(AP)- Steve Garvey, baseball's quintessential good guy and one of the game's great clutch hitters, retired yesterday after 17 years in the major leagues. He spent the last five with the San Diego Padres. "This is in many ways the toughest day of my life. In other ways, it's quite exciting," said Garvey, a first baseman who starred 12 years for the Los Angeles Dodgers before joining the Padres as a free agent in December 1982. He had been on the disabled list since May 30 with a torn bicep tendon near his left shoulder, an injury that required reconstructive surgery. A lifetime .294 hitter, Garvey batted .211 with one home run and nine runs batted in in 27 games last season before being sidelined. Garvey, a 10-time All-Star who enjoyed a tremendous fan following because he was so obliging to fan and charity requests, said the injury that cut short his 1987 season also influenced his decision to retire. "It's a retirement that is decided upon almost involuntarily because of the severe injury that I had," Garvey said. "It's an injury that has taken much longer to heal than I expected. It's an injury that over the last four of five weeks has come along very slowly." Garvey wasn't offered a 1988 contract by the Padres and became a free agent in November. He had hoped to play one more season and held several preliminary discussions with the Dodgers as well as the Padres, who invited him to spring training as a non-roster player. But the slowness of the rehabilitation forced him to change his mind. Depaul guard ht trouble CHICAGO (AP)- Guard Rod R ENT A REFRIGERATOR LOWEST PRICES PHONE 1-800-333-9966 FREE PHONE CALL FREE DELIVERY UNIVERSITY RENTAL SERVICE Strickland, already benched from Depaul's starting lineup for missing basketball practice, has been ordered to appear in court next week on a battery charge. In a police report filed Jan. 6, an unidentified dorm guard at Depaul charged that Strickland pushed him in the face and shoved a small Christmas tree at him after he refused to give Strickland a pass key early New Year's day. "No comment," Strickland said, when asked if he would show up next Tuesday to defend himself in court. The guard told police he refused to give Strickland the pass key under a dorm policy that no student be loaned a key during the holidays. Strickland denied that any punches were thrown. Depaul Coach Joey Meyer also refused to discuss details of the incident. "Rod and I have talked about what happened that night, but while it's still pending, I'm not at liberty to discuss it," Meyer said on Tuesday. Strickland will play tonight when the Blue Demons host Dayton, but will not start because he failed to show up at practice Monday, Meyer said. Strickland did work out with the team the following day, after a peace conference with Meyer. "He said he wasn't prepared mentally to come to practice," Meyer said. "It wasn't the smartest thing not to show up." Tim Stephens, the Depaul sports information director, said Strickland will not comment on the matter "until some future date." NEW YORK (AP)- Jim Nill had a goal and three assists as the Detroit Red Wings extended their NHL winning streak to four games by beating the New York Rangers, 7-4, last night. Lee Norwood, who also had two assists, broke a 2-2 tie at 8:58 of the first period and put Detroit in front to stay. Nill, acquired last weekend from Winnipeg, put Detroit in front just 49 seconds into the game as he beat goalie John Vanbiesbrouck with a 25-foot shot through a screen. Only 45 seconds later, Mel Bridgman made it 2-0, jamming Mike O'Connell's rebound into the net. JOHN OGRODNICK fired a 40-footer from along the left wing boards through a screen a n d between Red Wings goalie Glen Hanlon's legs at 3:21. Walt Poddubny scored his 28th goal of the season to tie it at 8:44. Poddubny banged in Tomas Sandstrom's rebound two seconds after a Rangers power play had expired. But, 14 seconds later, Norwood scored the go-ahead goal. He converted on a breakaway with a 10-foot shot. Bob Probert extended Detroit's lead to 4-2 with his 20th goal on a power play at 4:52 of the second period. Joe Murphy connected at 6:47, putting a 10-foot shot over Vanbiesbrouck, making it 5-2. Ulf Dahlen scored the first of his two goals at 14:21 with a 15- Rangers footer over Hanlon's glove to cut Detroit's lead to 5-3. He beat Hanlon again at 8:26 of the third period, converting a 2-on-1 break with a 25-foot shot. Brent Ashton restored the Red Wings two-goal lead only 35 seconds later as he got his 14th goal with a backhander past Vanbiesbrouck. Nill picked up his third assist on the goal. Adam Oates scored the final goal of the game for the R e d Wings, who are now 21-16-5 on the season. The Rangers, who are 0-3-1 in their last four games, played without coach Michel Bergeron, who was hospitalized with a probable case of food poisoning. Charles Thiffault, Begeron's assist, coached the team. 6-hick pS RECREATIONAL andA SPORTS Hey, What's Your Name? Write it down for an interview time at 4003 Michigan Union.
