ilet If esief rs Belte eaver After Muscle I if By Angle Borgi Chicago, April 14 It will take Tom Seaver to July 23 at least to get his 19th win and bein his every-fifth-dav bonus arrangement. Provided, of course, he re covers trom the ngnt calt muscle he pulled as the Mets lost to the 6-5, today. Seaver seemed to be right to be right on schedule, en route to his second win. Dave Kingman had crashed a 6-30-foot, two-ran homer in the top of the sixth but Seaver hurt himself in the bottom of the sixth. Then the Cubs hurt Bob Apodaca and Hank Webb in the seventh, sending the Mets to their third straight one-run loss.

That Seaver vas intent on enjoying the pleasant afternoon was evident before the game. He asked 72-year-old Lou Niss, the Mets' traveling secretary, about having the club switch to a more luxurious hotel. "After ail, Lou," Seaver said, "we're a big-league team and we can afford it." Niss nodded agreement and said: let vou know in a few Kuhn Defied Again By AL on Toronto Chicago, April 14 (UPI) Commissioner Bowie Kuhn asked American League officials whether they would consider a moratorium on their projected expansion into Toronto next year, and they told him no today for the second time within a week. Kuhn made the same request las Saturday in a telephone call to AL prtsident Lee MacPhail and also was rejected. National league officials reportedly were putting pressure on the commissioner because they themselves wished to move a club into Toronto for next year instead of the American League, but civic officials in Toronto already have said they prefer tobe part of the American League structure.

Principal parties at the meeting were Kuhn, MacPhail, NL President Charles Feeney and four club representatives from each league. Xational League wanted the Toronto franchise also and presumably has made a commitment to put another expansion team in Washington, D.C. Kuhn, it was known, wanted the return of major league baseball to Washington for the third time, and thus reportedly was backing the Xational League bid to gain Toronto as well. The American League, it was understood, has offered to schedule 40 games in Washington in 1977 in an effort to assure exposure in the capital and partially satisfy Kuhn's desires. Under the proposal, altimore reportedly would play 14 games in Washington and each of the other 13 teams in the league would schedule two home games there.

Spur coach Bob Bass and GM John Begzos have accused Jones of being the ringleader of a gang of thugs from Long Island. He probably wouldn't be surprised to walk into the Convention Center Arena and see his picture on a wanted poster.

''Every time they get a chance, they are taking shots at our guys, pushing, slapping, anything they can get away with." said Bass. "I don't see it letting up, either. If anything, I think it will go the way it has been going. think in the last regular season game between us they told us how the playoffs would be played. Four of our players were hurt in that game." Bass at times sounds more like a roller derby promoter than a professional basketball coach.

The Mets tried to make an livpression on their traveling secretary immediately, with the helt) of Ray Burris Del Unser started with a bunt single and Felix Millan put down a sac bunt that Burris threw past first baseman Andre Thornton for a two-base error. Then Miiner delivered a two-run single and Seaver had a 2-0 lead. When Burris walked Seaver in the fifth, the' Mets were on the ay to 3-0.

Unser slashed a single' to left and Millan hit a long fly to Jerry Morales, Seaver tagging and moving to third. Milner's sac shot to Rick Monday on the warning track in center scored Tom. Seaver had no trouble until the fifth. That's when Steve Swisher cracked a single and Monday bashed a two-out, Two-run shot into the left-centerfield bleachers to make it 3-2. The Mets got the runs back though.

Wayne Garrett, hitless in 15 at bats, greeted Tom with a single to left and Lave Kingman crashed a 630-foot homer. Kingman's homer landed on porch of the third house on Ken-more Ave. and was brought to him by a fan. who listens to the game on. radio and waits for tape-measure homers.

Armed -mi'i the 5-2 lead, Seaver had to leave the game ia the sixth after consecutive singles by H.ii Madloek and Mo rales. He was booed by ths Wrigley Field fans.

Then Champ Summers battel for Swisher and lofted a sac fly Miiner. Apodaca kept at 5-3 by getting Dave Rosello to sky to unser. Apodaca and Hank Webb never got out of the seventh.

Madlock's slice hit-and-run triple-into the right corner made it 5-5. and Morales' single against the drawn-in infield skipped past Harrelson to provide the Cubs with a 6-5 lead. Ken Sanders came on to get two quick outs and Mike Garman rrplaced Buddy Schuitz, to preserve the Cubs lead.

Jones summed up his feeling3 for the GM by saying. "He must be crazy. I'm probably the most physical player on the team, and that's why he singled me out.

They certainly sound pitvo'h. "1 respect Si and would never try to intentionally hurt anyone. But he was looking for contact on that jump shot just as he often does. The films showed I got out of his way. If what they're saying turns the fans against me, it will just serve as an inspiration." Most of the players and coach Kevin Loughcry, were simply amused by Bass and Begzos, who apparently had difficulty promoting their sport in football country.

"We played one of our bets aggressive games of the season when they beat us on Sunday," said Loughery. "They're only trying to stir up the fans. They did that all year. What they have really done is give us something to think about, "Let's look at those injuries they say they got in the last game of the season. Gervin's was legitimate, a broken hand, and Gale got tripped, but those things happen.

Ilalf the guys in our dressing room probably got injured, too." Loughery did counter-punch a bit, though. "Look what Colby Diet rick does to Doc (Julius Ervingt, Loughery said, Or Paultz (Billy Paultz) for that motter. I have to laugh when they blame Brian for being rough, though." REBOUNDS: Nets won opener of series 116-101. Spurs took second game 105-79 New-York's 73 points amounted to second lowest score in nine-year history of franchise. With Silas injured, Gervin moves to guard along with Mike Gale.

The most serious charge wa3 that Taylor had virtually caused the broken foot that will keep the Spurs leading scorer, James Silas, out of the rest of the series. "New York is especially physical at the guards." said Bass.

"I think their strategy 13 not to worry if a guard gets into foul trouble because they have so much depth. They can afford to push and shove and bump because they have so much depth. "Their aggressiveness sets the tone of the game. Taylor slaps, pushes, anything to upset your concentration. "Taylor definitely fouled Silas on the play when Silas got hurt in the first game, Begzos chimed in.

"Si was going up and got shoved, and there's no other way to explain his injury." I can't understand what Bass W. L. Pet. G.B. Pittsburgh 3 0 1.000 Chicago 4 1 .300 METS 2 3 .400 2 Philadelphia 1 2 .3:13 2 St.
