An Italian court left today after taking evidence in the Netherlands and West Germany that seems to lend credence to the view that the shooting of the Pope in 1981 was the work of a Turkish terrorist group with links to the Turkish underworld and to Bulgaria. The hearings, by the court trying three Bulgarians and five Turks accused of plotting to kill John Paul II, may be significant because a Turk imprisoned in West Germany, Yalcin Ozbey, is the only witness to corroborate Mehmet Ali Ağca’s contention that Bulgaria was behind the plot. However, Turkish reporters covering the case have expressed the view that Mr. Ozbey may be embellishing a few facts and names related to the case that are familiar to him either from dealings with the Turks involved or through news reports. Mr. Ozbey, who is held on forgery and weapons charges, seconded Mr. Ağca’s account of a wide network of Turkish terrorists said to have been hired by the Bulgarian secret service to kill the Pope. Details of this terrorist network are among the new elements to emerge since the trial began May 27.
Despite West German successes in tracking down suspected terrorists at home and abroad, government officials here say that details of the recent car bombing at the United States Rhein-Main Air Base, and a string of minor terrorist attacks since then, reflect a new strain of terrorist violence. Interviewed by a Cologne newspaper last week, the head of the Federal Criminal Police, Heinrich Boge, said the bombing was “one of a series” and that security officials were preparing to reckon “with further similar attacks.” Government officials interviewed here expressed the view that the recent wave of arson and bomb attacks, largely against North Atlantic Treaty Organization installations and prominent people in the arms industry, reflected the continuing vigor of Germany’s Red Army Faction terrorist organization.
Hundreds of West German politicians, including Cabinet ministers have been implicated in a campaign donation-laundering scheme involving insurance companies seeking government favors, the weekly news magazine Der Spiegel reported. The Working Group of Private Insurers admitted in a statement that contributions had been made to politicians but said they were legal. Among the recipients named by Der Spiegel were Labor and Social Affairs Minister Norbert Bluem and Inner-German Affairs Minister Heinrich Windelen. A spokesman for the federal prosecutor’s office said an investigation has been launched of “various groupings in the insurance industry.”
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Britain was nearly killed last month when an airliner had to take emergency action to avoid colliding with her helicopter, two British newspapers reported today. A spokesman for Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority said an investigation was under way into an incident involving a helicopter and a British Airways Boeing 757 on July 25. Two British Sunday newspapers reported the incident, saying that the Frankfurt-bound plane with 126 people on board had to slam on its brakes to avoid taking off in the path of a Royal Air Force helicopter at London’s Heathrow airport. Mrs. Thatcher and six members of her staff were on board the helicopter, which was about to land at Heathrow, The Sunday Express and The Mail on Sunday reported.
More than 500 Lebanese and Greek Cypriot youths fought each other and smashed shops and cars in the Cypriot city of Limassol, police said. A police spokesman said it was not known what sparked the clash, which prompted authorities to cancel police leaves and order reinforcements to halt the fighting. Thousands of Lebanese have fled the civil war in their homeland to take up residence in the port city.
A car bomb killed 50 people in Beirut and wounded 100, the police said. The car, packed with dynamite, exploded outside a crowded supermarket in a Christian suburb of East Beirut. Most of the victims were women. Children accompanying their mothers were among the dead. Rescue workers said they believed other victims were trapped under the debris, but they held out no hope for finding survivors. Commanders of the Lebanese Forces, the main Christian militia, said Muslims were responsible for this blast and for one on Wednesday in East Beirut that killed 15 people. It was estimated that the bomb today had 550 pounds of dynamite. The blast, at 11:45 AM, touched off raging fires and set ablaze about 50 cars in the parking lot. A pillar of black smoke towered above the district. Rescue teams said five bodies were retrieved from the Mediterranean hours after the bombing. The bodies had been hurled 300 yards across the coastal highway into the sea. Fifteen bodies were dug from the basement storeroom eight hours after the blast, and a search for other victims continued well after nightfall. Rescue workers wearing safety helmets, their faces blackened by smoke, struggled for four hours to reach the underground storeroom, where several people choked to death on the smoke.
The Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs, Richard W. Murphy, held what he termed “useful” and “productive” discussions today with President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt on American efforts to spur Arab-Israeli peace talks. Mr. Murphy, maintaining a practice he has followed on forays into the Middle East, refused to disclose details of his discussions, either here or in previous meetings on this tour. His first talks were held with King Hussein of Jordan. A day later, he met with Prime Minister Shimon Peres of Israel and other senior Israeli officials.
