CLEVELAND (UPI) Charlie Spikes drove in two runs with his third homer of the season and a single and Gaylord Perry tossed a six-hitter Friday night as the Cleveland Indians extended Boston's losing streak to six games with a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox. Spikes staked Perry to a 1-0 lead in the first inning by lining a single off shortstop Luis Apa-ricio's glove to score Rusty Torres from second and triggered a two-run sixth inning with a blast deep into the leftfield stands off Boston starter Marty Patti. After Spikes' homer, George Hendrick singled and took second when Dave Duncan extended his hitting streak to seven games with a single to left. Buddy Bell forced Duncan at second and Hendrick scored on Jack Brohamer's single to right. Bob Bolin replaced Pattin and struck out Leo Cardenas to end the inning.

Perry, who went the distance for the fourth time in four starts this season, walked two and struck out nine in picking up his third victory against one loss. Both Boston runs came on home runs by designated hitter Orlando Cepeda in the second and of the season a 375-foot shot into the Brewers' bullpen in rightcenter. Hands Pops Rangers BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (UPI) Bill Hands yielded four hits and struck out eight, including Mike Epstein four times, as the Minnesota Twins defeated the T-xas Rangers, 5-1, Friday. Rich Hand suffered his first loss of the year as he gave up seven hits and all five runs.

Hands allowed the Rangers just one single through the first six innings while running his record to 2-1. He lost his shutout in the eighth when Joe Lovitto doubled, went to third and scored on Toby Harrah's infield single. Minnesota scored single runs in the first, second and fourth innings and added two unearned runs in the fifth when Texas made two errors. Rookie shortstop Jerry Terrell made his first start for Minnesota when Danny Thompson injured an ankle during pre-game warmups. Terrell got his first major league hit, a run scoring single the fourth and brought home another run on a bases-loaded sacrifice bunt in the fifth inning.

rightfielder Ben Oglivie in the eighth. It was the third of the year for Cepeda and the first for Oglivie. Brewers Blank Yanks MILWAUKEE (UPI) Dave May's two-run homer in the sixth and Jim Slaton's five-hit pitching gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 2-0 win over the New York Yankees Friday night. It was the Brewers' sixth straight victory over the Yankees, including the last five games of last year's season series.

"He's right here in spring ball now," noted Stolz. "He was a mid-year graduate and he enrolled so we'll get a good chance to look at him."

"We're very happy with the group of people we recruited," said Stolz.

"We feel some of them have an excellent oppor-t i to contribute next year." IN FACT, one of Stolz's big selling points as he roamed the countryside in search of ball players was that a freshman who was good enough to play wouldn't have to wait at MSU. "We're not a deep football team," explained Stolz. "We used this theme all through our recruiting. We felt the freshmen would have a good chance to push for playing time. We've got three or four BY CURT SYLVESTER Free Press Sports Writer The way Michigan coach Bo Schembechler sees it, he's recruited 24 potential All-America football players.

And that's just one more than Denny Stolz got in his first recruiting season as the head coach at Michigan State. If past performance is any indicator, out of the 24 U-M recruits and the 23 at MSU will come one or two All-Ameri-cans, at least that many washouts and a lot of good, average Big Ten football players.

As was the case last year, coach Bo Schembechler and his staff divided up the seniors and the seniors drafted underclassmen to fill out the squads for the annual intersquad contest, "A lot of kids are banged up because we scrimmaged a lot the last two weeks," said Schembechler Friday. "I don't know how it's going to look. But we put stock in it because it's an enthusiastic game. "From technical aspects, the team's mixed up so we don't get the execution we normally would. But we'll get an enthusiastic scrimmage." Among the missing Saturday will be No.

1 quarterback Dennis Franklin who suffered a back injury last week. Tailback Harry Banks will also be out with an ankle injury. Tom Slade will quarterback a backfield of fullback Ed Shuttlesworth, tailback Chuck Heater and wingback Larry Gustafson while Larry Cipa quarterbacks the opposing unit, surrounded by fullback Bob Thornbladh, tailback Gil Chapman and wingback Clint Haslerig. Game time will be 1:30 p.m. in Michigan Stadium.
