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.

Reuschel's victory tied his previous season-high for vic- tories, but he didn't'seem im- pressed with his 14-3 won-lost 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."

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.
