Joe Torre, extending his hit- ting streak through all 18 games the Cards have played, drove in the final run with a seventh-in- ning single. Losing pitcher, Billy Cham- pion walked Ted Sizemore in the second before McNertney hom- ered into the left field seats.

McNertney, acquired in a trade with Milwaukee last winter, was in the game as a stand-in catch- er for Ted Simmons, who is away on weekend military duty. The Cardinals scored twice in the fourth after another leadoff walk to Sizemore. Singles by McNertney and Reuss plus Lou Brock's bases-loaded walk from Reliyer Ken Reynolds and a sacrifice fly by Matty Alou got the runs home. Ron Santo Paces Cubs To 7-5 Win Hits 2-Ruii Homer, Scores Three Times CHICAGO (AP) Ron Santo hit a tsvo-run homer and scored three times to help the Chicago Cubs defeat the New York Mets 7-5 Saturday, despite a grand slam homer by Tommie Agee. Santo's third homer of the year came in the first inning after Billy Williams had singled and the Cubs scored four more runs--three of them unearned-- in the fourth.

Milt Pappas, 3-1, retired the first 13 batters before Ed Kra- nepool tripled with one out in the fifth and scored on Ken Bos- well's double. Pappas issued a one-out walk to Boswell in the seventh and after retiring Bob Aspromonte, he walked Jerry Grote and pinch batter Art Shamsky be- fore Agee unloaded his second homer of the season- and the first grand slam of his career. Santo led off the decisive fourth by drawing a walk. Joe Pepitone singled him to third and Johnny Callison hit a fiy to right which Ken Singleton dropped, as Santo scored, Ken Rudolph doubled home a run and Don Kessinger singled home two more. Santo also walked in the fifth and eventually scored on a sin- gle by Jim Hickman.

Earl Stephenson came to Pap- pas' rescue after Agee's homer and gained the first save of the season by a Cub reliever. Pap pas now has been credited with half of Chicago's six triumphs this season.

The tie-breaking run came off Atlanta relief ace Cecil Upshaw, who took his first defeat in five decisions. Gaslon's blow carried to the right field corner. Earl Williams made a diving stop of Brown's two-out bouncer toward the hole, but his throw to first was late. San Diego had tied it 2-2 in the seventh when Dave Campbell doubled to left, reached third on Ivan Murrell's infield single-and scored as Chris Cannizzaro forced Murrell at second. Campbell's liner would have cleared the fence for a homer except for a desperation leap by Ralph Garr, who deflected the ball back into the field.

Cannizzaro rapped his first home run of the year over the left field fence in the third.

Jack Day, who hurled the op- ener for GW and spaced seven hits to gain his third decision of the season against one loss, helped to win his own game with a triple in the lower second. Later, pinch-runner Duquette scored for him on a single by Bob Bradley.

This accounted for all the scoring action in the first game as GW was limited to just three other hits by Liberty's P. Day. The second game failed to be a contest after the first in- ning when GW built up a whop- ping seven-run lead. in the opening It was the top of the -sixth before Liberty scored its three runs, and by that time GW was with a 10-Q advantage.

Only Australian Bruce Devlin could stay within sight of the burly blond who won the PGA National championship in a sim- ilar fashion--bolting to a huge third-round lead. His five stroke margin is the largest after 54 holes this sea son.

Devlin had 72 for 214. Miller Barber, the 40-year-old veteran who had shared the lead with Nicklaus after 18 holes and again after 36, couldn't stand the back with pace and fell a fat 76--four well over par--for 216. South African Gary Player, once tied with Nicklaus early in the third round also encountered difficulties on the demanding finishing holes and had a 74 for 215. He was tied at that figure, just one under par, with Dave Stockton, who had a 72, and Masters champ Charles Coody, who managed a 71 despite put- ting one in the water on the 17th hole. That left only five players un- der par after three trips in and out of the deep, clinging rough that Unas the fairways of the 7,114 yard, par-72 layout.

Jack went out in front alone-- and to stay--with a birdie four on the ninth, hitting an eight iron up to five feet.

Barber, by that time, had drifted back, hitting the water for a double bogey five on the seventh and taking bogeys on the next two. Nicklaus got a two-putt bird on the 12th, then ran in a 12 footer on the next one. He bog- eyed the 14th, missing the green, but the course took care of the rest of the field.

