The combatants: umpire Larry Napp and Royals manager Bob Lemon. (UPI) SPORTSWEEK By FRANCIS ROSA Suddenly baseball, chess and hockey share spotlight "Power Cushion 78" Goodyear's deepest tread bias ply "78" tire Triple-tempered 4-ply polyester cord body for durability Smooth no flat-spot ride Tough Tufsyn rubber Low profile contour shoulder for good steering control It was a week when things happened suddenly: All of a sudden the Red Sox bullpen has become a rest center and hurrah for John Curtis and Lyn McGlothen. Not quite as suddenly but just as pleasing the New England Whalers have become the No. 1 team in the World Hockey Assn.

Let's hear it for Jack Kel- 1 ley. i And for Billie Jean King, too who took just 50 minutes to win Wimbledon. That's pretty sudden. 1 Of course, there is nothing sudden about chess. And will someone please tell me how chess qualifies as a sport? Please, please, no instant replay.

What else happened last week? The Red Sox won seven straight and are in the pennant race, sort of. That's how it is in the American League East where Orioles don't fly high and Tigers don't roar. Johnny Rigney was fired as manager of the Minnesota Twins which makes him the second manager fired in Boston this year. Dave Bristol of Milwaukee was the other. Ken Harrelson qualified for the British Open an achievement, no doubt, which has struck fear into the heart of "Jack Nicklaus.

Harry Sinden, who will coach the Hockey Canada Team against the Russians, is leaving room on his roster for Bobby Orr, "just in case." Jim Ryun made the Olympic team (1500 meters) and so did Jeff Bannister, a transplanted New Englander, in sportsdom's hardest event, the decathlon. The Red Sox, however, dominated the week. They kept getting complete-game pitching, won six straight at home, opened with a victory on the coast before losing Saturday night, 4-3, in 16 innings. It left them before yesterday's schedule one game below .500 and four games behind the division leaders. The rookies have blended in nicely, but now we must wait and see if they can do it all season.

Sudden success is all well and good. It will be even better if it endures. Whalers signed rough and tumble defenseman Jim Dorey off the New York Rangers roster (and Tom Williams from the Braves) and now have 13 NHL and American League players on their roster of 19. The only thing missing is a goalie. The Whalers, it looks from here, have sprinted away from the rest of the WHA clubs.

They have three defensemen with NHL experience, Dorey, Rick Ley and Bred Selwood, and you could play quite a few games just swinging those three. By comparison, the WHA's Chicago team which signed old scarface Marcel Pronovost as its coach last week has merely four players under contract. Hockey generally has not been hibernating this summer. Harry Sinden helped the Cape Cod Cubs of the Eastern League announce Bronco Horvath as the coach and then made a few announcements of his own: "Yes," he's interested in returning to hockey, "but it would have to be more than just coaching, I'd want some administrative responsibilities, too." And, "yes," he's leaving room on his roster for Bobby Orr, although doubting Orr would be available for the series with Russia. Orr will not be able to play in the Canadian games (Sept.

2, 4, 6 and 8). He has not been ruled out cbmpletely, yet, for the games in Moscow (Sept. 22, 24, 26, and 28). "We will not be able to add any players to our original roster," Sinden said, "whether the agreement is for a 30 or 35-man squad, so we're going to put Orr on the original roster. Then if he should be ready for the games in Moscow there would be no hassle about using him." Billie Jean King experienced what it's like to play the sentimental favorite (Evonne Goolagong) and heard the boos jof the British crowd.

They didn't bother her one bit and maybe she was entitled to her little expression of emotion at the end of the match. Jim Ryun was as fully entitled to his joy at winning the 1500-meter in the Olympic trials to make the United States team again. It marked a comeback that has had its peaks and valleys. And what about the nine days of put-on given the world by Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky? It reduced chess to the old days of boxing promotions. If Tex Rickard were living he'd turn over in his grave.

cars hopper to short. Juan Be-niquez, who had been very upset at the end of the top Of the' inning after being called out on strikes, played the ball on the side and it took a bad hop over his glove. A sacrifice and another out later, Sandy Alomar hit an easy grounder to Beniquez's left and the ball went under his glove for the winning run. "Yes, I was upset about that," said Kasko. "Beni-quez at least should have prevented the run by knocking it down." The Red Sox had gotten three runs on a bases-loaded double in the second by Tommy Harper, then saw three tries to win it end with the dead night air and a super play by Pinson.

Oglivie was almost a hero in the 11th when he sent rightfielder Lee Stanton to the fence in right. In the 12th i sent Barry to the centerfield fence. But Pinson's play was the play of the night. Singles by Harper and Doug Griffin and a walk to Carl Yastrzemski loaded the bases in the 15th against Friday's goat Steve Barber, a rather ancient jour-n a lefthander. Rico Petrocelli hit a line shot to fairly deep leftfield.

Pinson, who does not possess a really good arm, backed up, caught the ball, charging towards home and made a perfect throw to nail the fleet Harper at the plate. "A once in a lifetime throw," laughed Pinson. Harper didn't laugh. By Peter Gammons Globe Staff' ANAHEIM Reggie Smith returned to the lineup last night. As expected, Ben Oglivie returned, to the bench.

And. Bob Burda plf.yed first base. Smith had been sidelined since last Monday night with a cartilage pull of the knee. Oglivie was certainly in the middle of things the first two, games here. Friday he had three hits, including a game-winning homer in the 10th.

He also made a spectacular running catch in foul territory as he crashed into the fence. Saturday night be bettered that play by going over that fence to backhand a Vada Pinson drive, jump back on the field and throw Ken Perry out at second. But he was also one of the central villains Saturday in the shoddy fielding performance by the Sox which put an end to the streak in that 16-inning. 252 minute, 4-3 marathon. Starter Ray Culp could have had a shutout, but at least should have won, 3-1.

It was 3-0 in the bottom of the fifth, none out, a runner on first (walk). Leo Cardenas hit a sharp one-hopper to Rico Petrocelli's left what looked like a double-play ball but the ball skipped off his glove for a single. Two fly balls (making it, 3-1) and a walk later, Culp found himself with a full count on Berry. With Includes all labor and Any U.S. car plus parts if needed -Add $2 for cars with torsion bars.

km RAY CULP' victimized both runners breaking, Berry hit a high popup to short right. Doug Griffin went barreling out. Ben Oglive came barreling in. Then came the inevitable two-man duck, the ball landed, and it was 3-3. It was one of three collisions for the Sox during the long evening.

"I don't think it's just our club," said Eddie Kasko in answer to the question why the Red Sox have been body-checking each other so much lately. "I think it's all over, and mainly because there are so very few quality outfielders who take charge. "The outfielder has to call the infielder off and let him know enough to get out of there. Oglivie should have let Griffin know. I keep hollering at these guys about it, but sometimes it doesn't sink in." After Don Newhauser went three good innings, and Bill Lee worked from the 12th through the 15th, the defensive roof fell in on "Splash Down" Lee in the 16th.
