Tuesday, September 17, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY rage Deven F , Tigers By RANDY WISE clobber New York 81, clinch pennant tie / ' Special to the Daily DETROIT-The only score the Tigers will care about tonight is their own against the New York Yankees. They clinched a tie for the American League pennant last night with their seventh,,straight win by beating the red hot Yanks The race could have ended there but Baltimore didn't comply as they beat the Boston Red Sox, 8-1. As Earl Wilson (tonight's starting pitcher) said after the game, "We've comei this far, it's only fitting that we win the pennant by winning ourselves. I know it will be the biggest start of my career." The Tigers started off last night just like they finished Sunday. Dick McAuliffe opened with an infield single.

Freehan got his second straight hit and Tommy Matchik slammed a single moving the Tiger catcher to,,third. He scored on a ground, out by Wert. This ended the scoring for the Tigers and from here on the 28,354 fans just watched the scoreboard (in dismay), as Baltimore kept scoring runs. The Yankees did score their own run in the ,sixth, but that was their only threat off John Hiller, who has beaten New York four times in his career without a loss. Mickey Mantle beat out an in- field hit, took third on Roy White's double and scored on Bill' Robinson's sacrifice fly.

Orioles maul Iosox, dela4'y pennant finals,, CLEVELAND hAP - American League umpires Al Salerno and William Valentine were fired yes- terday by League President Joe Cronin and Valentine said it was because they tried to organize an American League, umpires' asso- clation. "There's no doubt that we were released from our jobs because of our activities," Valentine said at a news conference. Salerno added: "I don't care if I never umpire another game .. . It's very important that this be brought into the open and I hope it will improve conditions for other umpires." In Boston, Bob Holbrook, ex-! ecutive assistant to Cronin, con- firmed that both men had been released and both have been paid for the remainder of the season, along with severance pay. The league did not confirm that Salerno and Valentine were fired for organizational activities. Valentine also said all 40 major league umpires are organizing into one group. The National League umpires already are in the Na- tional League Umpires Associa- tion. Salerno and Valentine said they went to Chicago last Friday to attend the National League Um- piree Association meeting and to sound out their counterparts on the idea of a similar organization in the American League. Valentine said the National Leaguers were very receptive. It was at the Chicago meeting that the umpires decided to have one group instead of one in each league, Valentine said. Valentine said cards then were sent to the 20 American League umpires asking each man for au- thorization to be represented by the new association. "We have a majority already," Valentine said, adding that all cards haven't been been returned yet. "We had a majority before we even went to Chicago," he added. Valentine said he and Salerno were notified within five minutes of each other that they were fired. "Cronin told Salerno he would give him 10 days severance pay," Valentine said. "He told me I would get 30 days severance." The two umpires were in Cleve- land for Tuesday night's game be- tween the Indians and Washing- ton Senators. The two others in the crew are Emmett Ashford and Jim Honochick. By The Associates Press BOSTON 'Don Buford belted a grand slam homer and Brooks Robinson and Boog Potell con- tribut'ed solo shots as the Balti- moreOrioles delayed I~etroit's American League 'pennant cele- bration last night with an 8-1 vic- tory over the Boston Red Sox. Buford, who also had a pair of singles, nailed down the. victory for right-hander Tom Phoebus with his 15th homer, a line shot with the bases loaded capping 'a five-run fourth against Boston starter Jim Lonborg. Carl Yastrzemski, keeping' his average above .300 in a bid for a second straight batting title, singled home a Boston run in the first. Brooks Robinson tied the count with his 16th homer in the secs} ond. He added a single in the decisive fourth and a double 'in a two run fifth. Rick Renick led off the ninth ining with a home run against Sammy Ellis, giving the Minnesota Twins a 4-3 victory over Califor- nia yesterday. The Twins spotted the Angeles three unearned runs on Jackie Hernandez' two errors in the fourth inning, then rallied to tie with three in the eighth., George Brunet blanked the Twins on six singles until the eightha when a walk and Cesar Tovar's double scored a run and 'finished him. The Twins went on to tie as Tovar scored on a wild pitch by reliever Marty Pattin, Carew tripled him home. *. * * SAN FRANCISCO - Willie Mc- Covey drove in four runs, half of them with a seventh inning double that keyed a five-run rally and led the San Francisco Giants to an 8-4 victory over Cincinnati. McCovey's RBI spree, before a' turnout of 2,316-lowest in the Giants' San Francisco history- carried him intos a tie for the Na- tional League lead with Chicago's Billy Williams at 97 apiece. * * * PHILADELPHIA - R o o k i e Dock Ellis hurled a three-hitter for his first complete game and Donn Clendenon dove in two runs with a single andl his 16th home1 run as Pittsburgh beat Philadel- phia 6-1 last night. The Pirates jumped on starter Rick Wise for two runs in the first inning on singles by Gene Alley, Matty Alou, Roberto Clemente and Clendenon. NEW YORK YANKEE second baseman, Horace Clark, was caught off balance after a collision with Tiger Dick McAuliffe (24) in the first inning. McAuliffe was called safe after Mickey Stanley's infield grounder was mishandled, and went on to score the first Detroit run in the 8-1 rout. The Tigers, having clinche a tie for the pennant, need only their own win tonight, or Baltimore's loss to sent them to the World Series.

