Eckert announced in New York that the dispute had been set for a hearing Monday in his office. His announcement had barely been made when the Major League Baseball Players Association filed an unprecented unfair practices charge against Finley before the National Labor Relations Board. And Lew Krausse, A's pitcher whose suspension and fine by Finley precipitated the squabble, charged that Finley had intimidated him into making a statement that the owner was justified in his fine and suspension. Krausse also said Finley had repeatedly tried to get him to influence other players to withdraw their request for a grievance hearing before the baseball commissioner. "He's through scaring me," Krausse was quoted as saying in a copyrighted story in the Kansas- City Star.

"I love baseball and I owe a lot to it, but if that man doesn't trade me I'll hang up my glove. I don't want to play for Finley again. As soon as you'think you can confide in him and trust him he burns you." It was Aug. 18 that Finley fined Krausse $500 and- suspended him indefinitely for alleged misconduct aboard a commercial air liner. The players, through their player representa- tive, pitcher Jack Aker, drafted a statement critical of Finley and immediately afterward Manager Al Dark was fired; first baseman Ken Harrelson, now with the Boston Red Sox, was.given his unconditional re- lease, and Aker was fined for allegedly violating curfew.

That's comparable to LBJ having his arm rubbed before a cabinet meeting.

Lying on a training table after the game, his elbow wrapped in an ice-packed towel, Pappas said the headache eft after the fifth inning. "Then said to myself, 'what are you doing out here? They have even But I looked at the coreboard and saw they had 10 runs, so figured I couldn't ie doing too bad." The turning point of the he said, was when the 3 hillies put runners at first and hird with none out in the third nning, and he got out of it with the help of a double play.

Everybody is asking the same questions.

I don't want to talk until this thing comes off." He pointed to the cast on his hand, at the same time looking down on the field. "I may never play again," said the 25-year-old Allen. He was hitting .307, with 142 hits, 31 doubles, 10 triples, 23 home runs and 77 RBI before he accidentally stuck his hand through a car headlight while trying to push the stalled vehicle. Despite his great hitting, the home fans booed him everytime he came to bat. Visiting players, managers and observers shook their heads in wonderment.

A great career in baseball may have flickered out when that powerful hand went through that headlight of a 17-year-old Ford Allen kept just for laughs.
