Take the fourth game of the World Series at Dodger Stadium yesterday after- noon, for example. The Yankees beat the Dodgers, 4-2, to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven tournament. They played their fourth straight game without making an error and they got another first-rate pitching Job from Ron Guidry, a slightly-built (5-11, 160), 27-year-old left-hander. Guidry, probably the Yankees' best pitcher at the end of the season 'when he won eight of his last nine starts, stopped the Dodgers' all right-handed lineup on four hits.

One was on a ball deflected away from his shortstop by his third baseman and another was a ground-rule double into the left-field seats by, of all people, the L.A. relief pitcher, Rick Rhoden. New York also got a good defensive play out of left-fielder Lou Piniella in the fourth of his glove and threw it to the infield, and it was only then that most of the fans knew he made the catch. L.A. manager Tom Lasorda left himself vulnerable to second-guessing when he started left-hander Doug Rau instead of Don Sutton, who will pitch the fifth game today.

Rau had not started a game in almost three weeks (September 27) and had pitched only one inning since then (Oct. 7 in the playoffs). He also had a sore left shoulder. He lasted only one inning and three batters. See YANKS' on Page H-2 inning.

Ron Cey smashed a line drive that appeared to be headed for the left-field seats slightly to the right of the 360-foot sign. Piniella had backed up as far as he could and at the last instant leaped high and caught the ball about 15 to 18 inches above the fence. Cey had already made his turn at first base before he and most of the 55,595 spectators knew that Piniella had caught the ball. Piniella seemed almost indifferent. "I wanted to be sure I had the ball," he said.

He nonchalantly plucked the ball out "TV jp if -v trf jim murray I 1 i 'jS 1 vm. JI Reggie's a happy Yankee By KEN PETERS LOS ANGELES (AP) It has not been the happiest of times for Reggie Jackson. His play in the American League playoffs and the first couple of games of the World Series was undistinguished. He became embroiled in a running feud with New York Yankees manager Billy Martin. But yesterday, all was right for the controversial slugger.

After leading the Yankees to a 4-2 victory over Los Angeles in Game Four of the World Series with a double and a home run, Jackson said that: Martin should be given the Nobel Peace Prize for managing the squabbling Yankees. He, Jackson, was looking forward to playing next year in New York and was proud to be a Yankee. And he thought the press has generally been fair with him. It just goes to show how a couple of base hits can improve your outlook on life. It was a mellow, smiling Jackson who answered questions genially for 20 minutes after the Yankees had taken a 3-1 lead in the series.

When Martin took Jackson out of the lineup for defensive specialist Paul Blair in the ninth inning, the manager greeted his right fielder warmly and See REGGIE'S on H-2 Victims of harmony LOS ANGELES Take a call, Miss Tulsa. Get me Walter O'Malley, chairman of the board of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Stop with the crying, they're doing their best. "Dear Walter: "Walter, I've been thinking about that team of yours and I've come to the conclusion it's a victim of harmony, serenity and brotherly love. It's torn by sension.

"I mean, look at it! No wonder they can't win! Everybody's speaking to everybody else. They're a bunch of guys who wouldn't kick a wheelchair downstairs or set fire to a cat. I mean, I've seen monasteries where there was more tension in the air. I bet these fellows go over to each others' houses and borrow sugar and baby sit. "Walter, can't you go out and find a few guys who would throw a brick through cathedrals or who can't even get along with their own dogs.

Find a guy who'd bust up a novena, pull the wings off a canary or tell a drowning man to stop making all that noise because he was waking up the kids? How about a guy who got caught setting fire to an orphanage? "I mean, ask yourself: what's 'togetherness' get you? I'll tell you. 'Togetherness' pops up with the bases loaded. 'Togetherness' takes a called third strike. 'Togetherness' hits into a double-play with the bases loaded. "You got to get a bunch of guys who get along like the crew of a pirate ship.

Guys who are afraid to go to sleep with their shoes off or their knives put away. Troublemakers win "Who wins World Series now? The bluebirds of Happiness? Or guys with tattooes which say well, never mind what they say. "Walter, you got to get a team where the outfield isn't speaking to the manager, the infield isn't speaking to the outfield, the catcher isn't speaking to either of them, the pitchers are playing out their options and the manager's idea of pre-game strategy is to tell the cleanup man to kiss his well, I don't want to say it, Walter, but you know what I mean. "I mean, Quantrill's Raiders would win the pennant nowadays. "I know how it is with your club and the Dodger organization.

You have a thing against I mean, Richie Get rid of him! Who cares if he hits 30 home runs, drives in 100. We want to make sure his tie's straight and he gets to Mass on time and eats with the right fork. We don't truck with troublemakers, right, Walter? "Well, Walter, I've been thinking and my idea is you might get a helluva team out of a parole board. Look for guys who not only flunked Dale Carnegie courses but slugged the teacher. Get a whole bunch of guys who tell the press the manager is a psychotic jerk who ought to be committed.

"You know what's wrong with your managers? They're too polite to the front office. Get a manager who has no respect for property, even if the property is the team. "You take the manager of the team that's making a monkey out of your team, all those nice polite guys who say 'Thank you' and take off their hats in elevators and all. "Alfred Manuel Martin is the type of guy who, if you saw a brawl on a streetcorner, and he was within a mile of it, you'd know who started it. Billy Martin could start a fight in a convent.

"He was brought up in the streets. He was kind of ugly, had this big nose and a kind of mouse face and the old man, who chopped lettuce for a living, ran out on him and his mother early. Where Billy grew up in Berkeley, there weren't any of those professors or Nobel Prize people. There were just guys who called him "Punk!" and threatened to rub his nose in it. He got very handy with his fists but he wasnt much on the schoolbooks.

He was just a runty kid who would fight a Doberman Pinscher for a bone and he See JIM MURRA on Page H-2 UPi Phots UPlphom This was the catch the broke the Dodgers backs yesterday.

The victory put the Yankees just one game away from winning the World Series. 28-26 win for Southern Miss short Bow rally and FG 1 "Il 1 sis? By DICK FISHBACK Advertiser Sportt Writer The University of Hawaii played 59 minutes and 48 seconds of amazing football last night, then finally ran out of good fortune and dropped a 28-26 decision to Southern Mississippi at Aloha Stadium.

The Bows had made an incredible fourth-quarter comeback and place-kicker Curtis Goodman had a chance to win with 12 seconds remaining in the game. But the combination of a high snap from center, a slight slip by Goodman and a partial deflection by Golden Eagles defensive back Hanford Dixon left the 27-yard field goal attempt about two feet under the crossbar. Thus did the Bows miss by an eyelash what would have been their biggest win of the year. It was a disappointing finish to a game that saw Hawaii take advantage of every mistake Southern Mississippi made in the first half (four lost fumbles and an interception), using some of them to keep the visitors at bay offensively and others to set up UH scores. By halftime the Bows were in front, 13-7, leaving most of a crowd of 26,474 in shock, awaiting the rejuvenation of the opposition after intermission.

And led by second-unit quarterback Dane McDaniel, the Golden Eagles began to live up to the expectation, scoring 21 points in the third quarter and stopping the only serious UH drive with an interception in the end zone by Mike Crenshaw. And with a tidy 28-13 lead and momentum going for the Golden Eagles, the stadium crowd began to despair. But no, the Bows weren't ready to roll over.
