What a comeback! Willie leads Bucs to Series title, 4-1 BALTIMORE (AP)-Remarkable Willie Stargell cracked a game-winning t'wo-run homer last night to give Pittsburgh a 4-1 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles and make the Pirates only the fourth team to overcome a 3-1 game deficit and take a best-of- seven World Series. Stargell, known affection- ately as "Pops" by the rest of the Pirates, put the third of his four hits for the night over his team's bullpen in the sixth in- ning for his third homer of the 1979 Series. The 38-year-old captain of the Pirates is one of the few players left from the 1971 World Champions who clinched their title exactly eight years ago, also against the Orioles and also in Baltimore. Stargell unloaded against lefthander Scott McGregor, who pitched a courageous game in defeat for the Orioles. In the ninth, Pittsburgh added two wrap-up runs, against a parade of five -Baltimore relief pitchers. Phil Garner opened with a double to left - his 12th hit of the Series - and scored on Omar Moreno's third hit of the game. A single by Tim Foli moved Moreno to third and then Dave Parker and Bill Robinson were hit by pitches, forcing home the final Pirates run. The Series loss, after they had won three of the first four games, was a heartbreaker for the Orioles. They went into a stifling slump after Game Four and never came out of it, snapping a string of 21 scoreless innings with a run in the third. The Orioles' first run in the last 21 innings of Series play gave the AL champions a 1-0 lead after three in- nings. Second baseman Rich Dauer smAshed a first-pitch from Bibby star- ting the third inning into the left field seats for a home run. Garcia singled with two out, but was caught attem- pting to steal. Pittsburgh had threatened in the fourth when with one out Stargell sliced a double into left field that just eluded the gloveof DeCinces,athe backtracking Orioles' third baseman. Madlock was safe on a fielder's choice and, when shortstop Garcia tried for Stargell at ' third and threw late for an errors, the Pirates had runners at the corners with one out. But Nicosia lined to second baseman Dauer and Garner popped up to first. Don Robinson. replaced Bibby, who left for a pinch-hitter in the Pirates' fif- th, at the start of the Orioles' fifth. The Pirates led 2-1 after six innings on a moon-shot home run by Stargell. Parker started the sixth by grounding out, but Bill Robinson singled to left. Stargell then slammed McGregor's fir- st pitch high and beyond the bullpen in right field for a two-run homer that sent the Bucs ahead. McGregor retired the next two batters but the damage was done.

Believe it or not, there was a time when only six teams played in the National Hockey League. Due to expansion, however, that era has passed as 21 teams currently play in the league. In the Conn Symthe Division, the addition of former World Hockey Association members Edmonton and Winnipeg guarantees some changes for the division. But the quality of play, regrettably, will remain at the same low level. And it would not be too outrageous to believe that the last place teams of the other three divisions (Patrick, Norris and Adams) will have more points than the number one club in this group. The division is that weak. VANCOUVER CANUCKS-Forty-goal scorer Ron Sedlbauer and Swedish import Tom Gradin lead the offense. The Canuck defense is relying heavily on Dennis Kearns, Harold Snepsts and young Kevin McCarthy. It is goaltending that will carry Vancouver to the top this season. Should Glen Hanlon perform as well as he did a year ago before being hurt, the Canucks could be the surprise team of the league. EDMONTON OILERS-Edmonton, the World Hockey Association's regular-season champion in 1978-79, should hold its own with 19-year-old phenom Wayne Gretzky leading the offense. As with Vancouver, however, the key to the Oilers success may depend on how well goalies Dave Dryden and Pete Lopresti perform. The defense has possibilities, with Lee Fogolin, Pat Price and Colin Campbell all picked up in the expansion draft. CHICAGO BLACK HAWKS-This team has been quite dull in the recent past. Hopefully for Chicago and new coach Eddie Johnston, WHA refugees Terry Ruskowski and' Rich Preston will change that image. Without goalie Tony Esposito, the Black Hawks would be lucky to finish fourth. Their defen- se is only average and the offense is hardly explosive. ST. LOUIS BLUES-In Bernie Federko, Brian Sutter and Wayne Babych, St. Louis has one of the best lines in the league. But that's about all the Blues have. No. 1 draft pick Perry Turnball and the return of Chuck Lefley could help, although he will miss the first month of the season because of a shoulder injury. Defensively, coach Barclay Plager is looking for im- provement from newcomers (like former Red Wing Rick Lapointe) while youngsters Ed Staniowski and Mike Liut will be entrusted with the goalten- ding. COLORADO ROCKIES-The biggest test for new coach Don Cherry will be to maintain his glib sense of humor for the season. The Rockies are not the Boston Bruins, Cherry's former team. There is some talent, primarily in defenseman Barry Beck and NO. 1 draft pick Rob Ramage, along with right wing Wilf Paiement. Unfortunately for the Rockies, that's where the talent ends. WINNIPEG JETS-Coach Tommy McVie, who struggled for so many years with the Washington Capitals, should feel at home with Winnipeg. He may have been better off staying with the improving Capitals. Morris Lukowich, Peter Sullivan and Peter Marsh will provide some scoring, but not much more. NBA Boston 127, Cleveland 108 Philadelphia1 1,New .Jersey 88 Washington 100, Atlanta 97 Golden State 107.

Unless, of cour- se, one would consider a high school valedictorian, who is the number one harrier on the women's team as a freshman to be flaky. Coach Ken Simmons stated unequivocally, "She's by far the superior runner of our whole group. She's a smooth runner. Her mechanics are very good. A year ago she wasn't such a good runner, but she has a very competitive attitude, and she's really serious about training." LAST SATURDAY in the Western Michigan Invitational at Kalamazoo, Weaver finished second for the third straight time, two of the second places coming behind Bowling Green's Becky Dobson. She did capture a first place in her first college competition on Sep- tember 15 in the Central Michigan In- vitational at Kalamazoo. Simmons has Weaver practicing at least once a week with the men's team. Japanese family involved in an ex- change program. "It was very dif- ferent, but I loved it," Weaver said. "That was probably the greatest thing in my life so far." IT'S NO WONDER that Sinmons is thrilled to have her at Michigan. "She's a very brilliant girl. She could have gone anywhere in the United States for a full ride, but she wanted to come to Michigan. She's got a great future." Weaver is perfectly content with her choice of schools, "We get along really well on the team. Everybody's really nice, and it's a close feeling. It makes it (running) enjoyable." But Simmons hedges on the obvious question of whether a standout fresh- man can eventually be a national championship contender. "I don't know if she has that kind of ability, but she's a very hard worker. She just needs another year, and she will be one of the top runners in the Big Ten." Fr1eFlrl~i Weaver will be tested this weekend in the Big Ten Championship at Iowa City. Simmons realizes the stiff competition of Big Ten cross country, but hopes that his freshman ace will finish in the top seven, or better. Weaver isn't quite as optimistic. "I just hope I can be in the top ten," she said. And after the Big Ten meet? "I'm just experimenting. I at least want to feel after the big races that I've done my best. Then I can go from there and improve on it next year." . Thono ' Company is now open for B'usiness. 514 E. Washington 11 AM-2 AM 996-0555 Lunch & Dinner -qq!
