Si'ings If.i 3: Si Burick Daily News Sports Editor Reds Defeat Braves, 2-1 By HAL McCOY Dally News Sports Writer ATLANTA The third straight one-run game between the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves went to the Reds Saturday hight, 2-1, with Jack Billingham going all the. way for the When Speaking of Big Backs, Can Jim Brown Be Forgotten I saw a nice movie in Cincinnati the other day. It was the new promotional film for the Cincinnati Bengals. Most of it is action stuff out of the Bengals satisfactory 1973 campaign. My I 1 1 the 5th and 6th and Billingham was saved from possible danger in the Atlanta 6th when Aaron bounced into a double play.

Joe Morgan, the only consistent- Cincinnati hitter at the moment provided a 2-1 lead in the 7th with a single to left, his third hit of the night, scoring Pete Rose from second. Rose had singled and taken second on Geronimo's ground ball. Morgan has been on base in each of his last 19 games with 24 hits and 17 walks, putting him on base 41 times in the last 19 games. As Paul Brown, general manager, part owner, head coach and the single controlling force of the club, was telling media representatives and special guests, "This is the first time I've seen this movie, too. Those in the past have been good and I'm sure this one is, too.

The league does it for us, and all the other clubs. Twenty-six separate promotion films. Sometimes I wonder how they do it." I sat next to Paul as the film unwound with Phil Samp providing the commentary from a script that I assume someone in the NFL film office provided. Brown made quiet, private comments of his own. The Reds split a doublehead-er with the Braves Friday, winning 6-5 before losing, 1-0.

A crowd of 41,427 watched Saturday as Billingham completed his fourth game of the year, retiring the last seven batters he faced. Ron Reed, starting only his second game since a May 15 line drive off the bat of San Diego's Bobby Tolan splintered his pitching hand, stretched Cincinnati's runless streak to sixteen innings. Then, Johnny Bench, homer-less in two weeks, opened the fourth inning with what looked like a high fly to left. The high fly landed beyond leftfielder Hank Aaron, whose back was pressed against the fence, for Bench's 14th homer and a 1-0 Cincinnati lead.

But the Giants knocked him out in the ninth.

Jim Brewer, Geoff Zahn and Charlie Hough came on to get one out apiece and preserve the victory. THE DODGERS, who have won seven of their last eight games, took a 1-0 lead in the third on Joe Ferguson's double, pitcher Doug Rau's single and Dave Lopes' sacrifice fly. They added three runs in the fourth following a throwing error by third baseman Dave Kingman. Bill Russell's two-run single and a run-scoring single by Rau we're the big blows off Charlie Williams, 1-2. Bill Buckner's triple arid Jim Wynn's sacrifice fly made it 5-0 off reliever Tom Bradley in the fifth.

As game after game was reviewed, Charlie Joiner began to show up as a pass receiver late in the season. Joner would leap up for a pass in a crowd, as the expression goes get hit by a i defender or two, come down on a shoulder or his head, always miraculously hanging on to the football.

"How do you like that for a guy who knows how to catch, Jiold and hang on to. the ball?" the often emotionless Paul gurgled. Sure, Motley Was Great, Too And then the commentary began to concentrate more on Boobie Clark, the surprise 1973 late draft from little Bethune-Cookman college, whose superb running helped make the Bengals a winner. Throwing his 238 pounds around, breaking tackles or dragging tacklers, Boobie established a ground attack to go along with Ken Anderson's passing and the lovely receptions of Joiner, Curtis, Bob Trumpy and their colleagues. This is where the commentary suddenly went awry.

I didn't take down the exact words, but Samp said something like this: "Boobie gave Paul Brown the big back he has been looking for since Marion Motley's time." Paul said nothing, but he must have been thinking. And not wanting to embarrass an oly friend, I said nothing either. True, in Marion Motley's time on Brown's early Cleveland Browns, he was a joy. He was big and he could run. Paul broke pro football's unwritten color line with Motley.

He couldn't have picked a better man or athlete. Marion was given the recognition he deserved when he was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1958. The Browns, until this year, were represented by only three others at the Canton Museum. Lou Groza will become only the fifth in July. The other Hall of Famers from Cleveland are, in the order named, Otto Graham, 1965; Paul Brown himself, as founder and coach of the Browns from 1946 to 1962, who was elected in 1967; Jim Brown, 1971.

