One cannot imagine the great feeling of just being alive after a tough race." Walther now maintains residences in Beverly Hills and Marina Del Ray, where he counts movie celebrities among his closest friends.

Already he has done a bit role in the TV series, "Rockford Files," and probably will get other roles. Salt is the only man who races Gold Cup hydroplanes, Indy-type race cars and the stocks. Once he won 52 of 53 hydroplane races in which he competed. One he didn't win was at Tonawanda, N.Y., on Lake Erie in 1971. His boat came out backwards, did a barrel roll and flung him 160 feet in the air.

"I swam back to it," Salt said, "and managed to bring it to shore. It tore up my left leg. I needed 60 stitches." In the aborted start of the 1973 Indianapolis 500, Walther's car careened into the retaining wall and burst into flame. 'My arms and legs were broken. My ribs were cracked," Salt recalls.

"I had burns on 50 percent of my body. I was given the last rights. I was taken to the University of Michigan Burn Center. They grafted pigskin on my body. When my body rejected it, they grafted human skin and finally my own skin.

"I had never taken an aspirin but I lived on morphine for three months." Salt's left hand and left leg had to be rebuilt he still wears a black glove on his left hand. Although both hands are damaged, he has rebuilt his strength through weightlifting and can still clutch a steering wheel. Until he can't, he won't quit. "Not until I'm 40," he insists. If Hollywood should ever run out of ideas for a screen subject, it need only stroll down the boulevard a ways to Marina Del Ray and look up a young man named Salt Walther.

At age 30, Salt's life already is a book. Almost since he was big enough to hold a steering wheel, he has courted death. He has looked the specter straight in the eye, dared the ogre to do its best and then always come back for more. Salt Walther, they say, is victim of a "death wish." He denies it. There was the time his speeding hydroplane did a complete somersault and spat him into the sea.

Once his sleek thunderbolt of a racing car exploded in front of the packed stands of the Indianapolis Speedway. The machine disintegrated into flaming confetti. Salt was picked up virtually in pieces both arms and legs broken, ribs crushed, burned from head to foot and was carted off to the hospital to die. Thirty doctors frantically worked to keep him alive. "No chance," they said.

Salt wasn't listening. Thirteen months later, his older brother, Skip, whom he adored, died in a hydroplane crash during a race off the Miami coast. The emotional pain from this tragedy cut deeper than any physical wounds suffered in his own reckless, death-defying experiences and he thought he might never recover from the lingering nightmare. "After Skip died," Salt said, "I thought I would never race again. I was sickened by the idea.

But I became restless again. Racing is in my blood."

When the loud speaker blares, "Drivers, start your engines!" on May 27, Salt hopes to be at the controls of his Penske-Cosworth. He is still looking for a sponsor. Walther stopped in New York en route to Atlanta where he and other leading drivers of Indy-type machines were to compete Sunday in the second leg of the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) nine-race series.

He has lived a glamorous as well as perilous life. He was pointed but not pressured, he insists toward a racing career by a doting father, George, head of the $200 million-a-year Dayton-Walther of Dayton, Ohio. He was driving hydroplanes and race cars before he was old enough to shave. A dark-haired, handsome bachelor, he became a favorite of the jet set that pursues these helmeted daredevils all over the globe. He squired movie starlets, magazine cover girls and debutantes.

But he never married and vows he never will. He is wed to the thrill of racing. "No, I never feel that I am flirting with Los Angeles 2, San Francisco 1, 10 innings San Diego 9. Atlanta 5 Philadelphia 3. New York 0 Cincinnati 4, St.

A 14,843. By FRED ROTHENBERG AP Sports Writer Major league baseball's regular umpires, who are considered to be doing a good job only when they blend into the scenery, are conspicuous by their absence this season. A labor dispute has kept them on the sidelines, and all of a sudden people are realizing how much umpires mean to the national pastime. It may not be much consolation to the umps, one of America's most vilified and taunted groups, that their absence is making the heart grow fonder. Players, managers and fans alike are seeing that quality umpiring affects the integrity of the game and how the game is played.

Umpires are baseball's judge and jury, and their honesty and objectivity must be beyond reproach if the game is to remain synonymous with apple pie and motherhood in the minds of the public. But the "integrity of baseball," which Commissioner Bowie Kuhn often uses as rationale for his decision-making, is being diluted while the regular umps are not calling them as they see them. After Rick Waits of Cleveland pitched a one-hitter in the Indians' home opener, local umpire Bob Rice ran over from his second base post and shook his hand. A high baseball official says he is concerned that there isn't enough time to run the substitute umpires through the same intensive security checks that regular umps receive. "I'm scared," said the official who requested anonymity.

"We could be hiring gamblers and we wouldn't know it." "Before, if a pitch was an inch off the plate, I'd take it because I knew the umps would call it a ball," said Houston's Art Howe. "But with amateurs, if it's three inches off the plate, you'd better be swinging." Except for two umps who worked briefly, the other 50 regular umpires have yet to officiate a major league game this year because they are dissatisfied with the salary offers in their individual contracts. But American League President Lee MacPhail and National League President Chub Feeney have steadfastly refused to bargain with Richie Phillips, attorney for the Major League Umpires Association, who is asking for a package of $520,000 in raises for the 52 umps. The executives contend that the umpires have a valid contract through 1981, so there is no need to negotiate. That basic agreement does set salary minumums, just like the players' basic agreement sets minimums.

