Nobody would blarne him if he stood on the Golden Gate Bridge laughed at the bay city. and Mays was traded May 12 by! the San Francisco Giants to the New York Mets as a washed up 41-year-old ball player for a minor league pitcher and some cash.

Mays insisted that he wasn't trying to prove anything to the Giants. "I don't think have to prove anything to' anybody after 20 years," he said. "I'm not try- in? to show anybody up.

They (the Giants) wanted to do this." Did he have a problem in San Francisco? "Im not there anymore, he replied. "Draw your own conclusions. There must have heen a problem. They traded me," Mays went on to say, "All I ask is that a manager tell me what he wants me to do. Yogi first.

If Willie Mays keeps doing iis thing, the Amazins from New York may never hit it.

The Pirates are'in the midst of a pretty good streak themselves. They knocked off the Montreal Expos 1-0 and 5-3 Sunday for their seventh victory in row and 12lh in the last games. That enabled the Bucs to inch up a bit on the even-hotter Mets, who couldn't do a thing against Philadelphia's Steve Carlton for five innings, then stunned the Phillies 4-3 on two- run homers by Tommic Agee and Mays, That extended.the Mets' winning streak to 11 games--equal- ling the longest in their history set in their 1963 World championship season and gave them victories' in 14 of 1 games and 24 of their last 29.

Holtzman collided with Kansas City first baseman John Mayberry while running out his grounder in the second inning. He lay still on the ground for several minutes before getting up. Williams was so infuriated by what he considered a blatant act of poor sportsmanship that he directed Holtzman to throw at Kansas City hitters.

"The first guy up's going to i go down," Williams said, "so we were knocking Lou Piniella down." Holtzman got a warning from the umpire after throwing a close pitch to Piniella in the last of the second and admitted that he was so dazed, "I thought it was Mayberry at the plate." "Mayberry hit me with both his hands," said Holtzman of "I bit NEW YORK (AP) Despite the perspiring palms in a few other sections of Yankee Stadium Sunday, there was absolutely no pressure In left field where Roy White was stationed.

I hit against him enough to know the other hittters are in trouble when he comes in." The Yankees own 12 victories this season and Lyle has won one game and saved six others. He has become a bullpen stopper in the tradition of Joe Page and Luis Arroyo and in a place where tradition has been fighting a losing batttle lately, he is a welcome addition.
