Reagan Administration officials say they expect President Reagan to continue honoring for now the broad provisions of the 1979 strategic arms limitation treaty, but reluctantly and with qualifications. The treaty, which expires at the end of 1985, has not been ratified by either the United States or the Soviet Union , although both sides have said that they would generally abide by it. The prevailing view among officials is that Mr. Reagan will either postpone a decision until the fall or modify the terms of adherence to avoid further dismantling of American nuclear forces as required by treaty limits. The officials conclude that Mr. Reagan would not want to run the risks of outright renunciation, which they say would be: a new battle with Congress on top of struggles over the budget, the tax system and Central America; a negative reaction in the United States and in Western Europe, and a decline in Soviet-American relations.
Two arms control officials said today that the 1972 treaty limiting antiballistic missile weapons might have to be changed to accommodate new technologies. One of the officials, Paul H. Nitze, who helped negotiate the treaty and is now advising Secretary of State George P. Shultz, called the 1972 agreement a “living accord” that can be amended to permit development of the new space-based missile defense systems popularly known as “Star Wars.” In a commencement speech at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, he said: “We have offered, even now, to discuss with the Soviets in Geneva the implications of new defense technologies for strategic stability and arms control.” He urged the Russians “to take us up on it,” thereby providing “the opportunity to hold the first detailed exchange on the offense-defense relationship since 1972.”
High-level U.S. and Soviet officials met in Paris on defusing tensions in southern Africa, but disclosed nothing about the discussions. “There was an exchange of views, but there will be no statement or communique,” a U.S. Embassy spokeswoman said. Chester A. Crocker, assistant secretary of state for African affairs, headed the American delegation while Vladilen M. Vasev, an African specialist, led the Soviet team. The Paris meeting was one of a series of talks on regional issues. The two superpowers are expected to meet next month on Afghanistan.
A band of Yiddish-style musicians from Boston has been expelled from the Soviet Union after meeting and holding an impromptu concert with human rights activists in Soviet Georgia. The U.S. Embassy in Moscow said the unidentified four-member band departed without being given a reason for the expulsion. An embassy spokesman said the ouster appeared to be linked to the meeting with the Georgian dissidents.
Belgium banned British soccer teams until the threat of violence by British fans is ended, Interior Minister Charles F. Nothomb announced. He spoke one day after rioting in Brussels killed 38 people and injured more than 200 before the start of a championship soccer match between British and Italian teams. The death toll had been revised downward overnight. Interior Minister Charles-Ferdinand Nothomb, speaking to reporters about the melee, said Belgium would resist being turned into a “police state” to insure security against violence arising out of sporting events.
Britain will donate $317,500 to the families of the Italians who were killed or injured in the rioting Wednesday in the Brussels stadium, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher announced. She expressed disgust over the role of British soccer fans in the violence. “I feel it was not quite enough just to send a message of sympathy,” Mrs. Thatcher said in an interview broadcast on Italian television.
Italian political leaders, sports fans and newspapers expressed rage and sorrow today over the rioting at a Brussels soccer stadium that left 38 people dead, among them at least 25 Italians. The Turin daily La Stampa, reflecting the coverage of the Italian press generally, blamed “hooliganism, fanaticism, violence, blind rage and madness” for the rioting Wednesday. In Italy, as elsewhere around Europe, there was anger both at the behavior of the Liverpool soccer fans and at the failure of the Belgian police to prevent the tragedy. A Rome paper said British fans had distinguished themselves by their “bestiality.”
The next step in Mideast peace efforts is expected to be an early meeting between the United States and a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation to discuss how to arrange direct talks with Israel, according to senior American and Jordanian officials. King Hussein told a dozen Congressmen this morning that Yasir Arafat, the Palestine Liberation Organization leader, had told him he was willing to name Palestinians who are not P.L.O. members to the delegation but would like some of them to be from the Palestine National Council. The Council, which serves as a parliament for the P.L.O., iincludes members and nonmembers of the organization. According to participants at the Congressional meeting, King Hussein repeated the assertion he made Wednesday at the White House that the P.L.O., after repeatedly refusing to do so, was now willing to sit down at a peace conference with Israel and negotiate on the basis of two key United Nations Security Council Resolutions, 242 of 1967 and 338 of 1973.
