KC prolongs race with Angels
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The Royals saved last night's game, but today there may be a different story.
California manager Gene Mauch rested three starters yesterday, all of whom someday will probably make it to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Reggie Jackson, Fred Lynn and Rod Carew all played, none started and the Royals beat California, 5-4. But they will be back and well-rested tonight.
'Lynn and Carwe will both start to borrow tools. Maue said.' And 'borrow tools,' Maue added.
"The fans will get five shots at him." Mauch was referring to the booing that eventually turned into a rain of garbage onto the field, thrown by Kansas City fans who acted as though they were New York Yankees fans.
"I think it is ridiculous when fans do that," said Carew, one of the classiest players in all of baseball. "The fans pay their money and they can boo or say anything they like. But when they start throwing things . . .
"It ittared last night when they started throwing things and it continued tonight. I have no respect for the men when they do something like that."
Jackson was the main target of the debris, mainly for his slide that injured Kansas City's Frank White at second base last week.
I've been going to Kansas City games for the past six years and have always been told that New York Yankees fans are maniacs. Well, Royals fans, you put

yourselfs right up there with those Yankees fans last night.
It was a classic game that didn't need this sort of thing. The Royals had to win to preserve any chance of winning the division title, and they did.
A crowd of 30,454 saw the Royals jump to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a double by George Brett, an error by California third baseman Dou DeCines and an RBI single by Willie Alkens. The Angels came back in the fourth inning and scored four runs on four hits.
DeCinces led off with a double and
Brian Downing singled, putting runners at the corners. Second baseman Bobby Grich walked and filled the bases and Don Baylor, who barely missed hitting a home run in the second inning, two two runs and gave the Angels the lead.
Gritch scored on a sacrifice fly and shortstop Tim Foll hit a seeing-eye single that barely made it through a pulled-in infield.
Royals manager Dick Howser then pulled started pitcher Larry Gura and brought in Mike Armstrong, Armstrong became the star of the game.
He pitched four innings of three-hit ball and got the victory, with help from Dan Quisenberry, who came in with one out in the eighth and a runner on first.
The only reason Armstrong got the victory, though, was because of two Kansas City players who made up for Monday's disappointing performances.
After the Royals had made the score 4-3 on Cesar Geronimo's double-play grounder and Steve Hammond's pinch-hit single, Jerry Martin, who struck out twice on Monday with runners in scoring position, hit a towering 450-foot home run and tied the score.
Then Willie Wilson, who was 3 for 4 on the evening, doubled on a hit to center field that looked as if it would only be a single.
"It was jammed on that pitch and thought he'd catch it." Wilson said.
After U.L. Washington grounded out, Brett, who had two errors in one inning Monday, grounded a single and scored 12th in the 12th game-winning hit of the season.
"When I saw Lynn put his head down I decided to go for two."
But the drama wasn't over yet. In the top of the ninth, Lynn grounded out to second opening the inning and Daryl Sconiers popped to second.
Quisenberry, who picked up his league-leading 34th save, had struck out Jackson on Monday night, and, in one of the most grueling one thing—hit it out of the ballpark.
Jackson, however, hit a little chopper over the mound that he beat out for a single. Carew then hit a line drive to the shortstop and ended the game.
"Their backs are to the wall," Carew said. "We're still going home to play our final three games in front of the fans and we'd rather win it."
The Royals aren't giving up, though. "We've been through a hell of a lot." Howser said. "Whatever happens, we're going to play like hell."
Armstrong said, "It hone to be one at a time. We just have to win them."
And against an all-star lineup like the California Angels, even that may not be possible.
Judge finds NFL guilty of unfair labor tactics
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—An administrative law judge of the National Labor Relations Board yesterday rued that the NFL was guilty of unfair labor practices in refusing to use the players' union copies of player contracts and radio-television contracts.
The judge, Julius Cohn, said in his ruling that the FNL Management Council, the league's negotiating arm, violated the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act by refusing to furnish the information.
The management council immediately said it would appeal the ruling.
The union has been on strike against the NFL since Sept. 21. The players' Association has labeled the practice an "unfair labor practice strike."
Negotiations are to resume tomorrow in Washington. The last talks were held Sunday in New York, but both sides said no substantial progress was made toward achieving a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expired July 15.
A previous NLRB ruling also went

against the NFL when the board agreed with the union that Seattle wide receiver Sam McCullum, the Seahawks' union player-representative, became because of activities other than his lack of ability at his position.
United Press International also learned yesterday that the union was seeking subcommittee meetings today in Washington.
An NFLA source told UPI, "We would like to have some smaller subcommittee meetings on some of the special aspects of the negotiations."
A subcommittee, made up of three representatives sach from the union and the NFL, met last month to try to iron out some of the health and safety aspects of the contract. That committee no decisions and has not met since.
The NFLPA had sought additional information from the NFL, but William Lubbers, NLRB general counsel, threw out some of the requests in an earlier hearing. Lubbers said the union was not interested in the mandatory aspects of the radio-TV contracts, the contracts for the sale of NFL films, video tape and the local radio-TV contracts.

