Johnson Slcams Bucs; Steelers Swiped Giants Turn Bradshaw Pickoffs Into Victory By HAL BOCK Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) When the boss bawls you out, it's bad enough. But when he does it in front of more than 60,000 people in the middle of Yankee Stadium, well, you've really got problems. That's what happened to Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw Sunday after he threw three secon-dperiod interceptions, leading to New York scores that helped the Giants to a 29-24 National Football League preseason victory over the Steelers. Pete Gogolak kicked five another mistake, with Willie Williams making New York's third Interception of the period only nine seconds before the half.

The Giants called a quick timeout, giving Gogolak time to set up for field goal No. 3 and a 23-10 halftime lead. Gogolak added two field goals in the second half, completing what he called, "my best kicking effort ever for the Giants." That gave New York enough points to hold off the son. He has 55 steals so far this year. Sharing the record with him are Houston's Cesar Cedeno and St.

Louis' Lou Brock, who stole his 50th base of this season Sunday for another mark of distinction. Brock set a record of nine straight seasons of 50 or more steals, breaking Ty Cobb's record of eight. Morgan's homer in the seventh inning helped the Reds break open a tight game. Fred Norman, the Cincinnati starter, won his 11th contest. In the National League's other games, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3; the San Francisco Giants edged the New York Mets 5-4; the San Diego Padres downed the Montreal Expos 4-2; and the Chicago Cubs trimmed the Houston Astros 4-2.

Dodgers 7, Phillies 3 Joe Ferguson and Ron Cey blasted home runs and Steve Garvey knocked in two runs with sacrifice flies, giving Los Angeles a 7-3 decision over Philadelphia. The victory gave the Dod ATLANTA (AP)-Davey Johnson is a most unlikely candidate to lead the major leagues in home runs-but that's exactly what the scrappy Atlanta Braves second baseman is doing. And what's more incredible, there's only one more month left in the baseball season. Johnson admits it's a "different" feeling, after drilling a grand slam homer Sunday in guiding the Braves to an 8-6 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates before a crowd of 26,113 at Atlanta Stadium. "I felt about midway in the season that if Stargell, Aaron and all the rest got sick, I might beat them, but realistically I figured if I stay healthy all year, I'd hit maybe 20-25." Sunday's clout gave the slick 6-foot-l, 185-pounder 36 for the season and inched him to within six home runs of the all-time mark of 42 homers hit in a season by Rogers Hor-nsby.

Johnson overtook Willie Stargell of the Pirates, who has 35 homers for the season. Ralph Garr also helped the gers a sweep of their three-game series in Philadelphia and kept them four games ahead of Cincinnati in the National League West. Giants 5, Mets 4 San Francisco's Ron Bryant became the National League's first 20-game winner and Dave Kingman knocked in four runs with a homer and single in the Giants' 5-4 victory over New York. "It's every pitcher's dream, a dream come true for me," said Bryant as his record reached the 20-8 mark. Padres 4, Expos 2 A two-run homer by Dave Roberts snapped a tie in the ninth inning and carried San Diego over Montreal 4-2.

"My big pitch today was my curve ball," said San Diego's winner, Randy Cubs 4, Astros 2 Carmen Fanzone drilled three hits, including the game-winning single, carrying Chicago over Houston 4-2. "It was a weird feeling, getting to play the whole game," said Fanzone, who was subbing for regular third baseman Ron Santo. Braves attack Sunday, lashing three hits and driving in a run while Dick DieU had a run-scoring double along with RBI's by Darrell Evans and Dusty Baker. Roric Harrison, 8-4, picked up the victory. Dock Ellis, 1M3, was the victim of Johnson's blast, giving up six of the Atlanta runs while reliever Luke Walker surrendered the other two.

The Pirates had the tying run on base in the ninth before relievers Tom House and Adrian Devine came on to stop Pittsburgh's rally two runs shy. Earlier Al Oliver cracked a three-run shot to get Pittsburgh within M. This is the Joe Morgan doll. Wind it up and watch it go. The diminutive Cincinnati second baseman was all wound up and as a result, tied a major league record with a home run.

"That's the one I wanted," said Morgan, after his two-run homer helped the Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1. Morgan thus became the third player in baseball history to hit at least 20 homers and steal 50 bases in a single sea miirtMtllllllllillllllll IIIMIIillll TIIITI1II11 1 till IMIIIIIIIMtlllllllltlll ttlllllllllMHIDlrl rt rill irillllllTJIIIIIIMIIMIllllTltlllllllMlllllllll IIIMIIIUMIIIIIIIIIMI IMItlllllllllllllltlMIIKllltlllirillll ItKKtllllltlilll 1 steelers aespue a pair or fourth quarter TD passes one by Bradshaw for nine yards to Ron Shanklin, the other in the final minute by reserve Joe Gilliam to Barry Pearson.