Israel affirmed its opposition to an international Middle East conference. Prime Minister Shimon Peres expressed the view in response to the call for such a conference by King Hussein of Jordan. He dismissed the King’s call for such a conference as “nothing more than a device to evade direct negotiations with Israel.” The King, speaking Wednesday in Washington, said Jordan and the Palestine Liberation Organization were now in agreement on holding peace talks with Israel under the “umbrella” of an international conference.
The Israeli government will prosecute an Israeli journalist for visiting an enemy Arab state, a Justice Ministry spokesman said. Amnon Kapeliuk, 48, who reports for the mass-circulation Yediot Aharonot and the French newspaper Le Monde Diplomatique, visited neighboring Jordan twice in the last six months on a French passport, the spokesman said. Kapeliuk holds dual Israeli-French citizenship. If convicted, he could be sentenced to a year in prison.
Egypt and Israel ended their latest round of talks on the Sinai coastal strip of Taba without reaching an agreement on Egypt’s demand that the disputed area be submitted to international arbitration. Israeli Foreign Ministry Director General David Kimche said after the meeting near Cairo that the two sides will report to their governments before taking the next step. Taba, near the Israeli port of Eilat, was not returned to Egypt by Israel when it completed its withdrawal from the Sinai in April, 1982.
President Amin Gemayel held talks in Syria today as fighting continued in Beirut. Mr. Gemayel and the Syrian President, Hafez al-Assad, have held four sessions in their current round of negotiations, which began Wednesday. According to The Associated Press, President Gemayel said after the meeting that Syrian forces in Lebanon would help the Lebanese Army end the bloodshed in Beirut. He did not say when the Syrians would move into the city. The Damascus radio said in a commentary that Syria would act firmly to end the circle of violence in Lebanon and help the country recover. Syria maintains 30,000 soldiers backed by 1,000 tanks in eastern and northern Lebanon.
The fighting in Beirut intensified during the day as two battles raged, one across the line dividing Beirut into Christian and Muslim halves, and the other between Palestinian defenders of three refugee settlements and Shiite militiamen. The Christian Lebanese radio said five neighborhoods in Christian East Beirut had been bombarded. In Muslim West Beirut, three people were wounded when a rocket fell near the Bristol Hotel. A fire started, and several cars were smashed. Three shells struck near the residence of Nabih Berri, leader of the Muslim Shiite militia known as Amal. Local radio stations reported that one of Mr. Berri’s bodyguards had been killed and a second wounded. Mr. Berri was said to be unharmed. In the fighting for the Palestinian settlements, now in its 12th day, Palestinian gunners in the hills above Beirut unleashed volleys of Katyusha rockets against Shiite concentrations, especially around Burj al Brajneh, which earlier in the day was pounded by Shiite mortar fire. Fighting around the two other settlements, Sabra and Shatila, was sporadic.
Iraq said its jet fighters attacked the principal Iranian oil terminal in the Persian Gulf today, and Iran reported hitting oil installations in southern Iraq. Iraq also said it raided more Iranian cities and attacked a “very large naval target” — a term it often uses to refer to large ships in the gulf. Oil industry sources in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, said Iranian officials privately confirmed Iraqi assertions that the Iranian oil terminal on Kharg Island was hit. Iraqi planes also struck the towns of Isfahan and Hamadan in raids up to 250 miles inside Iran, a military spokesman said. Iran’s national press agency confirmed the attacks but said they caused no damage or casualties.
More than 60 students were detained by the police today after demonstrating in support of colleagues who occupied the United States Information Service building last week, dissident sources said. They said students scattered leaflets and shouted slogans late Wednesday in downtown Seoul, about four blocks from the American library that was occupied for four days.
A lower court in Japan today denied a request to release a 93-year-old man who has spent 30 years on death row. The Tokyo District Court ruled that the man, Sadamichi Hirasawa, who was sentenced to death for the murders of 12 bank employees in 1948, was being detained legally. His lawyer had argued that under Japanese law, a statute of limitations applied automatically when 30 years pass without a death sentence being carried out. But the court ruled that the statute of limitations does not apply for death row convicts. Mr. Hirasawa’s lawyers said they would appeal the sentence to Japan’s Supreme Court.
The House Democratic leadership outlined a proposal today to bar aid to the rebels fighting the Government in Nicaragua, setting the stage for a showdown with the Reagan Administration and Republicans in the House next week. Leaders in both the House and the Senate say President Reagan, who lost his effort to send military aid to the rebels in April, now could win on a compromise request for some form of nonmilitary aid to the rebels, who are seeking the overthrow of the Sandinistas. The votes are scheduled for Thursday.