(AP) Rookie Hubert Green charged away from old pro Lee Trevino Saturday and took a command- three-stroke lead with a 14- under-par 202 after three rounds of the $60,000 Tallahassee Trevino struggled to a three-- under-par 69 and stood a strong second at 205 going into Sun- day's final 18 holes. Green, 24-year-old graduate of Florida State University, canned even birdie putts after ing the second hole and credited familiar and friendly crowd with helping charge him up for his 33-33--66 through swirling winds and the Trevino pressure. In his first five months on the pro tour Green has collected $15,200 and has set a goal of be- coming the rookie of the year. It will be difficult," the con- fident youngster from Birming- ham, said, "because rookie Bud Allen already won at Greensboro. I guess I'll win two of them.

You can't win two until you win one, but I'm not predicting anything for to- morrow. I'll just play my best." Trevino said-he-played about as well as Friday except that his slice wasn't working and landed him in three fairway bunkers. If my ball goes straight, I'm trouble," the fast talking Mexican slammer quipped. Green and Trevino almost turned a jam-packed field into a. two-man race.

Jack Ewing Bakersfield, shot third place at 207--two strokes behind Trevino with a third round 67. added his sec- ond straight par 72 over the 7 124-yard Killearn Golf.and Coun- try Club course to his. opening 64 and was tied for fourth at 208 with veteran third round leader'Randy Wolff who slipped to a 73. Cupit, who has won four naments in a decade on toiir, equalled. Green's best score of the day with 33-3J--68.

"The course played longer than Friday, with the tees get back and pins hidden," he said "but I putted real well. I had nine one-putt greens." One stroke farther back at 209 were Rod Funseth, Charlie Sif- ford, Bert Yancey, and Ted Hayes. TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

(AP) Aging Bob Foster stalked galloping Ray Anderson for 15 rounds Sat- urday night and scored an unan- imous 15-round decision to re- tain one version of World ligh- theavyweight boxing champion- ship.

Heavyweight champion Joe Frazier shouted advice to the 26-year-old challenger, mostly "hook, Ray, please hook," but it i didn't work. Foster was the aggressor in going the full 15 rounds for the first time in his career. Judge Floyd Golden scored it 145-138 on the 10-point must sys- tem, judge Bill Diaz called it 145-140 and judge Sam Kline made it a Foster sweep with a 148-130 card. Referee Lee Sala did not score the fight Foster, who weighed 170V4, improved his record to 43-50, but failed to score a 37th knock- Gibby Gilbert 73-71-73--217 Georse Knudson -nZ? out.

Foster chased, the crowd booed and few exchanges devel- oped until both men began tire in the sixth round.

The cocky Anderson shouted insults at Foster at the end of the fifth and referee Sala had to separate them after the bell. It happened again at the end of the ninth, -but Sala was able to keep order. Frazier, a stablemate of An- Foster a bout at De- derson in manager Yank" Dur- ham's Philadelphia fight camp, yelled constantly at the chal- lenger, but after 11 rounds said, I give up, Ray.

You fight the way you want to." Frazier scored a second-round knockout against heavyweight title troit last November, Smokin's Joe's final tuneup before whip- ping Muhammad Ali last March. Foster managed jack-hammer left hooks to Anderson's head when he occasionally caught his younger opponent, but the' 32- year-old veteran couldn't taka his man down. Foster, of Washington, D.C took the title from Dick Tiger in 1968 and Anderson, of Akron, Ohio, is only the second con- tender to take him past the fourth round in six defenses. In a unique scoring system, referee Sala did not participate and the fighters' cumulative point totals were flashed on tele- vision screens at the end of each round for home viewers on the ABC-network. A crowd of 4,112 paid $46850 to see the fight at the Curtis Hixon Hall in downtown Tampa Foster was expected to earn about $40,000 for the bout to $20,000 for Anderson.

The World Boxing Association withdrew its recognition of Fos- ter lightheavy champ because he failed to make a defense within a specified period-- but he generally is regarded as the universal titleholder. Vincente Paul Rondon of Venezuela is listed as the WBA champion with Foster rated as its No. 1 contender..