Santa Clara Takes Pony League Series WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) Santa Clara has become the third California team in four years to win the Pony League Baseball World Series. Sunday's 4-3 win over Fort Worth, gave Santa Clara the title won by Buena Park, in 1970 and 1971 and Monterey, last year. The win was Santa Clara's sixth straight after an opening loss to Carolina, Puerto Rico, in the eight-team, double-elimination tournament. Conta Plara whirh alsn de Giant field goals, but the backbreakers were interceptions returned by Spider Lockhart and Brian Kelley for touchdowns in the 20-point second period.

"Really, our problem was that we played a dumb offense," said Steeler Coach Chuck Noll. And that's about what he told Bradshaw in their sideline showdown following the trio of interceptions. "That stuff is hard to take," said the quarterback, "but he's the head man. I guess things are piling up. I don't worry about the offense coming around but I guess the coach does." He certainly does, especially after six interceptions in four games for Bradshaw.

"We made too many errors," said Noll. "Bradshaw didn't move the team. He was nowhere close to his potential but you have to blame the whole offense. There was a lack of concentration by everyone." The Giants, on the other hand, were concentrating very well on the way to their fourth straight exhibition victory. The score was tied 3-3 when Bradshaw started making second period mistakes.

Lockhart intercepted on the opening play of the quarter and re turned it 42 yards for a touchdown. "I didn't really expect them to be passing on that play," said Lockhart. "But there it was." Shortly after that, Randy Johnson, who split the Giants' quarterbacking with Norm Snead, moved New York downfield and Gogolak converted his second field goal. Then Bradshaw had another pass deflected by Larry Jacob-son and picked off by Kelley, who raced 39 yards for a 20-3 New York lead. Steve Davis caught a 12-yarder for Pittsburgh's first then Bradshaw made Galloway HRs Pace L.

Galloway's final home run helped Long Island trounce Trenton, N.J., 23-7 Sunday night in the final game of the tournament. Trenton had handed Long Island its only defeat of the double elimination tournament by an 18-9 score early Sunday.

However, relief pitcher Mark Stephens entered the game and retired the final two batters on a pop foul and an infield grounder. The two teams traded runs in the third inning, before a home run by Bill Rouse put Santa Clara ahead 2-1 in the fourth. Bob Ishikawa singled home another fourth-inning run to extend Santa Clara's lead to 3-1 before Kyle Sanford's fifth-inning homer moved Fort Worth to within one run.

Cook Captures Women's Classic In Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP)-Judy Cook, 28, a mother of two from Kansas City, has captured the $3,000 top prize in the $30,000 Professional Women's Bowling Classic.

She rolled a 202 game Saturday to defeat Lea Boxberger of Russell, who slipped to a 186 in the finals at a local television studio. Mrs. Boxberger took home $1,800 as the runner-up in the Ramey won his fourth checkered flag of the season, but not without a strong challenge from Squirt Johns of Brock-way. Johns started in the number two slot and had the lead for nine laps as Srock rode his bumper for six laps before he was able to get around. The Cadet Feature had two restarts, but Larry Wise of Uniontown finally pulled off his first feature win by pure stamina and driving skill.

Wise started 14th in a field of 21 cars, took the lead on the sixth lap and held on to the finish. Ron Mclntyre of Dayton did his best to take the lead, but Wise hung right in there and drove it out with Mclntyre taking second. Bob Mumau of Purchase Line came up from 20th to take third and Buddy Foster of West Decatur was fourth. There were four restarts in the Mini-Coupe feature, as polesitter Bruce Taylor of Indiana, in his new black No. 55, maintained the lead all the way for his first feature win at the Speedway, Spencer Husted of West Decatur gave Taylor a rough time during the 15-lap feature, constantly breathing down his neck.

Husted had to settle for second place, though, with Jim Garvey of Osceola Mills third and Bobby Ross of Clearfield fourth. The Hobby Feature was a good example of how "experience is the best teacher" for this division of novice drivers, because there was only one restart in this field of 22 RALEIGH, N.C.

(AP) Last winter, Bert Greene was in a hospital in northern Cali sacrificed to second by Ray Fosse, raced to third on a wild pitch, and came around to score on a single. It was the only run the A's and Ken Holtzman needed in defeating the hard-luck Stottlemyre 1-0. White Sox 4-3, Tigers 1-1 "Those first innings have been killing us all year," said Detroit Manager Billy Martin after two-run first inning outbursts in both games sent his Tigers to 4-1 and 3-1 defeats. Carlos May hit two home runs and a double, backing Jim Kaat's three-hit pitching in the first game. In the nightcap, Bill Melton hit his 16th home run in his first start as a designated hitter for the White Sox.