Ten new cases of cholera have been diagnosed in Kuwait, bringing to 20 the number reported this summer, the Kuwaiti press agency said today. It quoted a health official as saying the latest patients were in quarantine and precautions had been taken regarding people with whom they had been in contact. Officials have said the earlier cases originated abroad.
Iran’s President, Hojatolislam Ali Khamenei, took a huge lead in election returns today, and it seemed certain that he would retain his office for another four-year term. According to the Teheran radio, the 46-year-old clergyman had won 87 percent of the first 10,000,000 votes counted after the voting Friday, Iran’s fourth presidential election since the 1979 Islamic revolution. The other two candidates in the election, Mahmoud Kashani, 42, a lawyer, and Habibollah Asgar-Owladi, 52, a former Trade Minister, had 8.7 and 1.9 percent of the votes respectively, according to the broadcast, monitored by the British Broadcasting Corporation. Hojatolislam Khamenei, also leader of the dominant clerical Islamic Republican Party, won 95 percent of the vote in the 1981 election, capturing 16 million of the 16.8 million votes cast.
Less than a month after he signed an accord with Sikh leaders to end three years of confrontation, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi has decided to hold new elections in Punjab state next month to fill the 117-seat state legislature and 10 parliamentary seats, it was announced tonight. The election commission’s declaration ended weeks of speculation here on whether Mr. Gandhi would extend the rule of the central government in the northwestern state before the current term expires October 6. The commission, a semi-independent organization that conducts balloting in India, consults the government on elections. The vote is to be held September 22.
Sri Lankan Tamil leaders accused the army of new massacres of Tamil civilians and walked out of peace talks with the government. Five Tamil guerrilla groups issued a statement saying that soldiers and armed “musclemen” from the Sinhalese majority pulled Tamils from their homes near Trincomalee and killed them. The Sri Lankan Defense Ministry said 21 people, both Tamils and Sinhalese, were killed by a guerrilla land mine near an army camp at Vavuniya, but denied reports that an ensuing army rampage killed 100. Tamil guerrillas are fighting for an independent Tamil homeland.
The South Korean government postponed its controversial plan to enact a law this fall to curb campus dissidents by sending radical students to “reorientation camps” for six months of ideological instruction. President Chun Doo Hwan said the legislation would be delayed until “an appropriate time.” Opposition leaders and others charged that the proposed bill is unconstitutional and would heighten political tensions.
The Japanese Transport Ministry expanded its inspection program for the country’s fleet of Boeing 747 jetliners today, ordering airlines to look for defects in the rear pressure bulkheads of relatively old planes. The new ministry order came as Government investigators focused on a possibility that bulkhead cracks were responsible for the crash of a Japan Air Lines jumbo jet that killed 520 people last Monday. The bulkhead, made of an aluminum alloy, is a thin parasol-shaped partition that seals the passenger cabin from the tail section.
U.S. differences with Nicaragua cannot be resolved as long as the Sandinistas remain in power, Reagan Administration officials involved in Central American policy say. In interviews, some officials indicated they favored the overthrow of the Sandinista leadership, but Robert C. McFarlane, President Reagan’s national security adviser, said in response to a query that it was “absolutely not” the policy of the United States to overthrow the Sandinistas.
Sandinista troops, using heavy artillery and air power, have killed or wounded 100 rebels of an insurgent force poised to attack a strategic town along the Pan American Highway, the Nicaraguan Defense Ministry reported. A statement said that counterinsurgency and militia units intercepted about 1,000 of the guerrillas — whom it did not further identify — as they approached Sebaco, 60 miles north of Managua. The statement made no mention of government casualties.
A U.S. oil executive was kidnaped by leftist guerrillas near his home in a wealthy suburb of Bogota, Colombia. Michael W. Stewart, 38, an assistant operations manager for Houston Oil Co., a Colombian subsidiary of the Houston-based Tenneco Inc., was abducted along with a bodyguard by six gunmen, who said they were members of the M-19 guerrilla movement. The bodyguard was later released.
