Estimates of the gross receipts from closed circuit TV, Frank Robinson With Orioles For $65,000 By United Press International Baseball men agree that spring training games mean little, particularly intra-squad contests but Hank Bauer was overjoyed with what occurred at the Baltimore camp Tuesday. The game-winning, pinch-hit double was delivered by Frank Robinson, the former Cincinnati Red slugger, who just hours before buttoned up a Baltimore Oriole uniform for the first time. It was an eventful day for Robby.

Earlier Tuesday he signed a contract for $65,000 making him the highest paid Oriole player ever. Back in Baltimore, Oriole catcher Dick Brown was recuperating from brain surgery which removed a benign tumor "about the size of a golf ball" from the back of his head. He was proclaimed "awake and alert" when his pion, "they ought to start making reservations for Toronto."

Liston or Floyd Patterson had," but both admitted to be on the ropes when word of the approval reached them. "They got a fight for us and, in a way I'm relieved," Terrell said at his training camp in Pleasantville, N.J.

In fact, the only other lefties in camp are starters Hank Aguirre and Mockey Lolich and rookies Mike Kilkenney and Mike Small. Fritz Fisher, another lefthander, has been delayed by personal problems. Another thing in Hiller's favor is the fact that he has a "lively" fastball. Dressen has been try- The 31-year-old entered the Illinois rejection came short hospital for tests after com Hiller.

Hiller, a 23-year-old Canadian, was 5-7 at Montgomery with a 2.53 earned run average before being called up by the Tigers. He was unscored on in five appearances for them. Hiller had been a starter all his life and first felt that the assignment to the bullpen was sort of a demotion. "But after I got used to the idea, I liked it," he said. "You don't have to worry about pacing yourself.

You just come in and throw hard all the time. It's more exciting, too, once you accustom yourself to pitching with men on base. "And if it helps me make this club I can't complain," he added. Dressen has also been enthusiastic about Graham simply because he seems to have gained some control over his change-up curve. Graham was 12-10 at Syracuse in 1965.

Holtgrave, the righthanded bullpen ace at Montgomery last year, appears to have recovered from a sore arm that plagued him for several years. Dressen's plans call for a 10-man pitching staff, which leaves room for about one newcomer. Hiller seems to have the inside track as the team prepares to open the Grapefruit League season this Saturday. Dressen said Tuesday he plans to start his veterans in the inaugural at the Tigers' new Lakeland stadium. This means Al Kaline will start in right field.
