"What do you mean by that?" Umont snapped. "It's my opinion that he (Briles) deliberately threw at him." Williams went on. "I'll handle it," said Umont, who then summoned Red Schoendienst, the St. Louis manager from the Cardinal's dugout. "I'VE BEEN reading in the paper how (Jim) Lonborg brushes back our hitters," declared the St.

Louis skipper. "There's a lotta difference between a brush-back pitch and a deliberate pitch to hit a man," countered Williams, an By MILTON RICHMAN ST. LOUIS (UPI)-The first bad blood of the World Series popped to the surface yesterday when Boston Manager Dick Williams openly accused Nelson Briles of "deliberately throwing" at Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski. WHETHER it was deliberate or not, Briles hit the Boston left fielder on the back of his leg his first time up in the first inning and that brought Williams out of the dugout on the double. "Are we going to have a knockdown battle or what?" He inquired of Frank Umont, interested listener to the conference between Umont and Schoendienst.

"A brush-back pitch is part of baseball," the Red Sox manager said following his team's 5-2 loss at the hands of Briles. "Hitting someone deliberately with a pitch is not." Yastrzemski, whose two homers and a single helped the Red Sox to a 5-0 victory in the second series game at Boston Thursday, seemed far more concerned by his failure to get the ball out of the infield in three official trips than by his sore calf. "I'VE BEEN thrown at before," he said quietly. "It doesn't bother me." "Do you think it could have been a mistake on Briles' part?" Yastrzemski was asked. The Red Sox outfielder smiled before replying.

"It was no mistake," he said. "The pitch was behind me." Yastrzemski, who took batting practice after he was held hitless by Bob Gibson in AP Wircphota Nelson Briles Gives Cards Edge with healthy gulp of beer, the Cardinals' brand at that. "WERE YOU angry after Briles hit you with that pitch?" They asked him. ''Did you say anything to him." Yaz swallowed some more of his sandwich and thought back to the first inning. "Yeah," he said, suddenly remembering.

"I said 'thank you' to him." That was on the way down first base. AND THAT WAS when Williams came bolting out of the dugout.

Br'des Baffles Boston 5 to 2 the Series opener, laughingly revealed he did not intend to take any extra licks at Busch Stadium after yesterday contest. "I think I'll pass it up this time," he said. "He (Briles) made mistakes on two pitches with me, once the second time I came up and again the last time up but I couldn't do anything with them. "HE CHALLENGED me with fast balls twice and I fouled 'em both off. The rest of the time he threw me sinkers away or low fast balls away." Without putting down Briles, Yastrzemski made it rather obvious he didn't consider the young Cardinal right-hander in the same pitching class with Gibson.

'He doesn't throw extremely hard," said Yaz, "but he keeps the ball down. We may have had a chance to get him in the early innings but we couldn't do anything about it. Near the end, I thought he was throwing better." Yastrzemski took a big bite into his salami sandwich on whole wheat and downed it the gap to 4-2 in the scvenlh but St. Louis struck again in the eighth against Dan Osin-ski, fourth and last Boston pitcher. Maris beat out a single on a checked swing as the ball rolled between first and second.

Orlando Cepcda, hitless in his first 10 Series at bats after a fine regular season, broke out of his slump with a double off the wall in right center, scoring Maris. Series Umpires Get Pay Increase ST. LOUIS (UPI) Baseball Commissioner William D. Eckert announced yesterday that the World Series share of each umpire has been in from the Cardinal dugout. Umont told the managers he could handle the situation.

Briles said he pitched his normal game, trying to keep the ball away from the hitters. He said the pitch Smith hit over the right field wall was right down the middle. The game, threatened by drizzle and fog all morning, was played in warm sunshine. However, neither club took batting or fielding practice as the field remained covered until about an hour before the game. On the orders of Commissioner William Eckert, the lights were turned on at the start of the game.

