Stabler
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP)-Quarter-
back Ken Stabler is the biggest question
mark as the Oakland Raiders gear up
for their first practice session of the
1979 National Football League season.
There are conflicting reports of
whether Stabler had definitely decided
he wants to be traded from the Raider
team which he has led to impressive
records in the past.
AL DAVIS, the Raiders' managing
general partner, has given Stabler
permission to arrange a trade for him-
self with any NFL team. But so far, in-
terest seems minimal.
Stabler had demanded a trade after
Davis made critical remarks about the
quarterback following the 1978 season.
Stabler said he would like to be dealt to
the Los Angeles Rams, the Tampa Bay
Bucs, the Atlanta Falcons or the New
York Giants.
Davis has agreed to let Stabler's at-
torney, Henry Pitts, negotiate with the
teams. The two sides have agreed on
minimum requirements for a deal, to
include two first round draft choices
and two other quality players who are
"young and healthy."
Pitts says Tampa Bay is not really in
Stabler's plans. And the reaction of the
other teams named by the quarterback
has beenless than enthusiastic.

DETROIT-Revenge is sweet, and
the Tigers gained more of their share
against the Minnesota Twins last night.
Pinch hitter Champ Summers blasted a
two-run homer in the Bengal ninth, and
his mates pushed another across to beat
the Twins, 6-5.
After Summers had hit his ninth
round tripper of the season off Mike
Marshall (9-9), Ron LeFlore walked,
putting the winning run on first.
LeFlore came through with yet another
stolen base, then dashed to third when
catcher Butch Wynegar's pickoff throw
sailed into center field.
With the speedy outfielder at third
with only one down, all Lou Whitaker
had to do was stroke the ball to the out-
field to score the winner. But Sweet Lou
went one step further-he singled shar-
ply to score LeFlore and end the Tigers'
four-game losing skid.
Tigers out of the jam unscathed.
Kemp was again the hero on offense
in the bottom half of the first frame.
With Lou Whitaker on first courtesy of a
walk, the lefthander jumped on Geoff
Zahn, blasting the first pitch for his
thirteenth home run of the year into the
upper deck in right center.
The Twins exploded in the top of the
fifth for four runs, sending Young to an
early shower. The Tiger starter
relinquished the mound to David Tobik
with runners on first and third and a 3-1
lead.
TOBIK WAS completely ineffective
in relief, however, walking Wynegar
and serving up a bases-loaded single to
Wilfong that tied the game. When Roy
Smalley walked to fill the bases again,
Tiger manager Sparky Anderson called
on his recently discovered bullpen ace
Aurelio Lopez to diffuse the rally.
Adams greeted Lopez with a long fly
to center that scored Wynegar with the
go-ahead run, but Lopez' fastball
retired the next two Twins to finally kill
the four-run rally.

Detroit starter Kip Young was in
trouble early, surrendering a lead-off
double to catcher Butch Wynegar
followed by second baseman Bob
Wilfong's single that advanced
Wynegar to third. The American
League's leading hitter, shortstop Roy
Smalley, shocked Young by blasting his
second pitch into the third deck only a
few feet outside the rightfield foul pole.
Smalley then went down swinging on a
low outside pitch.
