Still Fernandez's performance on the mound Wednesday resulted in another sweet victory for the New York Mets. The rookie hurler, working on only three-day-s rest, went five innings to improve his record to 3-- 0 V and Darryl Strawberry hit his 16th homer and drove in four runs to lead the Mets to a triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. The victory was New York's sixth straight and 16th in its last 19 games. It kept the Mets 3 Vi games ahead of Chicago in the National League East. Despite being undefeated in three starts since being called up from Tidewater of the International League after the break, not everyone is sold on Fernandez. "I still get the impression that people don't think I can do it up here," said Fernandez. "A lot of people say to 9-- 3 All-St- themselves, 'This kid's just lucky.'" Fernandez, who allowed four hits and three runs while striking out five Wednesday, has always had control problems, but since being promoted he hasn't experienced any. "I'm averaging a strikeout an inning and that's pretty good in the big leagues," said the hefty Hawaiian.

Like a child counting down the final days before Christmas, the massive sprawl by the sea is beginning to sense the imminent arrival of the Summer Olympics. An unmistakable feeling of anticipation accompanied the following developments Wednesday: Speculation grew that Ro- begin Olympic play Monday against Yugoslavia, finished with exhibition record.

Both the men's and the women's United States basketball teams played their final tuneup games. Sprint star Evelyn Ashford track starred in a and field meet. The American flag was raised on the campus of the University of Southern California, Ueberroth was scheduled for today, fueling speculation that Ueberroth might break the tradition that only athletes born in the host country light the flame. Other indications were that former Olympic heroes Rater Johnson and Bill Toomey would share the honor. Ashford, who pulled a pulled hamstring during the trials, appeared fully recovered in running a leg on the winning relay team. Ashford will run the dash, but relay and the her injury kept her out of the 200 meters. 400-met- 100-met- er 0 record. Hightower failed to make the Olympic team, finishing fourth in a four-wa- y blanket finish at the trials. She won Wednesday night's race in the time of 12.98 seconds, defeating Olympians Kim Turner and Benita Fitzgerald. Officials who have planned traffic control for the Olympics said traffic was reduced from its normal levels during rush hours Friday and Monday, apparently as a result of Los Angeles residents heeding the requests from state and local police agencies. "We've put too much effort into this for it to fail," said Capt. Ernie Curtsinger of the Los Angeles Police Department. "Our plans will not fail. We will not have gridlock on our freeway system and on our roads. The word 'gridlock' is not in our vocabu- More Olympic Stories serving as one of three housing villages for athletes. And the United States boxing team made its excitement public at a news conference. "You just walk into the village and you get excited." said Robert Shannon, the only member of the U.S. 1980 Olympic boxing team to be a part of the 1984 squad. "'It is a different atmosphere from anything I have ever felt. You can tell by the security that this is different. It is somethinr I will always remember.

Don Hull president ot the International Amateur Boxing Federation planned to propose to his organization Thursday that Soviet and East Germany judges not be allowed to work Olympic bouts involving American fight- ers. The International Olympic Com- mittee put off a critical decision on possible sanctions of boycotting countries. The IOC, conducting its traditional meeting, was prepared to debate the issue of sanctions against boycotting nations. But that debate was postponed until a specially called meeting in October or November at IOC headquarters in Switzerland. SANTA ROSA, Calif. (UPI) -Dave Casper is back with the Raiders. o tight Casper, a former end recently released by the Minnesota Vikings, arrived at the Los Angeles Raiders training camp Wednesday and joined the team's afternoon workouts. The Casper, who signed as a free agent, was acquired primarily because starter Todd Christensen has been holding out for more money. Christensen, a BYU football product and in the second year of a three-yea- r contract, is being fined $1,000 a day until he reports and currently owes $7,000, Coach Tom Flores said. All-Pr- Casper was drafted by the then Oakland Raiders in second round of 1974. He was traded to Houston in 1980. The Oilers traded Casper and quarterback Archie Manning to Minnesota in 1983. He was an All-Pr- o with the Raiders from 1976 through 1978. In the 1976 Super Bowl season, he caught 53 passes, 10 for touchdowns. Casper said he had talked with Bum Phillips of New Orleans before deciding to return to the Raiders. "I gave them very serious consideration," Casper said of the Saints, but the former Notre Dame standout said he felt more comfortable with the Raiders. Karl's Name Tops For Cleveland Job RICHFIELD, Ohio (UPI) -The Cleveland Cavaliers held a news conference today at press time and were expected to end a search by naming Cavs director of player personnel George Karl as their new head coach. See earlier story on Page 7. Reports indicate that Karl is the very strong candidate for the position, but team general manager Harry Weltman continued to politely but firmly decline comment on the matter. Also in the running to replace the fired Tom Nissalke is Detroit two-mon- th Pistons assistant coach Dick Harter and Utah Jazz assistant coach Phil Johnson. "As I've said, the new coach will be someone with current NBA experience," Weltman said Wednesday. "Those three names you have mentioned each has that qualification." The Karl joined the Cavs last season after coaching the Montana Golden Nuggets of the Continental Basketball Association from 1980 to 1983. Prior to that, he was an assistant coach with San Antonio of the NBA from 1978 to 1980. NCAA Appeals Ruling LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) -The National Collegiate Athletic Association has appealed a state judge's ruling that the NCAA failed to give University of Nevada, Las Vegas basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian due process when the college sports body suspended the coach for two years in 1977. The motion filed Wednesday in federal court by attorney David Goldwater was an attempt to overturn Nevada District judge Paul Goldman's permanent in- the NCAA junction preventing " ' '!.. highly suc cessful basketball coacn. The attorney argued that Judge Goldman's June 25 ruling went against the "greater weight of the credible evidence in the case." The NCAA asserted Tarkanian and UNLV received due process in hearings before the NCAA Infractions Committee and a subsequent appeal to the NCAA Council. Tarkanian's counsel argued, and the state judge agreed, that NCAA investigator David Berst showed bias and conducted a detta against Tarkanian. ven- |
