K3 Reg $41.99 Now $3199 From Tribune Wires Italian Formula One driver Riccardo Patrese was found innocent Wednesday night of manslaughter charges in the death of Swedish driver Ronnie Peterson, who crashed at the start of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in 1978. Also found innocent was Gianni Restilli, who was racing director of the event and was accused of contributing to the death by giving a premature start signal. When the verdict was read in a Milan, Italy court, Patrese's mother burst into tears and ran to hug her son.

The prosecution had asked the court to sentence Patrese to eight months in jail and to find Restelli innocent. Patrese and Restelli, also were found innocent of charges of unintentional injury to Italian driver Vittorio Brambilla, who suffered head injuries in the accident and spent 100 days in a hospital. Patrese and Restelli were present in the Milan criminal court for the opening of the trial. But Britain's 1976 world champion James Hunt, now retired from racing, did not attend. Testimony given by Hunt in the pre-trial hearing was admitted in court and formed a major plank of the state prosecutor's case.

The multiple crash happened at the very outset of the race when drivers were jockeying for position after leaving the starting grid. Hunt's McLaren swerved to avoid Patrese's Arrows and hit Peterson's Peterson's happened because I was squeezed over by Patrese who came in on my right," Hunt said. "The accident would not have happened if Patrese had not tried to squeeze in front of me." League May Die Only a new major sponsor can save the Women's Professional Basketball League from multimillion-dollar losses that threaten to eliminate any plans for a 1981-82 season, says the principal owner of the New Orleans Pride. Claudette Simpson said Tuesday she'd love to sell her own team to new investors. "I had interest in Jackson but no one is going to buy a team if there is no league," Mrs.

Simpson. Of the eight WBL teams that participated in the 36-game season, just Dallas, Chicago and San Francisco remain operational, Mrs. Simpson said. She said teams in New Jersey, Minnesota, St. Louis and Nebraska have either suspended operations or are languishing with no prospective buyers.

The survival of the Pride is questionable, she said, because of the uncertainty surrounding the WBL, which did not even conduct a 1981 draft of college basketball players. Three co-owners formed the Pride in 1978 following the flight of the National Basketball Association New Orleans Jazz to Utah. One was Mrs. Simpson's husband, who bought out the other owners after the 1978 season and made his wife the team's principal owner and general manager. TAC Defends Actions The Athletics Congress, sanctioning organization for amateur track in the United States, rose to its own defense to "set the record straight" about its intentions on eligibiity rules and prize money.

TAC issued a statement Tuesday which labeled as "unwarranted" the comments by New York City Marathon champion Alberto Salazar. "Salazar is an exceptional athlete, with whom TAC has had a good relationship," the statement said. "But his statements in New York Monday were completely unwarranted. "Our intent is to set the record straight on TAC policy." Salazar criticized, during a news conference, TAC rules on eligibility and payment to athletes in long distance events and the experiment in which TAC allows athletes to take money but turn it over to a special escrow fund. TAC said it favors repeal of the eligility rules which would allow athletes to receive renumeration.

However, a proposal to end such restrictions was rejected by the International Amateur Athletic Federation in September. Sale ends October 31st car, causing a crash that killed the 34-year-old Swede. The prosecution case was that Patrese crossed a white line marking the lanes on the starting grid in an attempt to get around Hunt. Patrese cut in sharply in front of Hunt and forced him to swerve and collide with the rear of Peterson's car, the prosecution said. Patrese, who denied he was to blame for the accident, told the court Wednesday: "When the green light came on, I got away to a good start in the sixth row.

In front of me was Hunt, who seemed to have been caught by surprise, or maybe just had a bad start. "He was obstructing me, so I swerved to the right and crossed the white line. To slow up would have caused trouble to the drivers behind me. The most fluid solution was to pass Hunt on his right. "I overtook him and when I was completely past him I noticed there was nobody on my left," Patrese said.

"I got back into my lane carefully, without any problem." Armando Spataro, the deputy state prosecutor who investigated the case and is now acting as state prosecutor in the trial, read a statement Hunt made to him during the investigation.

From Tribune Wires All-Star guard Eddie Johnson, sidelined during the Atlanta Hawks preseason practice by a recurrence of mental problems, may be suspended indefinitely today, the last day for NBA teams to get down to the 12-player limit. Johnson, who has been working out on his own since being released from treatment in Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital psychiatric ward, said Wednesday, however, he is prepared for that decision.

"I'm aware that could happen," he said. "The decision is up to (Hawks Coach) Kevin Loughery and I think he's been quite fair under the circumstances." The 6-foot-2 guard from Lake Weir had similar mental problems more than a year ago but recovered to post his best professional season ever, including selection for the All-Star game. New Jersey Nets Rookie forward Albert King signed a multi-year contract Monday with the New Jersey Nets, but the first-round draft choice may begin the season on the injured list. The 6-foot-6 forward reached a four-year, $1 million agreement with the Nets just prior to training camp, but the deal fell through when the club discovered his knee cartilage was damaged.

Spriggs, a 6-7 forward out of Howard University in Washington, D.C., was the Rockets' fourth-round draft choice this year. He played in five preseason games. Cleveland Cavaliers The Cleveland Cavaliers traded veteran guard Mike Bratz to San Antonio Wednesday in exchange for the Spurs' third-round pick in the 1983 draft. Bratz' departure was expected to give more playing time to rookie guard Mickey Dillard of Florida State, a third-round choice by Cleveland in this year's draft. Walton Issued Order Bill Walton, a former member of the Portland Trail Blazers, has been ordered to answer questions about his alleged use of cocaine or else face dismissal of his $5.6 million lawsuit against doctors who treated his broken foot.

Walton, who claims the treatment in 1978 shortened his NBA career, twice refused to answer such questions last August when he was being questioned in pre-trial depositions by defense attorneys. Presiding Multnomah County Circuit Judge Charles Crookham rejected Walton's claim that Fifth Amendment protection protected him from answering such questions. The judge held that Walton cannot incriminate himself on any criminal charges by answering questions about cocaine use since an individual cannot be prosecuted for usage, as opposed to the possession of the drug.
