"An umpire must exercise patience and judgment," said Cronin, quoting from the official baseball rule book. Salerno, a major league umpire for seven years, and Valentine, an umpire for six years, contended in practice suit an unfair labor that they were fired for trying to organize a collective bargaining unit for American League umpires. Attorney Henry Kafleher, counsel for Valentine and Salerno, said that Cronin was in Chicago Sept 12, 1968--four days before the umpires were fired-and at a time that Salerno attended a Chicago meeting of the National League umpires organization. to attend a meeting with the television committee of the baseball commissioner's office. He said he had no idea Salerno was at the umpires' meeting and did not know what was discussed.

Cronin said Salerno and Valentine were fired by telephone Sept. 16, because the commissioner's office was pressing for the list of American League umpire scheduled to work the World Series. He said earlier that Salerno was scheduled to work the series but "because Salerno had been in trouble all and "because Ms contract would not be renewed," Cronin did not want him to be in the series. Also, Cronin said he had umpires on option from the minor leagues and wanted to test them in the major leagues before the 1968 season ended. Crpnin further told examiner David Davidson that between 1960 and 1968, four major league umpires had been returned to the minors.

When asked by KaHeher why bis clients were not optioned to the minors, Cronin said Salerno had an offer from the International League but turned it down. Bando walked, Knowles came on.

The young pitcher said it was probably the best game he'd ever that I didn't give up any But he said he would rather have had the Padres win the game than to have pitched a no hitter and lost Losing no hitters is not uncommon. Ken Johnson of Houston lost a hitter to Cincinnati in 1961. But it is probably a major league first for a manager to pull a pitcher who has hurled eight innings of no-hit ball, even if he is losing. Gomez, however, said he had done the same thing once before.

He was managing at Spokane in the Pacific Coast League a few years back when Phil Ortega was hurling a no hitter through eight Gomez pulled the pitcher for a pinch hitter, the pinch hitter doubled and Spokane won the game 2-1. Gomez was losing 1-0 in that game when he made the big decision. But his move Tuesday night was unpopular with the fans. One who remained in the stands long after the game put it this way: "I can see Gomez puffing the pitcher if this club is fighting for a pennant. But we're in the cellar.

(AP) Vince Carillot resigned Wednesday as tiead football coach at the University of Tulsa, admitting he tad been wrong in the transportation of a prospective player. Claude "Hoot" Gibson, 31, a member of the TU football staff since February, was named to succeed him. The resignation came in the midst of a National Collegiate Athletic Association investigation into the number of alleged violations in athletic department functions.

"This in no way is an indication that the NCAA allegations are Carillot said. "In fact, the only wrongdoing on my part was that of providing transportation for a prospective student-athlete in a private plane." But, he said, "due to personal feelings and as a result of allegations made by the NAACP concerning recruiting policies of the football staff at the University of Tulsa, it is my belief that in the best interests of the university I should tender my resignation at this time." The resignation was announced jointly by Carillot and Dr. J. Paschal Twyman, university president, at a mid-afternoon news conference. Carillot, who came to Tulsa last season, had a five-year contract He and Twyman said settlement of the contract would be negotiated.

Carillot said he had no immediate plans for his future. He came to TU from Michigan State. There has been speculation he will take a business offer in Michigan. Twyman said the university's work of replying to NCAA charges is about half finished. It must be submitted to the NCAA by Sept.

Even before he hurled his game against the Phillies, Singer was known as Billy No No. There are two versions how he acquired the nickname.

The one subscribed to by Singer is that it came following a seven-inning no-hit, no-run game when he was with Spokane in the Pacific Coast League. The other is that Don Drysdale watched Singer, as a rookie, moving Ms head from side to side while running and observed, "He's always indicating no, Since his return to action, the Miss Bastanchury, 22-year-old 26-year-old pitcher, a 200-pound- er standing 6-foot-2, has posted a 6-1 record.

It was not clear whether any reasons were given for the threat Keino said he was worried and did not run the race in the way he planned. But when newsmen asked him if this was because of. the death threat he just lauched.

"I was really worried because Quax was right there behind me and I knew he was capable of a powerful finishing kick in the last 200 meters," Keino said.

Floyd Patterson Returns To Ring NEW YORK (AP) Floyd Patterson, 35-year-old former world heavyweight champion who has not fought since Sept 14, 196S, will return to the ring Tuesday, Sept 15 to box Charlie "Devil" Green of New York at Madison Square Garden. Patterson, inactive since lost a controversial decision to Jimmy Ellis in Stockholm in 1968, is the only man ever to win hack the heavyweight title. He won it by beating Archie Moore in 1956, lost it to Ingemar Johansson in 1959, won it back from Johansson in 1960 and lost it to Sonny Liston in 1962. The 1952 Olympic champ failed in attempts to regain the championship against Liston in 1963, Cassius Clay in 1965 and Ellis, who held the World Box- ong Association title, in 1968.

It will be Patterson's first appearance in the new Garden and his first main event in the Garden, new or old, since 1965 when he beat George Chuvalo. His career record, dating back to 1952, is 46-7-1 with 35 knockouts. He has been stopped four times all in title bouts. Green, 28, is a tough puncher with a 13-6 career record. He has knocked out eight men and has been stopped twice, beating Henry Hank and Ray Anderson in his most recent local stars.

The 10-round match will be part of the Garden's Fight of the Month series on a special television network that reached SO stations for last week's Dick Tiger-Emfle Griffith match. The next in the series is an Aug. 4 heavyweight match between George Foreman, unbeaten, 1968 Olympic champ, and Chuvalo. Main Injured MINNEAPOLIS ST.
