Rain Limits Jayhawks' Practice
Heavy rains limited football workouts for KU to just one hour Wednesday as the Jayhawks approach their season opener Saturday against Washington State
Pirates Dumped; Mets Share Lead
PITTSBURGH (UPI)—The St. Louis Cardinals spotted Pittsburgh a 4-0 lead, then scored three times in each of the fifth and sixth innings, featuring a two-run double by Ted Simmons and a pinch-double by Carl Taylor, to edge the Pirates, 6-4, Wednesday night.
The loss, coupled with New York's split of a doubleheader with the Philadelphia Phillies, tied the Mets and the Pirates for first place in the National League East Division.
Simmons' two-run double featured the Cardinals three-run rally in the fifth as they loaded the bases on Julian Javier's single and two walks with no outs. One run scored on Joe Torre's groundout and, after another groundout, Simmons doubled shading the Pirates' lead to 4-3.
The Cardinals took a 6-4 lead with three more runs in the sixth as Lou Brock singled with two out and stole second before Javier walked. Joe Gibbon relieved Fred Cambria and yielded a pinch-double to Taylor, scoring Brock. After a wild pitch scored Javier, Vic Davallillo hit a sacrifice fly for the third run.
The rains were beneficial in one respect as it gave the Hawks their first experience on a waterlogged Tartan Turf. The team was without hip pads as coach Pepper Rodgers began to tone down practices with Saturday nearing.
Rodgers said the rain makes the going "quite slick" and added that if it rains on game-day, KU will wear regular football cleats which he said will penetrate better. The regular cleats will not hurt the artificial surface.
Rain Delays Tennis Open
FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (UPI)—Rain forced postponement of all matches Wednesday in the $160,-000 U.S. Open tennis championships.
In the only singles match started, Margaret Smith Court raced away to a 5-2 first set lead over Australian compatriot Helen Gourlay in their quarterfinal match. The contest will be continued Thursday.
All four men's quarterfinals were rescheduled for Thursday. These pair Arthur Ashe against John Newcombe, Stan Smith against Ken Rosewall, Dennis Ralston against Cliff Richey and Tony Roche against Brian Fairie.
The women's semifinal bracket also will be completed Thursday, weather permitting. In addition to the completion of the Court-Gourlay match, Nancy Richey will oppose Lesley Hunt.
McLain is Suspended For Rest of Season
NEW YORK (UPI) — Denny McLain, impish "bad boy" pitcher for the Detroit Tigers was suspended for the rest of the 1970 baseball season Wednesday by baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for carrying a gun and breaking probation.
McLain, a 31-game winner two years ago, was suspended for "certain new allegations brought to my attention, including allegations regarding McLain's conduct with respect to the Detroit management and information that on occasion McLain has carried a gun," Kuhn said.
McLain was most recently suspended by the Tigers on August
28 for throwing ice water on two Detroit sportswriters.
McLain was suspended from spring training through July 1 by Kuhn for involvement in bookmaking activities in 1967. He then appeared in 15 games for the Tigers before being suspended by the Detroit management for the icewater incident. The club reinstated McLain but Kuhn ordered the suspension continued pending Wednesday's hearing.
McLain left the hearing on the advice of his attorney, William Aikens, who said the player would not comment on the matter now or in the near future.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (UPI)— The Kansas State Wildcats concentrated on pass defense Wednesday as Coach Vince Gibson tapered practice for the season opener against Utah State Saturday.
However, Gibson said Utah State probably will not be as strong defensively as it has several junior college transfers in the interior line and among the linebackers.
Gibson worked his charges only 90 minutes. He said Thursday's workout will be shorter and preparations will be completed with a 30-minute session Friday.
Gibson said he believes Utah State will stress an aerial game.
"Utah State has a new quarter-
