Phillies take Game 1 in Series
United Press International
PHILADELPHIA — Kansas City
Royals’ first baseman Willie Mays
Aikens probably has never had a
more memorable birthday than his
26th, but he certainly has had hap
pier ones.
A 7-6 loss to the Philadelphia Phil
lies in Game 1 of the World Series
Tuesday night ruined both Aikens’
birthday and the thrill of hitting two
two-run homers in his first Series
appearance.
“I don’t really feel too happy now
because we re down one game to no
thing,” Aikens said. “On this club we
don’t think much about personal
stats. I’d be happy to go 0-for-4
tomorrow as long as we can win. ”
The loss did not shake the Royals’
confidence, even though it came
with their ace righthander, Dennis
Leonard, facing the Phillies’ often-
wild rookie Bob Walk. They fully ex
pect to come out with a victory in
Game 2 tonight, even though they
face the Phillies’ left-handed, 24-
game winner, Steve Carlton.
“We’re not concerned; we’ll just
go out and play our game,” said cen
ter-fielder Amos Otis, who also had a
two-run homer in the Royals’ first-
game loss. “We’ve come too far this
year to throw in the towel now.”
Leonard’s inability to hold a 4-0
lead — it evaporated in a five-run
third — was a key to the Royals loss.
The big blow for Philadelphia in
the third was a three-run homer by
Bake McBride after Leonard hit Pete
Rose in the leg with a pitch.
“It was a fastball that I just got too
much inside,” Leonard explained.
“Usually my ball runs away from a
left-handed hitter.”

a surprise move
United Press International
HOUSTON — The Houston Oil
ers Tuesday stunned professional
ootball by announcing they had
ed for premier tight end Dave
per of the Oakland Raiders for
ndisclosed draft choices.
b-Casper has been named to the
FL Pro Bowl the past four seasons
at the time of the trade was lead
ing the Raiders in receptions with 22
for 270 yards and one touchdown.
He also is a former teammate of Oiler
quarterback Kenny Stabler.
“We are thrilled to be able to get a
player of Dave’s ability, ” Oiler coach
Bum Phillips said. “We have been
laying a lot of two tight end offense
the last two years with Mike (Barber)
id Rich (Caster) and by getting
Dave we now have a guy that we can
substitute with and also will be able
to keep that phase in our offense
should one of the guys get hurt.
“Like any other position on the
field, we will play the two best guys,
but our plans call for us to keep three
tight ends on the roster. Casper is a
quality, clutch receiver that should
tin with what we want to do here.”
^Casper was second among AFC
tight ends in 1979 with 57 receptions
and has had at least 48 catches in
each of the past four seasons that he
has been a starter. His best year
came in 1978 when he grabbed 62
passes for 852 yards, which is the
Raider high since 1964. He also has
amassed more than 100 yards receiv
ing in six games in his career. In the
1977 playoffs, he caught nine passes
for 141 yards and five touchdowns.
“I’m really not sure what to say
right now, other than it puts me a
little bit closer to Willie Nelson,”
Casper said. “I really enjoy some of
those entertainers that live in that
part of the country. It also seems that
they have some guy down there play
ing quarterback that I’ve heard of
before (Stabler).”
Casper went to school at Notre
Dame, where he was named All-
American in 1973.
Oakland owner Al Davis praised
Casper, but said his departure would
provide a new challenge for the
athlete.
“There is no question Dave Cas
per made an outstanding contribu
tion to our football team,” Davis
said. “We hope the trade opens new
avenues and challenges for him.”
