Decision to Retire Plays Havoc Withi Baseball World By MILTON RICH.MAN MIAMI (UPI)-The most important ballplayer in the country this minute is Donn Clendenon. Make that the most important ballplayer in two countries, the United States and Canada. Come to think of it, maybe he's even the- most important ballplayer in the, world.

Right now, anyway. Dpnn Clendenon isn't-, especially happy'about the idea, but he suddenly finds the very structure of major league baseball pivoting around'him. He doesn't want that. All he really wants is to retire from baseball; When he does Clendenon will settle down behind his own desk with the Scripto Pen and Pencil Compa-i ny in Atlanta. His salary will approximate $40,000 Houston would have paid him to play baseball this year but that's only, the beginning.

Scripto also is throwing in some' of those cozy fringe benefits. Like a stock option. Clendenon, 33, spent eight years with Pittsburgh. a October the Pirates iossed him into the expansion draft and the Montreal Expos grabbed him. The in turn, dealt.

him and Jesus Alou to Houston for Rusty Staub and at first both sides congratulated themselves; But then Clendonbn am nounced his retirement and you never heard such howls of anguish from both sides. The Astros screamed that with Clendenon retired, they weren't getting what they contracted for when they gave up Staub. The Expos said they couldn't possibly give back Staub because they had based all th'eif pre-season promotion on his and to return liim now jeopardize: their struggling new franchise. There was another minor matter like Staub not wanting to go back to anyway, because he felt the had let. him know they weren't exactly ecstatic over his presence.

And here's where the whole thing a bit sticky. Bowie Kuhn, the baseball commissioner, proceeded what is known as "orderly fas'hion." He Clendenon was not "a bona fide' retiree" and would not be until May 7, 30 days the start of the season. Kuhn simply went, by the book which says under Rule 12 the event of a bona- fide retirement from the game during the- interval following assignment of a player's contract and 30 days of assignee club's officially scheduled season, the agreement will be void and consideration returned to the assignee club." Kuhn said he had reason to believe Clendenon might change his mind about retiring.

He said owed it 'to his own'integrity ttf'. accept the 'assignment; because 0 1 the big first'baseman previously had told people in Houston; he would at a press luncheon.
