Oct. 4, 1981 ast first crowns Brewers, Expos Milwaukee will face Yanks Astros back in as Reds lose playoff berth for the first time in the franchise's 13-year history. "1 have no idea who we're going to pitch against the Yankees," Rodgers said. "We're just going to enjoy this one for awhile.

This is the way we've been winning all year, with Rollie coming in and closing the door." "This is the topper. This is tops for me," said Fingers, who starred on three World Series championship teams with the Oakland's A in the 1970s. "This is like I remember in Oakland, with guys throwing champagne around. This what it is suppose to be like." After the final catcher Ted Simmons rushed to the mound, embraced Fingers and lifted him in a bear hug. They tumbled to the ground and were joined within seconds by hugging, back-slapping SeeAL, Page6B By The Associated Press Paul Molitor, nicknamed the "igniter" because of his penchant for starting rallies, said he and the rest of the Milwaukee Brewers never doubted that this would be their day.

Molitor drew a walk from Detroit pitching ace Jack Morris leading off the Milwaukee eighth inning yesterday, triggering a two-run comeback. Gorman Thomas capped it with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly that scored the go-ahead run, and the Brewers held on to defeat the Tigers 2-1, clinching the American League East "Second Season." Milwaukee will now open a best-of-5- divisional championship series at home Wednesday night against the New York Yankees, champions of the first half. 'We haven't been a rah-rah club. We're more laid back," said Molitor, soaked with champagne, in the "I'm always concerned when we lose when it doesnt mean anything for the playoffs," Virdon said as champagne corks popped in the clubhouse despite yesterday's defeat. Bob Welch took the victory and probably won himself the opportunity to pitch the third mini-playoff game.

He went six innings, allowing just three hits and one run with no walks and four strikeouts before departing. The Dodgers had finished a half-game ahead of Cincinnati before the baseball strike and thus were an automatic entry into the mini-series. BRAVES 4, REDS 3 Bob Horner slammed a pair of home runs, drove in three runs and scored the winning run on second baseman Ron Oester's eighth-inning throwing error as Atlanta eliminated Cincinnati in the NL West. See NL, Page 6B The Montreal Expos locker room dripped with beer and champagne the drinks of commoners and kings and all-star catcher Gary Carter sounded the warning: "Philadelphia beware." The Expos were kings yesterday after two frustrating seasons as commoners, clinching the National League East second season title with a 5-4 victory over New York. Meanwhile, Houston lost a 7-2 verdict to Los Angeles but captured the NL West crown when Atlanta defeated Cincinnati 4-3.

The Astros host the Dodgers in a 5-game series beginning Tuesday. The Expos meet the Phillies in a 5-game series beginning Wednesday with the first two games in "Now it's back up to Montreal," said Carter, his hair matted to his forehead by champagne. "I don't care how cold it is; we're going to American League Brewers' jubilant locker room. "But if you could have checked our eyeballs in the dugout, you could have seen the intensity. We weren't going to let this one slip away.

We were too close. "We got two runs out of two bunts and a walk," he said. "We went from Bambies' Bombers to Buck's What-ever's, but sometimes that's what you have to do against a pitcher as good as Jack Morris." Rollie Fingers. 6-3, who leads the majors in saves with 28, earned the victory with innings of shutout relief as the Brewers earned a National League beat the heck out of the Phillies (who won the first half)." Wally Johnson, a rookie who has been with the club for less than a month, drove in the winning runs yesterday with a two-run triple in the seventh inning. Johnson's hit bounced at the warning track in right-center field and hit the wall below the 396-foot sign.

DODGERS 7, ASTROS 2 'Backing in hasn't anything, to do with plavoffs," Houston manager Bill Virdon said after his team and Cincinnati were defeated. "1 think we had to win that last game in Cincinnati to reach the playoffs." vs9 hi mini cwmm Weaver rusty, but effective Methodical Wildcats rip M-E, 24-0 PAUL ABRAMOWITZ Johnson City football coach Chuck Gottfried isn't an easv man to please. You'd think he would have been delighted by his team's perfect record through the first three games. But not Chuck. No: way.

It takes something very special to satisfy the man. And his Wildcats provided such an event. esterdav afternoon, defeating Maine-Endwell 24 0 in a Division II Southern Trails League contest at Green Field. "I'm finally glad our offense came together in the second half and we cut out the mistakes," Gottfried said of his 4-0 club. "I haven't been a nnrA miu tn live U'it thp nasi few weeks.

