"I saw the commissioner In New York recently and we had a long talk" DIMaggio said. "I told him I couldn't take the job now, but that if it were open when I was able to take it, I would want to talk to him about it again." DiMaggio, a coach for the Oakland Athletics in their current spring training workouts here, said he was asked by Kuhn to be West Coast representative for the commissioner's News item: "HONOLULU (UPD Minnesota Vikings president Max Winter says he will ask the National Football League to make the Super Bowl championship a two- out-of-three playoff 7 will recommend that the games be played at three sites the Orange Bowl in Miami, the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and the Rose Bowl in Winter said." Well, Mr. Joe Hendrickson, who writes a sports column in Pasadena, was telling me the other day that the pros can forget about putting the Super Bowl game in the Rose Bowl.

A walk and Wills' triple climaxed the Dodger rally. Minnesota's hitting was carried by Rich Reese, who homered with one on and Leo Cardenas, who led off the eighth with a home run.

A 2182. ELECTRIC CALCULATORS by COMMODORE brown. On that day I began studying English." English came as easy as the baseball and in the five years from 1959-63 he averaged 175 hits, 95 runs and 50 stolen bases. He was intelligent and articulate and seemingly one of the Reds' most exciting prospects. "There are many sad stories," he said, "but it was my unfortunate reputation to be a jack of all trades and they said a master of none.

When Dick Sisler took over from Fred Hutchinson near the end of the 1964 season he said I was his third baseman. "In the next spring the third baseman at the start was Deron Johnson and I didn't play a game there except for half an inning in one game against the White Sox. Sisler really buried me that year. He used me in just 29 games and my pride was hurt badly. It was only when Dave Bristol came in the middle of 1966 that anyone start to notice Chico Ruiz." Surprised Wife He played in the infield and the outfield under Bristol and he participated in nearly 100 games each year.

"Once in a while there would be a surprise." says Ruiz. "Like one time I am starting a game at shortstop and my wife, Ysabel, came to a game and sat behind home plate. They have glass there instead of a screen so I can see her. I can see that she is looking up and down the bench and that she cannot find her Chico. I wave between pitches but she still does not see.

When the inning is over and she sees what is going on she puts her hand up to her forehead, making like she's gonna faint." He vecently purchased a imipls vs No place for Super Bowl many others in Pasadena, that the city is greatly-indebted to college football and that, since the college people don't want the pros playing a title game in the Rose Bowl, the city shouldn't invite them. There was some talk several years ago about bringing the Super Bowl to Pasadena and Hendrickson wrote a series on, the subject. "Pasadena." he said, "has a stadium, all paid up with the exception of some final improvement dollars. The Tournament of Roses has deeded this Rose Bowl structure to the city, the which was spent for original construction, enlargement and improvements coming from Rose Bowl game revenue derived in a pact between participating universities and the Tournament." Tom Hamilton, executive director of the Pacific Sr told Hendrickson: "The Rose Bowl game is No. 1 in the- national sports picture.

You can't have two No. 1 games. One or the other has to become No. 2. An event as solid as the Rose Bowl game should not be subjected to that.

"If the pro game were permitted in the Rose Bowl at such proximity (to the Rose Bowl game), 'we would liave to take another look at our agreement to participate "The presentation of a Super Bowl game with tickets probably selling as high as $12 a copy, coming a week after our game, which sells for $7, would detract from the prestige of our event." Pro Game Attracts Readers I rather doubt it would detract as much as Hamilton suspects. Where the Super Bowl is played and how much the tickets cost are not the things that are going to determine whether it becomes more popular than the Rose Bowl. Tie extent of pro football's popularity is what is going to determine it. A recent survey conducted for The Associated Press showed that pro football is the sport Americans are most interested in reading about. If the finding is correct, and if pro football can hold its gains in popularity, the likelihood is that the Super Bowl game is going to be the nation's No.

1 sports event regardless of where it is played. If anything keeps it from attaining this ranking, it is not going to be the unavailability of a stadium. This is not to say that playing tlie'Super Bowl game at the Rose Bowl would add no prestige to the event It would just not add enough to have a really significant effect on the game's stature. The appeal of the Super. Bowl lies not in where the game is played but in the fact that it is played for the championship of a sport that has seized the nation's fancy.

If the game were played at the Rose Bowl, would millions of television viewers be switching it on because they wanted to get a look at the stadium, or the stately San Gabriel Mountains? I rather think the average viewer would be switching it on because he wanted to see a football game. He could probably care less where they played it. But I'm still with Hendrickson. Keep the Super Bowl game out of Pasadena. And out of Los Angeles as well.

Reason: Pro football's television policy calls for a blackout of the area in the game is played. The last time I checked, a guy in the commissioner's office said that policy is not likely to be changed. So, if the game were played either at the Rose Bowl or the Coliseum, something like 10 million people (the approximate number living within 75 miles of L.A.) would be denied the chance to watch it on television. You have to wonder, incidentally, if the sponsors who buy time on the Super Bowl telecast would be very anxious to blow an audience of that size. It might be different if the area were struggling for recognition and felt a desperate need to develop a tie-in with a major sports event But there is, of course, no such need.

The Super Bowl? Who needs it? "Well, that's an eagle for me. I've always considered this hole a par nine and I got a seven Three-Hit Stint by Marichal Paces Giants By United Press International Juan Marichal demonstrated mid-season form Friday as he hurled five scoreless innings and allowed only three hits as the San Francisco Giants defeated the Seattle Pilots, S-3. at Phoenix. The Giants' righthander In two mound appearances has allowed but three hits in eight innings this spring. First baseman Willie McCovey was missing from the Giant lineup to have his eyes examined by a Phoenix doctor.

McCovey had complained of blurred vision in his right eye. The physician said he was suffering from an inflamed retina and advised rest until the eye improved. Tigers Lose Again The Detroit Tigers lost their fourth straight spring game as Cincinnati took a 6-5 decision in Lakeland. Fla. Norm Cash's homer in the seventh pulled Detroit to within one run of the Reds, but they could get no closer.

Rookie pitchers Mark Schaeffer. Ron Cook and Bob Watkins combined to hurl a 5-hitter for Houston in blanking the Montreal Expos, 9-0, in Cocoa, Fla. The Astros scored seven runs in the fifth inning to pull away. Tommy Davis signed his Astro pact for an estimated $80,000, leaving only Jim Wynn and Leon Mc-Fadden as unsigned Astros. Hank Aaron hit two homers and drove in five runs as Atlanta handed the Washington Senators their first spring loss, 6-4, at West Palm Beach.
