Astros win.
Rangers lose
United Press International
NEW YORK — Bob Watson
drove in three runs with a two-run
single and a home run Wednesday
night, leading the Houston Astros to
an 8-3 victory over the New York
Mets in the first game of a double-
header.
Watson lined a single to left to
drive in two runs in the first inning
and help Tom Dixon to his fifth
victory in 11 decisions. Watson fol
lowed a sacrifice fly by Jose Cruz in
the third inning with his 10th homer
of the year, giving the Astros a 4-0
lead against Pat Zachry, 10-6, and
sending the Mets to their sixth loss
in seven games.
The Mets scored once in the bot
tom of the third when Len Randle
singled, moved up on a single and a
sacrifice and scored on a sacrifice fly
by Elliott Maddox.
Houston upped the score to 61 in
the sixth on a sacrifice fly by Luis
Pujols and an RBI single by Rafael
Landestoy. The Mets closed within
6-3 and knocked out Dixon in the
sixth on a sacrifice fly by Willie
Montanez and a run-scoring single
by Randle. But Joe Sambito re
lieved and got the last out of the in
ning.
Art Howe singled in one run in
the seventh and Pujols drove in
another with a fielder’s choice to
make it 8-3 and help Sambito record
his seventh save.
Meanwhile, Frank White
knocked in three runs with a double
and triple in Kansas City to help the
Kansas City Royals win their fifth
straight game with an 11-4 rout of
the Texas Rangers.
White ripped a two-run double
and Clint Hurdle added a two-run
triple during a seven run third in
ning to hand Ferguson Jenkins his
fifth loss against nine wins. It also
ended Jenkins’ personal three-game
winning streak against the Royals
dating back to 1976.
Fred Patek stroked three singles
and also scored three runs and Hur
dle also collected three hits as the
Royals bombarded Jenkins and re
liever Jim Umbarger with 14 hits.
Rookie Rich Gale limited Texas to
seven hits in improving his record to
11-3. The Rangers scored their only
runs on a three-run homer by
Bobby Bonds, his 15th of the sea
son, in the fourth and a solo shot by
Kurt Bevacqua leading off the
seventh.

=flNEW YORK — Reggie Jackson
■IPamk at one end of the rope Bill\
M.:tin at the other. Back-to-back,
■th fierce determination, the}
Mad in opposite directions, tugging
Pf/■itli a ferocit} that defies common
■pc.The rope is fraying down to its
V^Hialstrands, and when it gives-’
^ M R' ves, one or both will be
ione. \nd the rope will give, bc-
lUSf Martin and Jackson will never
Mou^heir differences. Both are
larvelous at what they do, but
either !s prone to compromise.
So when Jackson decided to bunt
against Martin’s orders in New
York’s 9-7 loss to Kansas City
Monday night, the fiery Yankee
manager locked himself in his office
after the game with General Man
ager Cedric Tallis and principal
owner George Steinbrenner. The
resulting "indefinite suspension’
levied against Jackson became a
five-day banishment Tuesday.
We just thought it over,’ said a
Yankee spokesman, "and we
thought it best to quiet things
down. ’
Nicklaus in Philadelphia
[Med Press International
^PHILADELPHIA — Will Jack
ildaus continue to ride the crest
jhe unbeatable tee-to-green play
won him the British Open to
iryin the $250,(XX) Philadelphia
ilfClassic beginning today?
Or will the incomparable Golden
suffer a letdown from his emo-
triumph at St. Andrews and
;le in the muggy midsummer
over the short but extremely
[icky 6,687-yard, par-71 White-
marsh Valley Country Club course?
The only sure thing about this
weekend’s designated PGA tourna
ment is that Nicklaus certainly is the
gallery favorite among the 156 gol
fers entered. He probably is the
man to beat but whether he has
come down from last week’s two-
stroke victory remains to be seen.
“Obviously I like this golf course
— I ve won here twice before,
Nicklaus said.
The decision to bring Jackson
back on Sunday isn’t likely to "quiet
things down.’ Reggie’s defiant bunt
was expensive — at least $12,500
worth — and Jackson and Martin
have a mutual dislike for each other.
"This was an absolute disregard of
the manager’s authority, said Tallis
in a prepared statement. "In addi
tion to Jackson having been given
the sign to swing away, Coach Dick
Howser personally told him, Billy
wants you to swing away. "
Since Jackson’s arrival in New
York, he has experienced the high
est of highs and the lowest of lows.
Three home runs in the final game
of the 1977 World Series made him
a household name and earned him a
candy bar named after him, but two
brushes with the law and continual
confrontations with Martin have
proved his inability to cope.
When Jackson was appraised of
the five-day suspension, he replied,
“Okay, and took off for his home in
Oakland, Calif. Besieged by re
porters and photographers upon
landing at 5 p. m. EDT, Jackson was
evasive, but a UPI lensman man
aged to get a picture of him. Jackson
unleashed a stream of obscenities
before finally departing.
Since Steinbrenner s "sugges
tion last week that Jackson be made
a designated hitter, to be replaced
by catcher Thurman Munson in
right field, the tension on the Yan
kee team has been building.
"All of a sudden I’m trying to
create commotion, said a sarcastic
Jackson after learning of the suspen
sion. "How can they say I’m a threat
swinging the bat? I’m not even an
everyday player anymore. I’m just a
part-time player.
And one more strand on that very,
tenuous rope has been severed.