Sudan’s Defense Minister Osman Abdalla accused the United States of reneging on an arms agreement and said Sudan will obtain supplies from “sister and friendly countries,” the Sudan News Agency said. Osman, a member of the 15-man military council that overthrew President Jaafar Numeiri on April 6, said Washington has not even supplied promised spare parts for 30 U.S.-made combat aircraft. Diplomats said alternative arms sources would probably include Libya, Egypt and the Soviet Union.
Gunmen shot one of Uganda’s top judges today and hurled a grenade in the courtroom where he was opening the murder trial of a government soldier who is accused of atrocities against rebels, witnesses said. The Ugandan Chief Magistrate, John O’Bwangamoi, was led bleeding heavily from the courtroom to a hospital for treatment while the gunmen and the murder suspect escaped, they said. A court clerk was also wounded. The suspect, Sgt. Keli Omega, one of the few Ugandan soldiers to have been brought to court on atrocity charges since 1980, was later caught. Court officials said the move by the gunmen appeared to have been an attempt to stop the sergeant’s trial. The anti-Government Uganda Freedom Movement, in calls to news organizations, said it had carried out the attack. But the caller incorrectly identified the victim and diplomats treated the claim with skepticism.
A bomb exploded in a Johannesburg building housing a private group that sends gifts to South African soldiers. The banned African National Congress, the main rebel group fighting white rule in South Africa, claimed responsibility. No one was reported hurt by the blast, which damaged several nearby offices and shops. Police said the apparent target was the Southern Cross Fund, which provides food packets for soldiers stationed along South Africa’s borders. The explosion came two days after a bombing at a military clinic, for which the rebel group also took responsibility.
South African President Pieter W. Botha appointed two nonwhites as government deputy ministers, effective July 1. Soobramdney Naicker, an Asian, will become deputy minister of environment affairs, and Luwellyn Landers, a mixed-race Colored, will become deputy minister of population development. Deputy ministers are not Cabinet members, but an Asian and a Colored are already Cabinet ministers without portfolio.
Treasury Secretary James A. Baker 3d won promises of bipartisan cooperation today as he appeared at the opening Congressional hearing on President Reagan’s tax plan. Sharp questioning from members of the House Ways and Means Committee, however, foreshadowed months of negotiations over some elements of the proposal. Almost all the Representatives took issue with one aspect or another of the sweeping Administration proposal to redesign the Federal income tax system, but nobody disputed Mr. Baker’s declaration that “there is a clear and compelling need for reform.” “He has struck a populist chord,” the committee chairman, Representative Dan Rostenkowski, said of the President. “We need tax reform. The country needs tax reform.”

More arrests in a Navy spy plot are expected soon, according to law-enforcement officials. They said they planned to seize several people who worked in a private detective concern in Norfolk, Virginia, owned by John A. Walker, who has been accused, along with his brother and son, of participating in a plot to transmit secret Navy documents to Moscow. The Government released new details of the plot that offered an extraordinary view of the conspiracy. Documents released by prosecutors also identified a member of the purported spy ring who was assigned the code name “D” by Mr. Walker. A Government source said “D” is a retired Navy employee who is not related to the Walker family and lives on the West Coast. Although a suspect in the Federal investigation, the source said, “D” has not been arrested.
Costly Navy items led to penalties announced by Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger. Mr. Weinberger said that three Navy officers, including an admiral with 33 years of service, were being relieved of their duties because a supply depot under their command paid the Grumman Aerospace Corporation $659 apiece for seven airplane ashtrays. The Secretary’s announcement, at a news conference here, was the latest move in his campaign to repair the Pentagon’s reputation for diligence in dealing with its suppliers. Mr. Weinberger said that in future cases of overpricing or fraud it “is going to be standard practice” at the Pentagon to discharge or transfer “anyone who is responsible for permitting this to happen.” The Navy identified the three officers as Rear Admiral Thomas J. Cassidy Jr., commander of fighter and early warning aircraft for the Pacific fleet; Captain Gary E. Hakanson, commander of the Naval Air Station at Miramar, Calif., and Commander Jerry L. Fronabarger, a Miramar supply officer.
