(AP) Fire destroyed a barn at Ellis Park race track early today, killing at least 30 of the horses inside, authorities said. The estimates of the number of dead horses varied.

Henderson County Sheriff's Deputy Larry Markham quoted the track general manager, Ruth Adkins, as saying that 32 of the 35 horses in the barn died. But another spokesman at the track said he had heard as few as 30 and as many as 36 horses had died. Mrs. Adkins was touring the fire area this morning. Of the dead horses, 21 were described as winners of past races.

Markham said Kentucky State Police arson investigators were at the track. He said the wiring of the barn was all new and was not suspected as the cause of the fire, so investigators are trying to determine if arson is involved. Damage estimate for the lost horses was put at $357,000 by Mrs. Adkins, and the barn was valued at $60,000. The barn Barn is on the back side, across the track from the grandstand.

The track is just south of Evarisville, in Henderson County, Ky. The unidentified groom was burned on his back as he led at least two of the surviving horses to safety. Two other persons Were reported treated for cinders in their eyes. The fire was discovered by a security guard who believed it started in the tack room. The first fire department to.

rush to the fire scene was the Basket! Volunteer Fire Department of the Henderson area. This Unit later was assisted by one fire truck from Henderson and one from Evansville. The first alarm was sounded at 1:07 a.m., arid the fire was controlled about an hour later. Ellis Park officials, announced that.there will be racing at the track today as usual. ducats on sale Western High School officials announced that tickets for Friday night's home game with Tri-Central are on sale in the high school bookstore.

Seattle Slew may 'try' Affirmed SARATOGA SPRINGS, (AP) T- Who's a better horse Seattle Slew or Affirmed? It appears the owners of these two sterling race horses may be planning on finding out by staging a race that be the first time two Triple Crown winners had ever appeared together on a track. Dr. James'Hill, co-owner of 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, said Tuesday night that "serious consideration" would be given to a match race against Harbor View Farm's Affirmed, the 1978 Triple Crown winner.

By John Nelson Associated Press writer Pending the outcome of "The Case of the Loaded Bat," the Kansas City Royals are back in first place alone in the American League West. The Royals scored a 6-3 victory Tuesday night over the Chicago White Sox, and California dropped a 6-2 decision to the New York Yankees, breaking a virtual tie for first place. However, Chicago manager Larry Doby filed a protest with the league over the loss, contending Royals' designated hitter Hal McRae had stuffed the end of his bat with cork, making it illegal. Doby filed the protest after McRae singled home a run in the fourth to give the Royals a 4-0 lead. "We suspect cork, and if they find it, the game reverts to that point and McUae is out," said Doby.

"If there's no cork, that's it." Royals' manager Whitey Herzog, umpire Jerry Neudecker and Mc- Rac all indicated there was nothing amiss, however. Al Cowens provided most of Kansas City's firepower with a two-run homer" and an RBI single, backing the pitching of left-hander Larry Gura (11-3), who pitched 7 1-3 strong innings. Al Hrabosky, the third Royals' pitcher, picked up his 16th save. Elsewhere in the AL, Seattle downed Boston, 5-2; Milwaukee swept a pair from Cleveland, 3-2 and 5-4; Baltimore downed Oakland, 6-4, in 10 innings; Detroit whipped Minnesota, 7-3, and Toronto defeated Texas, 3-1. Yankees 6, Angels 2 Catfish Hunter (8-4) picked up his sixth victory in seven decisions since coming off the disabled list, scattering six hits while the Yankees got 15 hits, all singles.

Thurman Munson and Chris Chambliss each had three hits. The Yankees scored three runs in the second inning off loser Frank Kansas City FWhlte 2b GBrett 3b McRoe dh Cowens rt Otis cl Walhan Ib porlcr Hurdle If UWsaln ss Total Chlcooo obrhbl 4220 Gorr If 4020 Kessnor ss 5121 Saulres Ib 4 2 2 3 LJrtnsn dh 4100 sdrhlm 3b 5021 CWsafn rt 5010 Colbern 3000 Nanrdnv 4010 TSoencr ct KBell pn Bosley cf Prvor 20 38 6 12 5 Total obrhbl 4 I 0 522 400 403 402 30 1 3 0 I 1 0 0 300 0 0 000 400 36 3 9 Kansas City 003 300 Cnlcaoo 000 OOf 1.

Tanana (16-8), who lasted only 4 1-3 innings. Hunter struck out two and walked two. Mariners 5, Red Sox 2 Glenn Abbott (6-10) tossed a five- hitter giving up both runs on homers and Bruce Bochte broke up a shutout by Luis Tiant in the fifth inning with a home run as Seattle continued to plague the East Division leaders at the Kingdome.

Seattle, whirh had just taken two of three in a homestand against the Yankees, also got a two-run single in the eighth from Dan Meyer. Abbott yielded home runs to George Scott (No. 9) and Carlton Fisk (No. 19). Brewers il-SJndians 2-1 A controversial double in the eighth inning by Larry Hisle decided the opener, and Milwaukee completed its sweep on Cecil Cooper's bases-loaded single in the ninth inning of the nightcap.

With the score tied 2-2 in the opener, Hisle's double appeared to have given the Brewers a 4-2 lead, driving in two runners. But the Indians protested that a fan had touched the ball, and one runner should be sent back to third. After confering for about 20 minutes, the umpires agreed and erased one of Milwaukee's runs. Cooper's single in the ninth inning of the nightcap was the climax of a three-run, two-out rally. Jim Kern (8-8), who was the loser in both games, walked in two runs preceding Cooper's hit.

Reliever Bill Castro (4-4) won the first game, and Willie Mueller won the second game in his first major league appearance with 3 1-3 innings of one-hit relief. Orioles 6, A's 4 (10 innings) Rick Dempsey doubled home two runs in the top of the 10th as the Orioles, who had blown a 4-0 lead, recovered to beat Oakland. Baltimore had jumped in front early on first-inning home runs by Terry Harlow and Ken Singleton and Kiko Garcia's two-run triple in the second. Oakland, however, came back with the help of two RBI by Dell Alston on a single and sacrifice fly, and the A's tied it in the eighth on Joe Wallis' run-scoring single off Stanhouse. Tigers 7, Twins 3 Detroit, the hottest team in baseball since the All-Star break, won its seventh in its last 10 games on Ron LcFIore's RBI single in the sixth and Tim Corcoran's bases- loaded double in the ninth.

LeFlore, who leads the majors in steals with 58, broke the American League record for consecutive stolen bases without being caught, swiping his 27th in a row in the third inning. The old mark was set last year by Mitchell Page of the Oakland A's. Dave Lopes of the Los Angeles Dodgers holds the major league mark of 38, set in 1975. Tigers' right-hander Jim Slaton (13-9) scattered seven hits in his 10th complete game of the season. Blue Jays 3, Rangers 1 Jim Clancy (10-10) yielded just five singles in 8 1-3 innings, and reliever Victor Cruz retired the final two men as Toronto sent the Rangers down to their fourth straight loss.
