Finley Friday night. Medich who has a 9-6 record and four consecutive victories was scheduled to pitch in the weekend series against Mil Waukee. Finley apparently took the action be cause of what he considered critical com ments attributed to North and Medich in an interview printed in a Chicago newspaper. Finley lives in Chicago. Medich had been quoted As saying we feel like second class citizens. The whole situation stinks. I for one am getting out after this  Finley said in a Telephone Call from Chi Cago that Medich would be in the bullpen except for an Ocassio Nal Start the rest of the season because i Felt it would be better for the future of the a s to pitch continued on Page 20 sunday september 11,1977 can Odh be on map the stars and stripes Page 19 Rice leads Boston sweep by Bill Madden up sports writer the Boston red sox swept a 5-1, 8-6 doubleheader from the Detroit tigers Friday night for eight victories in their last nine games and gained a half game on the new York Yankees who Lead the american league East by three games. Most responsible for the double victories was designated hitter Jim Rice who belted his 36th and 37th homers in the opener then put the red sox ahead for Good in the Al Roundup Nightcap with his 100th rib a fifth inning sacrifice Fly. This Man has knocked in 100 runs Al ready and he s going to have More than 40 homers. Any Man who can do those things and help put a club in Contention certainly deserves to be in the top five for the most valuable player voting said red so manager Don Zimmer. Rice who is batting .322, needs 18 More hits to become the first red sox player since Johnny Pesky in 1947 to achieve 200in a season. For a designated hitter to win it that would be something new would t it Zimmer added. Nobody i know of eve won the map for just doing the Job on of sense.
