In his first six major-league sea

emerge from that mediocrity, and
before the 1985 season, with the

He used the new pitch to great ef

BALTIMORE (AP) — As a
oungster, Don Mattingly once
bought Babe Ruth was a cartoon
haracter.
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.

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.
