Fans' Group Raps Mara STILLWATER, Minn. (UPI) "Fan Freedom," a group of pro football fans campaigning against the strike by veteran National Football League players, has expressed regret at a quote attributed to the owner of the New York Giants. The organization of fans commented on a statement by Wellington Mara that "the fans should in no way become involved in a dispute that is not theirs." A "Fan Freedom" spokesman said, "This attitude by management clearly shows why the fans should be represented since they are the ones who will eventually pay the bill." "Fan Freedom," headed by contractor Richard Olsen of Stillwater, has called on fans to "display their outrage at the current strike situation." The organization has come up with $30,000 to finance its campaign which includes advertisements in scattered newspapers, red and white buttons saying "Fan Freedom No Fans No Football," and bumper stickers saying "No Fans No Football." ft. Si" i I itwmk, By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Editor For at least one of the All-Stars, this was it the finale, the wind-up, the last hurrah and he would've loved going out a little better. But you know how those things are.

You can't have everything. So Al Kaline had to settle for a pop foul to catcher Johnny Bench in his 18th and concluding All-Star contest. He came up as a pinch hitter with two out and one on in the fourth inning at Three Rivers Stadium last night. Ken Brett threw him a slider on a 1-and-l pitch, and he popped it up. More than that, his American League All-Stars lost, 7-2.

It wasn't a very good night. AI Kaline, who'll be 40 before the year Is out, has one more goal left now his hit. Strictly a designated hitter for the Detroit Tigers, he needs 58 more for 3,000, and if he gets them, this will be bis last active season. He'll get them. Al Kaline leaned against a locker in the American League quarters before last night's contest, a soft drink in one hand, and talked about the nearly quarter century he has put into the only real thing he knows baseball.

"For me, personally, it's like a dream come true," he said. "It's all I ever wanted to do. It's given me everything I have in life. Everything. That challenge every day on the field has been my whole life.

I think people need a challenge." Kaline looked around the clubhouse at the other players, players who are normally his opponents but who were his "teammates" for this special one. "I'm gonna miss It," he said. "I know I am. Oh, sure, there've been heartaches The broken shoulder at Yankee Stadium in 1961 Losing out to the Red Sox the last day of the 1967 season. That was the closest I ever came to a World Series until then, a I remember thinking, "Jeez, maybe this is as close as I'll ever get' Then there was a broken arm A broken hand A broken cheekbone when I got hit by a throw I got a Iotta broken bones Was the whole thing worth it? "Certainly," he replied, without hesitating.

Kaline hasn't played a single inning in the field for the Tigers this year. All he has done is serve as designated hitter. When the All-Star balloting began, he was worried because he was getting too many votes. He was second-leading vote-getter among the outfielders for a while, and he worried if he finished 1-2-3 that would mean he would be one of the starters and he'd have to play in the field. "I would've done all I could not to," he said.

"I would've asked for some special ruling. I haven't played in the field all year. I didn't want to embarrass myself or the team." Ultimately, Kaline wound up sixth in the Newspapers at Indianapolis Press, phone 263-1121. the lertooob osf restaurant AL KALINE balloting. He polled 1,062,354 votes, quite an accomplishment for a mere designated hitter.

Before the game last night, Kaline, sensing this might be his last chance, took his 15-year-old son, Mark, around the ballpark, showing him the dressing room, the dugout and the field, and introducing him to many of the American League players. "He has no particular, favorite," Kaline said. "He likes everybody. He appreciates anyone who tries hard and gives a good effort." Al Kaline says his boy has no special favorite. There is a suspicion he has.

The suspicion is Mark Kaline has the same favorite so many others have. His father. 3700 CENTRE AVE.
