But -Tanner had different ideas: "If we don't win the protest," he fumed, "Perry will be allowed to use his grease ball all the lime.

And if he is, everybody else will be allowed lo do the same. There'U be a rush on the market for the jelly he uses."

Owens declined to name the player.

"I was saying there was no of the rumor a Bristol would be hired," Ihe Phils official said. "I didn't say his (Luc'chcsi's) job was safe. Owens, who replaced the fired John Quinn as club general manager En early June, said he "would be inclined to go oul- side Ihe Philadelphia organization" in picking his field suc cessor a the 1972 season!
