25,000 Expected Tonight For Royals' Home Opener
KANANS CITY, MO. (UPI) -- A crowd that could reach 25,000 is expected Monday night for the Kansas City Royals' home opener against the Minnesota Twins.
Two winners in their first start, Dick Mean of Kansas City and Billy Hewlett of Minnesota.
Drago fashioned a six-hitter in the Royals' opening 41 victory at California and Bylewen span a four-ball shut out for the Twins in a 4-0 victory over Milwaukee.
The expansionist Royals will be starting their third season in the American League's Western Division and their last in Municipal Stadium. They'll move into their new stadium
at the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex next spring.
Monday night's game will be the home detain for shortstop Fred Patek, a diminutive fireball who's expected to tighten the Royals' inner defense. He's also an excellent leadoff hitter, a spot where the Kansas Citians have been sadly lacking.
Pickeen came the Royals in an off-season deal with Pittsburgh. The Pirates got picker Bob Johnson, shortstop Jack Hernandez and third baseman Danny Jarrus. The Pirates picketer Jarry May and pitcher Bruce Dal Capone.
Patek and Johnson were the key figures in the trade.
The Royals changed their pitching rotation.
giving Drago the opening-night assignment several days ago. The change occurred when Wally Bunker was shelled by the Angels in the second game of the season at California.
("the Hunker") says there is no pain in his shoulder. "Manager Bob Lemon said, "but he's not letting the ball go like he wants. I'm not happy with the velocity he had."
Bunker endured a 2-11 campaign last year and was plagued by arm trouble all the way. The Royals' first home stand will consist of two games with Minnesota Monday and Wednesday, followed by two with California Wednesday and Thursday. All are night games.

Cleveland, Royals Coast to Victories
By United Press International
By United Press International
A change of scenery finally seems to be bringing
the air in the city.
Foster, billed for nearly five years as the second coming of Sandy Kofaux, never quite made it with the Los Angeles Dodgers, commiling a 14-24 record in three seasons.
The Dodgers paddled Foster to Cleveland during the off-season and Foster made his American League debut a memorable one. The Dodgers outshot an unhealthy and lighting a five-run eighth innings.
With the score tied at 2-1 in the eighth, Foster doubled off Gary Peters and Larry Brown was hit by a pitch. Vada Pinson's single scored Foster with the go-ahead run and Brown scored on an infidel out. Walks to Ken Harrelson and Ted Ford accounted for another run. Edie Leon sung in another run. Hodgde hudged for the fifth run of the injury.
Jayhawks Drop Three To Missouri
rally that carried the Indians to a 7-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
The Jayhawks returned home Saturday after a long, disappointing road trip in which KU was Mizzou sweep a three-game baseball season. The Jayhawkes were found on the short end of the scoreboard in all three games from 5-4 and 3-4 on Friday and 7-5 on Saturday.
KU scored three of their four runs in the fourth off of All-Big Eight pitcher T Billtod on a pair of base on balls, a single by Corku Linnou and a double by Don Lahti. The only dayhawk score, a solo home run by Corder, came in the seventh.
In the first game KU, now 5-13 and 6-4 saw a 41-lead disappeared in the last innning, Tommy Nunnel delivered a two-out, three run homer against Steve Corder which was enough to break the Jayhawks back and end the seven innings affair 5-4.
Missouri's Terry Periman shut out the Jayhawks in the second game Friday. The southpaw held the Jayhawks to four hits while striking out eight.
The Tigers picked up two runs in the fourth inning on three consecutive singles and a Jayhawk error. Steve Patchin, all-league catcher, scored Missouri's third and final on a bases empty home run in the sixth inning to give the Tigers an insurance run.
The Jayhawks had led earlier in the see-saw battle. Culbertson knocked in Corky Hines to win over the center field. Pinch hitter Sturge Corder then came in to drive Culbertson home with a
Tommy Nunn then hit what appeared to be a routine play to KU freshman shortstop (playing his first game) Randy Culbertson. The ball took a bad hop and was booted by the shortstop when allowed Pickernell and the ball went out. Pickernell was charged with an error on the play.
Errors cost the Jawhaws nine in Saturday's game. The scoring was set up in the eighth inning when Jim Pickernell of Missouri sung and was sacrificed to Josh Gibbs, who walked intentionally and Andy Aldridge was brought into relieve loser Bob Kaufman.
He said Kansas has the potential, but hasn't not everything together.
Aldridge unleashed a wild pitch which allowed the runners to advance to second and third, then walked Steve Patchin intentionally.
Coach Floyd Temple reflected disap
pointment over the trip.
I have no criticism about their efforts.
They are really trying hard. I don't think
we're an 0-6 team. We're going to beat
somebody."