Unbeatable, impossible and frustrating were only a few of the words used to describe the windy conditions that the KU men's tennis team overcame yesterday in its opening duel with the Hawks. The Jayhawks beat Baker easily. 7-1
"It's hard to say how well we played with the conditions this bad," said Coach Scott Perelman. "We did keep on and not let the wind bother us as much."
The wind wasn't KU's only problem. The 'Hawks were without the No. 1 player, Brett Blair. Blair had to take a test in the afternoon and was unable to get to the match until after the singles portion had been completed.
"Brett had an academic commitment that we were not able to work around." Perelman said. "It gave some other people a chance to play, though."
Stearns and Caciopolpi won the No. 2 doubles match, defeating Johnson and Gonzales, 6-3, 7-6, and David Mills teamed with Center and took the No. 3 doubles match against Faulkner and Lova, 6-4, 6-0.
Playing for Blair in the 1. one singles match was Scott Alexander. Alexander suffered an injury to awkward loss, but he did not doug 2, only 6. However, Alexander combined with
"I think that the wind bothered Scott's game more than some of our other players." Perelman said. "He relies on his big serve and volley game and the wind really had an effect on him."
Jim Snytt and wom the No. 1 doubles against Kaut and Plaunet, 8:1, 5:7.
In the No. 2 singles match, freshman Michael Center, last year's Kansas Class 64 high school champion, beat Glauert, 6-1; 0-1, 3-1; Michael Stearsman beat Dave Johnson, 6-1, 7-6; No. 4 Franco Cincioni copollini beat Greg Falkner, 6-4, 7-9; Syrett won the No. 5 match against Andy Loya, 6-2, 6-1; and No. 6 Tom Black beat Alex Gonzales, 6-3, 6-3.
Rookie canoeists find Kaw River rough
By RUSTY FABER
Sports Writer
This writer, along with enthusiastic sidekick Tim Dumman, gave a first-hand look at the Kate Saturday during the Celebrity Canoe Race, part of the centennial running of the Kansas River Regatta.
The Kaw River looks calm and peaceful — until you paddle it, that is.
Representatives from the Kansas City Times, JKHK, KLWN, KLZR and KANU radio stations, along with two members of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Commission, rounded out the celebrity crews.
As the Kansan entry, Tim and I had one goal in mind — winning.
these two rookie canoeists, our new goal was just to stav afloat.
The serenity we had envisioned of the Kaw and our ultimate goal of a first-place finish were quickly dashed as friends pushed our canoe out to sea.
We found out right there that for
After gratefully accepting advice from several coaches lining the Kaw banks, we made slight progress starting line, which seemed distant.
Our six opponents waited patiently for our arrival, as did several hundred spectators who stood on the river banks.
A stiff breeze hit us directly in the face as we reached the starting line, and the waves were anything but calm.
Our strategy was to sprint out fast and take an early lead, for the race was only 300 yards long. A quick lead would assure us a good spot at the mark and set us in good position for our final kick downstream.
It never came
We used our strategy as long as we could. Then the flag darted up, signaling the start of the race.
Being a bit more muscular than I, Tim and his powerful stroke caused early problems for us. We quickly had the lead we wanted, but the banks of the Kaw were not exactly what we had in mind.
After zig-zagging through other celebrity canoes for nearly half the race, we finally set our aluminum canoe in the right direction.
By this time, the Kansas City Times already had mounted a sizable lead on us, as did most of the other boats. However, there was one exception.
The crew of KLZR remained and we were now caught up in a fierce battle for last place coming into the turn at the midway point.
With about 50 yards remaining, our lack of training became apparent. Muscles, idle since past athletic days, groaned under the strain. The paddles became heavier with each synchronized stroke.
Yet the race continued.
Now only 20 yards from the finish line, the hundreds of fans, including the two victorious caneists from the Times, began chanting "Kansas, Kansas, Kansan," in loud unison that could spark the hardest of hearts.
This spirited encouragement was all we needed as we straightened our boat and headed for home. The KLZR team began their kick about the same time, and if it wasn't for our boat knocking over a tree, I think they would have caught us.
As we bore in on the finish line, and then padded over to the docks, we were consolled to hear applause of approval from our river-bank fans.
Tired, sore and wet, we pulled our canoe ashore with help from Ellsworth Hall friends
Although we encountered numerous problems during our first canoe run on the waters of the Kaw River, we held our heads high. We did not finish first, but we did not finish last either. And there is always next year.
