5 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1980 stars may defect if Bourbons don't switch to new league MM JL I' Cox' Vv (:..:.: Cleveland owner Ted J. Stepien is the financial angel of the new league. One of his top officers is Don Rardin one of the founders of the APSPL and one of he original owners of the Bourbons. Another Softball item: Jefferson County apparently is no closer to getting the playing complex or complexes than it was more than two years ago when the fields were promised by Jefferson County Judge Mitch McConnell during his election campaign. He made no mention of softball in his annual report last week.

His press secretary, Sherry Penn, said yesterday that the judge "is studying the fiscal advisability of it." McConnell said that former commissioners Earl Hartlage and Charles Hor-ton and present commissioner Sylvia Watson killed his Softball project six months ago. "Public hearings demonstrated support," said McConnell. "We're taking another look at it. However, it will be much more costly now because of inflation." SWEET REVENGE You'd have to know C. M.

Newton to appreciate how much his Alabama team's victory at Louisiana State Monday night meant to him. I have known him since he was a classmate at Kentucky more years ago than either of us cares to remember. Simply put, he is the most decent of coaches, always a gentleman, the kind of man you'd want your son to play for. He was incensed last year when, with about half a minute left, LSU coach Dale Brown called time and had a banner unfurled proclaiming LSU the SEC champion. Newton insisted to the officials that play be resumed immediately or he would remove his team from the floor.

Earlier, LSU star DeWayne Scales had hit two Alabama players. Anyway, Newton said yesterday that he didn't have to get his players up for Monday night's game. "I didn't have to do anything my players were there last year!" he said. Newton, whose team will play at UK Saturday night, didn't scout the Wildcats' game at Ole Miss last night. "We've seen Kentucky on TV so much that we're going to save our scout them," said Newton.

(Teams can scout each opponent just one time a season.) "I have two of the Kentucky games on videotape and I don't know what else I could learn now," said Newton. "We may play them in the tournament so I'll save my scout for later." NO OVC TV Ohio Valley Conference games will not be on a network this season, producer Fred McCoy, bf Bowling Green said yesterday. The reason: Not enough advertisers. Courier-Journal sports columnist Louisville will have a professional team again this summer, but idonj ask Kentucky Bourbons owner Larry Gattl which league his team will if) vbein. And if the Bourbons don't switch 'from the American Professional Slo-5Picti League to the new North Ameri- t.rt Sears can League, star Donnie Rardin said yefeterday that he will leave the Bour-'jbons and play for Cincinnati in the new it i ri league.

He said that some other top Bourbons have discussed playing in the new league if the Bourbons don't join it. Another Bourbon standout. Cobble Harrison, is no longer a member of the 'iedm.
