17 gave Miller Barber a six- under par 66 and a tie with young Craig Stadler going into today's raindelayed second round of the New Orleans Open. Barber's 75-foot chip shot came more than 24 hours after he started a round of golf that was interrupted by heavy rain-. storms. "I hit a 2-iron off tee that was probably the worst two iron I ever hit in my life," Barber said Friday. "The shot landed in the bunker and I just knocked it in.

That's one of those once in a lifetime things." The shot gaveJJarber his third birdie in six holes Friday. He coupled those with four birdies and a bogey in 11 holes he played Thursday before the rain. When Barber made the shot, Stadler was resting in a motel room five miles away. He had the day off Friday because he was one of only 81 golfers to finish their first rounds before rain delay. "I didn't even know about (being tied for the lead) until I came out here to hit a few practice shots," said Stadler.

"I just now looked up.at the leader board and saw it." Concern about the condition of the course was one reason tournament officials pushed back Friday's second round until Saturday and scheduled 36 holes of play Sunday. "There was so much water on the tee at hole No. 2 (Friday) that we couldn't have played before noon if we wanted to," said one tournament official. Like Stadler, Barber used the weather delay to get in a little practice. He went straight to the driving range after finishing his first round Friday.

Bradley leads LPGA tourney RALEIGH, N.C. (UPI) Pat Bradley's record eight- underpar 64 for the first round lead in the American Defender Classic came as no surprise to one contender. "Being a long hitter and playing the short courses like we play, it was bound to happen to her sooner or later," said JoAnne Carner, who finished three strokes off the pace for sole command of second place. "She's also been playing very well lately." Bradley, 26, of Westford, carded seven birdies, an eagle and one bogey Friday on her way to a personal as well as a course record over the par-72 North Ridge Country Club layout. Behind Carner after Friday's play were fellow veterans Kathy Whitworth, who has won the tournament three times, and Judy Rankin, also a former champion at Raleigh, with three-under-par 69s.

Seven golfers finished the day at two-under-par 70. Defending champion Sue Roberts soared to a nine-over-par 81, while favorite Sandra Palmer, who has won two times in the last three weeks and is the tour's current leading money winner, shot a one-under-par 71. NBA refs picket game in Boston BOSTON (UPI) Eleven of 24 striking basketball officials, some carrying signs reading "NBA Should Blow the Whistle on Scab Referees," picketed outside Boston Garden Friday prior to the start of the Boston Celtics-Philadelphia '76ers playoff game. Spokesman Jake O'Donnell said the picketing was resumed following a breakdown in negotiations Wednesday between striking referees and the National Basketball Association. The officials, who paid their own expenses to Boston, say they will "apologize only to the fans" for walking out prior to the final games of the regular season.

Part of the NBA's last offer called for the strikers to apologize to the league, Deputy Commissioner Simon Gourdine, along with players and fans. When the officials refused, the talks broke down. Namedropping Tug McGraw, relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, was placed.on the 21-day disabled list Friday, effective last Sunday. McGraw suffered an arm injury while pitching against the Montreal Expos on national television last Saturday. FrankMacCormack, a pitcher for the Tigers last year who went to the Seattle Mariners in the expansion draft, was activated by that club Friday to replace Mike Kekich, who was placed on the disabled list because of strained muscles in his pitching shoulder.

Ray Soff, a freshman lefthander from Blissfield, spun a four-hit shutout Friday afternoon to give Central Michigan University's baseball team a 2-0 victory over Grand Valley in the first game of a. non-conference doubleheader. The Chippewas then breezed to a 14-1 win in the nightcap. The double victory gave the Chippewas 17 wins in their last 18 games entering today's key Mid-American Conference twin- bill with defending champion Eastern Michigan. Dave Debol, of the University of Michigan, scored two goals to help the United States defeat Romania, 7-2, in the world ice hockey championships in Vienna.

Canada, meanwhile, lost to Sweden, 4-2. Gov. Michael Dukakis has no intention of having the state of Massachusetts purchase the Boston Red Sox, an aide announced Friday. The club said Thursday that it was listening to offers.

