Steve Brickman was the most upset of the personnel specialists. You mean to tell me Mike Andrews, Reggie Smith, and Carl Yastremski arent on the starting team.

They are the Chicago Cults, Boston Red Sox, and the New York Mets. Each fen of his respective team claims the 1969 pennant flag. Some use facts and logic, as Lt.

Personally, it is almost impossible to count ths hours, days, months and years of pleasure baseiiall has given me. Sports News Magazine perhaps made the most appropriate comment on the game a few years ago in its editorial. Ernie Har- well, noted lttsehall broadcaster and reporter for many years wrote: Baseiiall is the President of the United States throwing out the first ball of the season And a schoolboy firing the ball at a 100 miles an hour into his fathers mitt behind their Iowa farmhouse.

The Skul Valley Riders take their hats off to the girls for a job well done. HOT STOVE CORNER! Septemlier. Baseball nicknames. is Names like Zeke, Pie, Pee Wee, Lippy, Duke, Dizzy and Daffy. It's the clear, cool eyes of Roger Hornsby and Ted Williams; the flashing spikes of Tv Cobb; the arm of Carl Furillo, the easy trot of the DiMaggio brothers and the curve ball of Koufax. AMERICAN SPIRIT Baseiiall? It's just a game as simple as a ball, bat and glove. Yet, as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. Its a sport, business and sometimes even a religion.

Rozelle, who wanted Joe back in the sport, didnt act like a bouncer trying to throw the quarterback out of the saloon he cherishes, as many sports writers are trying to lead us to lielieve. Man, that is pure hogwash! Rozelle treated Namath with respect. Obviously, Rozelle. believed Namath was being conned by New York weasels and he was therefore sympathetic. Joe contends that his refusal to on the East ,get out of Bachelor III, a joint in Modland Side of New York, was a matter of principle. He claims he wasn't doing anything wrong and even Rozelle agreed with him. But damaging stories have been leaked to publications by. law enforcement agencies. The articles put notorious gangsters in Bachelor III. Some of the revelations astonished Namath, although he still refused to believe most of it in New York," .sports columnist There is a Jimmie Cannon wrote, who handles the action on footliall. who is trimmed liy the angled It is alwavs the games. This guy knows more about footliall than most coaches. He is positive there hasn't lieen anything kinky aliout any game in which Namath played. Joe resented that guilt by association thing and I don't blame him one bit. And to lie a man of principle in the year 1969 is something to respect. But remeinlier the Alie Fortas case. Hie Supreme Court Justice was wrong in what he did liecau.se he sat on the liench. There is a double standard for quarterliacks too. The footliall scandals of 1963 began with innocent, relationships between players and hustlers. Loyalty can be a flaw if you try to go along with hoodlums. Honest guys can get caught in the middle. At first Joe stayed with his all you had to friends, and sure they knew all the answers do was ask them. Mavlie Joe read some stories aliout the Mafia taking over legit businesses, burning down warehouses and killing people. It's a dangerous league to play in; Don't go cutting up Namath though, this was no stunt. The guy was honest and sincere. Sure there is the liearxl. the girls, mod clothes, the thing aliout his image and a swinging playlxiy night life. But I ask you what is wrmig with that? lie's single, likes girls and lielieves in having a pretty good time. Hiat sounds normal to me. Sometimes people are too quick to criticize. Joe Namath was on top of the sports world. Publicity was his shadow, he didn't need any cheap print. His personal friend, Robert Sar-- I miff, the President of NBC, could have stepped in and exerted his influence on Rozelle but Namath doesn't play the game that way. A 21 dealer in Las Vegas summed it up liest I think. at his table last week. told me that Namath won )lle .The guvs got class," he said. I don't know what else Namath did in that Nevada trip and I guess that's his business. 1 do (know one thing though, when Joe Namath agreed to sell Bachelor III. football got itself a big winner.

And so is the scout reporting that a young sandlot pitcher in Great Bend, Kan., will be another Carl Hubbell. Baseball is a spirited race of man against man, reflex against reflex. A game of inches. Every skill is measured. Every heroic, every failing is seen and cheered or booed. And then becomes a statistics. In baseball, democracy shines its clearest. The only race that matters now is the race to the bag. The creed is the rule book. And color is merely something to distinguish one teams uni- form from another's. Baseball is a rookie his experience no bigger than the llump in his throat trying to begin fulfillment of his dream.
