NORTHWEST HERALD StctionA Saturday, September 14.1915 Page 11 Sports Jays foil Nlekro's bid for 300; Cards stay In hunt in NL East By United Prat International A1 Oliver broke out of a slump with three RBI and the Tofonto Blue Jays thwarted Phil Niekro's bid for his 300th career victory Friday night with a 3-2 triumph over the New York Yankees. The victory was Toronto's fifth in its last six games and moved the Blue Jays 2 % games ahead of the Yankees at the halfway point of the four-game series between the American League East rivals. New York lost for only the second time in 14 games. Niekro, in his first try, was seeking to become wily the 18th in major-league history to join the 300 club. In his fifth eoomplete game, the 46-year-old permitted just three runs - all unearned - and eight hits while striking out five and walking four. He fell to 15-10 before a disappointed sellout crowd of 53,303. Elsewhere Friday, Cleveland and Minnesota split a doubleheader, with the Indians winning the first game 3-2 and dropping the second 3-1, Baltimore downed Detroit 6-4, and Milwaukee topped Boston 6-3. In later games, Kansas City was at Oakland, Chica­ go at Seattle and Texas at California. In the National League, Tim Wallach went 3-for-3 and drove in two runs Friday night, lifting the Montre­ al Expos to a 5-1 victory over the New York Mets in the first game of a double-header, but the Mets rallied in the nightcap to win, 7-2. / The split left the Mets a half-game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League East, after the Cards defeated the Cubs earlier In the day, 0-3. Bob Forsch, 7-6, earned the victory as St. Louis beat Chicago for the 10th time in 13 games this season. St. Louis, which equaled its season-high of eight stolen bases, was issued 10 walks in the game. Elsewhere, Los Angeles topped Cincinnati 0-2 in the first game of a double-header. The Reds won the nightcap, 6-5. At Cincinnati, Orel Hershiser scattered six hits over eight innings and Mike Marshall hit two home runs to help the Dodgers lower their magic number for clinching the NL West to 15. Hershiser is 15-3. * Cary-Grove kickers blank McHenry, 7-0 CARY -- Cary-Grove im­ proved Its Fox Valley Confer­ ence soccer record to 2-0 with a 7-0 blanking of McHenry Friday afternoon.

"I think we came to a good com­ promise and I'm very satisfied," said Dickerson, who flew with the Rams to Philadelphia for Sunday's game against the Eagles. "I got tired of working out and not playing football. "I don't have any regrets for hold­ ing out." Dickerson will be on the bench Sunday. He is expected to play Mon­ day, Sept. 23 at Seattle. "Good-faith" negotations between the Rams and Dlckerson's represen­ tatives, former heavyweight cham­ pion Ken Norton and Jack Rodrl, will begin Tuesday. The Rams have agreed to cover the running back with a $4 million Insurance policy against injury and - . : - / pay him the $150,000 bonus he for­ feited by not reporting. Dickerson will pay a $1,000 per day fine for his absence. "We're obviously elated that he's back," Rams coach John Robinson said. "We hope that he will have an impact on Sunday (as a cheerlead­ er). It's a very exciting time for us." The Southern Methodist product, the second pick in the 1963 NFL draft, gained 2,105 yards rushing last season, breaking O.J. Simpson's season record of 2,003. Dickerson has two seasons re­ maining on a 4-year, $2.2-million contract he signed before his rookie season. He is seeking a contract extension that would put him in the same class with other top runners, including John Riggins, who will earn a reported $900,000 this season, and Marcus Allen, who reportedly has signed a 4-year, $3.5-million deal. "I can't play football forever,". Dickerson said at a Wednesday news conference where he suggested he might sit out the season. "I don't want to have to play for 10 years to get a big contract. It took me two years to do things some guys didn't do in six years. I'm seeking securi­ ty . I want to l ive my l i fe comfortably." Dickerson maintained Rams vice president John Shaw agreed In June to talk about a contract, then re­ neged on his promise days later. Hie Rams defeated the Denver Broncos last weekend, but an ankle injury to Dickerson's backup, Barry Redden, prompted Robinson to call the holdout "tragic for us and tragic for Eric." Robinson accused Dlckerson's ad­ visers of not looking out for his best interests, but the running back said he was his own man. Facing a long holdout, Dickerson agreed earlier this week to return if the Rams promised to bargain in "good faith." He originally said he would come back only with a signed contract. NEVER BEFORE AT SUCH AN AFFORDABLE PRICE! $ ft- FISHER 95 Mays denies use of 'red juice' By United Press International ATHERTON, Calif. - Hall of Famer Willie Mays, the baseball idol of a generation, has denied us­ ing illegal drugs during his playing days, the San Francisco Examiner reported Friday. On Thursday, retired player John Milner testified before the baseball drug trial in Pittsburgh that he took a liquid amphetamine called "red juice" out of Mays' locker while the two were teammates on the New York Mets in the ealy 1970s. The revelation came during cross- examination on Milner's drug use. Defense attorney Adam Renfroe asked Milner whether "manage­ ment" had given him amphet­ amines, known as "red juice" or "greenles." "Management wasn't giving me greenles or red juice or speed. Willie had the red juice," Milner said. "Did he givetit to you?" "He didn't give it to me. I went Into the locker and got it," said Milner. "You went into Willie Mays' lock­ er and got it?" asked Renfroe. "Wil­ lie Mays?" "The Great One, yes," said Mil­ ner. "I never seen him take it. It was there." Mays, quoted in the newspaper, denied Milner's testimony, saying he never has used Illegal drugs. "(Regl juice) may be a drug. I've heard of it. I think everyone In base­ ball has heard of it," Mays said. "I'd like to say right here and now that I'm very much against all this drug use. I have been a so-called hero of the game since I started playing in the big leagues, and I've tried very hard to keep it that way. "I don't smoke or drink and I carry myself In a certain way. I've tried to be clean." Mays said he was very open with his teammates. He said his locker was "an open book. Anybody could go into my locker because I never had anything to hide." Mays said he did not think a play­ er using drugs could have stayed in the game as long as he did. "My record speaks for Itself," he said. "I never missed a game for misusing my body ... I'm 54 right now and I'm in fairly good shape. I could never have playM like I did if I'd misused my body." In Oct. 1979, Mays was told to disassociate himself from baseball by then Commissioner Bowie Kuhn after signing a 10-year contract with Bally International, a gambling ca­ sino in Atlantic City, N.J. At the time, he had two years left on a 10-year contract with the Mets for whom he was a goodwill ambas­ sador and a part-time coach. He was paid $50,000 a year by the club. Earlier this season, Commissioner Peter Ueberroth reinstated Mays and Mickey Mantle, another former superstar who went to work for a casino.
