On Mel Allen's 'This Week in Baseball" show purveyed here by Channel 5 Fowler described his starting staff: "They are the best five pitchers in baseball. I ouldn't trade either one of them for nobody. Huh? How now, Terry Bradshaw? Bradshaw has bombed, as they say in Show Biz.

"The Stockers," a TV' pilot in which the Steelers' quarterback co-starred, was shown last Friday night by NBC. The ratings now are in. They're not impressive. hi fact, an anonymous spokeswoman for the net said, "The program is unlikely to be on the fall schedule." In New York, for instance, the stock car racing show starring Bradshaw and singer Mel Tellis had a mere 9.2 percent rating. Apparently, outsville.

A while back. Bradshaw said he'd hang up his cleats if the pilot was picked up by the network. How now, Terry Bradshaw? Bob Knepper says he's having fun. Small wonder, having pitched his second straight 1-0 shutout for Houston yesterday, whitewashing the Reds. It wasn't so jolly when he was a S.F.

Giant, adds Knepper: "In San Francisco, the only way I can describe it is like working in a coal mine with a dirty scarf over The Evening Muse your mouth. You can't breathe." Fired major league managers rise from the ashes like the legendary Phenix. There are 15 of them now piloting in the bigs who got their walking papers, 10 in the American League.

There is no love lost between him and Wills, A groundskecper himself as a kid in Berkeley. Martin spotted the enlarged batter's boxes being laid out and told Kunkel.

"It's like moving the bases to 88 feet. "I haven't seen anything like it in 35 years." League president Lee MacPhail. notified in New York of Wills' thwarted scheme, said first-offense disciplinary action likely would be a fine rather than a suspension. Wills already is under fire in Seattle, for the predictable rotten play of the Mariners and the manager's often curious actions.

Then this. "I can't tolerate anything that's not done first-class and ith integrity," Mariners ow ner George Argyros said. I'm not going to string him (WilLsi up." The American League and Seattle Mariners may draw the line for Maury Wills, innovative designer. Wills faees a possible fine by the league and a seolding from his bosses, after the Mariners' manager pleaded guilty to tampering with the front lines of the Kingdome batter's boxes Saturday night in Seattle. His illegal artistry before that A's-Mariners game ordering a grounds crew man to move the front chalk lines a foot closer to the pitcher's mound so the Seattle hitters would have better cuts at Rick Langford's breaking stuff was under review yesterday.

The correct answer is Cleveland. "This was a big game for us." Indians manager Dave Garcia said yesterday after the Trite scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning in Cleveland to pull out a 3 victory over the Texas Rangers. "What made it more sweet was coming from behind to do it." What made it sweet est of all was it moved the Indians into first place in the Eastern Division. That's pretty strange territory for them, and they may not stay there, but they definitely appear improved over last season. Ninth-inning heroics always make a team look good.

"You can look bad for 24 hours and with a little luck, it turns into a good game." said the Indians' Bannister, who drove in one run and scored the game-winner. With Cleveland trailing 3-1. reliever Jim Kern opened the ninth by walking two batters. John Henry Johnson. 0-1.

came on and got one out. but Bannister singled home pinch runner Jerry' Dvbiaski. Rick Manning scored the tying run on Jorge Orta's sacrifice fly and Mike Hargrove produced his first game-winning hit of the season, a single. "I have been struggling at the plate and when you are struggling you have to go to left field or anyw here." Hargrove said. "1 usually hit the ball where it is pitched and most clubs pitch me inside.

I ha an inside-out swing and it took over on that fastball." Texas manager Don Zim-mer relied on an adage to explain the game. "Bases on balls will kill vou." he said. "They always From Page Fl U'sterday, when they whipped the inept Manners. Keough won his fourth game. Tony Armas jacked up his majors-leading RBI total to 22.

"Since we've been in this hot streak. 90 percent of the reporters want to talk to me about defense." the A's second-place hitter said "I can do more than play defense. I don't think a lot of people realize I sacrifice some offeu.se for Rickey iHendorsoni.

Each of the last two day the Manners scored as manv runs as the A's have allowed in any- One reason was hot Richie Zisk.

who homered off Mike Norris Friday, Rick Langford Saturday and Keough yesterday. Nevertheless, Keough survived Zisk's second-inning shot, plus Julio Cruz' 3-run triple in the fifth that gave the Ms their temporary lead. The right-hander went the route for the fourth time, on a 6-hitter. his ERA rising from 033 to horrors! 125. "I don't care so much about my start as I do about the team's start," Keough said.

"If 1 give up 10 runs, but we win. that's all right." Things are going so right for the A s. they get away with mistakes like the mental one that second baseman Snooty Babitt committed yesterday. The rookie overshot the base while attempting a double-play pivot, got no outs, and Cruz promptly followed with his triple. Babitt was pulled for a pinch-hitter the next inning.

The man who yanked him, manager Billy Martin, said, 'That's youth we've got to get it out of him." In the meantime, "1 didn't think it was possible to in 11 in a row he said. "So, no. I'm not surprised at being 17-1" NOTES: Murphy was surprised Wills left right-hander Parrott in after Mike Heath sixth-mning single and Mike Patterson walk. The A figured southpaw Bryan Clark would be brought to face left-handed- hitting Murph. Too late for the good, Clark registered 2's shutout innings.

"One bad pitch by Parrott, or maybe I was one pitch late," Wills said in second-guessing himself Yesterday's spitball accusation against Keough came from Zisk, who said of his homer, "I hit the dry side of the baseball."
