Swift, the sophomore right -hander from Maine, who won Game 4, 3-1, with a seven-hitler, worked the first five innings. He allowed only an infield single with two out in the first inning, after which he retired the next 13 batters. Aldrete, a junior first baseman from Stanford, was 0 for 13 in the series before he doubled and scored the second U.S.

run, in the fourth inning. His RBI triple keyed a five-run sixth inning. Keith Mucha was named the Most Valuable Player of the series. The third baseman from Oral Roberts batted .333, hit two home runs and drove in eight. U.S.

JT ijf Metromedia VS. MONTREAL EXPOS TODAY 4 PM cated fans. We have come A to expect a certain level of, uh, entertainment, I guess you could call it. For instance, don't try to come in here with just one established quarterback and expect the L.A. fans to sit still for that.

We want controversy. And I'm not even sure that two quarterbacks battling for the job would be enough. Yats're competing against the Rams, Al, and they invented the concept of revolving quarterbacks. They even have an owner controversy. Nobody really knows which Frontiere is quarter-backing the front office.

1 suggest you start the season with at least three quarterbacks fighting for the starting job, and one should be Pat Haden. It's OK to announce that Quarterback A is your No. 1 man for the rest of the season and that you have complete confidence in him, but make sure you bench him within the week. A word about your coach. Tom Flores is probably a real nice fellow, but all he can do is coach football.

He's not Italian, he doesn't scream a lot and he's not real colorful. I'd suggest changing coaches every few months. Down here we call it recycling. Have a celebrity guest coach every week, following the format made popular by "Saturday Night Live" with its guest hosts. Start with George Allen.

Next bring in Abe Lemons, Bob Lemon, Meadowlark Lemon and Bazooka Limon. We expect your teams to be in the technological forefront. Get your players involved in aerobic jazzercize, sensory-deprivation tanks, Zen frisbee, hypnosis and motivational speeches by Cal Worthington. I don't know how closely you follow trends, Al, but L.A. is the trend capital of the universe and entourages are definitely in this year.

Peter O'Malley has been a major disappointment in this area, and you can help make up for his shortcomings. If you don't already have an entourage, you might consider running an ad in the trade newspapers. Unfortunately, most of the local celebrities are already involved in other sports causes. Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal are fight fans, for instance, and Jim Brown and Don Rickles are Laker regulars. But a few well-known locals are uncommitted and might consider being pals with you, including Dr.

George, Tawny Little, Rich Little, Little Richard, Sam Gilbert, Sam Yorty, Frazier Smith and Vic Damone. SURPRISE! WERE CELEBRATING OUR NEW DOWNTOWN STORE WITH A GRAND OPENING SPECIAL: THE APPLE SYSTEM WITH MONITOR 1899 Regularly S2600 Want some wardrobe advice, Al? Of course you do. Two words: Loosen up. Shiny suits, white shirts, pointed shoes and slicked-back hair haven't been popular in L.A. since the heyday of Fabian, Frankie Avalon and Kookie Burns, all now in the Smithsonian Institution.

Get yourself some designer cowboy shirts, sandals, blue jeans and a tweed sport coat with a "Nuke The Rams" lapel button. Keep the sunglasses. Borrow a blow dryer from Ray Malavasi. Make yourself at home in the Coliseum but don't get too comfortable. This is a mobile society here; we don't know how to relate to people or teams that settle in one spot too long.

Plant rumors that you're thinking of moving from the Coliseum into Ascot Park in Gardena, the management of which has promised to increase the seating capacity to 5,000, build a terrace of luxury stadium suites and replace the natural track with Astrodirt. As much as possible, stay out of court, Al. Court is boring. Unless you're suing the National Enquirer. If you must go to court, go to "The People's Court," that TV show on Channel 7.

The judge there is friendly, witty and real fair, and the only delays are for commercials. That's about all the advice I've got time for now, Al. But since you're going to be in the area, let's do lunch. Have your people call my people. Have a nice day.

mil I hi tr-kk 1-ii rlHI 'U: Bj WW lBhjl j3 Sambito Has Elbow Surgery Houston Astros relief pitcher Joe Sambito underwent surgery at Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Ingle-wood Wednesday to remove a bone chip from his left elbow, but the surgeon discovered a ruptured ligament and and repaired that as well. An Astros spokesman said in Houston that Dr. Frank Jobe took a ligament from Sambito's right leg to rebuild the damaged medial collateral ligament. The surgeon also relocated the ulna nerve to a different position in Sambito's pitching elbow. Removal of the leg tendon was not expected to cause any problems.

Sambito, 30, is out for the season. In six years with the Astros, he has 68 saves and a 2.40 earned-run average. odav throuah Monday the ADDle vou'd usually Day $2600 lor (with disk drive, controller, areen phosphorous monitor, monitor stand, and Apple Writer word processing program) is yours tor only $1899 at your nearest Computerland.
