Angels ignite 10-5 BLOOMINGTON, Minn (AP) Danny Walton, a pin- ch hitter for the designated hitter, ripped a seventh-inning bases-loaded homer, keying an eight-run outburst and igniting the Minnesota Twins to a 10-5 victory over the California Angels Tuesday. The Twins sent 13 men to bat Sid Abel to become manager of new KC hockey franchise KANSAS CITY (AP) Sid Abel, who pushed his name into the National Hockey League's Hall of Fame as a player with the Detroit Red Wings, was named general manager Tuesday of the NHL's newest franchise, Kan- sas City. Abel, 55, resigned as general manager of the NHL's St. Louis Blues and officially assumes the new post June 1.

i Thompson, President of the franchise yet to be named, said at a news conference that Abel was sig- ned to a three-year contract and will have free rein with the organization in matters concerning hockey, including the selection of a coach. Abel said he has someone in mind for the coaching spot, but "a coach isn't what I'm looking for now." The new team will not enter competition until the 1974-75 season. Ground was broken over the weekend for a new sports arena. In St. Louis, Sidney Salomon Blues president, said Thompson had requested per- mission several weeks ago to speak with Abel.

Salomon said he regretted seeing Abel leav- ing, "but we knew the ex- citement and challenge of or- ganizing an entirely new team would be of tremendous inter- est to him and we did not want to stand in his way." Thompson said Abel will be a limited partner with an in- vestment ranging from 1 to 2 percent. Abel indicated delight at re- turning to a situation of virtual control, like he enjoyed at De- troit before resgining for the St. Louis job. He recalled that because Bruce Norris, Red Wings owner, did not live at Detroit, Abel handled most of the team's business. It was a pleasure working in St.

Louis for Salomon and his son, Sid Salomon III, executive vice president, he said, "but over there they have other highly qualified personnel who can handle the operation." Abel, 20 when he broke into the league with Detroit, was team captain by the time he was 24. He gained his reputa- tion as the Red Wing's center on a team that included Gor- die Howe at right wing and Ted Lindsay on the left. He left Detroit in 1952 to be- come player-coach of the Chi- cago Blacks Hawks, whom he led to its first play-off berth in nine years. Five years later he was back in Detroit as coach and was named general manager of the Red Wings in 1962, a post he held until moving to St. Louis in 1971.

Abel quit the Red Wings be- cause of a feud over Norris' choice of Ned Harkness, for- mer University hockey coach, as Detroit's coach. As he exited, Abel com- plained he could not "accept this hockey club and the way it is run. I cannot accept the coa ch who is running it." in the seventh against four An- gel pitchers, but stiU were trailing 3-2 when Walton, a righthanded batter, stepped up to bat for Tony OH va again- st southpaw Steve Barber. Walton's drive carried 406 feet into the left field seats after Barber, who relieved starter Bill Singer with one out, had intentionally walked Harmon Killebrew, loading the bases. George Mitterwald started the flurry with a single.

After Jim Holt popped out, Larry Hisle laid down a bunt single. Rod Carew finished Singer with a run-scoring single and moved to second on the throw, bringing up Killebrew. The Twins weren't through a Walton connected. Reliever Dave Sells wild pit- ched a run in and gave up a two-run single to Holt. Twins' lefty Jim Kaat, down 3-0 after two innings on Frank Robinson's run-scoring hit and Sandy Alomar's two-run single, won his third straight game without a loss.

Muhammad Ali was pounding his head against the dressing room wall. His head and fists hit the wall with a dull, rhylh- sound and outside the blue-uniformed guards shifted uneasily as they heard it. Elsewhere in the San Diego Sports Arena, Howard Cosell. TV's voluble sports announ- cer, was saying: "This fight means the end of Muhammad folks. It's been a great career, but it looks like it's all over." It was March 31, 1973, five minutes after San Diego's unheralded Ken Norton had Edrtor't Thh it firrt of a on Muhammad Al f-Kao Norton fight rmtlinj.

What most people don't know is that Muhammad Ah" had been badly injured four ddys before the big fight hurt in a way that would have caused most other fighters to call off the fight. It's part of the Ali legend that he allowed the fight to go on and if the legend is indeed over, then it ended in the right way with Muham- mad Ali, former heavyweight a i and hero to millions, dancing, dancing and jabbing at his opponent with his jaw broken and a sprained ankle. This is the story of the last three days of the Muhammad Ali legend, days that I spent talking with and watching the "People's Champ" train for the big fight: MARCH 29,1973 Muhammad Ali started talking and everyone in the restaurant grew quiet, leaning a in their seats, listening.

"If I knew the history of my life," said Ali, "there's a lot of things I'd do different. "I'd wait five months before I said anything about the Viet Cong, that's for sure. "But I didn't know the history of my life when I was born, and if I was reborn, I'd have to know it or I couldn't do it any different." Suddenly Ken Norton, seventh-ranked heavyweight in the world, rushed into the restaurant. Muscles bulging under his T-shirt, he RAN over to Ali's table and started shouting. I'm gonna a an armed guard to make sure you fight stay in the ring," shouted Nor- ton.

"You're AFRAID of me." "He's even crazier than me," Ali said to no one in par- ticular. "I've been starvin' for years," shouted Norton, a big. good-looking kid who was known as a tough puncher but not much of a boxer. "I've been eatin' beans and rice you're not gonna let me starve bynotshowin'up." "Somebody tol' me you're 28," AM shouted back. "Whatever you are, I'm gonna takeit." Then Ali leaned over to a friend of his.

"Ken used to idolize me," Ali said in a mocking voice obviously intended to anger Norton. "I used to fight Floyd Patterson," (Ali turned to Norton, "and you weren't even there. You're gonna be in the ring with a smart old man." Ali and Norton threw a few more sharp cracks at each other, then Norton stalked out. was Thursday, two days before Norton would meet Ali in the San Diego Sports Arena and EVERYONE was there Joe Frazier, Burt Bacharach i a i this politician and that politician all the jet set celebrities for whom Muhammad Ah" was a symbol of determination and guts and flare had shown up to see what they thought was the best boxer in the world i i another opponent. "Like Joe Frazier," said one AU adherent.

"He sup- posedly won the decision over Ali, but he spent 30 days in the intensive care ward of the hospital after Ali got through with him.30 All these celebrities and sportswriters and fans were in the restaurant that day, wat- ching Ali spar verbally with Norton, and wondering to themselves what made Ali tick. It's the big puzzle, something writers expend thousands of words on. Because "Muhammad Ali nee Cassius Clay is a hard man to Everyone knows he won the heavyweight title of the world from Sonny Liston, defeated nine tough opponents while champ and then had his title i from him for allegedly draft-dodging (after he angered the authorities by saying that he had nothing against the Viet Cong). Everyone knows the U.S. Supreme Court decided Ali hadn't been draft dodging, and how he started fighting again for the title that had been taken away from him, and nearly won it, sending Joe Frazier to the hospital but somehow losing the title.

But nobody knows Muham- mad Ali, millionaire. Black Muslim, great boxer. Not even Angelo Dundee, his trainer ALI FOUGHT, 10 "We had the players this year and winning 68 games was a thrill," said Heinsohn. The Celtics were eliminated by the Knicks in the playoffs last season, but in the current playoffs they lead the New York 1-0.
