KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City's six-game losing streak may not be the only thing Bo Jackson broke last night.
Tartabull singled off Scott Bailes, 3-3, before second baseman Frank White, appearing in a team record 1.892nd game, singled off Sammy Stewart, sending Tartabull to third.
En route to helping the Royals beat Cleveland 3-2, Jackson may also have broken the left thumb of Indians catcher Rick Dempsev.
Kansas City since he announced his plans to be a running back for the Los Angeles Raiders in the off-season, sent right fielder Cory Snyder to the warning track with his opposite-field fly.
Jackson, the 1985 Heisman Trophy winner who plans to play for the Los Angeles Raiders as an off-season "hobby," drove in Danny Tartabull with the winning run with a long sacrifice fly in the eighth inning.
"I'm sorry that he got hurt, but that's baseball." Jackson said. "If the catcher is between you and the plate, you get to the plate the best way you can. I wasn't trying to hurt him. I was just trying to reach the plate."
thing and if I'd been the runner, I would have done the same thing. Bo Jackson is a very powerful young man and he closes ground quick."
In the second, Jackson lowered his shoulder and knocked Dempsey almost out of the dirt area of the plate.
feet, but held onto the ball for the out.
He left the field on wobbly legs and was replaced by Chris Bando.
Cory Snyder singled leading off the Cleveland fifth, took third on Brook Jacoby's single.
Jackson said he regretted that Dempsey was injured.
"There is a dislocation at the base of the left thumb and there is a fracture, according to the X-rays we have now," said Doc Edwards, a lead manager. "We'll send him back to the hospital to monitor the condition and more X-rays. He'll be out for sometime, but we don't know how long."
Dempsey went sprawling about 10
The Royals and Indians engaged in a spirited brawl last week in Cleveland, but Jackson's assault on Dempsey went unavenged.
"It was a good, clean, hard-nosed
Edwards said. "If I'd been the catechist,
it would have been."

KU tennis players out of tournament after first round
By ELAINE SUNG
Staff writer
Two KU tennis players and one former KU player were eliminated in first-day singles competition in the main draw of the Rock Chalk Tennis Tournament.
Wolf, who will not continue competing on the United States Tennis Association circuit, said that he was not prepared for the tournament.
Sophomore Craig Wildey lost to seventh-seeded Peter Smith 6-1, 3-6, 4-6.
Former KU student Mike Wolf, who turned professional upon completion of his eligibility this spring, lost his match to No. 2 seed Jim Gurfein 7.5, 6.2.
In qualifying rounds last week, 128 players participated. From that, sixteen players advanced to play with 52 other amateurs and professionals in the 68-man main draw which began yesterday at Robinson Center.
"I played fairly well, but I kind of lost patience," Wildey said. "I didn't pass very well. He broke my serve once in the third set and that was it."
Gross said that he had been playing well the last few weeks, but was overpowered during the match by Thompson.
The third KU entry was freshman Jeff Gross, who red-shirted last season. He lost his match to unseeded James Thompson, 6-3, 6-4.
"He pressured me, and that was the main thing that beat me." Gross said. "I played pretty well through the whole thing, but he just played better."
Two other KU players, sophomore Jim Secrest and senior Reggie Hodges, did not advance from the qualifying rounds.
Scott Perelman, KU tennis coach and tournament director, thought that mental attitude and actual preparation were key factors in the tournament.
"I think that as a group, we're hitting the ball but mentally we're not that tournament-tough." Perelman said.
First-day competition also saw the upset of five of the sixteen seeded players, including top-seeded Brett Dickinson.
Dickinson was defeated by Neil Broad, a Texas Christian University senior, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.
"It ites pretty good," Broad saeo. "I felt pretty confident that I could win. His game suits mine, and he helped me play better. It's the first match that I've played well in a long time and I'm happy."
According to Perelman, one outstanding player in the tournament is 15-year-old Michael Chang of La Costa, Calif. Chang won his match yesterday 6-4, 6-3 over Don Russell.
Chang has virtually nothing to lose, Perelman said, since he is not depending on a paycheck, as many of the other players are.
"He's enjoying the challenge and moving very well and confidently." Perelman said. " he's at the top of his game, an outstanding young player."
Chang said his play was not affected by the publicity surrounding him, but he admitted to feeling frustrated during the match.
Players like Chang have been drawing more attention to the tournament, Perelman said. He estimated that 500 people watched the matches yesterday and guessed that many people will continue to attend as long as the weather stays nice.
Pritchard's 3-pointer sinks old Jayhawks
Special to the Kansan
By JOHN MONTGOMERY and ELAINE SUNG
Some of the greatest basketball players in KU history donned Jayhawk uniforms once again and took on the country's best junior players last week in Allen Field House.
Despite their experience and support from 5,300 spectators, the oldtimer fell to Coach Larry Brown's U.S. Junior World Team, 96-92.
With one minute left, Kevin Pritchard, the only Kansas player on the Junior team, sank the winning shot, a three-pointer, that broke a 92-92 tie. Pritchard had a key rebound to keep possession of the ball for the Junior World Team and ran down the clock.
The Kansas All-Star team had arrived at the field house without formal practice, but led by as many as nine points in the first half. The Junior World Team had been practicing the previous week and a half.
The All-Stars were slow getting started, but managed a 14-13 lead about three minutes into the game. The nipples tied at 20-20, but the All-Stars took control, taking a 50-44 lead at halftime.
Former Kansas basketball players Greg Dreiling, no. 30, and Cedric Hunter, no. 24, go up for a rebound against U.S. Junior World Team players during their exhibition last Wednesday at Allen Field House. The Junior World Team, coached by Larry Brown, won the game 96-92.
Brown said he spoke with former player Mark Durden at the half.
Ice Wilkins BUKANGAM
"We aren't losing in these white uniforms." Turcone said.
The magic wore off, however. Brown's team, which shot only 40 percent in the first half, came out strong.
The juniors never gave the lead back to the All-Stars and won it with Pritchard's three-pointer and a free throw by Dwayne Schintzius, the 7-foot-2-inch center.
The Junior World Team was able to tie the game 61-61 when Scott Williams caught a cross-court pass for a slam dunk.
"They were well prepared, and we had no practice at all," said Calvin Thompson, the All Stars' leading scorer. His points "I guess the best team won."
Starting for the All-Stars were Thompson, Greg Dreiling and Ron
Kellog, all from the Jayhawk's 1986 Final Four team; Darnell Valentine, a 1981 graduate; and Carl Henry, who played at KU from 1982-84.
R. C. Buford, KU junior varisity basketball coach, coached the All-Star
For the junior team, Brown started Williams of North Carolina; Lionel Simmons, La Salle; Schintzius, Florida; Gary Payton, Oregon State; and Steve Thompson of Syracuse. All are sophomores.
Williams, a 6-10, 220-pound forward, had 19 points to lead the Junior World team.
Pritchard, who shot 100 percent for a total of 11 points, nine of which were in the second half, said that getting the win was significant.
"It was a great feeling," Pritchard said. "I think it got down to the wire, and everyone wanted to win."
Pritchard was playing on his home court but in a different uniform and against two former teammates, Turgeon and Cedric Hunter. He said it was strange playing for the other side.