ASKED HOW he pitched to Yaz, Briles said, "I watched how he swung against the others, and I tried to work on him. I got him twice on fast balls and once on a breaking ball." Schoendienst, beaming in victory, said he would pitch Steve Carlton, a long, lean lefty, in tomorrow's fifth game against Jim Lonborg, who won a one-hitter The victory tipped the scales heavily in favor the Cardinals, who went into this third game as 2-1 favorites to win it all. They play the next two at home today and tomorrow and could wrap it up without returning to Boston. GIBSON, WHO struck out 10 Red Sox while winning Wednesday's opener, 2-1, was scheduled to work for St. Louis today against Jose Santiago, the Puerto Rican who lost to him at Fenway Park.

Manager Red Schoendienst of the Cards was able to assure Gibson of three starts if the Scries goes seven games and each with the required three days of rest. There was the first mild rhubarb of the Series in the first inning when Briles pitch hit Yastrzemski. Manager Dick Williams of the Red Sox came out to argue, claiming that Briles had been throwing at his ace slugger.

After the Red Sox broke through for their first run in the sixth on Mike Andrews' pinch single, Jose Tartabull's sacrifice and Dalton Jones' single, the Cards came right back in their half of the inning. Brock, the Cards' speedy bullet, beat out a perfectly placed bunt for his second base hit and sixth of the Series.

When Lee Stange, third Red Sox pitcher, threw wildly past first base on his third attempt to pick off Brock, Lou went all the way to third. Roger Maris singled to right on a 3-2 pitch, driving in Brock. SMITH'S HOMER narrowed Mtuntt MEN'S, SHOP At Your Pleasure 1m. thru Sal. M.n.

LOUIS Boston manager Dick Williams is glad to close up his umbrella and turn his attention back to baseball. Overnight rain and cloudy skies threatened to postpone yesterday's World Series game between Williams' Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals. One Man's Opinion (From Preceding Page) you'll make a mistake," Briles said.

"You must stay on top mentally. You must make yourself do it." Nelson was on top of the Red Sox hitters mentally and physically yesterday, throwing only 100 pitches He was a bit wild low but he went to three balls on only four batters He didn't walk a man, he showed a real good curve and he moved the ball around well Briles did make a mistake in pitching to Reggie Smith who parked one of his offerings into the stands. Yastrzemski went out twice on Briles' fast balls and the other time on a breaking pitch The double play Carl hit into in the fourth was on a fast ball Only a momentary fumble by Javier kept another Yastrzemski grounder from being turned into a twin killing. Offense Leaders Finally Connect Orlando Cepeda and Tim McCarver, the Card offensive leaders during the season, finally broke into the hit column And that can only mean more trouble for the Red Sox even if Jim Lonborg is pitching. Cepeda had been hitless in 13 trips to the plate, extending back to the seventh game of the 1962 series, when he lined a double over Jose Tartabull's head in the eighth for an insurance run He hadn't gotten the ball out of the infield on his other three attempts.

McCarver opened the second with a single for his first hit since the '64 series Then he rode home on Mike Shannon's drive into the left field stands to put the game out of reach. "I didn't hit it on the good part of the bat," grinned Shannon, adding: "But I was pretty sure it was going to be out." The Cardinals embarrassed the Bosox by laying down two bunts, one of which resulted in their fourth run. Brock, who started the Redbirds to victory with a first inning triple off Gray Bell's curve, made two attempts in the sixth before his success The first time, when he saw third baseman Dalton Jones playing back, his effort rolled foul down the third base line Then, spotting Jerry Adair deep at second, he bunted past Lee Stange for the hit. Three times the Bosox' hurler threw to first three times in an effort to keep Brock from stealing like he did twice in the opener in Boston The third time the ball hit his shoulder and went into right field, Brock going to third from whence Roger Maris scored him with his first of two hits.

The Grambling air force swung the battle in their favor as quarterback James Harris passed for 264 yards and three touchdowns, including the 18-yard finale. He also hit on 26 and 28-yard scoring strikes to Robert Atkins in the second quarter. The key drive in the game was Grambling's march against Ail and the clock just before the half. Three consecutive 15-yard penalties aided the Tiger advance which produced a tally with just 57 seconds remaining.

Coach John Merritt said: "We beat ourselves again with penalties that hurt badly.
