REUSCHEL BAGS 14th
Cubs blank
CHICAGO (A)-Rick Reuschel
tilenced slumping Cincinnati on
five hits to become the first 14-
game winner in the National
'eague as the Chicago Cubs
banked the Reds 3-0,yesterday.
Jose Cardenal cracked a
home run and a double, scor-
ing two runs, to back Reu-
schel, who never has won
more than 14 games in five
previous seasons with the
Cubs.
Reuschel, 14-3, hurled his sec-
nd straight shutout and stretch-
ed his string of shutout innings
at home to 343.
The world champion Reds,
who didn't get a runner past
first base until the sixth inning,
dropped their eighth straight
game and are just one game
above .500 at 48-47.
The Cubs struck early
against loser Fred Norman,
9-7. Cardenal started the first
with a double and scored on
Larry Biittner's triple down
the right field line.
Cardenal hammered his sec-
and home run of the season and
first since April 27 in the fifth.
After Cincinnati put runners
on second and third with two
outs in the sixth but failed to
score, the Cubs scratched out a
run in their half of the inning.
Jerry Morales lifted a pop
fly that fell among three Reds
in short right. He slid under
the tag for a double. Morales
moved up on a sacrifice bunt
by Steve Ontiveros and scored
when George Mitterwald leg-
ged out a grounder to deep
shortstop.
Reuschel, who is 9-0 at home
this season and has won eight
of his last nine decisions, tossed
his fourth complete game shut-
out of the season. He has shared
two others with relievers.
Reuschel became the second
major league pitcher to win 14
games this season. Nolan Ryan
of the California Angels won his
14th game Monday night in be-
coming the f i r a t American
Leaguer to accomplish the feat.
Except for the sixth inning,
the Reds couldn't touch Reu-
schel, who struck out six and
walked none.
Norman struck out and Pete
Rose flied to left in the sixth
before Ken Griffey, who had
singled in the first, lashed a
double to left. Joe Morgan then
hit a bouncer behind second
base.

record or his role as stopper for
a faltering Cubs' pitching staff.
"I just go out when it's my
turn and try to de the best
job I can," he said after fir-
ing his second shutout in five
days. "My objective is to play
in the World Series, at least
in the playoffs."

During one of my checkups, the doctors found a spot on my
lungs. I thought it might be cancer. So did they.
Luckily, it wasn't. Most people are lucky. Most people
never have cancer.
But those who find they do have cancer are far better off
if their cancer is discovered early. Because we know how to
cure many cancers when we disaoer them early.
That's why I want you to have a checkup. And keep
having checkups. The rest of your life.
It'll be a lot longer if you do.
