Horton's three-run blast in the sixth inning supported a strong three-inning relief performance by JOHN HILLER. "I don't know what the pitch was," Horton said.

"I was just looking for a base hit. I hit the ball harder my last time up." Horton has six home runs 2.77 Ir Auoclolod Proil JOE HOERNER came out of the bullpen and gave the New York a lift. Trouble is, he pitches for Kansas City. The reliever astonished almost everyone in Royals Stadium by hitting two consecutive batters to help the Yankees forge a 5-4 victory last night. "I never did that before in my life," said Hoerner after his second hit batsman forced in the Yankees' go-ahead run in the seventh inning.

New York manager BILL VIRDON was just as surprised. "Well, that's a new way for my club to win," he said. "I've never seen Hoerner do that, and I've seen him pitch a lot. That's the way baseball goes when you're going bad, you find all kinds of ways to lose them and when you're winning, you find all kinds of ways to win them." Kansas City manager JACK McKEON found Hoerner's performance hard to believe, too. "I never lost one like that before," he said.

The Chicago White Sox routed Milwaukee, 10-3; Detroit nipped Minnesota, 4-3; Oakland trimmed Cleveland, 3-1 and California blanked Baltimore 2-0. The Yankees trailed, 4-3, when they rallied in the seventh inning. With two on, Hoerner came into the game and issued an intentional walk to LOU PINI-ELLA to load the bases. CHRIS CHAMBLISS forced HORACE CLARKE at the plate but BOBBY MURCER knocked in the tying run with a sacrifice fly. Horner nicked RON BLOM-BERG on a 3-2 pitch to reload the bases.

On his next toss, ho hit GRAIG NETTLES to force in the Yankees' winning run. Both pitches hit the batters in the back. The Royals lost despite three homers off GEORGE MEDICII. Rookie TONY SO-LAITA'S two-run shot tied the score, 3-all in the fourth and they grabbed a 4-3 lead on COOKIE ROJAS' homer. VADA PINSON had homered in the first after the Yanks jumped to a 3-0 edge.

Gary Roosevelt junior stick-man Derrick Burnett cracked two marks the :14.4 high hurdle, doing :14.3, and the game, called it "the best I've thrown this season.

I had good rhythm and I was not throwing against my body. Before, I was pitching five innings and I felt like I had gone through a sausage grinder. Tonight my arm didn't feel tired at all. That shows you what good rhythm will do." It was the Astros' fourth straight victory and their eighth in the last 11 games. 8-0 lead in the third inning, gave up three home runs but only three other hits as the Sox clouted the Brewers for their ninth victory in 12 games.

The knuckler "was moving real well for me," Wood said. "I was ahead of the hitters most of the way and they were hitting it into the ground. I used it about 75 per cent of the time."

"It's one you can't -throw too often and get away with it up in the strike zone," reliever Watt said of the pitch he threw past JIMMY WYNN of Los Angeles with the bases loaded and two out in the ninth inning last hight to preserve the Phils' 2-1 victory over the Dodgers.

"I've had better stuff as far as 1 0 i is concerned," said Reuss, who scattered eight hits and posted his first triumph of the season in the Pirates' 4-2 decision over the Atlanta Braves. WILLIE MONTANEZ delivered a home run and a key single for the Phillies and Watt's clutch relief pitching preserved Ron Schueler's first victory of the season and the Phils' first over Los Angeles after seven consecutive setbacks dating back to last Aug. 11. "It was the worst pitch all night," said Phils' manager DANNY OZARK, "but it was great. It spun up there and said, 'Kiss but he didn't.

Phew! I guess it kind of jammed him." A four-run burst off Atlanta's RORIC HARRISON in the third inning enabled Pitts-fa to turn back the Braves. Reuss started the uprising with a walk, went to third on RICHIE HEBNER'S double and scored on AL OLIVER'S infield out. "I've thrown better on occasions, for instance in Chicago," Reuss said. Did Reuss really mean Chicago? The city where he allowed 10 runs and eight hits in just two innings last month against the Cubs? "Yes, Chicago," he insisted after going the distance last night on a nine-hitter. "I had much better velocity and what you would call stuff in Chicago, but it was a windy day and I got pounded," he recalled.

"The difference tonight was that I kept the ball down and made them hit it on the ground. Things have a way of evening, out like that," he mused. "It's like a batter who hits a line drive right at somebody and then gets a base-hit on a little blooper off the end of the bat." DOUG RADER'S two-run single in the seventh inning broke a 1-1 tie and CLAUDE OSTEEN topped St. Louis on eight hits as Houston defeated St. Louis, 4-1.

BOB WATSON and LEE MAY singled to begin the rally against ALAN FOSTER and, after an intentional walk to MILT MAY loaded the bases, Rader drilled his single for a 3-1 lead. MIKE ARM AN replaced Foster and TOMMY HELMS singled for another run. LEE MAY hit his fifth homer of the season in the fourth inning, wiping out a 1-fl St. Louis lead.

And nobody knows more than Riley when a track kid is ready. "I had to keep him out," Riley said, casually. "I had to keep him out about three weeks. I'll tell you one Riley relates with his championship enthusiasm, "he's the best quartermiler in the Watkins was that last year. But, with North Central priming to defend its 1972 state championship, Watkins pulled a hamstring.

It happened in the sectional 220 trial. He was out. There went North's mile relay team, too. This spring Watkins pulled a muscle in his other leg. Riley rested him, then eased him into shape.

Watkins shocked Tech coach Bruce McGeath April 26. He ripped off a :48.5 quarter fastest ever in Marion County against Tech. Watkins did "only" :48.8 when he tied the Tech Invitational quarter mark in nippy weather last night. Anchoring the half-mile batoners and trailing Tech's strong Greg Tech several yards, Watkins barreled into what appeared to be a dead heat with Tuck. He was coming on strong.

