CHICAGO (AP)- The New York
Mets, beseiged by injuries to their pjit-

Hausman on the 21-day disabled list
yesterday and brought up right-hander
Terry Leach from their Tidewater farm
club in the International League.
Hausman was the second Mets'

days. The first was Craig Swan.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)- Luis Tiant
went down to the minor leagues to
prove he still could pitch in the majors.
He proved it.
HE IS SCHEDULED to start tonight
for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the
Montreal Expos.
"I guess I have to prove myself
again," Tiant said after being sold by
the Portland Beavers to the Pirates
Tuesday. "At least now I have the op-
portunity. That's what's important."
There was no such opportunity during
spring training this year after the
veteran of 16 major league seasons
was unceremoniously released by the
New York Yankees.
TIANT IS AT least 40 years old.
Nobody knows for sure-except
perhaps Tiant. And he's not revealing
his age.

The winner by a head of yesterday's $50,000 Sanford Stakes was Myanesian
(9), with Shipping Magnate (1A) second and Lejoli (1) close behind in third.
A record week-day crowd of 31,104 was on hand at Saratoga Racecourse for
the 68th running of The Sanford.

No other major league club made him
an offer prior to tne scason.
But in Portland, where Tiant had a 15-
1 record on his way to the majors in
1964, the Beavers signed him to a one-
year contract for an estimated $165,000.
As part of the deal, Tiant pitched in
spring training with the Pirates, but did
not make the major league club.
THE BEAVERS are Pittsburgh's
Class AAA farm club, but Tiant signed
with Portland and not with the Pirates.
Beavers' General Manager Dave
Hersh said the Pirates obtained the
veteran pitcher from Portland for less
than the waiver price of $25,000,
meaning the minor league club ap-
parently tooka financial loss.
But Hersh said it was worth it
because of the publicity Tiant got for
the Portland club.
