Scott has struck out 10 or more batters in 11 games this season, and he struck out the side in 24 innings. In his first six major-league sea sons, including four with the New York Mets, Scott had a record of 29- 44. But he was determined to emerge from that mediocrity, and before the 1985 season, with the help of San Francisco Manager Roger Craig, he developed a split- fingered fastball. He used the new pitch to great ef fect and went 18-8 with a 3.28 earned run average, by far his best year, and won 13 of his last 15 deci sions. Twice in 1985, he pitched four-hit shutouts. receptions for eighth place on the A&M list.

Now, after three somewhat re- narkable seasons with the New York ankees, the 25-year-old first base- is overtaking some long-stand- ng team records and he knows all bout Ruth’s contemporaries. "If he gets any better,” Manager arl Weaver of the Baltimore Moles said, “he might be thrown mt by the players’ association for bowing everybody up.” Shooting for his second American ague batting title in three seasons, fittingly is hitting .351, with 28 wme runs, 49 doubles, 223 hits and 05 runs batted in. Mattingly, who won the 1984 bat- ig title by three points over team- ate Dave Winfield by getting four lits in the final game, has a one- edge over Boston’s Wade oggs. Both the Yankees and Red iox were idle Thursday. This year’s batting race may face the same scenario as two years ago, with Boston and New York facing each other in the final four games. “It’ll probably go down to the last day,” Mattingly said this week dur ing a series at Baltimore. “I don’t feel that I’ll fall off, and I don’t think he’ll fall off. At this point, you don’t fluctuate much with so many at- bats.” Last year, when he was voted the league’s Most Valuable Player, Mat tingly led the majors with 145 RBI and hit 35 homers. In 1984, he led the league with a .343 average. Mattingly is the first Yankees player to have three consecutive 200-hit seasons since Lou Gehrig did it from 1930-32. He has a shot at Gehrig’s team record of 52 doubles and the hit total of 231 set by Earle Combs in 1927. Not bad for a slightly-built player who wasn’t picked until the 19th round in the 1979 draft. Brewers’ manager retires 036 MILWAUKEE (AP) — George I Bamberger announced his second I retirement as manager of the Mil waukee Brewers on Thursday, say ing he was “just being realistic” after 41 years in baseball. "I said, ‘What am I doing here? I should be back in Florida,”’ Bam- j berger, 61, said. The Brewers are in last place in the American League East Division. “It’s a nerve-wracking job,” Bam berger said. “Don’t get me wrong. It has its good points, but I weighed it and came up with more bad points than good points.” It was Bamberger’s third retire ment as a major league manager. He stepped down from the Brewers in 1980 and from the New York Mets in 1983. Bamberger brought the Brewers their first winning season in 1979, but going into Thursday night’s home game against Baltimore, the team was 70-81 and 21 games be hind first-place Boston. Bamberger said a recent seven- game losing streak “can make your mind up a little quicker,” but he was not leaving because of the team’s poor play. “We played better ball than six or seven other clubs,” he said. “I’m not dissatisfied. I just felt it was time to get out.” He Said he probably would have retired even if the Brewers had a winning season. An interim manager will replace Bamberger before the end of the season, Harry Dalton, the Brewers’ executive vice president and general manager, said. It ;as that tly 3P SB. 1 ir.

Your BASIC solution: Introducing BAS1CALC. The new Texas Instruments programmable calculator. Now there’s a programmable scien tific calculator that solves even the most complex math, engineering and science problems in a BASIC way. The TI-74 BASICALC. Unlike most other programmable calculators that require you to learn a new, complicated system of key stroke commands-in effect, a new programming language —the TI-74 BASICALC allows you to use the BASIC language programming you already know. But don’t let the BASICALC’s ease of operation fool you. It also ©1986 Tl. has more calculating power than comparably-priced programmables. Your basic specs: • Operates as a calculator or BASIC computer • 8K RAM expandable to 16K RAM • 70 built-in scientific functions • Optional software cartridges for mathematics and statistics • Optional PASCAL language cartridge • Optional printer and cassette interface And a variety of options, like soft ware cartridges, are available that make it even more powerful and convenient. Stop by and see the TI-74 BASICALC for yourself. In basic terms, what it really offers you is a bargain.
