He says his arm hasn't hurt a bit, not even the first time he threw. It looks to me like he's going to be 100 percent." Hiller claims he can still feel a small lumpiunderneath his left arm where the actual injury occurred. But he reports no pain at all.

He was restored to the active roster Monday and is eligible to pitch at any time. Minnesota 5, Texas 3. Kansas City 4, Chicago innings. California 4, Oakland I. SFllDlMfS Baltimore 3-1, Cleveland 2-2, first game 11 innings.

Boston 7, New York 4. BY JIM HAWKINS Free Press Sports Writer John Hiller set foot on the Tiger Stadium mound Tuesday for the first time since he injured his talented left arm more than a month ago. He lasted exactly one pitch. Relax. There's no reason for alarm.

The Tigers' remarkable relief ace didn't reinjure his arm. He didn't throw the ball hard enough to hurt anything. Besides, he and the batter, rookie pitcher Gene PenU, were just fooling around. Nevertheless, Tiger pitching coach Steve Hamilton immediately chased Hiller off the mound, and assumed the task of throwing batting practice to IGMHI50NBC fit, GlNUNl GOOOftARWllI CONSIHUCIION 1 1 I cusHiwimsou xv VV- WEDNESDAY'S GAMES New York (Hunter 13-13) at DETROIT (LaGrow 7-13), 8 p.m. Boston (Wise 17-8) at Baltimore (Palmer 20-8), 7:30 p.m.

But the incident was indicative of a couple of things. For one, it demonstrated how eager Hiller is to begin pitching again.

And how much confidence he has that the muscle he pulled July 25 is healing properly, and on schedule. At the same time, it showed just how cautious the Tigers intend to be about this whole thing.

"If he keeps throwing like this, I'll probably let him pitch sometime near the end of the season," said Houk. "But I'm not going to rush it.

"He's way ahead of where I thought he'd be. I figured he'd be stiff as hell. But I watched him throw in the bullpen and he was really popping the ball. "He tried to tell me he was only throwing at three-quaiters speed, but he was throwing harder than I've seen him throw in some games," the Tiger manager continued.

Batting 1 BBGK IB Continued from First Sports season in the Tigers' half of the fourth, the Brewers grabbed the lead back and said good-by to Coleman at the same time with three runs in the fifth. First, they filled the bases on singles by Charlie Moore and Bob Sheldon with a walk to Robin Yount in between. One Brewer crossed the plate while Sharp was forcing Sheldon at second and Scott sent another home with a single that also sent Coleman to the clubhouse to bathe.

A good portion of the 6,263 in attendance on the chilliest evening since last spring let Coleman know precisely how they felt about his performance. And the Tiger righthander, who had been forced to skip his last two starts because of a sore arm, responded by first doffing his cap to the crowd, and then by blowing a kiss to the booing partisans. Henry Aaron's sacrifice fly off reliever Fernando Arroyo made it 5-2, somewhat reducing the impact of the run the Tigers produced in the bottom of the inning on a pair of sin-' gles by Tom Veryzer and John Knox and Danny Meyer's fly ball to right. The Brewers increased their advantage the following inning when Mike Hegan walked and Moore doubled. And Milwaukee was mighty happy to have that run when Meyer homered for the seventh time this year with two gone and Knox waiting on first base in the bottom of the ninth.

That brought the Tigers to within one, again, but that was as close as they got as the Brewers' Ed Rodriguez got Willie Horton to foul out to Scott to end the game. lis pi tswpf- Kip AS RBI 26 3B HR B6 SO SB Ave Knox 74 8 7 3 2 1 0 0 6 6 1 5 .303 Horton 521 53 141 SO 10 1 21 38 101 1 0 271 LeFlore 491 60 129 34 11 6 8 30 121 27 8 .263 Humphrey 23 0 6 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 .261 Roberts 398 49 104 36 15 5 10 31 83 3 5 .261 Oglivie 144 33 63 22 9 1 5 10 49 a 4 .258 Stanley 164 26 42 19 7 3 3 15 27 1 2 .256 Sutherland 437 46,. 112 36 10 3 5 42 33 20 .256 Freehan 370 38 94 42 14 3 13 25 47 4 .254 Rodriguez 429 43 109 57 18 4 13 26 53 1 20 .254 Meyer '380 50 96 41 15 3 7 22 18 6 11 .253 Veryzer 330 29 81 40 8 1 4 16 65 2 19 .245 Pierce 165 18 39 22 6 1 8 20 38 0 13 .236 Wockenfuss 112 15 26 13 6 3 4 9 14 0 4 .232 Michael 138 15 29 12 1 0 3 8 28 0 10 .210 Baldwin 50 3 10 5 2 0 2 1 5 0 0 .200 Brown 29 1 5 2 1 0 1 6 3 0 0 .172 Total! 4561 506 1144 485 141 36 111 323 751 52 152 .251 Pitching CG IP ER BB SO ERA Pentz 0 3 0 173 13 6 3 15 15 1.56 Miller 2 3 0 70V3 52 20 17 36 87 2.17 Bare 8 9 6 133V3 137 55 52 39 67 3.50 Lolich 11 15 17 2113 228 101 85 57 123 3.61 Ruhle 10 10 7 170VS 177 91 73 58 63 3.86 Arroyo 1 0 0 34- 34 18 17 18 17 4.46 LaGrow 7 13 7 142', 163 92 72 54 63 4.55 Walker 3 8 1 103V3 100 64 53 35 52 4.60 Lemanczyk 2 4 1 82 91 50 42 43 49 4.61 Coleman 9 15 3 168 204 118 105 74 108 5.60 Totals S3 82 42 1189 1260 652 545 457 6fll 4.13 SALE ENDS Saturday rl Ufliftl rii mmm mm tm mm m.

NASTASE, who won this tournament in 1972, and Ramirez, one of the b.est players ever to come out of Mexico, treated the gallery of 10,662 at the West Side Tennis Club to a pulsating up-and-down struggle that left many of the spectators gasping.

The mustachioed Ramirez appeared a beaten man when Nastase through the third set in 15 minutes and took a 4-2 lead in the fourth. However, the slim Mexican tightened his game and fought back to a 6-6 tie, necessitating a 12-point tie breaker which he won. In the (ie breaker, he raced to a 41 lead, but Nastase bat-tied back to make it 5-4 Rami-rez, with the Mexican serving. Ramirez clinched the tie breaker, 7-4, with a forehand crosscourt volley and a deft drop shot that caught the Romanian flatfooted. The fans then settled back for a fifth-set battle which never really developed.

Ramirez changed tactics, started going for inners and lost the patience that had carried him to tliis stage.
