     APparently, the post didn't work last time, so...

Wednesday, April 4
A.L. scores:
Baltimore 8, Washington 2; WP: Cuellar; LP: Hough; Sierra's pinch-HR only
runs for Senators; McDowell 0-for-7 as leadoff man, looks terrible.  Martin
says he's one game away from being demoted for Del Unser, who doesn't even
hit leadoff!

--------------------------------------------------------------------  
     Stars:  Turkey Stearnes had troubles in center, but he did knock in 2
runs and score the game-winner on Harold Baines' double...Christobel
Torriente may be moved ahead of Schmidt in the batting order...Babe Herman
launched a pinch-homer with two out in the ninth off Carl Hubbell to make a
winner of Fernando.  King Carl later said that "when he's right, Fernando
might be as good as I am."

Houston - I chatted with Spots Poles before batting practice today.  He
expressed a desire to enter the Hall of Fame, but knew it wouldn't be easy.
     "I consider myself a Richie Ashburn-type player, and he's not in there.
That's one reason I'm glad I'm here.  Running is a lot easier on the rug, and I
think speed is my greatest asset."
     I wondered about the rest of the team.  "Will they also run like crazy?"
     "We hope to grab over 300 - that's the only way we can be competitive."
     That night, Thurm Munson caught three of six Astros stealing, but Jim
Winn produced a homer, and Jose Cruz' two doubles propelled them to the
win.  Poles looks primed to challenge for the stolen base crown - he's not as
fast as Bell, but he makes up for it with sheer intelligence - two hours
after the game, he was still studying the motions of Cincinnati's hurlers.
He'll need every edge against Johnny Bench.