A Sin, a Shame, a Crime Ah, yes, Jim Brown. Taking nothing away from Marion Motley's contribution as P.B.'s original big back, how in the name of all that's right could any script writer forget Jim Brown? Jim came to Paul and his Browns from Syracuse as a rookie in 1957 and hung around for nine seasons through 1965 when he retired himself for what has become a highly successful econd career as a movie star. His program weight, living up to the "big back" concept, was 228, which may have been a few pounds light. Jim could run; man, he could run, better than most. Jim Brown holds numerous club records.

Like 126 career touchdowns; 756 points (surpassed only by Groza's kicking points nine straight years as an all-league back; 237 rushing yards in a game (twice); four touchdown runs for more than 70 yards; most points in a season, 126, on 21 TDs; most times carried the ball, career and season; most seasons leading league in rushing, most lifetime yards, 12,312. It's true. Paul Brown would settle, I imagine, for a back as good as Marion Motley. But for the film's script writers to have overlooked Jim Brown was it convenience or slipshod research? is a sin and a shame, if not a crime. I By GARY NUHN Daily News Sports Writer To put it as gently as possible, Bob Moore is the last person in Dayton on whom you would want to model your golf swing.

"Yeah, people laugh when they see me swing," says Moore. "But they don't play me. The ones who play me don't laugh." Jim Shively promises not to laugh when he plays Moore in the 36-hole finals of the City Amateur Golf tournament today at Community. The first round starts at 9 a.m., the second at 12: 30. The Second flight finals between Tom Falvey and Tom Gross go off at 8:30 and 12, and First flight finals between Moore's buddy, Earl Size-more, and Pete DiSalvo, are at 8:45 and 12:15.

"IT MAY BE a funny swing," said Shively, "but he can teach you respect for it." The latest to gain respect for Moore's outlandish baseball swing (much too much right hand) was Tom Philips in Saturday's semifinals. Outdriving Philips by up to 70 yards on most holes, Moore closed him out, 4-and-2, just minutes after Shively counted out Skip Snow, 4-and-3. "I was looking at his back all day," said i 1 i 24-year-old stockbroker at Merrill Lynch. "His ball was dropping leaflets on mine on every hole." Moore, 39, a job setter at Delco Products, won Nos. 2, 4 and 6 to go three up.

Philips "rebounded by faking 7 and 8, go home and sleep and then meet on the first tee of the Eagle course at noon. "I'd say we've played each other just about every day since December," said Shively. f. They play for five bucks a match and neither will admit i to being either up, down or even. Says Moore, "Hey, wait a minute, you're not writing this down, are you? I don't gamble.

Honest." OK, Bob. PROBABLY THE greatest irony is that even though Shively is jus 22 and Moore is 39, Shively has been playing golf longer. Moore was a softball player for his first 29 years (or so), but 10 years ago became bored -and switched to golf. A 6-foot, 220-pounder, Bob has just a tinge of middle-age spread at the belt and a twang in his voice from his Middlesburg, upbringing. Asked if he would be upset if he was described as a good ole country boy, Moore said abso-1 1 not.

"That's what I am," he said. Diamond Jim vs. The Good Ole Country Boy. Sounds like Big Time rasslin'. Championship Fliqht Semifinals: Jim Shively def.

Sunday, June 30, 1974 Page 1-D but then Moore took 10 and 11 to regain his lead and, despite missing six-foot birdies at both 13 and 15, it was his match. SHIVELY, 22, A quality control auditor at Dayton Tire and Rubber, started awkwardly. "He told nie he was nervous on the first tee," said Moore. "Then he walked over, teed up his ball, stepped back and dropped his club, knocking the ball off the tee." That didn't cost Shively a stroke, but he lost the first hole anyway when Snow, a 31-year-old certified public ac-countant, birdied. Jim regained the hole immediately when Snow bogeyed No.

2 and went ahead at 6 with a par, Shively also won 8, 12 and 13 with pars and that was the match. Shively's round was steady but nothing to inscribe into stone to last for ages 13 pars, two bogeys. On both bogeys, i Snow bogeyed, too, halving the hole. "That's just how I play," said Jim. "I play for par." A 'S FINALS has many ironies.