Long before it left office five months ago, Brazil’s military regime had been found guilty of corruption by the jury of public opinion. Now the supporting evidence is beginning to surface. Almost daily, Brazilian newspapers and officials of the new civilian government have been revealing details of kickbacks, padded payrolls, milked bank accounts and an array of other illegalities that apparently flourished under past administrations. This month, the new Minister of Industry and Commerce, Roberto Gusmao, announced that three entire government agencies — dealing with coffee, sugar and tourism — would be dismantled because they were riddled “with a high degree of corruption.”
Nearly 10 months after the United States undertook a major famine relief effort in Ethiopia, relations between the two governments remain strained and antagonistic, with few signs of approaching improvement, according to Western diplomats and Ethiopian officials. But the average Ethiopian today appears to feel friendlier toward America and Americans than ever before, at least partly as a response to United States assistance here. The severity of the Ethiopian famine first became widely publicized in the West last November. Since then, the United States has become Ethiopia’s largest supplier of emergency aid. More than a third of the relief food entering Ethiopia originates in the United States as part of a program costing more than a quarter of a billion dollars.
A newspaper said today that the Ugandan Army had held secret peace talks with a field commander of the country’s strongest rebel group. The newspaper, Munno, which is backed by the Roman Catholic Church, said army representatives and an officer of the National Resistance Army, which has shunned peace overtures from the country’s new military rulers, had discussed a cease-fire at a meeting north of Kampala. The army and the rebels have waged a four-year war. The two sides also talked about ways to deal with undisciplined army soldiers, many of whom have gone on a looting spree since the army deposed President Milton Obote last month. Munno said the rebel officer at the talks was Salim Saleh Rufulla. It said he stuck by earlier demands that the rebels be given half the seats on the ruling military council to reflect their armed strength. But he also said the rebels might be flexible, the newspaper reported.
The opposition leader Joshua Nkomo said today that six senior members of his party, all city officials in Bulawayo, were detained Friday but that at least two were later released. He said by telephone from the southwestern city, capital of his powerbase in Matabeleland Province, that the two officials freed after questioning were Bulawayo’s Mayor, Enos Mdlongwa, and the Town Clerk, Michael Ndubiwa. He said he was not certain what had happened to the other four. The entire Bulawayo City Council is made up of members of Mr. Nkomo’s party, which has been the subject of a sweeping government crackdown in recent weeks. The Department of Information duty officer said he had received no information on the matter.
South Africa said it arrested 152 people under emergency powers, one of the highest number of detentions in a single day since the emergency was declared in July. The police, meanwhile, said that two more blacks had been shot dead in township violence across the country. South African police reported killing two blacks in clashes — one man who threw a gasoline bomb at a security vehicle near Worcester, a wine-producing center about 50 miles inland from Cape Town, and a second victim who died from a shotgun blast. He was among a stone-throwing crowd near the agricultural town of Bethal, 80 miles east of Johannesburg. In another incident, firebombs were thrown at homes near Cape Town of two members of the mixed-race chamber of Parliament.
Events sometimes have a way of intruding on Presidential vacations. Ronald Reagan and the supporting cast he travels with were at his ranch near here in 1981 when American fighters downed two Soviet-built Libyan warplanes, and again in 1983, when Korean Airlines Flight 007 was shot down by Russian pilots. Last week there was an unusually brisk flurry by the President’s aides, but there was nothing unplanned about it. Many Congressional Democrats who were spending their off-duty August well to the east of the Santa Ynez Mountains, and a few members of the President’s Republican Party as well, professed to not quite know what to make of the unexpected intrusions into their vacations.
For one thing, Donald T. Regan, the White House chief of staff, presided over the drafting of battle plans for the fall, when the Administration will attempt to whip Congress into shape over such matters as spending, trade, taxes and farm policy. In particular, suddenly tough-talking aides promised, President Reagan would keep Democrats away from the Federal Treasury. “The President will be prepared to veto,” Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said at one point, “and I would expect, unless Congress toes the line on spending, that you will see a number of vetoes this fall.” Nor was foreign affairs neglected. Mr. Reagan, whose 23-day stopover on the ranch was planned in part to allow him to recuperate from cancer surgery, would be devoting considerable time to preparing for an upcoming meeting with the Soviet leader, Mikhail S. Gorbachev; the President, his aides said, planned to set nothing less than “an agenda for the future” during the talks in Geneva on November 19 and 20.