I was Chicago suburb. "I was very frustrated," said Weaver. "I missed with a lot of punches. He's a very good defensive fighter tougher than I thought he was." But many ringsiders felt that Tillis was too concerned with defense, that he didn't go after the title. "If he would have tried for a knockout in the late rounds, I probably would have knocked him out," said Weaver.

"I was tired but he was more tired." In the last two rounds, Tillis appeared exhausted, often opening his mouth and gulping for breath. "The layoff definitely hurt me," said Weaver. "I was very rusty. My determination put me through." Weaver stalked the elusive Tillis from the opening bell to the final gong. "I was hitting him with three of four punches at a time," said Tillis.

But the referee and judges obviously didn't feel he was hitting Weaver often enough. In the first fight, the mauling Hamsho kept sticking out his tongue and vugging at Hagler. "I wanted him to stick it out so I could knock his teeth down his throat and wipe away that silly grin," said the champion called Marvelous Marvin. See ARGUELLO, Page 6B From Press wire services Mike Weaver was frustrated and ring-rusty, but determination carried him to a victory in defense of the World Boxing Association heavyweight title last night against James "Quick" Tillis, who literally ran like a well-oiled machine. Weaver, fighting for the first time in almost a year, chased Tillis for most of the 15 rounds but caught him often enough, especially with body punches, to earn a unanimous 15-round decision.

Earlier, in the first fight on a championship double-header card, Marvin Hagler ripped Mustafo Ham-sho's face into a bloody mask, then pounded the Syrian-born challenger into submission in the 11th round to retain the undisputed middleweight championship. In Atlantic City, Alexis Arguello, scoring unmercifully with a powerful left jab, retained his World Boxing Council lightweight title by knocking out Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini in the 14th round. But the big news was Weaver's victory over Tillis. "I thought I had him," Tillis said after the fight, but he obviously was hurt by the fact he didn't throw enough punches. Asked about his running, he said, "Running? Call it boxing." Weaver's victory in a generally dull fight before about 8,000 fans at the Horizon Arena in this A.

WW I YY I upset because I felt we weren playing to our po- tpntial nn offense. The avers had to listen to my crap all week." The Wildcats had to listen to a bit more at half-time, leading 6-0.

Weird bounces pave way for Colgate Top 20 report took four seconds justified the other 59 minutes in which the Red Raiders did everything with the football but send it by parcel post, and which BU did nothing. The Terriers gained just one first down in the second half, never got past their own 38 and managed just 72 yards of offense and did not complete a pass in the half. Colgate, on the other hand, pushed and shoved up the slippery field all day, mainly because of the wonderful poise and passing of Calabria.

On the heels of a 264-yard day against Cornell last week, he completed 20 of 38 passes for 260 yards in conditions not fit for man or beast. Most of his passes were flung toward his tight ends cutting across the middle after Calabria had rolled the opposite way. "At halftime we knew we were going to. have to pass if we were going to move the ball," said tight end Mike Kovach, who had six catches for 113 yards. "The pass was working because their linebackers don't drop back, they come up on everything.

See COLGATE, Page 5B By GEOFF HOBSON HAMILTON The only way to get to KnAy Kerr Stadium here is by backroads knife through small towns, brown fields and multi-colored woods. Colgate took its own backroads route yesterday, a sloppy journey that ended in a last-minute 21-14 victory over Boston University before a damp crowd of about 5,100. The backroads opened with 1:20 left in a 14-14 game when a BU punt popped straight into the air and traveled only nine yards to the Terrier 34. It ended with 58 seconds left, when split end Tom Rogers caught a deflected pass intended for tailback Rich Erenberg in the end zone. "It was designed to go to the back," said freshman quarterback Steve Calabria, who threw the blessed 13-yarder.

"I saw Rich cutting across and tried to get it to him, but the ball got hit. Tom was running a little post pattern behind him and was there." Defensive back Al DeLuca was draped over Erenberg, and they both swatted it back to Rogers.

Syracuse's slumbering offense, silent for three quarters yesterday, woke up just in time for the Orangemen to salvage a 17-17 football tie with Maryland. SU quarterback Dave Warner completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Willie Sydnor with 16 seconds remaining and then tossed a 2-point conversion to tight end Marty Chalk as the Orangemen avoided defeat. Syracuse (1-3-1) didn't advance beyond midfield on its own until the fourth quarter, but then scored twice in the last 6: 25.

But Warner was stopped short of the goal on a 2-point conversion run.

"Warner executed nicely, but someone just came in from the back side and got him.".
