Although Loughery js pretty adept at baiting refs, Motta is the biggest offender. Last season the volitile Italian-Mormaii was slapped with a $2000 fine and suspended a week for critical remarks concerning referees and attempting to intimidate ref Ed BatagowskL; Ironically, Batagowski waa-vftbt rehired this season.

Montreal, pet. 10 (AP) Henri Richard, the Canadiens- veteran center and collision course with coach Walker, a team physician.

The suit filed in Alameda County Superior Court asked $1 million, in damages and $1.5 million in punitive damages, alleging the 31-year-old Andrews, who did not play major league baseball this year, "ha3 been held up to public scorn, contempt, ridicule and disgrace" because of his treatment during last year's World Series. Andrews was at his home in Peabody, today but would not answer telephone calls. His Mike Andrews wit said he-had been advised not to discuss, the suit. Andrews made two errors at second baseiiKae 12th, inning of the second World Serie" gantey which the A lost -10-7 to -the Mets, and Finley ased kiih 'to undergo" a physical -exanrfnatgra-after the game.

Walker, who a i ni Andrews, signed aleeter saying the infielder was-anaale to play his position" because of a bad shoulder and Andrews "was left behind when the A's flew to New York. V- The A's asked permission to replace Andrews with infielder Manny Trillo, but Commissioner Bowie Kuhn turned down the request and ordered Andrews reinstated. Andrews rejoined the team in New York after going from Oakland to his home near Boston. After the World Series, which Oakland won in seven games, Andrews was placed on waivers by the A's and, when no other team claimed him, was released by Oakland. Attorneys Robert S.

Gottesman Jax Hurting; Will He Play? Lios Angeles, Oct. 10 Reggie Jackson's injured left hamstring was to be examined today by Dr. Robert Kerlan and the diagnosis may hold the fate of the A's bid for a third-straight World Championship. Jackson was reduced to the role of a designated hitter in the last two playoff games, but there is no DH in the World Series. So, it will be play or sit for the slugger who led Oakland with 29 home runs and 95 RBI during the regular season.

"I'll play, if I can walk," said Jackson. "I mean, can you imagine a guy not playing in the World Series as long as he Is able to walk? I missed the 1972 Series and 4 cried like a baby. It'a not going to happen again." Pepe I 1 Si I of San Francisco and Harold Meixler of Boston 'filed the suit! in behalf of Andrews, alleging libel and slander. i It alleged that Andrews had been unable to find employment as a ball player this season and has suffered "severe menta! anguish and emotional distress." Andrews also signed the doctor's letter, which was sent to Kuhn, but said in a New York news conference during the Ser--ies that he first told Finley: "I couldn't sign it because it was a lie." Andrews said he finally signed when he became convinced "if I didn't sign I'd never be in an A's uniform again." Other Oakland players were angry when they learned of Andrews' plight. He had become a popular member of the team, although he had joined the A's only midway in the season after being picked up as a free agent.

Manager Dick Williams, who had managed Andrews several years earlier with the Boston Red Sox, told the A's he was in sympathy with them and Andrews, Andrews suit against Finley said the A's owner caused distribution: of copies of the doe-tor's letter to Kuhn and that publication the letter damaged Andrews "erood name, fame and reptrtationr as a professional Dan player." (nicies, 101-92 Coach Red Holzman called last night's effort the best so far this exhibition season' but it wasn't quite good enough. Despite the absence of Dave Cowens, sidelined for eight weeks because of a broken bone in his right foot, the Boston Celtics pulled away from the Knicks in the final four minutes for a 101-92 verdict. Cowens' replacement, Jimmy Ard, proved to be the biggest surprise to the Madison Square Garden crowd of 1 19,017, the Knicks, his teammates and maybe even himself by totaling 15 points, 12 rebounds and three assist. Two weeks ago the former Net muscleman was cut by the Philadelphia 76ers. In the first game the 10-deep Buffalo Braves beat the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-less Milwaukee Bucks, 108-99.
