Baseball roundup Name to AL By JACK STEVENSON Associated Press Sports Writer ANAHEIM (AP) Nolan Ryan missed his chance for two straight no hitters with just six outs to go, yet the flame throw ing right hander figures he still has a chance at a record third one this season. Ryan no hit Kansas City ear ly in the season and did it at Detroit last Sunday. He hadn't allowed a hit by Baltimore Thursday night until Mark Belanger looped a single over the infield with none out in the eighth. Baltimore eventually won the game 3 1 in 11 innings, putting Ryan's record at only 11 12 on the day he had been selected to the American League AllStar squad. Nolan wasn't in the game at the finish, having been taken out by Manager Bobby Winkles after Tommy Davis doubled with one out in the top of the 11th.

Dave Sells gave up a two run double to Terry Crowley and that meant the game. Asked if he had gone after the second straight no hitter, Ryan answered readily, "I went into the game to give it my best shot. What the heck, it's not too often you get a chance like that. Asked if he'd previously spoiled a no hitter late in the game, Belanger who went into the game hitting .214 laughed, "Spoil a no hitter. Heck I have trouble getting a hit but if anybody was going to spoil it, I'm glad it was me." Ryan has recorded 41 strikeouts in his last three games, setting an American League record and equalling the major league mark held by Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

His 30 strikeouts in his last two games tie the American League record held by Sam McDowell. Ryan, who topped the majors with 329 strikeouts last season, leads both leagues with 233 this year. The turnout for his first pitching appearance since the Detroit no hitter was the largest for the Angels on a non promotion night since September of 1968." And in 42 dates at home, they have drawn 623.233, an increase of 193.588 over a similar period in 1972.
