Frank Fernandez, an ex-Yankee, and Sal Bando homered for the second straight game as the Oakland A's made it two in a row over Baltimore.

Moe Drabowsky relieved, but Clarke laced his second pitch to deep center and pinch runner Jerry Kenney raced home with the winning run. Mike Andrews and Billy Co-nigliaro continued their hot hitting as the Red Sox breezed by the Twins behind Sonny Sie-bert's five-hit pitching.

Andrews, who has 10 hits in his last 14 at-bats, hit a two-run homer in the sixth. The Angels again failed to gain on Minnesota and remained two games out in the AL West by losing to the Tigers. Al Kaline's two-run double with two out in the eighth following singles by Dick McAuliffe and Cesar Gutierrez provided the winning margin. Kaline also had an RBI single earlier. Walt Williams' home run on the first pitch of the game touched off a four-run White Sox uprising against Washington's Dick Bosman.

An error, singles by Carlos May and Bill Milton, an infield out and Bobby Knoops' double accounted for the other three runs in the inning and Milton homered in the eighth.

the Chicago White Sox trimmed Washington 7-3 and Cleveland slugged Milwaukee 8-4. Oakland started long-balling' in the fifth inning after Don Mincher singled home the tying run against Tom Phoebus. Fernandez then slammed his fifth home run of the season for a 3-1 lead and Bando tacked on an insurance run in the seventh off Jim Hardin with homer No. 10. Mudcat Grant protected Catfish Hunter's eighth triumph by getting Brooks Robinson to hit into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the eighth after Merv Retten-mund singled a run home.

"That's the way it should be," said Grant, who picked up the victory Wednesday night. "The relief pitcher should save it and the starting pitcher should win it. Both should share in the credit." "They beat us at our own game hitting home runs." said Earl Weaver, manager of the Orioles, who have lost four of their last five games but still hold a 5'z-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East. "That's the way we usually beat people, but that's the way the Mets beat us in the World Series." Rooker seemed in complete command of the Yankees as he went to the mound for the ninth inning. But Clarke drilled his first pitch, a high fast ball, on a line to left field and Murcer, after fouling off two bunt attempts, socked a game-tying double to right center.

Webster Repeats As A 11-A meriean Mark Webster. Cornell senior attackman. has made the All- American lacrosse team a second time. His selection was announced by the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Assn.

Mark, who played tennis at Ithaca High, is the only Ivy Leaguer on the first team. A Cornellian on the second team is Jeff Dean, defenseman, while sophomore Bob Shaw made in at midfield on the thirds while honorablv mentioned were Al Rimmer on attack and John Burnap on defense. There were 43 players who made either teams or were mentioned. There were 15 from Ivy schools. Army gained six spots all told while Cornell.

sion playoffs for berths in the Cup finals. IHS Coach Goes 'EasV Ithaca High lacrosse coach Jim Marsh isn't afraid of the odds. If he was, he'd be going with the crowd and picking LaFayette to walk all over Corning East in Saturday's Upstate Lacrosse Conference championship game at West Genessee. "I just think East has a better team. When you've got Darchagelo and Graham on your side, you've got a lot of talent," he said.

Game time is 2 p.m. East finished 13-0 in the regular season, beating Irondequoit last weekend for the Western Division title in the Upstate Conference. LaFayette, which has produced several outstanding college players, including Bob and Jim Shaw, who play at Cornell and Ithaca College, went 13-2 this year. Marsh is banking on attafkman Roh Darranepln and auacKman bod uarcangeio ana goalie Pete Graham to bring home the title for East. Ithaca lost to East, 10-8 and 4-3 during the regular season.

"I think the Western Division had better clubs this season," Marsh added. "Although I haven't seen the Eastern teams that much, I think our division is the strongest." LaFayette's top scorer, Sid Hill, had 33 goals and 53 assists this year to set a school record. Incredibly, Hill had nine assists, another record, in a 16-3 win over Cicero. Onlookers in the Syracuse area feel that East has not played the schedule the Eastern teams have played this year. East did not play Webster, a team that beat Ithaca, and the Trojans played Irondequoit only once, in last weekend's playoff.

The Bisons attempted during the winter to lease Lackawanna Stadium, in the steel city south of Buffalo. Lackawanna residents rejected a proposed bond issue to renovate the stadium, and the city turned down the Bisons' offer. The team next requested to use All-High Stadium, but the Board of Education rejected the request last March. Niagara Falls had since gained a New York-Pennsylvania League team, and War Memorial Stadium was the only avalable site remaining. The Bisons led all minor league teams in attendance in 1957 through 1961.

Attendance fell after 1960 when the team was forced out of Offerman Stadium and into War Memorial. up a hole on eight with a par four. Hyndman made the turn at par 35 and a one hole lead when Green barely missed a bird on the ninth, chipping from short of the green to within one inch of the cup. Both players were faced with Royal County Down links made hard by the continued bright sun, making fairway bounces unpredictable. But the tricky greens held true.

The Tidewater Tides, despite a 7-4 victory over the suddenly homeless Bisons Thursday night, saw their league lead shrink to half a game over the Syracuse Chiefs, who took both ends of a doubleheader from the Columbus Jets, 4-3 and 3-2. Syracuse gained ground, too, on the third and fourth-place teams as the Richmond Braves dropped an 8-7 decision in 11 innings to the Toledo Mud Hens and the Rochester Red Wings were beaten 9-4 by the Louisville Colonels. The league rejected' Thursday a bid by the financially troubled Bisons to remain in Buffalo, taking away the Buffalo franchise and awarding it to the parent Montreal Expos of the National League subject to approval of a "suitable city" to be named within 10 days. Montreal'officials said Thurs day night they are exammg several sites" in Canada, and By TOM SALADINO Associated press Sports Writer The last three weeks have been happy ones for Claude Osteen. something less than hilarious for Tom Seaver and an ob-solute nightmare for Steve Blass.

Seaver. 'the 1969 Cy Young Award winner, dropped his fourth straight. 3-1 to Atlanta. In the only other National League game scheduled, Houston romped over Montreal 8-0. sending the skidding Expos to their 11th consecutive loss.

Osteen. 8-4. tossed only 98 pitches and didn't go to a three-ball count during the entire game in limiting the hard-hitting Pirates to six hits. "It's a lot of fun when you pitch like that." Osteen said after 'winning his eighth decision in nine starts and lowering his earned run average to 2.48. 'I really enjoyed it.

Luesday night Osteen got all the support he needed from Wes Parker, who drove in three runs with a double and a sacrifice fly. Seaver. the 25-7 glamor boy of the Mets. rolled to six straight victories this season 16 over two seasons before dropping a 2-0 decision to Montreal. He then beat Philadelphia on a one-hitter on May 15 but hasn't won since.

"It's not fun to go home and know you've lost four games in a row." said Seaver, now 7-5. with a fine 2.31 era. Seaver was reached for a run-scoring single by Orlando Cepeda.

another tally came in on a passed ball and Rico Carty. the major leagues' top hitter at .435, slugged his 15th homer of the season. Asked what Carty hit, since the Braves' left fielder savs he in the ninth inning. Bobby Murcer followed with a game-tying double and New York went on to nip Rooker and the Royals 1-1 on Clarke's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 12th. "I knew what was going on," Rooker said of the I just wanted to get them out in the ninth.

I really didn't care if they got a hit. I wanted the game. "After the first hit. I was glad it was over. I just tried to reach back and get something on the ball if there was anything left." But Murcer.

after fouling off two bunt attempts, sent Clarke home from first with a one-hop shot to the scoreboard right center.
