The Palladium-Item, Richmond, Ind. 24 Spassky Says Cameramen Ruining His Chess Training Hair We Go Again Skippers Ralston, Anderson Air Views On Dress, Grooming Of Pro Athletes I i I 1 ITS I l-nl Mi the players were getting careless in the area of their dress and appearance, maybe they were also getting careless in their football performance." John Ralston breaks down the whole business about long hair versus short hair this way: "I don't judge any boy who comes out for football by the length of his hair. I want to know more about him as an individual. There was a time when you coached a team. Now you coach individuals.

There was a time you coached a body. Now you coach a mind." Athletes, amateurs and professionals alike, ask a lot more questions today than they ever did. This goes for Cage Clinic Set At Cedar Grove CEDAR GROVE One day appearances by Connersville basketball coach Myron Dick-erson and former Harlem Globetrotter Hallie Bryant will be included in the Whitewater Valley Basketball Clinic July 17-21 and 24-28.

Those on the side of long hair will ridicule Ralston's ruling the same way they did Ed Khayat's last fall when the 1 Philadelphia Eagles' coach made his players come clean, or reasonably so, anyway.

Did you notice though, nobody was laughing at Khayat by the end of the season? Anyway, John Halston never struck me as some kind of fanatic and he assures me he's not, about long hair or anything else, so I asked him what prompted his shave-and-haircut edict. Team Over Individual "Actually it wasn't anything like an edict," he said. "I didn't say we wouldn't have any moustaches. All I said in that connection is that a little moustache is all right and the players can wear their side-bums medium length, but I do expect them to get rid of the extra foliage. This is one place I expect them to put the team above their own individuality." Okay, but what brought this whole thing about? "Well, we had a couple of fellows at our rookie camp, two in particular," Ralston said.

Did they have long side-bums? "They had a full beard," laughed Denver's new coach. "The whole works." Uh huh, then it would be safe to say Ralston was in full accord with Ed Khayat and with what the Eagles' coach said and did last fall? "I couldn't help but admire him," said Ralston. "He might've felt there were a lot of areas on the team that need tightening up. If some of football, basketball, ice hockey, baseball or whatever other sport you care to name. They ask questions about everything: hair, dress, curfew, you name it.

Sparky Anderson, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds, was talking about his club's player representative the last time Cincy was here in New York. The Reds' player representative happens to be Johnny Bench, who knows Anderson has a deep personal and professional respect for him, but that doesn't keep Bench from asking Anderson pointed questions about certain rules he imposes. Tells Them Why "All he wants to know is why," Anderson says of his young superstar. "He doesn't beat around the comers. Like he wants to know why our players have to wear a tie and jacket on the plane and in the hotel lobby when they're in a group.

All I can do is give him my reason, which is that a group of players looks more professional that way. "Now they have these new shirts with these real wide collars. To me the shirts look good, especially on these young kids. With these shirts you don't wear a tie. That's fine when they come down to the lobby from their rooms.

But now they're coming down as individuals, not as a group. That's different. "Like coming here to New York from Philadelphia. We came over on a bus and the players wanted to know whether they had to wear a tie on the bus. I told them no.

It's just common sense, that's all. If people merely use it, there's never any trouble at all." Ah there, Sparky Anderson, you have just said a mouthful. Campaigns For His Heroes Seven-year-old Greg Stiegler took his stand at the voting box at Municipal Stadium to encourage fans of the Kansas City Royals to vote for Lou Piniella, Fred Patek, Cookie Rojas and Amos Otis for the All-Star game next month.

"You are ruining our program," Spassky said. "This is a daily routine which I must get on with." The photographers were not Interfering with his game. They stood outside a fence which circles the asphalt court in a schoolyard. Because of the great physical strain of the 24-game chess championship beginning next Sunday, both Spassky and Fischer have been working out regularly for months.

Fischer, 29, expected to arrive Thursday, is a good tennis player and swimmer. He is six years younger than the champion. Chess players say the loser will be the man who tires first.

Tuesday night, Splittorff, at the suggestion of writers, interviewed Mayberry. The writers were all set to take down some memorable quotes.

Splittorff, who takes pride in his own hitting, started by asking, "John, is it because you know I'm going to hit good that you have to do so well everytime I pitch?" That broke things up pretty good. Mayberry was taken out of the starting lineup for about two weeks near the end of May. He credits manager Bob Lemon with taking the pressure off him. "He said he was taking me out for a little while, but that he hadn't lost confidence in me and I'd get back in there," Mayberry says. "That -meant a lot to me.

Ralston wears his hair short He doesn't care if you meant something." Mayberry was pressing, no doubt about that. But another; factor is that when he got back in the lineup, he moved about a foot away from the plate. Early in the season, pitchers were jamming him! with fastballs, then getting him out with off-speed stuff on the outer part of the plate. 'l still get jammed," Mayberry says. "Every Wilbur Wood jammed him with a knuckleball Monday night, but John got the meat part of the bat on a check-swing and lined a shot to left-center for another RBI.
