TWO BECKLEY POST-HERALD, BECKLEY, W. WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 24,1974 Short Honeymoon Appears Over For Plain-Spoken Bowie Kuhn By PAUL KAPLAN C) 1971 Washington Star Ittu's YORK Marv Miller, the executive directi of Uie Major League Baseba Players Association stands the wall of windows that form the eastern flank of his Par Avenue penthouse office on th 28th floor. On Miller's desk is a pape: back, "The Working Press." glances at the book, smile, then answers the question tha had been put to him: "I don't know what happene to Bowie Juhn (hte com missioner of baseball) I reall don't. Who can say (why th media suddenly turns on person? Maybe an event die it. Maybe it was the Dennj McLain thing, who knows? Al that really matters is that i happened.

irony of it all is tha sports press criticizes Kuhn for the wrong reason. It simply cannot get it through its head that he is not an impartial par ry.

His secretary says he Iways sits in the dark: more Hank of the University of Virginia law school. So what happened after the honeymoon period? The files offer a few hints. Kuhn, a rather primitive man, refuses even to acknowledge unkint remarks, let alone refute them. This is very frustrating for eace. Kuhn says: "I don't know my press has not been ood.

I probably should have one more with my image. But have a philosophy that if you link you've done the right ling it will speak eloquently or you later on. I think this the case with what I've done commissioner. I know veryone would not agree." The five-year file on Bowie Cuhn, who took office in 1969, an interesting, if not bizarre ne. Except for his first year i office, hardly anyone in out of baseball has had kind word to say about him.

Miller calls that first yea A honeymoon period followini man (Gen. William D. Edrerf reporters. "I try to maintain my equilibrium," Kuhn a smiling at a reporter. Perhaps that is best, despite Ihe bad publicity.

Kuhn's brief listory as commissioner points out that in the rare instance when he does speak, he has the uncanny habit of saying the wrong things to the wrong people. For example, Kuhn was summoned to appear before the louse Commerce Committee icarings last year on television jlackouts of sports events, par- icuJarly football. The Commissioner gave a lengthy ora- transpired leading what had up to that night, my presence would have added a negative factor to what was a very positive event." Media reaction to Kuhn's absence at one of the biggest moments in sports history was so severe that it could cost him his job. Baseball's winter meetings are the first week in December. While Kuhn has two seasons remaining on his contract, his standing is almost- sure to be a primary topic.

"We still have to more in this series," Heinsohn said. While the Celtics are healthy, the win one did the Knicks particularly still are hurting, veterans Willis Reed and Dave DeBusschere, two old Boston nemesis. Center Reed has been ineffective because of his bad knees. He had fluid drained from his left knee Tuesday and accompanied the team to Boston.

However, his status for the game Wednesday night is uncertain. DeBusschere, who is retiring after the playoffs to become jeneral manager of the New fork Nets in the American Basketball Association, is pla- ued by a nagging stomach- muscle pull. It bothers his run ning and rebounding. Somehow, the Knicks are gong to have to find a way to top Boston captain John Havli- ek, who has been hot in all reas of performance since the tart of the playoffs. Havlicek has assumed (three small, the Blue contract" for being too large and the Aaron demand as being too late.

Aaron said he would play if Cuhh ordered him to because 'He's the commissioner, I sup- sose." Kuhn says, "I have a strong feeling about the judiciary aspects of the job. There are things the judge doesn't get into it's unseemly. When I've made a decision that I think is fair, I don't have to say, 'Now this is If it's fair and if it's in the best interests of baseball, that's enough." Not at all ironically, it was a situation where Kuhn said and did nothing that brought him And yet it is probably true ed to a lengthy report from the that Kuhn not only espouses the NFL's expansion committee wonders of baseball, but and it decided to "sleep on it," believes in all of it.

Thus did Kuhn suspend Denny VIcLain for alleged gambling ies, forced Oakland owner Charles Finley to offer holdout Vida Blue a $63,000 contract and demand that Henry Aaron play at least two games in this season's opening series against Cincinnati. Kuhn was blasted on each move; the McLain suspension months) for being too "There was considerable discussion on all aspects of ex pansion," said Rozelle.

"The WFL was touched on." Memphis, Tampa, Seattle, Phoenix, and Honolulu, have loudest complaints. Kuhn not Braves' attend home the Atlanta opener this a when Aaron hit his record breaking 71Sth career nome run. The press almost unanimously presumed that Kuhn was snubbing Aaron and the Braves organizaton, but Kuhn calls that 'Absolutely false." He says he lad a previous engagement in Cleveland, and had already spent much time with Aaron's entourage. He adds: Perry And Spikes Lead Tribe's Win United States. In fact, Tampa's televison market is larger than that of six current NFL teams--Kansas City, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Denver, San Diego, and New Orleans.

Tampa Stadium seats 46,477 and the city has approved ex pansion to 72,000. It has aver "We can win with a quarterback like that." That's how West Virginia head football coach Bobby Bowden described the play of junior Ben Williams in Saturday's Blue- Gold scrimmage game. Williams, who stepped into the job late last season, handled the team crisply and efficiently, using his quickness to pick up some yardage on the ground. He got 69 yards on option plays. From the scrimmage, it would appear that the Mountaineers are very deep at quarterback.

Sophomore Kirk Lewis, though inexperienced is even quicker than Williams and throws the ball well. Attendance at the game was down from last year. Maybe last season's 6-5 mark disappointed a great number of fans. Some people may have elected to attend the Charleston Charlies' home opener. The ones who did maks it to Saint Albans saw a better-than- average spring game.

"We moved the ball better than we expected," Bowden said. "And I like the way the defense got two scores on a blocked punt and a fumble." Vet linebacker Jeff Merrow was named the game's most outstanding defensive player, blocking two punts and recovering a fumble to halt a Gold team threat. Offensive honors went to speedy Dwayne Woods, who picked up 96 yards on 21 carries and one touchdown for the Golds. Elsewhere, Ken Culbertson, a 210-pound sophomore linebacker, stuck out on defense. The soph gave the Blues some points by recovering a Merrow-blocked punt in the end zone.

With Danny Buggs back in Morgantown and Marshall Mills sustaining a shoulder separation jn pre-game drills, the big-play speed wasn't there on offense. But senior Beraie Kirchner excelled as a receiver, once hauling in a ball with a leaping grab on a crossing pattern.

The only long scoring run was by Blues defensive back Marcus Mauney who took a Brooks punt at his 25, raced down the left sideline behind some superb blocking to put his squad ahead for good. The secondary seemed a strong point, as the Blues did a fine job of covering Williams' receivers. Rory Fields, the former Big Creek standout, picked off a pass, one of two interceptions by the Blues in their 36-15 victory. It will be interesting to see who will win the starting fullback job. Mike Hubbard got some' playing time in last season, and got 49 yards and a TD Saturday.
