Page io THE GAZETTfi, EMPORIA. KANSAS Monday, June 24,1974 SPORT Beats Junction City 9-0, 5-2 Legion Sweeps Twin Bill; Loses at Manhattan 6 to 5 By Ken Harrell The Emporia American Legion baseball team brought its season record up to 6-6 by winning two of three games over the weekend. Emporia swept a doubleheader from Junction City here Saturday night by 9-0 and 3-2 scores, but Sunday afternoon lost a tough 6-5 extra-innings decision at Manhattan. Three Emporia pitchers Jeff Purceil, Chuck Torres, and Gus Collins limited Junction City to three hits during Saturday's doubleheader. Purceil and Torres split the pitching chores in the opening game, Purceil allowing two hits in four innings and Torres allowing no hits in three innings.

Collins went the distance in the nightcap and threw a one-hitter. The only hit off Collins was a single by Steve Fletcher in the sixth inning. Fletcher's hit was a squibbler down the first- base line that Collins almost came up with, but the ball just eluded Ms mitt. Junction City used that one hit in the sixth, plus a walk, an Emporia error, and a couple of dubious throwing selections by Emporia to score its only two runs of the night. Emporia, however, had scored three in the second, and that was enough for Collins.

Emporia had only one hit in the second, a double by Kick Duffy, but the hit came after Collins and Ken Taylor had walked. Collins scored on a wild pitch, Duffy's double drove in Taylor, and Duffy scored when Jerome Hanson reached on an error. the Duffy double was one of just two bits by Emporia in the second game. The other was Brad Bowman's sixth inning single. Collins struck out seven tion City batters, but he also walked five.

I Emporia had a much easier time in the opening game against Junction City. Emporia added six hits to nine free passes to I score nine runs. Emporia scored a single run in the first, three i in the fourth, and five in the sixth. Collins had two of the six Emporia hits, and Duffy had an inside-the-park home run. Purceil struck out eight batters in his four-inning stint and did not walk a batter.

He was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth, though, and had to leave the game. Torres finished up nicely. He walked two in the fifth, but then put Junction City down in order in the sixth and seventh. The Emporia-Manhattan game was tied 5-5 after the regulation seven innings. Emporia had rallied to tie the game with three hits and a pair of runs in the top of the seventh.

Manhattan, however, won it in the bottom of the ninth when Rooks walked, stole second, and was singled across by Brackmen. Bill Fanestil pitched all nine innings for Emporia. He gave up nine hits, walked two, hit a batter, and struck out one. Emporia had eight hits with Terry McCord collecting three of them and Kevin Santaulria and Jeff McAlister each getting two. Emporia's next game will be against Lawrence here Wednesday night at 8 p.m.

McDaniel tossed a three hitter Sunday to give the Kansas City Royals a 4-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics and prevent the losers from sweeping their four-game home series. "I've wanted to be a starting pitcher for several years because I know I can do the job," McDaniel said about the triumph. "One of these days someone will believe It was only the second 1974 start for McDaniel, a reliever for most of his 20-year major league career. He is 1-2 this season. McDaniel retired the first 12 before giving up a run in the fifth inning on two singles and a sacrifice fly by Pat Bourque.

Including that sacrifice fly, McDaniel retired 13 more batters in a row before Bert Campaneas beat out an infield single in the ninth. "I like to start because you have more time to get ready," said McDaniel. "A relief pitcher has to be ready on his first pitch." But Manager Jack McKeon of the Royals said McDaniel will remain a spot starter. "We will use a five-man rotation for the time being," he added. McDaniel is not one of the five regulars.

Getting all their runs in the third inning, the Royals scored twice off Oakland rookie Glenn Abbott, 0-1, on singles by Jim Wohlford and Amos Otis, a walk, and doubles by Vada Pinson and Hal McRae. After A's reliever Paul Lind- 1 a intentionally walked Cookie Rojas to load the bases, Kansas City's George Brett singled to score the final two Royal runs during the decisive rally. ''I tried to make it look like a bad move to pitch to me," Brett said. "I guess they thought they could get me Lindblad shut out Kansas City for the final 6 1-3 innings. In the nightcap, the Twins' Danny Thompson tripled in the seventh and scored on Steve Brve's tie-breaking single.

Rico Petrocelli, hobbled by a pulled hamstring muscle that has knocked him off third base and left him as the Red designated hitter, belted a pair of solo home runs Sunday. And Rick Wise, recovering from tendonitis and a broken finger, pitched five solid innings in his first start in a month. The Rick-and-Rico combination, plus some other healthy hitting, powered Boston to an 8-0 rout of the Cleveland Indians and enabled the Red Sox to widen their American League East lead to 3 games over the Detroit Tigers.

