20 ALBANY DEMOCRAT HERALD. SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1980 Lakers, 76ers say 4-1 semifinal victories were anything but easy TV Sunday: Ch. 6. 12:30 p.m. LOS ANGELES AP) On their way to the title series, the Los Angeles Lakers have won eight playoff games and lost two, but Coach Paul Westhead says it hasn't been that easy.

"The struggle has been far greater than the record shows," Westhead said. "A month from now, someone will check out the stats and say, 'Look, the Lakers "But both were very difficult rounds for us. 1 say that to clarify the record, and to compliment our team. We really had to work hard, not like it was a Cakewalk and we weren't challenged." The Lakers begin the best-of seven National Basketball Association championship series Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia 76ers at the Forum. The Lakers defeated the Phoenix Suns 41 in their opening playoff series, rested a week and then dealt the defending champion Seattle Super-Sonics a 4-1 loss in the Western Conference final.

The 76ers, too, made their drive to the championship round in impressive fashion, besting Washington 2 0 in their preliminary series, then disposing of Atlanta and Boston 4 1 in each of those series. Few expect the title series to be decided so abruptly by either team. The 76ers, once a team of superstars who generally played one-on-one, are now a team in the truest sense. Dr, Julius Erving, is still the main man, but Philadelphia has a solid backcourt duo in Lionel Holllns and Maurice Cheeks, with Darryl Dawklns at center and Caldwell Jones at the power forward. The Lakers have spent the past few years trying to build a solid supporting cast for the center most consider the NBA's most dominant player, Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

With rookie Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Norm Nixon in the backcourt, and Jamaal Wilkes at one forward and Jim Chones at the other, Los Angeles finally has the talent to complement Abdul Jabbar. Philadelphia Coach Larry Cunningham hopes the 76ers can control the tempo of the game and hold down Abdul Jabbar. "We have to stop their transition game and keep them from running against us," he said. "And, of course, there's Abdul Jubbar. We have to neutralize the big guy or it's all over.

The key for us to be successful is to play defense." The opening game of the series is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. PDT. Game Two will be played at the Forum Wednesday night, with the series then shifting to Philadelphia for games In the Spectrum on Saturday and Sunday, May 10 and 11. about sports Guidry wins 1st but doesn't know why Major league baseball "You gotta give me a couple days," he said after taking batting practice and infield drills. "Basically, all I did was run (during the absence).

I couldn't use the stadium." Atlanta Manager Bobby Cox said, "It'll be at least some days before I use him. He was out for 12 days. If we got down to it, I'd use him tonight as a pinch hitter, but he hasn't really had time." Chambliss and Jeff Burroughs each drove In a pair of runs as Atlanta defeated Pittsburgh. Niekro, who had lost his first four starts, allowed the only Pirate run In the second Inning on Phil Garner's RBI single. CARDINALS 9, ASTROS 1: Ted Simmons snapped a 11 tie with a sacrifice fly In the sixth Inning and then lashed a three run homer to cap a seven run seventh as St.

Louis beat Houston. CUBS 12, REDS 4: Pinch hitter Mike Vail blasted a three-run triple to key an eight run 12th Inning as Chicago routed Cincinnati. The Cubs scored twice prior to Vall's triple on RBI singles by Ivan DeJesus and Dave Kingman, and came up with three more following Vall's hit on an RBI single by Mike) Tyson and two run homer by Lenny Randle, batting for the second time in the inning PADRES 1. METS 0 Catcher John Stearns' bad throw during a second-inning rundown enabled Willie Mon-tanez to score from third and give San Diego IL vlctory over New York. Rick Wise, the first of three San Diego pitchers, earned the victory with relief help from John D'Acquisto and Steve Mura.

EXPOS 4, GIANTS 3: Ellis Valentine, who had homered earlier, smashed a run scoring single in the bottom of the ninth to lead Montreal past San Francisco. Pinch hitter Rodney Scott started the winning rally with an Infield hit, then stole both second and third to set the stage for Valentine's dramatic hit Tha Astoosstaa' Prase When he was 25-3 for the New York Yankees two seasons ago, Ron Guidry had one of those once-in-a lifetime years. It's beginning to look as though 1980 may be one of those years in reverse. After four no decision outings, two good and two shaky, Guidry finally posted his first victory of the season Friday night. But the 9-6 triumph over the Minnesota Twins was anything but impressive.

