Seaver 18-7, allowed only four hits, but they included long homers by Clarence Gaston and Ollie Brown. Gaston also hit a run-scoring triples.

Clendeonon tied the score with a two-run, fourth-inning homer and then the Mets went ahead to stay, 4-2, when Cleon Jones hit a two-run double in the sixth off loser Tommie Sisk, 0-9. Browns Try To Go Out' A Champion Jets, Montreal Licking Wounds After Monday By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 'The New York Jets, bothered by slippery fingers, and the city of Montreal troubled by empty seats, are licking their wounds. For both, Monday was a night to forget. The Oakland Raiders, who lost to the Jets 27-23 in last American Football League championship, got their revenge as they whipped the World Champions 24-6. The city of Montreal fumbled its first test as a future expansion site for American pro football.

Only 8.212 fans turned out to see Detroit beat Boston 229 in an interleague game, leaving more than three-quarters of the baseball stadium empty. Oakland quarterback Daryle Lamonica completed two touchdown passes while New York could manage only two field summer goals. Jets quarterback Joe Na- math watched most of the game from the bench. Before leaving late in the first quarter, Namath drove the Jets to the Oakland three, but Emerson Boozer fumbled and linebacker Don Connors recovered for the Raiders at the one. 'The Jets bungled again in the last minute of play when Mike Battle fumbled a kickoff CLEVELAND (AP) Cleveland Browns switch to the American Football League next season, and head coach Blanton Collier has said he wants to leave the National Football League this season as its champion.

On paper, and in exhibition games, it appears the Browns have the ingredients to give Collier his wish. Los Angeles Rams coach George Allen, after his team lost 10-3 to the Browns two weeks ago, said, think the Browns were better at this time of year than I ever could remember. The Browns should win the Century Division Leroy the leading rusher and scorer last season and the offensive captain, goes farther. going to go all the he said. Collier thinks have one of his best defensive units this season.

It was the defense that paved the way for the victory over the Rams and a 24-19 triumph three weeks ago over the San Francisco 49ers. The offense has sputted, but Collier is not worried. things kept us from moving the ball he said. used a lot of players so there were little breakdowns and often it takes only an error by one man to keep the play from On defense, tackles Jim Kanicki and Walter Johnson and ends Jack Gregory and Marvin Upshaw have improved their pass rush. Linebacking Power Defensive captain Jim Houston heads an extremely deep linebacking corps, and the talented backfield is led by Mike Howell, who is called the best free safety in the league by defensive coach Howard Brinker, The Browns led the league with 32 interceptions last year.

Offensively, Kelly will be joined by either Ron Johnson, Robert Scott, or Charley Harraway at fullback. Johnson, the first-round draft pick, broke Tom career rushing record at the University of Michigan with 2,440 yards. Scott averaged 5.5 yards a carry in four years with Ottawa in the Canadian League and led the league in rushing twice. Harraway took over for retired Ernie Green last season when Green was injured. The key to the offense is at quarterback.

like the way Bill Nelsen calls Collier said. mixes them up well, keeps the defense off But Nelsen, who has been plagued throughout his career with injuries to both knees, had cartilage removed from his left knee during the off-season. It is questionable whether he can physically endure the season and there is uncertainty in the ability of his two replacements. Ryan Hampered For five years, Frank Ryan was the first string quarterback, but he failed to move the club in the first three games last season and Nelsen took over.

But Rhome, who has had a sore passing arm, saw little action at Dallas and is still unproven. The top receivers again will be Paul Warfield and Gary Collins. Another target, tight end Milt Morin, is recovering from a back operation and unknown when, and how much, be after Oakland scored a field year, goal George Buehler, top replacement, Epa rookie from Stanford, recovered on the 25. The Raiders led all the way but Lamonica, playing nearly three periods, had his problems. He had three interceptions.

Trailing 6-2 entering the ninth, the Pirates began a rally when Al Oliver opened with a single and Manny Sanguillen reached first on an error. Cecil Upshaw replaced starter Ron Reed and walked the bases loaded. He then got a force-out at the plate before pinch-hitter Jerry May singled in two runs.

Paul Doyle then came on to retire the side. The Braves scored three runs iff Luke Walker, 2-4, in the first inning on five singles, with Orlando Cepeda, Boyer and Gil Garrido driving in runs.

Hutson Heads NFL's All-1930's Choices NEW YORK (AP) In 1935, a slim, 6-foot-l, 180-pounder named Don Hutson smeared black shoe polish on his cheeks to cut the glare of the sun and went out and showed the ground-oriented National Football League that receivers could be effective offensive weapons. Until Hutson devised a repet- oire oi fakes that today are called patterns, receivers in pro football usually ran to a designated area in a straight line and then awaited the pass. Hutson refined the art so that today the bomb has become pro most dangerous weapon. Now Hutson, and Arnie Herber, the quarterback who combined with him to form the first great passing combination in NFL history, have been named to the all-1930s team commemorating the 50th anniversary of pro football.

The 1930s team is the second of five teams, one for each of the decades in the half- century, honoring the players who have given the sport the impetus to grow and capture the imagination of so many sports fans in this country. To honor those players and tell the 50-year story of the NFL, the league, with Simon and Schuster, is publishing a book caUed The First Fifty Years, which highlit the decade teams. The culmination will be naming of an alltime NFL team covering those 50 years. Named to the all-1930s team with Berber and ttutson, who caught 488 passes for 7,991 yards and 100 touchdowns in his career, were such outstanding backs as Cliff Battles, Earl (Dutch) Clark, John (Johnny Blood) McNally, Bronko Nagur- ski and Ken Strong. Among the standout picked by Hall of Fame selectors in NFL cities were Albert Edwards, Joe Sty- dahar, Danny Fortmann and Mel Hein, currently supervisor of officials for the American Football League.

Collier believes Scott, Johnson, and other rookie backs will improve the kickoff and punt returns. Don Cockroft, who score to 14-6 when he fired a 22-yard touchdown pass to running back Larry Todd. Blanda added a 16-yard field goal with 1:04 left to play. Lamonica returned to the connected on 18 of 24 field goals game in the last quarter, moved the ball to the New York six and then threw his final touchdown pass to rookie Drew Buie with 14 seconds left.

The Patriots and the Lions did little to inspire the Montreal fans. The Patriots gained just four yards during a lustre first half. Errol Mann kicked three of his five field goals during that time and Gino Cappelletti countered with a 37-yarder. Cappelletti booted a 31-yarder in the third period and Mann a 12- yarder before the Lions broke it open. The other score came on a two-yard touchdown run by Mel Farr.

Cubs Purchase Oscar Gamble CHICAGO (AP) The Chicago Cubs moved Tuesday to improve their outfield by purchasing 19-year-old Oscar Gamble from San Antonio, their farm club in the Texas League. Gamble, one of the rookie stars of the spring training last March in Scottsdale, was batting .299 at the time of his call-up. He played 113 games, collecting 142 hits, 32 doubles, three triples, seven home runs, and 32 runs batted in.

One evening two years ago Boswell lost a game to Luis Tiant of Cleveland. In the clubhouse afterward, Boswell was still incensed by one particular call of the plate umpire. Boswell was fuming as he pulled off his sweatshirt.

Pinch-hitter Ron Hansen opened the ninth for Chicago with a single and Walt Williams reached base when Michael fumbled his grounder. After Luis Aparicio sacrificed, Don Pavletich flied out, but Bill Melton doubled in both runners to send the game into extra innings. Then in the 10th, Michael fumbled Ken grounder with one out and Cox threw wild on Bobby grounder.
