Bad Blood Erupts at Pittsburgh By JOHN CARROLL Pittsburgh (UPI) It ap peared almost certain today that nothing short of official league action would cool off a sizzling "duster" duel be tween the Pittsburgh Pirates and pace-setting San Francis co Giants. The latest bad-blood inci dent between the two clubs occurred Sunday at Forbes Field where the Giants swept a double-header from the Pir ates, 5-2 and 6-1. This double win, coupled with Milwaukee's split with Chicago, lifted the Giants to 2Vz games ahead of the second-place Braves. The thing that sent the sea son's biggest home crowd of 35,797 into near frenzy was a blow-up in the fifth inning of the opener when Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh and Giant pitcher Ruben Go mez squared' off in a bat wielding, fist-swinging melee. It started after Gomez, who notched his fifth win of the season and long has been ac cused by other players in the league of throwing dusters, hit Pirate second baseman Bill Mazeroski in the left arm during the fourth inning. Mazeroski had lifted his arm to protect his head. When Gomez came to bat an inning later wearing only a regulation cap, plate umpire Frank Dascoli ordered him back to the bench to get a protective helmet. Gomez Sent Sprawling Then Vernon Law, who was struck on the head by one of Gomez's pitches last fall, fired a fast ball high and on the in side that sent the . batter sprawling. Dascoli went to the mound to warn Law . and Murtaugh charged from the Pirate dug out to intercede for his pitch er. On the way, he shouted a remark to Gomez, who in turn allegedly made an "un complimentary gesture" in Murtaugh's direction. The Pirate manager turned on his heels and raced toward Gomez with fists clenched as Giant coach Herman Franks and Pirate catcher Danny Kravitz tried to restrain him. Murtaugh threw one punch, but missed and Gomez swung his bat twice but wasn't in range. Meanwhile, players poured off both benches and converge ed at home plate, in one push ing, tugging and swinging mass. Not a blow connected. Gomez was disarmed of his bat by an unidentified Giant, but his roomate and close friend first baseman Orlan do Cepeda ran toward the Giant batrack to obtain an other. Cepeda was brought down by Willie Mays' flying tackle and the ruhubarb was quelled after Murtaugh was thumbed out of the game. Murtaugh explained later that he "saw red" when Go mez gestured at him. "I just went after the guy," the usually quiet but trigger tempered Irishman said. "I'm surprised to hear he swung his bat at me. At the time I was so hot, I didn't notice it." Giant manager Bill Rigney said he was "spinning like a top" when caught in the mass of players swirling around home plate. Rigney had no immediate comment but did say that Curt Raydon, who pitched the nightcap Sunday, "took a cou ple of shots at my boys in San Francisco." Law's only comment was: STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE W L Pet.
