Gentile Fined By Giles, Shipped Out By Astros T5 HOUSTON (AP) The Houston Astros assigned Jim Gentile to Oklahoma City Monday but the veteran first baseman with the exploding temper indicated he might quit baseball rather than report to the minor league club. Astro Manager Grady Hat-ton said Gentile is "a bad influence" on the club and "he's not going to play for Gentile, 32, was informed of the decision Sunday night shortly after he was kicked out of the game between Houston and the Chicago Cubs, for tossing his bat toward plate umpire Ed Vargo. Going Home 4It looks like this is it," Gentile said. "I'm going home." His home is in Castro Valley, Calif. National League President Warren C.

Giles ordered a five-day suspension for Gentile and imposed a $250 fine for the incident. Giles said that if Gentile reports to Oklahoma City the penalty will be enforced by Phil Piton, president of the National Association of Minor Leagues, and Dewey Soriano, president of the Pacific Coast League. Giles said Gentile made "offensive remarks" at Vargo before throwing the bat toward the official. Gentile was officially assigned to Oklahoma City, an Astro farm club in the Pacific Coast League. But Hatton said if any major league club wants him Houston is ready to make a deal.

"I went along with him as long as I could but I'm not going to put up with his stuff anymore," Hatton said. Bud Influence "I don't want to keep him out of the majors if anyone wants him. But he's not going play for me. If I'm going to lose, I'm not going to lose with players who put their own feelings above that of the team. It's hard enough to try to keep a team fired up without having the added burden of people who think only of themselves.

"It's true Jim has been, helping us some. But I believe his over-all attitude is a bad influence on some of the youngsters on the club. We don't want to ruin them. They're too good prospects." Seven Home Runs Chuck Harrison has been recalled from Oklahoma City to take Gentile's place and was in the line-up Monday night when the Astros played Los Angeles. Harrison, 25, almost beat out Gentile for the first base job this spring.

He has hit 74 home runs in the minor leagues the past two seasons. The Astros gave $100,000 and two minor league players to Kansas City last year for Gentile. He had a batting average of .244 this season, with seven home runs and 18 runs batted in. Goes Unclaimed Gentile has spent seven years in the major leagues. In three years at Baltimore he hit 103 home runs and drove in 300 runs.

Gentile already has passed through waivers without being claimed by other major league clubs.

Hits Fence Top The Angels got their third ran in the sixth after two were out.

Jim Vopicka, who had struck out twice, almost got the third homer. The ball hit ntar the top of the center-field fence. Vopicka held up at second. Henderson was given an intentional pass. When pitcher Ken Wirell walked Henry Salanoa and Vic Lopez to force in a run, he was jcrktd.

Ollie Brantley took his place and got French to fly out. The Twins never had a runner past second and on second just three times. Things looked dark for the Angels in the nightcap when the Twins scored three runs in the third frame. Towering Blow Secundo Almonte was on the mound for the Angels. John Counsell hit a towering homer over the right field fence.

Almonte got Dick Littlejohn on strikes. He did the same thing to pitcher Gary McGroarty, but on the third strike he threw a wild one. The visiting pitcher reached first. After Ezell Carter walked, Bill Connolly cracked a double to left field, McGroarty scoring-. Carter went to third from where he scored on a sacrifice fly by Craig Nettles.

Big Fifth Frame Eric Spelman came in to relieve Almonte," and he did a remarkable job. He not only blanked the Twins for the next three innings, but he retired 12 batters in order. By JOHN O'DONNELL Sports Editor The Quad-City Angels wound ud their home stay Monday night in a blaze of glory, taking both ends of the double header from Wisconsin Rapids, 24 and 6-4, at the Muny Stadium. They start an 8 day road trip at Clinton tonight with a double header. Gary Warmel-duff (0-1) will hurl the first game for the Angels and Les Mundel (1-3) the nightcap.

two teams will play singles games on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Then tire Angels will move to Wisconsin Rapids for three contests and to Fox Cities for two before returning to the local game for a double header with Waterloo on June 22. Two-Hit Game In the first game Monday night John French allowed the Twins only two hits, both of the infield variety. Neil Mc-Phee, shortstop, got both of them. He beat out a bunt in the second inning and a bounder to short in the seventh.

