'The fairways look wide but the contour of the ground is such that the actual width you aim for is cut down." Geiberger, unlike Snead who has three PGA titles in the long list of championships he had captured, has won two major crowns.

The Mets' manager, smiling beneficently Thursday after his club celebrated a 14-3 victory over San Francisco Giants and a club-record six - game win streak, said: BASEBALL SCORES | AND STANDINGS we'll be up there at the end of this month." Westrum did not specify where 'up there" was, but he made his point. Never in their five-year existence, have the Mets been able to consider any roblem more pressing than es- caping last place. But now, more than 10 games removed from the céliar, the Mets can begin to think the un- thinkable. Eighth place perhaps --only a half-game away. Or would you believe seventh? It's just two games ahead, STARTED WITH ASTROS The streak began with two doubleheader triumphs over Houston Astros and now has in- cluded two in a row over the Dodgers' derring-do 4-3 victory over Pittsburgh Pirates. Elsewhere in the National League, Chicago Cubs beat Cin- cinnati Reds 6-1, St. Louis Car- dinals outslugged Atlanta Braves 7-4 and Houston nudged Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 in 10 innings. Ed Kranepool and Jerry Grote" siammed three run homers in the Mets' pasting of the Giants and Cleon Jones con- tributed a bases-empty shot. The Dodgers and Pirates en- gaged in an old-time melo- drama, with Los Angeles win- ining in the 10th when reliever Pete Mikkelson hit John Ken- nedy with the bases loaded. BAILEY HOMERED triple and Curt Simmons pitched a three-hitter as the Cubs ended a four-game losing streak. Don Kessinger had a three-run triple in the eighth to give Chicago more than enough insurance. Curt Flood hit a three-run homer and Charley Smith and Orlando Cepeda added solo jobs, heiping' St; Louis to its victory: All the homers came in the fifth, Mike Cuellar saved a victory for Dave Giusti and Houston, coming in to relieve with two on and one out in the eighth and getting the Phillies out without a run. The Astros got all their 27th home runs and drove in three runs as Baltimore beat Detroit Tigers 6-4.
