The San Francisco 49ers opened at Kezar Stadium with a dull exhibition win hopes dashed by a 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Mistakes in the second half spoiled a halftime lead, as Seattle struggled to capitalize.
O J Simpson debuted for Buffalo in an inter-league game against Detroit, gaining 22 yards on four carries and one reception with a 16 yard run and a 40 yard catch. He played 15 plays amid limited practice since signing last Saturday, while Lions led 14 2 at halftime and scored twice in the first half.
Baltimore Colts edge Houston Oilers 28 29 after a dramatic late scoring drive. Karl Morrall connected with Willie Richardson for the 64 yard touchdown as time expired. Roy Gerela had a late go ahead field goal for Houston, Perry Dunn and Terry Lagan contributed early scores, and Beathard interceptions fueled Baltimore drives.
Reese led the Minnesota Twins to a 2-0 victory over the Washington Senators with three singles. Cesar Tovar and an infield hit by Random produced the first run in the opening inning, and Oliva along with Lea Cardenas added the third inning scoring sequence.
Floyd of Lake Havasu City, Ariz, rebounded from a sleepless night to string a birdie binge after a rocky start, firing a standout back nine that included birdies and an eagle as he moved into contention at the NCR event. Lee led midway with a subpar 32-34 -6, while Bies and Moody chased on a tight 36-hole leaderboard at the National Cast Register course.
At least 27 living Hall of Fame members will attend the event at Busch Stadium on Sunday August 24 for a salute. Miss Mann provided steady play, finishing with a 34 after nine holes, dropping a few short putts and carving par rounds on the back nine with two bogeys.
Carol Mann shot a 70 to seize a two stroke lead over Kathy Whitworth and Judy Kimball as heavy rains and waterlogged greens disrupted the round at Kansas City. Contenders Sue Benning Sharon Miller and Sandra Spuzich posted 73s, with Margie Mast and others close behind for the money win in the LPGA event.
The Oakland Raiders visit the San Diego Chargers in a bid for their first exhibition win. Coach John Madden plans an all veteran offense with Lamonica at quarterback and Wells and Rietnikoff as receivers, while Madden monitors injuries on the defense. Chargers anticipate Lance Alworth and Dick Post returning to boost a cautious offense.
Cincinnati reports the Pittsburgh Pirates sold veteran right-hander Jim Bunning to the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash and two minor league players Chuck Goggit and Ron Mitchel. Bunning, 37, was 10-3 with a 3.47 ERA for Pittsburgh this season and had joined the club in 1967 via trade from Philadelphia. He has never won 20 games and has not played on a pennant winner.
Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati 5-1 behind Bob Veale’s strong pitching and two homer games by Al Alley. Al Oliver and Willie Stargell contributed RBIs, with Alley hitting two long balls and Oliver also homering in a rain-delayed contest.
