"That's what you've got to do when you're not hitting," Luzinski said. "We're going to break out of it.

There's too much ability here." The Phils most certainly did not break out of it last night. Bowa's hit leading off the fourth was the club's third and last of the night. Luzinski, who reached base on Templeton's error, was the last base runner. They have scored only 12 runs in their last seven games, and in that period the team batting average has fallen from .259 to .253. Most of the year, the Phils have managed to get baserunners if not runs, leaving Danny Ozark muttering about "those bleeping LOBs." List night, the attack withered away to the point that the Phils did not leave a single man on all night.

That, of course, ties a major league record, held by many. The last team to do it was the Montreal Expos against St. Louis in 1975. Whenever a team is held in check as the Phils were last night the question arises Was it bad hitting or good pitching? Last night, it most definitely was the latter. "That's the best stuff I think I've seen Denny (who led the league in earned-run average in 1976) have since I've been in the league," Ozark said.

"He pitched Schmittie as good as you can pitch Schmittie." But Denny had the misfortune to run against the stopper. NOTES: The Cardinals' run. came on an eighth-inning home rtut by Keith Hernandez on a pitch McCarver described as an inside fast ball. The win snapped a three-game losing streak and pulled the Phils within two games of the division-leading Cubs, who begin a four-game week-end series here with a twi-night doubleheader today. The Cubs were off last night and their manager, Herman Franks, was sitting behind home plate watching the game The win was number 199 of his career for Carlton.

He is 20-7 lifetime against the Cards, his former teammates The crowd of 29,183 brought the Phils over the one million mark on their 33d date, their earliest ever by one date. The only other team to have passed one million so far this year is Los Angeles' Cards, figured by many tobe a strong contender, are now 6-22 against lefthanders this season They aren't so great against righthanders either. PHILLIES, From 1-C should hold at second. But Bowa was off and blazing for third. "(Cardinal third baseman Ken) Reitz was playing way back," Bowa said.

"I said to myself, 'If it's hit to the right (of Templeton), I'm going. It's an instinct play. I got a great lead, a super jump. I didn't think they could get me. If he's playing even with the bag, I'm out.

But when he's playing way back, he's got to run to the base, catch the ball on the run (the throw from shortstop Templeton) and make the tag. It's a tough play." As Bowa headed for third, Templeton picked up the grounder, saw Bowa, looked to third and cocked his arm as if to throw it there. Seeing that Reitz, who had taken a step toward short when the ball was hit, was not yet back at the bag, Templeton turned toward first. Now Templeton was off balance. His throw landed several feet in front of first baseman Keith Hernandez, and bounced over his shoulder for an error.

Bowa came around to score what proved to be the winning run. "If Bo doesn't go on that ball, Philadelphia Inquirer GERVASE J. ROZANSKI Garry Templeton goes over Luzinski to complete a double play Ongais earns Schaefer 500 pole; Sneva and Rutherford next fastes Compiled bv The Inquirer Staff NEW YORK Big John Tate fought himself into the heavyweight title picture last night by pounding previously unbeaten Bernado Mer-cado into submission in the second round of a scheduled 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden. Referee Joe Santarpia stopped the fight at 2 minutes 24 seconds of the second with Mercado draped over the ropes after taking a series of punches to the body and the head. Promoter Bob Arum, who has a contract with Tate, the Olympic heavyweight bronze medalist in 1976, had said before the fight that if Tate beat Mercado he would be in line for a title shot against World Boxing Association champion Leon Spinks should Spinks beat Muhammad Ali in September.

Arum also has promotional ties with Spinks. Golf OAKVILLE, Ont.

POCONO, From 1-C I had fully intended to make my qualifying run at that point." Ongais admitted there had been problems with the car earlier in the day. "We were reasonably quick yesterday (Wednesday)," he said. "Somehow, we lost it but we were fortunate enough to get it back." Ongais' successful bid for his fifth pole position and his seventh front-row start in eight races this year was greeted by lusty cheers from the crowd of 15,000 who waited throughout the afternoon. Ab he climbed from the cockpit of his slick, black racer, he acknowledged the applause with a wave, took a deep breath and combed his curly black hair.

It was a satisfying moment for the quiet ex-drag racing champion who freely admifls he prefers to do his talking with a gas pedal. "I'm quite happy," he said. "It (the pole position) is a nice place to start from. I'm sure everybody who ran today went out with that in mind. But we just went out to try and do our best." Sneva, the only other man to start from the pole position this year, including a record 200-plus m.p.h.

effort at Indianapolis, had been pleasantly surprised at his qualifying speed. But he was by no means confident that he would wind up on the pole.

The 43-year-old Texan averaged 188.206 m.p.h. in his Gilmore-Coyote-Foyt, a speed that stood up as fourth fastest, good for the inside of the second row of three. "I can't say I'm happy about it because we're not handling good or running good," he said. "But there's a lot worse places to start from." Foyt also praised Ongais, saying, "He deserves every bit of it (the pole position). He's worked hard to get where he is and he is a very good driver." Joining Ongais and Sneva on the front row was Johnny Rutherford, a two-time Indy champ and the 1974 winner here, who gave everybody something to shoot at when, as the first of the top contenders, he toured the track at 188.976.
