Wednesday, May 26, 1971 Dave Hill Pays Another Tourney Fine By BOB GREEN Associated Press Golf Writer MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Dave Hill, the sometimes bad boy of the pro golf tour, faced a $500 fine today on the eve of his defense of the title in the $175,000 Danny Thomas Memphis Golf Classic. The oft-fined Hill, center of a number of controversies in recent years, had to pay the fine before he was eligible to play in this tournament that he has won three of the last four years. "If I didn't do something like that once in a while, I'd go right up the side of the wall," Hill said of his action in the second round of last week's Colonial National Invitation Golf Tournament. It was those threw a ball out of a trap and purposely signed an incorrect prompted the disciplinary move by the Tournament Players Division of the PGA.

Ex-ABC Agent in Guilty Plea LITTLE ROCK (AP) Earl Thomas, former chief enforcement officer of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, pleaded guilty Monday to charges of violating state ABC laws and was fined $500 and given an 18- month suspended sentence. Prosecutor Jim Guy Tucker Jr. said he thought the punishment handed out by Circuit Judge Richard B. Adkisson was "absolutely disgusting." Thomas received less of a sentence and fine as two former ABC agents who worked under him and were charged with the same violations.

Tucker said it was a "gross mis justice" to let Thomas off with such a light sentence. He said he would have recommended a one-year sentence and a $3,000 fine. Joe M. Hill, 26, and Isaiah Jones, 31, both of Little Rock, each received 21-month sentences and fines totaling $1,350 on the same charges from Adkisson. Thomas had been charged with sale of wine without a license, sale of wine or beer on Sunday, illegal possession of intoxicating alcoholic liquor, sale of liquor without a permit, failure to turn over confiscated beverages and on-premises consumption without a permit.

"I parachutes Barton Case Is to Be Fought Out By MIKE RECHT Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Commissioner Pete Rozelle, trying to avoid an open conflict between his National Football League and the Canadian Football League, prepared today to take the Greg Barton case to the CFL for discussion. "We have compiled the information on the case and we plan to talk to the CFL," he said after a meeting of NFL owners Tuesday. "I don't know what the chances are of getting Barton back until I talk to them." Rozelle is trying to put out a spark that has raised talk of war between the leagues. The spark is Barton, an obscure quarterback with Detroit who suddenly becamse a cause ce- lebre when he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, apparently agreed to sign with the Eagles and then was spirited away by the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.

"If we do have any evidence that Toronto tampered by talking to Barton before he played out his option we would prefer to give it to them (the CFL) first," Rozelle said. "We have no contractual agreement with the CFL, only an oral agreement against tampering, but both sides would prefer to avoid a bad situation. If we have evidence, I would hope that they (the CFL) would abide by it." Meanwhile, Coach Jerry Williams of the Eagles, hard- pressed for a quarterback after trading Norm Snead the same week he thought he had acquired Barton, talked about a possible war between the eagues. Bob Thomas at the Movies By BOB THOMAS Associated Press Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) Carlotta Monti once mused to W. C.

Fields; "I wonder which means more to drinks or me." The comedian replied to his mistress: "Each has its position of relative importance in the household." That typically Fieldsian gesture of unsentimentality is reported in a new book, C. Fields and Me," which Miss Monti wrote with Cy Rice. It is a remarkably frank and revealing account of 14 years in the household of the classic comedian. They never married, for the simple reason that Fields still had a wife; he had married early in his career, fathered a son, parted, and was never divorced. Fields and Miss Monti met on a movie set when she was a singing starlet.

On the fourth night she visited his home, and he remarked in typical fashion: "I'm not going to spread a handkerchief and get down on one knee before you, because my arthritis might hurt when I got up. But I have something important to ask Come live with me." Los Angeles Helps Honor Willie Mays, Still Star at 40 By BOB MYERS Associated Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) A setting such as Dodger Stadium had to be unique for an evening honoring a San Francisco, nee New York, Giant. But the man in question was Willie Mays, who today began his third decade in the uniform of a Giant. The Los Angeles Dodgers made a pretty big thing about Tuesday night's encounter with their traditional rivals, the Giants, since May 25 marked the debut of Willie Howard Mays Jr. 20 years ago as a New York Giant.

