32 "Miami Three 7 Receives Initial WFL Paychecks NEW YORK (UP1) Not that they actually were worried, but for the first time the Miami Csonka, Jim Kiick and Paul got to see the color of the World Football League's money the other day. The WFL's money is the same color as the NFL's, a nice cool green. In this case, it came to one million bucks, cash on the barrelhead. This represented the first installment on that bulky $5 million-plus package it took to get the three Miami players to jump from the NFL to the WFL. The money was paid by the Memphis Southmen, known as the Toronto Northmen until only a short time ago, and spread out among Csonka, KLick and Warfield.

"It didn't make me feel rich," said Kiick, the Dolphins' 27-year-old running back. "I never got to see the money. It went right to Mark McCormack (the agency handling the three players' finances) and what made me feel good was talking to the investment counselors and listening to the way the money was being invested." Jim Kiick put in seven years with the Dolphins and is one of their more versatile backs. He was the one they called on for the short yardage. But he finds he has become much more of a celebrity since he decided to go over to the other league along with Csonka and Warfield beginning in 1975.

He is questioned a lot more by people than he was in the past and he is sought more for appearances. Kiick finished competing in the Dewar's Sports Celebrity Tennis championship in Las Vegas Tuesday and enjoyed meeting all the others who participated. His doubles' partner was miler Jim Ryun, with whom he spoke at length. He also had a long conversation with another of the competitors, Walt Frazier of the New York Knicks. "We talked about everything, basketball, football, people," Kiick said.

"I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know Walt Frazier. He's quite an individual." Kiick had no desire whatsoever to go out and indulge himself after signing with the new league. His share alone came. to around a million. Some people keep asking him what he did with the money and his answer is always the same really.

"I don't need any yachts," he says. "We fixed up the house a little bit. We got some furniture we needed." Csonka has spoken with TODAY'S PARADE By MILTON RICHMAN Miami Coach Don Shula since his signing, several times, in fact, but Kiick has not. This isn't anything intentional on Kiick's part. It has merely worked out that way.

"Csonka has a good relationship with Shula," Kiick says. "Mine is like a business relationship more or less. Don't get me wrong. I get along with Shula all right. And there isn't any doubt in my mind we'll have a good team this year.

I'd rather leave the Miami people being sorry than bitter, and I think by winning a third Super Bowl championship they'll feel that way. I don't want the people to say 'the reason we didn't go to a third Super Bowl was because of those three." Still, Kiick knows that he, Csonka and Warfield are bound to hear from the fans negatively from time to time. "We expect that," he says. "If I fumble, Larry fumbles or Paul drops one, we know we're going to hear something. That's only natural.

In our first home exhibition game last season, against Cincinnati, I think it was, we were behind in the first quarter and some fan yelled, 'you guys oughtta turn back your no You know how that goes. You can run the ball and make 100 yards every game, then go one game in which you make only 20 or 30 yards and people will get on you. That's just the way it is. People are people." This is one tale the Texas Rangers wouldn't care to remember as irate Cleveland fans swarm the field in the ninth inning, forcing the Texas team to scurry from the dugout to the dressing room.

i Aaron ripped the Philadelphia reliever's first pitch for his 16th grand slam homer in the seventh inning to lead the Braves to a 7-3 victory over the Phils. The 32-year-old Watt spent his first eight seasons in the majors with Baltimore of the American League before being traded to Philadelphia last winter and was facing Aaron for the first time. only recall facing Watt in spring training and he threw a lot of breaking balls," said the major league's all-time home run leader, who also revealed he. was looking for a breaking pjtch and belted a slider. 'Dodgers 5, Pirates 0 Angeles southpaw Tommy John hurled a five-hit shutout to become the NL's first nine-game winner and Tom Paciorek ripped a three- run triple to pace the Dodgers over Pittsburgh.

The victory enabled first place Los Angeles to maintain its 6 game lead over Cincinnati in the West Division. Expos 5, Astros 0 Ernie McAnally scattered five hits, all singles, to record his second shutout of the season in hurling Montreal past Houston. Ron Fairlv's bases-loaded, two-run single, in the fourth inning was the big blow for the Expos. Reds 6, Mets 3 Cesar Geronimo, who entered the game as a pinch- runner in the seventh inning, hit a two-run triple in the 10th to key Cincinnati's win over the Mets. Pedro Borbon, who took over in the eighth inning, received credit for his fourth victory against two losses.

