In the 10th inning of a game with the Kansas City Royals, with Thur man Munson on base with a leadoff single in the 10th, Jackson was asked to bunt on the first pitch but fouled it off. Martin then removed the bunt sign only to watch Jackson foul off two more bunt attempts, the last of which catcher Darrell Porter caught for an out.

Charles Rockett, tbe player s father, said Rockett had been living at home since the All-Star break but had not discussed his future plans to a great extent. Atlanta General Manager Bill Lucas, however, discounted the possibility that Rockett would quit professional baseball and said he spoke to Rockett by telephone from Atlanta Monday. “He didn’t say he wouldn’t go,” Lucas said a week ago after Rockett was ordered to the minor league team. Lucas said he expected to discuss Rockett’s future with him further after Rockett, who was a starter both offensively and defensively in foot ball, conferred with his parents. Rockett was named all-state both at split end and as a defensive back in his senior season, the last San An tonian to make all-state both ways on the first team. He played in the state baseball tournament both his sophomore and senior seasons and was signed by local major league scout Al LaMac- chia.

The Kansas City defense inter cepted five passes, recorded four sacks and held Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell to 37 yards in 10 carries in his pro debut. Kansas City linebacker Mike Otto intercepted two Gifford Nielsen passes, returning the first 35 yards to the Houston 6 to set up the first field goal. After the Chiefs moved only 3 yards in 3 plays, Notre Dame free agent Reeve made it 3-0 from 25 yards out. Cornerback Gregg Anderson in tercepted a second Neilsen pass at the Kansas City goal line and re turned it 23 yards to start the second scoring drive. Tbe Chiefs moved 53 yards in 5 plays, also capitalizing on a 15-yard Houston personal foul penalty to set up Reeve's 41-yarder. Andrusyshyn’s field goal capped a 66-yard drive in 12 plays to put the game out of reach. The Yankees failed to score in the inning and when Jackson returned to the bench he was told by Coach Gene Michael he was through for the night. After Kansas City rallied for four runs in the 11th inning to win, 9-7, an angered Martin sum moned General Manager Qedric Tallis and talked to him for almost an hour. While reporters waited to talk to Martin, Jackson tried to defend his decision to bunt in the 10th. “I was trying to get him (Munson) over the best way I could,” said Jackson, who was signed by the Yankees to a $3 million five-year contract for his slugging ability and not his bunting prowess. "If I could move him into scoring position with Lou Piniella coming up behind me, I figure we have a good chance to win the ball game. What’s the dif ference? If you get it (the bunt) down, you’re a hero. If you don’t, you’re a bum. "I’m trying to move the guy over, does that make me a bad guy? I’m just a part-time player.” Jackson’s statement about being a part-time player was a sarcastic- swipe at Martin, who has been em ploying the slugging outfielder strictly as a designated hitter the last few games at the suggestion of owner George Steinbrenner. Jackson made no bones about not liking the DH assignment and Mar tin interpreted Jackson’s failure to follow orders as a way of getting back at the manager. “The bunt was on, on the first pitch — it was taken off via verbal instructions by the third base coach,” said Martin. “The manager’s orders were just disregarded. He bunted in direct defiance of a verbal order to hit. There’s not going to be anybody who defies the manager or management in anv way. “I’d just like to know how long I’m going to be suspended, so I can go home to California and relax,” said Jackson. “This guy’s (Martin) been doing this to me for a year and half now. No matter what I do I come away as the big, greedy moneymaker against a poor, little street-lighter.” mp 1% fji it CEl -H.
