cf the National League, was

contract in February as a free
agenm. He has consistently been
arout' .300 in batting averages

Brock moves
in on Cobb
as top thief
Lou Brock, the base-stealing
kenius of the St. Louis Cardi-
nals, stole another one last
night to move within five thefts
of a~l-time leader Ty Cobb in
that category.
When Brock took second in
the game against the Montreal
Expo., it was his 22nd of the
season, but, more importantly,
the 887 of his career.
The modern major league re-
cord for swipes is held by Cobb,
woo raptured 892 in his long
creer with the Tigers.
Montreal has built acres of
shopping centers beneath its
streets.
In addition to his pitching and
hitting Carlton picked off two
base runners. Gene Clines sin-
gled in the first and was picked
off and Greg Cross singled in
the fifth and was caught stray-
ing too far from first.
Cubs starter Rick Reuschel,
15-5, has in the past two
weeks made four starts and
failed to win. He has been
troubled by a bad back.
Philadelphia centerfielder Gar-
ry Maddox saved a run in the
third but sustained a separated
shoulder when he crashed into
the centerfield wall after catch-
ing Clines' deep drive. Maddox
will probably be out for three
to four weeks.
Yankees romp
CLEVELAND-Dennis Ecker-
sley pitched a one-hitter and
Andre Thornton drove in two
runs with a sixth-inning double,
giving the Cleveland Indians a
2-0 victory over the Milwaukee
Brewers in the first game of a
doubleheader last night.
The victory was Cleveland's
third in a row and raised Ecker-
sley's record to 11-9.
The only hit off the young
right-hander was a two-out,
first-inning triple to right by
Cecil Cooper. Jimmy Wynn
reached base leading off the
second on an error by third
baseman Buddy Bell, but Eck-
ersley then retired the last 24
Milwaukee hitters.
The Indians got eight hits off
Milwaukee starter and ex-Wol-
verine hurler Lary Sorensen,
3-6. They got the only runs they
needed in the sixth. Jim Norris
led off with a double and went
to third on Duane Kuiper's sac-
rifice bunt. Bell was intention-
ally walked and Thornton drill-
ed a double down the left field
line, scoring both runners.

NEW YORK-Chris Chambliss
drove in three runs with a pair
of home runs, Reggie Jackson
knocked in three more with a
double and a triple and Catfish
Iumter s n a p p e d a personal
three-game losing streak as the
New York Yankees beat the
California Angels 10-1 yesterday
in the opener of a twi-night dou-
bleheader.
It was Hunter's 208th career
triumph. He has beaten the An-
gels 26 times, more than any
other team, but the six-hit effort
only evened his 1977 record at
7-7.
The Angels scored on a first-
inning homer by Jerry Remy,
his third of the season. It was
the 24th home run yielded by
Hunter in 102 innings this sea-
son, but he allowed only three
singles and two doubles the
rest of the way.
Chambliss t i e d the score
against loser Ken Brett, 10-9, in
the second inning with his 10th
home run and the Yankees took
the lead with a run in the fourth
on doubles by Thurman Munson
and Jackson.
Jackson t r i p l e d home two
runs in the sixth. Roy White
homered in the eighth and
Chambliss slammed his second
homer in the eighth.
