14. upset Jill Sterkel and Tracy Caulking won her third title in three nights Friday night to highlight action in the U.S. Short Course swimming championships. Torres, a high school freshman from Beverly Hills, won her first national championship by upsetting Sterkel, the American record-holder, in the women's 50-yard freestyle in 22.44. by two lOOths of a second.

"I can't believe I beat her." Torres said. "I wanted to show everyone I had guts. I didn't really know if I touched her out and I don't even remember the last 25 yards." Sterkel said it is swimmers like the youthful Torres "that are going to make U.S. swimming better" in the future. "And maybe it makes a champion better getting beat," she said.

Caulkins. 19, lifted her record career total to 38 national championships in the 200-individual medley. The University of Florida freshman won the women's 200-yard backstroke on opening night Wednesday to equal Johnny Weissmuller's career winning record, then took the 400-yard individual medley Thursday. Jeff Kostoff, 16, swimming for the Industry Hills Acquatic Club, won his second title of the championships, coming from behind in the final 75 yards of the men's 500-yard freestyle to defeat Auburn's Rowdy Gaines. Kostoff, who won the men's freestyle championship Wednesday night, said he had an advantage over Gaines in the 500 because it was a longer race than Gaines is used to swimming.

Gaines won the 100- and 200-yard freestyle events earlier in the championships. In the women's 500-yard freestyle. Mission Viejo's Tiffany Cohen won her second national title of the meet, edging teammates Mary Linzmeier and Cynthia Wood-head. no tun cel iimuf- CALL 213370-6383 YOU DE THE JUDBE if Jilt Sterkel Otis Ruins Tigers' Strategy With a Grand Slam, 4-2 THE APPLE COMPATIBLE ALTERNATIVE FnnmiLiti STUDENT SYSTEMS Morris, making his third opening game start, gave up singles to Tom Poquette and John Wathan to start the bottom of the first Both runners advanced on George Brett's deep drive to center. Then, Anderson made the big decision.

Morris settled down after the home run, holding the Royals scoreless the rest of the way. The walk to Aik- out 18 hits, including two, two-run doubles by Cecil Cooper and a two-run home run by Ben Oglivie. The Brewers sent 11 batters to the plate in a six-run first inning and 11 more in a seven-run sixth inning. Pete Vuckovich gave up all four runs and seven hits, including a two-run home run by Ernie Whitt in the fourth, in his six innings. Three relievers each pitched a scoreless inning to wrap it up.

Oakland 5, Seattle 3 Gaylord Perry, still three victories short of 300 lifetime victories, made three wild pitches in the fifth inning to help the A's score all their runs. Perry, and Steve McCatty were in a scoreless battle until the fifth. Dave McKay struck out to open the inning, but was safe on first when catcher Jim Essian couldn't handle a wild third strike. Jim Spencer walked and Jeff Newman doubled in one run. After a walk, Perry made two more wild pitches.

-DAN HAFNER One of these days, managers are going to learn not to walk anybody intentionally to bring up Amos Otis. It makes the Kansas City veteran angry. Sparky Anderson ordered a walk to Willie Aikens to fill the bases in the first inning Friday night at Kansas City, and Otis promptly unloaded them with a home run to give the Royals a 4-2 victory over Anderson's Detroit Tigers. "I saw it coming." Otis said. "Sparky likes to do things like that.

I've been in the league 13 years and it makes you kind of mad. But next time it might work out for him." The four-run blast gave Larry Gura all the working margin he needed. Gura gave up six hits in going the route in the Royals' home opener in 45-degree weather. Anderson was not apologetic. "I walked out to the mound, and said, 'We're going to walk Aikens and get a double-play ball on Otis'," he said.

"I've done it a thousand times and I'll keep on doing it." Otis hit a 1-1 pitch from loser Jack Morris deep into the left-field bullpen. It was the second grand slam of his career. Gura had the Tigers shut out until the seventh when Lance Parrish singled in one run and another scored on an infield out. American League ens was the only one he allowed and he struck out five. Kansas City Manager Dick Howser was in sympathy with Anderson.

"You're going to get burned occasionally," he said, "but that's still the percentage play. I'm just glad Amos responded the way he did." Shortstop Alan Trammell, who needed 40 stitches in his forehead following an altercation with teammate Dave Rozema in a Kansas City bar Thursday night, played for the Tigers and had a hit and drove in a run.

The Angels' four pitchers tied a club record by issuing 12 walks in the Oakland finale but relievers Andy Hauler, Steve Aue and Luis Sanchez allowed only one run over a 12 -inning span and only three over the final 13 The most impressive pitching was done by A's reliever Tom Underwood who struck out nine and allowed one hit in 6V4 innings The Angels got 13 hits, but it was a particularly long game for Jackson (0 for 7) and Don Baylor (0 for 6) By winning two of three from the A's, the Angels equaled last year's win total vs.

Continued from First Page said, "then he speeded the bat up for him with a hanging curve." Nevertheless, Moreno pitched well enough to win, as starter Ken Forsch did during the 3-2 opening night loss in Oakland, and Mauch bemoaned the fact that his team is only 2-2. "We've lost two games with superb pitching," he said, "and you just can't get them back. We'll make up for it by scoring a lot of runs for those guys but it's a damn shame to waste that kind of pitching when they give it to you." The Angels might not have wasted it except for two outstanding plays by Minnesota shortstop Roy Smalley, who is Mauch's nephew, or as Mauch said, "Tonight he was my sister's son." With one out and runners at first and second in the second, Smalley ranged far behind second to take a potential single away from Joe Ferguson. And in the fourth, with a runner at second and two outs, he again went behind second to take a hit away from Tim Foli.

The Angels scored only in the second on a double by Doug DeCinces and bloop single by Foli. DeCinces, whose two home runs helped the Angels prevail in the Thursday night game that ended Friday morning, doubled again in the fourth and walked in the sixth. When Mauch was asked if his players were tired, he shot back, "Not some of them. Not DeCinces." But some of them said they were. Reggie Jackson, who struck out twice in a hitless four at bats, is now 1 for 15 since getting three hits opening night.

And Don Baylor, who bats behind Jackson in the heart of the Angels' lineup, is 0 for the season, which has seen him bat 19 times. Jackson said he was virtually sleepwalking Friday night. "It was one of those games," he said, "that pass you by before you know what's happened. I mean before you know it, you turn around and say, 'did I even Because of last year's strike, the game marked Mauch's return to Minnesota, where he managed for almost five years. He said there wasn't any nostalgia because "It didn't even seem like the same place." The $55 million Metrodome drew praise from the Angels, and Mauch said, "It seems more like a baseball park than any of the other domed stadiums.

I'll like it a lot better, though, when we're the team hitting the blue seats."
