"It was almost as if I 01won it already. They took away ne of thre surprise." It was Guidry himself who destroyed e suspense that usually accompanies il post-season award. The slender left- ander compiled an awesome 25-3 acord that included a 1.74 earned run verage, the lowest by an AL Left- ander since Dutch Leonard's 1.0.1 in 914. lHe had nine shutouts, tying the AL ecord set by Babe Ruth in 1916. His .893 rinning percentage was the highest in aseball history by a 20-game winner. Those are impeccable Cy Young redentials, and Guidry was only the econd unanimous winner in.

"Jim and I have done pitching and hitting like what hasn't been done before," said Guidry. "One of us will get the MVP and the other will get a pat on the back." What if the MVP vote ends in a tie? Would sharing the MVP bother Guidry? "No, that would be fine with me," he said. "But you'd better clear it with Jim first." Guidry was asked if he ever thought he could produce the kind of year he had. "I've read stories about great seasons that pitchers have had in the past," he said. "I wondered to myself what it would be like. Now I know." The problem with the kind of season Guidry had in 1978 is what he does for an encore next year. "I'm going to approach next year the same way I did this season," he said. "My goal will be to get New York to the WorldSeries again. "A season like mine comes along only once in a while. I hope the people un- derstand that. But if I lose five or six games, they might say I'm in a decline." Just then, Guidry's City Hall career declined. "The mayor wants to know when he can have his chair back," he said with a laugh. NFL tidbits CINCINNATI - Two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin is on the bench, suffering from a sore toe and wounded pride. Griffin, a first-round draft choice three years ago, has slipped into a reserve running back role with the Cin- cinnati Bengals after the team opened the National Football League season with eight straight losses. The former Ohio State ground- gaining star was used only on kickoff returns last Sunday in Cincinnati's first victory, a 28-13 triumph over the Houston Oilers. Coach Homer Rice said Griffin was held back to give his hyper-extended big toe more time to heal. Griffin wasn't -happy with the decision. "I don't want anything derogatory in the paper. But if they were trying to rest me, they should've rested me during practice last week," Griffin said. "I could've played. Instead of the usual starting back- field of Griffin and Pete Johnson, Rice went with Boobie Clark and Lenvil Elliott. The decision resulted in the Bengals' top rushing effort of the year -198 yards. Rookie running back David Turner came off the bench and reeled off a 65- yard run that set up a Cincinnati touch- down. Griffin was scheduled to visit a foot Young- specialist Wednesday. He sustained the injury. six weeks ago against New Orleans. Meanwhile, in Miami, Garo Yepremian says Don Strock, "my best friend," let him down. The Miami Dolphins' veteran placekicker still was -shaking his head sadly Wednesday as he recalled how Strock turned his back on their frien- dship - and Yepremian's pass- catching ability - in last Sunday's 26-8 victory over Baltimore. Late in the first half, the Dolphins lined up for a field goal attempt. But Strock grabbed the snap, rolled right, and fired a seven-yard touchdown pass to defensive end Vern Den Herder, lined up at tight end. It was the first touchdown of Den Herder's eight-year career, but Yepremian said it could have just as easily been the first touchdown in his 11 years. "I was wide open. It was my chance to demonstrate that my receiving is as good as my passing," Yepremian said. SHORT or LONG Haircutting By Experts DASCOLA STYLISTS Arborland-971-9975 Maple Village-761-2733 E.
