In the top of the first, Mick Mumau walked and advanced to second on a line single by Mike Belts.

Claysburg picked up'an unearned run in the second and filled the sacks on two singles and a walk in the fifth. Ron Claar smashed a long double to easily tally the runners from second and third.

Arkaz, who was on first for Claysburg when Claar ripped his shot, scored what turned out to be the deciding run when the relay throw to get him at the plate was dropped. Marion Center got its final run in the top of the seventh. Tony Moretti singled, advanced to second on an infield out, swiped third, and came across on another fielder's choice.

The NBA won, 1 25-1 20. Trim Bucs Pappas, Cubs, For Walker? Bullpe By MICHAEL A. LUTZ HOUSTON (AP) Walt Frazier rallied the shocked National Basketball Association all-stars to a narrow 125-120 victory over the prestige-conscious American Basketball Association Friday night but the guy everyone still was talking about was the man who wasn't there Lew Alcindor. Alcindor's withdrawal from the game only hours before the first meeting between the two rival leagues left officials and players theorizing why the Milwaukee Bucks star did not show. It also left unanswered the question of how the younger ABA stars would have fared if Alcindor had played in the game.

Astrodome officials were miffed that Alcindor. who was married earlier Friday in Muslin rites in Washington, D.C., did not let them know sooner that he would not appear in the game. Bill Russell, who coached the NBA stars, said Alcindor's presence in the game would have made a lot of difference. "It might not have been as good a game for the spectators," Russell said. "It would not have been as close.

It might have been a runaway. We were a little nervous at first. It was a good game. If they hadn't scared me. I would have enjoyed it." Larry Brown of the Denver Rockets, who coached the ABA to the surprisingly close loss, doubted Alcindor's presence would have made a difference.

"We played a good game," he said. "I am disappointed we didn't win when we had so many chances. I think Alcindor is the greatest but I'm not sure it would have made any difference. When they (the NBA) didn't have an Alcindor, they were saying they could run us off the court. They said their 10 best were better than our 10 best.

They had their 10 best tonight except tor Alcindor." The ABA. with Rick Barry and Willie Wise leading with 20 and 18 points, respectively, led by as much as six points in the nip-and-tuck first half before trailing 66-64 at intermission. The NBA finally built up a 10-point lead late in the fourth quarter only to have the spun-kv ABA stars narrow it to a one-point 121-120 margin with 58 seconds left to play. But then Oscar Robertson of Milwaukee and Frazier, who led all scorers with 26 points, dropped in two free throws each to ice it for the NBA. Robertson said Alcindor had a legitimate reason for not coming.

He said Alcindor told him two weeks ago that he would play in the game. "I had no reason to doubt him," he said. Robertson said he thought Alcindor's bride convinced him not to play. Frazier, voted the game's Most Valuable Player, learned after the game that he would receive a new car for his By D. BYRON YAKE Associated Press Sports Writer PITTSBURGH (AP) Milt Pappas believes that Clete Boyer's plan to forfeit his severance pay with the Braves is detrimental to the Baseball Players Association.

Colton of Memphis. "We hope the feds will pick it up and investigate the TPD and the PGA as a monopoly," Barner said. "If they do, we'll drop the suit. "But if they don't, well, they don't have much defense.

This charge of monopoly is the same thing they used during the split." Barner referred to a split between the. touring professionals and the club pros three years ago, a squabble that threatened to wreck the 7-million pro tour. That dis Brock Streak At 23 Cards, Giants Up NLMargins By DICK COUCH Associated Press Sports Writer Thrift and patience have paid a small dividend to the Cincinnati Reds and another windfall for the San Francisco Giants. The rich got richer in the National League West Friday night as the first-place Giants trimmed Montreal 3-1 and the Reds nipped runner-up Houston 1-0 in 13 in Games All Lopsided Four lopsided games and a forfeit were the result of five games played in the Softball League on Thursday. Benamati's whipped Dairy Treat 11-3.

University Esso outclassed Black Diamond 18-4. First National blitzed Trinity 17-0. Consolidated Gas bombed Highway 11-4. and recorded a forfeit win over Graystone. Undefeated Benamati's scored nine times in the first three innings and had little trouble in chalking up an 11-3 triumph over Dairy Treat.

Dan Ford led the 15-hit Ben-amati offense with a three for four night, while Bill Moore homered for the losers. First National's Crusan limited Trinity to just four hits while his teammates pounded out 20 in his own behalf as First National shut out Trinity 17-0. Odell was the big slugger for the winners with a home run and three doubles. Prymak chipped in with a double and a triple. Eleven Black Diamond errors made it easy for University Esso to rack up an 18-4 victory.

A homer by Sonny Edwards and a three-bagger by Dick Sherry were the key hits for University Esso. Consolidated Gas scored five runs in the fifth inning and four more in the sixth on its way to an 11-4 win over Highway. Wingard had two doubles for the win ners. R. H.E.

(AP) A blunder by Soviet Grandmaster Mark Taimanov on the 46th move Friday enabled U.S. Grandmaster Bobby Fischer to win his fifth straight game in their quarter-final elimination round to determine a challenger for the World Chess Championship. The game had been adjourned Thursday after the 41st move with Fischer a pawn ahead and holding a slight initiative. In only five moves and five minutes of play Friday, Taimanov managed to regain the initiative, then lose a rook and the game. the prestigious Vardon Trophy for the lowest stroke average two years ago.

