     Stars: Nolan Ryan fanned eleven Athletics, but his performance for
Houston was far more dazzling - one walk, fourteen Ks, two hits allowed.
Unfortunately for him, Paige fanned thirteen, walked none, and allowed no
stolen bases in prevailing 1-0...Frank Baker collected four hits and scored
four runs versus Ryan; the A's only had six total hits...Greg Swindell struck
Lance Parrish out and induced a ground ball from Brooks Robinson with the
bases loaded in the ninth, but it went for naught.

Montreal - I finally got a chance to observe James Bell running wildly in a
game situation - he swiped two, and Gary Carter didn't bother to throw on
one of them.  He explained that "Williams has a fairly high leg kick, so he's
somewhat easy to run on; the big trick is lulling him to sleep by pretending
not to be running."  Incidentally, with several off days, the Cubs started
Mordecai Brown and brought Negro Leaguer Dick Redding in to pitch the tenth
and eleventh, thereby providing him with a win.  Montreal pulled Williams
after eight and a third, since he had gone thirteen earlier.
     Perhaps the most interesting fact was that the first three hitters
collected all of Montreal's hits.  The six through eight hitters have been
struggling mightily, and it seems that - when a team has trouble at one spot
in the lineup - it spills backwards.  Pitchers won't give Gary Carter, the
fifth hitter, anything good to hit because they "know" they can get the sixth
place hitter out.  Then, the cleanup man on such a team puts more pressure
on himself to do it all because he knows that the batter following him won't
receive anything good to hit, and thus won't be as likely to knock a runner
home.
     In other news, Ty Cobb began a five -game suspension for charging the
mound against Steve Busby.  Charlie Gehringer led off and collected two
hits, scoring once.  Sam Crawford played a flawless centerfield.