The life to Which he had been accustomed, oneIof glo- rious press clippings and All- State honors, evaporates into an anonymity which can blunt the enthusiasm of any player, but es- pecially that of an offensive back, who is used to receiving the great- est amount of attention.' However, no such lack of in- terest seemed, present as coach Bill Dodd's freshman took to the Ferry Field practice gridirons last week. Coach Dodd, 'ot one given to overstatement, was "very im- pressed with the enthusiasm." In fact, 59 candidates showed up for practice (substantially more than last year), of whom 17 are vying for spots in the backfield, As with the other backfield po- sitions, the battle for the quarter- back slot is wide open, since prac- tice-in-earnest began only " last week. Bruce Elliott, son of former Illinois head coach Pete Elliott, is given a good shot at the post. A six-footer southpaw with good speed and an ability to cut quick- ly, hestarred as a defensive back in his high school days.. Other candidates for this posi- tion, all tall, rangy men, include Bill Ross, 6'3" from Beaver Falls, Pa. the home of Lord Namath), DInnis Connell (6'2" from Chi- cago), and Richard Lindenfield (6'2" from St. Joseph, Mich.). All four have the ability to spot re- ceivers from the roll-out pattern popularized by Bennis Brown last season. The flanker position appears to be the strongest, with any of three men , considered more than ade- quate. Glenn Doughty comes out of Detroit with a "good speed, good catch" label, which is about all that's needed at this post. However, he should have strong competition from Tom Darden (Sandusky. Ohio) and Al Car- penter, a 203 pounder from Flint. All three are tall at 6'2" and should provide the quarterback with good targets. As in the case of the other posi- tions, no one yet has claimed the tailback slot. Frank Gusich comes from Garfield Heights, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland) with impres- sive credentials.-"He will be hard- pressed by Dave Zuccarelli, a Chi- cago teammate of Dennis Connell, and Bill Taylor, another of Mich-, igan's numerous recruits from the Buckeye state. A dark-horse in the running is Preston Henry from Flint, who "has looked real good the last couple of days," according to Coach Dodd. the only real sore spot in the backfield is at fullback, since noa one ,was recruited for the job. Several players have been tried here, but the staff is still looking for the right man. Randy Matti- yow, a 230 pound bruiser from Roseville, Mich., has been con-. verted from the tight end position. He has good speed for a man his# size, and at 6'5' should be able to gain short yardage by merely fall-, ing forward. Others paraded in include Fritz Seyforth, Mike Bonnette, Dana Coin, and Therlon Harris, who in- cidentally scored a second in the state high school wrestling tour- nament while at Ypsilanti. It appears that the Frosh this year may have to lean heavily on their passing attack, because of the lack of a strong running game. If no one plugs the hole at full- back, the offensive unit could be in for a rough year with oppo- nents keying their defensesnto the passing attack.t Another bugaboo, which could] decimate the offense is injuries,; for the Wolverines lack depth in the backfield, especially at tail-: back and fullback. In any case the burden of mov- ing the team will weigh heavily on the shoulders of the quarter- back, as there doesn't appear to be a young O. J. Simpson or Leroy Keyes to keep the defenses honest.
