Jim Bouton, former 20-game winner with the New York Yankees, said Friday he has asked for a leave of absence from his New York sportscasting job and will attempt a baseball comeback. Bouton's plans are to play with the Pittsfield, club in the Class AA Eastern League, which opens its season today. He is currently a sports broadcaster on WABC's "Eyewitness News." "My purpose in requesting the leave is two-fold," the 33-y a -o 1 righthander who played with the Yankees, Seattle Pilots and Houston Astros, said. "I am running as a George McGovern delegate in the New Jersey Democratic Primary June 6 and during that time I cannot, be on the air under the Federal Communications Commission regulation on equal time.

"So during this period, I decided to try to play with Pittsfield and see if I might make a pitching comeback in the major leagues." Bouton was placed on the voluntary retired list by the Astros in August, 1970. This followed publication of a book under his au-thorship entitled "Ball Four," in which he told some of the most intimate secrets of ballplayers. In order to play with Pittsfield, a Texas Rangers farm, the former pitcher must be waived out. of both major leagues. Bou- Play-off Continued from page IB league, said a committee will immediately begin work on refining the complicated plan.

The five classes include: Class AAA, for schools with en-rollments of 1,150 or more; Class AA, Class 200-449; Class under 200; and nine-man. There will be about 68 AAA teams, the smallest of the five categories. Class will include 167 teams. Sites for the play-off games have not been determined and Helling said they likely would not be until the competing teams have been decided. He said it is likely that the semifinal games would be played at one of the competing schools.

The state league is expected to tabulate points-per-game during the season and by mid-season will hold weekly news conferences to announce the leaders. The only major change in the basketball tournament will be the reinstitution of consolation games. Helling said it is hoped that two consolation games can be played each morning at Williams Arena during the tournament. The format will remain the same, with the A championship Saturday afternoon and the AA championship Saturday evening, March 24. Those winners would meet the following Monday.

The board voted to increase the number of AA schools by drawing the dividing line at. 850 sUf dents. This year there were 69 AA teams and next year AA is expected to number 77. Schools with enrollments between 850 and 1,000 may petition to drop to Class A. Johnson Dealers1 Jonathan-the good life?

(HomeRecreationTravel section) Jim Bouton ton said he had requested this procedure but the commissioner's office in New York said it had no record of such a process being in motion. "It's merely a formality," Bouton said. "I can't imagine anyone in the major leagues wanting to sign me." Bouton said he had asked for a leave from the broadcasting a i at least through the primary June 6. If at that time he finds he is able to pitch, he added, he may remain on leave throughout the summer.

"But I definitely plan to return to broadcasting," he said. In Pittsfield, Pat Mc-K a owner of the Pittsfield team, said of Bouton: "If he shows any stuff, he'll be assigned to a regular starting role." Yesterday the board also heard proposals from as-s i a t. ions representing the state wrestling coaches and the state baseball coaches seeking to divide the wrestling tournament into three classes and the baseball tournament into two classes. The board took no action on those. Knicks Continued from page 1C 19.5S8.

When order was restored, Rackley and Ku-burski were ejected. A minute later a fan tried to make his way on to the court but was stopped by Garden police. Rackley and Kuberski almost renewed the fight after reaching the dressing rooms. "If they had been by themselves there'd been blood all over the place," said captain Willis Reed of New York after breaking up the second skirmish. The injured Reed, who has been sidelined with a damaged knee since November had to separate the two players.

"A couple of seconds more and they might have hooked up again," said Reed. "I told Luke (Rack-ley) 'let's I had him by the arm." The Knicks broke open the game in the third period, out-scoring Boston 20-5 in a 6I2 inute burst midway through the quarter and went from a 6 -62 lead to an 83-67 advan tage.
