"My strongest point is my coconut and they can't mess that up." PROFESSIONAL I 4 WHEN HAL MCRAE left the Cincinnati Reds he was happy. He was going to a team that wanted him, that he was reguUr. "I've got no ar.e to fault but myrelf," he said. "They eave me a chance and I didn't do it.

I shot off my mouth about how I could play every day, I wanted to prove niytelf and was confident I could. "1 hen I came here and I got myself into a worse way that when I was with the Reds. I was a substitute with Cincinnati but I'm lower than that here. It's embarrassing. "With the Reds at least I had a Job to do.

Here, nothing. They even pinch hit for me and that's something that shouldn't happen. I feel less needed now than I did with the Reds." The only thing Hal McRae has working for him is the knowledge that neither Nelson nor produced In Cincinnati. That, however, is no consolation, not when you tnlnk of yourself as a .300 hitter and are hitting half that. SOCCER CINCINNATI COMETS vs.

They've never seen me do It. They're talking about trading me. In fact, they had me traded to Atlanta but 1 didn't clear aivers in the American League. "funny thing Is, I don't care if I get traded. I've got to find happiness somewhere." Top Seeds Win At Wimbledon t.

The New York Yankees are taking steps to find out whether or not Cleve-' land pitching star Gaylord Perry uses a foreign sub-! stance on the ball.

The next time Perry the mound against 'Z the Yankees a meeting "iwhich is scheduled for Fri-t day night at Yankee Sta-v dium a special closed--'circuit camera will be watching his every move. The Yankees plan to have this candid camera ignore other aspects of the aaaao tournament more than 27.000 flocked to the All-England Club despite rain which shortened third-day play at the start and finish. But again the tennis proved as cloudy as the weather and not even Nastase, noisily cheered by his teenaged fans, could bring the tournament to life for long. The 26-year-old Romanian appeared to strain his back during the sixth game of the second set against Molina and rubbed it frequently and apparently effectively thereafter as he went on to baffle the Colombian with his delicate placement shots.

In an effort to see whether or not he doctors up the ball, as has been frequently alleged. Many of the Yankee players were particularly annoyed following Perry's 4-2 victory over New York Monday In Cleveland. The camera will be equipped with slow-motion and stop-action to help the Yankees In their research. Two sound men will also be employed, and they will comment on Perry's actions while the camera watches. A Yankee spokesman said the actions were taken "to determine, once and for all, whether he uses a foreign substance on the ball, and If he does, to see if we can put a stop to it." The spokesman said he recalled the Cincinnati Reds using cameras in an attempt to catch the Milwaukee Braves' Lew Bur-dctte using a spitter in the lfljOs.

but added that he thought this was the first time it was being tried on Perry. fBfp: 011 KIL-KARX SPEEDWAY XENIA, OHIO STOCK CAR RACES LATE MODELS HOBBY STOCKS FRI. NITEJUNE 29 T. T. 7 p.m.