President Reagan makes a Radio Address to the Nation on the farm situation. President Reagan said today that the answer to farmers’ financial problems could not be found “in sticking with discredited programs and increasing government controls.” In his weekly radio address, delivered from his nearby ranch where he is vacationing, the President called for spending restraints and a different Federal role. Mr. Reagan’s remarks were aimed at underscoring his concerns when Congress is writing a new four-year agriculture bill to take effect next year. Both the Administration and Congress have been trying to balance fears about rising Federal deficits with the desire to help farmers. In his speech today, the President asserted that the solution to farm problems did not rest in federal programs. He said the government had spent nearly $59 billion since 1981 to support the price of farm products at prescribed levels, more than three times the amount spent from 1976 to 1980.
President Reagan attended a belated birthday celebration in honor of the First Lady’s 64th birthday.
Leaders of the disarmament movement say it is casting about for a new focus now that the drive for a bilateral freeze on nuclear weapons appears to have faltered in the wake of President Reagan’s sweeping re-election. The thousands of disarmament groups around the country, nearly all of which were concentrating on the freeze as recently as the November election campaign, are now advancing several different strategies for stopping the arms race and averting nuclear war. Those strategies will be discussed at a week-long conference, the Boston Roundtable on Security, the War System and Peace Mobilization, beginning tomorrow at Harvard University. About 70 people have been invited to participate in the discussion, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, and Daniel J. Ellsberg, the disarmanment activist. The conference, sponsored by the Nation Institute in New York and the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, is to bring together scholars, writers, politicians and peace activists to map out long-term objectives for the movement.
The U.S. Government will abolish its code for housing construction and replace it with state and local codes a part of the Reagan Administration’s drive to reduce federal regulation and transfer authority to the states. For 50 years, the Federal Housing Administration’s Minimum Property Standards have been the basic guide for the nation’s home builders. The prospective switch to local codes, expected by the end of this year, has aroused confusion and controversy.
Financing of public schools would undergo major changes as a result of President Reagan’s proposal to eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes in calculating federal income taxes, economists and educators say. The proposal’s critics say the elimination of deductibility would encourage local tax revolts across the country and force school districts to cut their budgets by as much as 20 percent at a time when they are already losing Federal funds.
Nineteen state legislatures, responding to tax-cutting sentiments, reduced income and other taxes by more than $1 billion this year, a survey showed. Although more states — 25 — raised taxes than lowered them, most of the increases were small, involving excise taxes such as gasoline, alcohol and cigarettes, according to the survey released by the National Conference of State Legislatures. Among states that increased taxes, Oklahoma had the largest increase, $154 million, with California expected to gain an additional $109 million in revenue, the survey said.
The nation faces a serious shortage of rental housing that could become a crisis for low-income families by the end of the decade, said a study by the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials. Calling for “an aggressive program” to rehabilitate existing rental housing stock, the study said 600,000 new units annually are needed to meet shortfalls in rental housing construction caused by the low levels of construction from 1980 to 1982.
More than 1,400 meatpackers walked off the job at the George A. Hormel and Co.’s main plant in Austin, Minnesota, in a bitter strike that would last just over a year. They are refusing to accept the same pay that other Hormel workers get despite threats by the company to leave the town where it is the principal employer. Hormel’s first strike in 52 years applies only to the headquarters plant of the meat and food processing giant, which had $1.4 billion in sales in the fiscal year 1984. “We all want this company to prosper,” a union business agent, Pete Winkels, said early today. “We just want to grow as they have grown.”
A federal judge in Indianapolis stayed the case of a 13-year-old AIDS patient barred from re-entering school. U.S. District Judge James E. Noland said the family of Ryan White must first exhaust all other remedies under the handicapped children’s education law, including hearings before school and state officials, before a federal lawsuit could be heard. The boy is a hemophiliac who contracted acquired immune deficiency syndrome through a blood transfusion last year.
A judge in Chicago rejected a request by Gary Dotson’s attorneys for additional tests they contend would clear him of a 1977 rape his accuser now says never occurred. Cook County Judge Richard J. Fitzgerald said that, given the “totality of the evidence” in the case, further tests are not warranted on seminal fluid found in the underpants worn by Cathleen Crowell Webb the night she was raped. Fitzgerald also is weighing Dotson’s request for a new trial. Dotson, 28, was convicted of rape in 1979, but Webb later said the rape never occurred. Illinois Governor James R. Thompson later commuted Dotson’s sentence.