Foster was bothered by wildness in his first AI, start, walking nine batters, but Cleveland Manager Alvin Dark is sufficiently impressed.
“这 kid knows how to pitch,” said Dark, “and“我不 worried about him. 他’ll do the job and I think he’ll do it much better than I had hoped he would.”
In another American League action, Baltimore beat Detroit 9-3 after losing the doubleheader opener 54. Washington nipped New York after bowing 1-0 in the first game, Milwaukee blanked California 3-0, Kansas blankedland 0-5 and Minnesota shut out Oregon 6-4.
In the National League, Atlanta downed
atlanta-31. San Francisco beat Louis-74.
Atlanta lost to Detroit-62.
Dave McNally pitched a seven-hitter for his second victory of the season to lead the Orioles to their second game decision after Bill Freedman's 11-minning game Detroit had
Cincinnati 1-4 in 11 innings. Houston whipped
Chicago 7-4. San Diego defeated Los Angeles
9-5. Philadelphia drew 2-0.
Don Bufford had three hits and scored two runs in the second game to highlight an 11-hit Baltimore attack. Dave Johnson, Boogie Walker and Mickey Mantle each run for each of the World Champion Orioles.
Freenan's homer in the opener game after Baltimore had rallied in the eighth and ninth innings.
Ed Kirkpatrick and Bobby Koop drove in two runs each to highlight a 15-hit Kansas City attack that carried the Royals past Oakland. Kirkpatrick had a two-run single to cap a Knoop's double provided the last two runs in the seventh.
Jim Kaat scattered 11 hats and drove in two runs with a bases loaded single to lead the Twins past Chicago. Cesar Tovar had three hits for the Twins.

Kansas Quarterback Dan Heck Rolls Out
... behind blocking of Steve Conley (46) and Bob Childs (66)
Fambrough Pleased With Defense
Despite a five-touchdown effort by the Kansas offense, head coach Don Fambrigham was most pleased with his defense during a game last week. He said: "We've done a lot of that."
"We had the defense in there with only one formation and no stunting," Fambrough said. "When you do that it gives the offense an advantage. Since the defense was so limited, I thought they played good ball."
Two defensivenew Fambridge was most pleased with were a pair of All-American junior college transfers in the KU camp this spring for the first time. Mitch Sutton, a 6-6 and 354-pound defensive tackle, and Edie Sheats, a 6-3 and 210-pound defensive end, were the recipients of Fambridge's praise. Sutton is a transfer from Fort Scott and Sheats from Hutchinson.
"Sutton and Sheats did a good job rushing the passer, which is still something we need work on," he said.
"I am enough praised the offense for its work toward the end. "the most of our encouragement thinks about today was the offense
late in the game," he said in reference to the number one offense, quarterback by last year's starting signal caller Dan Heck, moving to first down against the Steelers.
Heck's team took nine plays to cover the 40 yards. The big gainer was a 38-yard pass to wide receiver Lucius Turner. Vince O'Neil, who will miss KU's first four games next year (all non-conference games) and lead the team in scoring, scored the touchdown. It was his second six-pointer of the day.
Heth heckman ran for one touchdown while throwing for another. Chuck Schmidt, a converted wingback this spring, was on the ground for almost 4 minutes in a corner.
Jerome Nellions, who led all rushers for the day, scored the fifth touchdown on a short plunge from within the one-yard line. Nellions ran 16 yards for the goal.
Heck, who alternated at quarterback with Rich Jones and Bob brugging, was the leading passer of the day connecting on eighteen of 47 passes.
Being Nervous Helped Coodv Win Masters
AUGUSTA, Gau (UPI)-Charlie Coody, who got the Masters Championship, a new green coat for the Easter Parade, and "revenge" in all the same package, joined with the disappointed man he defended, Jack Nicklaus, and his batters of America a strange bit of advice:
"If you want to play championship golf—be nervous."
"I never got over my first-tee jitters all day, and it helped me," said the new champion from Abhene, "Tex. It helped me to keep calm." "I know that if I get time done the things I had to get done."
"I was just too dared burned," said the creftalfen Nicklaus, who saw his hopes for a title before he died.
as he and young John Miller tied for two scores, two strokes behind Coody's winning score.
"I birdied the first hole and I thought, 'Ah, now everything is going according to plan,' said Nicklaus. "It never did. But all the time I kept thinking that it was going to - I kept feeling sure that soon everything would start happening for me, that I would get birdies and I would win the tournament. It happened, but the opposite way.
