upset. The heckler's comments really set him off. "If I'm really getting bombed, I don't mind somebody jumping on me," Scherman said after cooling off in the shower. "But if you're doing an adequate or good job, that's something else. I felt he (the fan) was just a guy who was trying to get everybody's attention." Tuesday's flareup was the result of the tension that has been building within the 32-year-old Scherman since he went to training camp with the Pittsburgh Pirates in March.

RELEASED BY the he would report to Clncy'i Indianapolis farm club if the Reds matched Pittsburgh's offer. The Reds refused. Once an outstanding reliever with the Detroit Tigers, Scherman's record (2-4 with a 3.53 ERA) is not breathtaking, but neither is the team for which he is pitching. "The Pirates want to use me as an insurance policy In case somebody gets hurt," he said. "For triple they're paying me good.

But it not good when you think you should be in the big leagues. "IF I'M NOT on a big league roster when the season ends, I don't think I'll play again. I wouldn't have played this year If I had a good job In Dayton." 7 By Bucky Albert Jmnul Herald laarti Writer COLUMBUS In hli prime, Joe Nuxhall couldn't have done a better job of messing up a dugout than Fred Scherman did Tuesday night at Franklin County Stadium. It was a classic Nuxhallian performance. He sent a row of batting helmets flying, left a trail of bats and tobacco and took a good whack at that old favorite the water cooler.

This was after the former Fairview High School athlete had been restrained from going after a heckler in the box seats. Scherman, who pitches for the Columbus Clippers of the International League, blew his top after a particularly frustrating relief performance against Syracuse. HE HAD BEEN the victim of the siege of bad fortune that would have tried the patience of Job. In two innings of work that should have produced a couple of goose eggs on the scoreboard, Scherman had yielded three runs. Not only had his teammates given him atrocious defensive support, but Syracuse had gotten a couple of cheap hits that aroused Scherman's ire.

When Scherman came to the dugout, he was Prep Baseball I' PI Telephoio Headed home V- Montreal Expos, for whom he had pitched in 1975 and 1976, Scherman signed an agreement to train with Pittsburgh this season. But when the Pirates acquired relievers Terry Forster and Rich Cossage (who had performed for Manager Chuck Tanner in Chicago), Fred knew he had no chance. "I couldn't afford to do bad and I couldn't afford to do good," he said, explaining that no other club would have been interested if he'd ley Steve Can then, who leads the nation with Dili SJfj'winning mounts this year, checked out of the friital with a cast on his right arm and a swol-Jif jace yesterday.

LOWER PRICES and FASTER SERVICE! By Joe Cunningham Journal Herald Sports writer If Bob Berry can't find his pants tomorrow, he pitched poorly in the spring but the Pirates wouldn't release him if he pitched too well.

Scherman pitched too well, not permitting a run in his first IS innings on the mound. "They kept me and kept me and kept me until the last week," Scherman said. "When they finally made me a free agent, all of the major league rosters were set. KNOWING THE Cincinnati Reds needed a lefthander in the bullpen, Scherman called Manager Sparky Anderson, who, he says, seemed Interested. Pittsburgh had offered him a contract to play at Columbus with the provision that the Pirates would match the terms of his 1976 contract if he made the big club.

Scherman says he preferred Cincinnati and tuid 4tnows just where to look for them. rilliaivii CALL US FIRST 435-4200 p3JIe'll probably go straight to his brother Dave and CrMjiand they be returned. tave, 21, and Bob, 24, play for different teams in The Dayton Amateur Baseball Commission (DABC) AA league Dave with Quality Food and Vend-hi'S Bob with Merks Pabst. The two teams meet iporrow at 7:30 p.m. at Howell Field as the DABC Bpf As its 1977 season.

Overhead Door Sales The league has been cut from the 12 teams It had last year to just eight. Both managers think this will improve the league. "THE QUALITY of talent with the remaining eight teams is high," Mote said. With fewer teams, the recruiting has also been competitive. Even though the league is going to be tough, both managers think their teams have a chance at winning.

Mote thinks that this game could be an Indication of the way things could end up In the league. For the Berry bothers, though, it can only present problems. Bob plans to have a party for the Meeks team after the game. "I told Dave that If they (Quality) won, he shouldn't show up at the party," Bob said. "But If we (Meeks) win, he can come."

"Me, being the older, I sort of hid Dave's pants before the first game last year," Bob said. "He'll probably tie his stuff down this year, or get me back." Both men play shortstop for their respective teams, which finished as co-champions last season afnid some controversy.

"The Dayton Amateur Baseball Commission handled things a little shoddily last year," claims Ted Mills, manager of Quality. "We should have won outright." MEEKS WAS awarded two wins when games Johnny's Auto Parts and Transport Leasing that With hid been postponed were forfeited, in favor of Meeks. 14th teams ended with 31-5 records.
