Walton to try again in SD
PORTLAND (AP) - Bill Walton, the 6-foot-11
center who led the Portland Trail Blazers to the
National Basketball Association championship in
1977, will play part-time for the San Diego Clip
pers this fall, General Manager Ted Podleski said
Wednesday
“We don't want him to play that much,’’
Podleski said in a telephone interview with The
Oregonian newspaper. "We want to go slow and
hope that in January he can play three times a
week.’’
Walton, who has suffered a rash of foot injuries,
was in San Diego Wednesday undergoing team
physicals
Podleski said he changed his mind in deciding
to let Walton play. Walton had told the Clippers he
would try to play one game a week during the
1982-83 season, but Podleski balked at that
"Then I spent more time with Bill and we
debated it," he said. "One day my wife saw how I
was laboring over it and said, Are you thinking
about Bill as a person or as a player?’

Baseball
Time is running out
Giants 6, Astros 1; Braves 4, Dodgers 3
LOS ANGELES (AP) - With
time running out, the Atlanta
Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers
and San Francisco Giants
remain locked in baseball’s
tightest division race — a
three-way battle for survival
that could force a playoff for
the National League West
crown
The three teams went into
the last five days of the
National League West battle
separated by only two games
and by Sunday they all could
be deadlocked foir the title,
forcing playoffs for the playoff
berth against St. Louis, the NL
East champ
All three clubs are united by
memories of the hot and cold
streaks that have kept their
race alive
The Braves defeated the
hapless Dodgers by 1 run in 12
innings Wednesday night It
was the eighth straight loss by
the Dodgers pushing them two
games behind the Braves The
Giants had a fairly easy time
with the Astros Wednesday
night, downing them 6-1
Atlanta, division leader for
more than four months, went
through its dry spell in August
when the Braves lost 19 of 21
games to fall out of first place
Now it's the Dodgers' turn to
suffer — with a losing streak
that reached seven games
Tuesday night Los Angeles
scored just 13 runs in those
seven games
“I feel like we re on a
march,” said Atlanta's Terry
Harper, whose three-run
double led the Braves in their
8-3 victory over the Giants
Tuesday night
"This is just a test of how
strong we are," said Dodger
outfielder Dusty Baker And if
any team in recent baseball
history has shown it can
recover when things look
hopeless it is the Dodgers
Three times they came back
from early deficits to win the
NL West mini-series, NL
championship series and
World Series a year ago
The Giants, an early season
bust, rallied with baseball's
best record since the All-Star
game to pull within one game
of first place on Sunday only to
lose two straight to Atlanta
drop back — but not too far
