irate' Three Indians Injured in Collision in Outfield Nats Whipped 6-3 By Steve Dunning WASHINGTON (AP) It might have been the shortest homer on record. It could cost Cleveland more than the one run Washington received for it. The Senators' Tom McCraw looped a ball into short terfield in the fourth inning Monday and three Cleveland players charged after it. But none got to the ball. Leftfielder John Lowenstein, centerfielder Vada Pinson a and shortstop Jack Heidemann collided and stunned each other as McCraw circled the bases for the homerun, Pinson Suffers Cut "It was like a deck of cards, one went down and the others followed," said Pinson after Cleveland defeated Washington 6-3.

"'Lowenstein dived for the ball and clipped Heidemann who did a flip. I was reaching down for the ball and Heidemann's shoe caught me in the face and his cleat cut my jaw." Pinson suffered eight stitches to his and will undergo a precautionary eye test today. He said although the cleat cut him on the jaw, the shoe hit him above the eye. Lowenstein and Heidemann, both suffering leg injuries, were admitted overnight at Doctors Hospital for observation.

The 155-pound fireballer, working in relief of Bert Blyleven after singles by Ken McMullen and John Stephenson put the Twins in a deep hole with nobody out, fanned Billy Cowan, Ken Berry and Jim Fregosi to end the game.

The 39-year-old righthander, who normally falls off to first base side of the infield when he pitches overhanded, has started hurling with a arm motion against righthanders. The new delivery proved successful Monday night as helped pitch--and bat-the lies past the Cincinnati 3-2. Win Four in Row "Last year I was 1-6 when tried the sidearm and I four in a row," Bunning "This year I'm 1-6 and you Bids Offered For Purchase Of Canonero Triple Crown.

$4 Million Offered Pedro Baptista, who races BALTIMORE (AP) Canonero II, surprise winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, was scheduled to take a "victory" walk in front of the Pimlico stands today as a tug of war appeared to be develloping for his services. Meanwhile Canonero, who was to depart for New. York Thursday for the June Belmont Stakes, appeared to be facing steadily dwindling opposition for the third leg of the the colt in the name of his sonlaw, Edgar Caibett, said he would be in Miami Thursday to discuss a $4 million bid from a Florida syndicate for the $1,200 yearling. And the Venezuelan government, which controls racing in the colt's home country, reportedly was interested in buying the horse to spur interest in breeding in the South American nation. "The government officials have said they would like to keep him at home," a spokesman said Monday, "to spur interest in breeding created by Canonero in the Derby and Preakness.

"But I doubt if the government can match the offer of the people in Miami," he continued. "If the government offers would anything be less, poor Mr. r. Baptista a businessman to accept it." Would Keep 4 Shares Baptista, a Caracas businessman, said he would have to retain four shares in any syndication, keep any earnings from the Belmont Stakes, with the horse running under the original ownership in the Belmont. Canonero II, with a chance to become the first Triple Crown winner since Citation in 1948, has scared off quite a bit of position for the final leg.

Jim French, runner up in the Derby and third the Preakness, appears to be the only certain repeater from the previously beaten fields. Eastern Fleet, runner-up by lengths in the Preakness as Canonero II set a Pimlico track record of 1:54 for 1 3-16 miles, is still a question mark. Other possibilities for the Bel who mont include Good Behaving, would be an entry with Jim French for trainer Johnny Campo; Bold Reasoning, unbeaten winner of the recent Withers Stakes; Run The Gantlet and On Your Toes. Class A Records Split try anything to break streak like that." Bunning checked the Reds on five hits in eight innings as he halted a personal six-game losing skein. He now is 2-6.

When asked why he didn't continue to throw with the sidearm motion last year, Bunning said, "'That gets old too. You simply have to try to mix them up. He said that the sidearm delivery gives him "a great follow through." At the plate, Bunning swatted a home run in the sixth inningthe seventh homer of his career -and put the Phillies ahead 1-0 in the third inning with a sacrifice fly. "Want to know what my biggest thrill of the night was?" Philadelphia Manager Frank Lucchesi asked. "When 1 I peaked around the edge of the dugout after Bunning hit the home run and saw his whole family on their feet and cheering wildly for him." Family Watches Game Itles, recalled from the minors over the weekend, stroked the decisive single.

Johnson Resumes Play Alex Johnson, benched for two games by Angels' Manager Lefty Phillips because of his lacklustre play, returned to the lineup and poked one hit in four trips to the plate. The Red Sox widened their East Division lead over secondplace Baltimore to games, coming from behind on George Scott's two-run double in the fifth and then staving off the Tigers with the help of a sensational catch by left fielder Carl Yastrzemski, With one on and two out in the seventh, Yastrzemski raced to the wall in left center and made a leaping stab of Willie Horton's long drive against the scoreboard, robbing the Detroit slugger of a potential game tying extra base hit. Horton slammed a two-run homer off Ray Culp, 4-2, in the fourth to give the Tigers a 2-1 edge, but Scott's two-out double in the fifth scored Luis Aparicio and Reggie Smith, sending former Cy Young Award winner Dean Chance down to his sixth loss in as many decisions. White Hits 7th Homer Roy White poled his seventh homer of the season--a two-run shot on a 3-0 pitch in the first inning and Gene Michael slapped two run-producing singles to lead the Yankees past the Orioles. Catcher Elrod Hendricks hit a two -run homer for the Orioles, but his error at the plate in the eigth enabled New York to draw away with two unearned runs.

Mel lemyre picked up the victory, his fourth against one setback, with eighth inning relief help from Jack Aker. Home runs by John Lowenstein and Hawk Harrelson staked the Indians to an early 4-0 lead and they held off Washington in a game marked by a jarring collision between left fielder Lowenstein, center fielder Vada Pinson and shortstop Jack Heideman that forced all three to the sidelines. They ran together chasing Tom McCraw's looping fly ball to left center in the fourth inning and it went for an insidethe park homer. Paul Casanova homered for the Senators in the ninth off winner Steve Dunning.

The record was assigned to the class that the school was or should have been at the time the record was made.
