Boston 1, Detroit 0
Jim Rice drilled his 45th home run
and Mike Torrez pitched a three-hitter
for his first victory since August 18 as
the Boston Red Sox edged the Detroit
Tigers 1-0 last night for their fifth con,-
secutive triumph.
Torrez, 0-6 in eight starts during his
prolonged slump, survived unusual
wildness in overpowering the Tigers as
the Red Sox completed a three-game
series sweep with their ninth victory in
their last 11 games. He walked seven.
The Red Sox backed Torrez with four
double plays, each coming after a
Detroit batter had led off an inning with
a walk.
Torrez also was saved by center
fielder Fred Lynn, who fielded a single
by Milt May with two out in the fourth
and fired a strike to the plate to cut
down Jason Thompson trying to score
from second,
Detroit rookie Kip Young, 6-7 since
being called up from the minors July 20,
allowed three hits but was victimized
by Rice leading off the fourth.
Torrez struck out four in improving
his record to 16-12. It was his second
shutout in 35 starts this year.

PHILADELPHIA-It's showdown time this weekend in Pittsburgh, and*
Pirates must sweep the four-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies, or
they are out of the National League East pennant race.
The Phils' magic number for a third consecutive division title is two,
meaning a single victory will send them into the NL playoffs against the Los
Angeles Dodgers next week.
"IF WE CAN'T do that, then we don't deserve to win,!' shortstop Larry
Bowa said after the Phils nipped the Montreal Expos here Wednesday night
to increase their lead to 3 games.
Although the Pirates have been tough at home, winning 22 straight,
Philadelphia has won four of five games in Pittsburgh this season, and the
Phils lead the season series 10-4.
Philadelphia Manager Danny Ozark will open with Steve Carlton and
Dick Ruthven in tonight's doubleheader, against Bert Blyleven and long-
time nemesis Bruce Kison. Ozark is mulling over who will start the opener.
NASL files claim* * *
NEW YORK-The North American Soccer League charged in a civil
antitrust action yesterday that National Football League owners were con-
spiring to squelch competition from professional soccer because of its
growing popularity.
IT WAS CLAIMED in the suit filed by 21 NASL clubs in the'Manhattan
federal court that NFL owners are planning in the next week to expand and
reinforce a "cross-ownership ban" preventing members from owning fran-
chises in other professional sports teams.
The ban violates federal antitrust law because it restricts competition
by having a "chilling effect" on the willingness of many NFL owners to in-
vest in soccer and other franchises, claimed NASL.

Jackie Smith returns
*
ST. LOUIS-Former Pro Bowl tight end Jackie Smith is joining forces
with the Dallas Cowboys, a National Football League team he once did" his
best to beat.
But before departing for his new assignment yesterday, the 38-year-old
Smith fired a parting verbal shot at the St. Louis Cardinals, for whom he
played 15 seasons.
Smith, who last December announced his retirement, was contacted by
new Coach Bud Wilkinson and assistant operations director in August after
the Cards' starting tight end, J. V. Cain, suffered a torn Achilles tendon in
training camp.
A CLOAK-AND-DAGGER scene followed when Joe Sullivan, the team's
director of operations, denied having made Smith an overture. Smith, who
passed a physical examination, insisted the reason was his demand for a
$100,000 salary.
This week, Smith was contacted by Dallas Personnel Director Gil Bran-_
dt after Jay Saldi, the Cowboys' backup-tight end to Billy Joe Dupree, suf-
fered a broken arm in Sunday's St. Louis-Dallas game.
A trip to the Cowboys' quarters followed. And next Mohday night, when
Dallas travels to Washington for'a game against the Redskins, the NFL's
all-time leading pass-catcher among tight ends will be in a Cowboys'
uniform.