He had a long history of controversies with officials. He has been suspended at least three times and has been lined countless limes. The most highly publicized event was after his outspoken criticism of the United States Open course at Chaska. last year. The most recently was the 3)500 assessed for his actions in Fort Worth.

last week when he threw his lull tiul of a sand trap on the IBIli hole and purposely signed an incorrect storecard.

Pappas, traded to the Cubs last year by Atlanta, has been a strong voice for the players association. He was a player representative when he was with the Baltimore Orioles in 1965.

When a player who has played in the majors for eight or more years is released by a major league club he receives 60 days severance pay. Boyer has chosen to forfeit that, about $10,000, because the Braves agreed to release him after he feuded with Vice President Paul Richards. "If he did that (agree to return the pay) I'm very surprised," said Pappas. "Clete demanded to be released and I understand that he wanted out badly. But he doesn't have the right to forget what we've fought for in the last five or six years." Pappas scattered six hits against the Pirates and is now 6-5.

It was his sixth complete game of the season, something he has not had a reputation of doing much. Former Baltimore Manager 4-2 its six hits in the 13th to break a scoreless deadlock and drop the Astros 9'i games off the division pace. Elsewhere, the Chicago Cubs wasted most of their 15 hits but still topped Pittsburgh 4-2; Los Angeles beat Philadelphia 6-2 behind the pitching and hitting of Al Downing and the streaking St. Louis Cardinals increased their East Division lead with a 4-0 victory over Atlanta. The New York Mets were rained out at San Diego.

The Giants took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Alan Gallagher ripped a two-out triple and continued home as Ron Hunt threw away the relay from the outfield for ar. error. They added a fifth inning run, with the help of a throwing error by Renko, on Jimmy Rosario's sacrifice fly and went up 3-0 in the seventh on Rosario's double, a passed ball by catcher John Bateman and a ground out. Rookie Steve Stone blanked the Expos on two hits until the ninth, when he walked Rusty Staub and was yanked for reliever Jerry Johnson. Singles by Mack Jones and Boots Day delivered one run and left Johnson on the ropes with two out.

But he struck out pinch-hitter Ron Swoboda to strand the tying runs on the bases. Don Wilson limited the Reds to two harmless hits before leaving for a pinch-hitter in the ninth and they had only three compared to eight for the Astros after 12. But Pete Rose led off the 13th against reliever George Culver with a bunt single, sped to third on Dave Con-cepcion's single and scored on another single by Lee May. Don Gullett, who worked the first 10 innings, and winner Clay Carroll combined to snap the Astros' modest winning string at three games. Next Hank Bauer is credited with labeling Pappas as a non-finishing pitcher.

"It's been a habit of managers I've had in the last (our or five years, that I can't finish nine innings," Pappas said. "By the sixth or seventh or eighth innings there were usually two men warming up in the bullpen. And if I got in trouble tliey didn't hesitate to take me out. "But Leo's (Manager Leo Durocher) stuck with me," he said. The Cubs got 15 hits against Pittsburgh, including five in the fifth when they scored only two runs, both on Billy Williams 12th homer.

Pirate pitcher Luke Walker, 1-6, lost his sixth straight game and interim manager Bill Virdon admits that he and Manager Danny Murtaugh, still in a Pittsburgh hospital for tests, having talked'about moving Walker to the bullpen. "But I'm not really thinking about that," said Virdon. "That decision is up to Dan- "I just feel right now that 1 don't have a job," said a subdued Buyer, who two hours earlier was in a jovial mood as he chatted with newsmen shortly before entering Richards' office. "I guess sometimes 1 talk too much," he said. "I think I have said enough." Boyer met only briefly with reporters following his powwow with Richards and was interrupted several times by Atlanta attorney Joe Williamson, who said, "Come on Clete, let's go." "I just hope I can hook on to another club," Boyer said.

"I'm really sorry to leave this town. I love it." Boyer's separation from the Braves came in a hurry only four days after the New York Post published an article quoting the player as saying there shouldn't be any place in baseball for a man like Richards. Richards quickly retorted by calling Boyer "a lousy Dispute Reaches Climax Boyer Gets His Release, Awaits Word On Waivers nings. The Giants managed just three hits off Steve Renko and Mike Marshall, but converted three Montreal miscues into as many unearned runs to win for the fourth time in their last five starts. Cincinnati bunched half of ny.

"Patience is a great asset in this game, especially at this time of year," Virdon said. "If it's September, the move might have been made already. But you have a little more time now and sometimes an extra game or two will help bring a pitcher out of it." player." This prompted further criticism from Boyer plus a request for the Braves to release him. Boyer told Richards he would forfeit the 60 days severance pay due him and said it amounted to about 110,000. Richards sent a telegram Thursday to Boyer in Montreal, where the Braves were playing a four-game series, ordering the third baseman to Friday's meeting.

Richards threatened to suspend Boyer indefinitely without pay if he failed to meet with him by noon. Boyer was hitting .242 for the Braves, one point better than his lifetime average that included three seasons with Kansas City and eight with the New York Yankees of the American League before joining the Braves in 1967. He had six home runs and 19 runs batted in this year. Files Million Poller Suit Agoinst PGA Dave Hill Seeks Golf Jackpot! Stargell, Alley, Kessiager. DP-Pittsburgh 2.
