The assignment was almost as tough for Staub as swinging against Nolan Ryan.
"The kitchen's hot today and we needed three different sauces for you guys," said Rusty, who has turned his gourmet cooking hobby into a thriving business. At 34, Staub is the senior citizen in the lineup of the surprising Detroit Tigers, who have been residing in first place in the East Division for most of the American League season. And Rusty can't hide his enthusiasm over the young Tigers. Detroit's success has been built around some hot hitters, including Staub. Rusty Is hitting .285, but the bat he likes to talk about most belongs to first baseman Jason Thompson, who is hitting a hefty .306 with 11 home runs and 29 runs batted in.
"He's got some sweet swing," said Staub. "The first time I saw him swing, I knew he'd be something special. What's he got, homers? He'll have 15 by the end of the month." Thompson is, of course, an everyday player In Manager Ralph Houk's lineup, but the rest of the infield is a platoon operation that would make Houk's old boss, Casey Stengel, proud. At second base and shortstop, Houk uses a full platoon with four youngsters. Rookies Lou Whitaker and Alan Trammell form one pair while Steve Dillard and Mark Wagner comprise the other.
Whitaker and Trammell play against righthanders and Dillard and Wagner go against lefties. At third base, the platoon is veteran Aurelio Rodriguez and young Phil Mankowski and again, Houk has been successful with it. The manager also platoons catchers, with Milt May playing against right-handers and Lance Parrish against lefties. The pitching staff has been a picture of patchwork, with Houk juggling bodies like Bob Sykes, Milt Wilcox and Jack Billingham while heavyweights like Mark Fidrych and Dave Rozema rest their ailing arms. Put it all together and it spells first place so far for the Tigers and a whole lot of fun for the designated hitter.
Chef Staub, who is swinging a productive bat and does quite a job with barbecued short ribs on his days kids have been great," said Rusty. Winke's and Eldorado opened witn victories Monday night in the City 14-inch Slo Pitch Softball League, while Don Paul Inc. got a forfeit win against the Steelworkers. Winke's trounced Bliss Sohio 9-3 and Eldorado got all of its runs in the sixth inning in a 7-1 victory over the Depot. Winke's banged out 17 hits and scored three runs in the second, third and sixth innings.
Tim Reno had three hits in four times up including a double for Winke's and Roger Fausey was two for four with a double. Jim Smith went two for four and John Nause two for three for Winke's. Eldorado had a 12-hit attack in its win over the Depot. Gary LeMaitre led the winners with three hits in four times up and Charles Walker and Bill Haas hit home runs. Both Walker and Haas were two for three and Doc Pettiford two for four.

Weiskopf, Ohio amateur and publinks champion Gary Trivisonno of Pine Ridge and Ohio open champion Gene Ferrell of Bryan were all part of a four-person playoff to determine the final three qualifiers. Former Ohio amateur champion Bob Bourne, now a pro at Beach-mont Country Club in Cleveland, three-putted for a bogey on the first hole of the playoff and became the first alternate.
HUDSON, Ohio (AP) Bryan Abbott, an assistant club pro, shot a four-under-par 68 in the second round Monday to head a list of 10 professional golfers and four amateurs who qualified for sectional competition in the U.S. Open local qualifier. Abbott, from Fairlawn County Club, finished with a fourunder-par total of 140 in the 36-hole qualifier played at Lake Forest Country Club and the Country Club of Hudson. It was the third time Abbott has earned medalist honors in a local qualifier for the Open. He was even par in a morning round at Hudson, and fired six birdies and two bogeys in his afternoon round at Lake Forest.
John Dewey, playing out of the Fremont Country Club, was one of the four amateurs qualifying for the U.S. Open sectional competition. Dewey, who played in the British Amateur a few years ago, shot rounds of 76 and 70 for a 146. Former Professional Golf Association tour player Jim Masserio, now assistant at Cleveland's Canterbury Country Club, also had a 68 at Lake Forest and finished just two shots behind the leader. Jack Ferenz, a pro from Parma, Ohio, and the University of New Mexico, was third, three strokes back of Abbott.

"I think it was a case of human nature taking over, said veteran Bobby Hull in the noisy, wet Jets dressing room. "After the first three games I think the guys thought we just had to go out and we'd win. But we found out that we'd have to work hard as we did all was the only way to do it." "We just couldn't get ready for them," said Whalers' Coach Harry Neale.
"But I don't know if we could have beat them anyway. They're a great team." WINNIPEG (AP) The Winnipeg Jets suffered a letdown in the first period, but before the night was over they were joining their fans drinking champagne. The 5-3 victory over the New England Whalers Monday night gave the Jets their second World Hockey Association championship in three years. A jubiliant capacity crowd of 10,348, many of them drinking wine or champagne in the final minutes, saw Winnipeg sweep its fourth straight game from the Whalers, duplicating a whitewash of the Houston Aeros in the 1976 Avco Cup finals.
