The desire to win is only third or fourth on Beard's list of reasons of why he plays golf. The spirit of competition is not very high on the list, either. "I will be trying to win this tournament," he had said earlier, "becauseflret prize is $30,000."

Traded to the Senators were: Rick Reichardt, 27, nearly six rears removed from the day the Angels paid him $200,000, the largest bonus ever given a baseball player.

signed in 1960 by a Dodger scout named Lefty Phillips. From 1965-69, McMullen hit 86 home runs for the Senators and it is that kind of strength that motivated the second major deal of the Dick Walsh regime. More Power He first brought Alex Johnson to the Angels early last winter and it is because of him that Phillips, the California manager, says: "He has taken the pressure off everyone. That's as much a contribution as what he's done with the bat." The acquisition of McMullen adds additional power to the offense. "I probably will bat him behind Alex," said Phillips.

"That gives a great cote to our lineup." The trade was made, according to Phillips, because "we believe we have a shot at it all. We can be improved in a couple of places but then so can Minnesota and Oakland. I believe this to be a very important deal." McMullen, a native of Oxnard, welcomed the news that the oft-rumored trade had been completed. "I heard that something was going all winter and spring," he said, "and I told my wife that if I had to be traded the one team I'd like to go to would be the Angels. "I think I'm leaving a team on the way up, but I know that I'm joining a contender.

(ALMOST) Dodger first baseman Wes Parker came within a whisker of executing an unassisted double piay in the third inning Sunday when he speared Mike Jorgensen's line drive with a leaping, one-handed catch. Mets pitcher Tom Seaver managed to scramble back to the base safely as Wes missed the tag. The Mets won the game, 3-1, to avoid a Dodger sweep of the series.

The man who scored the winning run was traded to the Senators 'when the game was over and the man who made the error that permitted him to score went to the Angels.

The announcement that a press conference had been called at the end of the game was made at the start of the eighth inning. Lefty Phillips knew that Aurelio Rodriguez and Rick Reichardt had been traded to the Senators for third baseman Ken McMullen. Error Opens Gate The score was 2-0, in favor of the Angels, and the leadoff batter in the oighth inning was Rodriguez. The 22-year-old third baseman who had two earlier hits (one of them set up the second Angel run) bounced an easy ground ball to McMullen. The ball bounced off McMullen's chest, however, and rolled into foul territory.

Rodriguez went to second on a sacrifice by Tom Murphy, the winning pitcher, and scored on Sandy Alomar's double to left-center. The irony was compounded moments later when Reichardt was used as a pinchhitter with runners on first and second with one out. Reichardt lined into a double play to end the inning. Earlier, Rodriguez had thrown McMullen out twice and started a double play that rescued Murphy from trouble in the seventh inning. Please Turn to Page 7, Col.

SANTO'S 'SLAM' PACES CUBS TO 10TH I ROW, 6-3 CHICAGO ffl Slump-ridden Ron Santo's grand slam homer' and solo shots by Billy Williams and Jim Hickman powered the rampaging Chicago Cubs to a 6-3 victory over Houston Sunday.

"To start with," he said, "I'm not a strikeout pitcher and I knew at the beginning today that I definitely wasn't as strong physically as I was against San Diego. "Today I relied on finesse. It was the type of game where I tried to break the hitters' timing by changing speeds while saving my fastball for the last innings." The fastball accounted for three strikeouts in the last two innings. Seaver fanned Bill Grabarkewitz and Len Gabrielson after Wes Parker had doubled to open the eighth. He also fanned Andy' Kosco after Willie Davis had doubled with two out in the ninth.

"We can help him with his windup and his curve, and he'll be a little less nervous the next time.

He's here to pitch and he'll pitch next Thursday night." Vance will receive help on the sidelines and maybe Thursday there will be more support.
