A's 5, Twins 0 Hot-hitting Angel Mangual slugged a run-scoring triple and added two singles, then Oak Cannon Sparks LA Bufkus Hints He's Going to Retire By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer Norm Cash lost his glove, an argument and a ballgame all in one shot Monday night. Incensed over a "fair'' call on Dave May's double down the right field line in the eighth inning, the Detroit Tigers' first baseman threw down his glove in disgust and let umpire Bill Kunkel have it.

It did the Tigers no good, though they dropped a 6-4 decision to the Milwaukee Brewers. "I don't usually blow my cool out there, but this was too much." said Cash. "That ball was foul by six or eight inches. Kunkel was too close to the play. It skipped behind him before he could turn around." May's hit drove in the Brewers' winning runs and it was fair, insisted Kunkel.

Cash's temper display got him an early shower. Kunkel threw him out. In the only other American League game Monday night, the Oakland A trimmed the Minnesota Twins 5-4. Charlie Moore opened the Brewers' winning rally in the eighth with a walk and moved to second on a bouncer. Pedro runs to spark the 5-3 Los Angeles victory over the Cincinnati Reds, raising his major league-leading homer total to 14.

The runs batted in boosted his total to 41 tying him with Jeff Burroughs of the Texas Rangers for the major-league lead. In other National League games, the Chicago Cubs edged the New York Mets 2-1; the Montreal Expos trimmed the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2; the San Diego Padres clipped the Houston Astros 8-6, and the Philadelphia Phillies downed the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1. Cubs 2, Mets 1 Burt Hooton pitched a four-hitter and Billy Williams drove ALSO PUNT RETURN 6-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers. "My stick was funky, so I had to contribute something to the team." he quipped.

Bill Vukovich, who accounted for two of the hits and two RBIs. reflected a fresh team spirit for the Brewers, who a few seasons ago were more familiar with last place and the league's poorest gate receipts. "This is the first time in three years I haven't been confused at the plate," he said. "With the ball club in first place, it is nice to feel like you've finally contributed something." Vukovich 's two-run double gave starter Ed Sprague a 2-0 advantage in the second inning. The Tigers nullified it with a run in the third and a three-run rally in the fifth.

But Sprague (2-0) held Detroit hitless thereafter, retiring 10 batters in succession while Milwaukee scored two runs in each of the seventh and eighth frames. Pitching has traditionally been one of the Brewers' sore spots, frequently offsetting good hitting. "Any pitcher who can hold a team to four runs," Sprague said, "can be a big winner on this club. We've got a good hitting team." After Al Kaline hit a run-scoring single for Detroit in the third, the Tigers loaded the bases in the fifth to set up their rally. After singles put two Tigers on base.

Jim Northrup's potential double-play ball was muffed by shortstop Vukovich on a throw from second baseman Pedro Garcia, and Mickey Stanley was able to score from second as the ball rolled into left field. Kaline's sacrifice fly and Willie Horton's single then put Detroit ahead 4-2. It was Detroit's turn to provide unearned runs in the seventh. A Gary Sutherland error allowed Dave May to reach first, scoring Garcia. Don Money's sacrifice fly brought home another tally to tie the game.

Milwaukee scored its winning runs in the eighth on Charlie Moore's walk, Garcia's intentional walk, Tim Johnson's bases-loading single, and May's two-run double off reliever and loser John Hiller (5-3). Tiger first baseman Norm Cash threw his glove to the ground, appealed heatedly that May's crucial hit was foul, and was ejected from the game. "I don't usually blow my cool. But this was too much. That ball was foul by six, eight inches." Cash insisted, saying the hit had skipped behind umpire Bill Kunkel "before he could turn around." A ball that "is fair at first base" is fair thereafter, "no matter where it lands beyond first base," Kunkel said.

Sprague said he had provided Detroit's third inning with "some real bad pitches," and wrote off the Tiger's two unearned runs in the fifth as bad luck. "Those things are going to happen," he said. "You can't do anything about that." "That double Davey May hit was our break," he observed. "You have to take advantage of your breaks and not let it bother you when the other team gets breaks."

Meanwhile, in Chicago, Bears' officials, including George Halas. long-time owner of the club and now board chairman, said they had no indication of Butkus' retirement plans. "I haven't talked with him in a while." said the venerable Halas.

"and I don't know anything about him retiring. If he has done it. he has done it without informing us.1' Dan Desmond, the club's director for press, radio and television news, said he was unaware of Butkus' future plans. The powerful 6-foot-3, 245-pound Butkus, the Bears' No. 1 draft choice in 1965 after an outstanding collegiate career at the University of Illinois, was a member of the Associated Press' All-NFL team six times, including five straight seasons from 1968-1972.

He played in eight consecutive Pro Bowl games. Last season he saw limited action because of his ailing knee.

The owners said the players were calling for anarchy and injecting "double jeopardy" by attempting to have collective bargaining cover issues which also will be open to individual player-club contract talks. Bill Curry, association president, said in New York Monday that the player demands are realistic.

He also said the association would welcome the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service be brought into negotiations, as requested by management, but not at this time. "We were admonished and chastised for making proposals that would destroy a system that has worked for 54 years," said Curry. "We're saying the NFL can work without being an unregulated monopoly." Curry, a center for the Houston Oilers, said, "The real argument is whether what we're talking about can lead to anarchy and the destruction of football. Nothing could be further from the truth." He said: "We would welcome the FMCS into our talks but our attitude is that the mediator must come in at the proper stpe."

"It was important to get two players from the expansion who are marketable." Fitzsimmons said after the draft Monday. "That's not to say we are tak- ing them just to trade them. But if the players we have don't do the things we are looking for.

then we have other directions we can take." The Hawks are loaded with players as a result of the deal which sent "Pistol" Pete Mara-vich to the new franchise in New Orleans: Atlanta will get six players over three years. The first installment was Meminger and Kauffman, chosen by the Hawks from the players made available to New Orleans by the 16 other established NBA teams. As part of tje deal.

"Meminger was pleased at the news that he would be coming to Atlanta after three seasons with the New York Knicks. i "I consider it a compliment that Atlanta took me as the No.

I guard in the expansion draft," JVIeminger said in a telephone interview from his New York apartment. "I feel with Pete Jvlaravich gone, now they need a' guard who can be a playmaker and floor leader. I just hope I can come down there and help win a few more games." Coach Red Holzman said: did a lot of things for us. "We had to protect ourselves Ihe best we could. I think it's a tcedit to him that he was the itt'st guard chosen.

I think he's a heckuva player. We're going to miss him." Kauffman could not be reached for comment. Meminger. who played college ball at Marquette, is a speedy playmaker who had his best scoring season last year, averaging 8.3 points a game. 'Kauffman.

KRAUS Insurance Agency Since 1909 205C S. Chestnut Inez Kraus Ph. 384-2434 Kay Kraus WASHINGTON (AP)-The National Football League Players Association has expanded its contract demands on management to 90, including the elimination of the sudden-death overtime and punt rules scheduled to go into effect next season.

The union told the NFL Management Council, in a letter dated May 16, that the two rules subject the players to unnecessary and undue risk of injury. The new rules call for one 15-minute overtime period in the event the regulation game ends in a tie and restricts players from leaving the line of scrimmage until after the ball is kicked. The 33 new demands, following 57 earlier ones, call for earlier retirement, damages for cutting off the players' insurance plan, opposition to investigations of players and establishment of a joint management-player committee on safety and rules.
