Bad Blood
Erupts at
Pittsburgh
By JOHN CARROLL
Pittsburgh (UPI) It ap
peared almost certain today
that nothing short of official
league action would cool off a
sizzling "duster" duel be
tween the Pittsburgh Pirates
and pace-setting San Francis
co Giants.
The latest bad-blood inci
dent between the two clubs
occurred Sunday at Forbes
Field where the Giants swept
a double-header from the Pir
ates, 5-2 and 6-1.
This double win, coupled
with Milwaukee's split with
Chicago, lifted the Giants to
2Vz games ahead of the second-place
Braves.
The thing that sent the sea
son's biggest home crowd of
35,797 into near frenzy was
a blow-up in the fifth inning
of the opener when Pirate
manager Danny Murtaugh
and Giant pitcher Ruben Go
mez squared' off in a bat
wielding, fist-swinging melee.
It started after Gomez, who
notched his fifth win of the
season and long has been ac
cused by other players in the
league of throwing dusters,
hit Pirate second baseman
Bill Mazeroski in the left arm
during the fourth inning.
Mazeroski had lifted his
arm to protect his head.
When Gomez came to bat
an inning later wearing only
a regulation cap, plate umpire
Frank Dascoli ordered him
back to the bench to get a
protective helmet.
Gomez Sent Sprawling
Then Vernon Law, who was
struck on the head by one of
Gomez's pitches last fall, fired
a fast ball high and on the in
side that sent the . batter
sprawling.
Dascoli went to the mound
to warn Law . and Murtaugh
charged from the Pirate dug
out to intercede for his pitch
er. On the way, he shouted a
remark to Gomez, who in
turn allegedly made an "un
complimentary gesture" in
Murtaugh's direction.
The Pirate manager turned
on his heels and raced toward
Gomez with fists clenched as
Giant coach Herman Franks
and Pirate catcher Danny
Kravitz tried to restrain him.
Murtaugh threw one punch,
but missed and Gomez swung
his bat twice but wasn't in
range.
Meanwhile, players poured
off both benches and converge
ed at home plate, in one push
ing, tugging and swinging
mass. Not a blow connected.
Gomez was disarmed of his
bat by an unidentified Giant,
but his roomate and close
friend first baseman Orlan
do Cepeda ran toward the
Giant batrack to obtain an
other. Cepeda was brought down
by Willie Mays' flying tackle
and the ruhubarb was quelled
after Murtaugh was thumbed
out of the game.
Murtaugh explained later
that he "saw red" when Go
mez gestured at him.
"I just went after the guy,"
the usually quiet but trigger
tempered Irishman said. "I'm
surprised to hear he swung
his bat at me. At the time I
was so hot, I didn't notice it."
Giant manager Bill Rigney
said he was "spinning like a
top" when caught in the mass
of players swirling around
home plate.
Rigney had no immediate
comment but did say that
Curt Raydon, who pitched the
nightcap Sunday, "took a cou
ple of shots at my boys in San
Francisco."
Law's only comment was:
