Pinch-hitter Billy Goodman and Bubba Phillips singled home runs in the bottom of the 11th after Cleveland had taken a 4-3 lead in the top half of the inning.

Pitcher Tom Morgan was Double back in the fourth on singles by Bob Allison, Lemon and Julio Becquer, but Yogi Berra put the Yanks ahead again in the bottom of the inning when he hit his first homer of the season with the bases empty. The Senators tied the score in the seventh when Faye Throneberry singled home J. W.

Porter. Berra set a major league record in the nightcap by appearing in his 148th straight game without an error. Buddy Rosar held the previous mark of 147 games. DUREN, still not completely recovered from the flu stopped a Washington rally cold in the ninth inning to preserve Whitey Ford's third victory In the opener. Ford was coasting along with a 6-1 lead until the ninth when four straight singles by Porter, Samford, Jose Valdivielso and Ken Aspromonte produced two runs and brought in Duren from the bullpen.

Mantle started the Yanks on their way to their first victory at home in four weeks when he socked his fourth homer of the season in the first inning and the Bronx Bombers then paddled loser Chuck Stobbs for four more in the third. That rally represented the Yankees biggest inning since April 18 and clinched their first triumph at Yankee Stadium since they defeated the Red Sox on April 12. BERRA'S ground-rule double with the bases full scored the first two runs in the third and two more runs came in on an infield out and Howard's single.

'So 1 on the hand by a Paul That's 7 Wins Out Of Last 8 Narleski Does 'Saving9 Again BY HAL MIDDLESWORTH The Tigers found a new way to beat the Kansas City Athletics Sunday and keep their victory' fire blazing. It was close, 7-6, but the high-stepping Tigers did it all on their own this time after accepting two straight gift decisions from the jittery A's.

Lethal home run hitting and another spot of great relief pitching by Ray Narleski made it seven out of eight for manager Jimmie Dykes since he took over the reins. CHARLEY MAXWELL hit one out of the park for three runs. Lou Berberet followed suit with the bases empty, and Rocky Bridges came up with the homer which meant the difference in the long run. Narleski, back on the mound for the second tinw in three days, stuck in the storjDer when Roger Maris' second home run! of the game knocked Paul Foytack out of the box in the eignth inning. That blow cut the Tiger lead to a single run.

Firing "hot lead" the rest of the way, Narleski blanked the A's for two innings without a hit to save Foytack's first victory of the year after four straight losses. The Tigers, hottest team In the American League since the veteraji Dykes replaced Bill Norman a week ago, began their climb last Sunday with a double victory over the New York Yankees. TWO OUT of three against the Boston Red Sox followed, and they completed a series sweep against the Athletics Sunday before 9.7S3 cash customers and 3,060 Armed Forces Day guests. Foytack might have breezed au the way for his initial vic tory if it hadn't been for Maris who treats Briezs Stadium like a shooting gallery.

Home runs have led to his downfall every time. THE A'S HAD a 3-0 lead in two innings before Foytack could draw a deep breath.

Because he did, the 17-year-old St. Mary High School junior became the new champion of the second annual Free Press Singles bowling tournament. BY HAL MIDDLESWORTH History is repeating for the Tigers.

When Bill Norman replaced Jack Tighe as manager last June, the Tigers went right out and won seven of the first eight games under Norman's stewardship. Norman got the ax a week ago and now the Tigers of their first eight games. REMINDED of the fact after Sunday's 7-6 decision over the Kansas City Athletics, Dykes screwed up his face and replied: "Statistics! They don't mean a thing, not even that kind." This was the Tigers' last, game in Briggs Stadium until May 31. They will visit all seven of the other American League parks. THE TIGERS are rough on the Athletics and especially Bob Cerv.

The big slugger was knocked out of action while hitting in the first inning Sunday when one of Paul Foytack's pitches bruised his right thumb Cerv's jaw was fractured in a collision with Tiger catcher Bob Wilson last year and he later broke his toe in a collision with the leftfield wall at Briggs Stadium. Russ Meyer, third pitcher for the A's Sunday, had to leave the game when he was struck in the groin by a hot smash off the bat of Al Ka-line.

In the first two frames of the four-game test, he missed the headpin. But on Alley No. 1, his off-line throw still carried for a strike. THAT PECULLVR circumstance convinced Bobby that he would have to be different.

He decided to get strikes whatever way he could. From then on, whenever his turn came on Alley No. 1, righthanded Bobby would line himself up at the left corner and fire a straight ball into the Brooklyn or 1-2 pocket. Such tactics are unheard of in orthodox bowling right handers shoot on the opposite side, at the 1-3 pocket. Yet, it's, difficult to fault Bobby's method.

HE PRODUCED more strikes on Alley No. 1 than he did on Alley No. 2, where he retained the conventional righthander's approach. In the first game Bobby's daring produced five strikes on Alley No. 1, three more in the second game, five in the third and three more in the fourth.
