BUFFALO TIES SERIES Sabres punch out Philly By The Associated Press BUFFALO - Jerry Korab, Gilbert Perreault and Jim Lor- entz scored second - period goals last night and goalie Gerry Desjardins recovered from a nightmarish perform- ance to give the Buffalo Sabres a 4-2 triumph over the Phila- delphia Flyers and tie their NHL championship series. The goals helped Buffalo come back from deficits of 1-0 and 2-1 and lifted the Sabres to their second consecutive victo- ry. The best-of-seven series, in which each team has won twice at home, now shifts to Phila- delphia for game five Sunday. Korab and Perreault scored on power plays after Andre Dupont had given the Flyers a 1-0 lead in the first period and Philadelphia's Ross Lons- berry had made it 2-1 in the second. After Lonsberry's goal Des- jardins ably redeemed himself from last Tuesday night's weak performance in game three. He h a d permitted Philadelphia three goals on six shots and Fireble Grove dies NORWALK, Ohio {Y'-Robert Moses "Lefty" Grove, a Hall of Fame pitcher who won 300 games in a 17-year major league career, was found dead of a heart attack yesterday. THE 75-year-old Grove was found slumped over in a chair in his Norwalk home by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert Grove, with whom he lived. Grove was known for a siz- zling fastball amd a sizzling temper as well. JIMMY Dykes, a onetime Philadelphia teammate of the great Hall of Fame pitcher, once remembered: "I was his good friend off the field, so I was the only one allowed to go near him on the mound. If his blood pressure was going up, I would get the ball and hold it a While," The Michigan Daily Sports took himself out after one per- iod. With the score 2-2, and Des- jardins holding the fort, Lorentz netted the rebound of a shot by Rick Dudley at 15:07 of the second period to give Buffalo its first lead in any game of the series. Rookie Dan- ny Gare added a goal into Philadelphia's empty net with 32 seconds remaining to clinch the decision. Dupont scored at 11:28 of the first period on 2-foot slap shot for a 1-0 lead the Flyers nursed until Korab tied it for Buffalo at 3:46 of the second. All the while, the fog which had disrupted Tuesday night's game 12 times did not make an appearance until 8:08 remained in the game, when referee Wal- ly Harris called time and arena attendants skated around the surface with bedsheets held in their hands to disperse the fog. Gametime temperatures were in the high 70s and humidity had hovered like a brewing storm over the Memorial Sta- dium sellout crowd of 15,863. Kentucky wins ABA title for the first time LOUISVILLE, Ky.-With Artis Gilmore hitting 28 points, the Kentucky Colonels ended eight years of frustration last evening, beating Indiana 110-105 for their first American Basketball Asso- ciation championship. The Colonels, in wrapping up the series four games to one, had to shake off a pesky Indiana defense that kept the outcome in doubt until the final two minutes. Gilmore was chosen the Most Valuable Player of the series and received a new automobile. High point man for Indiana was Billy Knight with 40, followed by George McGinnis with 31. McGinnis, who suffered an ankle injury in game three, apparently wasn't bothered last night as he was constantly snatching rebounds. With 22 seconds left in the game, Knight hit a free throw to narrow the gap to 108-103 and then collected his 40th point on a shot from the side with 16 seconds remaining. Gilmore was fouled, made both shots and that ended the scoring. Kevin Joyce got 16 for the Pacers and Len Elmore added 16. This was the first year the Colonels played under Coach Hubie Brown, and when action started last night there was no doubt they intended to seek revenge on Indiana, which had knocked them out of the title in the 1972-73 season.
