Original Toronto Star caption: He bit the dust: Blue Jay pitcher Jim Clancy took something out of Oakland's Bill North in third inning of yesterday's game at CNE Stadium. North, a good base stealer, walked and was an obvious steal threat. Clancy's repeated tosses to first baseman Doug Ault had North shortening his lead-off just a bit, but that was enough. After several dives into the dirt, North left for second-about two steps slower than usual. Catcher Rick Cerone threw him out.
