(AP) — Magic Johnson scored a season-high 38 points, including a halfcourt shot at the end of the first half, as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Dallas Mav ericks for the ninth straight time with a 113-106 victory Monday night. The Lakers, trying to claim the NBA’s best record and the home- court advantage throughout the playoffs for the third time in four seasons, used their seventh consec utive triumph to improve their re cord to 58-17 and their lead over de fending league champion Detroit Pistons to four games. Rolando Blackman scored 19 points for the Mavericks. Teammate Roy Tarpley sat out the second game of a two-game suspension from coach Richie Adubato for missing Friday’s practice. Earlier in the day, By ALAN LEHMANN Of The Battalion Staff ARLINGTON — Nolan Ryan was on the trail of his sixth career no-hit ter Monday night in front of a sell out crowd of 40,907 at Arlington Stadium. But it wasn’t to be for Ryan. He tired after five innings and was re moved after throwing 90 pitches. He allowed four walks while striking out four, and was relieved by Mike Jef- fcoat. Ryan, 43, picked up 290th career win, as the Rangers moved by the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-2. Ryan pitched only once in spring training, going seven innings and giving up seven hits against the Chi cago White Sox on March 30. Last year, Ryan came close to picking up his sixth no-hitter, but fell in the late innings. In 1989, he took no-hitters into the final inning four times and lost them all. The Rangers’ hitting star was first baseman Rafael Palrniero. Palmiero was two-for-two with a home run and a triple, and had two walks. He scored three of the Rangers’ runs. The Rangers jumped out to a two- run lead in the bottom of the first in ning. Palmiero walked and scored on a home run by designated hitter HOUSTON (AP) — Barry Larkip was looking for a strike and Charley Kerfeld gave him one that became a three-run triple in the 11th inning Monday night, helping Cincinnati to an 8-4 victory over the Houston As tros in Lou Piniella’s debut as Reds manager. Kerfeld loaded the bases with a pair of walks and a single. Larkin then drove a triple to right-center to beat Kerfeld, making his first major- league appearance in two seasons. “I knew he didn’t want to go 3- and-2 on me so I knew I’d get a strike,” Larkin said after the Reds’ season-opening victory. “And that’s where it was, right over the plate.” Larkin played the game despite an ankle injury sustained during spring training. “I wasn’t going to start the season on the bench,” Larkin said. “I sprained it in a collision. They asked if I wanted to play. I wouldn’t let any ankle injury stop me.” Kerfeld underwent shoulder sur gery after playing a key role in the Astros’ 1986 National League West title. He had not pitched in the ma jors since 1987. “Maybe I was a little too excited, but I saw 30,000 or 40,000 fans that Tarpley tested negative for cocaine and alcohol use. With center Mychal Thompson out with a hyperextended right knee suffered Friday night at Phoenix, the Lakers started Y ugoslavian rookie Vlade Divac loi just the sec ond time this season. Divac had 21 points and 11 rebounds. Sam Perkins cut the Mavericks’ deficit to 78-73 with the first basket of the fourth quarter before the Lakers scored 14 of the next 19 points, including Johnson’s driving layup with 8:09 left, to open the margin to 92-78. Moments after Dallas guard Derek Harper drew his second tech nical foul in a 94-second span, the Lakers took their largest lead, 103- 88, on Michael Cooper’s 3-pointer with 4:13 to play. Dallas closed to 109-104 on a jumper by Anthony Harold Baines. The homer, the Rangers’ first of the season, was a line shot over the 380-foot mark in right-centerfield. “We picked the perfect night with Nolan on the mound and a sellout crowd,” Palmiero said. Palmiero spent a lot of time in the weightroom over the offseason. “I feel stronger this year, and I don’t want to get weak toward the end of the year,” he said. Palmiero led off the third inning with a triple off the rightfield wall, and scored on Baines' groundout. Palmiero scored the Rangers’ final run in the seventh inning when he stroked a home run over the left field wall. Jeffcoat pitched two and two- third innings and gave up two hits. Both Toronto runs were charged to him. Jeff Russell came on with two outs in the eighth and gave up a two-run double to Kelly Gruber. Gruber was thrown out on the play at third base while trying to stretch it into a'triple. Russell then retired the Blue Jays in order in the ninth to pick up the save. Gruber had two of the three Blue Jay hits. His first hit was a double off Jeffcoat in the sixth that broke up the no-hitter. were excited too,” Kerfeld said. “I wouldn’t be sitting here if I didn’t throw well in spring training. “Tomorrow is another day. I’ll get up and the sun will be shining.” Mariano Duncan kept the Reds in the game early with a two-run homer in the second and a run-scor ing single in the sixth that tied the game at 4-4 and forced extra in nings. “It’s going to take all 24 men on the roster, but if we play like we did tonight, we can go a long way,” Dun can said. Kerfeld walked Joe Oliver to start the 11th and Hal Morris followed with a single. After a sacrifice by Ron Oester, Chris Sabo was intentionally walked and former Astro Billy Hatcher struck out. Larkin then hit a liner to right to score pinch-runner Rolando Roomes, Morris and Sabo. Eric Da vis singled in Larkin. Winner Randy Myers pitched 1 2- 3 innings of hitless relief. Glenn Davis was hit by pitches three times, tying a major league re cord and setting a Houston record. The last to be hit three times was Ron Hunt of San Francisco in 1969. Jones w'ith 31 seconds left, but John son re-entered the game and sank a pait of free throws to clinch the tic- tory the L.akers’ 10th straight at home. Dallas used a 14-3 run, engi neered by Harper’s layup and three assists and capped by Blackmans layup, to turn a 10-point deficit into a 64-63 lead with 6:10 leIt in the third quarter. But Johnson climaxed an 11-0 run with his third 3-pointti of the game and a pair of free throws to restore the Lakers’margin to 74-64 with three minutes left in the period. After Harper hit a driving layup with 2.4 seconds on the clock, John son let fly from five feet behind the midcourt line and hit nothing but net to give the Lakers their biggest lead of the half.

(AP)- fommy Kramer, ranked either first or second in every major passing cat egory for the Minnesota Vikings, was released by the NFL tearaathis request on Monday. Kramer, the Vikings’ first-round draft pick from Rice University in 1977 and at 35 the Vikings’ oldest player on offense, said General Manage! Mike Lynn told him that he probably would be no bettei than the team’s third-string quarterback this season. He said Lynn had told him that Wade Wilson again would be the No. 1 quarterback and that Rich Gan non, 24, who was acquired from New England in 1987 in exchange for Minnesota’s fourth-and llth-round picks in the 1988 draft, would get a shot at the No. 2 spot. “I’ve enjoyed my time with the Vi kings,” Kramer said in a statement released by the Vikings. “I don’t want to retire just yet. I’m looking forward to a new challenge and hope to get an opportunity to learn and operate a new system. It should be interesting after so many years with the Vikings.” Kramer couldn’t be reached im mediately for further comment. Kramer, a 13-year veteran who was the Vikings starting quarterback from 1979 until the last couple of years, was one of 13 Vikings left un protected from Plan B free agency in February. Plan B players who had not signed by April 1 and still had contracts re verted back to their former cjubs un der their old contracts. Kramer had one vear left on a two-year contract extension he signed last year, which would have paid him about $1 million this sea son. The Vikings are now free of that obligation.
