9-5; SUN. 12-5 Minneapolis Tribune July 22, 1979 Twins Continued from page 1C complete-game victory and Mauch's admiration. "He didn't let those funny little things bother him," said Mauch, referring to the Twins' lapses of concentration. Those lapses had begun In the first game, but, led by Danny Goodwin, the Twins outhit their mistakes. Goodwin, exiled to Ogden, Utah, after a disappointing spring, got his first hit in a Minnesota uniform and it was a significant one.

Goodwin's second-inning triple drove in two runs to tie the game at 3-3. He then scored on Mike Cubbage's sacrifice fly. The Twins went on to win 6-4 when Hosken Powell broke a 4-4 tie in the sixth inning with a single and Butch ynegar drove home the final run with a sacrifice fly. Goodwin's triple marked the completion of a strange odyssey that began tn California and continued with stops in Orlando, Ogden, and, finally, Minnesota. the Twins thought they were getting $ome badly needed left-handed power when they traded Danny Ford to California last winter for Goodwin and Ron Jackson.

But they soured on Goodwin when he reported to spring gaining seemingly overweight and ut of shape. the Twins sent Goodwin to Og-4en neither they nor he expected Dim to wear a Minnesota uniform again. Although the Twins technically still owned Goodwin's services, Odgen is an Oakland franchise and $ie only way the Twins would be able to get Goodwin back would be 8y exposing him to a draft by an ther big league team. But when Goodwin devastated the Pacific Coast League, hitting 20 home iuns and 94 RBIs in half a sea-ion, the Twins prevailed upon the est of the major leagues to lay off Goodwin and summoned him from fctah. the payoff was not quite Immediate.

C-oodwln, batting in the fifth position Friday night, struck out In his first, wo at-bats and was then lifted for a finch hitter. yesterday, he was dropped to the ninth position the first time he'd (ver batted last, he said and when Phil Huffman threw him a fast ball fin his first at-bat, he responded with a shot that hit the fence In center field on the fly. I think I was just a little overanxious Friday," Goodwin said. "I wasn't taking a good look at the ditchers I was facing." Mauch insisted there was no psychology Involved In dropping Goodwin lour spots In the line-up. "I took a (pok at the line-up and didn't see where else I was going to put him," be said.

Unaccustomed as he was to batting ninth, Goodwin saw the bright side. KING'S COVE WANTS TO lk CLEAR THE DOCKS OVER 150 NEW AND USED H0USEBUAT3, CRUISERS, RUNABOUTS SPECIALLY PRICED.

Bill Skowron and Lee Walls drove In runs in a two-Inning 1-1 tie that highlighted the New York Yankees 33rd annual Old Timers festivities before Saturday's Oakland-Yankee game. In the first Inning, Dick Howser doubled off Whltey, Ford for the visiting team composed of former Yankee opponents, and Walls singled him home. Phil Rizzuto was walked by Jim (MudcaU Grant to start the home first Inning. After Billy Martin and Mickey Mantle popped out, Roger Maris singled to center, moving Rizzuto to second and Skowron's hit scored Rizzuto.

Among the other former stars appearing In the game were pitchers Kddie Loput, Tommy Byrne, Bob Friend, Johnny Vandermeer, Ralph Terry, Bob Turley, Luis Arroyo, Sal Maglie and Robin Roberts, and butters Bobby Thomson, Dale Long, Tommy Henrlch, Enos Slaughter and Oakland Manager Jim Marshall.

OUR NEWEST SHOP NOW OPEN IN APPLE VALLEY KENNEDY'S AUTOMATIC Bombo Rivera "Bobby Randall told me better to hit ninth in big leagues than fourth In the minor leagues," he said. "I'm pretty easy-going. I just wanted to play." After spring training, that was a chance that the Twins didn't figure to give Goodwin.

"1 figured I'd be back In the big leagues this year," he said, "but I didn't think I'd be back with the Twins." Goodwin's problems began with an ankle injury before the Twins opened camp. Goodwin, afraid of being labeled damaged merchandise, kept the injury quiet, thinking he could play it back Into shape. "He had injured his ankle at home and he sat around for 13 or 14 days and got completely out of shape," said Mauch. "And he was completely out of shape." "Actually," said Goodwin, "I weighed about the same in spring training as I did last year about 207 (compared to 195 now). I think I only had about 20 at-bats in spring training and you can't judge anything from that." While Goodwin's triple yesterday didn't provide the Twins with all the runs they needed, it should have.

The Blue Jays got a couple of especially strange runs In the the second inning. With Otto Velez on third, Al Woods grounded to third baseman Mike Cubbage. Cubbage bobbled the ball, then looked to see if he could trap Velez off third, then threw wild to first. Velez thus scored nnd Woods took second. After Rick Cerone's single moved Woods to third, Dan Ainge missed on a suicide squeeze attempt.

No matter. Wynegar, oblivious to the fact that Woods was trapped off third, instead threw out Cerone trying to steal second. Woods' run fave Toronto a 3-1 lead. The Blue Jays tied the game at 4-4 with another weird run In the fifth when Rico Carty, probably the slowest man In baseball since Tony Ollva, grounded to second baseman Wllfong. Wilfong made a diving stop, which left htm enough time to mall the ball to first.

