Rookie Greg Barton started with top draft choice Greg Landry, who saw duty in the College All-Star game, also seeing quite a bit of action. "Lame Duck" quarterback Karl Swee-tan, rumored on his way to New Orleans as soon as Munson is able to go, didn't get in for a single play.

The "donor" didn't fare so well. The Philadelphia Eagles loaned Franklin Field as the site of their exhibition contest with the Detroit Lions Sunday when the proposed site of Mexico.

Mel Farr then took the ball over from the one and rookie Jerry DePoyster converted for a 7-0 Detroit lead, all the remarkably frisky Lions needed as it turned out. Barney also intercepted a pass from reserve quarterback King Hill as the Lions pilfered five tosses and recovered three Eagles' fumbles to successfully blunt the Philadelphia offense.

After the inept showing by Detroit last week against Buffalo of the American Football League and with top signal-caller Bill Munson still sidelined, the win was even more fearing unrest from a hoped-for crowd of 100,000. So the Lions gratefully accepted the opportunity for the tune-up game and administered a 20-3 licking to their hosts, the Eagles. In the process, Philadelphia lost quarterback Norm Snead for about 12 weeks when he lost his footing, suffering a broken fibia in the ankle. "It wasn't a tackle," Snead said later, "my leg just went out when I pivoted."

vvasningion mppea Al- By CHARLIE HASS State Journal Assistant Sports Editor DETROIT Significant, perhaps symbolic, sounds heard at Tiger Staium Sunday: "Pow" and "Plop" about 5:53 p.m. "Rap" and "Splat" about three hours later. Tiger te Gates (The Great) Brown provided the "pow" and "rap" a dramatic 14th-inning pinch-homer and a clutch, ninth-inning single, respectively. Both hits were game-winners, pinning crushing 5-4 and 6-5 defeats Sunday on Boston's bleeding Red Sox. The "plop" and "splat" were the hollow sounds of a glove hitting the floor of the Boston dugout.

Both times, while the Tigers were mobbing Gates Brown. Red Sox second basemen Mike Andrews led the sad Boston crew back to its dugout, flipping in his glove each time ahead of him. You know the sound a lot like the thud of a team which has just lost its last real pennant hope. The thrilling come-from-be-hind triumphs pushed Boston 12 full games behind Detroit, which increased its American League lead to seven games over second-place Baltimore, an 11-1 victim of California Sunday. What makes it even better.

Denny McLain (23-3) is ready to go tonight as the Tigers open a three-night stand at Cleveland before visiting Boston this weekend to see if the Red Sox are really dead. They should be. and Brown CI never had such a day in my whole was certainly the chief executioner. There were plenty of helpers though. Like the five relief pitchers (Joe Sparma, Jon Warden, Don McMahon, Fred Lasher and Mickey Lolich) who held Boston scoreless for 13 1-3 innings in the 14-inning opener.

DETROIT Mickey Lolich kissed Gates Brown here Sunday. Nobody witnessing it thought it was funny or out of place.

It was simply the manifestation of the pennant spirit which has engulfed the Detroit Tigers and their fans. Brown had just homered in the bottom of the 14th inning to give Detroit a cherished 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox in the first game of a doubleheader. He was mobbed by his mates after crossing the plate. Lolich. who had been a pitch away from walking in Boston's lead" run minutes before, got credit for the victory giving him a 10-7 mark.

"I went up there looking for a pitch I could hit out." Brown said. "Usually I just try to get a piece of the ball." Brown, who also singled the winning run in Detroit's 6-5 nightcap victory, said: "I bet a lot of people went away madder than heck before we won that second game." Boston had scored three times in the top of the ninth, and more than 10,000 fans (of 49,087) left before the Tigers rallied for four in their half. Earl Wilson, who had been bombed for four runs in the first inning of the opener, was able to wisecrack about his misery "If any of those people got tied up in that traffic jam early this afternoon they missed me altogether."

That forced Boston manager Dick Williams to use a pinch-hitter for his left-handed relief star, Sparky Lyle who had mowed down the Tigers since the seventh inning. The move was nearly costly as Lolich went to a 3-2 count on pinch-hitting Rico Petrocelli before getting him to ground out. "Lyle was shoving our bats right down our throats we had to get him out of there," Smith said. Lee Stange, a right-hander, came on in the 13th and 14th, and that gave Smith a chance to use his premier pinch-hitter Gates Brown. Brown slugged a game-winning homer off Stange to end the marathon in the 14th.
