DETROIT - After all the old
men in Tiger, uniforms had per-
formed heroic chores for the
Bengals this year, Rookie Dick
Sharon decided that it was his
turn to get some acclaim.
And acclaim he got last night
as he powdered two home runs
to guide the Tigers to a 5-4 de-
cision over the inexplicably tough
Texas Rangers.
The Bengals were aided by two
Ranger throwing errors to get off
to the early start. Mickey Stan-
ley greeted Jim Merrit, 3-4, in the
first with a double. Tony Taylor
sacrificed the center fielder to
third and Stanley scored when
last night's hero Vic Harris toss-
ed Al Kaline's routine grounder
wildly to first base.
Sharon opened the second with
a tow-bagger, moved to third on
a sacrifice and scooted home
when Merritt could not connect
with the first sacker. Kaline
added another .run in the inning
with a bloop single.
But for Joe Coleman the two-
hitter he nursed into the seventh
frame was not to last.
The pesky Rangers, who refuse
to die with their spikes off, made
the contest -dangerously close
when they crossed the plate three

times in the frame. Rico Carty

two with a clean safety.
Manager Martin did what is
becoming quite common in Tiger
contests he went to the well for
ace reliever John Hiller.
Hiller responded in true fire-
man form. With two on and no
out, Hiller retired the side with-
out allowing another run.
Jeff Buroughs 10th home run
in the ninth ended the Rangers'
scoring,
Sharon put the game out of
reach in the eighth with his sec-
ond solo blast of. the night, the
first coming in the third inning.
Yanks yanked
CHICAGO - Buddy Bradford,
who has been on a hitting binge
since being recalled from the
minor leagues July 1, singled
home the tie - breaking run. in
the sixth inning last night, lead-
ing the Chicago White Sox to a
2-1 victory over the New York
Yankees.
The triumph was the seventh
for Chicago over the Yankees
who have yet to beat the White
Sox this season.
Bradford, once touted as a
super star of the future, singled
in the fifth inning and scored the
tying run before unloading his
game-winning single in the sixth.
The Yankees took a 1-0 lead
in the second inning when Ron
Blomberg led off with a single
and Graig Nettles walked. Both
runners advanced on a wild
pitch by Stan Bahnsen and after
Thurman Munson fanned.
Johnny Calison hit a sacrifice
fly to score Blomberg.
Bradford, hitting in his 11th
straight game, led off the Chi-
cago fifth with a single and Ed
Herrman reached when Bernie
Allen booted his grounder. Both
runners advanced on a sacrifice.
Eddie Leon then bounced to
shortstop Gene Michael who
threw to third to get Herrmann
while Bradford scored the tying
run. t
Sax surge
MINNESOTA - Luis Tiant
pitched a two hitter, besting Jim
Kaat's five-hitter and the Bos-
ton Red Sox nipped the Minne-
sota Twins 2-1 last night. Tiant
walked Larry Hisle in the sec-
ond and Joe Lis followed with a
double to provide the Twins with
half their hits and all their scor-
ing. Rod Carew's single in the
ninth was the other Minnesota
hit.
The Red * Sox gave Tiant the
two runs he needed in the third.
Doubles by Darrell Evans and
Mario Guerrero produced one
run and Luis Aparicio followed
with a single for the other.

BALTIMORE - Lee Stanton's
third home run of the game, a
two-run shot in the 10th inning,
carried the California Angels to
a 10-8 victory over the Balti-
more Orioles last night.
AURELIO RODRIGUEZ is touched out at home plate by Ranger backstop Kenny Suarez in last night's action. Suarez took the throw
from third baseman Victor Harris and cut down the streaking Rodriguez, who was trying to score on a grounder by Tony Taylor. The
Bengals handled the Rangers, but not wihout another close call.