"Yes, 'I was overconfident'," confessed Niclaus, who already won the PGA Championship this year and was aiming at a "slam" including the Masters and U.S. and Canada. But when he parred, did I realize I wasn't going to win." The 32-year Coody fired a two-under.
par 70, after starting the day tied with Nicklaus for the lead. Nicklaus had a par 72 and the 23-year-old Miller of Napa, Calif., shot a stunning 68. Miller actually held the lead after 15 holes, standing nine under-par. But he bogeyed the 16th and 18th.
Cody knows how that feels, all right—until his triumph Sunday he was known in Masters history as the man who had the title in his 1980s and blew it by begging the last three hooks.
It was "revenge" that Coody mentioned the first thing in his hour of triumph.
too—he led the first round by three strokes and had a four-stroke lead at one point in the third round before falling back into a die. In the second round, he followed after yeller Mullen stirred from the
There was pressure this time, but it was a different kind of pressure," he explained. "That time I was in front and other people were trying to catch me. This time someone else was in front and I was trying to catch him."
"In 1969 I was one mightly disappointed fellow," the tail, slope-shouldered Texan said. "It ate at my insides for a long time. I got a little revenge for that today."
Coody twice blew big leads in this Masters.
At 283, five strokes behind were Gene Littler and Don January, while tied at 284 were Kent Still, Gary Player, and Tom Weiskom. At 284 were Robert de Viezo, Andy Stoddard, Stockton, and the only other man to break for four rounds was Berte Greene at 287.
Bucks, Bullets Win Playoff Games
Milwaukee shot 48 per cent from the floor, and the only reason they won was because the lakers could only hit on 33 per cent of their shots.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, (UPD)—Larry Costello issued a warning to the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday following the Milwaukee Bucks 91-73 win over the Lakers.
"We're going out here ready to explode," costello said. "We're way overdue and I can handle it."
Costello was talking about the shoddy offensive performance by his Bucks, a performance which was good enough to win, but still way below the Bucks' standards.
"Our defense won the game for us," he said. "The guys were really hastling, forcing them (the Lakers) to take bad shots. We were superb."
Lakers Coach Joe Mulaney sort of agreed with Costello. "I don't know if they were that ough defensively," Mulaney said, "but our problem was hitting the open man.
The defense both coaches were talking about was a ferocious trap defense that saw Milwaukee players continuously double-training the man with the ball.
Admittedly Milwaukee's task was made easier by the troubled health status of the Lakers. Jerry West and Elgin Bayton were on a medal flight just before the game the Lakers received approval.
We had a problem executing against that type defense."
Keith Erickson, who has provided some firepower for the Lakers' offense, came down with a bad case of stomach cramps and didn't even dress for the contest.
In Baltimore, the Bullets were expected to roll over and play dead but suddenly they're too far away.
The Bulllets, down 2-0 to New York in their Conference best-of-seven playoff series, were a about written off before Sunday's game. All three players had been injured, injury knee, guard Eddie Miles was sidelined with a leg injury, guard Kevin Loughery was benched with a foot ailment and high score Earl Monroe had a twisted knee. The Kickas came looking for slaughter.
It was the hunter who became hunted, however, as the Bullets, with a super team effort, broke the game open in the third period and humiliated the defending champion Knicks 114-88. The fourth game of the series is scheduled for Wednesday night in Baltimore.
Monroe and Jack Marin sparked a string of 14 straight points in the third quarter and it was all over as Baltimore forged ahead to a 5-0 victory, finished with 31 points and Marin added 22.
The Bullets are hopeful that Johnson, a rugged rebounder who keeps Baltimore
moving with his bustle, will be available for Wednesday night's game.
"There's a good chance Gus will play Wednesday," said Skip Feldman, the Baltimore trainer. "It depends on the therapy and the rest and whether he gets his knee back to full bending. You can't rule him out of anything. He's not a cripple yet."
Red Holmert, the Knuck coach, conceded early in the last period, taking out his regulars and clearing his bench. Walt Frazier's 17 points were high for New York
Soccer Team Kicks Tigers
The KU soccer team kicked the pants off of Fort Hays State Tigers Saturday as the Jayhawk tee team came out a 14-0 victor in their first name of the season.
The team was so far ahead that everyone not a chance to play in the KU line-up.
One casualty came in the middle of the second half when a Hays goal collided with his left backback. He was taken away in an ambulance and reportedly reported a broken bone
Darlan said KU had never had a soccer team as good as this one. He said in intramural training he was the only person to win the championship.
The Big Eight Soccer Tournament is May 1
Oklahoma; Oklahoma; and Colorado are
currently in play.
Coach Guy Darlan, a senior from the Central African Republic, said, "I am very pleased with the guys. And I don't think anybody in the Big Eight is going to stop us."
Hawks Shine At Wichita St.
