"I figure I can do the job as a starter with regular work." In other National League games Philadelphia defeated New York, 9-4, St Louis beat Chicago, 4-2, Houston rallied to down Los Angeles, 8-6, San Francisco stopped Cincinnati, 3-2, and San Diego defeated Atlanta, 8-6. In American League action it was New York 4 Baltimore 3, Milwaukee 3 Cleveland 1, Chicago 4 Oakland 0 in the first, with' Oakland taking the nightcap, 3-1, Kansas City swept two from Minnesota, 5-3 and 12-4, Detroit 8 and Boston 4, and California 12, Texas 4. Briles, relying almost exclusively on his slider and palmbalL baffled all but one Expo Boots Day who collected all three hits. "I guess I should have walked him all three times," kidded Briles after the game. "Of those three hits, only one of them was tagged." He had plenty of hitting support from the potent Buc bats.

Richie Hebner belted a three-run homer, Bob Robertson and Gene Alley each knocked in two runs, and Manny Sanguillen went four-f or- four to raise his season average to .336, as the Pirates snapped a three-game losing streak. Ernie McAnally was the loser. Steve Carlton, who struck out 13 Mets to raise his major league-leading total to 159, broke an 0-18 batting slump with a two-run single to cap the Phils' four-run fifth. The lanky left-hander received a lot of support as the Phils banged out 17 hits, three each by Greg Luzinski and Larry Bowa. Luzinski also drove in three runs.

A throwing error by third baseman Ron Santo allowed Joe Torre to score the winning run from second base in the sixth inning as the Cardinals defeated the Cubs. With two runs home in the sixth and Torre on second, Jose Cruz grounded to Santo, who fielded the ball cleanly and fired it past first baseman Jim Hickman. Rick Wise, held the Cubs to seven hits as he recorded his eighth win of the season. The race in the NL West tightened as the Astros, with the aid of three unearned runs in the ninth inning defeated the Dodgers to move within a half-game of first placet5ncinnati.

By GREG GALLO UPI Sports Writer Nelson Briles, given a pardon from the bullpen this season by new Pittsburgh Bill Virdon, is making a new life for himself as a starter. The veteran righthander won his third straight start Thursday night as he pitched a three-hit shutout to lead the Pirates to a 9-0 victory, over the Montreal Expos. The opposition has scored only one earned run against Briles in his last 26 innings. 4tT 9. A A Al A.

a uun i want 10 ever see laai place (the bullpen) again," said Briles, a former. 19-game By MARTIN LADER ITPT Snnrta Wi-itor "When you're hot, you're hot, man," and there's just no one May the hot there's Wnething to do at night" Bobby Fischer, America's 29-year-old chess genius, has a theory about why Reykjavik was picked as the site of the world championship which starts this Sunday. The Russians are the ones who picked Reykjavik. Fischer thinks the Russians have a motive. He thinks they want to "hide" the championship because he feels he's going to take it from the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky.

What's more, Fischer thinks the Russians know he's going to do it. In this own way, Fischer is a demonstrator. He has been demonstrating the way he feels about having to play in Reykjavik by taking his good old time getting there. THIS HAS SHAKEN UP a lot of people but Fischer had a reason for his actions. Call it one-upsmanship if you like.

Boris Spassky needn't worry about Fischer not making it for their first match Sunday though. Bobby Hull may or may not play for the Winnipeg Jets next season and Rick Barry may or may not play for the Golden State Warriors, but there is no way Bobby Fischer ever is going to miss playing lor the world championship of of berry hottest The hard-hitting Kansas City first baseman had five hits in eight at-bats, three of them for extra bases, and he drove home chess. Even in Reykjavik. Mainly because he thinks In his last 10 games, Mayberry. has had 20 hits in 35 chances for a sizzling .571 percentage, raising his batting average from .244 to .302, and his slugging percentage over the last 11 games is 1.000 with 39 total bases in 39 at-bats.

"I don't recall when I last had a streak like this. I don't recall when anybody had a streak like this, do you?" said Mayberry, who took a major league average of .191 covering parts of four years with Houston into the current campaign. Bill Freehan, for one, hasn't been getting as many hits as Mayberry, but he unleashed an explosive blast Thursday night with a grand slam homer-with two out in the ninth inning that gave the Detroit Tigers. an 8-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox This enabled Detroit to, increase its lead in the American League East to two games over the Baltimore Orioles, who dropped a 4-3 verdict to the New York Yankees. Elsewhere, Chicago and Oakland split a doubleheader, the White Sox taking the opener, 4-0, and the A's taking the nightcap, 3-1, the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cleveland who's been any hotter in this rainy month of June than the speaker of those words John Mayberry.

LONG 4th Let's face facts. Live drivers are safe drivers. Whether you think you're the world's greatest driver or not, there's always the other guy. The guy who runs the light, who drinks too much, didn't see the sign. Over the holiday, there are always more of them the only way to avoid serious accidents is to be a careful driver.

Keep a safe and steady hand on the wheel. If you don't you may be next driver to lie here. rookie Jim Barr, making only his second major league start, stopped the Reds on eight hits. The 24-year-old righthander allowed homers by Johnny Bench (20) and Tony Perez (12) as he won his first game of the season. Chris Speier drove in the winning run with a seventh- inning single.