But his hurried throw pulled Ron Jackson off the bag and Roy Lowell was able to score from second. But the Twins didn't give the Blue Jays any more help after that and Dave Goltz lasted seven Innings to win his fourth straight game. Mike knew that Billy was better off not knowing what George wanted, that telling Billy could only create more problems." But now the "one-on-one" relationship between Steinbrenner and Martin has no buffer, no cool head to mediate the hot heads. Equally Important, there Is no baseball man between them. Rosen understood baseball from his history ps a one-time slugging third baseman with Cleveland and the winner of the American League Most Valuable Player Award In 1953.

He knew how players thought, how managers thought. And with his background In the stock market and the hotel business, he also knew how Steinbrenner the tycoon thought. Paul understood base-bull as a career general manager who has coped with club owners and managers for more than three decades In the Yankees' front office, George Slsler who Is expected to be promoted from the Columbus farm team as Rosen's replacement, and Cedric Tallis, vice president and gen eral manager, will be between Steinbrenner and Martin. But before Martin returned last month, the manager apparently negotiated his "one-on-one" relationship with the principal owner. That means Martin now outranks anyone In the front office, Rosen would not tolerate that demotion.

And after guiding the Yankees to a World Series championship in his only full season in a major league front office, he deserved better treatment. Rosen made some marvelous moves. He needed Stelnbrenner's approval, but, if those moves had backfired, Rosen would have been blamed. Since they worked out, he deserves the credit. His best move, of course, was hiring Bob Lemon as Martin's successor about a year ugo.

The Yankees responded with their comeback from H'j games behind the Red Sox. On the advice of his scouts, Rosen made several trades for young players that look better every day. He obtained rookie relief pitcher Ron Da Marshall, rusty from five days of Inactivity, finished up for his 19th save. The problems continued in the second game and the moment that left Mauch shaking his head the hardest came when John Mayberry figured to be a casualty on a missed hit-and-run play. Mayberry was so dead that he stopped running about 15 feet in front of second base.

The only problem was that there was no one at second to take catcher Glenn Borg-mann's throw. "I can't wait until tomorrow," Mauch said, "to see if our guys have any tricks In their bag that they didn't use today."

Stan Smith defeated Tim Gullikson 6-3, 6-2 In the finals of a $30,000 challenge tennis tournament Saturday at Sea Pines Plantation. Smith's performance earned him $10,000. vis from the Chicago Cubs for Ken Holtzman; he obtained Bobby Brown, a young outfielder, and Jay -Johnstone, since departed, from the Philadelphia Phillies for Rawly Eastwick; he obtained Brad Gulden, perhaps the Yankees' next catcher, from the Los Angeles Dodgers for Gary Thomasson, who had been acquired from the Oakland A's In an exchange for Mickey Klutts and Dell Alston. Rosen has to take the rap for trading Dick Tldrow to the Cubs this season for Ray Burris, but Steinbrenner had demanded Tidrow's exile, just as the principal owner choreographed Martin's return and Lemon's departure. Say this for Rosen he left with dignity.

Not a word about Stelnbrenner's tyrannical reign. Not a word about Martin's power play. But early lust year, Paul also departed with dignity. It was not until Paul tried to sell his Yankee stock that the sniping started. Typically, all of the Yankee players avoided comment on Rosen's departureall except Peggie Jackson, who seems to be trying to talk his way Into being traded after the season In order to escape from Martin.

When the Yankees slugger first heard that Rosen's resignation was imminent, he commented, "The lucky stiff meaning Rosen was lucky to be leaving the Yankee organisation. hen the resignation was official Thursday, Jackson said, "It's not easy 'o work here," meaning It's nut easy work for Steinbrenner, as two dozen Yankee front office people have learned in the principal owner's regime that is now in Its seventh season. The leslme Is a tribute to Sleinbi-enner's obsession to win two World Series championships, three American League pennants. But the litany of those ex-Yankee front office people Is that Steinbrenner is a demanding man. Now that Martin Is "one-on-one" with the principal owner, the manager will discover that more and more.

Al Rosen's departure from the Yankees means that Billy Martin now possesses the power he has always coveted virtual command as general manager as well as dugout manager. Martin has to answer only to George Steinbrenner, the principal owner. But will Martin use that power wisely or abuse it self-destructlvely? The lesson Is there for Martin to learn. Steinbrenner runs the Yankees nobody else. Rosen did not run the Yankees and neither did Gabe Paul, his predecessor as president.

And if Martin starts thinking that he is running the Yankees, especially if they don't climb into contention in the American League East, that's when Steinbrenner will let Martin know that he's no longer needed. Now In his second term as mnnager, Martin has said that his relationship with Steinbrenner is "super" because it's "one-on-one, nobody in between." Maybe Martin has learned how to handle that relatloaship and maybe not. Earlier in his managerial career with the Texas Rangers. Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins Martin always wanted to supersede the general manager's role. But in a showdown, the general manager had the last say.

And rather than surrender it, he discharged Martin for challenging It. The same fate Is expected If Martin threatens Stelnbrenner's authority. In rehiring Martin as manager Inst Stelnbienner called him "more But his first on the job, the manager snapped. "I'm the same Billy Martin." If he is the same, a series of storms with Steinbrenner is inevitable now that Rosen is no longer there to Intercede, as Paul had interceded earlier. "Sometimes when George used to order me to tell Billy something, I ignored the order," said Paul, now the Cleveland Indians' president.
