Yankees fire another one
United Press International

« New York Yankees were right:

couldn’t fire his manager on na

So he waited 17 hours.
After the Yankees had whipped
the Royals 2-1 Saturday on nation
al television — their second na
tionally televised triumph over
Kansas City in two days —
Michael was greeted with howls of
“Can’t fire a guy on national televi
sion,” and “One more day,” from
his players when he entered the
clubhouse.
It was frolic time for “Stick”
Michael, who admitted after Fri
day night’s 4-0 nationally televised
victory over the Royals that a loss
that night would probably have
cost him his job.
But Michael’s frolic became
Steinbrenner’s folly Sunday when
he abruptly dismissed his mana
ger at 9 a.m. and brought Bob
Lemon back to handle the Yank
ees after a two-year exile in the
New York scouting department.
Lemon went on to direct the
Yankees to a 6-1 victory over the
Royals that afternoon.
“Stick’s in the fraternity now,”
said Lemon, who himself was fired
as manager of the Yankees midway
through the 1979 season. “He’s
joined it. We’re all in it. I told
Stick I’d keep it (managerial seat)
warm for him.”
Michael became the seventh

manager relieved of his commis
sion by Steinbrenner in the nine
years since he purchased the club.
Michael had guided the Yankees
to a 48-34 record in the first year of
his three-year contract before
being dismissed.
Michael knocked heads with
the Yankee owner Aug. 28 in Chi
cago.
“It’s not fair that he criticizes
me and threatens to fire me all the
time,” said Michael at the time.
“I’d rather he do it than talk about
it. I told him exactly that today.
Don’t wait.”
Steinbrenner stopped all com
munication with Michael at that
point and ordered two of his chief
executives, vice presidents Cedric
Tallis and Bill Bergesch, to join
him in that silence. The Yankees
went on to win five games in a row
and seven of nine but even a two-
game winning streak over the de
fending American League cham
pion Royals could not save
Michael.
“I very much regret that Gene
and I have not been able to resolve
certain differences and therefore
Bob Lemon will assume the duties
as manager of the Yankees,” said
Steinbrenner Sunday in a pre
pared statement.

Women s tennis team to rely

By RICK STOLLE

Hoping to improve upon its
1980-81 record of 15-12, the Texas
A&M University women’s tennis
team has begun practice and is re
lying on new height to help bring
about a successful year.
“We don’t have anybody under
5-foot-6-inches,” coach Jan Can
non said. “We’re looking forward
to using our height to our advan
tage, especially in doubles.”
Cannon said the women came
back to school with a great attitude
and the team will be much stron
ger than last year. Most of the
team returns for another year on
the courts.
Liliana Fernandez, Pam Hill,
Amy Closs, Maylyn Hooton, Son-
ja Hutcherson and Laura Hanna
will be back, along with a good
complement of transfer students
and freshmen to challenge for the
top six spots on the team.
Transfers Rebecca Rasor, from
Tyler Junior College; Teresa
Landry, from Midland Junior Col
lege; and Barbara Atwater, from
Flagler College in San Augustine,
are expected to give the returning
players stiff competition for the six

Stanford was voted the outstand

“She is not only a top tennis

of the best volleyball players at the
school.”
Cannon said she is looking for
