NEW YORK - The Detroit Tigers
saw their four game winning streak
broken last night ad they fell to the
Yankees 6-5in New York.
Rudy May earned the win and Rich
Gossage the save in a game in which.
the Tigers were unable to control their
tempers or the Yankee bats. The save
was Gossage's 18th of the year.
JACK MORRIS took the loss for the
Tigers, as he was victimized by the long
ball off the Yankee bats.
Oscar Gamble provided an early
start for' the Yankees when he hit his
17th home run of the seasons scoring
Jerry Mumphrey in the bottom of the
first inning.
New York threatened again in the
third, after a Dave Winfield walk and
Graig Nettles singled. But with two
outs already posted, Morris was able to
salvage the inning'as Rick Cerone hit
into a fielder's choice to end the stanza.
WITH TWO outs in the fourth the
Yankees managed to add to their lead.
Willie Randolph and Ken Griffey
reached base on two consecutive
singles. Mumphrey then hita home run
into the right-field seats, his fourth of
the year to bring the score to 5-0.
Detroit attempted to play catch up in
the top of the fifth when Glenn Wilson,
Alan Trammell and Lou Whitsker, all
safely singled. Roger Erickson gave up
a walk to Tom Brookens to score
Detroit's first run. Larry Herndon then
got a base hit.scoring Trammell and
Whitaker.
May then took the mound for the
Yankees. After striking out Parrish
'he gave up a single to Mike Ivie
which scored Brookens to bring the
score to 5-4. Enos Cabell, who had
replaced Rick Leach at first base, then
flied out to right and Lynn Jones hit into
a fielder's choice to retire the side.
IN THE bottom of the seventh with
the bases loaded and one out, Cerone
came to bat. After one strike, Morris
threw what appeared to be another
strike. Yet, home plate umpire Mark
Johnson called it a ball. An argument
erupted between Parrish, Morris and
Johnson which eventually caused the
ejection of the pitcher, the catcher and
Tiger manager Sparky Anderson who
had entered the disagreement. After
order was restored to the game, Dave
Tobik replaced Morris and Bill Fahey
took over behind the plate. Cerone then
hit a sacrifice fly to right scoring Mum-
phrey. Dave Collins struck out to end
the inning.
Trammell doubled in the eighth and
scored on a Whitaker single to bring the
Tigers to within one run of the Yankees
entering the final frame. But the Tigers
were unable to capitalize in the ninth,
as the final score remained 6-5.

Michigan's Turner eyes Olympics
l
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)- The National Sports Festival
gives competing players a good idea of where they stand in
comparison to other performers, say basketball players who
are competing in the festival.
"It's the best young talent from around the country," MSU
guard Sam Vincent said. "It lets you know where you stand,
how good you really are."
VINCENT'S North teammate, 6-4 Eric Turner of Michigan,
looks even farther into the future, saying: "It's a chance to
prepare myself and get exposure for the '84 Olympics." Tur-
ner scored 15 points last night, but his North team was beaten
by the East squad, 116-109.
Johnny Dawkins, a second-year Festival basketball per-
former from Washington, D.C., says this tournament sure
beats his playground pickup games.
"The Festival was a tremendous help for me last year in
high school," said the 6-foot-2 Duke recruit and an East
squad member.
Stuart Gray, UCLA's 7-foot sophomore and the 1981
Festival's Most Valuable Player, agrees with Dawkins.
"I wanted to come back. Nowhere else can you get this kind
of competition," said Gray.
Hearing on 'Careman 'postponed
DETROIT (AP)- A hearing into allegations of possible
drug use by Detroit boxer William "Caveman" Lee was
postponed until Aug. 24, New Jersey boxing officials said.
The hearing was to be held yesterday; but Robert Lee,
deputy commissioner of the New Jersey State Athletic Com-
mission, said Monday that the hearing was delayed because
of a request by the boxer's attorney, Mark Papazian.
Traces of morphine and quinine were found ina urine sam-
ple from Lee following his 67-second loss to middleweight
champion Marvin Hagler in a March 7 bout in Atlantic City,
N.J., New Jersey boxing officials said.

day.
Gilbert was the 1911 Big Ten cham-
pion in both the triple jump and the 55-
meter hurdles.
He doubled as a flanker on the foot-
ball team, catching 10 passes for 200
yards and two touchdowns while ap-
pearing in all 11 of the Spartans' games
in 1980, his only season on the squad.
"He was just a great competitor and
a great kid," said MSU Coach Muddy
Waters. "One of the girls was inter-
viewing him for a story last spring and
he told them 'Don't do it now. Wait till
I'm back on the team.' He never gave
up ... he was so optimistic."
Gilbert transferred to MSU from San-
ta Barbara Community College in
January 1980.

stated that Ed Muransky lasted in this
year's draft longer than Kurt Becker. It
should have read that Muransky lasted
longer than expected. Muransky was
selccted in the fourth round, while
Becker was tsken in the sixth round.