Brewers 3, Twins 2 The Brewers stopped a left a runner on third in gaining a 3-2 victory. Jim Slaton had been cruising along with a three-hitter, but a triple and two singles cost him two runs and he was yanked for relief pitcher Carlos Velazquez, who got the final out. Orioles 10, Royals 1 Paul Blair rapped an in-side-the-park grand slam homer to spark a 13-hit Oriole attack in Baltimore's 10-1 victory over Kansas City, lifting Jim Palmer to his 10th consecutive triumph. It was the Orioles' 13th triumph in a row Angels 1, Red Sox 0 Bill Singer won a pitcher's duel from Luis Tiant, getting a second-inning run on Leroy Stanton's single as the Angels overcame a three-hitter by Luis Tiant and beat the Red Sox 1-0. Singer pitched a six-hitter and upped his record to 17-10.

HobDy cole, $977 By The Associated Press Texas Rangers pitcher Jim Merritt beat Cleveland's Gay-lord Perry at his own game Sunday. The veteran Indians pitcher wasn't available for comment after his club was beaten 9-0 and 5-3, but Merritt made it clear that he had taken a page from Perry's new book, in hurling the three-hitter that beat the Cleveland right-hand-" er in the first game. "I threw about 25 Gaylord fastballs," said Merritt, using the nickname reserved for a Perry specialty often called the spitball by frustrated hitters. The pitch was enough to befuddle the Indians, who managed to collect only three hits off that "Gaylord fastball." A's 1, Yankees 0 Mel Stottlemyre pitched no-hit ball against the A's until Joe Rudi singled with one out in the eighth. But Rudi was in the final after disposing of Lee Trevino 1-up with a birdie on the 18th hole of the morning semifinals.

"Oh, man, this is the greatest," he said clutching the $40,000 first-place check that more than quadrupled his earnings for the year. Schroeder developed tendonitis in his left thumb in 1971 and suffered through 2Vi years of poor play and pain that occasionally "was so bad I couldn't use the thumb to pick up a glass." Finally he sought the aid of old pro Paul Runyan. "He watched me play one hole and told me to change my grip. He said it would two things: make me hit the ball better and ease the pressure on the thumb," Schroeder said.

Down the coast in La Jolla, John Schroeder had his left hand in a cast and was wondering if his brief career was over. Both capped their comebacks Sunday with companion victories in pro golf's only doubleheader Schroeder sweeping through a sparkling field of stars to the Match Play championship and Greene outlasting veteran Miller Barber in a five-hold sudden death playoff for the title in the Open.

It was the first American victory for each, and they joined Hawaiian Open champion John Schlee as the only first-time winners on the pro tour this season. "This is one of the greatest days. certainly the luckiest day of my life," said Greene, a lean, 29-year-old veteran of seven years on the tour. Greene's career appeared to be in danger last year when he accidently shot himself in the foot. He had a pistol in his golf bag and the gun discharged while he was loading the bag in the car.

He picked up $20,000 from the total purse of $100,000 after dropping a six-foot birdie putt on the fifth extra hole.

"I thought last year's team was perfect," said one U.S. official. "This year's is much better. It's not fair for our boys to compete with them. They don't have a chance." The complaints began as soon as Huang Ching-hui threw a perfect game against Bitburg, Germany, A.F.B.

in the opener of the eight-team, week-long series. The score was 18-0. After Kue Wen-li pitched another no-hitter against Tampa, Fla with Taiwan smashing four batting records for a 27-0 victory, complaints continued. The, team was booed as it took the field against Tucson. But all the allegations were denied by Taiwanese officials.

Little League President Peter J. McGovern says his American volunteers don't understand the importance Taiwan attaches to baseball. The performance of its teams is "the pride of the nation," he said. Taiwan's 23 league districts are "substantially larger" than those of the United States, McGovern acknowledged, giving its tournament teams larger pools of talent to choose from. But another factor is discipline, McGovern said.

The Taiwan teams are always the best behaved, "as fine a group of kids as you could ever hope to see." And Chiu said that if any overaged boys had been on his squad, they would have been caught by other Taiwan teams during intense regional play early in the tournament. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) Tainan City, Taiwan, left the Little League World Series with three consecutive no-hitters, six batting marks and the island's third consecutive world title. There is no end to the explanations. "The reason they won is that they are very good players," said team manager Chiu Sungnan through an interpreter.

"Some of them are geniuses at playing baseball." "They're a better ball club, just completely out of our class," said Ralph Lanik, manager of the Tucson, team that lost 12-0 in Saturday's finale, getting just two men on base. "There's no way they're that good following the rules."
