Jackson's 41st homer of the season and 410th of his career capped a four-run rally that wiped out a 2-1 Detroit lead eliminated secondplace Orioles, played a twi-night doubleheader against Cleveland. It was the fourth division title in five years for the Yankees, who saw a lead in mid-July dwindle to one-half game by late August. They pulled away again by winning 21 of 28 in September and their first three in October.

The Yankees will begin the best-of-five American League playoffs on Wednesday in Kansas City against the Royals, the team they defeated for the AL pennant in 1976, 1977 and 1978. Bobby Brown started the Yankee fifth with a one-out single. Willie Randolph also singled, with Brown moving to third when center fielder Rick Peters slipped on grass wet from Friday night's Peters aggravated a hamstring pull and had to leave the game. Brown scored the tying run on Bobby Murcer's sacrifice fly, and Oscar Gamble kept the inning alive with a walk. Jackson then walloped a 1-0 pitch from rookie Roger Weaver, 3-4, into upper right field stands, an estimated 75-80 the 353-foot sign.

The blast made winner of Rudy May, 15-5, who scattered six hits in seven innings. He retired the last 10 batters he faced after Jim Lentine's Tigers on top 2-1. It the fourth-inning single puts the eighth consecutive triumph for the 36-year-old ander, the best one-season streak of his career. Rich Gossage allowed two hits over the final two innings his 33rd save. Jackson's 110 RBI matches his 1977 total, his first year with the Yankees.

While with Oakland, he drove in 118 in 1969 and 117 in 1973. He has homered in his last four games. The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the first when Randolph walked, went to third on a single by Murcer and scored as Gamble hit into a double play. Detroit tied it in the third on Peters' single, a balk and Alan Trammell's double. Tom Brookins opened the Tiger fourth with a single, stole second and scored on Lentine's single.

The Yankees have been in first place since May 14, and Saturday marked the 155th of 179 days this season they have spent at the top of the standings. Watch Out For Spinks' Mr. By WILL GRIMSLEY AP Special Correspondent LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) Don't mess with Leon Spinks outside the ring. Mr.

Pitt Stops Terps Cold By GARY MIHOCES Associated Press Writer PITTSBURGH (AP) Dan Marino threw three touchdown passes, including a pair of bombs to freshman Dwight Collins, to spark sixth-ranked Pittsburgh to a 38-9 college football victory over Maryland Saturday.

On the next Maryland series, Pitt linebacker Sal Sunseri intercepted a pass by Mike Tice the Terps' 25- yard line, eat and Marino followed with a 17-yard touchdown pass to split end Willie Collier. Early in the second quarter, Randy McMillan's 2-yard touchdown dive capped Pitt drive of 70 yards and gave the Panthers a 21-0 lead.

Maryland, 3-2, scored midway through the second quarter on a 38-yard field goal by Dale Castro. Pitt's Dave Trout countered with a 40- yard field goal early in the third quarter. Maryland scored its only touchdown late in the third quarter after Pitt freshman Tom Flynn lost a fumble on a punt return at the Panthers' 21-yard line. Three later, Tice threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to he Chris Havener, to cut Pitt's lead to 24-9. With 8:59 left in the final period, Marino arched a 35- yard scoring pass down the sideline to Collins.

AP Sports LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) "If beat him, I beat an old man. If I lose, they'll say I never fought Larry Holmes said in explaining that he was in a no-win situation against Muhammad Ali. Well, Thursday night Holmes stopped him after 10 rounds, foiling the 38-year-old Ali's his bid to become a heavyweight champion for the fourth time. Holmes' critics can say he beat and old man, but in doing so they'll have admit did beat the legendary Ali just like he's beaten everybody else in a 36-bout pro during which, in the its early years, he worked for Ali as a sparring partner, Larry Holmes is the World Boxing Council champion and the No.1 heavyweight in the world, having beaten Mike Weaver, later became World Boxing Association champion.

never ducked nobody, Holmes has said. "I don't see myself hiding from anybody. I'm the people's champion." Since winning the WBC title on Norton a split decision over Ken June 9, 1978, the 30- year-old Holmes made eight title defenses title defenses and he would like to fight the WBA champion to unify the title. But "people's champion" has been a title Holmes has had trouble selling, since even while he was in retirement, Ali kept Holmes in his public shadow. "My goal is to become the kind of champion Ali has been," Holmes once said.

