LEWIS Special to The Daily Jack Morris pitched a fire-hit gem, A prf'orniance mighu pleasin' To the Tigers and their loyal fans At flie end ofa hum-drun seasot. DETROIT-The New York Yankees won't be celebratingetheir clinching of the AL East championship here this weekend, and they can thank Jack Morris and Lance Parrish for spoiling their plans. Parrish smacked two run-scoring triples along with a single while Morris hurled eight and one-third innings of five-hit ball as the Tigers stopped New York, 5-1, before 27,318 appreciative onlookers. The Yankees' loss left them at 99-56, five and one-half games ahead o second-place Baltimore with only sever games remaining. The Orioles squan- dered a chance to gain ground on New York as they dropped their second straight game at Cleveland, 6-5. Baltimore's defeat reduced the Yankees' magic number to three-that is, any combination of Yankee wins and Oriole losses totaling three will guaran- tee the New Yorkers their fourth divisional crown in five years. Yesterday,; however, the Yanks (18-4 during the month of September) were held in check by Morris, who evened his record at 15-15. Aurelio Lopez came or in the ninth torecord his 20th save. Morris struggled at the outset of the contest, walkingsthree batters in the first two innings and committing a balk. In fact. it looked for a moment as though he wouldn't survive the opening frame. Willie Randolph led off with a walk, advanced to third on a fly out and the balk, then scored on Bob Watson's in- field grounder. Shortstop Alan Tram- mell fielded the hot shot and threw te the plate, but Randolph already had crossed home safely. Oscar Gamble followed with a single to right, but Morris eased out of the jam by inducing Jim Spencer to bounce inte a double play, one of three twin killings the Tigers turned over behind Morris. Morris' counterpart, Tommy John (22-9) did not have one of his finest ef- forts of the season. Normally a control artist, the 37-year-old lefthander yesterday surrendered four walks and hit a batter (Rick Peters), plus being touched for ninehits, three each by Jim Lentine and Parrish. The Tigers reached John for two tain- S "f e I, ted runs in the third. With one out, Len- tine looped a broken-bat single to right and Lou Whitaker walked. Then Peters hit a grounder between second and fir- st. First baseman Watson reached for the ball, but Whitaker cleverly blocked his line of sight by delaying his dash toward second base. The ball skipped past Watson, coming to rest in short right field as Lentine scored and Whitaker raced to third. He subsequently scored the game-winner on Trammell's ground out. The Tigers added a run in the sixth when Parrish tripled home Steve Kemp, who had singled. They tallied twice in the eighth on a walk, another Parrish triple and Al Cowens' sacrifice fly.

Ladies State tame By RON POLLACK Special t The Daily EAST LANSING- After two unsuccessful attempts, the Michigan State Spartans finally give irst year head coach Muddy Waters his 4irst win in a 33-7' victory over the Western Michigan Broncos yesterday, behind Anthony Ellis' three touchdown runs. The victory ended Michigan State's three-game losing streak (including 1979 season-ending loss to Iowa) and brought an end to the Broncos' streak of eight consecutive wins. WESTERN MICHIGAN'S downfall was due to an overabundance of mistakes. In total, the Broncos had *ight fumbles, losing five, and two in- erceptions. On the opening kickoff, the Broncos' Osbe Hoskins fumbled and the Spartans recovered inside Western Michigan's twenty yard line. Michigan State had a first down on the five yard line, but could not punch it into the end zone, on four consecutive running plays. WESTERN MICHIGAN lost three more fumbles in the first quarter, but ichigan State was unable to capitalize. Going into the second quar- Broncos a fter-touchdowns at 62. The Big Ten record is 65. ELLIS SCOREDHIS third and final touchdown of the day on an eight yard jaunt, early in the fourth quarter. Andersen later made up for the missed extra point, with field goals of 49 and 44 yards to make the score 33-0.

The Spartans first score came early in the second quarter behind the run- iig and pass receiving of senior run- Kiig back Steve Smith. This touchdown drive was capped by a five-yard pass from starting quarterback Brian Clark to Smith: Later in the second quarter, Ellis scored on a one-yard run following yet another Western Michigan fumble, giving State a 14-0 halftime lead. The third quarter began just as the first half ended, with the Broncos tur- ing the ball over when George Cooper .cked off a Tom George pass.
