Burke said the acquisition of Colborn was
significant in view of the loss of pitcher A Fitznorman in the recent expansion draft.
"We proved last season you can never have too much pitching," Burke said. The Royals won the American League Western Conference and allowed no problems in keeping a healthy pitching staff.
BURKE SAID Porter, 24, is considered one of the top young catchers in baseball.
Colborn, 30, is a veteran of five major league seasons with the Brewers. He logged his best season in 1973 when he posted an impressive 20-12 record and a 3.18 earned run average. He was named to the American League all-star team that season, and is the only pitcher in the Brewers' eight-year history to win 20 games in one season.
choice in the 1970 free agent draft and was named to the American League all-star team in 1974. He has been the Brewer's No. 1 player in 1974. He hit .206 with five homers and 32 RBI.
The Brewers didn't stop after their trade with the Royals. They traded veterans George Scott and Bernie Carto to the Rockies for exchange for first baseman Cecil Cooper.
In another deal, the Cleveland Indians, who lost Rico Carty to the Toronto Blue Jays in the expansion draft a month ago, got him back when they shipped catcher Rick Cerone and utility man John Lowenstein to Toronto.
Last season he compiled a 9-15 record and a 3.70 ERA for the Brewers, the last place club in the American League East. His performance a 61-62 loss-loss record with a 3.43 ERA.

The loss opened the door for the Pittsburgh Steelers, two-time Super Bowl champions, who were in danger of being eliminated by the National Football League playoff picture.
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and the Cleveland Browns now share first place in the American Conference Central Division and the Steelers can take the division title and a playoff berth with a victory next Saturday in Houston.
The ninth straight victory by the AFC's West Division champions gave the Raiders a 121 record, the best in the league, and the only of the homefield advantage in the playoffs.
Stabler completed 16 of 20 passes for 207 yards in one of his finest NFL performances and raised his season touchdown passes to 27 to lead the league.
Raiders knock off Bengals, 35-20
The first two scoring strikes by the Oakland quarterback went to tight end Dave Casper in the first quarter on plays covering 24 and three yards and sent the Raiders into a 14-16 lead. The Bengals had scored first on Ken Anderson's 40-yard touchdown pass to John McDaniel, but Chris Bahr missed the extra point attempt.
The Raiders held a 21-13 lead at halftime.
OAKLAND (AP)—Ken Stabilier destroyed the Cincinnati Bengals' defense—and probably their playoff hope with four Oakland Raiders at 35-20 victory last night.
Cakland's Cliff Brush caught a 42-yard
barrier at the opening minutes of the
third quarter.
On an 81-yard scoring drive in the second period, McDaniel caught a 46-yard pass and, after Anderson was sacked, gained 45 more yards on a reception that set up Stan Fritts' one-yard touchdown dive that cut Oakland's lead to 14-13.

But Cincinnati again closed the gap to

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Jackie Sherrill, one-time assistant head coach for Johnny Majors at Pittsburgh, said she had a lot of experience on the job vacated by his former boss.
Sherrill returns to Pitt
Carbo was traced to Milwaukee by Boston in midseason and batted 238.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP)—Guards Jay Shider and Larry Johnson scored 20 points each last night and fifth-ranked Kentucky, bursting at a 21-point lead in the first half, rolled to 6-61 college basketball victory over No. 4 Indiana.
Sherrell, 33, said at a press conference but his nine-year contract with top employers was up.
It was the first home loss for the defending NCAA champions in three years and marked the first time in four years they have lost two games in a row.
Kentucky is now 3-0, while Indiana, dropping off a 59-67 loss to Tullope, dropped from

Kentucky never trailed after breaking a 2-2 tie and building a 38-15 advantage in the first period. Indiana could get no closer at 13 points several times in the second half.
Majors announced last Friday he was resigning effective Jan. 2 to become head coach and assistant athletic director at his alma mater, the University of Tennessee.
Sherrell put together a 3-8 season at WSU, building a unit that finished as the No. 1 pass team in the Pacific Eight and won the Nesting Bowl against behind UCLA and Southern California.
Sherrill was defensive coordinator and assistant head coach during Majors' four years at Pitt before leaving to become head coach at Washington State last year. He was also responsible for much of the Panther recruiting while at Pitt.
Scott was the key as far as the Red Sox were concerned.
It was the same situation for Carty.
"WENEEDED that right power hitter," said General Manager Dick O'Connell. "we're glad to big have George back and we got an old friend in Carbo, too."
The Garden said Ali had signed a contract to fight Bobick before he changed his mind and decided to continue his retirement that he announced Oct. 1. Norton had agreed to step out of a contract bout with Bobick to unbearable heavy weight to fight Ali.
Same slanderion for Cary:

the Indians last season, to the draft.
JAYES GANG
By telephone hookup from Louisville, a told a Bobick-Norton news conference today he was through with fighting. He also suggested that the winner of the Bobick-Norton fight meet George Foreman for the heaviest weight title.
But All denied any commitment to fight Bobick.
"I said I would consider it, but I didn't sign a contract," he said.

"I'm through with boxing now," said Ali from his hometown, where he is filming his life story. "I've done everything I can. I'm fed up to hang around and end on my back."
NEW YORK (AP)—Diane Bobick and Ken Norton will fight a 12-round heavyweight elimination bout in Madison Square Garden between Feb. 15 and March 11 but champion Muhammad All says: "One out of two dollars can't get me out the ring!"

"At the time, we debated about it," said Seghi. "We felt Rico would not be taken on the first round and that we would withdraw him after that."
"WE DRAFTED RICO with two thoughts," said Toronto GM Peter Bavasi. "We felt he might be a commodity other clubs would be interested in for a subsequent deal, or he could be a fine hitter for us and a stabilizer in our youth program."
Joanna says, try our gauchos. In gabordine, flannel, and plaids.
But the Blue Jays grabbed Carty.
The first option developed when the Indians decided they wanted Carly back and were willing to part with two players to get him.

It was the second trade between Cleveland and Toronto. Earlier, Toronto selected pitcher Al Fitzmarris in the expansion draft from Kansas City and then shipped him to Cleveland for catcher Alan Ashby and first baseman Doug Ault.
