Texas hurler Jenkins
four-hits Toronto. 6-1
'ALMOST BETTER THAN GRANDMA’S”

Exactly one year after being
arrested for possession of illegal
drugs, Texas Ranger hurler Fer
guson Jenkins finds himself con
cerned less with legal problems of
the past than with pitching prob
lems of the present.
The former Cy Young Award
winner stopped the Blue Jays on
four hits in Rangers’ 6-1 triumph
over Toronto Tuesday, on the
same date and in the same city that
his arrest occurred last year.
Jenkins, who was granted an
absolute discharge Dec. 18 by an
Ontario provincial court on
charges of possession of cocaine,
hashish and marijuana, said that
he still hears “the odd adverse
comment” from fans regarding the
incident.
“The way it was played up it was
like the French Connection, ” said
the 38-year-old native of
Chatham, Ontario. “They found
some articles in my suitcase and
played it up like I was a big
dealer.”
But Jenkins was more intent
upon discussing his annoyance ab
out being left out of the Rangers’
regular pitching rotation.

“This is only my second start all
month,” said the right-hander,
who notched his 264th career win
while raising his season mark to
5-6. “I’ve been the odd man out
since the second half of the season
started.
“They didn’t think I would be in
good condition after the layoff.
They don’t know we’ve got base
ball in Canada.
“When you’ve got yourself
geared to play, you’ve got to get
the opportunity,” Jenkins said.
“It’s important for me to get five or
six more starts. I’ve got to keep
pitching.
“Some guys don’t get a chance
to play but don’t say anything ab
out it, but f m not like that. I speak
up, even though that’s what got
me in the doghouse last time,”
Jenkins said in reference to his
past problems with Texas manager
Don Zimmer, while they were
both with the Boston Red Sox.
Jenkins, who struck out three
and walked one in registering his
first complete game of the season
and first victory since June 6, said
he was also “annoyed” over the
fact that Toronto starter Dave
Stieb hit two Texas batters.
“I was going to bury some
body,” Jenkins said. “But with a
1-0 lead, Zim (Manager Zimmer)
told me not to, (because) I might
wake somebody up. But I’ve got to
protect my players. That’s what
Leo Durocher always told me.
“I didn’t bury anybody this
time, but there’s always next time.
They just won that round.”
The game was interrupted for a
few minutes in the fourth inning
while stadium security officers
looked for the source of a glare that
was impeding Jenkins vision. It
turned out to be a child waving a
hot dog wrapper.
“The smart alerk was waving it in
my face like it was some kind of
joke,” Jenkins said. “They had
four or five people looking for it.
and they passed him by two or
three times. Later I asked the
security guy if he was related to *
Ray Charles.”
Jenkins received most of his •
offensive support in the sixth in- .
ning. The Rangers were already
ahead 2-0 when Buddy Bell hit a
one-out solo shot, his 10th homer ;
of the season. Later in the frame <
Leon Roberts lofted a sacrifice fly •
to left and Mario Mendoza fol- ;
lowed with a two-run double.
It was the fourth loss in a row for
the Blue Jays.
Cowboys gear up for
NFL Battle of Texas
United Press International
Plagued by a rash of injuries at
the running back position and fac
ing the uncertainty of contract dis
putes, the Dallas Cowboys were
pronounced Tuesday by coach
Tom Landry as being close to on
schedule for the 1981 season —
maybe.
“We were on schedule during
the last 30 minutes of the Pitt
sburgh game last week,” Landry
said. “But we haven’t had a consis
tent pattern yet. It’s important
than we reach that consistency.
“We re not like Philadelphia,
for instance. They have been con
sistent and they know what they
can do. We need to have that con
sistency against Houston this
week.
“It’s more important for us to
play good against Houston than it
is for us to win the game.
In addition to playing a decent
game, there are plenty of impor
tant decisions left for Landry and
his staff to make. Some of them
include:
—The secondary, where a large
shuffle was made last week against
Pittsburgh, including the starting
of rookie free agent Mike Downs
at safety.
“Mike could start on a good
NFL team,” said Landry. “He has
played outstanding in every
scrimmage. He has the speed to
cover people man-for-man and he
can hit. That’s about all you could
ask for.”
— Punting, which will again be
done this weekend by quarterback
Danny White. The last of the
rookie punters was cut this week
by Dallas.
“We might still pick someone
up,” said Landry. “We had three
punters in camp who had legs to
punt in the NFL. But none of
them had consistency.”
— Tight end. “It’s very, very
close (between veteran Billy Joe!
DuPree and Doug Cosbie) right
now,” the coach said.
— Hand signals from the sideN
lines, which have been an innova
tion in training camp. “We could
use it during the regular season,"
Landry said. “It’s been fairly sue/,
cessful getting us to the line of
scrimmage a few seconds earlieiv
Stealing signals is always possible,’
but you work pretty hard to do it. J'
Dallas will have only three heal
thy running hacks going into its
exhibition game with the Houston
Oilers (Tony Dorsett, Ron Springs-
and Robert Newhouse), but q£
more concern is the possibility of a
walkout by one or more players^*
Chief among the contract wor
ries is defensive tackle Randy
White, represented by Howard,
Slasher.
Club president and general
manager Tex Schramm said Tuesv
day the Cowboys would offef
White a contract that would make
him the highest paid lineman ifi
pro football.
However, Schramm said that;
Slasher was in Asia and would not
be back in the country until th$
first week in September.
“I think it is rather unusual fot(
an agent representing a football
player at this time of year to not be/
available,” said Schramm.
To reduce their roster to the ?
league minimum of 50 the Cow/}
boys released four rookies Tues»}
day and placed linebacker Bill
Roe, the team’s first-round draft
pick in 1980, on injured reserved
Those let go were free agents Ter-;.,
ry Elston (receiver) from Houston}
and Angelo King (linebacker) front*
South Carolina State. Also re\
leased were seventh-round drafC
pick Ken Miller (defensive back)}
from Eastern Michigan and 10th-
round choice Pat Graham (defen
sive lineman) from California.
