Browns Trade Kreitling For Chicago Back CLEVELAND (AP) The Cleveland Browns committed rookie Paul Warfield to offense today by trading veteran end Rich Kreitling to the Chicago Bears for former Miami of Ohio defensive back Lowell Caylor and two high draft choices. Caylor, 23, a 6-foot 3, 205- pounder, from Dayton, Ohio, Ohio, was drafted 16th by the Bears last year. He was a defensive star on the 1960-62 Miami teams but was used as the extra man with the Bears and kept on the taxi squad.

In addition to Caylor, the Browns obtained the Bears' second and third draft choices in the December pro football draft. Warfield was the Browns' first draft choice last year. Kreitling, 28, a native of Chicago, has been with the Browns for the past five seasons since graduating from the University of Illinois. By MURRAY CHASS Associated ress Sports Writer Willie Smith is in a nil, and the Los Angeles Angels hope it gets even deeper. Smith, a refugee from the pitcher's mound, delivered the game-winning hit for the third consecutive night as the Angels whipped Washington 9-5 Wednesday.

The newly converted outfielder drove in five runs with a homer and a triple, lifting Los Angeles to its eighth straight victory, longest streak in the majors this season and longest in the team's history. The borne run, his third, came in the seventh inning after Vic Power singled and Jim Fregosi walked and wiped out a 5-3 deficit. He added a triple in the eighth, again sending in Power and Fregosi. The night before, the 25-year- old Smith socked a two-run homer for a 2-0 Angels' victory and Monday night singled home the deciding run. The Angels' spurt has left them in eighth place in the American League but has placed them only two games away from fifth.

A victory over Kansas City tonight would vault them into a tie for sixth. Smith's latest performance was an abbreviated one he didn't enter the game until the fifth inning. Still he raised his batting average 21 points to .340 and increased his RBI total to 15 in 50 times at bat. Despite his monotonous onslaught, Smith proved he is fallible. When he appeared as a pinch hitter in the fifth, he reached first base only because of an error.

Power hit safely four times and Jim Pier- sail and Bob Perry three each. Dick Phillips had three hits for the Senators. Reliever Bob Lee picked up his fourth victory, ail against Washington.

A three-base throwing error by relief pitcher Stan Williams in the eighth inning led to the Yankees' downfall. The error came on a bunt by Willie Kirkland with two men on, none out and the score tied 4-4. Williams, trying for a force at third, flipped the ball into left field, permitting Bob Saverine and Jerry Adair to score. Kirkland raced to third from where he scored on Dick Hall's bunt. Gary Peters hurled a five- hitter for his eighth victory against three defeats for Chicago.

Ron Hansen's two-run inside-the-park homer in the four-run first triggered the triumph. Boston rookie Tony Conigliaro fell into the left-field stands trying to catch Hansen's drive. Conigliaro was unconscious for a while but recovered before going to the hospital where preliminary rays revealed bruises of the left ankle, knee cap and wrist.