French, a southpaw from Stoneham, struck out 11 -and gave up only two walks. He got John Littlejohn and John Counsell three times each on strikes. The home run ball was the Angels' best friend in the opener. Paul Alderelte shot the ball over the left-field fence in the first inning, and in the second Joe Henderson clouted it over the right field fence. There was no doubt where the two balls would land when a college or university game on saturaay anernoon ana a pro game on Sunday.

This was almost a religious procedure with him. The Badgers of Wisconsin and the Packers of Green Bay were his first gridiron loves, but regardless of who was playing, Cub would enjoy himself. He did not believe in destructive criticism. When he talked about football contests or players, he was constructive. To be in his company and listen to him talk sports was a genuine pleasure.

A keen observer, he had a way of pointing out things which the average fan would overlook. In addition to being a player, he had been a coach, tot. If I am not mistaken, Miami University of Florida was his last stop in the coaching business. The man knew everybody, it seemed, and everybody knew him. He had friends all over the country.

Cub Buck was a delightful after-dinner speaker. Tbe former owner of Buck Buick in Rock Island and a leading business man of that city was right in his clement when telling football stories at such institutions as the Davenport Gridiron Club. At these Monday noon meetings everything was fresh in Cub's mind because, after all, hadn't he seen three games in as many days? And he had a great sense of humor, the kind which permitted him to Joke about football situations which the fans might take too. seriously. i In his last appearances as a speaker, Cub took to moaning a bit only because one of his great favorites, Willie Gallimore of the Chicago Bears, was not living up to expectations.

"That Willie," he would complain a bit, "just didn't run the right way not the wrong way, of course, but not just the right way." Cub never deserted Willie. He wanted tq see him get better and better. Cub could talk well about golf, baseball, basketball, track you name it and he was off to the races. A man who didn't drink or smoke, Cob traveled so many miles following athletics that he must have spent a small fortune that way. It was his life.

He was a ticket buyer deluxe because through sports he had his fun. Cubwas asked often who was his No. 1 choice of all times in football. He never hesitated. "Jim Thorpe was the greatest of all of them, and that takes in much territory," Buck would say "He could do everything well.

"You know he was in the major leagues in baseball, and as a track star he was a one-man team for the United States in the Oympics one year." Cub knew the outstanding Indian athlete very well because he played with him in the early pro circuit He and Jim Thorpe remained friends for all the years following the close of their careers. When Jim would get in a particularly jovial mood, he would call Cub. Cub would recall with that contagious laugh of his a laugh he used often because he was a happy man those days. "I was going to Wisconsin," he stated, "I couldn't use my right name, of course, playing pro on Sunday. So I went under the name of Morlarity.

"That's a little longer than Buck, but it hid my Iowa, Iowa State Frosh Game IOWA CITY, Iowa (UPI) The freshman football teams of Iowa and Iowa State will play each other in Hawkeye Stadium here Nov. 19 of this year, Iowa athletic director Forest Evashevski announced Monday. The game, beginning at 1:30 p.m., will be the day after the Iowa varsity squad ends its season against Miami of Florida in the Orange Bowl. Iowa State's varsity will have a game the same day at Arizona and end its season the next week at Colorado State. Turned Thumbs Down Plans for freshman athletic competition between the two state universities and State College of Iowa in Cedar Falls were revealed two weeks ago, but this was the first announcement of any specific event scheduled.

Last year, Iowa, a member of the Big Tea Conference, turned thumbs down on a proposal that it compete with Iowa State at Ames, a member of the Big Eight Confer ence, in varsity football and basketball. None of the three state schools in Iowa presently compete in any major sports. Evashevski said the agreement on the freshman football team was reached today between him and Iowa Stale athletic director Gordon Chalmers. New Big 10 Rule It was the first game for the Iowa frosh scheduled under a new Big Ten agreement which permits competition on a limited scale between freshman squads of different schools. Previously, freshmen teams at Big Ten schools were limited to intra-squad game and practicing with the varsity teams.

The freshman competition between the three Iowa schools was expected to possibly lead to resumption of varsity games between at least Iowa State and Iowa in football, basketball and baseball. '9 SPORT CHATS- (Continued On.
