September 29.1983 'Wheez Kids' clinch NL East crown By United Press International CHICAGO — The critics may have laughed at the so-called "wheeze kids" when the Philadelphia Phillies acquired the likes of Joe Morgan before the start of the 1983 season. But now the Phils are enjoying the last laugh. The Phillies, capping a dramatic September pennant drive, routed the Chicago Cubs 13-6 behind Morgan and catcher Bo Diaz yesterday to clinch the National League East Division for the fifth time. The victory, the Phillies' 80th of the season and 12th in their last 13 games, eliminated the second-plACE Pittsburgh Pirates. Morgan had four hits and three RBI while Diaz went 5-for-5 with three RBI and two homers. Mike Schmidt added his 40th homer. "I'm 40 and proud of it," said Morgan, who played on division winners in Houston and with the powerful Cincinnati Reds of the 1970s. "I wouldn't switch places today with me, but I know that I never gave up on myself or this team this year." Morgan, languishing between 200 most of the season, cause fire in September and his blazing bat helped pace a 19-hit attack against the Cubs. He doubled and scored the Phils' fourth and second single in the second and added a two-run single in the fifth. Diaz, who had an off season in his second year with the Blazs, bled a solo honor in the second a two-run shot in the game. He scored a three-pointer in the final. "I have been quiet most of this year because I haven't had a good season," Diaz said. "I'm just glad I could contribute to this club today and that we clinched it." Schmidt's homer marked the third time in his career he has surpassed the 40-home run plateau. But the champagne-drenched Schmidt was more concerned with his contribution earlier in the month when he charged that the team was disorganized and never knew who would be in the lineup. “If we go 3-19 instead of 19-3 after that, then I can hang up my spikes,” he said. “But dang-dag它, I’m going to take credit for it. Some guys came up to me after it and said it would knock the pressure out. I stuck my neck out and it worked well.” United Press International CHICAGO — Joe Morgan and AI Holland embraced after the Philadelphia Phillies captured the National League Eastern Division yesterday by beating the Chicago Cubs 13-6. Morgan had four hits and three RBI to lead the Phils. Bird signs contract worth $15 million By United Press International BOSTON — All-Pro forward Larry Bird ended his second and final salary struggle three days ahead of schedule yesterday by signing a contract with the Boston Celtics, who will pay him more than $15 million through 1990. The seven-year deal, which was completed Tuesday, makes Bird one of the two highest paid players in the NBA, rivaling the $13.2 million, six-time Moss Monale. Bird's pact, however, is all cash and has no incentives. Bird told a news conference at the Boston Garden he was extremely satisfied with the contract and he was relieved to have it signed by his deadline of Oct. 1. He also said it would be his last contract. SPORTS ALMANAC BASEBALL AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division W 16 W. Pct.
