He accused Davis and his attorney, Joseph Alioto, of trying to cast Rozelle and the NFL as villains in the case.

His obvious anger at Davis the morning after a jury deadlock indicated no plans to settle the case out of court. "I'd never say never," Rozelle said of possible future talks. "But it's not going to be myself and Al sitting down. He continues to bill it as Rozelle against Davis, but it's Al against his 27 partners." Rozelle said the 27 other clubs of the NFL would have to decide whether they want to pursue the second trial, now scheduled for Sept. 21, and spend more millions to defend the league's rule 4.3.

The rule requires that franchise moves be approved by three-fourths of the league's owners the central issue in the antitrust trial. The Raiders' move was rejected 22-0.

At separate press conferences, Rozelle focused on publicity surrounding the mistrial that had "poisoned" Los Angeles as far as prospective jurors were concerned. Davis implied that the NFL had improperly influenced the jury, which was split 8-2 for the Raiders when a mistrial was declared by U.S.

District Judge Harry Preger-son late Thursday. "We clearly think this area has been totally poisoned," Rozelle said at his Eress conference, which followed avis' meeting with the media by some two hours. "The jurors have been given a message that they are going to be castigated in the media, that they are going to be criticized by their neighbors.

The court order, issued Monday by U.S. District Judge Stanley S. Brot-man, also specified that O'Grady had to sign with New York boxing promoter Bob Arum, president of Top Rank, Inc. If O'Grady did not sign with Arum, the order stated, the WBA was then instructed to begin proceedings As vice-president in charge of community affairs for the Continental Telephone part-time movie actor, network sportscaster, active in numerous charity foundations, he currently is national spokesman for Hershey's National Track and Field Youth Program.

Johnson said his ambition to become an Olympic decathlon champion was fired in 1952 when, as a 19-year-old just out of high school, he went to Tulare, to watch Bob Mathias qualify for the shot at his second straight Olympic gold. "Right then," said Rafer, "I told myself I wanted to be an Olympic decathlon champion. Decathlon winners traditionally emerge from the Olympics with the highest identity and commercial value, just as do female figure skaters in the Winter Games. They wind up well. Thorpe, the Carlisle, Indian, was the most tragic, having his medals taken from him on a silly charge that he once played a baseball game for pocket change.

Binns. Binns, a Philadelphia attorney, said the WBA Executive Committee's members "have to vote to strip him of the title because they're under court order." Binns said the decision was unfortunate. "You hate to see someone lose a boxing title because of something that went on in a courtroom." Binns said the results of the vote would not be made public "for several days." Pat O'Grady, the boxer's father and manager, told a Saturday Oklahoman and Times reporter he would not comment "until I am informed of their officials decision. But if it's true, we'll certainly attempt legal recourse." Legion- A double by Brian Deyak in the first inning and Tom Stock's single produced a run and gave Waite Park a quick 1-0 lead. That slim margin held up for four innings, though Richfield continually threatened Deyak, the starting pitcher.

In the first inning, Deyak hit two batters and walked one, but was able to pitch out of trouble by striking out Tom Ward and getting Rob Tomberlin on a one-hopper back to the mound. In the second, a pair of one-out walks put runners on first and second. However, when Chris Telander inadvertantly headed to first base because he thought he had walked, the runners began to advance. But the pitch was only ball three, and Deyak quick-ly fired to second base to begin a strange inning-ending double play. Shortstop Greg Yoerg tagged out lead runner Mark Johnson, then flipped to first baseman Mick Condon, who in turn tagged out Greg Mulligan.

In the fourth, Ward opened with a rocket to the fence in right field, the Coach Bob Domek says all candidates for the boys and girls cross-country teams at St. Cloud Apollo High School should report to the physical education area of the school Monday at 9 a.m. Meanwhile, the Tech High School cross country boys and girls should report to the first team meeting on Monday.

The WBA was ordered earlier this week by a federal court judge in Camden, N.J., to strip O'Grady of his title if he did not sign a contract to defend Decathlete pleased with his life's work anymore, IThey'll take me back when I'm ready. Even when I was with the Indians, I always knew I had three options left. I always knew I could come back down (to the minors.) It wasn't a real big shock to mel Indians' most popular player since Rocky Colavito Super Joe, the subject of a fast-selling poster in the Cleveland area. He was, but that was the Joe Charboneau of 1980.

