Friday night showdown
WBC World Welterweight Boxing Champion, Sugar Ray
Leonard (lett) puts his title on the line for the second time
Friday night in Olympic Stadium in Montreal against the
number one ranked Welterweight in the world, Roberto Duran,
of Panama. Leonard successfully defended his crown earlier,
knocking out England's Davey "Boy" Green in four rounds.
Duran, once the World Lightweight Champ, relinquished his
title after defending it 12 times, to fight in the welterweight
class. Friday's fight will only be broadcast via closed circuit
television.

Leonard-Duran ready
despite pre-fight talk

AP Sports Writer
MONTREAL (AP) - A
strenuous, two-hour heart
checkup undergone by Roberto
Duran and Sugar Ray
Leonard’s announcement that
he had had a virus on and off for
a week have fired the
speculation and rumors that
are a part of any major fight.
And their scheduled 15-round
bout Friday night at Olympic
Stadium, for Leonard’s World
Boxing Council welterweight
championship, is a major fight
on the key levels of money, fan
anticipation and skill of the
fighters.
"There will be a press con-
ference to explain why he will
not be with us this afternoon,”
was the announcement over the
public address system Tuesday
at the Paul Sauve Centre where
Duran was to train.
Reporters and cameramen
started to hustle and push their
way to the site of the news
conference when Duran made a
dramatic entrance, quickly
turning the boos of disap-
pointed fans into cheers.

