Park in Ft. Myers. Next season they will train in a combination training camp-amusement park set up. Oh great, a baseball Wally World.
The game against the Texas Rangers looks like a replay from most Royals games last year — good pitching, no hitting, Mark Gubicza looks sharp, but the Royals manage only three hits. Dan Quisenberry also did his 1986 imitation in the ninth inning as he hit a batter, surrendered two singles and a run to take the loss, 2-1.
The crowd, obviously deciding this game gave them a good chance to take a nap, was deafening quiet, except for one guy who hooted at the top of his lungs between innings. He like the singing vendor, is a regular.
MARCHETT - PORT CHARLOTTE
It's been a good day. I get World Series Day Knight's autograph, and my favorite Baltimore the Baltimore Orioles, have just disposed of the Texas Rangers. 7-3. My friend and I are sitting in a restaurant, looking over the spring training schedule in The Sporting News when I see it — "Mets vs. White Sox at St. Petersburg (N)."
We wolf down our meal, jump into
our rented Nissan and get on Highway 75, where the speed limit is merely a suggestion.
It was Ernie Banks who said "Let's play two." We decided to see two, in different cities.
Yes, the singing vendor was there, but his voice doesn't carry as well at night. The heavily New York-area crowd, armed with radios and portable televisions, seemed to be more focused on the game. Swacuse-Florida basketball game.
MARCH 20 — CLEARWATER — Spring training is catching on. The Blue Jays-Reds game in Dunedin is sold out, unless one wants to buy a $4 ticket for $10 from a scalper. In what other sport would fans scalp exhibition tickets?
Instead, we take a five-minute drive to see the Phillies play the Cardinals in Clearwater. We're in luck. Today is Lance Parrish's first game behind the plate for the Phillies.
Unfortunately, it may be Steve Carlton's last game as a pitcher. "Lefty" gives up three runs in the first two innings, including a homer to weak-hitting catcher Mike LaValliere. Carlton doesn't catch any runs
in the next three innings, but he is consistently falling behind hitters, and most of the outs are long fly balls...
On Saturday, the Phillies released Carlton.
MARCH 21 - ST. PETERSBURG
MARCH 21 — ST PETErSBURG Royals or Cardinals, top of the league, could have been subtitled "Tim Conrey and the inning from hell."
The St. Louis left-hander faces nine batters, walking six of them. He also makes an error on a pickoff play at first and uncorns a wild pitch. Catcher Tom Magenozzi in the fun by throwing the ball into centerfield on a steal attempt, although the umpire already had called ball four on a pitch to Danny Tartabull.
Usually, pitchers in exhibition games are left in like sacrificial lambs, but even Whitey Herzog can't take any more and pulls Conroy. The Royals score seven runs on three hits, six walks, a wild pitch and two errors. Yuck.
Editors note. Harlen Maksenm, assistant sports editor, spent spring break in Florida visiting the spring training camps of several major-league baseball teams.
The Kansas women's tennis team begins play today at the three-day Northeast Louisiana Invitational in Monroe, La. The Jayhawks, 6-7, will face teams from Northeast Louisiana, Arkansas and Southwest Louisiana.
KU tennis teams travel to weekend tournaments
Both squads will play this weekend without their team captains. Senior Barb Inman, who plays at the No. 5 singles position and teams with Marie Hibbard at No. 2 doubles, is recovering from arthroscopic surgery she underwent to repair torn cartilage in her left knee.
Sports Briefs
The men's team, 11-7 and ranked 28th in the country in the ITCA coaches poll, leaves today for the West Virginia Invitational in Morgantown, W. V. Kansas will play West Virginia, 17th-ranked Michigan and Richmond. Assistant coach Michael Center will accompany the team.
Senior Mike Wolf, Kansas' No.1 singles player and one-half the No.1 doubles team, also will not make the trip. Wolf returned to Lawrence after the first three matches of the men's spring break trip to California, suffering from what both he and Perelman called "physical and mental exhaustion."

The Jayhawks, 11-10, begin play today in the San Jose Invitational in San Jose, Calif. Kansas, ranked 19th in the country, is one of eight top-20 teams in the 16-tem field.

Women golfers to play in Florida
Five members of the women's golf team will compete against 12 teams, including ninth-ranked Indiana. Sunday through Tuesday in the Peggy Kirk Bell Invitational in Winter Springs, Fla.
Coach Kent Weiser said that the team had not been able to practice much this week because of the weather but that he didn't think it would hurt the team's performance.
it's disappointing to come back after playing so well last weekend and wanting to play and not being able to do it.
The Jahayks finished third March 18-19 in the Inlii Spring Break Tournament in Tampa, Fla., and shot a first-round total of 305, the team's best score in nearly seven years, Weiser said.
"We hope to use our success last week as a stepping stone this week." Weiser said.
The women who will compete in Winter Springs include Sheri Aetchison, Tina Ginewau, Donna Lowen, Sarah O'Reilly and Janice Smith.