Dave Roberts, the No. 1 selection in the summer baseball draft, had four hits, including his first major league homer, to lead the Padres over the Braves. Hank Aaron homered for Atlanta, his 10th of the year, and 654th lifetime. Indians, 3-1, and the California Angels crushed the Texas Rangers, 12-4. Detroit, trailing 4-0 entering the ninth, exploded for eight runs in the final frame to beat the Red Sox.

Dick McAuliffe drove in two runs with a bases-loaded double to tie the score, and after the bases were loaded again Freehan hit his winner. The Yankees scored three runs in the second inning and got what proved to be the winning run against Baltimore in the third on a triple by Bobby Murcer and a single by Roy White. Sparky Lyle, with his 15th save, protected Mel Stottiemyre's seventh victory. Wilbur Wood limited Oakland to seven hits in the opener to gain his 12th triumph for the White Sox but the A's earned a split as Mike Epstein hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning of the second game. Milwaukee took advantage of a first-inning error by Cleveland third baseman Graig Nettles to score three unearned runs, then held on behind the pitching of Earl Stephenson and Frank Linzy, and at Arlington Art drove home five runs and Vada Pinson hit a three-run homer as California beat the Rangers.

not yet ers have allowed just nine runs eight of them earned during the streak. Earl Stephenson, a lefthander the Brewers picked up from the Chicago Cubs' farm system earlier this season, has been the biggest He started the streak last Sunday in a 2-0 win over the Boston RedSox. Stephenson pitched seven innings of that game his debut as a major league starterand ace reliever Ken Sanders finished up for him. Thursday it was Stephenson's turn again and, like Sunday, he gave up only six hits in seven innings before being relieved, this time by veteran Frank Linzy. Stephenson hasn't allowed an earn run the one Thursday was unearned in 16 and 2-3 innings and boasts an ERA of 0.44.

"I thought I pitched better Sunday," said Stephenson. "I threw less pitches and got more grounders and double plays. But I had a better curve mis Manager Del Crandall said the enthusiasm building among his players "has just been tremen- dous." "They're taking advantage of the mistakes by the other, clubs and they did it again today," Crandall said. The Brewers begin a 12-game road trip tonight in the first of three games at Boston. Skip Lockwood (4-8) was slated for Milwaukee's mound duties and Ray Culp (4-7) was set to go for the Red Sox.

Cleveland third baseman Craig Nettles' error in the first inning led to three unearned runs for the Brewers. Stephenson needed help from Linzy in the eighth to post his second win without a defeat while Cleveland starter Ray Lamb took the loss to even his record at 2-2. no pennant fever I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's right, and that has nothing to do with chauvinism. Spassky is good, but Fischer is better, and when the tall, curly-haired New-Yorker is right, he's like Joe Frazier and Tom Seaver when they're right Meaning nobody's going to beat him. Fischer doesn't hold back.

He is exceptionally outspoken and honest, and when you hear his objections to playing in Reykjavik, they do make a good deal of sense. Fischer has been there, so when he talks about Reykjavik he isn't doing so from hearsay but from personal experience. He says there is so little to do there, particularly at night a guy can go out of his ever-loving mind. NOT THAT FISCHER is a rounder. If anything, he's much more of a loner, but there are times he would like to become part of the general mix, or at least observe it, and how can he possibly do that when there is no general mix? He also says the television coverage will Delimited.

If he beats Spassky, he doesn't see why it should be some kind of secret. Fischer- originally, planned to go the world championships with only one other person; Spassky is already in Reykjavik with what amounts to an entourage. Fischer reads significance into that also because thehampionship goes on for some time and while Spassky will have people to talk to and help him relax, Fischer won't Fischer doesn't think any of these things are pure accidents. He sees them all as part of a general program by the Soviets to, try to beat him psychologically. "The world champion has the right to pick the site of the championships," says Fischer.

"Spassky wasn't even there when the international governing body chose the site. A Russian delegation was there and they picked the site." FISCHER FEELS THE championships have become a political matter. That annoys him. But it hasn't lessened any of his desire to beat Spassky. Fischer has a lot of that same "killer instinct" Jack Dempsey had when he was fighting.

Some of that instinct shows up even when he's hot sitting at the chess board. Earlier this month, for example, he competed with 15 other top athletes in the Dewars Sports Celebrity tennis, championships at La Costa, and it was a little funny to watch such headliners as Rick Barry, Deacon Jones and Elgin Baylor all ask Fischer for his autograph. In the finals of the tournament, Hank Greenberg, the baseball Hall of Famer, and Bob Boyd, the basketball coach at Southern California, beat O. J. Simpson and Gail Goodrichjor the title.

Bobby Fischer was among the losers. "Next year," he Tm going to win." Hesaid it as if he meant it, too.

A 3-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians Thursday gave them six victories in a row and eight out of their last nine games. It's the first time since 1970 the Brewers have been able to string six victories in a row. Their previous long streak this season was only While the Brewers' batsmen have done their share toward keeping the streak alive, it's been the resurgence of Milwaukee's pitching staff that has really done the.
