Thursday, Sept. 19, 1974 Kali sue mowes within 4 3,000 hits Baseball standings Fast Rico Petrocelli at third base, made a couple of gems afield and then unloaded a two-run homer, his fifth, into the Boston bullpen in right center in the sixth. Juan Marichal, making only his ninth start of the year because of various ailments, allowed seven hits and three runs before being bailed out by Cleveland in the third. Cleveland, 11-13, blanked the Tigers until an infield hit and Kaline's 399th homer provided Detroit two runs in the ninth.

"Kaline just owns me," Cleveland said after serving up a gopher pitch to the Detroit veteran for the fourth time this season. "I can't get him out. Maybe I've made some good pilches to him, but I know of at least four bad ones I've thrown." The Red Sox send 20-game winner Luis Tiant to the mound tonight in an attempt to take the rubber of the three-game The Yankees, with an 80-69 won-lost record and a .537 percentage, are a half game ahead of the Orioles, who are 80-70, .533. The Red Sox are 2' games off the pace with a 77-71, .517 record. The Red Sox, who had lost 17 of 23 previous starts, regained some of the lost ground as the rookies came through in fine fashion.

Fred Lynn, a 22-ycar-old centerfielder called up from Pawtucket at the end of the International League season, drilled four hits a triple, double and two singles and drove in three runs while scoring once himself. Rick Burleson, who won the starting shortstop job earlier in the year after being called up from Pawtucket, had three hits, scored one run and drove in another. Jim Rice, another late arrival from Pawtucket, had a pair of singles, the first igniting a decisive two-run fourth inning. Old pro Dick McAuliffe, filling for But despite the 14-hit. Tiger attack and Kaline's good fortune, the Ked Sox found plenty to smile about.

They Won, after all. And, led by rookies, they had broken out of a prolonged slump. Then the Ked Sox smiles turned to grins when they learned the Baltimore Orioles had whipped the New York Yankees, 4-0, leaving Boston just 2V2 games behind New York in the American League Fast. "Every little bit helps," said manager Darrell Johnson. "We want things to tighten up.

Then we'll go head to head against Baltimore and New York in our next two series." "Hear that that's good news," right-hander Reggie Cleveland said to teammates as he soaked his arm in ice after earning a well-deserved victory in relief against the Tigers. "That helps. We're still in this thing." The "thing" is the American League East race, headed for the wire. BOSTON (AP) The Detroit Tigers banged out 14 hits Wednesday, but it was three by Al Kaline that sparked most of the attention of the 12,213 funs at Fenway Park. Kaline's three hits, including a ninth-inning homer, in Detroit's 8-5 defeat at the hands of the Red Sox, moved the American League veteran to within four of his goal of 3,000.

Kaline's other hits were a single in the third inning and a double in the seventh. The circuit clout in the ninth was his 13th of the season. The 39-year-old veteran, ho has been cheered lustily in every American League city this season, has 13 more games- in which to become only the 12th man in major league history to collect 3.000 hits. And the Boston fans, among the most savvy baseball fans in the entire country, were cheering him on as though he were a Beantowner. jet tew Pet.