The Joe Charboneau of 1981 hit just .206 with four homers and 16 RBI for the Indians. The comedown from major league star to struggling Class AAA player he was 0-for-7 in his first two games as a minor leaguer was a quick one, an unexpected one for Charboneau. He struggles to put it into perspective. "I've just accepted it, Charboneau says bravely. "It's just part of the game." He sounds less than convincing.

Charboneau refuses to bad at the plate. After scoring the first inning run off Crorkin, reliever Steve DeNucci took control. The crafty righthander entered in the second and did not allow a hit over the final six innings. He walked three and hit one batter, and only allowed three balls to be hit out of the infield. "I think we should be able to come back.

A loss like this doesn't take as Trap they do. A person can learn a lot if he's a good observer," One of the things Walker has cautioned himself against is watching any shooter too closely. "If you watch a shooter too long and try to adapt his style, you could be in for a lot of trouble," he said. "Every shooter has his own way of doing things and I guess I've been lucky with the style I developed." Whether it's luck or not, Walker has been successful since he started trapshooting two years ago. In 1980, Walker tied with four other shooters for the state Class A title with his first perfect 100.

He CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -The muscles in his arms ripple under the thin shirt as Joe Charboneau lashes out with his bat. The ball soars out of the batting cage and finally ends its long downward arc about 400 feet from the plate, bouncing against a sign advertising a fast food restaurant. Charboneau begins jogging towards first base, his curly black hair trailing behind as it gets 'caught up in a breeze. At first base, he puts a playful bear hug on teammate Karl Pagel, lifting him high into the air.

"It's coming back a little bit," Charboneau says, somewhat hopefully, somewhat tentatively. Then he begins a slow jog around the basepaths. Back at the batting cage, he quickly jumps back in for a couple more swings. Again, the ball soars high and far. Charboneau and his major league swing seem somewhat out in place in watt Powell Park, home of the International League Charleston Charlies.

Even a minor league park would have seemed inconceivable. After all, Charboneau was last year's rookie of the year in the American League for the Cleveland Indians. He hit .289 with 23 homers and 87 RBI. He was the first hit by a Richfield batter. Pat Crorkin followed with a single and Richfield had runners on first and second again.

But again Deyak, a side-arming righthander, was able to escape. He fanned Tomberlin before retiring the next two batters on fly outs. The good fortune vanished in the fifth. Deyak walked the first two batters on eight straight pitches, bringing Carr to the mound with reliever Marc Angell. The move proved futile, however.

Angell was hit hard, and by the time the inning ended, Richfield had a 6-1 lead. A bases-loaded triple by Crorkin down the right-field line and Johnson's double to the gap in right field keyed the outburst. Richfield (26-14) boosted its lead to 8-1 in the sixth inning when Mike Hofer walked, Ward singled and Crorkin ripped a two-run double to right center. Richfield, with only three returning players from its state championship team of last year, added another run in the seventh to secure the triumph, its second of the day. Earlier, Richfield upended Edina 3-2 in the first round.

Waite Park, meanwhile, struggled By WILL GRIMSLEY AP Special Correspondent Twenty-one years after fulfilling his greatest dream, Rafer Johnson doubts that, given the chance, he would take it back and swap it for another. "The money and exposure in baseball and professional football are staggering and heady," said the onetime world's best all-around athlete, "but I'd never want to give up my Olympic gold medal. Nor would I want to sacrifice my present involvement with helping kids. "It's good to have money, but money's not everything in life. There are other priorities." A gifted athlete who lettered in four sports and was president of his Kingsburg, high school class, Johnson followed his dream to Rome in 1960 where he won the most demanding and prestigious event of the Olympic Games the two-day, 10-sport decathlon.

He came home to wide acclaim and endless offers, including contracts from the Los Angeles Rams football team and the LA franchise in the old American Basketball Association. As one in a long and distingushed line of American decathlon champions, dating back to Jim Thorpe in 1912, Rafer may have missed sport's megabucks but he has prospered, served and left an indelible mark in society.
