A Roundup Of The Week Aug. 13-19

BOATING—Barring any protests, WEST GERMANY captured the Admiral's Cup with 831 points. Australia was second with 779 points in the four-race world championship sailed between Cowes and Plymouth.

BOWLING—In his second triumph of the season DON JOHNSON outrolled Larry Laub 258-206 in the $37,500 Bay City ( Mich.) Open.

Betty Morris of Stockton, Calif. bowled a six-game series of 1,367 to capture the Professional Women's championship in Flint, Mich.

FOOTBALL—Kansas City played a double bill this week and dropped both games in the last minute and a half. In Monday night's special the Chiefs lost to Detroit 17-16 in what Coach Hank Strain called "a ridiculous way," as Jan Stenerud had his first PAT in seven years blocked. Cornerback Lem Barney was the star. He blocked the kick and earlier, in the second quarter, intercepted a Pete Beathard pass on the Detroit 31 and returned it to the two. Altie Taylor took it over for the score. Next it was Minnesota's turn, and the Vikings, despite a rash of turnovers, beat the Chiefs on a late field goal 13-10, which prompted Strain to say, "It's a shame when you get five turnovers and don't win." Nate Allen was one Chief who was not ashamed, intercepting three passes and recovering a fumble. Philadelphia choked on two punting situations and Pittsburgh capitalized for a 17-3 victory, the Steelers' second in three outings. Terry Bradshaw completed 12 of 21 passes for 116 yards. In Dallas Roger Staubach and Craig Morton passed the Cowboys to a 24-14 victory over New Orleans. Staubach connected on scoring passes of 52 and 45 yards, and Morton Hipped for the final score, a shortie to Billy Truax in the end zone. Former Cowboy Duane Thomas helped spoil Buffalo's debut in its $22 million stadium by leading Washington to a 37-21 win over the Bills (page 16). George Blanda, now 45 and a 24-year veteran, kicked three field goals, one from the 41, as Oakland downed Los Angeles 16-3. Blanda also contributed the extra point after Daryle Lamonica's six-yard pass to Bob Moore for the Raiders' only TD. Rookie Quarterback Bert Jones led an 80-yard drive, capped by Don Nottingham's one-yard sweep, for a 32-28 Baltimore victory over Detroit. Running Back Floyd Little accounted for two of Denver's five touchdowns in a 38-17 rout of St. Louis. Atlanta dropped New England 27-10. Houston lost to Green Bay 33-14 and Chicago and Miami played to a 9-9 draw, the Dolphins' first non-win in 22 games. Cleveland won its first exhibition game in 10 tries 24-6 over Cincinnati, and the Giants proved they "own New York" with a 45-30 win over the Jets in New Haven, Conn.

GOLF—CAROL SEMPLE won her first U.S. Women's Amateur in eight attempts, one-up over Anne Sander, in Montclair, N.J. (page 60).

Lanny Wadkins moved closer to the $200,000 mark for the year with a 3-under-par 69 in the final round of the USI Golf Classic in Sutton, Mass. Surviving a double bogey on the 14th, he beat Rik Massengale, Lee Elder and Tom Jenkins by two strokes and added the $40,000 first prize to his earnings, bringing them to $188,914.

Sandra Palmer collected $4,500 for her one-stroke victory over Judy Rankin and Jane Blalock in the LPGA's St. Paul Open. She carded a 2-under 71 for the final 18 and a total of 209.

HARNESS RACING —SPARTAN HANOVER ($12), driven by Billy Haughton, won the $50,000 American Trotting Championship at Roosevelt Raceway by a neck over Delmonica Hanover. The victory, in 2:34 for the 1� mile, qualified Spartan Hanover as the U.S. entry in the $150,000 Roosevelt International Aug. 25.

HORSE RACING—Moving into the history books alongside Arts and Letters, Bold Reason and Key to the Mint was ANNIHILATE 'EM ($7.40), winner of the 104th Travers at Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Ridden by Ron Turcotte, the 3-year-old colt beat Stop the Music by 1� lengths. The field was sharply narrowed by post time as Secretariat, Our Native and Knightly Dawn were all withdrawn.

Mike Hole rode WINDTEX ($9.60) to a 1�-length victory over Rastaferian in the $100,000 Hobson Handicap at Liberty Bell Park in Philadelphia.