A $1 checkoff for campaign gifts in Presidential elections would no longer appear on Federal income tax forms if Congress approves a provision of President Reagan’s tax overhaul plan. Repealing the checkoff would end the system of public financing that has paid for the general election campaigns of Presidential candidates since 1976.
Oil and gas producers were happy that President Reagan retained their most valued deductions for drilling expenses in his tax overhaul plan. The producers, plagued by their worst recession in a generation, argued that the Treasury Department’s original plan would lead to further declines in American energy exploration and increase dependence on foreign sources, endangering national security.
The Bigeye bomb, centerpiece of President Reagan’s $174-million plan to modernize the U.S. chemical-weapons arsenal, remains technically flawed despite seven years of testing, according to the General Accounting Office. In preliminary findings presented to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Dante B. Fascell (D-Florida), the GAO reported that in eight of its last nine tests by the Army, the bomb had not produced a sufficiently lethal chemical reaction at high temperatures. The bomb is called a binary weapon because its lethal punch comes from mixing two nontoxic chemicals that produce nerve gas after Bigeye is dropped.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission unanimously approved full-power operation of the first reactor in what will be the nation’s largest nuclear power plant. The Palo Verde plant is 50 miles west of Phoenix. The first unit is coming in two years behind schedule from the 1976 ground-breaking and, at $5.9 billion, a little over double the cost projected in 1974. This is about 15% below the average of plants completed in the 1980s.
The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Louis O. Giuffrida, improperly used his free mail privilege to send Christmas cards last year to members of Congress, a General Accounting Office report said. “We think the holiday greeting letter was a violation of our long-standing rule against sending Christmas cards with appropriated funds, and consequently an improper use of (franked) mail,” said the report, sent to Rep. Fortney H. (Pete) Stark Jr. (D-Oakland). Stark asked Giuffrida March 25 to reimburse the Treasury for the unspecified cost of the mailing.
Martha von Bülow’s son and older daughter today described their mother, now in a coma their stepfather is accused of causing, as a vibrantly healthy woman who rarely drank or took drugs. In a 90-minute interview in Newport, they drew a picture of their mother that disagreed at virtually every point with what a defense lawyer for her husband, Claus, presented in the courtroom Wednesday to a jury that is weighing whether he twice tried to kill her with insulin injections that instead brought on comas. The children, Alexander von Auersperg and Annie-Laurie Kneissl, also made available photograph albums that showed their mother in apparent good health at a number of social and family occasions before December 1980, when she fell into a coma from which her doctors say she will not recover. She suffered another coma a year earlier but recovered in 24 hours.
A tough Houston mayoral campaign is in prospect, according to analysts. The fight is expected to be between Louie Welch, a canny and popular former five-term Mayor, and Kathy Whitmire, the two-term incumbent who has also demonstrated remarkable power at the polls. Although she has not declared herself a candidate in the November election, Mrs. Whitmire’s aides say there is no doubt of her intention to seek a third term. Mr. Welch announced his candidacy to associates and political supporters this afternoon in a low-key address saying he would retire as head of the Chamber of Commerce on June 15 “in order to enter the race for Mayor.”
Three of five men who escaped from a maximum-security prison forced two teenagers to drive them halfway across Oklahoma, the authorities said today. The teen-agers, Bryan Montgomery and Cindy Stites, both 19 years old, were abducted at a restaurant in Muskogee, Oklahoma, 65 miles north of the prison, late Wednesday and forced to drive in Mr. Montgomery’s car 135 miles west to Oklahoma City. The teenagers were freed this afternoon, the authorities said.
The president of a Charleston, West Virginia coal company said today that contract negotiations with striking miners would not resume until the union ended a “guerrilla war.” E. Morgan Massey, president of the A. T. Massey Coal Company, made the statement about negotiations with the United Mine Workers, which has been on strike against Massey subsidiaries and service companies.
Death sentences for two members of a black militant group convicted of murdering a white youth were overturned today by the Florida Supreme Court. The justices ordered a new sentencing hearing for one of the two, Jacob John Dougan, and directed that the other, Elwood C. Barclay, be sentenced to life in prison without eligibility for parole for 25 years.
Two men convicted in the Christmas Day bombings of an abortion center and two doctors’ offices were sentenced in Pensacola, Florida, to 10 years each in federal prison. The men faced possible terms of 65 years each. U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson’s decision was praised by abortion opponents supporting the men, and denounced by a women’s rights advocate. Vinson placed the wife of one man and the fianceé of the other on five years’ probation. He also ordered James Simmons and Matthew Goldsby, both 21, to pay $353,073 each to insurance companies and the two doctors whose offices were destroyed by the explosions.