Giants 5, Cardinals 3 Gary Matthews hit a two-run homer and Ed Goodson deliv- ered a solo blast to lead San Francisco past St. Louis. Tom Bradley picked up his sixth victory with relief help from Elias Sosa in the seventh inning. Lou Brock and Reggie Smith homered for the Cardinals. Padres 6, Cubs 5 Clarence Gaston's pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning snapped a 5-5 tie and gave San Diego its win over Chicago, snapping the Padres' nine- game losing streak.

McCovey also homered for San Diego. By United Press International Maybe it's time to start putting moats around baseball parks the way they do in the soccer stadium in South America. The rash of ugly incidents involving fans this season continued Tuesday night when an unruly group at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland mobbed the field in the ninth inning and forced the umpires to forfeit the game to the Texas Raneers "They were just uncontrollable beasts," said umpire Nester Chylak, who was hit on the head as and chairs were flying. "When Chylak got hit on the head, I knew we lost the game," said Cleveland Manager Ken Aspromonte. "It's just disgraceful." Cleveland officials doubled their normal security force for the game but the police were outnumbered by the crowd of 25,134 on hand for "10-cent- beer-night." The situation was ominous right from the start because the teams had participated in a brawl in Texas last week.

Lee MacPhail, the American League president who will get a written report from the umpires today and had talked on the phone with Texas and Cleveland officials before the game, said, "it was a situation fraught with problems." The players on both sides did no fighting this to defend themselves when the fans mobbed the field. "If it wasn't for the Cleveland players tonight, we would have got killed," said one Texas player.

The Texas bench rushed out to help Burroughs with Cleveland players also charging out to help the Rangers. When Burroughs fought back against the crowd, Chylak was hit in the head by a chair and it was at that point that the game was forfeited to the Rangers.

"It was the worst sports showing that I have ever seen in my history of baseball but I am very proud of the Cleveland players." said Texas Manager Billy Martin. "I thought the police did a fine job, especially after being outnumbered and I'm sorrythe Cleveland club had to suffer the forfeit," added Chylak. The forfeit was baseball's first since the Senators forfeited to the New York Yankees in Washington on Sept. 29, 1971. That was their last game in Washington before moving to Texas.

Tigers 0-4, A's4-l Ken Holtzman pitched a three-hitter to give Oakland the victory in the first game and Lerrin Lagrow threw a six- hitter in the second game to hand Detroit the doubleheader split.

Maybenys 12th homer was a three-run blast that climaxed a five-run third Career Ended For Ashbee Eye Injury Forces Former Hershey Player's Retirement PHILADELPHIA (UPI)-A flying puck that struck Barry Ashbee in the eye during the semi-finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs has ended the National Hockey League career of the veteran Philadelphia Flyers defenseman.

The Flyers, Cup champions, announced at a solemn news conference Tuesday that Ashbee, considered the club's best defenseman this season, was forced to retire. Ashbee was struck in the right eye by a flying shot on goal during overtime of (he fourth game of the semi-final series with the New York Rangers. The 34-year-old Ashbee, a native of Weslon, calmly said: "I don't have the vision in my right eye to continue playing. It's not going to get better." Ashbee, who was wearing sunglasses, "I have less than 20 per cent vision in my right eye." Ashbeo, who finished his fourth season with the Flyers, said he was not "bitter" but "I hadn't planned on retiring, that's for sure. "It's been tough," he said unemotionally, "but you appreciate that Stanley Cup when it comes that way." When you reach that achievement, you can't be bitter about it." Flyer coach Fred Shero does not know he has lost his star defenseman.

Shero was in Russia attending a hockey seminar when the announcement was made. Dr. William Tasman. an eye specialist, said there is a scar in the center portion of the retina of Ashbee's eye "due to the hemorrhaging which took place when he was hit." Dr. Tasman said "this will prevent his ever regaining full sight in the eye.

The main problem will be depth perception. Playing again would be very risky. Barry can do almost everything except play hockey." Ashbeo said "this was one of the best years I've ever had. It's hard to sav when I wrmlri have retired if I had not been hurt. Other players are still playing at age40, or 42." ha snider, Klyer board chairman, said it was "extremely upsetting to others on the club to see Barry retiring, but I think he's holding up better than the rest of us." Snider said Ashbee's attitude "exemplifies what this team is all about." Snider said Ashbee can have a job in the club's organization because "he's the type of person we like to be associated with." Keith Allen, general manager of the Flyers, said Ashbee was "coaching material" and "a great influence on our young kids.

He taught them to win and that is an intangible factor." Ashbee played briefly with the Boston Bruins and seven years with the Hcrshev Bears in the American Hockey League before being traded to the Flyers. He said he was going on a vacation before making a decision about his future.
