Pirates Bomb Phils, Reds Explode for Six Runs in Seventh to Dump Astros, 10-7 By SAM GOLDAPER UPI Sports Writer The Pittsburgh Pirates wrote their own "Hit Parade" Friday night and the fans at Forbes Field greeted it with a four-star rating. Shouts of "more, more and more meeting hoed through 'the stands as Willie Stargell, Gene Alley and Roberto Clemente "roamed the bases almost at will. The fans even appeared to enjoy pitcher Billy O'Dell striking out four straight times. It was all part of the Pirates' 23 hits (tying Houston for the season high) and a 16-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Pirate fans had much to shout about of late with only four victories in the last 10 games so one could hardly blame them if they sounded a -bit blood thirsty.
Gab Session Helps Their call for "more meetings" when Clemente collected three singles and Stargell a triple and two singles was in obvious reference to the session the players called among themselves after the Tuesday double loss to the New York Mets. The Pirates are 2-0 since that session. Elsewhere around the National League, the league-leading Cincinnati Reds outscored Houston, 10-7; St. Louis edged Los Angeles 3-2; Atlanta defeated San Francisco 5-3 and Chicago rallied to beat the York Mets 3-2. In the American League, the New York Yankees downed the Chicago White Sox 2-1 in 10 innings; Baltimore ripped the Minnesota Twin conquered Washi sas City shut twice 2-0 and 6-0 beat Detroit 4-0.

Except for their identical two- round totals there was little similarity between the games of Aaron and Goalby. "I played better today than I did yesterday, but I didn't score as well," said Goalby after his four-stroke slip from Thursday's first round.

Miss Wright and Miss Albers of Tampa, held a one- stroke lead over first year pro Lesley Holbert of Coral Gables, at the start of today's action.
Miss Wright held the hot hand in Friday's opening round, firing three birdies. "I predicted before the tournament it would take a three-under to win. Now I need two more rounds like this and I'll be satisfied," Miss Wright said. Miss Holbert stayed in contention for her first tournament win with her even 72. She birdied five holes and bogeyed an equal number.
This year's leading money- winner, Kathy Whitworth, was dissatisfied with her "real poor back nine." She ended with a 73 and a tie for third place. Ed Tutwiler Leads Sunnehanna Tourney JOHNSTOWN, Pa.

'Introducing Cal Ermer as the replacement for fired Twins' Manager Sam Mele Friday night, Griffith said that no one thing caused Mele's dismissal. "It's rather an accumulation," he said. The apparent split in the coaching staff last October that saw coaches Johnny Sain and Hal Naragon go to Detroit, Griffith said, was not the reason Mele was fired, but it was clear it contributed.
Then, 25-game winner Jim Kaat, in an open letter to Twins fans, said that if he were a club owner he would hire Sain as pitching coach and then get a manager who could take advantage of him. The Twins have been plagued by missed signs, inferior base- running, and a lack of the "thinking baseball" this year. "At one time last year, I had something in mind things turned around and we started winning," Griffith said. The last half of 1966, the Twins were the baseball, in .643 clip after hottest team steaming at a July 4. Mele's record as a manager was good.
