trade may prove OK By D.L. Stewart Journal Harold Sporti Writer WILMINGTON On the surface, at least, it wouldn't appear to have been one of the Cincinnati Bengals' best trades. Maybe not even in the top 10. After all, Paul Robinson and Fred Willis ran wild fot Houston in the second half of last season, Raining yards, catching passes, scoring touchdowns. Charlie Joiner and Ron Pritchard, meanwhile well.

Charlie Joiner and Ron Pritchard spent a lot of time watching. But Joiner, for one, feels that the deal that brought him to Cincinnati last October 24 will pay off for the Bengals this year. "It should ne a different story this year," he said. "It better be." YOU REALLY HAD TO strain to har what Charlie Joiner was saying in his dormitory room at the Bengals' Wilmington College training camp, It was almost a matter of reading his lips. That's the way Charlie Joiner is.

A quiet, soft-spoken guy. A seemingly emotionless guy. But the emotions are there, however deeply buried. And they were somewhat uncomfortable emotions last year during the eight games he spent as a part-time player with the Bengals. Cincinnati had traded away two of its most popular running backs to get wide receiver Joiner and linebacker Pritchard.

In return, bengal fans got very little to cheer about. Joiner, who was ndvertisrd as a quick panacea for a I Tom Hall i IJC juniors place high SPRINGFIELD, Ohio Dayton juniors Tom O'Neal and ll'dseil Boris finished third and fourth in their respective divisions in the Ohio golf tournament at Reid Park golf course yesterday. O'Neal took third in the 13-15- business. The clinic, still will receive top-flight instruction from Hall and Tomlin. Hall is one of the top long-relief pitchers in baseball.

The fireballing lefthander picked up 10 wins last season, against only one loss, while compiling a 2.61 earned run average. The 6 0, 160-pounder also recorded eight saves last season and was undefeated with a 7-0 mark as a reliever. "The Blade" used quite an array of pitches in his first campaign with the Reds, surprising most batters with his blazing fast ball. But. he could also finesse a batter into making an out with his curve, slider and curve, slider and rhange-up, but he probably gets more hitters out with breaking pitches." Hall has such outstanding control of all his pitches, that Reds Manager Sparky Anderson will let him pitch to both left and right-handed batters in almost any situation.

"It doesn't mailer if the batter is right-handed," Sparky points out, "Tommy has such good stuff it takes the advantage away from the hitter." Hall, who spent four seasons with Minnesota in the American league before coming to Ihe Reds in 1072, had to work hard and press himself for his outstanding control and variety of pilches. And thai is hat he will be drilling pitchers on at the clinic. Control is a pitcher's biggest asset, and Hall ill be the first to admit it and stress it. TOMLIN, alro will be stressing control. The 21-year-old left-hander also depends on great control, and he has been successful.

His ERA has stayed around the 2.00 mark throughout his six years in professional baseball. Tnmlin's outstanding relief work with the Class AAA farm team in Indianapolis earned him a shot with the Reds, and in his brief time in the majors he has worked 10.2 innings and recorded a save. Hall and Tomlin will join Pan Driessen and I any Stahl as instructors, along with two other Reds who will be announced later. Also al the I i i door pries. such as batting helmets, bats and autographed balls will be awarded.

"HE CAN throw his breaking pitches for strikes no matter what the count," said Reds pitching coach Larry Shepard. "He throws the fast ball. dreary air attack, caught just eight passes in his half season with Cincinnati. In two games, he never got off the beni-h. There was.

Joiner admits, "snnie pressure" in a situation like that. "When we came here." he added, 'Cincinnati was winning. It's tough to break into a lineup then. Plus, it was a real learning process. They run patterns differently here, it's a different numbering system.

So I just didn't got to play that much." But Joiner already has given indications that this year, his fifth as a pro, will return him to the outstanding form he flashed for Houston in 1170 Pro Football Transactions Charlie Joiner rmrinnli PUnnrtlv- Wnivt rookie a 'Oid John DompMr ol Nolrt Dnm and '71.

Nearly as impressive as rookie Isaac Curtis, another big man in Cincinnati's receiving plans. AND JOINER HAS continued to look good at Wilmington, earning frequent praise from Head Coach Paul Brown. "My goal is to have a good training camp," Joiner said. "If I do that, I'll have a good season." In Joiner's rase, a good season does not necessarily mean being a full-time starter. If Curtis lives up to his puhlinty and Chip Mvers again turns in the kind of showing he did last year.

Joiner may wind up as the No. I sub. "Maybe." he concedes. "But if I'm a backup man, I'll be the best backup man in the league." Which should be enough to boo--t that Oct. 21 trade into the top in.
