C-7 The Orlando Sentinel, Saturday, March 12, 1988 i II I c- Mauch steps down as Angels manager SPRING TRAINING A daily cioseup COMPILED FROM WIRE REPORTS players during a brief team meeting. Afterward, Mauch told reporters: "Since last August I haven't really felt the way I think I should." Some of those closest to Mauch mentioned that he had been reluctant to have physical examinations in recent years and hasn't had one for some time. A heavy smoker, Mauch often has been plagued by a cough. "Gene may be back in one or two weeks, if even that long," Port said. "We're dealing with this as an interim situation until such time as we have reason to believe gels' spring-training complex, Mauch said he would "undergo immediate testing" but did not indicate if he planned to enter a hospital.

"I'm going to find out if this is how you're supposed to feel when you're 62," said Mauch, who has managed in the majors for 26 years. "I'm going to get after it and take care of it. Without question, this was a difficult decision." Mauch met with Angels General Manager Mike Port early Friday morning and later informed his coaching staff he was taking a leave of absence, then spoke to the so- Xfo OdandoX MESA, Ariz. Gene Mauch abruptly stepped down Friday as manager of the California Angels "for health reasons of an unspecified nature," and scout Cookie Ro-jas assumed the job on an interim basis, the team announced. A news release advised, "Mauch is leaving the club temporarily" and said he would return immediately to his home in Palm Springs, for further diagnosis.

"I'm pretty confident there will be a spot for me," said Eisenreich, 28, who batted .238 in 44 games last season in Kansas City.

"Of course, if I don't start hitting, there may not be." Eisenreich, a left-handed batter, is expected to platoon with red-hot slugger Steve Balboni at designated hitter, swinging primarily against right-handers. He would love to play some outfield, but a nagging elbow injury has turned his rifle arm into a cap pistol. "Unfortunately, I don't have the last word," Eisenreich said. "I'll just do whatever I can. If they want me to play a lot, that would be great." Eisenreich, one of the most promising young outfielders in the Twins' organization before his three-year setback, thinks his best playing days are still ahead of him.

"I sure hope people haven't seen the best of me," he said. "I'd like to think they've seen the worst. I think there's a lot of good things to come in the future." NOTES: Commissioner Peter Ueberroth was a special guest Friday night at Baseball City Stadium. Ueberroth is making his annual spring swing through Florida to watch some of the Grapefruit League action Not only was Friday night's attendance a record for Baseball City, it also was a spring-training record for the Royals. It bettered the team's previous mark of 5,505, set March 22, 1983, in Fort Myers against Montreal.

Royals (ss) 5, Red Sox 2 KANSAS CITY BOSTON abrhbl HAINES CITY There was a time when Jim Eisenreich had too many physical problems to play major-league baseball. Now he has another problem: He feels too good. With his physical ailments behind him, Eisenreich, designated hitter for the Kansas City Royals, came to spring training with more confidence than ever. Because he is so confident, he is very relaxed. Because he is so relaxed, he isn't concentrating at the plate.

Because he isn't concentrating, he isn't hitting. Eisenreich, who earns his living at the plate, has only four hits in 18 at-bats a .222 average. A .263 lifetime hitter in the majors and .328 minor-league hitter, he is scratching his head in wonderment. "I think I might be too relaxed," said Eisenreich, who went l-for-4 with an RBI Friday night in the Royals' 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox before a record crowd of 5,659 at Baseball City Stadium. "I think I've got to bear down more." That should be no problem for Eisenreich, who had to bear down plenty in recent years to get where he is today.

Stricken by Tourette's Syndrome, a nervous disorder that caused him to hyperventilate, he had to work his way back up to the majors after voluntarily retiring from the Minnesota Twins in 1984.

PB DUNEDIN For a teen-ager, Toronto shortstop Jimy Kelly carries himself like a big-leaguer. But then at the ripe old age of 17 he has been around awhile. The youngest player on a spring-training roster, Kelly has been a pro since he was 13. Signed by the Blue Jays in 1984 out of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Kelly started Friday and ripped a double in the Blue Jays' 9-1 victory over Minnesota.

Kelly has been getting a chance to play while All-Star shortstop Tony Fernandez mends from elbow surgery performed last September. Fernandez has yet to play this spring. Toronto Manager Jimy Williams said Fernandez may serve as a designated hitter this weekend, but still can't fully extend his arm. The Blue Jays thought enough of Kelly to protect him on their 40-man roster unheard of for a 17-year-old. Kelly is another find from the Blue Jays' fountain of youth in the Dominican Republic.

Nine players on Toronto's current roster are from there, including George Bell. Kelly was signed by scout Epy Guerrero, but it was actually Kelly's father, Juan, who first tipped off Toronto. Toronto General Manager Pat Gillick became acquainted with Kelly's father, an airport baggage handler, on frequent trips to the Dominican. "He was a guy who'd tell me his 5-year-old kid was going to be a Twin or a Blue Jay some day," Gillick said. "But the kid became a player.

His dad said he was going to quit school and sign, so we signed him before somebody else did. Now the rule says you have to be 17 to sign." At 14, Kelly made his pro de- BRADENTON The catcher in Houston is Alan Ashby, but one is not enough. The Astros are desperate for somebody in the backup job. Candidates Marc Sullivan, Mark Bailey, Robbie Wine, Craig Biggio, Dan Walters and Troy Afenir aren't catching on. "It's something I've worried about since I came to camp," Manager Hal Lanier said.

Friday's 2-1 Grapefruit League loss to Pittsburgh before 1,475 fans at McKechne Field did little to enhance anybody's chances. With Lanier taking a hard look at the six contenders, Ash-by, 36, who set career highs for average runs (53), hits (111), home runs (14) and RBIs (63) a year ago, has been limited to two of eight spring games. So far Lanier has been unimpressed. Poor hitting, no hitting, injuries and illness have prevented anyone from grabbing an edge. Batting a collective .111 (3-for-27) with no extra-base hits or RBIs and nine strikeouts, the contenders are their own worst enemies.

They have thrown out two of 14 base stealers. "I'd hoped someone would step forward and make my decision easier," Lanier said. "So far, they haven't." Sullivan, Bailey and Wine the projected front-runners have had problems. An elbow injury has restricted Sullivan to one at-bat. Flu has knocked Bailey out of the lineup.

Six consecutive strikeouts have left Wine bewildered. Craig Biggio, 22, a No. 1 draft choice in 1987, has been getting noticed, though. He hit .375 with nine homers Rnley, J.Johnson (5) DiMichele (8), Har-vey (9 and Boone. Wynegar (6); Wegman, Care (3, Madrid (5).
