4 Part April 22, 1975 Staplf mt, DODGERS DEFEAT ATLANTA, 2-1 BUCKNER PLACED TWINS DEFEAT ANGELS on disabLed ust umpire Jim Evans, also drew a $100 ond base, replacing Davey Lopes, a converted outfielder who switched to Wynn's spot in center field. "Man, I can't believe this," said Messersmith as he consoled Wynn afterward. "When is it all going to stop?" Fortunately for the Dodgers, they had Messersmith, who may well be on his way to another 20-win season. He pitched like it here, twice squirming out of trouble first by striking out batting champ Ralph Garr with two runners in scoring position in the fifth. Then Dusty Baker's line drive into a double play and a Rowland Office strikeout saved him in the sixth, with runners at first and third.

Messersmith gave up a game-tying homer by Vic Correll in the seventh, but retired the last eight Braves and finished with seven strikeouts. Road Atlanta to Host Formula 5000 Race DENVER (UPI)-Road Atlanta in Gainesville, was selected Monday by the jointly sanctioned Sports Car Club of America and United States Auto Club as the site for an Aug. 31 Formula 5000 race, sixth event in the nine-card championship schedule for 1975. Ontario Motor Speedway originally was scheduled to host the event, but officials there opted to stage an F-5000 race next spring. But even in victory, it was not a happy Dodger clubhouse.

"This is no rip of the other guys who are playing now," said Cey, "but it's going to be difficult until guys like Buckner, Russell, Yeager and Marshall can come back. Without them, it's too much of a strain on us right now." Dodger Notes Perfect timing: If the Dodgers are troubled by more injuries, they couldn't have picked a better hotel. Headquartered with them in downtown Atlanta is a convention of the American College of Surgeons Even though the Braves had a winning record (7-6) going into Monday's game, they had been outscored by 13 runs. "Our pitching and defense have been great." said manager Clyde King, "but we need more punch." King has apparently abandoned hope of obtaining slugger Dick Allen. "I feel no different about him now than I did in the spring," he said.

"We could use him. certainly, but we aren't interested in him if he's not genuinely interested in playing ball again." Broadcaster Vin Scully took a Monday morning flight to Atlanta rather than fly from Los Angeles Sunday night with the Dodgers. "After what's been happening to them lately," he said, kiddingly, "there's no way I'd get on the same plane with them" Today's pitchers will be Doug Rau (1-1) and Carl Morton (3-0) The official scorer of Sunday's L.A.-San Francisco game has changed a pop-fly error against Davey Lopes to a fourth-inning double by the Giants' Gary Matthews. Continued from First Page gle for another month just to stay even with teams until the other guys come back." Cey also left the game Monday after being thrown out at the plate on Cruz's two-base hit that scored Lee Lacy, who had singled to lead off the ninth. "I feel good at the plate," said Cey, his face ashen and perspiring, "but running all the way from second at the end took something out of me." But those weren't the only Dodgers hurting on a night when Messersmith outpitched Capra (2-1), whose win streak was severed at six games dating back to 1974.

Willie Crawford was limping on a right ankle he twisted in Sunday's game while rounding second base on a game-tying double against the Giants. He did not play Monday but expects to return to the lineup in a day or two. Steve Garvey also was hurt Sunday when a first-inning collision with the Giants' Garry Maddox ripped off the big toenail on Steve's left foot. He played Monday, although his hitting streak ended at five games when he went 0-for-4. Because of the injuries, the Dodgers again deployed a patchwork lineup.

And when Wynn left the game. Lacy pinch-hit for him and moved to sec Outfielder Bill Buckner. who suffered an ankle injury Saturday, was placed on the 13-day disabled list Monday by the Dodgers, retroactive to the day he was hurt. The Dodgers also announced they have purchased the contract of outfielder Charlie Manuel from their Albuquerque farm club of the Pacific Coast League. Buckner.

whose left ankle was put in a cast, will be eligible to come off the disabled list on May 4. DODGERS' SCORECARD SECOND INNING Dodgers Cey homered to left, his fourth. Ferguson struck out. Cruz grounded to first. Auerbach struck out.

Hisle also tripled in Minnesota's last run and scored the sixth and seventh runs after reaching base on infield singles. Despite his protest, Williams admitted the Angels beat themselves. "When we score six runs," he said, "we just have to wia" It is unlikely that the Angels will win their protest since it comes down to a choice of stories. One offered by Williams and one offered by first base umpire Lou DiMuro. The Twins had the bases loaded in the sixth when former UCLA player Luis Gomez, the Minnesota shortstop, put down a squeeze that got a run home and generated an argument at first as DiMuro called Gomez out.

Gomez bounced his helmet off the infield dirt and DiMuro reacted by making a sweeping gesture with his right arm, seemingly indicating that he had ejected the infielder. However, when Gomez went to his position at the start of the home half, Williams came out to lodge his protest DiMuro told him that he had not ejected Gomez, that he had merely invoked an automatic American League rule which calls for a $100 fine for the throwing of equipment and ejection only if it's done a second time. "It's a new rule," explained DiMuro later, "and Williams may not have been familiar with it. I wasn't throwing Gomez out, only fining him, and I had to come up with some kind of motion to indicate something was wrong." Williams laughed when he heard that. "He has to live with what he says," said Williams, "but he definitely threw him out.

It's our word against his, so our chances of winning the protest aren't good if he doesn't tell the truth." The incident didn't seem to have much to do with the outcome, but Williams said, "that doesn't matter. Gomez should have been out and a new player in the game." Gomez did go out in the eighth, leaving for pinch-hitter Rod Carew. The Twins put runners at first and third with one out against losing pitcher Orlando Pena and then Carew hit a sacrifice fly off Mickey Scott that scored Hisle with the seventh and winning run, the run that snapped a 6-6 tie. That tie had been created in the sixth when Bill Sudakis delivered a two-out, two-run, pinch-hit double, his first hit as an Angel. The blow chased Minnesota starter Bill Butler, who, unhappy with the calls of home plate "HF) sr-16 A PORTABLE SLIDE RULE CALCULATOR WITH A MEMORY.

He struck out five and walked none. Jim Crawford, a left-hander just called up because of Astro pitching problems, was a victim of poor support. An error by shortstop Roger Metzger on Tito Fuentes' two-out grounder opened the way for two unearned runs in the second and another run scored after a passed ball and Crawford wild-pitched the other home. The Padres lead the Dodgers and San Francisco by half a game.

The Giants kept pace when Cincinnati rookie third baseman Pat Flynn bobbled a grounder by Chris Speier to give the Giants a 4-3 victory in 10 innings. Johnny Bench hit a three-run homer for the Reds' runs in the fifth inning, with the Giants tying it in the eighth on Marc Hill's sacrifice fly.
