IP ER BB SO Ellis SAN DIEGO (AP) Some suspected the Pittsburgh Pirates of complacency in April when the defending world champions lost 9 of their first 14 games under freshman manager Bill Virdon. Apparently that was an illusion. The Pirates have won 24 Jackie Hernandez. "I can't help believing we'll catch the Mets pretty soon," Miller said after he pitched two shutout innings of relief in Wednesday night's second game to gain his fourth victory in five decisions. Bob Johnson saved it for game that went to the 18th inning before Gene Alley drew a bases-loaded walk.

"Sometimes an older club can get complacent after it wins a championship," Virdon said, "but we don fit that category. In a way, we should be stronger. We of their last 31 starts and have pulled within 2 games of the front-place New York Mets in the National League East.

"We also started this season with two rather important players we didn't have at the start of last year." He referred to relief specialist Bob Miller and to shortstop seven.

GB 25 19 WASHINGTON (AP) After being snubbed on its "invitation" to Frank Sinatra, a congressional committee will now subpoenae the show business figure to tell what he knows about organized crime in sports. Rep. Claude Pepper, chairman of the House Select Committee on Crime, said Sinatra had agreed originally to appear Wednesday for testimony on his role as one-time vice president of Berkshire Downs race track in Hancock, Mass.

Pepper said Sinatra will now be subpoenead. Committee sources said the singer- actor would be called to testify on July 18. Sinatra was reported at races in England on Wednesday. The committee may not have had Sinatra, but it had two vocal witnesses on opposite sides of the track on the subject of legalized gambling. "People today do not view gambling as a matter of moral concern but primarily as a source of entertainment," said Howard "Howie the Horse" Samuels, head of New York City's Off-Track Betting Corp.

What happened? The Philadelphia Phillies, basement dwellers of the National League's East division, beat the Houston Astros 3-1, and thereby started winning after losing nine in row, and 19 of their last 21 games. The headline in the Philadelphia Inquirer, fourth estate aficionado of the team, read: "Strike Up The Band." Beneath the headline was a touching photo of a little boy watching with anxiety as his team fought off the bad Hous-tononians, then beaming when the win became theirs, and his. On their way to victory the Phillies waited catlike until the sixth inning, then jumped on Astros starter Jerry Reuss for their three runs. Steve Carlton and Darrell Brandon combined for a six hitter, and 10,712 witnesses in Veterans Stadium will swear they saw it. In that heroic sixth, Greg Luzinski, called "Bull" by his team mates, lined a big double to left, driving in Larry Bowa, who had stolen third, after a walk and a sacrifice and Don Money, who had walked.

"Our next guest is the vice president of the U.S. Lawn Tennis Federation who will, we hope, be president at the next meeting of that governing body of tennis.

Will you please, Mr. Tennis the honorable Foster Brooks!" The applause was polite as a man of distinguished mien with silver hair and striking gray beard rose to speak. He marched in majestic dignity to the dais, until he suddenly tripped, bounced off a chair, and, at the microphone, barely kept his head from falling into it. The diners gasped. Mr.

Tennis was drunk. "Lays and Gennlmnn," he mnnnured, obviously closing one eye to keep the room from whirling. "I have just come up the Hollyway Freewood to" he weaved slightly, struggled to remember what he was going to say, or indeed who was going to say, or indeed who and where he was. Mr. Tennis had obviously jumped the net once too often.

Not everyone knew it, but the gathering at the Dewar's Sports Celebrity Championship lunch at the Sheraton- Thursday's Garnet at the Greater Greensboro Open two years ago thought "We've got to get that guy out of here, he's plastered!" He always masquerades as a legitimate member of the sponsoring group, and the lurch to the speaking platform is always accompanied by the unwitting sponsor putting his hands to his head and groaning "Who asked him Brooks' secret was a drunk in my drinking days, but never an is that his "drunk" is unlike any other stage or screen drunk. Most of them play a happily and obliviously drunk and on the whole glad of it. Brooks plays" that character every man who's taken on one cocktail too many plays the guy who knows he's drunk but is trying not to let anybody else know it. His hiccups are not broad humor, they are almost tragedy, and this man standing up there in his tattered dignity has the elements of the bum trying to maintain elegance drawing on his gloves with holes in them as he's been half-carried, half -pushed out of the opera.