Guidry yielded 10 hits and six runs two of them unearned before needing help from Rudy May. Ken Landreaux tagged him for three singles, including a pair of two-run hits. "When it takes you five times to win one game, It looks like it's going to be one of those years," Guidry said. Reggie Jackson and pinch hitter Jim Spencer hit two-run homers for the Yankees to help Guidry notch his initial victory. Jackson slammed his fifth homer of the season off loser Geoff Zahn in the first Inning.

He also singled and scored on Eric Soderholm's double in the fourth, drove in a run with a double in the seventh and scored when Spencer homered off Terry Felton in the seventh. "I'm encountering everything you can encounter," said Guidry. "I've been pitching without a lead for so long that tonight I forgot how to pitch with a lead. They are good pitches for me, but the Twins hit 'em. Things aren't working out right now." "Nobody's ever going to throw like ORIOLES 7, RANGERS 5: Doug DeCinces and Lee May hit consecutive two-run doubles off Jim Kern to spark Baltimore's five run eighth-Inning.

The rally erased a 4 2 Texas lead built on two run homers by Al Oliver and Jim Sundberg ANGELS 3, MARINERS 1: Dave Frost pitched a five hitter and Rod Carew singled home the go ahead run with two out In the seventh Inning. INDIANS 6, BLUE JAYS 1: Len Barker and Mike Stanton combined on a two hitter and Tom Veryzer drove home two runs with a double in Cleveland's four-run second inning. NATIONAL LEAGUE Charlie Hough is one of the "stoppers" In the Los Angeles Dodger bullpen. But Friday night, the only thing he stopped was a 10 game Dodger winning streak. Wildly erratic, the usual artful Dodger walked the bases loaded in the eighth Inning, opening the gates for a four-run Philadelphia rally.

And the Phillies went on to cool off the hot Dodgers 9-5. The Dodgers' right-handed knuckleball specialist allowed the first run by a Los Angeles reliever in the last 11 games, covering 16j Innings. Greg Gross and Bake McBride had two-run singles In the inning for Philadelphia. Steve Garvey hit a home run to tie the game earlier for the Dodgers. BRAVES 6, PIRATES 1: Phil Niekro scattered seven hits for his first victory of the season and Chris he did in 1978," said Landreaux, "but he's definitely still popping them." RED SOX 6, ROYALS 5: Jack Brohamer singled home Carlton Fisk, who had doubled, in the 11th inning with the first pinch hit by a Boston player this season.

Kansas City's Jamie Quirk tied it and chased Boston starter Mike Torrez with a two run homer In the seventh. Fred Lynn's two-run double in the Boston seventh had given Torrez a 53 lead. Darrell Porter, Kansas City's All-Star catcher who returned last week after spending six weeks in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, made his first appearance of the season as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. He received standing ovations both before and after he filed out. BREWERS WHITE SOX 0: Sal Bando drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly and a double and Ben Oglivie delivered a double and two singles to back Mike Caldwell's seven-hit pitching.

Ken Kravec took the loss although five of the seven runs he allowed were unearned. A'l 10, TIGERS 6: Tony Armas drove in four runs, three with a seventh-inning homer, as Oakland moved back into first place in the AL West, one half game ahead of the White Sox. The A's took a 54 lead In the first three innings against loser Dave Rozema. Jason Thompson and John Wockenfuss homered for Detroit. South Albany boys place 6th twice in Axeman Relays South Albany, coming off a surprising boy's dual meet win this week over Sprague, placed in two events Friday at the South Eugene Axeman Relays in Eugene.

Melson, a sophomore from Tillamook, won the discus 133 feet, 11 inches breaking the old mark of 130-11. Lane's Jill Lanham, a former West Albany athlete, won the long jump at 16-74 Otherwise, it was a quiet first round for B. Its men's team failed to score, although it competed well in preliminaries and is expected to make a much bigger impact in today's finals.

The Roadrunners placed in two non-scoring events, Phil Kill-inger and Jon Jensen second and sixth in the hammer throw. In the women's meet, L-B was fourth among nine teams with 11 points. Linda Friesen was the only other Roadrunner to place, taking sixth in the long jump. "We could' ve been a shade stronger in a couple events," said L-B Coach Dave Bakley, "but the people we anticipated getting through finals did. "Some of our distance runners should do well today.

Garry Killgore should respond well in the steeplechase, so should Jon Critters, Jim Jeter In the distances. Tim Bright in the high hurdles had one of the leading times in preliminaries, and should be a favorite in the pole vault." Bakley also anticipates points from sprinter Marty Vaughan, who broke his own school record In the 200 meters during Friday's preliminaries at 21.9, eclipsing 22.1. TEAM SCORES I men!
