DODGERS SLAM PHILLIES, 7-1
KC serves
Yankees
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Hal McRae, John
Mayberry and Al Cowens slugged
home runs yesterday, powering the
Kansas City Royals to a 7-2 victory
over the New York Yankees in the
opening game of the American
League playoff series.
Little Freddie Patek doubled home
two other Kansas City runs as the
Royals made quick work of Yankees''
ace Don Gullett, knocking him out in
just two innings. Paul Splittorff rode
the heavy support to an easy victory
that gave the Royals a vital jump in
the best-of-five championship play-
off.
'he home runs by McRae and
Mayberry were two-run shots, while
Cowens tagged a solo homer. Thur-
man Munson accounted for the
Yankees scoring with a third-inning
homer.
The Royals wasted no time against
Gullett, whose 14-4 record during the
regular season gave him the best
winning percentage in the American
League.
Patek, leading off the game,
walked on four pitches, and when
Gullett's first pitch to McRae also
was a ball, Manager Billy Martin
paid a hasty, visit to the pitcher.
Gullett got strikes on his next two
pitches, but then McRae got all of the
next one, sending it over the 387-foot
sign in left field for a quick 2-0 lead.
Gullett retired the first two batters
in the second inning, but then walked
Darrel Porter and the Royals' catch-
er slid safely into second when Frank
White's infield single backed up
Graig Nettles and the Yankee third
baseman's throw to second was a bit
late.

That brought up Patek, the major
league's smallest player at 5-foot-4.
He ripped a shot inside the third base
line and Porter scored easily.
New York left fielder Lou Piniella,
thinking the ball was a ground rule
double, eased up on it, and when third
base coach Chuck Hiller noticed that,
he frantically waved White home.
The Yankees argued briefly over the
call by third base umpire Nick
Bremigan, but,alike everything else
on the sun-splashed day, it went
against New York.
At the start of the third inning,
Dick Tidrow was' on the mound for
the Yankees with Gullett finished
after four runs, four hits and two
walks in just two innings.
With one out in the third, Cowens,
who finished with three hits, beat out
a single up the middle. Tidrow got
Amos Otis on a fly ball, but the
muscular Mayberry powered the
next pitch well beyond the 353-
foot sign in right field and the Royals'
lead was 6-0.
The Yankees scored in the bottom
of the third when Mickey Rivers, who
had three of the eight hits allowed by
Splittorff opened with a single and
Munson drove the next pitch into the
lower seats in left field. One out later,
Piniella backed Cowens to the right
field wall for his long drive that had
the crowd of 54,930 on its feet.
New York wasted Willie Ran-
dolph's two-out double in the fourth
and Cowens made a leaping catch of
Rivers' home run bid in the fifth.
Meanwhile, Tidrow silenced the
Royals through the middle four
innings, holding them hitless over
that stretch. But the Yankees were
unable to solve Splittorff.
It stayed 6-2 until the eighth. Then
Cowens, leading off, lofted Kansas
City's third home run of the game
into the lower stands in left field.
The Yankees' best chance at
Splittorff turned out to be an early
one. With New York trailing 4-0 in the
second inning, Piniella, leading off,
singled to left, just over the leap of
Patek, probably the only shortstop in
baseball not tall enough to snare the
line drive.

When Splittorff walked Chambliss
leading off.the ninth inning, Kansas
City Manager Whitey Herzog lifted
the left-hander and brought in Doug
Bird, who finished off the Yankees.
The Royals barely missed ending
the game with a triple play. Johnson
singled, giving New York runners at
first and second against Bird. Ran-
dolph then hit a smash to third
baseman George Brett, who stepped
on the bag and relayed to White at
second for the double play. Randolph
barely beat the relay to first,
preventing the triple play.
Splittorff was 2-0 against the
Yankees during the regular season
and 11-3 lifetime against New York
before the game. He also was the
Royals' winning pitcher against the
Yankees in the second game of last
year's playoffs.
Phillies-p hall
LOS ANGELES - Dusty Baker's
grand slam homer powered the Los
Angeles Dodgers to a 7-1 victory over
Even up
But Baker, who in the final garde^,of
the regular season became the fourth
Dodgers player to hit 30 home runs this
year, blasted a 1-2 breaking ball oves
the fence near the 370-foot sign. It4 s
the second grand slammer for the
Dodgers in the first two games of(41te
best-of-five series.
Ron Cey had hit the first grand slam
in the nine-year history of the National
League championship series Tuesday
night, but his blast couldn't prevent the
Phillies from winning 7-5.
Baker's homer broke a 1-1 tie and
paved the way for right-hander Doi
Sutton to coast to the victory.

ame apiece. The series continues in Philadelphia Friday night. Tonight the Yankees try to even their series against Kansas
City with Ron Guidry pitching for New York versus Larry Gura of the Royals.

Special to The Dally
PONTIAC-The New York Cosmos and the Santos soc-
cer club of Brazil proved last night that the Detroit Lions
do not have exclusive rights to kicking the ball around on
the artificial turf at the Silverdome.
Pele's latest team, the Cosmos, champions of the North
American Soccer League, and his original team with
which he won three World Cups (1958, 62, 70), Santos,
played to a 1-1 tie in their own brand of "futbol." The
game was played before 24,689 partisan Cosmos fans,
the largest crowd ever to see a soccer match in
Michigan.
UNFORTUNATELY, the Silverdome fans did not
have the treat of seeing the dazzling Pele, who played his
final game last Saturday, against the same Santos con-
tingent.
Steve Hunt, the Cosmos playmaker and most valuable
player in their championship game against Seattle, did
not make the trip either.
Santos controlled action throughout the entire first
half, but came away on the short end of a 1-0 score. The
Brazilians tested Erol Yasin, New York's substitute
goalie, continuously but they could not hit their mark.
TWICE IN THE second half, Santos right winger
Nilton rattled shots off the Cosmos goalpost. With 26
minutes elapsed in the initial half, the New Yorkers
gained the momentum and the lead when their scoring
star Giorgio Chinaglia converted a -pinpoint pass from
Jadranko Topic.
The second half was no different from the first, as San-
tos dominated from the outset. This time their perser-
verence paid off when Reynaldo blasted a booming drive
past the startled Cosmos goalie, "Mr. Skol Tobacco"
Shep Messing.
At the finish of the contest, an overtime should have
been played, but due to the players weariness, they can-
celled the extra session and the game's trophy was
awarded charitably by the Santos club to the Cosmos.
COSMOS STAR Franz Beckenbauer, recognized as the
premier player in the world, believes American soccer
to be "much more difficult due to both the different
styles and different nationalities playing on an astroturf
field."
Beckenbauer looks enthusiastically to next season but
also looks back pleasureably on this campaign playing
with Pele: "He is a great player and a great person. It
was a good time that I'll never forget."
Neither will we, Franz.
Cosmos goalie Messing, former Harvard goalkeeper.
sees Detroit as possibly having a professional soccer
team.
"They have a beautiful stadium, and I was impressed
with the makeupof the crowd-kids, families."
