The two cases involved Los Angeles State tackle Walt Johnson, signed by the NFL's Cleveland Browns, and Arizona State halfback Larry Todd, signed by the Oakland Raiders of the AFL. Coaches from each team said they were considering official protests. "They don't have any business signing a boy when he has a year to play," said Los Angeles State Coach Homer Beat-ty. "They waved so much money in the boy's face he couldn't turn it down. They have no regard for the boy or his coach." Browns' President Art Modell said "it's ridiculous" to the charge of waving money at Johnson and said Cleveland "found out he had no intention of going back to school.

Belinsky, the calamity-prone left-hander of the Los Angeles Angels, will be traded for one or more Philadelphia Phillies. There was also a rumor Tuesday that San Francisco would trade pitchers Bob Shaw and Billy O'Dell to the New York Yankees for catcher-outfielder John Blanchard. But that one was vigorously denied by both clubs. About the catcher's mitt: The playing rules committee outlawed the Big Berthas used to catch some knuckleball pitchers. The committee decided the mitt may be no more than 38 inches in circumference.

A conventional mitt is 33 to 34 inches. The Big Berthas, described by committee chairman Charles Segar as "burlesque gloves," are up to 45 inches.

While nothing is likely to overshadow the celebration that will surely follow such an event, there is still some curiosity about where Frank Howard and Bo Belinsky, among others, will be playing next season.