Quirk' of fate
defeats Rangers
By DOUG TUCKER
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -
The bases were loaded and the
score was tied in the bottom of
the ninth and Jamie Quirk
knew he might never come this
way again. -*«
,‘‘I don’t get many chances
like that and I didn’t want to
blow it,” said Quirk, a left-
handed hitter and seldom-used
utility infielder whose sense of
humor has never flagged
despite his flagging career.
After fouling off five or six
pitches on a 1-2 count against
flame-throwing Texas
righthander Jim Kern, Quirk
swung at an inside pitch and
cracked his bat. He retrieved
another, wiped pine tar on the
handle, and stepped back into
Track and field
association set
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -
Similar to their big brothers in
baseball, professional football,
hockey, tennis and golf, track
and field athletes have formed
an association. And in their
brief five-week history, they
believe they have made some
major accomplishments.
Called simply The
Association of Track and Field
Athletes, the group, comprised
of American and foreign
competitors, either active or
retired, already numbers
approximately 150.
And it expects to pad its
membership considerably
during the U.S. Olympic Track
and Field Trials June 21-29 at
the University of Oregon’s
Hayward Field.
No officers have been elected
yet, but middle distance runner
Craig Masback, sprinter John
Smith and long jumper Henry
Hines are serving as acting
directors. Elections probably
wil be held at the group’s next
meeting, June 26, the one day of
rest during the trials.
the box. After still another foul,
he lifted a fly ball into medium
center field and pinch runner
German Barranca raced home
from third to give the Kansas
City Royals a 3-2 victory.
“I knew he was going to stay
inside and try to jam- me,
because that’s the best way to
get a ground ball and a play at
the plate*' said Quirk. “I was
just trying to hit a fly ball to the
outfield. I kept telling myself,
‘Don’t swing at a ball. Just
swing at strikes.”
Willie Aikens singled off
starter Gaylord Perry, 3-6,
leading off the ninth and Amos
Otis greeted reliever Kern with
an opposite-field double,
sending pinch runner Barranca
to third. Still with none out, the
Rangers elected to walk Clint
Hurdle and face Quirk.
“I was a little bit surprised
they didn't bring in (lefthanded
Sparky) Lyle to pitch to me,”
Quirk said. “I guess they
figured it was best to let me
come to bat and goof up.”
Breaking the bat turned out
to be a lucky break, he said.
“I was glad he broke the bat
because it didn't have enough
pine tar on it. And in the
American League you can’t go
back for more ”
Quirk was filling in at third
base for injured all-star George
Brett. Earlier in the season he
spelled all-star catcher Darrell
Porter. '
"In April they asked me to
replace Darrell Porter, then
comes June and they ask me to
replace George Brett,” said
Quirk. “You can’t do either
one, so I figured I’d better win
the game.”
Perry scattered nine hits
minutes of rope-skipping. He
left the arena, his arms raised
in a sign of triumph, a picture
of health.
A few minutes later, at a
news conference not attended
by Duran, it was announced
that an EKG given the
challenger last Thursday had
not satisfied the Montreal
Athletic Commission and that
he had undergone a two-hour
examination Tuesday morning
at the Institute of Cardiology
here. That information was
quickly followed by the an-
nouncement that Duran was in
perfect health.
About 1 Ms hours earlier,
Leonard said at a press con-
ference following a light
workout that “I had a slight
virus, nothing serious. I had it
on and off for about a week, but
it’s no problem now. I had no
fever at all, just a little sore
throat. That’s all. It’s no
problem now.”
I Leonard said his weight was
fine, about 148, just one pound
over the welterweight limit.
Bob Arum, who is co-
promoting the closed circuit
telecast with Don King, said
closed circuit ticket sales were
doing so well that he wished
there were more locations.
There are 1.6 million seats at
310 locations in the United
States and Canada, according
to Arum, who also said the live
gate ticket sale passed 30,000
Tuesday,
The Olympic Stadium seats-
77,263 for boxing. It is
calculated that 41.000 tickets
must be sold for the Olympic
Installations Board, operator of
the stadium, to break even. A
sellout would bring a game of
$7.5 million.
The Olympic Installations
Board paid $3.5 million for the
rights to the live gate, and that
$3.5 million went to Leonard.
With his share of other
revenues, Leonard could gross
a record $8 million to $10
million, according to Arum.
Muhammad Ali’s biggest
payday is believed to have been
the $6 million he got for fighting
Ken Norton in New York's
Yankee Stadium in 1976. Duran
is expected to clear about $1.5
million.
Houston wins 7-1;
J.R.'s streak ends
By JOE MOOSHIL
AP Sports Writer
CHICAGO (AP) - J.R.
Richard didn’t have much time
to think about his string of
scoreless innings which ended
quickly Tuesday, but that’s
about all the success the
Chicago Cubs had as Richard
and Joaquin Andujar pitched
the Houston Astros to a three-
hit 7-1 victory.
Doubles by Ivan De Jesus
and Bill Buckner in the first
inning put an end to 32 scoreless
innings for Richard, which
included three straight shutout
victories.
“It’s over, no sense in
worrying about,” said Richard.
“Sure I thought about it and I
thought about Don Drysdale’s
record (58.2 innings and six
consecutive shutouts in 1968),
but ail I can do now is start over
again.”
Richard, 9-3, didn’t allow
another hit and struck out eight
before leaving the game after
five innings and Andujar
finished to earn his second
save. Andujar allowed one
scratch hit, an infield single by
Jerry Martin with two outs in
the ninth. Richard complained
of a “dead” arm and didn’t
before he was relieved by Kern, start the sixth, but insisted It
“I don’t know what Gaylord’s was nothing to worry about.
problem is,” said Ranger
Manager Pat Corrales. “He
said he was tired in the eighth. I
hate to keep putting so much
pressure on our staff but we’ve
got so many problems. Gaylord
looked good, but what good
does it do considering we lost
again.”
“I don’t think I’ll miss a
turn,” said Richard. “I like to
finish what I start, but there’s
no need to go out and hurt
myself because of one
ballgame. Anyway, that’s why
we have a bullpen and it’s a
dam good bullpen.”
-The Astros jumped to an
early six-run lead. They scored
three in the first on a single by
Enos Cabell and a run-scoring
single by Alan Ashby and they
added three more in the second
on Jose Cruz’s No. 3 homer.
Richard doubled in the third
and scored on a single by Terr)’
Puhl, who then stole second.
Puhl’s steal with a six-run lead
incensed the Cubs.
When Puhl came to bat in the
sixth, reliever Doug Capilia hit
him in the back with a pitch and
later said, “I didn't want to hit
him in the cocoanut. But if I had
missed, I would have thrown at
him again.”
Andujar then sent Mike
Tyson sprawling in the seventh
and when Andujar came to bat
in the eighth, he was forced to
hit the deck on a pitch by Bill
Caudill.
Umptre Gerry Crawford
warned Caudill, who proceeded
to strike out Andujar, who also
received a warning by
Crawford.
"Id have gone after him
again, but Im not a rich man,”
said Caudill, aware that
another brushback pitch would
cost him a fine.
“The umpire told me not to
do it,” said Andujar of possible
retaliation, “or I'm out of the
game.”
Cubs Manager Preston
Gomez admitted he had or-
dered Capilia to throw at Puhl
and Caudill to throw at An-
dujar.
“If they get fined, I’d pay the
fines,” said Gomez, apparently
trying to rouse his club, which
has lost 11 of its last 15 games.

Nyad sets sights
on ultimate test

Diana Nyad wants to reach one
more shore before retirement
In August 1981, she will at-
tempt to become the first
person to swim across the
Aegean Sea, a 100-mile stretch
from the mainland of Greece to
the "island of Chios
She will be capping a career
with what might be the
ultimate endurance test.
“My manager and my
friends say you don’t need tlss
swim. But I’ve always had this
thing about doing 100 miles.
That’s what I want before I
retire,” said Nyad, in Las
Vegas this week to participate
in the Dewar's Sports Celebrity
Tennis Tournament.
The 30-year-old Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla. native
achieved international acclaim
last August by becoming the
first person to swim the 89-mile
straits between the Bahamas
and Florida.
The feat ranks as the longest
swim ever in open water. In.

fpur times longer than the
distance Gertrude Ederie of the
U.S. covered when she shocked
the world in 1926 by conquering
the English Channel in 14 boors
and 34 minutes.
Nyad clearly thrives on a
challenge.
Covering great distances in
water has been an obamion
with her since 1973, when she
began competing in marathon
swims throughout the world.
Her accomplishments in-
clude swims acroas Lake
