(UPI) Some sloppy pitching and Infield play by the Milwaukee Braves enabled the Pittsburgh Pirates to beat the National Tiger Rocky Bridges let the ball get away and Nat's Harmon Killebrew stole second AS OF TODAY who took over mound duties for the Tigers in that inning. Allison lined a single to cen terfield, stole second and scored on Dobbek's single. Both teams moved through the fifth inning; without mustering a threat. But then the Tigers, with the benefit of two Washington errors, struck for two more runs in the sixth and a 7-4 lead. Atfer Alvarez struck out, catcher Berberet singled to center, was sacrificed to second and scored on the first Senator" error of the inning.

Killebrew made a fine stop on Coot Veal's grounder, but threw wildly past first base, alowing Berberet to score and Veal to take third. Kuenn's grounder bounced off Bertoia's legs for another error with Veal scoring. Kaline forced Kuenn to end the inning. Bruce retired the Senators in order in their half of the sixth. THE TIGERS added another run and pushed their lead to 8-4 in the seventh with the help of another Washington error.

Washington relieved Bill Fischer in the seventh with Dick Hyde, submarining relief ace of last year's staff, and Harris greeted him with a long double off the centerfield wall. Larry Osborne singled to left sending Harris to third. When Allison made a wild throw to first for an error, Harris scored and Osborne went to second. Hyde bore down then, getting Milt Boiling to ground out, Alvarez to fly out and fanning Don Lee, pinchhitting for Bruce. The Senators tapped Lee for run in the bottom of the seventh.

NOW I STORES DOWNTOWN and WESTBORN Michigan at Outer Drive in Dearborn Phone (both stores) WO 2-2400 MIAMI THERE ARE RUMORS that Paul Rapier Richards, a tall Texan with baseball talent from Waxahachie, will be plying hfs managerial trade elsewhere than at Baltimore next year.

Has he seen the stories and heard the rumbles? Do they bother him? "Why should they?" he answered. "Maybe I started them myself." He grinned when he said it, but there was no humor attached. Paul Richards never was a humorous man. Beivare of Miami? Bright Lights THIS IS THE FIRST SPRING the Orioles have trained in the big city of stucco, sand and suntan. Although noted for such things, Miami also offers other inducements designed to separate visitors from their money and their sleep.

These latter items have kept many big league teams from coming down here. The Tigers, for example, wouldn't even play a game here until a few years ago He is especially non-funny this spring for he is perched on the hottest seat because their previous owner lights might have too great in baseball and he knows it-. "Let's talk about something else," he said. And we did, while the Orioles ruffled their feathers under a muggy. Miami sun.

But every now and then he would say something like, "We have some great prospects here, but they're still a year or two away They're kids I signed myself I sure would like to be around when they develop." athletes. "I don't even have a curfew," said Richards. "I don't believe in them anyway. All I told my players was that I'd be watching 'em every day on the field. If they acted like they had been out on the town the night before, I'd know it.

"You can teach a player how to be(a better athlete but if he's going to be a better man, it's up to him." By this time Milt Pappas had dipped back into the dugout after jogging around the park a few times, as per Richards' instructions. He had heard his manager's statement. "He's right about not having any curfew," Pappas panted. "It isn't necessary. After we get through out here, we're so tired we can't even stay up to see a movie." "But you're not so tired that you can't eat," Richards interrupted.

"Remember what I said about losing those seven pounds. And maybe you'd better run around the park once more just so you won't forget." Pappas got up again and said so long to the visitor. "Next time you see me you won't know me," he moaned. "He'll have me down to skin and bones.

Richards When he signed it, he assumed double-edged duties as manager and general manager. Just before the World Series last fall, he was told that he no longer would be general manager.

Brought in from the New York Yankee front office was Leland Stanford MacPhail, at a reported 30 grand a year. They couldn't cut Richards' salary. Simple arithmetic reveals that they are thus shelling out $75,000 to fill the two jobs despite a decrease in home attendance last season of a cool 200,000 cash customers. Maybe He'll Be Bach with Tigers SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. It won't be Richards unless they fire him.

And they will unless the Orioles fly high this season, an aerial maneuver they are equipped to accomplish only in name. There will be other jobs waiting for the tall man from The Yankees like him and Casey Stengel won't go on forever. A segment of the Tigers' ownership is high on him, too, while they wait to see what Bill Norman can do when starting from scratch. On the field rookie Dave Nicholson slammed a liner to left center. It bounced off the wall.

"That's what I mean about liking to be around here in a year or two," Richards advised. "He's as great a prospect as I ever have seen. But he looks like a bum on a curve ball and it doesn't have to be a real good curve ball either. "Daves' still learning. Maybe I'll take him north with us this year, but he's only 19.

I wouldn't want to push him too fast." Milt Papp'as, the Detroit pitcher, came by to say hello to the visitor. "What do you weigh now?" Richards asked. "Just 207," said the pitcher. "I told you to get rid of seven pounds," snapped his manager. "When are you going to do it?" "I'll start to diet tomorrow," Milt, a little sheepishly.

"You'll start today," said Richards. "Okay," said Pappas, "but it's going to be tough. If TV flu 1 BlT a er 9 1 fo a a 0 0 A tt 1 ill -l 4 VLi ff ti -i.
