SSXSSSl Outfielders Adjust to Variety of Play in NL LA Uses Shift, Astros Fighting Dome Problems LEWISTON, Maine (AP) Police from the state, county and kept a round-the-clock guard over Casshis Clay today while the heavyweight champion was cooking up another crazy plot aimed at upsetting Sonny Listen at the weigh-in Tuesday. "It's going to be more exciting than the last one," promised Mighty Mouth. If it even matches the wild scenes of Feb. 25, 1964 at Miami Beach, then the Tuesday night return fight may almost take a back-seat to the ceremony of the scales. The cocky, poem-spouting Clay claims he "psyched" Liston into defeat with his seemingly hysterical outbursts before the first fight.

The brash youngster ranted and raved, stomped and yelled. But that night he won the world crown when Liston quit on his stool after the sixth round, claiming an injured left shoulder. Although the 23-year-old undefeated champion declared he wasn't afraid of any possible attack on him by followers of the slain Malcolm X--who left the Black i group of which Clay is a member--uniformed police, by plain-clothesmen, guarded Clay's motel room and followed him wherever he went. "No man scares me," said Clay. "You gonna scare people out of the arena.

You gonna scare Liston. You can bring in an army but you won't scare me." Despite the scare talk -which Clay called newspaper talk the odds favoring Liston dropped from 8-5 to 13-10 and may even fall to even money or swing to Clay by fight time, 9:30 p.m., EST.

Eastern Division leader Oklahoma City's margin was sliced to one game by a 6-3 loss to the Denver Bears and a 9-3 victory by runner-up Indianapolis over San Diego. And, although Western Division pace-setter Tacoma bowed 3-0 to cellar-dwelling Spokane, the Giants still clung to a game lead.

At Vancouver, the Seattle Angels' Bob Radovich pitched a six-hit shutout to lead his team to a 4-0 victory over the Mounties.

In the nightcap, Arkansas exploded for five runs in the llth inning for a 6-1 victory.

The Los Angeles Dodgers unveiled a unique two-outfielder defensive alignment at Chicago Sunday and got away with it but even with three outfielders the Astros were unable to defend against The Dome.

The Dome turned on the Astros in the first inning when Jim Wynn found the glare too hard to handle and lost a fly ball by Jim Ray Hart that went for an mside-the-park homer with two men on and started the San Francisco Giants on the way to a 5-2 victory. Lost Ball "I saw the ball as it left the bat," said Wynn, "but never after that." Houston officials quickly went to work, and said they would paint the plastic bubble, which is what they did last time. Only this time pastels are out. The color scheme will either be blue or black. Pitcher Ken Johnson, who last year lost a no-hitter and turned Dut to be the latest victim of The Dome, had no comment.

Three innings after he left the game it was announced that he had been traded to Milwaukee for outfielder Lee Maye. The Dodgers, meanwhile, pulled their unique player shift in the 12th inning of a 3-2, 16- inning loss to the Cubs. Shift Works With one man on and pitcher Lindy McDaniel up for Chicago, Dodger Manager Walt Alston brought right-fielder Ron Fairly in to play first and moved first- baseman Wes Parker halfway up the line between home and first, guarding against the obvious bunt situation. This left the Dodgers with only Lou Johnson and Willie Davis in the outfield. The shift worked.

McDaniel bunted foul on the third strike.

"Don't ask me; I can't explain it," said the 1964 Cy Young winner after the Chicago White Sox battered him from the mound en route to an 8-3 triumph over the Los Angeles Angels Sunday. Chance, whose 20-9 record last season earned him the award as the best pitcher in the majors, now has dropped three games in 13 days and has seen his earned run average soar to 3.88. He lasted only 2 2-3 innings against the White Sox, giving up six runs on five hits and five walks. Worst Ever "All I know is that this is the worst I've ever pitched," said Chance, who posted a 3-0 record before slipping into his losing streak.

"It can't be that I'm not in shape because I pitched three complete games this spring. At this time last season, the 23-year-old right-hander had a 3- 1 record and a 2.03 earned-run average. Chance never gave himself a chance against Chicago. He walked the first two batters hi the game, and the White Sox were on their way to a three-run inning. He finished his brief performance by walking pitcher Joe Horlen with two out and the bases loaded in the third.

Mickey, women's golf's greatest player, is retiring this year. She is intent on making a grand showing to close out her career but the way she looked Sunday, she: may be thinking that she waited too long to quit.

"It was one of the toughest rounds I ever played," she declared. She obviously was referring to the double bogey she took on the second hole and two straight bogeys after that. Miss Wright had started the final round with a three-stroke I lead but this had evaporated I when she passed the third hole. third with Louise Suggs for the most won and it was her second tournament victory of the year, tying her with Miss Whitworth.

He walked Doug Clemens Intentionally but fired a wild pitch that let the runners move up a base. So he issued another intentional walk to Vic Roznovsky. Then he proceeded to walk pinch-hitter George Altaian and force in the whining run.

Pete Ward led the attack, driving in three runs with two doubles and a sacrifice fly.

Detroit's Hank Aguirre had two Baltimore runners caught off first base, but both escaped the traps and made it safely to second. Bob Johnson reached second in the fourth inning when no Tiger covered the base. Luis Aparicio made it in the seventh when Don Demeter's throw hit him in the back.