101. West Team Romps To 3 6-to-6 Victory In All-Star Game LUB-BOCK, Tex. (AP) Texas Tech Coach Jim Carien watched his prize quarterback bid fareweE to the homeiolks in the Coaches All-America football game Saturday night and declared: "I'm a Joe Barnes man. I think he'- the greatest." Carlea, one of the West coaches, approached Barnes after the West ambushed the East 36-6 and said simply, "That's the way to go out." Barnes and Jesse Freitas of San Diego State directed the televised summertime assault that feaured two touchdown pass receptions by Southern Cal's Lynn Swann and the multiple heroics of Utah's Steve Odom and Arkansas' Dickey Morton. Freitas zipped a 12-yard scoring pass to to open ihe night's scoring and fired another five-yarder to the fleet Swann to close out the point production.

In between, Barnes, drafted by the Chicago Bears, wiggled 26 yards for a touchdown that shoved the West team of Oklahoma's Barry Switzer into an insurmountable 22-6 lead. He missed on a bng touchdown bomb by inches but wound up hitting on five of 10 pitches for 75 yards. Freitas, the nation's leading collegiate passing and offense leader last year, also connected at a 50 per cent ratio with 9 of 18 for 136 yards. A sixth-round draft choice of the San Diego Chargers, Freitas uvas named the game's outstanding player. Freitas, who claimed he was not fazed by the 105-degree temperature on the artificial floor of Jones Stadium, said, East had a tough time getting their defense together and we had no trouble getting our receivers open." ''Swann was always open," he said of the Pittsburgh Steel- ers' first-round draft choice.

"It was a broken- play and I just Barnes said of his touchdown A flanker drafted by Green Bay, Odom. caught, a couple of passes for 67 yards and returned a Mckoff 47 yards that nearly broke for a touchdown. was a long night." mused Coach Johnny Majors of Pittsburgh, who directed the East staff. Post 2-1 Weekend Off "Speed Junk Prevents Jaycee Sweep By Jim Nirider The Emporia Jaycee's bid for a three-game weekend sweep foundered in unlikely fashion Sunday evening. After beating the Topeka Aces 8-7 Saturday with a five-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning and then topping the Wichita Hustlers 4-2 in the first game of a doubleheader here Sunday, the Jaycees appeared to be in good shape when Wichita turned short of pitchers for the second game and catcher-manager Roger Lindgren took the mound.

After the first three Jaycees went to the plate they owned a 2 0 lead, but couldn't do much after that with Lindgren's assortment of off- speed breaking pitches which mesndered slow'y up io the plate looking extremely fat but apparently were not. Wichita, meanwhile, bunched five hits to score four runs off Ed Shialey in the third and went on to a 7-3 victory. The weekend resulte leave the Jaycees with a 6-8 season record. They are scheduled to meet the Hustlers again at o'clock at Soden's Grove. The Jaycees trailed 7-3 isaci had collected only two hits against D.

Dcclson going into the seventh inning with the Topeka Aces here Saturday afternoon, before Darrell Kaufman both started and ended Emporia's winning rally. Kaufman led off with a single and Tom Shears and John McRae drew walks to load the bases. a a ortstop Dave Bingbam drove in two runs with a single and Jere Peterson followed another single to score McRae and make it 7-6. Roger Newell doubled to score Bingham with the tying run, with Peterson stopping at third. Two strikeouts and a walk later, Kaufman singled to bring in Peterson with the winning run.

Newcomer Joe McLaughiin pitched the distance, allowing seven hits, to get the win. McLaughiin and second baseman Shears have just joined the team after stalling the season with the Liberal Bee Jays. A three-run opening inning pat the Jaycees and Tom Spencer quickly in command in the opening game against Wichita Sunday. After two were out. the Jaycees got the runs on consecutive singles by Kaufman.

McRae. C. J. with a couple of errors and a wild pitch mixed in. The final Emporia run came in the fifth when Kaufman doubled into the right field corner and scored when Turiey bounced a grou-id-rule double over the center field fence.

Wichita scored hi the third on a double and an error and again in the seventh on a double, a sir.gle, and a wild pitch. A throwing error on Shears's ground bail and back-to-back hard-hit doubles, a shot into the left field corner by Peterson and Kaufman's drive to center which hopped over the fence, put the Jaycees up 2-0 with none out in the inning of the nightcap. But Lindgren's junk proved most of the time the rest of the way. The Jaycees had runners on in every inning but other man they could bring around was Shears, singled in the fifth, stole second, and sewed on Peterson's single. shigloy hurt his own cause on a bunt play in the third, hen the Hust'ers went ahead with runs.

With ruaaei's on first and second and one cut, Dan Leis bunted in front of the plate. Shigley fielded the bnH. looked toward third, and then threw too late to first Gail Stratton then doubled home two runs, and after an out thai could have ended the inning, Lyman Covey singled in two more. The Hustlers added one more in the fifth and then got single tallies in the sixth and seventh off who relieved Shirley after the fifth.