But the very nature of Ali makes that a difficult, if not impossible task. Ali "floated like butterfly and stung like a bee." He turned fighting off the ropes into something special He said he was the prettiest and the baddest. People laughed. But when Holmes said he was the baddest. He was accused of imitating Ali.

However, Holmes claims he has never consciously imitated Ali in the ring or out. And, indeed, outside the ring the two men are worlds apart. Ali is a word traveler, a guest of kings and power brokers, a man who always seems to be on stage. Holmes has stuck with his roots. He was born in Cuthbert, one of 12 children of and Flossie Holmes, but the family moved to Easton, an eastern Pennsylvania city of about 35,000.

Holmes, who has made million of dollars in the ring, still lives there with his wife Diane and their baby daughter Kandy Larie. "I've lived here for 24 Holmes once told a visitor to Easton. know everbody and everbody knows me. I've got to take it slow. The big city's too fast for me." "He's a class guy," said an Easton resident.

"Let's face it. This is one-horse, jerkwater town. But he don't pull rank. That's about it." Holmes' parents were divorced when he was in the seventh grade and he went to work at various jobs. An habitue of St.

Anthony's Youth Center, where he still does preliminary, training, won for 19 of 22 fights. He failed to make the 1972 Olympic team, losing out to Duane Bobick, and in 1973 Holmes, at the time a truck driver, turned pro. Fighting while serving as a sparring partner to Ali and Joe Frazier, Holmes won his first 22 fights from 1973 through 1976, In his last fight in 1976, he won a 10-round decision over tough Roy Williams in which he suffered a right hand injury which forced a nine-month layoff. The Williams fight was on the undercard of Ali's decision victory over Jimmy Young in a title defense. It was one of several times Holmes was a preliminary fighter on an Ali title card.

He knocked out Charley Green they night Ali stopped Chuck Wepner in 1975; he knocked out Ernie Smith the night Ali stopped Ron Lyle in 1975, and he knocked out Rodney Bobick the morning Ali topped Joe Frazier in the "Thrilla in Manilla," also in 1975. Holmes returned from the suffered in the Williams fight to win four 1977 and earned a WBC title shot against Norton by easily outpointed Earnie Shavers in 12 rounds March 25, 1978. His next fight was his title triumph over Norton, a fight that started road to Miami QB Still Up In Air By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer No more musical quarterbacks," Miami Coach Don Shula said a few days ago, once again giving Bob Griese the job of No.1 quarterback. He may be singing a different tune next Sunday. Griese has come off the bench twice the past two weeks to rescue Don Strock and David Woodley and rally the Dolphins to victory over Atlanta and New Orleans.

But can he go the distance against Baltimore? And, more important, can Miami hold Bert Jones in check? We doubt it. Last week's 11-3 mark (7-7 against the spread) put the season record at 36-19 (28-27 vs. the points). Colts 24, Dolphins 20: The Upset Special: Two so-so defenses, so Griese should have a fairly good day but Jones, who has rediscovered his wide receivers, should have great one.

(AP) Larry Michalski fired a 33- yard touchdown pass split Mark Yeager with 17 seconds left in the game Saturday to lead Lehigh to a 27-20 come-from-behind victory over previously unbeaten Delaware. The winning score was set up when tackle Ron Witte recovered a Blue Hen fumble on the Delaware 33-yard line. Lehigh led 13-3 at the half on another Michalski to Yeager touchdown pass play and two field goals by Ted lobst, but the Blue Hens' offense took over in the second half. Delaware, last year's NCAA Division II champion now playing in the 1-AA bracket, tied the game in the third quarter on a 38-yard field goal by K.C. Knobloch, his second three-pointer of the day, and Rick Scully's 26-yard touchdown pass to Jay Hooks.

In the fourth quarter, the Blue Hens converted a Bill Maley pass interception into a score when Scully hit Mark Steimer for three yards. A 19, HIGH HANDED.

In his previous defense, Holmes stopped Scott LeDoux in seven rounds last July 7 with Ali as a spectator. "The way he looked tonight, I would have whupped him, Ali said after the LeDoux fight.
