OO PMh I MUM DRUGSTORES Gilbreath, a pinch hitter for the Atlanta Braves, swung his bat at a 1-1 fastball with two outs in the eighth inning Sunday and ruined San Francisco rookie Pete Falcone's bid for a no-hitter. But it was Montanez' antics with his glove at first base -and the moment of mayhem that followed which ruined Falcone's concentration. And that's what ruined the no- hitter. So with that out of the way, the Giants settled down to beat the Braves 5-2 and salvage a split of their Sunday doubleheader. Atlanta took the opener 8-2 on the stength of a seven-run first inning.

In the rest of the National League, Philadelphia bounced back to beat Montreal in their nightcap 4-3 after the Expos had taken the opener 4-0, St. Louis defeated Chicago 7-2; Pittsburgh polished off New York 2-0, Los Angeles edged San Diego 3-2 and Houston beat Cincinnati 8-4. Falcone, a 21-year-old left- hander, had just walked Vic Correll and was facing Gil- Texas Not To For Angels By The Associated Press Ed" Figueroa figured wrong. "When I found out last night that Fergie Jenkins would be pitching for Texas, I told my wife that it would be'a tough game," said the California right-hander who. proved tougher than Jenkins Sunday.

Not that Fergie pitched a bad game, losing a nine-hit shutout on an unearned California run. But Figueroa was seven hits and one run better than his veteran opponent, and that meant a 1-0 Angels triumph over the Rangers. He was shaken somewhat in the ninth inning, however, when a mistake meant trouble. Roy Stn'alley a and-two walked the bases loaded. His 3-2 pitch to Jeff Burroughs was launched towards the alley in left-center field, where Morris Nettles patrolled.

"I just said to myself, 'Mo, get said Figueroa, who watched Nettles speed over and surround the last out "I was kind of expecting an alley shot," said Nettles. "I got a good jump on the ball and I knew it was mine all the time." Obviously, he figuered right. Elsewhere in the American League, Oakland swept a doubleheader from Kansas City 7-6 in 12 innings and 8-1, Baltimore beat Boston 3-0 then dropped the nightcap 51, Chicago swept Minnesota 6-5 in 10 innings and 9-2, New York trimmed Detroit 5-3, and Cleveland edged Mil(Set TEXAS On SB) wants toj play the shell game?

Most players don't seem to mind. Correll did. "I was tapping the runner like I always do," said "He turned around and he told me if I did it again he would drop me.

I did it Vic didn't deck Willie, but he tried. He threw a punch. Suddenly both benches were emptying. It took about 10 minutes to restore order -with Montanez out of the game. Then Falcone returned to work and Gilbreath ripped his first pitch into center field for a single.

Derrcll Thomas singled to drive in the first of two runs in the third inning and singled for two more in the fourth in the nightcap. Marty Perez singled to start and finish the Braves' big inning in the opener, with Biff Ppcproba drilling a two-run single in the middle of it. Expos 4-3, Phillies 94 Steve Rogers pitched'and batted Montreal to its opening-game victory. He allowed just seven hits, singled, and scored one run, then drove in two with a bases-loaded single. In the nightcap, Greg Luzinski led of the ninth; with his 16th homer for the Phils to.tie it, then Tommy Button singled and Tony Taylor doubled to win it.

Cardtialt 7, Cubs Lynn McGlothen checked Chicago' on five hits while Ted Simmons and Willie Davis teamed for five bits arid drove in four runs to pace St. Louis past the Cubs. Simmons homered in the second inning and capped a three-fun third with a double. Davis contributed a double in the third, tripled in the fifth and ripped a two-run single sixth. Dock Ellis silenced the MeU on five hits to give the Pirates their fifth straight victory and the ninth in the last 10 fames.
