By Associated Press The Oakland A's have had their fireworks turned off but they'll have something new when they return home from a disastrous road trip an exploding catcher. As if tilings weren't bad enough for the A's, whose C-4 loss to Baltimore Thursday night was their sixth straight since leaving home and dropped them 8 'A games behind Minnesota in the American League West; the Oakland city fire marshall revoked the license of the Athletics to handle the fireworks displays at the A's home contests. The action was taken because three grass fires during an Aug.

The frustration of the winless road trip boiled over Thursday night when catcher Frank Fernandez fired his batting helmet onto the screen behind home plate -and toward the press box to demonstrate his displeasure with a ruling by the official scorer.

But he's beginning his quest for sport's richest prize by giving both of them a lesson. Reasor, a 28-year-old former high school teacher in his second year on the PGA tour, fired a six-under-par 66 Thursday to take a one-stroke first round lead in the $300,000 Dow Jones Classic. That was seven strokes better than Palmer for whom he caddied during the 1966 Open in San Francisco and four better than Casper, this year's leading money winner and the sport's third million-dollar player.

"He's been a great help to me," Reasor said of Casper, -with whom he played 36 practice holes Tuesday. cisco, when he caddied for Palmer in the open in which Arnie lost a seven-stroke lead to Casper and the playoff the next day. Reasor got to know Casper better the following year while he was a student, golfer and an aspiring basketball player at Brigham Young. Their formal introduction came when Casper came to the campus to address the student body. Since then, they've been close friends and Reasor is following Casper's path by preparing to become a Mormon.

Most of the pre-tournament favorites were well off the pace.

The brewing controversy, which began last April came to a head this month when the seven blacks were not invited to play in the 1970 season. Formal charges of discrimination were brought by three of the seven against Schwartz-walder and his staff. The complaints were filed with the Syracuse and Oonondaga County Human Rights Commission.

Corbally and the university denied the charges. The chancellor admitted, however, that there had been misunderstandings between athletes and coaches.

He was thrown out of the game by umpire Larry Barnett, and, since the A's had used their other two catchers as pinch-hitters earlier, second baseman Dick Green had to finish up behind the plate. In other American League action, Minnesota downed Boston 5-2 and Milwaukee blasted Cleveland 14-2. In the National League, the New York Mets beat Atlanta 5- 1, the Chicago Cubs defeated San Diego 5-1, Philadelphia turned back Cincinnati 6-3, St. Louis took San Francisco 4-1 and Houston edged Montreal 5-4. Fernandez' eru ption somewhat overshadowed Mike Cuellar's 20th victory for the Orioles and Frank Robinson's emergence from a lengthy batting slump.

The race in the National League East tightened a bit as the Mets and Clubs won and both gained one-half game apiece on idle Pittsburgh. Jim McAndrew halted New York's three-game skid by firing a five-hitter ait Atlanta. Milt Pappas hurled a six-hitter as the Cubs whipped the Padres on the hitting of Glenn Beckert, who had double and three and Billy Williams, who stroked two doubles and a single and drove in two runs.

It was a day of contrasts for the pitching Perry brothers. Jim, 19-11, hurled the Twins past the Red Sox and socked two doubles in the process. Gaylord, 17-13, was the loser as the Cardinals and Bob Gibson, 19-5, beat the Giants on Jose Cardenal's two-run tie-breaking single. Deron Johnson slugged a two-run homer and Grant Jackson hurled 5 1-3 innings of scoreless relief in Philadelphia's victory over Cincinnati. Montreal's Mike Wegener retired the first 11 Houston batters before consecutive homers by, Jim Wynn'and John Mayberry started the Astros to victory.
