about our offense,” Landry said. “However, we do have the tools to get better.” The Cowboys will be getting back a big weapon in their offense against the Cardinals. Herschel Walker, who missed every preseason game with a strained knee ligament, has been looking good in practice. “Herschel is back 100 percent with no pain,” Landry said. “He ran without pads all of las,L week. Of course, you don’t knovT what will happen in a game. We feel he is re ady to go. It will be like he is playing in his first preseason game.” Landry said he will use Walker at a variety of positions, including full back. Top draft choice Danny Noonan of Nebraska, a 42-day holdout be fore he signed a contract, will not play. The defensive lineman won’t be activated until the Cowboys’ sec ond game against the New York Gi ants, Landry said. “I don’t see myself activating him this week,” the coach said. “He’s probably not mentally ready yet. He does have the speed, quickness and strength we are looking for.” Landry will start rookie cor- nerback Ron Francis, a second- round pick from Baylor. “Ron came in and played ex tremely well,” Landry said. “We know the Cardinals will give him a lot of action, but we feel he can hold up to it. Playing cornerhack in the NFL is one of the toughest jobs you can have, but we have a lot of confi dence in Ron.” Landry said the Cardinals under his former assistant Gene Stallings are vastly improved. NFL players say they will strike Sept. 22 if no progress is made WASHINGTON (AP) — The NFL Players Association said Tues day it will strike on Sept. 22, after the second week of the season, un less there is considerable progress toward a new contract with the own ers. “Management left us no choice but to set a strike deadline,” Gene Upshaw, the executive director of the players association, said after the 24-4 vote by the player representa tives of the 28 teams. “We’re willing to bargain, but we can only do that at the bargaining ta ble. And by setting a deadline, we hope to get management to talk with us,” Upshaw said. Jack Donlan, executive director of the Management Council, said in a statement released by spokesman John Jones that the sides would set a date for resumption of negotiations Friday, the day after the owners meet in Chicago to discuss the situa tion. Upshaw said he hoped the talks could resume on that day. The two sides have met for just 41/2 hours since Aug. 14 and the con tract expired Aug. 31. Each side has accused the other of not wanting to bargain face-to-face. “Right now we know what the deadline is,” Upshaw said. “Jack and I have to work against that deadline, and if we don’t meet that deadline the next step will be taken, which is a strike.” Asked if the strike deadline was firm, Upshaw replied: “At this point the date is there, but everything is negotiable.” The current deadline is the same as it was five years ago, when the players struck after the second week of the regular season. The walkout lasted 57 days, eliminating seven games of the 16-game regular sea son. In fact, the last four negotiations with the union have resulted in strikes, the previous ones during the exhibition season. “The history of this union is to put negotiations in crisis," Donlan said in his statement. “They’ve never had a negotiation without a strike. Now that we know what their strike agenda is, what is their bargining agenda?” The announcement of the strike date came following a meeting be tween the NFLPA executive board and most of the league’s player rep resentatives. Upshaw said that after being briefed on the progress of talks between the union and man agement, the full board voted unani mously to declare a strike date and 24-4 on the Sept. 22 date. The announcement comes one day after management delivered its “proposal for settlement” to the NFLPA. After reading the outline Monday, Upshaw called it “gar bage.” 3 RBI by Stubbs lifts Dodgers to 4-3 victory over struggling Cincy CINCINNATI (AP) — Frank lin Stubbs drove in three runs with a triple and a single Tuesday night, giving the struggling Los Angeles Dodgers muen-needed 5-3 victory over the fast-sinking Cincinnati Reds. Stubbs, who has been mired in an 0-for-33 hitting slump, keyed a four-run third inning with a two-run triple that was misplayed by Reds’ center fielder Leo Gar cia. Stubbs also singled home an other run in the sixth off starter Ron Robinson, who’s record fell to 6-4 with the loss to the Dodg ers, as Los Angeles won for the second time in the last 12 games. The Reds took a 2-0 lead in the first inning as Kal Daniels contin ued his success against Los An geles right-hander Orel Hershiser.
