"Consequently. I'm optimistic we can solve some of the problems ahead of us such as the and the playoffs. Actually they seem inconsequential compared to what we have been through in recent years. "Now. for the first time in a long time, we can go back to concentrating on providing the public entertainment which is our primary function. And I think we can take solid steps in that direction by setting up intelligent scheduling patterns the fans can understand. "Despite all our problems. I'm told we had dramatic ratings figures on tele vision for the 1976 season although all the figures aren't in." Thonc; DkUl!lr lmur.net Av.ll.bla to "' y Mac I ' ilr 373-C81- Elllb) Dorroo.n veteran relief pitcher, reportedly seeking a $500,000 salary for three "years, refused to play in any exhibition games without a contract and said he wanted to be traded if he didn't sign. Gabe Paul, the Yankee president, said he was tired of Lyle's "bull ." The last meeting between Lyle and Paul was two weeks ago and no future meetings were planned. So it came as something of a surprise Sunday when the Yankees announced they had signed Lyle, who led the American League with 23 saves last season while compiling a 78 record and 2 26 ERA, to a three-yea- r pact for an estimated $400,000. The AL champions also gave outfielder Roy White a three year contract for an estimated $375,000, reducing the number of unsigned players on the Yankee's roster to five. White, a 33 - year - old switch - hitting leftfielder with a .274 lifetime batting average, hit .286 last season with 14 homers, 65 RBI and 31 stolen bases. The Yankees still without contracts are first baseman Chris Chambliss, pitcher Dock Ellis, outfielders Oscar Gamble and Gene Locklear and shortstop Marty Perez. Lyle made his first appearance of the loss to the spring in the Yankees world champion Cincinnati Reds Sunday. He pitched the seventh inning without allowing a run to the team that swept the Yankees in four games in last year's World Series. Elsewhere in the camps. Atlanta relief pitcher Mike Marshall also made his first appearance of the spring, but yielded three runs and five hits in two 10 - inning innings in the Braves' Mets. York new the over triumph Brooks Robinson hit a grand slam home run in the fifth inning to help the Baltimore Orioles to a victory over the Texas Rangers ... Nonroster outfielder Randy Elliot continued his outstanding hitting with four hits in four including a triple and two home runs, to spark the San Francisco Giants to a win over the San Diego Padres. Elliot, who missed last season with a shoulder separation, scored four runs and drove in three. He is 23 for 35 in the spring, a .657 batting average. Dick Allen's failure to tag first base on a routine ground out allowed the Milwaukee Brewers to score all their runs in the seventh inning and beat the Oakland A's ... Denny Doyle had three hits, including two doubles, and knocked in four runs to lead the Boston Red Sox to a triumph over the Minnesota Twins. Wayne Simpson, cast off by three other major league teams this spring, ball pitched seven innings of four-hi- t and got credit for the victory in the decision over California Angels' 10-the San Diego Padres "B" squad. On three different occasions, the has been his team's final cut of the spring. He is competing with veteran Mike Cuellar for the final spot on the Angels' pitching staff. Marshall was a late arrival in the Atlanta camp because of a legal hassle involving the use of the Michigan State University campus. Marshall defended himself in a February trial which resulted in a hung jury. 3 !8y.v.k.:., tf jj 0 is- ; '.".' ':. 4 f ( ? ..,y.:.;;,,.v'!fe.-.- ',,.'. ;ss.sW. 5 12-- 8 Sunday.

"In the regular season," he said, "the first two teams of the previous year in a division would play 75 per cent of their games against the same teams. The same would be true of the third and fourth-plac- e teams. This way we wouldn't have a case as in 1976 when a team like the New York Giants, which finished down the line the year before, wound up playing the toughest schedule in the league. "Personally, I like the idea of a season, but we are going to have to look a bit closer before we decide on anything. It seems like it's the way to go because over the long run scheduling would be fairer for everyone." A new playoff format also will receive serious attention this week, but picking the dates for the college draft will have to await a judge's approval, expected in April, of the agreement recently reached by the NFL Players Association and the NFL Management MY 098 Whether you need $3.r00 or $10,000 get it from the people who lend millions.

"We are in a position now," Rozelle said, "to make concrete plans for the next five years. All the litigation and other problems are behind us, so this year's meetings will be different than any other we have had in recent years." In the planning, and high on the list as the meetings opened, was what is being referred to around here as the plan.
