Pirates uitting Cincinnati Cincinnati nolds a 2-0 lead over Pfttsburgh Monday in the best-of-five National League playoff, but Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh says he ready to slit his throat and Reds skipper Sparky Anderson shouting for the champagne. Murtaugh, the doughty Pittsburgh boss, was shaving after the Pirates 2-1 loss to the Reds Sunday, the second straight defeat in their home stadium, when someone asked him if it was throat-slitting time. retorted little Danny, careful to lower the razor as he spoke. thought this was three out of he added. won three in a row a lot of times.

If he was, he managed to hide it. Sitting behind a desk in his visiting team office, the pilot explained his uneasy feeling. were beat by San Diego three straight at San Diego, so why Pittsburgh beat us three he asked. think the odds were too good for Pittsburgh to lose two straight in Pittsburgh.

Instead they w'on with solid pitching and scratched for runs. Maybe this is why Anderson is apprehensive. Take the second game Sunday, for example. It the big bats of National home run and RBI king Johnny Bench or the power of Tony Perez that turned the trick.

The slim, 170-pound Tolan, who led the major leagues in bases this turned on hi.s in the third to provide the first run. He singled up the middle, stole and continued to third when Pittsburgh catcher Sanguillen threw the ball into center field. The starter, lefty Luke Walker, was upset and he uncorked a wild pitch, Tolan scoring.

Then, in the fifth, Tolan caught a fast ball, waist high and down the middle and slammed it over the right- fence for a home run to make it 2-0. After the Pirates closed the gap 2-1, Tolan singled in the eighth and, with a burst of speed, scored all the way from first on double. In addition to Tolan, the hero list included 19-year- old Don (lullett, who still believe he's pitching in a National Lcgue playoff when only last year he was a high school pitcher. had it in mind to be a big league said the baby- face, curly-haired teenager, I figured it would take three or four (lullett relieved in the sixth with one run home and the Pirates still threatening.

Broncos Crawl Out of Dungeon, Pull Rug From Under KC, 26-13 UPI TELEPHOTO Kansas Gity quarterback Len Dawson spent a lot of time in this position Sunday as the Super Bowl champion Chiefs were dumped in Denver, 26-13.

By Associated Press The Denver Broncos, a dog-eared doormat in pro football dungeons for years, finally pulled the rug from under the Kansas City Chiefs and let the sun shine in. was a big the biggest since we came chortled coach Lou Saban after his perennial lambs tamed into tigers and shelled the powerhouse Chiefs 26-13 in the National League Sunday. boys played added the jubilant Saban, took a lot of people to get a victory like this. All you can say is that it was a great team effort. I know a cliche but about all you can If Saban was caught with his quips down, it was no wonder.

success was the first time since 1964 that the Broncos have beaten the Chiefs, last Super Bowl champs. In fact, Denver has mastered Kansas City only twice in its history. The Broncos never have had a winning year since 1960 and the closest come was a 7-7 mark in 1962. Among 13 pastings taken from the Chiefs include scores of 59-7 and 52-21 in 1963, 56-10 in 1966 and 52-9 in 1967. PS: victory gave Denver a 3-0 mark this year.

The Bronco buster paced a pattern of turnabouts on Black Sunday. Green Bay upset Minnesota 13-10, beating the Vikings for the first time at home since 1965; Buffalo derailed the highly-favored New York Jets 34-31 and St. Louis pulled off a 20-7 shocker over high-powered Cowboys. Los Angeles won as expected, rolling over San Diego 37-10; Washington stalled the Philadelphia Eagles 33-21; Atlanta slipped by San Francisco 21-20; New Orleans knocked off the New York Giants 14-10, the Baltimore Colts turned the tables on underdog Boston, grabbing a comeback 14 victory and Houston bullied Cincinnati 20-13. The manhunting defense played get-the- quarterback, and got to Kansas City ace Len Dawson seven times.

Saban was obviously satisfied with the performance: think we have shown in our three games so far that we can hang tough. To win in this league you have to be able to stop people, something this club been able to do in the Bob Howfield. former soccer player from England, kicked four field goals, one for 47 yards. The ferocious Bronco defenders let the big rough Chiefs score only one touchdown a drive late in the third period. Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr, listed as a questionable starter because of injuries, played the entire game.

He moved his team within field goal range for two three- pointers, and Dave Hampton provided the Pack with a 101-yard touchdown run on a kickoff in the fourth quarter. was a vicious defensive said was very rough and if you can win one like this, got to be pleased. In this kind of game, neither side gets a better system generated. The breaks make the Dennis Shaw, cucumber-cool under fire in his rookie season, passed for two touchdowns for Buffalo. His last scoring strike was the 25-yarder lo Marlin Briscoe with 7:20 left.

Joe Namath also threw two TD passes for the Jets. never really had a No. 1 said Shaw. kind of worked my way up to this point, and I hope to Orioles Repeat in American League Baltimore The streaking Baltimore Orioles charged into the 1970 World Series Monday, riding the seven-hit pitching of Jim Palmer to an easy 6-1 victory over Minnesota to complete a three-game sweep of the Twins in the American League championship playoff series. It marked the second straight year that the Orioles had wiped out the Twins in three straight playoff games and gave them 14 consecutive victories including the 11 straight they strung together at the end of the regular season.

Palmer was overpowering, striking out 12 Twins and dominating the show. Some shoddy Minnesota fielding and timely Baltimore hitting pro- vided three a 5-0 lead in the innings and after first that, Palmer, 20-10 during the regular sea.son, just coasted. The Birdls, who took charge early in each game of this series, nicked Jim Kaat for a run in the first on singles by Don Buford and Boog Powell sandwiched around Paul sacrifice. An inning later. Palmer lofted a short fly ball but there was a mixup between center fielder Ji-m Holt and second baseman Danny Thompson and the ball fell.
