A man's mind is freed for better things. "We've got some great bullpens coming up on this trip," Lee, now known forever as "The Moonman, said. "You can't see much in California and there's a wonderful fence to sleep behind. A guy like myself can take out his contact lenses and miss the whole ballgame.

"Oakland is great, too. Right on the first base line. There's a wonderful little blonde who comes down and gives us lemonade during the games. WonderfuL" Conversations can turn to movies and newly-developed suntans and to the philosophical debate of whether or not to throw a breaking ball with a full count on the batter. A man's personal demons can be forgotten, "Like that cart at Fenway," Lee "I've been afraid to get in it since they got it.

You step inside and two guys beat you up. You come out all squashed and scrunched over. Yeh, two guys from the North End hide in there and beat you up. It's terrible." A man can sit. A man can relax in this new bullpen.

He can run through his little workout every other day and the rest of his time is free. He can wonder when all this is going to end. "You know." Bill Lee said, "when I was a kid, I always dreamed of being a big starting pitcher. Warren Spah'n. I was going to be a pitcher like Warren Spahn.

"Now I'm getting to be a pitcher like Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth at the end of his career. It's easy to get fat in the bullpen the way this team is going. anything, I think guys fay more attention to I tke games nbv out there than they did a jew years ago. tf-s hard in some of the places they put you, but 1 think 1 most guys try." Doug Camiltt, coach "I try to see what the pitcher's pitching, see what's working." Don Newhauser, pitcher "We've got a lot of college-educated guys out there.

They do a lot of smart things. Like try to squirt each tibcr with the water fountain. Like try to spit on each otker's shoes. Smart, huh? Just like you're living in Tennessee or someplace." Bill Lee, pitcher It suddenly has become the best job in baseball. Better than being Denny McLain's travel agent.

Bet-teV than guarding Charles O. Finley's vault. Better than selling toothpaste to Tom and Nancy Seaver. Working in the Red Sox bullpen has become the best job of all. i The hours are super, the pay is terrific, the demands negligible.

Maybe the word "work" shouldn't even be used. The Red Sox bullpen has become a welfare line in sweat socks and flannels. "Maybe the phone is broken," reliever Bill Lee says and that is one explanation. Another more plausible one is that the Red Sox pitching staff suddenly has stood on its head. A group of starters that once started being nudged towards the nearest bar of Lifebuoy around the fifth inning suddenly has turned in five complete games.

It is a mark so astonishing from a team that has been so perpetually troubled on the mound that no one has been' able to dredge up the date when it happened last. Whenever it was, it was a long, long time ago. The result is a group that two weeks ago looked like a combination of the Spirit of '76 and the last survivors in a John Wayne movie about Corregidor now is no more active than a Wednesday afternoon whist club. Life in the Red Sox bullpen has become a garden party in California, no less. Let's see, pack the bathing suit and scuba gear.

Leave out the spikes and glove," Lee yelled happily as the team prepared for one of those 10-game monster tours of the West that begins tonight in Anaheim. "California, California, we're going to have such a wonderful time if only we didn't have to show up for those damn ballgames. "A wwww, that's just life, I guess." Relievers are hardpressed to remember when they worked last. They say things like "I think it was no, I didn't work that day," and they smile an awful lot. No longer is that awful question asked about that hanging curve that was last seen paying a toll at the Worcester exit off the Mass.

The Mets almost got it back in the bottom of the 14th when Bud Harelson. Houston, 7-3, in 17 innings. Despite the outstanding pitching of Arlin and Ross, the Mets were still tied in the 14th because the Padres had been unable to cash in on earlier scoring opportunities. When they loaded the bases with none out at the start of the 14th, it looked like there was no way they walked, moved up on a wild pitch and a sacrifice and, with two out tried to score on a shprt passed ball. But catcher Pat Corrales recovered in time and threw to Ross, covering the plate, to catch Harrelson.

The Giants downed the Phillies in the inning when Tito unloaded a two-run triple. Dusty Baker's two-run homer keyed a four-run Altanta rally in the third innning and the Braves hung on to nip Chicago. The Dodgers blasted the Expos, snapping a '3-3 tie with a pair of runs in the eighth inning and then wrapping up 'the victory with six runs in the ninth. Sonics, Haywood sue Seattle Associated Press Steve Arlin, San Diego's pitching dentist, must have given the New York Mets a dose of sleeping gas last night. And, when the Padres finally got around to operating on Arlin's baseball patients, it was anything but painless.

Arlin pitched 10 brilliant innings, allowing only one hit before turning the Mets over to reliever Gary Ross, who permittedjust one more hit in four innings. Finally, the Padres pushed across a run on a bases-loaded walk in the 14th in-. ning for a 1 -0 victory. Arlin, who holds de- gree in en i from Ohio State Univeristy, matched zeroes with, the Mets' Jerry Koosman ior, 10 innings before Ross, and New York reliever Tug McGraw took over. By then, the Mets were mesmerized and they never did wake up.

The bulk of Haywood's claim is a $250,000 contention the injury may ha ve shortened his career. Associated Press SEATTLE Spencer Haywood and the Seattle Supersonics have filed damage claims totalling $441,100 against the city for knee injuries Haywood suffered when he slipped on a Seattle Coliseum floor splattered rain drops coming through the roof. Haywood was hurt March 5 and the Sonics filed blank claims ately as required by law. They filled in the amounts this week.

The match for the world title now held by the 35-year-old Russian will begin Tuesday in the Icelandic capital. The winner gets 1 50,000 and the loser 1 00,000.

Spassky, a handsome Leningrad journalist who makes a living playing chess the year around, will make tKe- first move. He won the draw last night and will play white, meaning he will make the first move. The 29-' year-old American will play black in the first game. In succeeding games they alternate. Despite the charges and countercharges exchanged between the two camps, there was no 6ign of personal animosity between the two.

When Spassky was introduced at the draw, Fischer applauded. And when the challenger, dressed in a green suit and red tie, was presented. Spassky gave him a big hand. As they shook hands at the end of the ceremony, Spassky held on to Fischer's hand and said, "and good luck." The ceremony confirmed that all the proHems that delayed the match for nine days finally had been settled. It began with Fischer refusing to come to Iceiind for the originally scheduled start July 2 because he was not happy with the financial terms.

Jim Slater, a wealthy British banker, saved the match when he offered to double the prize money from $125,000 to $250,000. Fischer finally turned up July 4 but by then, Spassky was upset and threatened to pull out. He first demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game, then asked for an apology from the American and finally asked Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), to admit that he violated the rules when he postponed the match in Fischer's absence instead of disqualifying the American. Euwe, himself a former world champion and the last non-Russian to hold the title, promptly penned a declaration admitting that he had made a mistake.

Fischer broke the ice when he wrote a letter to "Dear Boris" apologizing for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer admitted he had "offended you and your country, the Soviet Union." "I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," Fischer wxote in his letter. Spassky accepted the apology, although it was not delivered directly to him by Fischer. In the end, the Russians appeared to have dropped their demand that Fischer forfeit the first game- Carburetor Cleaner.
