A’s quietly slipping away
By RICK GOSSELIN
UPI Sports Writer
The Kansas City Royals have
the second best record in the
American League West, but
that doesn’t mean they are the
second best team.
There may not be a second
best team in the West.
Only Oakland and Kansas
City are above .500 in the West
and the A’s are quietly slipping
away to their fifth straight

divisional crown with an 11
game lead over the Royals.
And Kansas City seems content
with its fate: sliding off into
oblivion with six straight losses.
The latest of the string came
Sunday in Detroit when the
Tigers, themselves a fistful of
games under the break-even
point, routed the Royals 7-3 to
sweep the abbreviated two
game series.
The culprit in the collapse
has been the pitching, which
has been as airtight over the
past week as the Hindenberg.
Kansas City has allowed 42
runs in its last six games.
“We don’t have any pitching
problems,” Manager Jack
McKeon buried his tongue in
Lee Feltman, Ben Bowen, Terry Feltman, coach. Second
row, Freddy Colbert, Danny Stewart, Wes Treadway,
David Riordan, Scotty Cobb, Tutus Baldwin, Frankie
Smith. Back, Jimmy Ballard, manager.
his cheek. “I think this is the
lowest we’ve held anybody in
about a week. We were in
Boston and they scored about
eight runs a game and this
Detroit club is hot.”
Nellie Briles pitched a
respectable five innings Sunday
before giving up a two-run
home run to Leon Roberts to
break a 2-2 tie and send the
Tigers off on a five-runs-in-two
innings spree.
Briles’ record fell to 4-5 and
his earned run average climbed
to 4.46, an ERA which is
nothing to be ashamed of
among Kansas City pitchers. Os
the six hurlers McKeon has
used in search of a stopper,
only Steve Busby has given up
less than three runs a game
with an ERA of 2.90. But his
record is only 11-8.
Al Fitzmorris has a 3.90
ERA, Marty Pattin a 3.53, Paul
Splittorff a 4.23 and Dennis
Leonard 4.27.
“I can’t put the finger on any
one guy,” McKeon explained.
“They’ve all been pitching bad.
It could turn around all of a
sudden. We just need a guy to
go out and pitch a good game
and maybe it will all fall into
place.”
In other American League
games, the Oakland A’s downed
the Baltimore Orioles, 5-2; the
New York Yankees swept a
doubleheader from the Min
nesota Twins, 14-2 and 5-4; the
Chicago White Sox took both
ends of a twinbill from the
Milwaukee Brewers, 9-2 and 10-
5; the Cleveland Indians buried
the California Angels, 10-4, and
Boston edged Texas, 3-2, after
dropping the first game of the
doubleheader, 10-5.
In the National League, New
York nipped Houston, 10-9; Los
Angeles clipped Chicago, 5-3;
Atlanta tripped Montreal, 5-4,
in the completion of a game
suspended from May 15 and the
Expos captured the regularly
scheduled contest, 6-5; Phila
delphia swamped Cincinnati, 11-
4; San Francisco and Pitts
burgh split a doubleheader with
the Giants winning the first, 2-
1, and the Pirates the second, 7-
1, and St. Louis took two from
San Diego, 3-1 and 10-2.
A’s 5, Orioles 2
Phil Garner and Reggie
Jackson drove in two runs
apiece to provide relief pitcher
Rollie Fingers with his sixth
victory of the season. Jackson’s
two RBI capped a three-run
seventh inning which snapped a
2-2 tie. Ken Singleton hit a
home run for Baltimore.
Yankees 14-5, Twins 2-4
Thurman Munson, Roy White
and Bobby Bonds belted home
runs to send New York off on a
rout in the first game and Ed
Herrmann slapped a two-out
pinch-hit single to cap a two
run, ninth-inning comeback in
the second game. Munson
knocked in four runs on four
hits for the day.
White Sox 9-10, Brewers 2-5
Bill Stein belted his first
career grand slam in the
second game and Wilbur Wood
scattered four hits in the
opener to pull Chicago within
one game of the .500 mark.
Stein knocked in five runs in
the second game and Ken
Henderson rapped out four hits
good for three RBI in the first
game.
Indians 10, Angels 4
Buddy Bell, Rico Carty and
Rick Manning hit home runs
and Don Hood combined with
Jackie Brown for a six-hitter to
snap a four game Cleveland
losing streak. Bell drove in four
runs and Hood went eight
innings in recording his third
triumph in eight decisions thiis
season.
Rangers 5-3, Texas 10-2
Len Randle and Tom Grieve
each drove in three runs in the
opener as the Rangers’ ended
Boston’s winning streak at 10
games. But the Red Sox topped
the Rangers in the nightcap
behind the combined six-hit
pitching of Reggie Cleveland
and Jim Willoughby plus a
double and triple by Cecil
Cooper.
Pat Scanlon
MONTREAL (UPI) - The
Montreal Expos optioned in
fielder Pat Scanlon to Memphis
of the International League
Sunday.
Right-handed pitcher Don
Carrithers, who had been on
the inactive list since June 15,
was reactivated by the Expos.

Vinny Giles wins
Southern Amateur
PINEHURST, N.C. (UPI) -
With the British and U.S.
Amateur championships to his
credit already, Vinny Giles
really didn’t need a second win
in the Southern Amateur golf
championships. But he “hated
to lose.”
The 32-year-old Walker Cup
team member from Richmond,
Va., started two strokes off the
pace but his competitive nature
got the better of him and he
came back with a two-under

par 70 Sunday for a two stroke
win in the 69th playing of the
event.
Giles’ total of 289 over the
par-72, 7,051-yard course at the
Pinehurst Country Club gave
him the edge on Stan Lee of
Baton Rouge, La., Mike Taylor
of Meridian, Miss., and Phil
Hancock of the University of
Florida. Lee and Taylor each
shot a 72 Sunday and Hancock
had a 73 to tie for second at
291.
