By JACK HAND MILWAUKEE (Lefthander Danny McDevitt of the Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Carlton Willey of the Braves were named to pitch today in the first of the best-of-three playoffs for the National League championship. Willeys selection by manager Fred Haney was a real surprise. Haney had been expected to lead off with Lew Burdette, his right-handed ace. Willey (5-8) has an 0-1 record against the Dodgers this year He is 28, stands 6 feet and weighs 175 pounds. The start of the game was delayed.

Rain came five minutes before the scheduled start, sending players running for the dugouts. Ground keepers quickly covered the infield with a tarpaulin. The all-day threat of rain kept the crowd to around 15,000. Haney didnt name his pitcher for Tuesdays second game at Los Angeles but the pick of Willey undoubtedly means that he will go with Burdette (21-15). Lew was knocked out of the box by the Phillies last Friday.

Alston said lanky Don Drysdale (17-J3), a right-hander, will pitch Tuesday. The Dodgers and Braves had tied for first place after the finish of the regular season Sunday. The second game will be played in Los Angeles and the third, if necessary, will also be played in Los Angeles. The winner of the playoff will meet the Chicago White Sox in the World Series.

The scheduled opening date was June 19, including a 42-day time extension granted by the city. The locks were opened to boat traffic Aug. 21. The mayor then asked Strand to launch an investigation of the delay.
