3 -C Miller Just Does His Job BOSTON (AP) Why should adults get into a dither because Marvin Miller is muddying up the waters of content in The Summer Miller, after all. is only doing his job. pursuing a legitimate course in an attempt to better conditions for those who employ major league baseball players. He gets about $80,000 a year to perform this function, so why should we get all excited when the net result is confusion and I came to the conclusion the other day, as 1 sat steaming in an expressway tie-up. that the reason peopie of my age group get into a stew over Miller is that we want sports to be the way it was a generation ago.

We want all be the way we remembered them when the men in action were larger-than- life heroes and not just worried guys trying to make an extra buck. There is nothing wrong with the extra buck, of course. You like it and so do I. It pays the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, and you know how hard it is to get a candlestick maker for a house call these days. Money isn't evil, but when it gets tossed around in million dollar lots, it creates problems.

More hands get into the grab bag. Men fight over the dollar sign. Lawsuits arise. There is nothing illegal in the situation, understand, but somehow the entiie process offends the sense of rightness. Or consider McDaniels, a pro basketball player He left his American Basketball Association team in the middle of a fight for a playoff spot because Seattle of the NBA offered him a million dollars.

Seattle has since discovered that McDaniels is not a very good player, so there he is. sitting on the bench making more money than the President or a brain surgeon, and all very legitimate, but a fan doesn't understand it. Baseball ended in October and football start until then You would have laughed yourself silly if someone said there would be hockey in Atlanta and laughed even more if it was suggested that the Stanley ('up would be decided in May. Times have changed and that includes sports, and many of us kept in step, nor do we want to. We want it the way it used to be.

but we know impossible and what bothers us the most about Marvin Miller. South St. Entry Taking to the court in the Biddy Basketball program under the flag of South St. are the boys shown above. They are.

ENSHRINING ROBERTO (c) Times News Service NEW YORK During spring training of 1939 Lou (iehrig couldn't hit and he couldn't field. If he was reluctant to admit that his reflexes were shot, he could not avoid realization after the season began. On May 2. a historic day. a decision was reached by the seemingly indestructable Iron Horse, the man whose record of playing in 2.130 consecutive games seems unlikely ever to be surpassed.

He broke the news to Joe McCarthy, the Yankee manager, Pm benching myself," said Gehrig, have to do it for the good of the McCarthy knew how true self-diagnosis had been. Yet the manager was puzzled and disturbed, not much for Gehrig, the superstar, but for Gehrig, the person. The Yankees sent him to Mayo (Clinic for tests. The world was shocked to learn that the big slugger had been stricken by a slow degenerative illness affecting the motor pathways and cells of his central nervous system. Two years later this gentle giant was dead.

During the World Series that fall, however, the Baseball Writers Association of America met in annual meeting. The exact procedure is somewhat on the murky side but the motion reached the floor that Gehrig, the stricken hero, be voted into the newly opened Hall of Fame at The ground rules for election and the strictures on eligible voters were nowhere near as rigid as they are today. However, the gush of sentimentality swept forth with such strength that Gehrig was swept in by acclamation. The same sort of instant enshrinement is currently in the works for the late Roberto Clemente, another superstar'who has been cast in a different kind of heroic mold. A mail vote ot ttie eligible membership is being taken by Jack Lang, the computerized secretary-treasurer of the baseball writers, and results will be announced before the start of the season presuming the season ever starts.

The vote should be unanimous, of course, becau.se Roberto the Magnificent has more solid entrance qualifications than a high percentage of those already installed. He had a career batting average of .317 and last regular season base hit of his lifetime was his It was like a farewell kiss from poetic justice. Farewell it was. too. With his unselfish dedication to charitable ideals.

Roberto not only organized a relief mission to help the stricken victims of an earthquake in Nicaragua but his humanitarian zeal was such that he insisted on being aboard the cargo plane, ft crashed on New Year's Kve in the waters off his beloved Puerto Rico, was the best ballplayer 1 ever says Danny Murtaugh, his long-time manager on the Pittsburgh Pirates, This was not merely the emotional estimate of a sentimental Irishman because Danny had been saying the same thing for many years except that he used the present tense. All the experts agreed that Roberto ranked at the top and was as certain of eventual Hall of Fame enshrinement as Willie Mays. Henry Aaron and a few others of the ultra elite. What has happened now is that the tragedy of his death has served as an expediter. The baseball writers made formal requests to the directors at Cooperstown for permission to conduct a special election to consider Roberto for induction this year.

It would mean waiving the normal five-year waiting period, an academic technicality of no significance. Out went the ballots and the returns have begun coming in. Any baseball writer who fails to mark his ballot affirmatively should have his buttons snipped off while being drummed out of the regiment. Yet there may be a crackpot or two would regard the waiting period as sacred and therefore disapprove of the immediacy of this particular vote. There could be no other excuse and that one has no validity, catches Roberto made stands out in my mind." Murtaugh was saying the other day, came at risk of great per- injury and each had a vital part in the winning of a pennant although they were years apart.

We were in a scoreless tie with the Giants at F'orbes Field late in the I960 season when Willie Mays tagged one, Roberto turned his back on the ball and raced back, knowing he could not avoid crashmg into an unpadded wall. He still made the catch, the game and wound up with a dozen stitches in his chin. in a tie game with Houston during our pennant drive of 1971, Bob Watson hit one deep along the right field foul line. Two were out and the winning run was on its way home when Roberto tore across the field at full speed and made the catch as he crashed into the wall. He was knocked groggy but still hit a game- winning home run the next inning.

he was approaching his hit, I asked him if that would be the most important thing in his life. he said. have a project going in Puerto Rico for the underprivileged and I have made so much progress with the political men in our country that beginning to think my dream will come the Roberto Clemente I knew, the man who constantly thought of others instead of Marimville To Hold Race Snow means to snowmobilers. and Marienville has lots of it; and it anticipates a record number of sleds and spectators this weekend for the U.S.A.