It was as close as the Tigers came to Mickey Stanley still fits in Small salary keeps Mick with Tigers DETROIT (UPI) Mickey Stanley looks at Bill' Freehan and thinks, 'There, but for the grace of a small salary, go Stanley has played two whole games in a row and was scheduled for a third Friday until rain put an end to that by Detroit's game with Baltimore. Now the extra day may put Ron LeFlore back in center field for Detroit, instead of Stanley, if the swollen knuckle on his middle finger quits bothering him. If not, then Stanley will roam the position he covered so elegantly for the Tigers for nearly a decade.

Only Stanley and John Hiller remain from the Detroit team that ruled baseball in 1968. Willie Horton was traded earlier this season and Freehan was unceremoniously dropped beteen seasons. "I thought about that during the winter. The difference is I didn't have a big salary," Stanley said with a laughing snort just after changing to his street clothes from his Detroit uniform. Freehan was across the room, a clubhouse visitor dressed like the businessman he has been forced to become.

"No, really," Stanley said, turning serious. "I play a lot of different positions. That gives Ralph (Manager Houk) a lot of flexibility. And I'm not making real big money." The versatile veteran, who last season played every position in the field except pitcher and catcher, says physically "I still feel young. I look around and that's when I feel old.

"There's a lot of good young guys on the team," he said, "but I feel I still f't in. I can relate to them. They have some respect for me and I feel I can help them sometimes." Stanley, 34, doesn't see any more baseall in his future after the contract he signed during the winter runs through its two years. Tiger averages By Untied International Balling Player AB HR RBI Avg.

The 29-year-old right-hander, once a hard-thrower for Cincinnati whose career was almost ruined by a torn right shoulder muscle, is making a comeback with the California Angels after four years in the after a sensational spring training, he came close to blowing his opportunity when he was hit hard in his first three outings of the season. Manager Norm Sherry decided to go with him once more, and it paid off Friday night when Simpson pitched seven strong innings for his first win since September 10, 1975, in the Angels' 7-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

"They took so much pressure off me by showing confidence in me and giving me another start," said Simpson, who started the game with an earned run average of 10.61. Sherry said if Simpson had had another bad outing he would have had to consider going with someone else. After Angels have a chance to win the American League West this year and a manager can't be ruled by sentimentality. "He had a couple of tough outings, but I just felt like he needed that one chance to get over the hill," said Sherry. "I watched him all spring.

He had a 1.80 ERA." Simpson allowed six hits, walked four and struck out six in his seven-innings. He gave up four runs, but only two were earned and the win was his second in the majors since 1973. Simpson had support. Joe Rudi and Jerry Remy each drove in two runs for the Angels while catcher Jerry Humphrey saved three runs with some standout defensive play.

Seattle Slew big favorite in the Wood NEW YORK (UPI) Seattle Slew was out to enhance his favorite's role for Kentucky Derby and pick up an extra $66,480 for his young owners, Mickey and Karen Taylor, in today's Wood Memorial at Aqueduct.

Seattle Slew entered the Wood, which has attracted seven other 3-year-olds, with an unbeaten record.in._ five eareerstarts-and as the 1-5 favorite in the early line. The son of Bold ReasoningMy Charmer will be seeking to follow in the footsteps of Foolish Pleasure and Bold Forbes, who won the Wood and then went on to win the Kentucky Derby. The Wood, worth $110,800 gross and a $66,480 winner's purse, was to be Seattle Slew's final race before the Derby May 7. Seattle Slew, winner of last year's Eclipse Award as the 2year-old champion colt, was to be ridden by Jean Cruguet. Seattle Slew's debut this year was a seven-furlong sprint at Hialeah for a track record.

Trainer Billy Turner next ran Seattle Slew in the Flamingo for an easy four-length victory. Purchased for only $17,500 by the Taylors as a yearling, Seattle Slew already has won $189,160 and has been insured for $3.5 million. The Wood was to be nationally- televised (ABC) starting at 5 p.m. EST with a 5:26 post. The entries originally included Harry Mangurian's Obliterator, who ran second in Friday's $25,000 feature allowance at Aqueduct.

However, Mangurian was still represented by Iron Constitution. Sigmund Sommer sent out an entry of Very Distinguished and Catalan, the only other stakes winner in the field. Catalan, a strong stretch runner, was to be ridden by Steve Cauthen, while Very Distinguished's task was to ensure a fast early pace. Glad, Trojan track results ST. FRANCIS vs.
