Errant pitch sends tempers flying
Royals survive brawl, topple Jays
United Press International
Was it bad blood or just a bad
pitch?
Whatever the reason, the re
sult was explosive — a bench
clearing brawl. After Toronto
reliever Jim Acker hit Hal
McRae in the helmet with a fast
ball, the Kansas City designated
hitter charged the mound and
players from both teams fol
lowed.
McRae, whose home run in
his previous at-bat in the sixth
inning was the knockout punch
in the Royals’ 6-2 victory Tues
day night, was still throwing ver
bal jabs in the visitors’ club
house.
‘It doesn’t matter whether it
was intentional or not. What
matters is what happened — I
got hit in the head and I had a
right to do it. I didn’t think ab
out it. I just reacted.”
Acker said the beaning wasn’t
intentional.
“When you’re three runs
down and still have three at-bats
to go you don’t put anyone on
intentionally,” he said. “It was
just a fastball that got away.”
Kansas City starter Bud
Black, 4-3, scattered seven hits
over 7 1-3 innings. Luis Leal,
who allowed McRae’s homer,
dropped to 6-2. Dan Quisenber-
ry worked the final 1 2-3 innings
to record his 22nd save.
Kansas City led 1-0 in the first
when U.L. Washington scored
from second base on shorstop
Alfredo Griffin’s error.
The Royals took a 3-2 lead in
the third when Washington
reached on an infield hit and
George
eventually scored
Brett’s groundout.
In the National League, it was
San Francisco 4, Chicago 3 in 10
innings; Pittsburgh and Los
Angeles split a doubleheader,
the Pirates won the opener 4-1
and the Dodgers the nightcap in
11 innings 3-2; Atlanta 11, New
York 7; St. Louis 4, San Diego 0
and Cincinnati 5, Montreal 2.
INDIANS 5, WHITE SOX 4
— At Cleveland, Andre Thorn
ton’s 12th home run of the sea
son snapped an eighth-inning
tie and Manny Trillo had three
RBI Tuesday night to back the
complete-game effort of Rick
Sutcliffe and lead the Indians to
victory.
YANKEES 4, TWINS 0 — At
New York, Shane Rawley tossed
a six-hitter and Dave Winfield
hit a two-run triple to spark New
York to their fifth straight win.
ANGELS 6, RED SOX I — At
Anaheim, Calif., Ken Forsch li
mited Boston to three hits and
Brian Downing and Fred Lynn
slammed homers, leading Cali
fornia.
ORIOLES 8, MARINERS 1
— At Seattle, Scott McGregor
tossed a complete-game four-
hitter and Cal Ripken drove in
three runs with a home run and
a double to lead Baltimore to
their ninth win in 10 games.
TIGERS 4, A’S 3 — At Oak
land, Calif., Glenn Wilson’s RBI
single and Enos Cabell’s sacrifice
fly keyed a two-run ninth inning
that rallied Detroit to their third
straight win.
Mahaffey stresses accuracy at Kingsmill
United Press International
John Mahaffey seems to play
his best golf on some of the
toughest courses, a good reason
why he’s one of the favorites in
the $350,000 PGA tournament
this week at Kingsmill Golf Club.
Mahaffey pushed his career
earnings over the $1 million
mark by winning at Kingsmill
two years ago. Last year, he sag
ged to a tie for 18th, eight shots
behind winner Calvin Peete.
Kingsmill, a Pete Dye design,
is 6,684 demanding yards that

a luxury housing development
and a multitude of bunkers,
trees, back yards and ponds,
with the James River bordering
on the last two holes. But Mahaf-
fey’s putter was the key weapon
in his victory.
“I don’t hit the ball a mile and
I don’t make a lot of birdies, so I
don’t play the wide-open
courses that well,” said Mahaf
fey. “I’ve usually putted well at
Kingsmill (25 putts in his final
round in 1981), although the
rain last year bothered me.
“I play better on courses
where distance isn’t so much a
factor and accuracy is a pre
mium. On courses like that,
there’s no advantage to being
long. I can hit it a lot longer than
I do, but I wouldn’t be able to
find half of them.”
Rain shortened the Kingsmill
tournament to 54 holes last year
when the second round had to
be played over two days. Mahaf
fey, who won in 1981 with an
8-under-par 276 total, had
problems after an opening-
round 68 last year and finished
71-72.
Americans returning from
last week’s British Open are
among the favorites at Kings
mill. Although British Open
winner Tom Watson is absent
this week, Ray Floyd, Peter
Jacobsen, Tom Kite, Bill Rogers,
Tom Weiskopf and Hal Sutton
are present.
Also among the favorites are
three Virginians playing close to
home. Curtis Strange, originally
from nearby Virginia Beach,
Va., owns a home along the

The Game — but the first scheduled basketball meetinE

turn into quite a rivalry. Or Rivalry, depending on how''upf
things get.
For Texans in need of a quick lesson in geography.

rabid sports fans. It also happens to be the location ofN.1

of.
You betcha. UTSA Sports Information Director Fred

schools involved, but for the city of San Antonio, also.
The Game — sorry, game — is scheduled for Hei
Arena, home of the San Antonio Spurs, and no less a

United Press International
WASHINGTON — The
elderly are more vulnerable to
summer heat than younger peo
ple because they perspire less
and are more likely to be on
medication that works against
the body’s natural ability to ad
just to heat, according to a gov
ernment report.
The U.S. Office of Consumer
Affairs says elderly people
should seek medical attention if
heat causes them to experience
“dizziness, rapid heartbeat, diar
rhea, nausea, cramps, throbbing
headache, dry skin but no sweat-
ing, chest pain, great weakeness,
mental changes, breathing
problems or vomiting.”
