Aug. 1 2, 1 98 1 The Northwestern Cooper turns 'hit-man' in Milwaukee sweep I 3 9 i i i 51- 1 V. sixth by lining his sixth round-tripper into the right-field stands. Two outs later, Ted Simmons singled, Sal Bando doubled and Mark Broubard followed with a two-run pinch single to right that sent the Indians reeling to their third straight loss and seventh in a row counting four losses prior to the players' strike. Cleveland Manager Dave Garcia said Brouhard's hit was the key to the Brewer win.

"Brouhard's hit was the big one. I had to let Waits pitch to him with Don Money and Roy Howell sitting on the bench just waiting for me to change pitchers," said Garcia. Jim Slaton went six innings to even his season record at 4-4 while Augustine picked up his second save. Brewer batters exploded for 30 hits in the twin bill, including 14 in the opener and 16 in the nightcap. Robin Yount and Howell belted solo homers to give starter Mike Caldwell the victory in the opener.

Jamie Easterly had to snuff out an eighth-inning Cleveland rally to notch his third save. Bo Diaz capped a three-run first inning with a two-run homer off Caldwell, who allowed only one hit over the next six innings before departing in the eighth. John Denny suffered his third loss in six decisions in the first game. Cooper, who doubled home Howell in the first inning of the opener, scored on a single by Gordon Thomas in the third and Yount's sixth homer tied the score at 3-3 in the fourth. Howell's lead-off homer in the fifth put the Brewers on top to stay.

"I hope this is a sign that the cream is coming to the top," said Brewer Manager Buck Rodgers. "We had too many .300 hitters hitting .240 in the first half. If the cream comes rising to the top, maybe we will have .340 hitters in the second half." The strike and Cooper's mediocre hitting prior to it may have caused a lot of fans to forget what Cooper did last year when he hit .352, Rodgers said. Cooper reminded them Tuesday, collecting three doubles, two singles and two home runs in the double-header sweep. AP.UPI CLEVELAND Cecil Cooper became a "hit-man" Tuesday night.

-The Milwaukee first baseman banged out seven hits in nine trips to the plate, including two homers and 16 total bases, to pace the Brewers to 'a double-header sweep over the Cleveland Indians, 6-5 and H. "I won't forget this day for a while," said Cooper, who went 5-for-S the nightcap and upped his average to .289 after hitting .268 in the -first half of the season. "I hit regularly for five weeks (during the baseball strike) against Jerry Augustine, Pete Vukovich and Buster Keeton," said Cooper. "I don't remember going S-for-5 before and this is probably the best double- header that I've ever had. "I really felt good in practice today and after I got a couple of hits I to get that confidence.

I'm better than a .268 hitter and good hitters get there sooner or later." Cooper, who hit a pair of doubles in the opener, started the second game by sending a Rick Waits fastball over the right-field fence. He put the ''Brewers ahead to stay, 2-1, in the AP Tumbling act at first base Philadelphia Phillies' first base coach Ruben a tumble after colliding during Tuesday night's Amaro watches as St. Louis Cardinals' Keith game at Philadelphia.

Bears' fans prefer beer CHICAGO (UPI) The 60,000 people attending the Chicago Bears' first preseason game downed 40,000 cups of beer and were thirsting for more, concession officials said. "We could have sold more, but we had a problem with said John Fernandez, general manager of Volume Services, which sold beer in 18-ounce cups at 16 locations around the stadium Saturday.

It was the first time beer had been sold at a Bears home game. Officials said Tuesday the premier of beer sales at Soldier Field went smoothly. Moreland's bases-loaded, lOth-inning single scored Gary Maddox to spark the Phillies. Winner Ron Reed came on in the 10th inning to even his record at 2-2, while Jim Kaat, 3-2, took the loss.

United Press Interutitnal In Chapter I of the extraordinary 1981 baseball season, the Los Angeles Dodgers were left with a triumphant half-game lead over the Cincinnati Reds and an engraved invitation to the post-season playoffs. In Chapter II, the story continues and it's time for Cincinnati to strike back.

Dan Driessen hit a three-run homer and Dave Con-cepcion lofted his career hit to start the Reds on the comeback trail Tuesday night with a 7-6 victory over the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Driessen, whose shot capped a four-run seventh inning that gave Cincinnati the victory, held extra batting practice accountable for the Reds' improved performance after losing to the Dodgers 4-0 in Monday's re-opener. "After getting only three hits off Jerry Reuss yesterday, we decided to come out early before today's game to lift New York to their second straight.

Kent Te-kulve came on in relief to even his record at 3-3, while Woody Fryman, 3-2, took the loss. Braves Padres 1 At San Diego, Gaylord Perry made his record 6-4 and moved within five victories of his 300th career win to back Atlanta with the aid of a second-inning, two-run triple by Rufino Linares. Loser was Steve Mura, 4-8. San Diego scored their only run on a single by Broderick Perkins.

Phillies (, Cardinals 5 At Philadelphia, Keith and practice," he said. "Monday night we were just feeling for the ball, but in a couple of weeks we should be in midseason form." Concepcion, who also got a home run in the game, shrugged off his milestone hit. "It had to come," he said. "I was just happy to get a hit off (Fernando) Va-lenzuela. I haven't been hitting too well off him lately." Cincinnati jumped all over Los Angeles starter Va-lenzuela, who yielded five hits, three runs and four walks before being lifted in the fifth inning.

Reliever Terry Forster fared no better in facing the seventh-inning onslaught and lost his first decision of the season. The victory went to reliever Scott Brpwn, 1-0, with Tom Hume pitching in the ninth to gain his sixth save. Mets 4, Cobs 2 At Chicago, Doug Flynn's two-out RBI single capped a two-run eighth-inning rally Murphy ready for challenge Putzer's Pro Shsp shave my head every morning," said Murphy, who has heard and been subjected to all the jokes about saving on haircuts, shampoo and hair tonic. "When I was in fourth grade I had some kind of nervous disorder, and I just lost all my hair. The only problem it's caused me is that I have perspiration running down into my eyes all the time." Continued even spend much time considering the possibility of being a starter this year." If it helps at all, Murphy looks tough, like a starter is probably supposed to look.

His look is helped in no small measure by his bald pate. In fact, he goes beyond just bald to totally hairless. "It's not a matter of choice, like I Even Murphy's favorite hobbies have an air of toughness to them. He plays racquetball and likes handguns. How tough he really is will be answered within the next week or so.