The Teamsters Central States Pension Fund, once called a “bank for the mob,” is being run properly under 1982 reforms, the General Accounting Office said. The investigative arm of Congress said a recent study found no indication that the fund’s court-appointed manager is not performing satisfactorily. A federal judge placed the Chicago-based fund under a trustee after a House subcommittee found that hundreds of millions of union dollars were lent to enterprises tied to organized crime.
Federal, state and local authorities were investigating a possible link between the planting of explosive devices in Boston and Cambridge, one of which blew up in the face of a police bomb expert. The bomb expert, Officer Randolph G. LaMattina, 40 years old, remained in stable condition at Brigham and Women’s Hospital today with serious injury to his hands after the device, which he was trying to defuse Friday, went off.
How many children are missing in the United States is a question that raises varying estimates, and few people can agree on just what constitutes a missing child. Public concern over missing children was aroused by a 1983 study by the Department of Health and Human Services suggesting that 1.5 million children were reported missing each year.
A new contraceptive for women that is implanted under the skin “provides an effective and reversible long-term method of fertility regulation,” according to a report from the World Health Organization to be made public later this month. The implant consists of the synthetic hormone progestin contained in six silicone cylinders about the size of matchsticks that are usually inserted under the skin of the upper arm, where the hormone diffuses continuously into the bloodstream for at least five years. “It’s a simple surgical procedure that takes 5 to 10 minutes under local anesthesia,” said Danusia Szumowski, a participant in field studies of the contraceptive. “The capsules can be inserted by a medical practitioner on a makeshift table in a clinic.”
Delegates to a Latino Catholics conference in Washington expressed optimism about what they called an expanding role for their group in the Roman Catholic Church. Latinos “are on the threshold of coming in, and coming back to the church,” Bishop Ricardo Ramirez of Las Cruces, New Mexico, told a news conference. The third national Encuentro conference will make recommendations to the bishops on increasing the role of Latinos in the church. Latinos are the church’s fastest growing constituency, now accounting for more than 25% of the nation’s 52 million Roman Catholics.
Tornadoes slashed through three South Carolina mobile home parks today, tossing children, cars and trailers into the air and injuring at least 35 people, officials said. The tornadoes, spawned by the remnants of Hurricane Danny, struck near the junction of Interstate 26 and Interstate 85 about 12:50 PM No deaths were reported. Rescue workers searched the wreckage but found no bodies buried in the debris. At least 20 mobile homes were destroyed when the tornado cut a 200-yard swath through the Holly Mobile Home Park, the officials said. They said the nearby Green Acres and Anchor parks were also damaged by the twister but not so severely. Three of the injured underwent surgery at Spartanburg General Hospital.
Major League Baseball:
Mike Young drove in five runs with a two-run single and a three-run homer to lead Baltimore to a 9–2 rout of the Rangers. Young has hit 9 home runs and driven in 24 runs in his last 13 games. The Orioles had 16 hits.
In a 9–5 California win, the Angels Reggie Jackson hits his 522nd career home run off Oakland’s Bill Krueger to move past Ted Williams and Willie McCovey into 8th place on the all-time list. Jackson also capped a five-run second with a bases-loaded double for California. Dave Collins has a grand slam for the A’s.
The Yankees beat the Red Sox, 3–1, their 10th victory in 11 games, moving them five games in back of the Blue Jays in their struggle to reach first place in the American League East. The Blue Jays lost to Kansas City, 4–2, in Toronto. The Yankees, playing without Rickey Henderson, who reportedly had a sore shoulder, scored their three runs with one thrust in the second inning. They drew a pair of walks after two were out and then Don Mattingly plopped a single to center field for one run, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. Dave Winfield followed with a thundering triple to the deepest part of left field for the next two runs. The rest was left to Ron Guidry, who won for the 16th time to go with just four defeats, and also to Brian Fisher who retired seven of eight batters in relief.
Lonnie Smith’s bloop single drove in two runs to highlight Kansas City’s three-run eighth inning today as the Royals got a combined five-hitter from Danny Jackson and Dan Quisenberry to beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 4–2. Trailing by 2–1, Frank White opened the eighth with a single off Doyle Alexander, moved to second on a single by the pinch-hitter Jorge Orta and tied the game on Willie Wilson’s third single of the game. Smith then followed with his single that the center fielder, Lloyd Moseby, just missed on a lunging try.
