4 Page 10 -The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, September 22, 1987 Johnson, Strawberry lead Mets past Cubs CHICAGO (AP) - Howard Johnson hit a record-setting grand slam and Darryl Strawberry stole two bases to join Johnson in the exclusive 30-30 club Monday as the New York Mets beat the Chicago Cubs, 7-1. Johnson's eighth-inning homer off Cubs' reliever Ed Lynch was his 36th of the season, setting a National League record for most homers in a season by a switch- hitter. He broke the record of 35 set in 1934 by Rip Collins of the St. Louis Cardinals. Strawberry's two steals made the Mets the first team in major-league history to have two players with at least 30 steals and 30 homers in the same season. Strawberry has 38 homers and 30 steals, while Johnson has 36 homers and 31 steals. Dwight Gooden (15-6) pitched his seventh complete game of the season, giving up seven hits, striking out nine and walking none. Cubs starter Les Lancaster (7-2) retired 14 batters in a row before giving up a two-out single to Strawberry in the eighth with the score tied 1-1. After Strawberrytstole second, Kevin McReynolds was intentionally walked and Gary Carter beat out an infield hit to load the bases. Lynch then relieved Lancaster and gave up the grand slam to Johnson, his second of the year and fourth of his career. Blue Jays 2, Oroles 1 BALTIMORE (AP) - George Bell singled home the winning run with one out in the ninth inning, giving the Toronto Blue Jays a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles last night. Lloyd Moseby led off with a bloop double to left field on which Larry Sheets failed to make a diving catch and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Tony Fernandez. It was the third hit of the game for Bell, who started with a 2-for-35 lifetime record versus starter Mike Boddicker (10-10) and increased his American League-leading RBI total to 129. Boddicker, bothered by muscle spasms in his back throughout the game, was replaced after Bell delivered and dealt the Orioles their 18th loss in 21 games. The winner was John Cerutti (11- 4) the fourth Blue Jay pithcer who retired Fred Lynn with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. leers skate in first practice of season By KEN GOLDBERG The sounds of sticks slapping pucks, skates spraying ice, body- checks and metal whistles returned yesterday to Yost Ice Arena as the Michigan hockey team ran through its first on-ice practice of the 1987- 88 season.

Arbi'ter f inds collusion NEW YORK (AP) - Baseball owners conspired to "destroy" free agency after the 1985 season, an arbitrator said yesterday in a ruling which could force open the market for stars like Jack Clark, Dale Murphy and Cal Ripken Jr. In his 16-page decision, arbitrator Tom Roberts wrote that free agents "surely had a value at some price and yet no offers were advanced." Roberts underlined "no" in his ruling. The decision affects Kirk Gibson, Donnie Moore, and 60 other free agents, but offered no remedies. "The arbitrator found that the clubs entered into a common scheme, the effect of which was to destroy free agency," said players' union head Donald Fehr. "In other words, they corked the market. We will ask the arbitrator ... (to) make sure that it will never happen again." Fehr said he expected to meet with Roberts soon to try to work out solutions; Roberts will also hear the damage portion of the proceeding. "I don't think it's real clear what it all means," Gibson said. "What the consequences of (yesterday's) decision will be is what I'll be interested in." Roberts noted that Kansas City looked at Gibson but "the interest of the Royals in Gibson suddenly cooled... concurrently with a meeting of the owners at St. Louis, Mo., in October of 1985 and a gathering of the general managers in Tarpon Springs, Fla., during November of 1985." Only two free agents, utilitymen Juan Beniquez and Dane Iorg, moved to different teams between the 1985 and 1986 seasons. A similar grievance involving 1986 free agents including Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Jack Morris and Lance Parrish is currently being heard by arbitrator George Nicolau. Clark, Murphy and Ripken will be free agents at the end of this season. The list also includes Jesse Barfield, Dave Righetti, Lou Whitaker, Mike Witt and Bruce Hurst.