Mays, who turned 40 earlier White Sox to Get 1st Pick in 8B Draft NEW YORK (AP) The Chicago White Sox will pick first when organized baseball conducts its summer free agents draft here June 8-9. Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, announcing the format for the draft Tuesday, said the major league clubs, as in previous years, will pick in the inverse order of their 1970 finish. The selections in the second phase of the draft, which involved "active" and "delayed" sections, are determined by drawings. Following the White Sox in the regular draft will be San Diego, Milwaukee, Montreal, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Washington, St. Louis, Cleveland, Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, California, New York Mets, Boston, Chicago Cubs, Oakland, San Francisco, New York Yankees, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cincinnati.

The 6-foot, 190-pound Nevin scored 21 goals and 25 assists for the Rangers, who like the North Stars advanced into the Stanley Cup quarter-finals this spring before bowing out. Nevin, who has scored 227 1929 goals and 395 assists in 12 NHL seasons with Toronto and New York, added five goals and three assists in the playoffs against Chicago and Toronto. this month, said he was pleased with such a testimonial. But as befits such a years of age and 20 with the same club, he observed: "I'd just as soon there waun't so much attention paid to it. All I want to do is help win ball games and forget about years." There was a brief ceremony at home plate as most of the 40,042 fans were in their seats before the game.

Big Don Newcombe, a former Brooklyn Dodger pitching great, who described Willie as "an old nemesis," acclaimed Mays for his endeavors both on and off the playing field. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous," Mays told the crowd after it gave him a standing ovation. "It's a situation a lot of ballplayers would like to be in, playing in a strange place and getting this kind of reception." Nevin Traded to Hockey's North Stars By PAT THOMPSON Associated Press Sports Writer ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Right winger Bob Nevin was headed today from the New York Rangers to the Minnesota North Stars, who 4th QB for Steelers Is 'Rejected Man' Page Five By D. BYRON YAKE Associated Press Writer PITTSBURGH (AP) Joe Joe, they call the Pittsburgh Steelers' fourth quarterback for the time being, a spot he likens to the proverbial fifth wheel.

"It's a bummer," said the 185-pounder who was signed by the Steelers as a free agent this year after he went unselected in the National Football League draft. "I feel like I've been rejected." Spagnola, who immigrated here with his parents from Naples, Italy, when he was nine, became quarterback at Arizona State after the third game of his sophomore year. For a man not used to taking a backseat, Spagnola knows he faces some tough competition in the likes of quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw and Terry Hanratty, as well as Bob Leahy, who spent last season with the club's cab squad. "I don't want to be on a taxi squad," Spagnola said last week during a three-day seminar for Steeler rookies. "If that happens I might ask them (the Steelers) for permission to try out with another club.

Spagnola signed with the Steelers in desperation, but two days later he got a call from Kansas City, later from a nadian pro team.

In return for the 33-year-old Ranger captain, the North Stars will deliver a Minnesota player to be named at the conclusion of the NHL draft early next month at Montreal. "I've been trying to deal for a right winger ever since Christmas," said Wren Blair, North Star general manager, and am awfully happy to land "delayed" phase of the draft, which includes players drafted before last January who remain unsigned.

quickly. "I was worried nobody else would ask me," he said. "I think with weight work I can be just as good as anybody. But Bradshaw is so good. I can tell just the way he throws the ball.

He rifles them." At Arizona State, Spagnola threw 35 career touchdowns, about 23 of them to J.D. Hill, top draft choice of the Buffalo Bills. Running backs Mike Brunson and Art Malone, both drafted in 1970 by Atlanta, played for the Sun Devils while Spagnola was quarterback. Then there was Steve Holden, a flanker who ran compared to Hill's 9.3, in the 100-yard dash. In a way, Spagnola was a shadow then, like he is with the Steelers.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that," he admitted. "But I got my share of ink. I can't complain." JIMMY HOWELL Jimmy Howell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Howell of Route, Hope, has completed his basic combat training at Fort Polk, La.
