"What I would like to see," said Hiller, "is a statistic showing the number of runs that scored the number of men that crossed the plate while the relief pitcher was on the mound, regardless of who they were charged against.

It doesn't matter -what the score the relief pitcher's job to stop those runs from coming in." In the past, a save was registered if the reliever merely appeared, no matter what the score or situation. "Some relief pitchers have a great earned-run average," Hiller observed. "But what does that prove? He could have given up a whole lot of runs that were charged to somebody else.

"I've got my work cut out for me," the weary Miller said. 'Still, a two-stroke lead isn't too bad." He played the front nine in 32, chipping close on one par five, two-putting for birdie on the other, then running in birdie putts of 15 and 30 feet.

Then, hampered by a heavy cold that had him talkino in a hoarse whisper, he ran out of steam. He missed the green and bogeyed the 10th hole, and two-putted the par-five Uth for a birdie. He missed the green and bogeyed the 12th, bogeyed the 15th from a bunker and also bogeyed the 18th just after national television cameras had cut away when he missed the green.

'Miller, seeking an unprecedented sweep of the first three tournaments of the year and the leader all the way in this one, managed a 71 and a 204 total. That put him 12 under par on the Tucson National Golf Club course and only two in front of the challenging trio of Crenshaw, J.C. Sneed and Allen Miller (no relation) all tied at 206. Sneed, a former champion at Tucson, posted a seven-underpar 65, Crenshaw closed with a 67 and Miller had 69. Jerry Heard and Kermit Zarley also got into contention at 207, just three behind the leader.

Each had a 68. Defending champion Bruce Crampton of Australia was out of it. He had a 71 and, at 214, was 10 strokes off the lead. Lee Trevino failed to qualify for the final two rounds. Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tom Weiskopf are not cpm-peting.

Johhny Miller, the reigning U.S. Open champion and unbeaten this season, had a four-stroke lead when play started in the brilliant sunshine. He built it to six strokes at the turn, then had to work hard to retain any margin at all. He bogeyed four of the last nine holes, played that side in three-over-par 39 and said it was the first time this season he'd been over par on any nine holes.
