Thursday night but guests at a private party for the American League champions after the game got more than they bargained for Yankee stars Reggie Jackson and Graig Nettles got into a scuffle during a celebration party hosted by team owner George Steinbrenner at a resturant less than a mile from the Oakland Coliseum where New York defeated the A’s 0 to clinch the pennnant The party was for members of 4-- the Yankee team and their families Jackson who makes his home in Oakland arrived late to the party and brought several friends with him While Jackson stopped to talk to someone his friends sat at a table occupied by Nettles and his wife Ginger Nettles inquired about the identity of the persons and when they told him they were friends of Jackson Nettles became upset He then left the table and went to look for Jackson Nettles spotted his teammate in a hallway and the two exchanged bitter words Jackson seeing a beer bottle in Nettles’ hand slapped it away and Nettles then punched Jackson landing a blow to his mouth and sending him reeling against a wall Immediately several plainc-lothesma- n hired by Steinbrenner to protect the team at the party jumped in and separated the two Yankee stars A lot of shoving and pushing followed and when peace finally was restored Jackson and his friends left the resturant Nettles took his wife by the hand and angrily left the party shortly afterward Steinbrenner played down the incident “It was a shoving match as far as I’m concerned” said Steinbrenner “It’s an thing and I don’t regard it as very important” Asked if the scuffle would affect Jackson’s future with the team Steinbrenner said “No it’s not in-hou- se that important” Steinbrenner insisted that he heard nothing about any punches being thrown but said he didn’t actually see the incident Nettles and Jackson never have been warm friends and hostility between the two has been brewing for some time A few days ago Nettles whose acerbic wit often pokes fun at his teammates told a gathering of newsmen that contrary to daily re ports “the Yankees are more than' a two-ma- n team” He was refering to Jackson and Dave Winfield the out- Yankees’ fielder According to sources close to the team Nettles has always resented e Jackson’s pompous at-- I natitude and his headline-seekin- g multi-million-doll- ar oft-tim- ture Police were summoned to the premises but no one was arrested or questioned Neither of the two participants in the fight was accused of having too much to drink Jackson who is in the final year of his contract had indicated re- cently that he may seek free agen- cy next season regardless of whether the Yankees win the World Series this year Jackson has had his differences with Steinbrenner this season and last week said that he was 90 percent certain he would 7 test the free agent draft -- In indoor tennis tournament 4 " o: ' matches scheduled today Saturday Moire mm "'4 SOUTH OGDEN — Play continues both today and Saturday in the tennis
