Laskey struck out six and
walked two, but lost his bid for a
shutout in the fifth when Rick
Monday tripled and scored on a
sacrifice fly by Steve Garvey.
This is Hal McRae’s final year
on his contract with the Kansas
City Royals and the 36-year-old
designated hitter is having the
kind of season that should make
him a millionaire in the free-
agent market if he elects to try it
next November.
If the season ended today,
McRae would certainly be a
leading candidate for the AL’s
Most Valuable Player Award.
He collected four hits, including
his 17th homer, and drove in
three runs Monday night to
raise his major league-leading
RBI total to 88 and spark the
Royals to an 8-1 triumph over
the Cleveland Indians.
“I just hope to be consistent
(in getting RBI) and I don’t have
any goals,” sad McRae. “I just
hope I don’t hit a dry spell. This
is the best I’ve felt in a while. I’ve
been struggling for a month.”
McRae singled home Jamie
Quirk to highlight a three-run
third inning against Cleveland
starter and loser Tom Brennan
and smacked his homer over the
left-field fence following a single
by George Brett to finish the
Royals’ scoring in the seventh.
Willie Wilson added a pair of
triples to the Royals’ attack to
help Vida Blhe to his eighth vic
tory against seven losses.

— At Boston, Dwight Evans led
off the bottom of the eighth in-
Dan Driessen
ning with a single and scored on
Carl Yastrzemski’s double play
grounder, enabling the Red Sox
to regain first place in the AL
East.
TIGERS 5, YANKEES 3 —
At New York, Lance Parrish
drove in three runs with his 17th
homer, a single and a triple and
Tom Brookens hit a two-run
double in helping the Tigers to
victory.
ORIOLES 6, WHITE SOX 2
— At Baltimore, Gary Roenicke
slammed his 16th home run of
the year and knocked in four
runs to pace the Orioles to their
fifth straight victory.
TWINS 10, MARINERS 4 —
At Seattle, Gary Gaetti belted a
first-inning grand slam to spark
the Twins to victory.
A’s 11, ANGELS 8 — At
Anaheim, Calif., Rickey Hen
derson paced a four-run eighth
inning rally with an RBI double
and a steal of home to lead the
A’s to victory.
over seats
United Press International
MINNEAPOLIS — Brad
Sterling is hoping about 100 sea
son ticket-holders are as upset as
he is about where they will sit at
the Minnesota Vikings’ football
games this season.
Sterling, of Burnsville, is
looking for some of them to file
a class-action suit against the
Vikings, charging the club with
unfair seat assignments.
The Vikings are moving to
the new $55 million Hubert
Humphrey Metrodome this sea
son, from the 21-year-old Met
ropolitan Stadium in suburban
Bloomington which is destined
for demolition. The domed sta
dium holds 62,220, compared to
48,446 in the old facility.
A season ticket-holder since
1976, Sterling put an advertise
ment in local newspapers, seek
ing people to help finance the
suit.
“The fact is, we’re not any
closer to the 50-yard line than
we were in the old stadium,”
Sterling said. “With the influx of
more seats, all the people who
held seats in the old stadium
should be closer. I’ve talked to
some people who have actually
lost yardage.”
However, Viking ticket mana
ger Harry Randolph said he’s in
a “no win” situation.
“We lost 4,314 seats between
the goal lines in the dome versus
the old stadium,” Randolph said
Monday. “We assign 60,000
seats and we obviously can’t
make everybody happy. We’re
also dealing with a lot of people
we’ll never make happy.”
The Vikings have 19,800 tick
ets assigned to people with a
1960 priority, the year before
the club officially began. There
are only 19,144 seats between
the goal lines in the Metrodome.
“When it came to assigning
seats,” Randolph said, “it was ex
citing. We found a guy with sea
son tickets since 1960, sitting
dead behind the goal posts.
Here’s one of the silent majority
who never complains. So we
thought we’d give him a break
and put him closer to the 50-
yard line.”
Festival’s ice events
feature close battles
United Press International
INDIANAPOLIS — Vikki
de Vries, ranked second na
tionally and seventh in the
world in ladies’ figure skating,
looks positively at her chances
in the National Sports Festival
singles competition, despite a
fall in the short program.
In the ladies’ singles event
Monday at Market Square
Arena, she fell midway
through her 2-minute prog
ram. Still, de Vries, who
turned 18 Sunday, planned to
overtake leader Kelly Webster
in the long program skating
tonight, which counts 50 per
cent of the overall total.
“I think I can bounce
back,” she said. “I feel a lot
more confident about my long
program. I’m going to shine.”
Webster took the lead from
de Vries Monday with a good
short program performance.
The 15-year-old, who trains at
Colorado Springs along with
de Vries, said she also felt best
about her long program
routine.
“I feel more confident ab
out the long program,” Webs
ter said, “because there are
specific elements required in
the short program and in the
long program you can do any
thing you want.”
De Vries was tied for
second with Melissa Thomas,
Massapequa, N.Y., who had
the best score of the short
program competition.
The pairs competition en
ded with Lea Ann Miller and
William Fauver taking the
gold.
There was action on the ice
at Carmel Ice Skadium also,
where the ice hockey action
started. In the first game,
Mike Krensing and Gregg
Moore scored two goals each
to lead North to a 6-5 win over
the East, and Rich Costello
scored with nine seconds left
to give the South a 4-4 tie with
the West.
Swimmer Michele Richard
son, competing for the East
team, won the women’s 800-
meter freestyle in 8 minutes,
40.24 seconds and took the
bronze in the 200-free in
2:05.05 Monday at the In
diana University Natatorium.
Other swimming winners
included Matt Cetlinski of
Lake Worth, Fla., in the men’s
800 free; Jacqueline Komenij
of Rohnert Park, Calif., in the
women’s 100-breaststroke in a
Festival-record 1:12.99; and
Robert Lager of Mission
Viejo, Calif., in the men’s
lOObreaststroke in 1:04.21,
also a meet record.
