Royals beat Yanks;
Dodgers nip Phils
By The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY -- Hal McRae, who in-
furiated the New York Yankees in the
second game with two controversial
slides, destroyed them with a pair of
doubles that paced Kansas City to a 6-2
victory last night and a 2-1 lead in the
American League championship play-
off. .
Dennis Leonard pitched a masterful
four-hitter for the Royals' second vic-
tory in the best-of-five series, leaving
Kansas City only one triumph away
from its first World Series.
Amos Otis, angered by a lineup swit-
ch that benched him, delivered a clutch
two-run pinch double that supplied the
Royals' wrapup runs, but it was the
two-base hits by McRae that dug the
hole from which the Yankees never
emerged.
McRae, whose 54 doubles during the
regular season was the highest total for
any American League player in 27
years, lashed leadoff two-baggers in the

third and fifth innings and scored both
times on infield outs by Al Cowens.
McRae had been credited Thursday
night with awakening the Yankees by
his aggressive slides into second base-
man Willie Randolph and shortstop
Bucky Dent. But Leonard put the
Yainkee bats right back to sleep with a
powerful performance. He was in con-
trol throughout.
After Roy White doubled in the first
inning but was out trying to stretch his
hit, Leonard retired 12 Yankees in or-
der, and by the time New York put
another man on base, Kansas City had
a lead it would never surrender.

race," said Donakowski. "My strength
was good and I've had good workouts
this past week.

before the race- than usual,"y
Donakowski added. "It might not pay
off now, but it should pay off later and

championships, Warhurst noted,
"Some teams may win the battle, but
they don't win the war."

"It (right leg) was tightening up on
me as the race went on," commented
McGuire after the race. "I tried to
sprint when I felt good but I was just too
tight."
McGUIRE'S LEG condition is just a
temporary and the junior All-American
expects to be in action against
Michigan State in next Friday's dual

was optimistic following the team's
second race of the season. "We
achieved our time goal but we just
didn't get close enough," said Warhur-
st.
"You can't take anything away from
Eastern Illinois. They just outran us,"
conmented Warhurst.
"I'm not worried at all though
because we haven't done any speed
work yet, and when we start speed

located near Toronto, to a 2-2 tie
yesterday.
The Clubbers jumped to a quick two
goal advantage in the first half and led

when Guelph scored to earn the 2-2 tie.
Wolverine winger Kathy Dennis
scored the first Michigan goal and inner
Jan Issac tallied the other.
Michigan controlled the contest by
out shooting their opponent 24 to 12.
"We had lots of .opportunities to
score, but we were unable to convert
the good scoring chances into goals,"
said Michigan Coach Phyllis Ocker.
"They (Guelph) broke through 6tir
de ense a couple of times to score their
goals. They took advantage of their
scoring chances," explained Ocker.

University of Toronto and the Univer-
sity of Waterloo today, completing their
Canadian trip. Toronto is the defending
