Martin not impressed
Jackson suspended
United Press International
NEW YORK — The two most bit
ter antagonists in the New York
Yankees’ continuing soap opera
clashed openly again Monday night,
and it resulted in Reggie Jackson
being suspended indefinitely with
out pay by Manager Billy Martin.
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.

was quoted Tuesday as saying
ad considered abandoning
batlHall to go to college and play
an(j all rather than play AAA ball at
nond, where he spent most of
inor league career,
n in good shape and I’m only
vd I’ve thought maybe I 11 go to
and play football, Rockett
was quoted as saying. “So far, we’ve
just mentioned it, though.
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.

uge Zenon Andrusyshyn added a
third of 25 yards early in the fourth
quarter to give the Kansas City
Chiefs a 9-0 rookie exhibition game
victory Tuesday night over the
Houston Oilers.
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.”
