charge to the top of the Ameri-
can League East,
Smith gave Curtis a 1-0 lead
with a solo homer off Stahouse,
2-3, in the fifth inning. Smith hit

by Mike Andrews and a run-
scoring single by Rick Reichardt

home against 14 losses for the
White Sox, who moved within
one game of idle Oakland in the
American League West pennant
race.
Andrews opened the fourth

Parsons, 9-11. Dick Allen then
walked, stole- second, went to
third on an error and scored on
Reichardt's single through a
pulled-in infield.
Tom Bradley, 13-9, had a no-
hitter going into the fifth when
the Brewers broke through for

and Mike Ferraro. Bradley then
retired the next 10 men before
Parsons singled to center with
one out in the seventh.
Angels haloed
CLEVELAND - Frank Duffy's
bases-loaded single with two out
in the bottom of the 10th inning
capped a two run rally that car-
ried the Cleveland Indians to a
4-3 American League victory over
California last night.
The Angels had taken a 3-2 lead
in the top of the 10th on Bob
Oliver's third RBI of the game,
a single off third baseman Graig
Nettles' glove.
But in the bottom of the 10th,
Steve Barber, 4-2, took over for
California starter Rudy May.
Buddy Bell singled and John
Brohamer was safe when Oliver
threw his bunt to second too late
to get Bell.
Ray Fosse singled to load the
bases, Barber uncorked a wild
pitch that tied the baseball game
and, two outs later, Duffy came
through with his winning hit to
center.
Mets romp
NEW YORK - Ed Kranepool
and Tommie Agee hit home runs
and relief pitcher Tug McGraw
helped Jim McAndrew out of a
tight spot in the eighth inning,
giving the New York Mets a 5-0
victory over the Atlanta Braves
last night.

lead with a bases-empty home
run in the second inning and
capped a three-run eighth for
New York with an RBI single.
Agee delivered a-two run homer
for the other runs in the eighth.
McAndrew, 9-3, held the Braves
to three hits through the first
seven innings before running in-
to trouble in the eighth. The
righthander walked Mike Lum
to lead off the inning and then-
gave up a one-out pinch single to
Sonny Jackson that put men on
first and third.
McGraw then got the next two
batters to end the threat and
pitched the ninth to record his
17th save. Ron Schueler, 4-7,
was the loser.
Reds blank
PHILADELPHIA-Don Gullett
came into the game after starter
Wayne Simpson hurt himself in
the first inning and held the Phil-
adelphia Phillies to just four hits
the rest of the way en route to
a 3-0 Cincinnati Reds' victory
last night.
The Reds grabbed a 1-0 lead in
the first off Phillies' starter
Wayne Twitchell, 2-4, on a walk,
a single by Bobby Tolan and an
RBI single by Tony Perez.
BOSTON'S REGGIE SMITH, unsuccessfully tries to break up

AGILE ROD CAREW eludes the tag of Tiger backstop Bill Freehan in the fourth inning of last night's
extra inning affair. This run proved mighty big for the Minnesota Twins, who are also beginning to
make a move towards the top of their division, as the bumbling Bengals lost 7-6 in 13.