But Tech won with 1:30.9. North Central, too, ran 1:30.9 for second! The race to the championship, nip and tuck much of the way, became North Central property 110 to 82 over talented but thin Arlington. North won only three events but placed men in 12 of 15, doubling in the high jump and discus and other events. North appears to be too deep for the area's best teams Arlington, Lawrence and Tech but Riley says: "That sectional (at North Central) is going to be a real fight between Arlington, Tech, lis and Lawrence."

"He led me all the way," said Lawrence ace Matt Phillips, who was second both times. Arlington's Elery Dixon, who won the 100 in 10.0, nipping Tuck, equaled the 220 mark of :21.7. Dixon anchored Arlington's milers to a 3:22.1 victory, one-tenth off the meet mark, thanks much to Jim Bell's robust third leg. Bell overcame a 10-yard deficit.

North's Bob Einterz upped the 143-2 discus standard with 150-9 and Mark Johnson of Lawrence broke the old record" with 144-4. Breathing cotton and punishing himself into shape, Ar-1 i 1 0 's Dean Berhmann churned out a 9:33.9 2-mile, unofficially the best-ever by a city 2-miler. Behrmann won by more than 50 yards in his first meet after becoming eligible. Royce Turner gave Lawrence a 6-6 meet high jump mark. Arlington's Joe Ben also broke the old record of 6-5 with 6-6 for second.

Considerably short of full strength, Lawrence missed Andy Dick, who has the area's 57-2 shot put best, and injured Ty Dickerson, a good long jumper and mile relay-er. Dick has a strep throat. "We had three second-stringers in the mile relay," said Riley (North placed third). "We'll put Derek Laing and Watkins in the mile relay."

The Celtics took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series with a 95-83 victory at home last night, and immediately trained their sights on tomorrow's fourth game, also at Boston. The Bucks hardly knew what hit them in the first period last night. The Celtics stunned them by hitting 13 of 21 shots from afield and building a 32-11 lead shortly before the end of the quarter. "The press did it," Boston coach TOM HEINSOHN said.

"Everybody worked on the press out there. That's our offensive weapon. We got a good start in the first period and then we played super defense." That's exactly what the Utah Stars need tonight some super defense. There is still some question about which Star will draw the unenviable assignment of guarding New York Nets superstar JULIUS EKVING. but Stars coach JOE MULLANEY has at least decided on a strategy.

"We'll try to help out on him and deny him the ball." Mullnncy said before tonii'lu's second game in the best-of-seven scries for the American Basketball Association championship (8 o'clock, channel 4). If Militancy's charges can't follow through on that assign MIKE CRAWFORD of Terre Haute South has run the fastest 220 this year in high school track competition. Crawford went the distance in 21.6 seconds yesterday in the Vigo Country track meet. BERLIN ROWE, basketball coach for seven years at Muncie Central High School, has resigned to take over as student activities coordinator. Rowe compiled a 95-69 record at Central, including three sectional titles, one regional crown and one 1 a championship.

When the New Orleans team opens its first NBA season next fall it will have "PISTOL" PETE MARAV1CII as box office insurance, but it was expensive. The still nameless New Orleans franchise must surrender first-round draft choices to the Atlanta Hawks for the 1974 and 1975 player picks, and second-round choices in 1975 and 1976. Then they will swap choices with the Hawks in 1976 and 1977, if that's advantageous to the Pistol's former employers. In addition, Atlanta gets the first guard and forward selected by Now Orleans from the player pool created for expansion teams. FRED ROSEN FELD, president of the new club, said: "They'll tell us who to pick; we'll sign them, then turn them over to the Hawks."

Mail this coupon now or By LESTER KOELLING Bush Stadium, the home of the Indianapolis Indians, will be host to a rare event torn orrow afternoon when it combines the sights and sounds of baseball with a symphony pops concert, and a rather unique exhibition soft-ball game. The Indians and Denver Bears, who defeated the Tribe, 3-0, last night, will meet in a 2 p.m.

double-header, but at 12:30, the Iso-Metrics, a Softball team representing the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will clash with the Cincinnati Symphony Fanlastiques. On the Iso-Metric team will be Johnny Rutherford, who finished ninth in last year's 500-Mile Race and who conducted the Indianapolis Symphony in one number last year at Clowes Hall. The Fan-tastiqucs will counter with their own celcbrily, Mike Reld, defensive tackle for the Bengals and a former guest pianist for the Cincinnati Symphony. The Indianapolis Symphony will begin its concert at 1:45 and add musical quips throughout the first game, winding up with a presentation of classical and popular numbers brtween games of the twin bill. It is hoped that the music awaken Tribe hitters who Bears in the opener of their five-game series last night.

The two teams played an afternoon game today and will conclude their series Monday night. Jack Andujar, who was impressive in his last start, and Pat Darcy, who has gone farther than any other Tribe hurler nine innings will be the pitchers in the season's first twin bill. "We're just not hitting," moaned manager Vern Rapp again last night. That is very evident as the Indians have collected only 25 hits in their last four games and scored just 10 runs. "We'll make a few changes," added Rapp.

"For one thing, Ed Armbrister is going back in the lineup. I gave him a couple of days off because he had played all winter and most of the spring. His swing was getting a little lazy." Armbrister was called on to pinch-hit last night and responded with a line-drive single. That hit made his season average and put him in a tic with Joel Youngblood, Tom Spencer and Arturo De-Ficites for most hits on the club irt 14. Last night's Denver victory was the fifth straight for the Bears who had lost their first starts under their new manager, Frank Vi'vdi.
