'-2-E- Sundav. March 24. 1974 PhilaHplnhSa TnmiirPr a a 4 SS' WS-" 1 v- I Farmer's Escape From Yanks Leads to Phils' Bullpen Farmer said. "I thought the owners might have readied some sort of an agreement not to interfere with Gabe Paul sending me down." For advice, Farmer consulted his friend and former Tiger teammate, pitcher And therein lies a story. In the middle of the 1972 baseball season, Fryman was a Phillie and the Phillies had a new general manager, Paul Owens.

Fryman approached "Mr. Paul," the lefthander said, "that's very nice. But if you get killed in a car accident this afternoon, nobody will know about our little agreement. So please put it down on paper for me." And Gabe Paul, flabbergasted, complied. 11 Now Farmer had his freedom, but no sure plan for what to do with it.

"I was 3-9 with two saves for the Tigers after they got me from Cleveland last year, but I'd cleared American League waivers," he would return to his pre-' med studies rather than go to the minor leagues. "I got in over 100 innings in two months. I won eight games. And my mechanical problems straightened out so that I got my rhythm. "I asked the Yankees why I should be sent down, and they couldn't give me a reason," Farmer said Saturday.

"I told (Yankees general manager) Gabe Paul I have a better arm than anybody he has in camp, and I have I By BRUCE KEIDAN Mguirer Sfa Writer CLEARWATER, Fla Uni-. versity of Chicago students are a special breed. Ask a student I on the Chicago campus how he 'is' and the inevitable response I is; "Relative to what?" ''It's true," says Ed Farmer. 'The University of Chicago is loaded with people who are about to solve the problems of the world." Farmer should know. He is r.

a University of Chicago prod- ucL And that makes him a three years in the major leagues, so why send me down? I told him I felt I could make a deal for myself." Paul already had obtained American League waivers on the youngster and figured Farmer was- bluffing. He made the mistake of calling Farmer's bluff. "We won't stand in your way if you want to make a deal," Paul said. "If somebody wants to sign you, just have them give me a call." renegade. Because Ed Farmer is an intellectual young man in the fiercely anti-intellectual world of major league baseball.

He looks the part tall, slim, shaggy-haired, mustachioed. More than that, he acts the part. When the Detroit Tigers traded him to the New York Yankees last week and the Yankees in turn attempted to send him to Syracuse of the International League, the 24-year-old pitcher promptly announced Mien Keeps Dry in As Chisox Trip Phils Rangers Nip Yanks On Homer by Grieve my ability took over." "He does have ability," confirmed Phillies Manager Danny "He has one heck of an arm. He's a gamble, sure, because we have to keep him on our big-league roster. But with a young arm like that, "it's a gamble you have to take.

Why was a young right arm like Farmer's available? Why was he traded twice in less than a week? "I was the last one to sign a contract in Detroit," Farmer says. "They offered me exactly what I made last year, and I felt' I deserved a raise. I guess that didn't sit well with the organization there. And I refused to go along with the Yankees because I felt that I had everything to lose and nothing to gain by going to the minor leagues." Clearly, the man is a maverick. Worse, he is an admitted intellectual from good Lord the University of Chicago.

But he comes equipped with a fast ball that jumps and a good, overhand curve. And if he can become the power pitcher the Phillies have been searching for, then Danny Ozark may actually find himself managing a respectable baseball team. 1 Relative, of course, to, the rest of the National League East. Owens with a most unusual request: Due to personal problems he wanted to be traded right away. Owens understood.

He traded Fryman to Detroit, getting next to nothing in return. The day that trade was announced, Woodie Fryman vowed he would return a favor to Owens some day. That day arrived Wednesday, when Fryman put Farmer in his car and drove him to Clearwater to introduce Owens to the strongarmed young lefthander. Owens watched Farmer throw and was impressed. He called Gabe Paul and came to an agreement with the Yankee GM.

And Ed Farmer became a Phillie. "I'm elated about it," Farmer said Saturday. "I thought I was getting a run-around from the Yankees, but the people here are very down to earth. They've been very straight with me." So Ed Farmer is not going back to the University of Chicago for a while. Instead, he is going to the Phillies' bullpen, and perhaps from there to a starting assignment.

"I've never gotten-to pitch a lot of innings," he said, "but last winter I played for Frank. Robinson in Puerto Rico and worked as a starter. I got my rhythm, really for the first time. Once that happened, 1 Special tn The Inquirer fRASOTA, Fla.

Hutton moved around to score on pitcher Dick Ruthven's sacrifice and Dave Cash's single. But Ruthven was having trouble with the long ball. He was touched for homers by Santo in the second and Ken Henderson (with a man on base) in the fourth. Ruthven also yielded a two-run single in the third to the leading White Sox spring hitter, utility man Jerry Hairston Chicago got its last two runs in the sixth against Ers-kine Thomason, who issued a walk to Jorge vOrta, then served up doubles to Bucky Dent and Hairston. The Phillies were making a belated move against Jim Mc-Glothlin when the rains came.

Mike Anderson got an infield hit and Mike Schmidt and Hut-ton walked at the start of the seventh. Jim Essian ripped a two-run single and the final run scored when pinch hitter Mike Rogodzinski rolled into a double play.
