1968 - Year of the Tiger It doesn't matter if you side with the players or the owners in the current baseball strike, there is one thing that everyone agrees on-it is an unfortunate situation. So in order to partially relieve the misery of any baseball junkies going through withdrawal, throughout the duration of the strike the Daily is providing a look back to a more pleasant time-1968. There was no free agent compensation, no NLRB, no court injunctions-and no strike. And for those of you who don't remember, in 1968 the Tigers were winners, World Series winners, in fact. Each day the Daily relates the results of the previous evening's Tiger game-minus 13 years. July 24 - Senators 6, Tigers 3 The Michigan Daily-Sataurday, July 25, 1981-Page 11 SPORTS OF THE DAILY Levi leads tournament WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) - Wayne Levi overcame continuing put- ting problems with a 4-under-par 67 and took a one-stroke lead yesterday in the second round of the $300,000 Anheuser- Busch Golf Classic. Bob Murphy, Howard Twitty and Jim Booros, are tied at 138, one shot behind Levi's total of 137. Twitty matched Levi's no-bogey, 4-under-par 67, while Murphy and Booros each recorded a second consecutive 69. WASHINGTON (AP) - Manager Mayo Smith admits that Detroit is in a rut, but he doesn't think it's deep enough for the grave-diggers to begin filling it on top of his Tigers yet. The last-place Washington Senators smote the Tigers 6-3 last night, giving Detroit four losses in their last five games. The setback sliced their first-place margin over Baltimore to five games, just a shade over what it was at the All- Star break two weeks earlier. SMITH SAID, "We're in one of those ruts we have to battle out of, both in hitting and pitching. "Everybody expects you to win, win, win. You just don't do that. There isn't a club in baseball that hasn't had this kind of rut happen to them this year" The Tigers dronned three atraight the ninth. Hannan allowed only seven hits and three walks while striking out three in the eight innings he worked as he picked up his fourth win in six decisions. A walk to Dick McAuliffe started the Tigers off. Mickey Stanley followed with a double and Jim Nor- thrup singled in a run on an infield out. A single by Al Kaline drove in Stanley. DETROIT'S OTHER run came in the ninth inning when pinch-hitter Gates Brown slammed a single off reliever Dick Bosman to send Kaline home with the Tigers' third and final run. Brown has been superb in pincha hitting duties this year, as he is 11 for 18 under such circumstances. Detroit starter Mickey Lolich lasted less than four innings in picking up the loss. Lolich gave up seven hits, five runs and two walks. He struck out four Washington bat- ters. The loss dropped Detroit to 60-37 on the season.

But Smith refused to put an unnecessary emphasis on the up- coming Baltimore series. "YOU CAN'T CALL it critical," he said. "We've got too much left to play." At the same time, he conceded the Tigers' schedule matches them against the other top three conten- ders in the American League for only six games in the last six weeks of the season. Smith said Detroit plays the In- dians seven more games and Baltimore nine. He said, "If we can split those 16 games, we're in good shape," KEN MCMULLEN batted in four runs for Washington on a single and a homer, and Hank Allen collected four hits as the Senators bounced back from Tuesday night's 6-4 loss to the Tigers.

Owner proposal outlined NEW YORK (AP) - Here are the details of the latest offer by major league club owners to settle the players' strike, as summarized yester- day by Raymond Grebey, director of the Player Relations Committee: 1-Ranking free agents in the upper 20 percent of performance criteria on a two-year average to require professional player compensation in addition to the amateur draft choice which has been in effect. 2-RANKING free agents in the 20 per- cent to 30 or 35 percent performance range to require two amateur draft choices, one from the signing club and one from a special draft round charged to no specific club. 3-No added player compensation for ranking free agents in the re-entry draft for the second time or with 13 years of major league service. 4-A maximum of ranking free agen- ts requiring added player compen- sation of eight in 1981 and 10 in each of the following years, with no carryover for unused selections. 5-TWO AMATEUR draft choices for ranking players above the specified maximums of 8-10-10. 6-Two alternatives for selection of ranking free agents. One, which is a variation of the mediator's concept, calls for added direct professional player compensation, the amount depending on the standings of the two clubs involved, with protection lists ranging from 23 to 27 players and in some instances requiring only an amateur draft choice. The other alter- native is a selection pool arrangement in which all clubs would participate, with signing clubs permitted to protect 24 players and non-signing clubs 28. 7-Up to five clubs to be permitted to exclude themselves from the pool by declaring non-participation in the signing of ranking free agents for three years. 'Hollywood' debuts MIAMI (AP)-Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson drew rave reviews - in- cluding from himself, of course - for his Miami Dolphins debut. "You had to be impressed with No. 56 on defense," Coach Don Shula said of Henderson's performance Thursday in a "rookie" scrimmage with the New Orleans Saints. "HE WORKED 12 plays defensively and made two or three good plays. If he straightens himself out and stays on the right path, he's going to be a heck of a football player," Shula added. The 28-year-old linebacker is trying to salvage his National Football League career in his Dolphins tryout. A publicity-seeking star for the Dallas Cowboys three years ago, Henderson eventually wore out Coach Tom Lan- dry's patience with his sideline antics and was cut. He then flunked trials with two other NFL teams. Last year he admitted a drug abuse problem and enrolled in a drug rehabilitation program. "I SHOWED intestinal fortitude today," Henderson decided. "I broke up that screen pass that came my way. I'm getting my old self back. I'm still playing with a smile on my face." Saints Coach Bum Phillips said Hen- derson forced him to give some guidan- ce to the three quarterbacks he used in the scrimmage. "After the first couple of times, I told them that I didn't care what they called, just as long as they didn't call it to that side," Phillips said. "I feel like I have my killer instinct back," said Henderson. "I was hustling today. The key to my success is I have to be consistent. Rinaldi turns pro HASBROUK HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) - Fourteen-year-old Kathy Rinaldi, the youngest player ever to win a match at Wimbledon, said yesterday she will make her professional debut at next month's U.S. CLay Court Champion- ships in Indianapolis, Ind. -Rinaldi, who passed up $12,938 in ear- nings as an amateur, becomes the youngest pro tennis player in history, eclipsing the mark set by Andrea Jaeger, now 16, by four months. "My family and I have been thinking about this for a couple of months," said Rinaldi, who enters the ninth grade at Florida's Martin County High School in September. "I'm sure there will be people who disagree with this decision. But I wan- ted to play in the pros on a regular basis," said the shy, blonde teenager.
