Likes Boston Park Boston a the new York Yan Kees Are miffed at the rescheduling of tuesday s rained out game with the Boston red sox As a night game wednes Day. We wanted to play a Day game Yankee president Gabe Paul said after being informed of the rescheduling. We went on the record both verbally and in red sox officials Felt there was a better Chance of playing the game at night in View of the predicted weather for the Boston area on wednesday. The forecast was for rain to continue through tuesday night ending during the Day wednesday. The Yankees however noted that wednesday night is the Start of yom kippur one of the jewish High holy Days. Pitcher Ken Holtzman will observe the hol , however has seen Little action this season and was unlikely to be used against Boston. In the event the game was not played wednesday it May have to be held Over until after the conclusion of the regular season. While the Yankees Are not scheduled on thursday the red sox will open a four game series in Detroit thursday night. There is no Mutual open Day next week. Crew chief Nestor Chylak the american league s senior Umpire refused to be drawn into the controversy Over the re scheduled game time. We have nothing to do with that he said. The game marking the regular season series Windup Between the two clubs was postponed about 3va hours before the scheduled Start after the Field was inspected by Dick Butler the american league supervisor of umpires and Chylak. Managers Billy Martin of the Yankees and Don Zimmer of the red sox planned to carry Over their scheduled pitchers Mike Torrez 16-12, for new York and Luis Tiant 11-8, for Boston. The red sox Are 3 vis games behind the Yankees in the Al East race while the Baltimore orioles Are three games Back of the Yankees. Kingman Calls Fenway the greatest by Aveo Hara Boston a slugger Dave King Man took one look at Fenway Park s famed Green monster the 37-foot left Field Wall and was disappointed to learn he was not in the starting line up. However the new York Yankees newest Strong boy got a Chance to show what he thought later monday night when he golfer a towering shot off a Light Tower above a High screen atop the Wall for a Pinch Homer. Despite Kingman s blast the Boston red sox went on to a 6-3 Victory moving to within 3 la games of the Yankees in the american league , who played for the new York mets san Diego padres and Californi Angels before being picked up by the Yan Kees last thursday looked Forward to an other shot at the Wall tuesday night. However he had to wait As heavy rain postponed the 1977 season finale Between the Yankees and the red sox until wednes Day had seen Fenway Park Many times on television and had heard stories about the left Field Wall Kingman said. I knew the Wall was close but it was More than i expected. It s something Kingman playing out his option to become a free agent next month Felt he would be right at Home at chummy Fenway but emphasized that his future services will be available to the highest the wind blowing out Wangley Field in Chicago is a Home run hitter s dream but Fenway is by far the easiest to hit in he said. I mean for base hits not just homers. You can just tap the Ball and get a hit after taking batting practice in his first visit to Fenway Kingman was disappointed when he Learned that new York manager Billy Martin did t have him in the starting lineup. I kind of thought they got me for this series in Boston he said. I was a Little disappointed but i m not criticizing Martin. He has 25 Guys who got him this s got his reasons. I m not sure what they Are but i m not second guessing Mickey Rivers hobbled Martin started Paul Blair in Centerfield explain ing i believe in pitching and defense. Blair is one of the Best Cente fielders in baseball. I m not going to take him out for a Home run hitter Martin said. Kingman has appeared in four games for the Yankees. In 10 times at Bat he has three homers and a double scored three runs and driven in five. He also has struck out five times. Texas Christian at Southern California this mismatch pits the team with the nation s longest losing Streak thu 13 against the team with the nation s longest winning Streak us 13. Those numbers Are unlucky for thu. Southern Cal 56 0. Maryland at Penn state Joe Paterno in t ready to go overboard yet on his Penn state team.

Navy at Michigan Navy actually led last year s game 14-12 in the second period. Final score was Michigan 70-14. However Michigan s to Schembechler says there won t be Many four and five touchdown Routs in College football because of the 30 95 player limits. How about Michigan 95 30? seriously. Michigan 38-7. Alabama at Vanderbilt this is a logical spot for the upset special. Alabama was up for Nebraska even though it lost and will be looking ahead to Georgia. Vander bilt almost beat Oklahoma two weeks ago and came up Flat against Wake Forest even though it won. Only thing is Bama has won the last seven from Vandy by a combined score of 272-63. Alabama 28 14. Notre Dame at Purdue this too is a logical upset special except that notre Dame was already upset by Mississippi last week. On the Assumption that the Irish will finally uncover some offence. Notre Dame 23-8. Baylor at Nebraska another upset possibility. Nebraska is coming off an Ala Bama High but Baylor might be looking ahead to Houston. Nebraska 20-13. Washington state at Kansas who la be looking ahead More Washington state to Southern Cal or Kansas to Oklahoma Washington state it says Here and that Means. Kansas 27-21.
