His possible front line replacement rookie Gary Rytrson, provided Crandall with one of the weekend's more pleasant memories. Ryerson held the Red Sox to a 2-2 tie into the ninth frame of the nightcap, then had to be relieved by Frank Linzy. Crandall, former chief of the Brewers' farm club in Evansville, said he likes the behavior of Ryerson.

"I just feel heavy. I'm not springy or quick." said 32-yearold Chicagoan Willye White Sunday after a record 13th long jump title with a leap of 20 feet 6 inches. Her best is a foot beyond that.

"I guess I'll just have to retire," Olga Connolly, 39, Los Angeles veteran, said in the wake of a disappointing second place finish in the discus. Mrs. Connolly, who has a pending American record of 185-3 in the event, did only 170-8 to 170-0 for Josephine Della Vina of Chicago, a Fillipino. Neither Mrs. Connolly nor Miss White, of course, had a hand three American and seven meet records in the 1972 national championships.

Alice Annum, Audrey Reid and Miss Della Vina, three of the individual AAU stars, will not be at Frederick, Md. Friday and Saturday for Olympic trials. Instead they will compete for their countries at Munich. Miss Annum, 21, from Ghana, scored the meet's only double during the meet. She sped to times of 11.5 seconds in the 100- meters and 23.4 in the 200.

In addition, she ran a leg of the Washington, Sports International's 880-yard medley relay quartet that turned in 1:40.6, the only bona fide U.S. record. The other American marks were in new events.

Mrs. Berning, a 30-year-old frosted brunette from Incline Village, started the day four strokes off the pace but surged past Pam and three other pros for a final round of 71 and the $6,000 top prize. "This golf course is so tough," she said of the 6.226- yard, par 72 Winged Foot layout, "it can grab you some time during the round. I just happened to be fortunate to have a few more pars and birdies than anyone else." The birdie that counted was on No.

Pam missed an eightfooter for a bogey. "I played it the same way I did every day." said the 28- year-old Miss Barnett, "but it just didn't go in." Pam, who hasn't won on the women's tour yet this year, appeared headed to victory Sunday when she birdied the first two holes.

But they were the only two. She carded three bogeys on the front nine and three more coming home. "After the first four holes I never hit a good tee shot." she said. "Then my concentration. started breaking on about the 11th.

I lost my timing." She shared second place with Judy Rankin and Kathy Ahern. Mrs. Rankin carded a 73 while Miss Ahern turned in the best round of rain-plagued event -a a 70.

Elsewhere, Pittsburgh downed the Chicago Cubs Montreal edged the New York Mets 4-3, Cincinnati swamped San Diego 12-2 and Houston nipped Atlanta 5-4. "That's pretty good company," Mc Covey said upon learning that his 14 grand slams match the career marks of Hank Aaron and the late Gil Hodges. McCovey's blast, off Dodger ace Don Sutton in the seventh inning, was a rare opposite field drive to left following singles by Tito Fuentes, Don McMahon and Jim Howarth. Dave Kingman followed with his 18th homer as the Giants broke the baseball game open.

It was the Giants' fourth consecutive victory and the fourth loss in a row for the Dodgers, who fell seven games off the pace in the NL West. The Cardinals, whose hot month has lifted them from last place to fourth, just one game behind the Cubs, got eight-hit pitching from Reggie Cleveland and two relievers and four runs batted in from Dal Maxvill, three on a bases-loaded double.
