Boston holds a 2-1 edge in the best-of-7 Eastern Division final playoff. The Knicks, faced with the prospect of falling three games behind, pulled ahead early in the first quarter and never trail ed again. Sunday Game In Boston The series returns to Boston for a nationally-televised game Sunday afternoon. New York, which hit only 33 per cent of its field shots in absorbing a 112-97 drubbing last night, found the range with 12-for-22 performance that built a 28-19 spread at the end of one period. A run of 8 straight points, 4 by Barnett, broke 14-all tie and had the Knicks winging.

Another run of 7 points, in cluding 3 more by Barnett, in creased it to 49-34, and the Knicks led 51-41 at the half as Frazier scored 15 points and Barnett 14. Boston Closes Gap With Bradley scoring 10 points in the third quarter, the lead was 72-57 before Boston made a run for it and closed to 80-76 with 9.48 left. But Barnett, who finished with 20 points, scored the next basket and when Boston pulled within 82-78 Frazier scored. Boston last gasp came mo ments later when Bill Russell brought them within 84-80, but three points by Frazier and three by Bradley made it 90-80 and the Knicks were home free Frazier finished with 26 points and Bradley 18, 17 in the second half. Bradley also did a fine defensive job on Boston's high scoring John Havlicek, who managed only eight points.

BILLY CASPER CASPER LIKES BIRMRASH Masters' Leader Giving Rivals Goose Pimples By JIM CAFFRET Augusta, April 10 Bill Casper likes this week's rash better than last week s. This week at least for today it was a rash of birdies (six of them) which gave the mild-maa nered shot-maker from San Die go the first-round lead in the Masters tournament.

But last week it was a rash- the real kind, the hives which chased Casper from Miami and made him a somewhat doubtful starter for this test. Allergic To Petroleum "It's the chemical sprays they use on the course down there," Billy explained. "They're petro leum based and anything with a petroleum base gives me a tough time." The ugly rash had spread to all parts of Casper's body by this time last week. His joints were all stiff. "I've only been really sick three times in my life, and this was the worst ot them, on, man, was I sick," he moaned.

"But we (he and his sponsors) have it figured out now. We know the things I'm allergic to and I just won play any tour nament where these things are used." Keeps Strict Diet A cynic mentioned that they probably used a petroleum base spray in Texas where the United States Open is to be played this season. Casper replied, like said, I just won't play any tournaments where it's used. I can't take it. I don't ever want to be that sick again, or it might be the last time." Casper lives by a strict diet.1" "I can eat some of the meats they sell in super markets these days," he noted, "but I cannot eat any vegetables or fruit they sell.

"We have a special kind of vegetable and fruit that I'm not allergic to and it all I eat. Takes Food With Him "I have to be very careful what I eat or it could kill me. Everywhere I go to play I have to bring along my own supply of food because I can take any chances on anything you'd buy in a store. The rash is gone now, and the only signs left are a slight numbness in the tips of two fnigers on his right hand. "It doesn't affect my touch any, he smiled, confidently.

Last week's rash is gone. If this week's rash of birdies con- tinued for Casper, he's the best bet to win the masters.

Yesterday's 13-inning 2-to-l Oriole victory over Boston con firmed it.

A man's eyes can deceive him. What appeared from the cat bird seat in the press box to be a foot-wide foul off the bat of Frank Robinson became a dou ble under the 20-20 scrutiny of Emmett Ashford, the umpire closest to the play. That's Baseball We will clean off our glasses, umps. Obviously, we are not seeing things quite clear. But that's baseball Others, too, apparently had the same fault on yesterday's controversial ruling notably Ken Harrelson, next closest to the play.

The Red Sox first base man went straight up after Ash ford called Robinson line drive fair. "It hit right on the wood," said the American League um pire stationed behind Harrelson Nearly Bashed Ashford, of course, meant the whitewashed wooden strip imbedded in the grass beyond the skinned infield. It is called the foul line, but any ball hitting it is fair. "I had to get out of the way," Ashford added as an understatement, because Robinson's drive nearly made him twms. But I still saw it.

