Page 16-Thursday, August 3, 1978-The Michigan Daily MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP Brewer By The AssocialedPress BALTIMORE-Larry Hisle and Sal Bando blasted home runs and Mike Caldwell notched his second straight victory as the Milwaukee Brewers took a 5-3 decision over the Baltimore Orioles last night. Prior to the regularly scheduled game, a two-out, 10th-inning single by Mike Anderson gave the Orioles a 6-5 victory in the completion of a contest suspended after nine innings by local curfew Monday night. Caldwell, 14-5, allowed solo homers to Ken Singleton and Doug DeCinces, before needing relief help in the ninth. An unearned Baltimore run scored on a Kuhn lowe rs boom NEW YORK (AP)-Commissioner Bowie Kuhn warned all American League clubs yesterday not to make public information on whether they would be interested in acquiring New York Yankee outfielder Reggie Jackson on waivers. KUHN, DISTURBED over published reports revealing which clubs would be interested in acquiring Jackson, reminded the clubs that any player placed on the waiver list comes under the classification of confidential infor- mation. The Yankees placed Jackson on waivers June 28 and was claimed by Kansas City and Baltimore. After the teams claimed him, the Yankees with- drew Jackson from the list. blasts sa Ive split with 0's Reed, who came on after Randy Lerch, to a 5-2 victory over the Kansas 6-6.

Rose, whose National League record- tying hitting streak ended at 44 games against the Braves Tuesday night, led off the game with a double. He then singled home a run in the second and led off the fourth with a single before sending a drive over the right field fen- ce in the sixth for his fifth homer of the season.

Perhaps Stearns had him all "spaced" out. THE SPORTING VIEWS By GARY KICINSKI Summertime sports simmerings ... Breaking my solemn vow that I'd never pay to see a soccer game (which I consider to be the ultimate in somnolescent sports), I succumbed to the urgings of three of my friends on a boring Sunday evening to travel to the Silverdome to see professional soccer. After all, they said convincingly, it's their last home game of the year. Although the Detroit Express people have been very courteous to the Daily in terms of press privileges, I paid my way into the game, seeing as how it was such a spontaneous decision to go in the first place. It didn't bother me at first that the cheapest seats available still cost $4, but when I arrived at my would-be seat I found in its place a pile of dusty bolts and washers. Forking over $4 was tough enough to swallow, I thought, but if they think I'm going to construct my own seat too then they've been bouncing too many balls off their heads. But with plenty of empty seats around me, we chose to sit elsewhere instead of putting up a beef.... THE SILVERDOME, which seats 80,000 plus, will be converted to the Mini- dome suitable for Piston play with the pulling of a magic blue curtain come Oc- tober. The Mini-dome will seat 22,000, but when Michigan and Notre Dame square off in a March 4th college basketball game, the Pontiac palace will be converted to the Mini-and-a-half Dome, capable of seating 55,000. Bring your binocs. -. AT LEAST THE Silverdome seats (when properly constructed) have some room in front of them to put those seemingly unimportant items you always take to sports events-like your legs. This is more than I can say for the par- tially-renovated Tiger Stadium. The Tiger's new blue seats may be an inch wider (17 instead of 16), but there is less space between the rows than you'd find in the average shoe box. .. YOU KNOW YOU'RE getting old when Charlie Sanders of the Lions is retiring already and you're still checking the newspapers to see if made Rookie- of-the-Year. . . SO JOE DIMAGGIO'S 'unbreakable' record of hitting safely in 56 con- secutive games is still-intact. But do you know anyone who was happy to see Of seats and streaks... . . . tampered and hampered Pete Rose stopped at 44? It seemed as though everyone, including many National Leaguers, was pulling for the little sparkplug to go all the way-and I for one was sure if anyone could do it, Rose could. You couldn't create a more ideal type of hitter to break Joe Dom's streak than a Pete Rose-type ballplayer. Rose is a line drive hitter who can spray the ball all over the field, and he's a good bunter and a tireless runner. Most impor- tantly, Rose could cope with the pressure of cracking such a magnanimous record. Indeed, Rose relished the attention, and the spectator ovations around the league seemed to push him even harder. No, it wasn't pressure that nipped Rose in the bud. Rose lined out twice in his hitless game Tuesday night, once being robbed on a spectacular catch by Brave hurler Larry McWilliams on a low liner through the box. You've got to have a lot of luck to go with your talents in breaking almost any kind of record, and that's one thing Rose lacked. Even in games where he had already gotten a hit he was constantly having hits taken away from him on outstanding defensive plays. So now everyone's saying that Mr. Coffee's record will never be watered down. But if you had to pick a candidate, who would it be? The name Rod Carew pops into mind immediately, but Carew is known as a different type of streak hitter. Sometimes he'll hit .450 one week and .180 the next. Looking around the American League you might nominate some of the pure hitters who always seem to hit .300-players like Lyman Bostock, Fred Lynn and Al Oliver. Or how about the Tiger's own Lou Whitaker? Whitaker is a con- sistent line drive hitter with good speed. Unlike teammate Ron LeFlore, who did fashion a 30-game streak once, "Sweet Lou" has excellent bunting ability and can always be counted on to get the bat on the ball. Over in the Astro-Turf League, the favorites would have to be somebody like the Giants' Bill Madlock, an underrated hitter despite having won two bat- ting titles, or maybe speedsters Larry Bowa, Bill North or Cesar Cedeno. But my pick would-be an up-and-coming superstar, Cardinal shortstop Garry Tem- pleton. Having hit .291 and .322 his first two years in the majors, Templeton is a proven consistent hitter (who like all the '78 Cardinals is having a tough year-.250 average). He's a switch hitter with good speed and moderate bunting ability. Whether he posseses the proper mental attitude to be able to cope with that type of pressurreemains to be seen. And whether Garry Templeton-or anyone .else-has the right amount of good luck to break the record remains to be seen.
