Two years ago the Baltimore manager lost an All-Star game because he didn't have a relief pitcher to stop a ninth-inning National League rally. It will serve him right if he blows another Nance 29-Year-Old Ranks 11th In NFL By JOHN FLYNN Of The Inquirer Staff The Eagles began major surgery on their running game Monday by obtaining Jim Nance from the New England Patriots for a high (either third or fourth) 1973 draft choice. In grabbing the former Syracuse All-America and his $80,000 contract, the Eagles gambled that he still is the same fullback who gained 1,458 yards in 1966 and 1,216 in 1967 rather than the sore-toed plodder who picked up only 463 yards and became the target of Boston boo birds last season. Eagle general manager Pete Retzlaff outbid the Oakland Raiders' Al Davis for the 29-year-old Nance. Nance had asked to be traded, feeling his straight-ahead power was obsolete in a flashy Pat offense designed for quarterback Jim Plunkett and outside runner Carl Garrett.

NANCE negotiated with five other clubs after he agreed to disagree with the Pats. HHe settled on the Eagles over the Raiders because "they (the Eagles) showed a lot of interest in me which meant they wanted a football player." It was Nance's to hook up with a team that would allow him to be a workhorse, which of course, influenced him to join the Eagles despite the lightweight reputation of their offensive line. "You don't have to run behind a great line to gain 1,000 yards," explained the man whose 5,323 career yards rank him 11th among National Football League rushers. "A runner can do it on desire, ability and experience." AND A Ahealthy number of carries. "Yes," Nance agreed, "but I don't have to carry 30 times a game.

I just don't want to be the 11th man on the field." The Eagles took a close look at the 6-foot, 240-pound Nance before making the trade.

Cubs Vice President John Holland said Lockman, assistant to the vice president and director of player development for the National League club, Skaggs, By GORDON FORBES Of The Inquirer Staff READING.

The sun has begun to cut through the haze. It is nearing 7 A. the start of another maddening day of training camp. Inside East Hall, Jim Skaggs slowly comes to life. Skaggs is 32 and for 11 Eagle seasons has played the obscure role of professional football guard.

By the end of the day, he will be wearily feeling his age. IN THIS particular season, Skaggs has been shifted from his normal right guard position to the left side. There, he is competing with Dick Hart, one tonight. Imagine. A big league baseball manager in the '70s who doesn't think a relief pitcher can be an All-Star.

Oh, well. Let's be thankful that Eerl Weaver isn't coaching the College All-Stars against the lllas Cowboys. He'd probably decide to go without a place-kicker. Weaver's continued ban of relievers from the American League All-Star team is an affront to the bullpen specialists who have revolutior ized baseball in the last quarter of a century. Does the Baltimore manager really mean that Jim Kon-Stanty wasn't an All-Star? Or Joe Page? Or Luis Arroyo? Or Hoyt Wilhelm? Or F.oy Face? Or that Clay Carroll, who has saved 22 Cincinnati games this season, shouldn be on the National League team? Or that any first-class relief pitcher isn't every bit as valuable as a top starter? 'He's Been Fantastic' TAKE LYLE, th 3 man who isn't here.

"He's saved us this year," Yankee manager Ralph Houk said. "He's been fantastic. If you have the lead with two innings to go I'd rather have him pitching than anybody I wouldn't trade him right now for a 20-game winner." But because Lyle gets paid to finish games instead of starting them, he isn't eligible for. a place on the All-Star team, according to Earl Weaver. It's enough to make Clay Carroll thankful that Weaver isn't managing the team for his league.

There are seven guards in camp, four of whom will be waived by Sept. 11, the date on which the Eagles firm up their 40-man squad. That he faces the risk of being overtaken by youth never enters the mind of Jim Skaggs.