"I saw the ball hit the outside part of the wood," Robinson certified. "If that ball hits the F. Robinson's Double Followed By Powell's Single Wins 1st By JIM ELLIOT The Boston Red Sox have no area for appeal, but they left Baltimore last night convinced that the Orioles were given 2-to-l decision by one of the umpires in their 13-inning clash at tne Madium Frank Robinson doubled to right leading off the last of the 13th, then raced home on Boog Powell's single ripped to right, Frank easily beating Tony Con-igliaro's throw to snap a tit which had existed since tht third inning. Emmett Ashford was tht first-base arbiter, and Robinson's liner over first led to tht, biggest hassle of the young sea son, the Red Sox claiming the drive was foul by a couple of-feet as it hit the turf some 30 feet beyond the bag. Ashford Is Target Boston first baseman Ken Harrelson screamed at Ashford.

manager Dick Williams trotted from the dugout and raved for several minutes, and catcher Russ Gibson came down the lint to stick his face into Ashford's while uttering his disbelief. Ashford didn't back off an inch, let alone 2 feet, the play stood as called, and Powell then pulled a 1-2 pitch from loser; Juan Pizarro through the right side. Although none were out on Powell's drive, third base coach Billy Hunter waved Robinson home with the run which evened the clubs' season-opening two-game series. The Sox took tht first on Tuesday, 5-4, in a 12-in- ning contest. Unearned Run It was a game the Orioles should have won in nine innings, l-o, but they gave the Sox an unearned run in the second in ning where two glaring errors on one play moved Conigliaro from second home after Tony appeared to have been caught off the base.

Frank Robinson's big 13th-in- ning hit was his second two-bagger of the day. Both were to right as the Sox played him to pull, right fielder Conigliaro playing far over in right-center. Dave Leonhard, third Oriolt pitcher, was the winner off ont inning of work after Mike Cuel-lar had sparkled through ten innings of four-hit pitching in his American League debut, and Dick Hall gave up two inconsequential singles in two frames. Small Crowd A turnout of 3,091, providing a great contrast to the crowd of 36,100 who watched Tuesday's opener, braved the threat of rain and sat through intermittent showers, a big one in tht third inning delaying the game for 22 minutes. Cuellar, who fanned six and walked three in his first appear ance as an Oriole after his acquisition from Houston for Curt Blefary last December, retired the first four batters he faced before his second-inning difficulty.

With one away, Conigliaro ined a single to left and took second on a passed ball charged to Elrod Hendricks. Here, George Scott bounced back to Cuellar, who wheeled to find Conigliaro hung up 20 feet (Continued, Page C4, Col. I) Oriole Box Score BOSTON ah 1. hi Smith, ef 6(2 to 0 Yastrzemski.

Yesterday, in an event called the Bobanet Purse, it was Brother Campbell's turn to grab the winners' purse as First And Finest went down to defeat at 2 to 1.

The last time out, First And Finest had been the upset con queror of Misty Cloud, which went off a second choice yester day but came only within a ength and a half of the winner. George Cusimano handled Brother Campbell for owner Charles Robins and his contract holder, Buddy Delp. Second Victory A horse named Devrex held the lead with Ronnie Behrens aboard, until Cusimano sent Brother Campbell by to mark up a second Pimlico victory in four starts. The last trip to the wuv ners' circle came at Old Hilltop in a $15,000 claiming company. Devrex held on for third, fol lowed by Harleigh Green, Tom-mer, First And Finest.

At any cost, let's keep Baltimore's bewildered baseball fans advised on current events. The Memorial Stadium scoreboard, a marvel of electronic shortcircuitry, is at it again. Already, it is two-for-two. Two games; too many errors. First yesterday, it was the central control panel which the public-address announcer apologetically revealed had become "inoperative.

Watch Closely Unless you watched the um pire closely in the opemng inning, the ball-strike count became a mystery. Outs were countable on the fingers. The batter was identifiable by the number on his back, if you bought a scorecard or listened to the preliminary introduction. Luckily no complicated plays arose. A numerical designation, explaining unusual plays through reference to the score- card, likewise went on the bunk Shortly thereafter, the lights went on again, not all of them, however.
