New manager Jack McKeon disputes Dick Allen being used as a designated hitter despite Allen’s private agreement with owner Charles C. Finley. Allen has not taken batting practice since spring, yet remains productive as he hits .308 with four homers and 23 RBIs. The A's, amid heavy turnover, chase the AL West lead as Finley makes trades under commissioner Bowie Kuhn’s oversight.