The NCAA's compilation of five-year statistics proves it pays more to stop the run than the pass in major college football. The top 10 teams in rushing defense over the five-year span all have winning records, but five of the top 10 teams in pass defense don't. MIAMI I), is the leading team in the nation in rushing defense at 91.8 yards per game over the last five years and has a 38-12 record to show for it. But Dayton, which ranks second of all big schools in pass defense for the five years at 107.5 yards per game, has a 22-28-3 record. Other losers in the pass defense stats include Iowa, No.

5, and Northwestern, Vanderbilt and Indiana, Nos. 8, 9 and 10. Miami also leads the nation in total defense at 204.7 yards per game, Toledo is fourth (242.9), Ohio State ninth (260.58) and Bowling Green 10th (260.59). Other five-year stats: Michigan rates No. 1 in scoring defense with eight points allowed per game, Ohio State is second with 10, Notre Dame third at 10.3 and Miami fourth at 11.06.

OHIO STATE is seventh in scoring offense at 31.5, just ahead of Michigan at 30.9. Arizona State leads at 40.8. Ohio State is fifth in rushing offense at 290.5 yards per game; Michigan is eighth at 284.0. Oklahoma leads at 347.6. The winningest team over the last five years in regular season is Michigan at 48-4-1, a .915 winning percentage.

Ohio State is sixth with 41-6-1, or .865. Miami is 17th at 38-12, or .760. Over the past 10 years, Ohio State moves up to fifth with 74-18-1, or .801. Michigan drops to 11th at or .770 and Miami is 14th at 73-26-1, or.735. A gave the Giants a run off Rau, 6-3, in the fifth.

Marshall, who has a 9-3 record and 10 saves, took over for Rau with two on and one out in the sixth. He struck out Kingman and worked out of trouble. But the Giants nicked him for two runs in the eighth on Kingman's two-out single and then loaded the bases with none out in the ninth, knocking him out. They scored one run on a bases-loaded walk issued by Zahn, but Hough came on to get the final out. It was San ra i co eighth loss in the last nine games and nd straight under new Manager Wes Wes-trum.

Paul Brown's Concern for Rookies Meanwhile, if Paul Brown is worried about the impending NFL players strike, or the imminent debut of the World Football league (a week from this Wednesday) he is not wearing his concern on his sleeve. If anything, he offers a touch of optimism. "These things always seem to get settled," he offered.

The emphasis on the so-called "Rozelle Rule" as a major "freedom" point is ridiculous. That's the clause that gives Commissioner Pete Rozelle the right to determine the compensation when a man f'plays out his option" and joins a rival club. The new team Is obliged to pay the former team in cash or is players on Pete's say. "You'd think this comes up all the time," Paul said, "but Rozelle has been called upon to make this kind of decision only fa four times, not at all in the last two years." What would anger him, Paul said, is the players proposal, '-or demand, that rookies honor the strike. The last strike, he recalled, gave some rookies the opportunity to get coaching attention there might not have been time for.

It gave Doug Dressier a chance to make the switch from tight end to running back for the Bengals. 1 Losing the chance to play in exhibitions would hurt the rookies. Boobie Clark's last two years in college were spent as a linebacker. The Bengals wanted to try him as a runner. In the pre-season tests, he was so impressive he became a starter after Dressier was hurt.

"A lot of kids will miss legitimate chances to make it if they're not around," Paul Brown said, "and I'm most unhappy about that phase of the strike." if i Lasa lev's Hot Nasty Takes Schuylkill Stakes Walkei Today's Games Philadelphia (Lonborg 10-5 and Carlton 9 61 at pmsburgn (tins J- ana brettv-4), 2, 1:35 p.m. St. Louis (Foster 3-5 and Gibson 4-8) at New York (Koosman 1-4 and Stone 2-), 2 2:05 p.m. Chicago (Stone 2-1) at Montreal (Rogers 8-8), 2:15 p.m. Cincinnati (Norman 8-5) at Atlanta (Mor-: ton 9-4), 2:15 p.m.
