(AP) - The Kansas City Royals, rallying behind the five-hit pitching of Bret Saberhagen, completed one of baseball's most .shocking comebacks last night and won their first World Series championship, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 11-0 in the decisive seventh game. The Cardinals, who had seen their 3- 1 lead in games vanish along with their hitting, simply collapsed in the final game. WHAT HAD been billed as the greatest seventh-game pitching mat- _ chup in more than two decades went up in smoke created by the Royals bats. The Cardinals' ace, 21-game winner John Tudor, couldn't even .make it through the third inning and wound up in a Kansas City hospital for stitches after cutting his index finger on an electric fan in the clubhouse. ".-The destruction occured at the han- ds of platoon outfielder Darryl Motley, who hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs; Steve Balboni, * who drove in two of Kansas City's three runs in the third inning, and the suddenly rejuvenated George Brett, who had four hits. The Royals put the game away with six runs in the fifth inning, during which both pitcher Joaquin Andujar and Manager Whitey Herzog were ejected by home plate umpire Don Denkinger. Herzog had argued a critical Denkinger call at first base that fueled the Royals' winning, ninth- inning rally in Game 6, and con- secutive ball calls on inside pitches to Royals catcher Jim Sundberg brought all the frustration erupted to the sur- face. WHILE THE Royals completed a comeback unprecedented in the game recovering not only from a 1-3 deficit in the American League playoffs but from 0-2 and 1-3 disadvantages in the Series - the Cardinals faded into of- fensive oblivion. Part of the Cardinals' offensive woes probably could be traced to the absence of injured leadoff hitter Vince Coleman, but the lack of St. Louis hit- ting also had to be a tribute to the young, well-schooled pitching staff of the Royals. THE ROYALS pitchers not only quieted the St. Louis bats but frustrated and eventually halted altogether the vaunted running game of the Cardinals. The Cards had stolen 314 bases during the season, for an average of nearly two a game, but managed just two swipes in the Series against the predominantly left- handed Royals staff. This night, however, belonged to a 21-year-old right-hander by .the name of Saberhagen, whose wife, Janeane, had given birth to their first child, son Drew, the day before. Saberhagen, who had won Game 3 to give the Royals hope, struck out two and walked none. Saberhagen, selected most valuable player, allowed a second-inning single to Jack Clark, then retired 11 in a row before giving up another single to Tito Landrum with two out in the fifth in- ning. He also allowed singles to Ozzie Smith, Andy Van Slyke and Terry Pendleton. By BARB McQUADE Michigan center Roy Tarpley will undergo arthroscopic, surgery today to examine a nyperextended knee in- jured during practice last Tuesday. "We're hopeful that it's nothing," said Michigan head coach Bill Frieder. "We hope he'll be back prac- ticing in a couple weeks." The 6-11 senior twisted his right knee in a collision with 6-8 forward Butch Wade, according to assistant coach Steve Fisher. Frieder and team physician Dr. Jerry O'Connor decided to go ahead with the surgery, the fifth-year coach said, when swelling in the knee did not subside. "There's still some swelling," he said, "and it's been almost a week since it happened." If the exploratory surgery shows a more severe injury than a hyperex- tension and Tarpley is out longer than expected, Frieder has not yet deter- mined a replacement. "We'll have to go out and find ourselves a center," he said. The most likely choice is Robert Henderson. The 6-9 senior averaged five points and 4.2 rebounds per game last season. Tarpley notched 19.3 points and 10.3 rebounds for the Big Ten champion Wolverines. Michigan's success last season was partly due to lack of injuries, Frieder said earlier in the week. "Last year we had great luck," he said. "We were injury free." Practice began two weeks ago, and the Wolverines tip-off the season at the Chaminade Hawaiian Tour- nament, November 22 and 23, in Maui. Michigan then travels to Springfield, Mass., Thanksgiving weekend for the Hall of Fame game versus Georgia Tech. Tarpley ... at least two weeks BG ROUGH ON BLUE: Icers spl'it with Falcons By MARK BOROWSKY Michigan's hockey team played its best hockey of the season over the weekend with Bowling Green, earning a split with the seventh-ranked Falcons. It was lucky, however, the split was in games instead of heads or bodies. The Wolverines outhustled and out- chanced BG Friday night in a 7-5 win. Saturday, with the teams moving from Yost to BG's State Ice Arena, the Falcons scored six second-period unanswered goals en route to a 11-5 blowout. But what concerned head coach Red Berenson after Saturday night's loss was not the score. "(FRESHMAN defenseman) Myles O'Connor was deliberately speared and (junior center) Brad Jones was two-handed," said an angry but calm Berenson after Saturday's contest. "Last night Jones was speared, and they just happen to be two of our best players. And don't anyone tell you it wasn't premeditated or planned." O'Connor was decked by BG's Mike Lori in the stomach late in the second period in retaliation for Michigan's Chris Seychel's apparent spear to BG's Brian Meharry on Friday. Lori had nailed Brad Jones earlier in Friday night's game. Despite the muggings and Satur- day's score, Berenson was satisfied with the Wolverines'. weekend. "Overall it was