Bert Blyleven pitched a three-hitter and Kent Hrbek hit a two-run homer to lead Minnesota to a 2–0 victory over the visiting Mariners. Blyleven struck out eight to increase his strikeouts to 151, tops in the American League. He pitched his 18th complete game, also tops in the league, as he evened his record at 12–12, 2–1 since joining the Twins from the Cleveland Indians. Hrbek’s homer, his 16th of the year, came off Frank Wills and followed a single by Kirby Puckett in the fifth inning. Wills (4–5) had allowed just two hits until then.
Harold Baines had five hits, including two doubles, drove in three runs and scored twice to lead Chicago to a 12–7 triumph in Milwaukee. Dan Spillner, who relieved Gene Nelson in the fourth inning, pitched 4 ⅔ innings to even his record at 3–3. The White Sox jumped off to a 3–0 lead against Jaime Cocanower (3–2) in the first inning. Rudy Law led off with a walk, Brian Little was safe on a fielding error by the shortstop, Earnie Riles, and Baines singled home Law. Little scored when Greg Walker forced Baines at second. Walker moved to second on Carlton Fisk’s ground out and scored on Joe De Sa’s single. After Robin Yount hit his 14th homer, a bases-empty shot, in the Milwaukee first, Chicago erupted for four more runs in the second. Yount also hit a two-run homer in the ninth.
The Tigers downed the Indians, 7–5. Nelson Simmons’s two-run double highlighted a six-run third inning for Detroit. Frank Tanana (7–11) went eight innings to get his fifth victory since being traded to the Tigers. Simmons, who has appeared in five games since being called up from Nashville ran his hitting streak to five straight games with 10 runs batted in.
The Phillies use a barrage of 6 homers to overwhelm the Cubs at Chicago, 10–4. Daulton and Schu go back-to back in the 4th and Samuel, Wilson, and Schmidt hit consecutive homers in the 7th. One out later, Daulton hits his 2nd of the game. The Phillies tied a team record with six homers, and it was also the high for the season by any National League team. The eight homers hit by both teams also was a league high for the year. John Denny (8–9) allowed home runs by Bob Dernier and Leon Durham in recording his fifth complete game of the season. Chicago’s Dernier hit his first homer of the year in the fifth, cutting the lead to, 3–1.
Dave Concepcion bangs a 1st-inning grand slam off Joe Niekro and the Reds roll to an 8–0 whitewash of Houston. Tom Browning (11–9) retired 12 of the first 13 hitters he faced as he registered his third shutout and fifth complete game of the season with a six-hit performance. Joe Niekro (9–10) was the first batter to reach base when he got a two-out single in the third inning.
Pittsburgh’s anemic hitters exploded for seven runs in beating the Mets Friday night and got an early lead off Sid Fernandez tonight. On top of that, Lee Tunnell, a 1–7 pitcher with a 4.22 earned run average, whipped through the Mets’ batting order tonight for 6 ⅔ innings. But the Mets came alive with four runs and five hits in the seventh inning and went on to defeat the Pirates, 4–3.
Jim Wohlford belted a two-out triple in the ninth inning to score Vance Law and give the Montreal Expos a 5–4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals tonight. The loss dropped St. Louis into a first-place tie with the Mets in the National League East. Montreal, while snapping a Cardinal winning streak at five games, moved to five games behind the division leaders. Tim Burke (8–0) who bailed Jeff Reardon out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, got the victory with Gary Lucas coming on in the ninth to get his first save of the season.
Joel Youngblood’s bases-loaded double with one out in the eighth inning broke a tie and lifted San Francisco to a 5–2 victory, ending Los Angeles’ eight-game winning streak. Dan Gladden started the winning rally with a leadoff single and went to second on the shortstop Mariano Duncan’s throwing error. Brad Wellman sacrificed and Bobby Castillo relieved Carlos Diaz (3–2). Chili Davis, who previously homered, was walked intentionally. Dan Driessen walked, loading the bases, and Youngblood followed with his game-winning, three-run liner to left. Scott Garrelts (7–3) was the winner. In the fourth bases-empty home runs by Davis and David Green in the fifth enabled the Giants to tie the game. Davis’s was his 10th of the year and his first as a right-handed batter since last August. Atlee Hammaker was lifted for a pinch-hitter after scattering seven hits and striking out six in seven innings. Honeycutt went six innings for the Dodgers, yielding four hits and striking out four
