■L.A. fails to capitalize
Baker takes time to cool
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — By now.
Dusty Baker has cooled off.
Being back home always helps. It
takes some of the bite out of defeat
and some of the pain out of the
wounds although it doesn’t alter the
fact the Dodgers are only one game
away from extinction in the World
Series.
After Bill Russell bounced back to
Jim Beattie for the final out in Sun
day’s 12-2 indignity at Yankee
Stadium, putting the Yanks ahead
three games to two, all the other
Dodger players immediately
headed for the clubhouse except
Baker.
He sat in the dugout alone, his
lips pressed tightly together, staring
out at the field in a tableau reminis
cent of little Freddie Patek a year
ago. You remember how Patek
bowed his head and remained in the
Kansas City dugout by himself for
nearly 10 minutes after the Yankees
beat the Royals in the final Ameri
can League playoff game of 1977.
Dusty Baker was doing pretty
much the same thing Sunday.
Sitting there in stony silence, he
symbolized the sheer frustration of
all the Dodger players. They hadn’t
been merely beaten, they had been
ground- up into little pieces.
Eventually, Baker got up and
walked into the clubhouse. The
door closed behind him and re
mained shut for five minutes to keep
everyone else out.
Baker walked over toward his
locker and then gave vent to his feel
ings. He raised his voice in an angry
tirade that wasn’t directed at any
body in the room in particular but
everybody there in general.
When the door of the clubhouse
door finally was opened. Baker was
in another part of the room shaving.
Most of his anger had subsided.
“What upset me was the way we
got beat,” he said, toweling his face.
“It was mental as much as anything
else and when it’s mental, that con
trols your physical actions. I’m al
ways angry when we lose. I don t
like to lose in nothing. I was just
mad. When I’m mad, I gotta blow
off. I’m cool now.”
Dusty Baker’s reaction to the way
the World Series has been going is
understandable in light of the fact
the Dodgers have not taken full ad
vantage of any number of oppor
tunities they’ve had in the five Se
ries’ games played so far.
The Yankees may go on to win
their second straight world cham
pionship but they are far from an
invincible ballclub.
To begin with, they are vulnera
ble to left-handed pitching.
Moreover, it is fairly common
knowledge Thurman Munson has
trouble throwing, but the Dodgers
have stolen only four bases thus far.
Finally, none of the Yankee outfield
ers have especially strong arms,
and the Dodgers haven’t exploited
that aspect, either.
Much of the Dodgers’ present
plight is due to their own defense,
which has been pitiful on occasion,
especially in the infield. Bill Russell
has committed three of the club’s six
errors and Davey Lopes and Steve
Garvey one apiece.
Lopes, who had two of the Dod
gers’ nine hits in Sunday’s contest,
bristled when someone asked him
whether he thought it was the club’s
worst performance of the year.
“Why do you people go after
negative points? he wanted to
know. “Why not give them credit
for getting hits? They hit the ball
pretty damn good. You ask me what
do I think can turn it around for us?
Nothing can turn it around except
good baseball. We’re not getting
good pitching. We’re not playing
defense. If we don’t turn that
around, we’ll be losers ate
that simple.”
In tonight's sixth ga me 4
gers will have the benefit 0 f
in their own friendly m
where they overpowered tli f
kees in the first gameofthei
and beat them in Game No
Ron Gey’s three-run homeraJ
clutch relief pitching of rooU
Welch. ™
Don Sutton, beaten in |
game, goes against Catfish
whom the Dodgers defeated]
second game, tonight. Th e D,
feel good about that bull
means are they overconfiffl
“He (Hunter) is going to
some pitches you can hit ]
Lopes. But we're goingtoh
go out and do the job. Some
ers beat themselves. Not
Hunter, though.”
What it comes downtoisti
only help the Dodgers can ej
from themselves, and if th«
themselves as they ccrtainlvj
those last two games in Ne*|
they’ll have nobody really|
but themselves.
Maybe that’s what made]
Baker react the way he did S
evening.
Horns to start McEachern
United Press International
AUSTIN — Senior Randy
McEachern’s consistent play and
two touchdown passes against North
Texas State has at least temporarily
stalled efforts by freshman Donnie
Little to unseat McEachern as the
starting quarterback for the Texas
Longhorns.
Coach Fred Akers, who started
Little against the Eagles then in
serted McEachern after Little had
fumbled three times, said he will
continue to evaluate both quarter
backs during the week, but said
McEachern’s performance had
earned him the starting role in
Saturday’s Southwest Conference
showdown with league co-leader
Arkansas.
“He’ll start off there for sure. Like
I said before, he’s pretty tough to
move out of there,” Akers said of
McEachern, whom he picked as the
Horns’ offensive player of the game
in the victory over North Texas.
“Randy completed five of seven
passes for two touchdowns and en
gineered all our scoring drives,
Akers said. “He provided the charge
that was necessary to win the ball
game for us.”
Akers also praised the ball carry
ing of freshman running backs Brad
Beck and A. J. Jones, who both drew
their first starting assignments
against the Eagles. He said Johnny
“Ham” Jones, Texas’ leading ball
carrier for the season, will be ready
to play against Arkansas, but said
fullback LeRoy King still is doubtful
because of a torn shoulder muscle.
Johnny “Lam” Jones, the Long
horns’ speedy wide receiver who
sparked the win over North Texas
with a 41-yard touchdown run
shortly before halftime.
“That run he had just shot elec
tricity into our football team,” Akers
said. “Lam” Jones bruised a shoul
der in the North Texas game and
will miss practice the first part of the
Behin

week, but Akers said he will be
ready to play against the Razor-
backs.
The Longhorn coach expressed
concern about the number of penal
ties assessed against his team, a
problem that has plagued Texas
most of the season.
“That’s got to go,” Akers said,
shaking his head. “We’ve got to be
leading the world (in penalties).’’
Akers, an Arkansas graduate, had
a terse analysis of this year’s Razor-
back team. "Arkansas is I

"They have been awfullyd