A prosecutor in the office of the United States Attorney in Manhattan was arrested yesterday and charged with stealing up to $500,000 worth of heroin and cocaine from a safe used by the office’s narcotics unit. The suspect, Daniel N. Perlmutter, a 29-year-old assistant United States attorney, was also charged with possession and intent to distribute the drugs — 8.7 ounces of heroin and 29 ounces of cocaine. The same charges were made against Stacy L. Honeycutt, a 22-year-old woman with whom Mr. Perlmutter shared an apartment at 7 Park Avenue. They were arrested as they drank coffee in a Third Avenue restaurant at 3:50 A.M. One of 131 Assistants The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Rudolph W. Giuliani, said at a news conference that the arrest of Mr. Perlmutter marked the first time that serious criminal charges had been brought against a prosecutor in the Southern District’s offices, adjoining the United States Court House on Foley Square.
A San Francisco police officer says he has the right to know whether a man accused of biting him suffers from AIDS, but a defense attorney contends that it would be illegal to require a blood test. A Municipal judge continued until next week a hearing on a city prosecutor’s request to force Lyle Julius, 26, to take a test to determine whether he has the acquired immune deficiency syndrome virus. “He (Julius) announced that he has AIDS after he allegedly bit a San Francisco police officer three times,” Assistant District Attorney Bob Moore said. If Julius does have AIDS and knew that when he bit Officer Tom Cady last November, “it could mean more serious charges,” such as felony assault, Moore said. But Gordon Armstrong, chief trial attorney in the city’s public defender’s office, said the state Health and Safety Code requires a subject’s written consent before administering a test for AIDS.
Scientists spotted a stream of hot lava oozing from cracks in the crater dome of Mt. St. Helens, in southwest Washington. It was the first eruption of the volcano in more than eight months. A U.S. Geological Survey crew flew over the crater at mid-morning and spotted a new lava flow on the southeast flank of the 800-foothigh dome. Scientists reported there was no sign of explosive activity. It was the first time magma has broken through the surface of the lava dome since September 10, 1984.
Even at the ripe old age of 38, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar continues to show why he may be the greatest basketball player ever. Bouncing back from Monday’s 12-point-3-rebound performance, the Laker center poured in 30 points and grabbed 17 rebounds tonight, paving the way for the 109–102 victory over the Celtics at the Boston Garden. The loss, the Celtics’ first after nine straight home playoff victories, tied the league championship series at 1–1. Game 3 of the four-of-seven final will be played in Inglewood, California, on Sunday afternoon.
Stanley Cup Final, Northlands Coliseum, Edmonton, Alberta: The Edmonton Oilers take back-to-back titles; beating the Philadelphia Flyers, 8-3 for a 4-1 series victory; Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri each post a goal and 3 assists. Combining speed, finesse and proficient scoring, the Edmonton Oilers whirled their way to a second consecutive Stanley Cup championship tonight with the victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, ending the four-of-seven-game final in five games. Wayne Gretzky, awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs’ most valuable player, had a goal and three assists. “We’ve got the reputation of being an arrogant, flash-in-the-pan type of team,” said Gretzky. “So we didn’t want to win one Cup and not win another. We showed that we could be flashy and fancy, but when it comes to working hard, we can work as hard as anyone.”
Major League Baseball:
San Diego’s Andy Hawkins runs his record to 10–0 with a 5–4 win over the Expos. Carmelo Martinez drove in four runs with two homers and unbeaten Andy Hawkins became the major leagues’ first 10-game winner. Hawkins walked one and struck out four in 7 ⅔ innings. Luis DeLeon and Craig Lefferts finished up. Montreal took a 1–0 lead in the fourth inning, but the Padres came back in their half of the inning when Kevin McReynolds and Terry Kennedy opened with singles against the loser, Dan Schatzeder (2–1). Martinez followed with his fifth homer of the year. In the sixth inning, Martinez hit a homer off Randy St. Claire.
Doc Gooden strikes out 14 in pitching the Mets to a 2–1 victory over the Giants. He wasn’t the only one who was sizzling in Candlestick Park, either. Manager Dave Johnson was thrown out of the game after he accused the umpires of hounding Keith Hernandez, who had been thrown out of Wednesday’s game. And the Mets, who lost four straight last week during their worst slide of the season, won for the fourth straight time in a rousing revival that solidified their hold on first place in the National League’s East. Alex Trevino’s first homer of the year is the Giants’ only score.
