It began on M a y 30 w hen the
M a r in e rs w on b a c k -to -b a c k v ic
tories over Boston and M ilw a u k e e .
It continued through June when they
took tw o out o f three from O akland
and at present (he M ariners are 32-
30 on the season. H e y l These guys
are really playing ball. T h e y ’re get
ting tim ely hits; in fact their drives
have m o stly com e in the late in n
ings. T h e y ’ ve stayed close w ith the
basic c o m b in a tio n o f b a ttin g and
pitching.
W hen i t ’s his turn, it ’s his turn. The
man is always ready.
O n ly tw ic e in his career has he
had to miss as tu rn , and rem em ber,
his career spans better than 20 years.
Most recently the 43-year-old rig h t
hander missed a start in 1979 for the
San D ie g o P a d re s , w hen a back
spasm sidelined him . The only other
lim e he was u n a b le to go was 13
years e a r lie r , in 1966 fo r th e San
F ra n c is c o G ia n ts . P e rry missed
three assignments when he spent 15
days on the shelf because o f torn lig
aments in an a n kle in ju ry suffered
w h ile s lid in g in to a base. A n d a ll
this fro m one called the “ A n c ie n t
M a rin e r.”
G a y lo rd stands 17th on the a ll-
tim e list fo r games w ith 726; h e ’ s
fifth on the games started list at 639.
C y Y o u n g leads w ith 818 s ta rte d ,
w h ily H o y t W ilh e lm heads the a ll-
time games list with 1,070.
T h e M a r in e rs are c u rre n tly on
their longest home stand o f the year
w ith gam es scheduled June 14th
thru 27th.

Lachm an is greatly responsible as he
has p a rla y e d consisten t s ta rtin g
pitching, a spectacular performance
by th e b u llp e n , good d e fe n s iv e
w o r k , and c lu tc h h ittin g in to the
m ost in te re s tin g team in M a r in e r
history.

H e re are a few reasons w hy the
Mariners are on a tear:
Kansas C ity R oyals— June 18-20
for a three-game weekend a ffa ir.
T o ro n to Blue Jays— June 21 -2 3 ,
three games.
Chicago W hite Sox— June 25-27.
The M ariners have outscored the
opposition 30-13 in the ninth inning,
and have tied or won a game in the
ninth 14 times.
In 30 wins in 1982, the M s have
come fro m behind to win 18 times,
14 o f those g a m e -w in n in g runs
scored after the seventh inning.
G A YLO R D PERRY
G a y lo rd P erry, S eattle’ s “ fam ed
A ncient M a r in e r ,” is in the record
books m any times, and his name is
mentioned on the same all-tim e lists
as H a ll o f Earners lik e C y Y o u n g ,
W alter Johnson, G rover Alexander,
etc. N o w in his 2 0 th season in the
m ajo r leagues, G a y lo rd has proven
to be one o f th e m ost d e s ira b le
pitchers in the history o f the game.
H ig h school tra c k and fie ld fo r
1982 in th e states o f O re g o n and
C a lifo r n ia is now h is to ry . But one
can h a rd ly h elp but w o n d e r how
well the Oregon kids would fare in a
meet with the C alifornians. N ot too
good. C a lifo rn ia ’s Dcnean H ow ard ,
whom many think to be the premier
prep sprinter in the country, would
have won the 100, 200 and 400 had
she been an O regonian. She made a
gallant attem pt to be the first ever to
win such a tough trip le. She blazed
the 200 field in 2 3 .5 , then set a na
tional high school m ark as she ran a
52.9 in the 400.
T h e n a fte r o n ly 20 m inutes rest
she trie d to come back in the 100-
meter final. She clocked a blistering
11.3 but finished second.
T h e C e n tra l In tercolleg iate A th
letic C onference is on the offensive
again, charging that its already great
basketball play could be better than
ever next season. A nd to showcase
the talent, the league has announced
that all 14 C IA A teams w ill qualify
fo r the league to u rn am en t Feb. 23-
26 in N o rfo lk , Va.
In past yea rs , o n ly th e to p 10
C IA A teams advanced to the presti
gious to u rn a m e n t, cau sin g m uch
grum bling from the fans and players
o f the teams who were left out.
N ow it ’s a new ball game.
W ith a ll 14 team s s a fe ly in the
field, the C IA A tournament is likely
to b ecom e bigger th a n ever. Last
year, some 37,000 crammed into the
N o rfo lk Scope over a three-day per
iod to watch the to u rn a m e n t. T his
season, even more should watch the
tourney, since it has been stretched
from three days to four.
" T h e big th in g ,” says C IA A pub
licist Jim A ln u ti, "is that with all 14
team s e n te re d , w e ’ ll have people
th ere the firs t day w h o o rd in a rily
might not be there at a ll.”
A ll o f this should com e as good
news to N o rfo ld hotels and restaur

W eaver gone. W eaver, the holder o f
the W B C version o f the heavyweight
title, hasn’t been seen or heard from

W h at those people w ill see at the
tournament is a faster game than the
C IA A has played in (he past.
H ow can that be, you ask, with all
the ru n -a n d -g u n team s in the
C IA A ?
W e ll, it seems not a ll the C IA A
clubs like to toss the ball at the bas
ket as if it were a hot potato. A nd to
ensure that action rem ains speedy,
th e league has a d o p te d the 30-

must be taken w ithin 30 seconds, or
the b a ll w ill be tu rn e d over to the
