Discounting the other 37 extra-base hits he had and the times second base was occupied, when he came up, Joe, like Willie (The Actor) Sutton, must have stolen every time there was anything to steal. Just getting to the big leagues at a heighth of 5-7 is a feat. "From the time I picked up a all I heard was, 'You're too small, Joe have you thought of the race track?" complains Morgan. They kept him in the minors four years, apparently hoping he'd grow rather than learn. SECOND YEAR Johnny Majors, who brought the Pittsburgh Panthers to respectability on the football scene last year, begins his second season Saturday as coach of the Eastern team at Florida State.

Thus; if things are patterned like in 1973, the Rams should come up with a victory Saturday night against Mt. Vernon. Last season, Madison was handed a 14-0 loss by Tiffin.

The Rams scored six points last Friday, but still lost to Tiffin, 26-6. The following week last year, Madison beat Mt. Vernon, 6-0. The Ram defense played a good game against Tiffin, but the offense had to turn to defense itself, and what happened wasn't favorable for the Rams. Mistakes, four of them which Tiffin cashed in on, paved the way for the loss.

Mistakes such as throwing a pass that was intercepted and returned 98 yards for a score, two fumbles that were picked up and returned for scores and a safety. The only "legitimate" touchdown for Tiffin was a 42-yard touchdown pass lateJn Ihe contest when Morales 2b Gernmo cf 3 1 0 3 0 Bench 4 0 1 0 0 Ivieph I Grubb cf Perei lb 3 I 2 0 0 McCovey lb Drlsen 3b 3 0 0 0 OWinfeldrf Knight 3b I 1 1 Ellitfll Concpcins4 0 I Hilton 3b Griffyrf3 0 0 Canzaroc Freed ph I 0 OKendllc Kennedy 2b 0 0 OMclntshp Cheney 20 3 I Gerhrdt Armbrstr rt I Copyright, 1974, The Los Angaltt Timos Spits 4 Lot If you were to list the lifetime exploits of Joe Leonard Morgan for a baseball fan who had never seen him and then asked the fan to describe the kind of man who came to mind on the basis of those feats, the fellow would probably answer, "Well, he's between 6 and 7 feet tall, between 200 and 300 pounds, would scare you to look at him, has a beard that requires shaving twice a day, spits a lot, speaks baritone and goes around tearing telephone books in half." If you put the real Joe Morgan on "What's My Line?" Arlene Francis would ask, "Is there a horse connected with what you do?" The real Joe Morgan looks as if he belonged in a Kentucky Derby, not a World Series. If he was any smaller he'd be invisible, He looks as if he has to jump to turn on the shower. You couldn't pick him out of a crowd of jockeys. There have been a lot of little people in major league baseball.

A couple of them are in the Hall of Fame. There's Wee Willie Keeler and Rabbit Maran-ville, to name two. Their lifetime homers wouldn't make a good season for Joe Morgan. Best Ever for pound, Morgan may be the best ever to play the game. Jaws drop all over the league when a Bobby Bonds hits 30 homers and steals 30 bases a year, Well, Morgan hit 26 homers and stole SIXTY-SEVEN bases last year.

"It would have been easy for the defense to give up watching those guys fly down the field and score," Heimann said, "but they stuck in there and held them." The late-game bomb was a factor of Madison going for the interception, sorely needing to get on the scoreboard with time running out. "We had some1 penalties that hurt us, such as offsides on third-and-one that made it third-and-six," he said.

"We have to get our concentration back." In general Heimann said he was pleased with the defense for the game 0 0 Gaston ph Broken NORTH ROBINSON -Colonel Crawford set a school record as did Reed Hiltner as the Eagles topped Wynford in high school golf action, 160 to 181.

Sweeping Swing When he did come up, managers looked at that sweeping swing and big bat and covered their eyes, They kept wondering why he didn't choke up, bunt, slap or jump around and work the pitcher for a walk.

They needn't have worried. Pitchers are glad enough to walk Morgan today with a base open. And sometimes even when there isn't. He has led the league twice in walks with more than 100 and generally is among the leaders. If baseball owners were myopic when it came to recognizing Morgan's prowess, baseball writers were no better.

No one quarrelled with the selection of teammate Pete Rose as MVP last year. The quarrel was, Morgan got only one first place vote and was left off the ballot by several. If the Reds win the pennant this year, Morgan should win the MVP unanimously. The Big Red Machine is really a compact. An observer noted in the presence of San Diego's Buzzie Bavasi one day, "Joe Morgan's the best little player in the game." Bavasi cracked back, "Whaddaya mean, 'little'? You know anybody bigger that's better? In fact, as good?" Another writer sighed, "If only Joe Morgan were 5 or 6 inches taller." "If he was," came the rejoinder, "He'd be playing center for the Milwaukee Bucks." LEXINGTON 3, John Galat, STOLEN BASES -National League: Brock, St 105; Morgan, Cln, it, Lopes, LA, 55.

Milt Wilcox was the last pitcher to face Detroit Outfielder Designated Hitter Al Kaline in Lakefront Stadium and his putout on an infielder grounder drew boos from the 3,570 fans as Kaline went 0 for 5. Before Kaline batted, however, he was given a standing ovation for at least a minute from the small but appreciative audience.

He was 0 for 9 in the two- game series here and leaves town still needing 15 hits to reach the 3,000 mark that will also mark his signal to retire after 22 seasons as a major leaguer. time. Well, that's good because this club is loose. We're winning more naturally. "Before, there were some very important games we had to win and didn't because we were out pitched.

But the club is not tense, I don't think there's pressure on us. I certainly didn't feel any tonight." Peterson added, "The guys ahead of us (New York, Boston and Baltimore) aren't even looking at us. They're just not concerned with us because they're watching each other. "They'd better not forget us altogether. If we get the hitting and pitching like we have in the last few games, I'd say we stand a pretty decent chance."