But suffice it to say that only the rawest of rookies is stuck at the minimum salary or anything near it. Nearly every umpire, however, makes the minimum or close to it. That means $17,500 for rookie umps; $22,500 after four years; $27,000 after seven, and $39,000 after 16. No National League umpire received over $40,000 in 1978. In the past, negotiation on individual contracts meant signing and returning the contracts mailed to them by the leagues.

Period. This year, with Phillips in their comer, the umps en masse didn't sign the contracts. Technically, it isn't a strike. The umps are merely unemployed right now. "What we're asking for works out to about $20,000 for each of the big league clubs," says Ron Luciano, president of the umpires association.

"Jake O'Donnell over in the NBA (National Basketball Association) has been an official same as me for 10 years. O'Donnell works 95 games a season, counting playoffs and gets $60,000. 1 worked 170 last season. My salary was $31,000." "We feel very strongly about this," said MacPhail. "We're not ready to abandon what we feel is the historical pattern of salaries, which the umpires knew very well and accepted when they signed the basic agreement.

"Everybody's perspective gets a little twisted today, particularly in our business where you have these tremendous players' salaries. But it's sort of incongruous to sit in a court and listen to an umpire say how badly paid he is when it turns out he's getting more than the judge hearing the case. "As a group they're well paid, in the top seven percent of the wage earners in the country. We're not pleading poverty. This is a matter of principle." For once, the fans seem to be on the side of the umps.

The fans have been great," said Luciano. "Public opinion is with us. Those same people who yell 'Kill the and make you sleep with your light on, are behind us now." In Pittsburgh, a strong labor city, the umpires picketed and were joined on the lines by some members of Teamsters union locals. The Pirates gave away helmets for a weekend game and drew 10,000 half the number the team averages for its promotions. There were also 459 no-shows.

On Easter Sunday, the Pirates drew 3,012. In Boston, the umps won a vote ot support from the Massachusetts State Labor Council which called on its 600,000 members to boycott Red Sox games. "Our monthly meeting voted unanimously to support the umpires' picket line and to boycott the Red Sox until the matter is resolved," said Bill Geary, president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. "The umpires have explained their position to us, and we feel we should support our fellow laborites." The umps had also won a vote of support from leaders of the 263,000 members of the National Association of Letter Carriers and the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association, which works special details at Fenway Park. In addition, umpire associations around the country the Greater St.

Louis Association of Umpires and the New England Umpires Association, for example are starting to rally behind the major league arbiters, refusing to supply umps from their ranks. It was these collegiate or sandlot umpires from the local areas who joined an official with big league or minor league experience to form the foursomes that have worked this season's games. When not umpiring, these umpires are your average butcher, baker and candlestick maker. Richie Lazar, who works for a factory catering service, abandoned his truck to umpire at Yankee Stadium opening day. "I'd like to see them get what they want," he said.

"But I always dreamed of working at Yankee Stadium. If I don't, somebody else will." "Let's face it," said Dick Nelson, a fill-in ump in Boston. "The guys who work the majors are the best. They're trained and nobody is going to step in and do the job they do." Rookie Ted Hendry and veteran Paul Pryor were the only regular umps who have worked this season. Pryor said he worked to pay the bills before he got an attack of conscience and joined his colleagues.

Hendry recently notified the AL that he was giving up the baselines for the picket lines. While working with the substitute umps, Hendry formed an opinion. "They're terrible," he said. "They're amateur umpires. It's not their livelihood.

They don't want to work. They're afraid. How can you work when you're scared? "Some of the calls I've seen have been embarrassing." In one Mets-Cubs game, Montreal batter Barry Foote was hit on the hand by a pitch. Home plate ump Lanny Harris ruled it a foul ball. Harris refused to look at Foote's swelled hand.

Foote argued loudly and was thrown out. That was just one example of an umpiring mistake. But regular umpires have blown calls, too. The difference, however, is that the replacement umps do not generally have the confidence of the players and it affects the way they play the game. "You get two strikes on you as a hitter, and you'd better be hacking," said Pittsburgh's Ed Ott.

Kansas City pitcher Larry Gura gave up just 60 walks in 222 innings last season. In a game against Detroit last week, he gave up five walks in 6'3 innings. "You throw a pitch and he calls it a strike and you throw it again and he calls it a ball," Gura said. "You don't know what to do." Some of the replacement umps previously worked in the majors but were not rehired by baseball. One was Dick Tremblay, who now is working Montreal games and another is Al Forman, who was fired after umpiring in the NL from 1961-65.

Forman thinks there isn't much difference in the quality of the regular and substitute umpires. "It's the same type of ballplayer as always that's moaning, possibly louder, when the local umpire makes a call on them," Forman said. "Good or bad, most of the times, the umpire is correct." Many players and managers disagree with Forman's assessment. "They can be rattled," said Atlanta pitcher Phil Niekro. They don't know how much they should take from the players." The game is suffering and it will continue to suffer as long as the strike lasts," said Manager Herman Franks of the Chicago Cubs.

"In my book, the interim umps are batting .000."