The Cardinals blanked the Braves, 6–0. Joaquin Andujar claimed his ninth victory against just one defeat in a combined five-hit shutout with Bill Campbell for St. Louis. Andujar allowed five hits, walked one and struck out three before leaving after five innings when his right shoulder tightened. It was Andujar’s fifth victory in a row. Campbell held the Braves hitless and allowed one walk over the final four innings.
The Phillies thumped the Dodgers, 6–1. For John Denny it was his first victory over Los Angeles in seven years. “John did a great job, he got himself out of a few jams,” Phillies Manager John Felske said of Denny. The Dodgers, who lead the National League in errors with 62, committed three more, giving them six in the two games against the Phillies. “We played well,” said Felske, “but they helped us out and we finally took advantage.” Denny (2–5) the 1983 NL Cy Young Award winner, snapped a four-game losing streak as he outpitched Fernando Valenzuela (5–5).
Eddie Murray’s two-run double keyed a six-run Baltimore rally in the fifth inning as the Orioles downed the Mariners, 8–2. Murray’s double, following a bases-loaded walk to Cal Ripken Jr., restored some normalcy to a rally which had a bizarre beginning. Salome Barojas (0–5), who relieved in the second when the starter Mike Moore suffered a groin injury, walked Fritz Connally to open the fifth with the score tied 1–1. Connally moved to second on a sacrifice, but then needed three outfield singles to score. He held up as balls hit by Floyd Rayford, Lee Lacy and Jim Dwyer all appeared catchable before falling safely. Roy Thomas then came in and issued the run-scoring walk to Ripken, and Murray doubled off Ed Vande Berg to make it 5–1. Two more runs scored on a single by Fred Lynn and a sacrifice fly by Larry Sheets. Storm Davis, pitching a seven-hitter, was the winner.
Carlton Fisk’s two-run rooftop homer powered Tom Seaver and the Chicago White Sox to a 4–3 victory over Kansas City. Fisk’s homer, his 11th of the season, came in the fourth inning after Ron Kittle had singled. It landed on the left-field roof, giving the White Sox a 3–2 lead. Seaver (5–3) earned the 293d victory of his career but had a shaky start when the Royals scored twice in the first. He pitched 7 ⅓ innings, giving up eight hits and two walks.
Larry Herndon’s tie-breaking home run in the sixth inning backed the combined seven-hit pitching of Walt Terrell and Willie Hernandez for Detroit as the Tigers edged the A’s, 3–2. Herndon hit the first pitch in the bottom of the sixth, chasing Tim Birtsas (1–1). Terrell (6–1) gave up all seven hits and both runs. Hernandez started the eighth and earned his 11th save. The Tigers loaded the bases in the third and, with one out, Birtsas hit Kirk Gibson in the jaw with a 3–2 pitch to force in Bob Melvin. Gibson was taken to a hospital with his lower lip split in two places, needing 17 stitches.
The Yankees crammed in a remarkable display of winning baseball habits last night, coupled them with some powerful dramatic moments and halted the California Angels by 3–1. But it was most special to 23-year-old Dan Pasqua, suiting up in a Yankee uniform for the first time, starting as the left fielder in the stadium he used to visit as a youngster growing up in Yonkers and then living in Harrington Park, New Jersey. In his second time at bat Pasqua did what he claimed he used to “dream about all the time at Columbus.” He drilled a home run into the right-field seats.
Jim Rice’s one-out single scored Glenn Hoffman from second base with the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning, lifting the Boston Red Sox to an 8–7 victory over the Twins. Ron Davis (1–5) hit Hoffman with a pitch leading off the 11th. After Wade Boggs sacrificed, Dwight Evans was hit by a pitch to put runners at first and second. Rice followed with a single to score Hoffman. Bob Stanley (1–2) pitched shutout ball over the last 5 ⅔ innings to earn the victory.
Typhoid Mary? Cleveland trades shortstop Johnny LeMaster, acquired earlier this month from the Padres, to Pittsburgh for a player to be named later (Scott Bailes). LeMaster will end the year as a Pirate, but all three teams he plays for this year will finish in last place and lose 100 games.
