Th IndeK-Jowmol, Gr nwood, Friday, Morch 7, 197S 1 3 Pitching Machines Are Of The Hitters 'V Ml Ahead By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer The pitchers are ahead of the hitters. Shucks, the hitters aren't even ahead of the pitching machines. In an intrasquad game Thursday at the St. Louis Cardinals' spring training camp, the George Kissells defeated the Vera Ben sons 3-0. Ron Fairly drove in two runs with a homer and single and Luis Melendez, Ted Sizemore and Jim Dwyer had two hits each.

"Iron Mike," the club's pitching machine, yielded 10 hits to the Kissells and only four to the Bensons. "How can you get shut out by a machine?" Benson asked. if you're not digging in, which the Cincinnati Reds weren't after a run-in with their pitching machine. The machine, programmed to throw strikes, began throwing beanballs instead. Darrel Chaney was hit on the left arm when he threw it up to protect his head and Ken Griffey was hit on the right hand.

Both players were treated with ice packs and continued practice. The batters stop facing Texas squad opposes the Mexico City Reds in Mexico City. Perhaps the most interesting development of the first day's exhibitions will be outfielder Roy White's debut at first base for the Yankees. The Yanks are trying to keep left fielder-designated hitter White in the lineup, but Lou Piniella won the left field job last spring and Ron Blomberg will be the DH, at least against right-handed pitching. On the salary scene, the Montreal Expos renewed the contract of holdout Dave McNally, the left-handed pitcher acquired in an offseason swap with the Baltimore Orioles.

McNally, the only unsigned Expo, reportedly was seeking a boost from the $120,000 he made with the Orioles to $150,000. General Manager Jim Fanning said the club took its action which means McNally must play for last year's salary in compliance with baseball regulations after "exhaustive efforts to satisfy Dave have failed." Meanwhile, the Oakland A's signed shortstop Bert Cam-paneris for a "substantial increase in salary."
