Mefs sweep NEW YORK (UPI) Joe Torre is -making a lot of friends these days the Mets are winning. But one friend, perhaps the Met skipper's pest, was almost strangled after the Mets won the opener of a doubleheader against Philadelphia, ft-5. New York held a 54 lead going into the ninth when with two out, pinch-nitter Tim McCarver ripped a line drive over' the rightfield fence to send the game into extra innings. A wild pitch by reliever Tom Underwood in the 10th scored John Miler.with the game-winning however, and when the Mets took the nightcap 32 on Dave Kingman's three-run homer, Torre was ecstatic. "The guys are' taking things upon themselves," said Torre; obvisously pleased with the team's showing.

"Harrelson (Bud) stole third without getting a sign. (Jerry) Grote bunted on his They took it upon themselves to do the job. They're out there playing and not thinking negative thoughts. Everything is in a positive nature." Torre went on and on about how good his team looked; then started talking about the first game when McCarver, Torre's longtime friend dating back to their St. Louis Cardinal days, hit his home run.

"That was something," said the Met Boss, shaking his head with a grimace. "It's not easy, especially when you want choke your best friend when the game is over." Torre was told that McCarver said it was the first time he ever went to bat looking for a homer. "Tell him he's full of it," repleied a laughing Torre. Kingman's fourth-inning three- run homer gave Craig Swan his third win in seven decisions, and the slugger had some nice things to say; about the Mets for a change. "I like Joe and Mike playing for him," he said.

"It's nice to have someone you enjoy playing for and it's kind of a bad situatiion when you have to go out there and play for yourself. It's very nice to please someone and that's the spirit Torre creates. He just adds enthusiasm and'it's kind ol contagious."

They are the embodiment of the best in Professional basketball," said champagne-drenched team owner Larry Weinberg.

"THESE GUYS have played great all season," said the usually reserved Walton. The big Portland center normally avoids post-game interviews, but he talked at length after the game. "In my opinion," he said, "they (the Sixers) lost because they played a better team. I don't mean to take anything away from them. They're a fine team.

I just think they ran into a better one "This "was one of the best games I've ever played in," Walton said. "A lot of guys played well and it was exciting. Walton won a new car from Sport Magazine when a panel of writers selected him MVP. Blazer Coach Jack Ramsey couldn't argue with the choice. "I've never coached a better player.
