Kingman, who led the major leagues with 48 homers last season, opened the second inning with a homer off Ray Burns.

One out later, Martin hit another. Chicago took a 5-1 lead in the third when Kingman hit a three-run homer off Bums, who was lifted when Ken Henderson followed with a double. New York scored once in the second and twice in the third off Dennis Lamp, who allowed eight hits and three runs in six innings before being relieved by Bill Caudill. Cy Young Award winner Bruce Sutter pitched the ninth. Lenny Randle hit a solo homer for the Cubs off Kevin Kobel, the second of five New York pitchers, in the fourth and Martin led off the seventh with a homer.

Following the first home runs by Kingman and Martin, the Mets scored in the second on three successive hits. John Stearns doubled, took third on a single by Jerry Morales and scored on Doug Flynn's hit. New York cut the Cubs' lead to 5-3 in the third when Elliott Maddox opened with a single, moved to second when Lee Mazzilli walked and scored on Mike Jorgensen's double. Mazzilli moved to shots chance to cap his hopeful, but unsuccessful, comeback in the event he has won five times. Ballesteros, the current British Open champion who celebrated his 23rd birthday last Wednesday, was a little more "If I continue to putt the way I've been putting, I will be very close, I think," he said.

He was cautious only in his comments, however. His play was the bold, daring, gambling style Palmer used to popularize the game a generation ago. And, like Palmer of those glory days, his gambles paid off. He played extremely well in Thursday's first round. He cut back on the power of his drives and kept them in play.

This time he reverted to a more familiar form. The drives went booming from the tees. And they often went clattering and clacking among the pines. He converted three high, screaming hooks into birdies. It was unorthodox.

But it was spectacular. And it worked. "Good drives," Ballesteros said, straight-faced as could be, of the errant shots that somehow he turned into birdies. When Nicklaus was told how Seve played the 17th hole making birdie after driving on to the seventh green Jack simply cradled his head in his hands.

LOUIS (AP) Ed Ott hit a run-scoring double in the seventh inning and a two-run single in the ninth, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-3 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals Friday night. With St.

Louis leading 3-2, Dave Parker opened the ninth by reaching base on shortstop Garry Templeton's throwing error. Willie Stargell drew a walk off Don Hood and, two outs later, Ott singled off Mark Littell. Grant Jackson, the last of three pitchers, was the winner as the Pirates rallied from a 3-0 deficit. The Cards scored three runs in the sixth inning, aided by an error by Tim Foli. Keith Hernandez led off the sixth with a single, Ted Simmons flied out and Bobby Bonds singled.

George Hendrick hit a grounder up the middle that was a potential inning-ending double play ball, but Foli booted it and then threw wildly as Hernandez scored. Ken Reitz and Ken Oberkfell followed with run-scoring singles. St. Louis starter Bob Forsch surren boosts to four AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Severiano Ballesteros slashed his way to 69 that separated him by four strokes from the rest of the field Friday in the 44th Masters golf tournament.

It was a performance that put the Spaniard in solid control of the annual spring classic and prompted some of the world's great players to shower him with praise. "Gary Player said it best at the foreign players dinner the other night," said Australian David Graham. "Seve is, quite simply, the best young player in the world." Jack Nicklaus agreed. "He probably has as much talent as any young kid that's come along in a long time," Nicklaus said. "He's won a major.

He's been in contention in other majors. He's an accomplished player. "At his age, with his accomplishments, with his strength, with his putting, he's going to be playing very, very well for a long time." Already the conqueror of European golf, Ballesteros is bidding to capture the imagination of America with his driving, dramatic style of play that conjours up images of the young Arnold Palmer. His 36-hole total of 135 left him nine shots under par. He was simply spectacular.