a good weekend," said Berenson, who saw his team's record go to 3-3. "I don't think that tonight's score should ruin our weekend. We played a good game last night and a good first period tonight." Michigan tightened its much- maligned defense Friday night, effec- tively neutralizing BG's high scoring tandem of Jamie Wansbrough and Paul Ysebaert. Last season the two scored a combined 125 points, but only managed one assist and no goals Friday. Brad Jones continued his assault on opposing goalies, scoring three goals Last night Jones was speared...and don't anyone tell you it wasn't premeditated or plan- ned.' -Red Berenson and three assists. Jones survived the spear by Lori to score the game win- ner with only 1:58 left in the game to break a 5-5 tie. Forward Tom Stiles passed the puck from behind the net to right wing Billy Powers, who in turn dropped a pass in front of the net to the onrushing Jones. Jones blasted a shot past BG goalie Dan Kwilas, who started in place of an injured Gary Kruzich. "I got caught in the defensive zone, and busted right down the zone when I saw the opening," said Jones, who completed his second career hat trick with the game-winner. Because of the talent on Bowling Green, Michigan knew it had to play tight hockey with little room for error, which is exactly what it did. The Wolverines capitalized on power t plays (3 for 6), kept Bowling Green from scoring on its power plays (3 for 9), and kept the game close (BG's largest lead was one goal). Freshman center Todd Brost had an excellent game in leading the penalty-killing unit, and captain Frank Downing, who was moved up to the first line to shore up the defense, ended up scoring two goals. Needless to say, it was the best three periods of hockey Michigan has put together in the young season. And after one period Saturday night, no one would have questioned the possibility of a Michigan sweep. The Wolverines excelled, taking a 1-0 lead on a Brad Jones slap shot at 18:10. Then the Falcons woke up and the game turned into a slugfest. Only 39 seconds into the period, BG's Brian McKee scored on a screened Bob Lindgren, and less than a minute later Don Barber stuffed the puck in the corner of the cage to give the Falcons the lead for good. Before the period had ended, BG had scored seven times, and Michigan only twice. Like the weekend previous with Ferris State, Michigan fell far behind and was left clutching at straws. If all the second period scoring became monotonous, then the hit-and- run - stickhandling of Mark Lori was not. The Bowling Green right wing left Myles O'Connor gasping for air, sprawling on the ice as the result of Lori's handiwork. "Both of us were skating out together and he turned around and gave me a good jab right in the mid- section," said freshman O'Connor, who has had a most pleasant start in colkgiate hockey. °"I thought I was going to throw up; I was kind of dry- heaving out there." The Falcons added four goals in the third period and Michigan two to close out the scoring, and the Wolverines headed home with a split and some bruises to boot. CHINA? In December?

Detroit drowns Dolphins GRIDDE PICKS, By RICK KAPLAN Special to the Daily APONTIAC - The schedule maker did not smile on the Detroit Lions this season. When first-year coach Darryl Rogers discovered Super Bowl Champion San Francisco 49ers and AFC Champion Miami Dolphins back-to-back in October, he probably lost several nights' sleep. Well, Rogers will sleep like a baby this week after his Lns dumped the Dolphins yesterday at the Silverdome, 31-21, to complete a sweep of the Super Bowl combatants. DETROIT'S offense was almost as superb as Miami's 11efense was porous. Lion running back James Jones grined out 114 yards on a team-record-tying 36 carries. 'In the airwars, Eric Hipple soared over Dan Marino. Ijipple completed 14 of 19 passes, mostly to Leonard Thompson and Mark Nichols, for 239 yards. Marino was 23 -for 44, for 247 yards, but his receivers dropped six tosses. Trailing 24-14 at half time, Miami got back in the game ini the third quarter. Hipple was back to pass on a second- down play from Detroit's 13-yard line, when he was leveled from the blind side by Dolphin nose tackle Mike Charles. The ball popped loose, and Miami linebacker Bob Brudzinski scooped it up and dashed seven yards for a touchdown. THE LIONS recovered their 10-point advantage on a long drive that the referees made even longer. Detroit scored 17 points on the march, but only seven counted. On the opening play of the final quarter, Hipple found Thom- pson in the end zone, but a holding penalty negated the TD. The Dolphins stopped the Lions on the next three plays, forcing Eddie Murray to kick a 30-yard field goal. But. a yellow hanky wiped that out. Rogers chose to take the points off the board when the Dolphins were penalized for holding. The Lions accepted the automatic first down at the Miami seven. Jones powered over from the half-yard line on third and goal. The Lions scored every time they touched the ball in the first half. Jones's slashing, off-tackle runs and Hipple's completions to Thompson and Nichols on short crossing patterns led the home team to 10-0 first quarter lead. Miami tight end Joe Rose did the bulk of the work on the Dolphins' first scoring drive. Rose caught two key third- down Marino aerials, and was rewarded with the score, on a 19-yard reception over the middle. The world has been saved. Griddes fans can breathe easier now that Willard Tu has made the game respectable again. Tu breezed to an easy victory this week with a record of 18-1-1.
