hursday, October 26, 1978-The Michigan Daily SIPPERWINS A.L. HONORS: ankees NG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - The York Yankees' dramatic drive to World Championship was one of ball's most spectacular backs, but even that pales in com- on to Manager Bob Lemon's per- reversal of fortunes this year.. ly a few months ago, Lemon was iging the Chicago White Sox, a . that seemed destined to go ere. Things grew even more bleak m when he was fired on June 30. it was when his luck bottomed out. REE WEEKS later, the Yankees Lemon to replace Billy Martin. was let go by Chicago and really in the dumps. Then all of a sudden picked i I find myself managing in the World Series," said Lemon, named American League Manager of the Year yesterday by the Associated Press. "I feel like a man who's come from the lowest desert to the highest moun-. taintop. I just 'can't imagine all this happening to me." LEMON SAID following the Yankees' six-game victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series that it would take a while for him to fully -realize what's happened. He still hasn't. . "I'm trying to get some rest, but nothing's really hit me," he said. "I'm not down to earth yet." winner in Lemon WHEN LEMON took over the' Yankees, they trailed Boston by 10/2 games in the American League East. Under his guidance, they caught the Red Sox, then finally won the harrowing one-game showdown when the two clubs finished the season tied. The Yankees went on to beat Kansas City in the AL playoffs. Then, achieving a feat unprecedented in the 75-year history of the World Series, they boun- ced back to win four straight games af- ter losing the first two. Lemon, a quiet, soft-spoken man in marked contrast to the fiery Martin, seemed just the balm needed by the frequently bickering and troubled Yankees. "THE ONLY things that concerns me is what the players do between the white lines," said Lemon, a Hall of Fame pitcher who won 20 games seven times during a 13-year career with the Cleveland Indians. "This club will take advice. The players do what it takes to help the team win ball games, and that's what's important. "It seems that players today in general express themselves more, talk more freely to the media, and especially on this Yankee club. Dif- ferent managers express themselves in different ways, too," Lemon continued. "I guess it has a lot to do with how you were brought up, whether you're a sort of quiet person or whether you talk a lot. I do know you can't force your per- sonality on somebody else, whether you're a player or a manger. Nothing bad has happened to me in that regard so far, knock on wood." LEMON SPURNS rah-rah leadership and said he had just one formal meeting with the Yankees, that one during his first day on the job. "We had a five-minute meeting and I just told them that as far as I was con- cerned, the season started that day and to go out there and win some games and have some fun." They did. :,, Sprnt4 " the kai4 Rangers' Hargrove traded By the Associated Press \5 Jufy rIoo y otbyM DAnENJAI Double crunch igan defenders Mark Braman (28) and Michael Harden (40) hit Michigan e tailback Steve Smith (20) from two angles during the Spartans' 24-15 upset e Wolverines.

Hargrove, infielder Kurt Bevacqua and catcher Bill Fahey were dealt to the Padres for outfielder Oscar Gamble, catcher Dave Roberts and an estimated $300,000. "They probably did a good thing to trade me to the other league," Hargrove said. "If they hadn't, I'd come in with a crowbar, a stick of dynamite and a shotgun and would have eaten first base if I had to to help beat Texas." Hargrove, who batted .251 with seven home runs and 40 runs batted in this season, became the latest bargaining chip in the wheeling-dealings of team owner Brad Corbett. Gamble, contacted in Montgomery, Ala., said he welcomed the trade because he hits "better in the American League-because I played more when I was over there." "I knew it would come some day, but I'm surprised and hurt it happened this soon," said Hargrove, the American League Rookie of the Year in 1974. Hargrove got the official word Tuesday night during a dinner with Cor- bett, reported the Dallas News and Dallas Times Herald. Former Texas Rangers manager Bill Hunter had described Hargrove as "the kind of guy you like to build a team around." But Hunter-was axed with just one game left in the season, and now the player he prized has been traded in an apparent economy move by the Ranger management. "I've had some time to get over the shock and I'm looking forward to going there," said Hargrove. "But I didn't want to leave. I don't understand it other than maybe the economics involved." The Hargrove swap is the second trade for the Rangers since the end of the season. Earlier, they dealt slugger Bobby Bonds and pitcher Len Parker Cleveland for pitcher Jim Kern and infielder Larvell Blanks. Lafleur staying with Habs TORONTO-Jerry Petrie, agent for Montreal Canadiens' hockey star Guy Lefleur, said last night Lafleur is not planning to leave the club because of a salary dispute. In an earlier report published in a Montreal newspaper, Petrie had been quoted as saying that he had issued an ultimatum to the Canadiens: if Lafleur did not have a new agreement by Wednesday night, he would sit out future games. Lafleur dressed and was on the ice for last night's game after Petrie told reporters the 27-year-old right winger will remain with Montreal "until a satisfactory conclusion is realized.'' By BOB EMORY Squeaky tennis shoes and all, the defending state champion Central Michigan women's volleyball team couldn't overcome a determined Michigan squad as the Wolverines ousted the Chips three games to one at the Central Campus Recreation Building last Tuesday evening. THE CHIPPEWAS, who were wearing a{ certain brand of gym shoes that made a high-pitched squeaking noise against the floor, suffered their first defeat at the hands of a four-year college in the last two seasons. "We were pathetic," said CMU's head coach Marcy Weston. "We made all kinds of mistakes, like trying to return shots that would have gone out and letting others fall in between players. I don't want to take anything away from Michigan, they played a very good match, but we didn't deserve to win even one game." The Wolverines won the first game, coming from behind three times to win, 15-13. But Central came roaring back from a 6-2 deficit to win the second game by a 15-7 score. The 'Wolverines A smooth take-off Philadelphia Flyer forward Mel Bridgman is tripped and sent into the air by, New York Islander defenseman in Tuesday night's game. The game ended in 4-4 tie. Spikers upset Chips;" B ig, Ten torney nextn led in the second game 6-2 at one point, before the Chips ran off 13 of the last 14 points to even the match. MICHIGAN COACH Sandy Vong was very ,pleased with his team's perfor mance, as their dual match record-wen to 6-3 on the year. "I thought the girl played real well," he said. "They (Cen tral) had beaten us three games t nothing earlier in the year in Mt Pleasant so we had something t prove.' The Wolverines gad an easier time in the last two games, winning 15,6 and 15 12 as Central's record dropped to a stil impressive 19-5 on the season. At on point in the third game, Michiga scored 13 points to only two for Centra as they made a rout of that contest. I the last game, the lead changed hand six times before the Wolverines erupte for five straight points to take an I lead that they never relinquished. The Blue spikers will now head Champaign, Ill. this weekend to pa ticipate in the Big Ten tournamen Vong feels his young team shoul definitely improve on last year's eighti place finish in that event.

On Saturday Stoll would invade Michigan Stadium to defend the Little Brown Jug trophy which he wrestled from the Wolverines 16-0 last year in the north country.
