Lance Parrish and Tom Brookens, the two most productive hitters in the lineup lately, belted homers in a five-run second inning. Lou Whitaker hit another one that went down in the books as a triple and got manager Sparky Anderson ejected for calling umpire Mark Johnson a nasty name the manager's first disqualification of the season. The dispute didn't matter.

Actually, it allowed Anderson to retreat to the cool clubhouse and escape the stifling heat of the Metrodome's arena. And Whitaker got revenge in the eighth inning, by hammering one so far it couldn't be mistaken for anything but a four-base blow. Morris, meanwhile, shrugged off a shaky first inning and mowed down his favorite opponents, allowing three hits in the final seven innings he pitched. HE WAS HEADED for his complete game of the year, which would have tied him the league but he suffered'a pulled groin as he began the ninth and had to leave the contest. Still, he got his 1 1th win (against nine losses) to tie for the league lead in that category.

"Jack was getting under the ball (in his delivery) a little bit in the first inning," noted pitching coach Roger Craig, "but after that he got back on top of the ball again. I'd say he was about 90 percent right tonight. "I think he's back to the old Jack Morris again After all, this is about as tough a night as he could have to pitch, See TIGERS WIN, Page 6C Gibson sent to Mayo; Wilson rejoins team MINNEAPOLIS The Tigers placed injured outfielder Kirk Gibson on the 15-day disabled list Friday and recalled rookie Glenn Wilson from the Evansville Triplets. Manager Sparky Anderson said he intends to use Wilson in right field while Gibson is sidelined. "I wouldn't bring that young kid up here to sit," Anderson said.

"I'll play him in right. I'm going to leave Chet (Lemon) in center, where he's been since Gibby has been hurt. It seems like when Chet plays center, he swings the bat a little better, so maybe that'll help him." Gibson sprained his left wrist July 3 and has not played since, except for a pinch-running appearance in Chicago July 8. Anderson had intended to start Gibson here Thursday night after he took batting practice for the first time since Bo Schembechler lays out unwelcome mat for USFL "Bo Schembechler is threatening to treat some pro football scouts the same way he treats sports reporters: He says he'll ban them from the practice field. For years, Schembechler has allowed professional football scouts to stand along the sidelines to observe the speed and toughness of potential professionals "a lot of (scouts)" according to Butch Woolfolk, a star senior running back last fall who became the first-round draft pick of the New York Giants.

"Bo didn't let them talk to us, just watch." "Apparently that policy is about to change, at least for" scouts from the new United States Football which plans to begin its first season next March in Detroit and 11 other cities. "Schembechler said earlier this week that he will not allow the USFL "on our campus" if it goes ahead with its planned college draft this December. Schembechler feels a December draft and a spring schedule will prevent senior players from graduating on time, in April, with the rest of their classes. "We will not allow them to view our films and they will not be welcome at our workouts," Schembechler told a sportscasters luncheon in Detroit this Spivak wonders about favoritism This surprised Peter Spivak, the former Wayne County circuit judge who owns part of the Detroit franchise and frequently acts as a league spokesman. Spivak says he wishes Schembechler would have called USFL officials before going public with his criticism.

"I don't understand what he's talking about," Spivak said. "He never talked to anybody. Look, you and I both know in many schools there are guys who don't graduate and go into the NFL the next year." Spivak wondered aloud if Schembechler's new poli Sparky Anderson retreats to the tunnel behind his dugout after being ejected Friday night. cy would be favoring the established NFL business over the new USFL business. lN4 Clampett cruises to 5 -shot lead "If Michigan, as a state-owned, taxpayer-supported wishes to express a preference, I suppose that's Bo's policy," Spivak said.
