My Slant on the Milwaukee Mess At the start, let me say that law, justice and the courts are among several hundred departments about which I know little or nothing.

So anything I say here in the next few paragraphs about baseball and Milwaukee and Atlanta and the National League represent strictly personal opinions on a subject about which I know very little. Thus forewarned, you may read on or quit now. My first opinion is that sports fans, in general, know or care little about court room judgments such as the state of Wisconsin vs. the National League, or George Halas vs. George Allen.

They are much more interested in touchdowns, home runs and "I thought that one was going Friday's Results Detroit 8, Washington 3 New York 3, Baltimore 2 Cleveland 8, Boston 7, 12 in nings California 9, Minnesota 4 Only games scheduled Today's Games California at Minnesota Kansas City at Chicago Washington at Detroit out," Peterson said.

G.B. only day when Nagel can enjoy this luxury of working with a smaller group of men since all While I sympathize with Milwaukee baseball fans over the loss of their team, I do not see how In the world the Atlanta Braves can be made to return to the beer city to play baseball, thus leaving Atlanta with a new, and empty, $18-mlllIon stadium. If this happened, might not the calendar be turned backwards and the Giants returned to New York (ousting the Mets), the Dodgers to Brooklyn, the Orioles to St. Louis, the Twins to Washington, the Athletics to Philadelphia and the Angels to Los Angeles? They might even go further back, insult Milwaukee some more, and send the Atlanta ballplayers all the way back to Boston, where they once played as the Boston Braves.

My thinking is that an owner might have a moral obligation, if morality counts in baseball, but surely not a legal one unless it is down in print with bonafide signatures attached. In other words, while I again repeat that I sympathize with Milwaukee fans, I don't see that an owner is bound to keep a ball team in any city. Or if he is, I don't understand why. same sentiment before the game to his roommate, rookie shortstop Bobby Murcer. "I told Murcer that I would like to win 10-1, and that I wouldn't mind if Frank got a homer for the run," the young hurler related.

Frank got the homer all right, his third of the season, but it didn't make the score 10-1. It made it 3-2 and put Peterson in the position of retiring Brooks Robinson and Boog Powell without their pulling the Orioles into a tie. He got Robinson on a short fly and Powell on a grounder, preserving the Yankees' first victory of the season after three losses and his spot in New York's starting rotation. "He pitched about as fine a game as can be pitched," Yankee Manager Johnny Keane said. "Control is the key to pitching, and he has it.

In other American league games, Detroit whipped Washington 8-3, California downed Minnesota 9-4 and Cleveland edged Boston 8-7 in 12 innings. The Yankees scored their three runs off Wally Bunker. Tom Tresh singled across a run in the fourth inning and scored on Clete Rover's double, and Joe Pepitone homered in the seventh. Detroit coasted to its fourth victory without a loss after Dick I look at It like this.

If J. C. Penney decided to open a store In Iowa City and found, after several years, that this wasn't a prosperous area for his merchandise and that he was losing money, I suspect he'd be allowed to close up shop If he pleased, making or losing money as conditions dictated. But that's a business, you say. Right.

So many people were on the field, in fact, plus a good-sized crowd of first-day sideline viewers, that head coach Ray Nagel planned to cut the squad in two for today's practice session, asking half the squad to report for work at 2 p.m. and the other half at 4 p.m. 'Saturday, of course, is the 43 by Jim O'Meara As Regina Golfers Suffer Third Loss WEST BRANCH Regina's Jim O'Meara continued his fine play as he fired a 43 over nine holes at the Lazy Brook Golf Course here Friday, but it wasn't enough to keep the Regal golfers from losing their third straight dual meet Williamsburg came up with a team total of 193, eight strokes under Regina's 201 score. Coach Ken Klein's golfers previously had been edged by Tipton in the season opener and then West Liberty defeated them Thursday afternoon. O'Meara missed the Regals' opening meet but has been a standout in the last two outings.

He earned medalist honors for the second day in a row Friday with his 43. He had fired an even 40 the previous afternoon at West Liberty. Other scores turned in by the Regals saw Bob Dolezal with a 51, John Eckstein 53, and Bob Reyonlds 54. Bill Anciaux was fifth man with a 55. Phil Steffen had low score for the winners with a 45.

He was followed by Roger Iburg, 48, while Steve and Tom Witte each had 50. a business or a sport So, let's take a sport as the subject for comparison. Let's say that someone started an auto racing track here, or a driving range. If. after a certain period of time, the management discovered they were losing money, or weren't making very much.

I assume it would be perfectly permissible to close the gates and move elsewhere. ON THIS SIMPLE PREMISE, then, I don't see how Milwaukee or the state of Wisconsin can lay claim for the return of "their Braves." Also on this simple premise, then, someone Is bound to say, "Well what's to keep the Cubs then from leaving Chicago, or the Twins from running out on the Twin Cities after a few lush years?" The answer, as far as I can tell, is "nothing." But what city do you know of that enters into an agreement with any athletic team that if it puts a franchise in that town it must remain there for number of years? Maybe there is such an agreement. If so, 1 never heard of it. WILLIAM C. BARTIIOLOMAY, chairman of the board of the Atlanta Braves, has been made to look like a villain, a heel and even a Scrooge of Christmas Past for transferring his ball club from Wisconsin Avenue to Peachtree Street.

So was Walter O'Malley, of course, when he ducked out on Brooklyn, and Horace Stoneham, for taking the Giants to San Francisco, and Charley Finley, for wanting to move the Athletics. None of these men do I know personally, and while they are usually characterized as greedy gold dlggers, I suggest that sack- ambition Is laudatory In most businesses, hut not In baseball. Well, enough said about a subject where I am out in left field. Is baseball a business or a sport? vnyld if huxinr.ts to the brratc-rirn point. Aftir that it 'it a sport.
