Tigers 5, Yankees 4
NEW YORK — Pinch hitter Jim Northrup
lined a tie-breaking single in the top of the 11th
inning and the Tigers squeezed past the Yan-
kees.
New York led 4-1 after seven innings. The
Tigers’ Tony Taylor knotted the game with a
three-run homer, knocking Yankees starting
pitcher Mike Kekich out of the box.
Taylor also tagged a round-tripper off Kekich
as the game’s second batter.
Detroit reliever Tom Timmerman (3-3) threw
two shutout innings to earn the win. Roger
Hambright, the third Yankees hurler allowed
one run in 1 1/3 innings and fell to 2-1.
Senators 1, Orioles 0
WASHINGTON — Dick Bosman fired a
seven-hitter for his seventh career shutout as the
Senators nipped the Orioles.
Both starting pitchers, Bosman and Mike
Cuellar, were sharp. Cuellar worked six innings
and allowed the only run in the game — on a
passed ball followed by a run-scoring
groundout.
Bosman improved to 5-14 and lowered his
ERA to 3.99.
Royals 6, White Sox 1
CHICAGO — Paul Splittorff hurled a five-
hitter and was backed by Lou Piniella’s four
hits and three RBI as the Royals beat the White
Sox.

rally in the fifth.
A’s starter John Blue Moon Odom didn’t last
the fifth inning, allowing four runs on seven hits.
Angels 5, Brewers 3

win in a row.
Murphy (7-15) held the Brewers to three runs
on eight hits.
Milwaukee’s Skip Lockwood was lifted after
5 1/3 innings, having yielded four runs. Tommy
Harper hit his 15th home run for the Suds.
Revenge? Cubs Bearing Down on East-Leading Mets
ST. LOUIS — Two years ago today, the Cubs
were clinging to a 3½-game lead in the National
League East over the soon-to-be-Miracle Mets,
and in the throes of an eight-game losing streak.
But the tables have turned. The Cubs are now
the hunters, the Mets the hunted.
With Ferguson Jenkins posting his 22nd victo-
ry Sunday and N.L. batting leader Joe Pepitone
chipping in with three hits and as many RBI, the
Cubs routed the Cardinals 11-2 and pulled to
within 6½ games of the division-leading Mets.
The Miracle Cubs?
On the first day of August this summer the
Cubs were tied for fourth place and trailed the
Mets by 19 games. Since then, the Cubbies have
a record of 24-10, best in the majors. The Mets
are 13-22.

Fryman (10-5) allowed only one hit in the

SAN FRANCISCO — John Mayberry
tagged a three-run homer in the 12th inning of
the first game, and Cesar Geronimo hit two
round-trippers — the first of his career — in the
second game, as the Astros swept a double-
header from the Giants.
The opener went into extra innings at 5-5.
Mayberry, who already had an RBI to his cred-
it, blasted a three-run shot in the top of the 12th
off Giants reliever Steve Hamilton. Houston’s
fifth hurler, Ron Cook, got the win in relief.
Willie Mays hit his 23rd homer, his first
since July 28 and No. 651 of his career.

Kasko
From Page 1
Petrocelli, a seven-year vet-
eran blamed Kasko Saturday
for the Red Sox’ failure in the
pennant race.
The $60,000-a-year infield-
er charged that Kasko plays
favorites among the players,
that there is no unity in the
club and that there is a lack of
communication.
Asked about Petrocelli’s
pop-off, Yawkey said:
“Nothing surprises me in
this business anymore. It does
disappoint me.”
Kasko said he “was
shocked,” to say the least.
“I thought I had a pretty
good relationship with Rico,”
the manager said. “I’ve always
had an open door policy with
my players. I have reasons for
doing things. If they want to
know, I’ll tell them. They may
not like the reason, but I’ll tell
them anyway.
“I haven’t talked to Rico

Houston’s J. R. Richard
pitched six innings, racking up
12 strikeouts.
The Giants’ Jim Willoughby
allowed two runs in three in-
nings.
Geronimo, who homered in
the third, also homered in the
10th. Cook, who won the first
game, earned the save in the
second game.
Reds 5, Dodgers 2
LOS ANGELES — Tommy
Helms drilled a two-run, tie-
breaking single in the top of
the eighth inning and the Reds
went on to sweep a three-game
series from the Dodgers.
Cincinnati's victory was its
seventh in a row. The Dodgers’
loss was their fifth straight.
Doyle Alexander, L.A.’s
starter, allowed five runs in
seven innings and fell to 7-3.

9-0 and his ERA to 0.97.

yet, and he hasn’t talked to
me,” Kasko added.
O’Connell said, “in the fu-
ture it is likely that players will
be fined for popping off.”
He emphasized the fines
would be for talking against
the manager.
“I consider that more serious
than the loquacious talk of
about a month ago,” O’Connell
said, referring to Billy Co-
nigliaro’s blast at Carl
Yastrzemski in July.
Petrocelli admitted earlier in
the day that one of the things
that really hurt him was
Kasko’s not coming to him
about a suit Petrocelli had filed
against him by an airline stew-
ardess as a result of an incident
on a plane in April of 1970.
“When the suit was an-
nounced this spring, I was real-
ly upset,” said Petrocelli. “I
cried in my room for three
days about it. Most of the play-
ers came to me to try to con-
sole me but Kasko never said a
thing to me. This really hurt.”
owing one of the Expos’ best
offensive showings of the
season, Pirates’ slugger Wil-
lie Stargell swatted his 56th
home run of the season, inch-
ing ahead of Roger Maris’
record 1961 pace.
Stargell’s solo shot came in
the top of the first inning.
Montreal’s Ron Fairly ho-
mered and drove home four
runs, part of an eight-run, 16-
hit Expos attack.
Rusty Staub had four hits
for Montreal.
Winning pitcher Bill
Stoneman (11-15) allowed
five runs on 11 hits. The Pi-
rates’ Bruce Kison lasted just
3 2/3 innings, allowing seven
runs and 11 hits.
Padres 4, Braves 2
SAN DIEGO — Garry
Jestadt grounded a two-run,
tie-breaking single in the bot-
tom of the seventh inning as
the Padres downed the
Braves.
San Diego’s Ed Acosta (2-
0) held the Braves to two runs
in eight innings.
Atlanta’s Henry Aaron
knocked home his 124th RBI,
most in the majors.