He put himself in a position where the Masters is his to win or lose. "He's going to be very hard to catch," observed Tom Watson, the outstanding player in golf for the past three years, from a position seven strokes back. The eventual outcome of the tournament, "all depends on what Ballesteros does," said Nicklaus, now 10 behind and all but deprived of a Golfer AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Calvin Peete rolled up Augusta National's legendary Magnolia Lane in a black Rolls Royce coupe and dumped a matched set of golf clubs on the clubhouse steps. He was ready for the Masters the second black man to play in the prestigious invitation tournament.

Lee Elder became the first in 1975. "The Masters is a classy tournament," said the 36-yearold one-time bean picker and jewelry peddler, who never saw a golf club until he was 23. "When you play it for the first time, you ought to show up in style." Peete not only showed up in style, a friend at the wheel of a harrowed luxury limousine, he stayed for dinner. He shot rounds of 73-71 for an even par 144 to qualify easily for the final two rounds today and Sunday. He was a shot better than Jack Nicklaus.

Elder, the precedent-setter, failed to make the cut, shooting 76-77153. Pirates a ST. LOUIS So close. That's how Bill Madlock figures it. The Pittsburgh Pirates' third baseman from Decatur thinks the National League East scramble will go down to the wire.

Just like last season when the Pirates won on. the last day. "The top four teams are separated by about one-half of a player," Madlock explained. "Us, Montreal, Philadelphia, St. Louis." Naturally, Madlock figures Pittsburgh will repeat.

Despite what seems to be a shortage of starting pitchers. "We have the best bullpen Tekulve, Jackson, Romo, Roberts," Madlock pointed out. "The starters know they need to go just seven innings. "The starters. Three good ones Blyleven, Candelaria, Bibby.

Rooker can start, too. Robinson? Sure, he's on the disabled list. He'll be back April 18. Rhoden? He'll be back. He's at Portland testing his arm.

"They say we don't have enough starters. Well, Robinson and Rhoden didn't do much last season. And we won. (Robinson was 8-8. Rhoden pitched in just one game after being obtained from Los Angeles).

"If we get pitching like in the opener, we'll win 110 games." Blyleven and Romo limited the Cardinals to three hits and lost 1-0 to Pete Vuckovich. "The pitchers are ahead of the hitters right now," Madlock pointed out. "That's because we missed eight exhibition games. The hitters haven't regained their timing." Dave Parker agrees. The slugging Pirates outfielder said: "It's spring.

This is the way it always is. The pitchers have the advantage. Of course, you don't see pitching the caliber of Vuckov-ich's in spring training. The pitchers save the goodies for now." The Pirates and Cardinals are eight times in the first 10 games. Giving Vuckovich at least one more start.

"No big dear," declares Madlock. "Nothing will be decided," third on the double and scored on Stearns' double. Singles by Frank Taveras and a double by Steve Henderson produced another Mets run in the seventh off Caudill. Sutter allowed the final New York run in the ninth when Mazzilli beat out an infield hit, stole second and scored on Jorgensen's single.

I never was a man much for jewelry.

When I got stuck with diamond rings, I put a couple of the diamonds about a half a karat in my teeth." "What was the reaction of the people when they saw you coming up the clubhouse circle in a Rolls?" somebody asked Peete after he had shot a second-round 71.

Flanagan, a 23-game winner last season, issued two walks in the first inning before Johnson hit a homer to wipe out a 2-0 Baltimore lead produced by Ken Singleton's first-inning homer. Then, after Rick Dempsey restored Baltimore's lead with a two-run homer in the second, Nordhagen's shot, following 'a walk to Johnson, put the White Sox in front to stay.

This is his seventh major league season. he was up at the end of the 1973 season before coining up to stay with the Chicago Cubs. "I hurt my right knee in the Super Teams TV competition in Hawaii," Madlock said. "Twisted ligaments. Nothing serious.

I'm at about 80 percent efficiency. I'll play my way back to 100 percent. The two-time National League batting champion was in eight spring training games, batting .480. It continued a hitting rampage since he was traded by the San Francisco Giants. Madlock batted .328 for the Pirates with a 10-game hitting streak at the end of the season, then batted .375 in the World Series.
