Roseboro, who required two stitches, later sued for $1 10,000 but settled out of court for $7000. "I don't think so," said Marichal. "John visited the Dominican Republic to play in the Juan Marichal Golf Tournament last winter.

I'm just sorry it ever happened. It did, though. John and I have forgotten the past and have become friends. But the fans and writers never forget." Yesterday's ceremonies included media awards to Jack Brickhouse, long-time Chicago baseball announcer for WGN, and Si Burick, veteran baseball writer for the Dayton Dally News. TONY ARMAS Day-to-day status By Larry Whiteside Globe Staff COOPERSTOWN, Their paths had crossed before.

George Kell and Brooks Robinson, a couple of country-talkip' boys, grew up in Arkansas just 60 miles apart. They had been teammates once, and they shared a common experience in life. They first met in 1957 when both were with the Baltimore Orioles, and they became friends. Both were the outstanding third basemen of their respective eras. But they spent only one season together, wljen Robinson and the Orioles were getting off the ground, and Kell was on his last legs as a player.

It was never a problem between them that Robinson had pushed Kell over to first base and eventually into retirement. There were no hard feelings. In fact, in his years as a Detroit announcer, Kell boosted Robinson's feats over his own. never dreaming that when Robinson stepped down five years ago, their paths would i i Tigers. "But I'd heard about him about 30 games into the season.

Hoot Evers told me he was a young man who could play. As soon as he got there, I knew Hoot was right. "I talked with him a lot. and I might have helped him with his hitting. But he never needed any help with his fielding.

After watching him, I knew what he had inside him." But Kell, whose career included a stint with the Red Sox from 1952 to 1954, was proud of his own accomplishments, too. He had a .306 lifetime batting average, led the American League in hitting twice and still holds the record for doubles (56). He led the league in fielding seven times. "I thought I belonged in the Hall of Fame," said Kell. "But after spending three days here with all of these great players, I'm not so sure anymore.

It's a great and happy experience. It may sound selfish now that I'm in. but I'm glad it's hard to become a member. It's such a great honor." The outpouring for Robinson far exceeded the welcome given a year ago when Frank Robinson drew a sizable following. Yesterday's crowd included at least 3000 fans from Baltimore, who came in 35 buses.

Robinson represented that special quality of longevity that probably won't be seen here again until Carl Yastrzemski is inducted. "The people of Baltimore and I grew up together," said Robinson. "And what made them special is that they stayed with me through my good years and my bad years. I spent 23 years in one city, and maybe that won't happen again to any other player. Yaz is in his 23d year.

But after him, you'll never see another. PLEXIGLAS LUCITE ACRYLITE Htm England IwgMt tack et char and ceterad plastic iIimi J. FREEMAN, INC. .65 TEHEAI DQRCHESTEH. MA Q21Z2 (617) 282-2792 Sports Plus every Friday shoes," said Ladd.

Several members of baseball's Executive Council will be at Fenway Park this afternoon for meetings, hosted by Haywood Sullivan, that are expected to last long into the night. The subject of the discussions is obvious: the retention of Bowie Kuhn as baseball commissioner. Eight of the 26 owners are trying to oust Kuhn and threaten a "bloodbath" if the Executive Council reappoints him. Kuhn's term expires a week from Friday.

Executive Council meetings begin Wednesday morning at the Marriott-Long Wharf, but the Kuhn issue is not on the agenda. Tony Armas aggravated the right hamstring pull that has troubled him three times previously, and left the game after the second inning.

"He had an outstanding game," said Ralph Houk In spring training and early in the season when he was struggling, much was made of the weight Peter Ladd had lost and the effect that had on his fastball. "I was trying to be a power pitcher, solely using my arm and not my body." said Ladd. He has three victories and nine saves in five weeks since his recall from Vancouver and has been a big factor in Milwaukee's charge into the heart of the AL East. "Part of it was lack of work, but most of it was mechanics. When I went back to Vancouver, (pitching coach) Eli Grba got me straightened out and got me back to using my body." Ladd, Tom Tellmann.

BROOKS ROBINSON GEORGE KELL Supplanted Kell Moved to first cross again In the broadcast booth. Robinson now does color for the Orioles.

They met again yesterday, winners in baseball's grandest sweepstakes. Robinson was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame last winter, along with San Francisco Giants star Juan Marlchal. Kell, who came close many times but was dropped off the ballot after 15 years of trying, was selected along with Dodger manager Walter Alston by the veterans committee of the Baseball Writers Assn. of America. "I still find it unbelievable," was saying yesterday, "that two guys who had traveled the same path and had the same goals could wind up in the same place in Cooperstown on this day." It was the most unlikely tale to come out of the Hall of Fame ceremonies here yesterday.

It was hot and sticky outside the nation's baseball shrine. But one had to think that some of the heat came from the warmth of the overflow crowd estimated at 12,000 and said to be the largest in memory for two Baltimorefavor-ites. "I didn't know Brooks until he got to Baltimore," said Kell, who was a star of the late 1940s and early '50s. mostly with the Detroit COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -Red Sox owner Jean Yawkey has been added to the board of directors for the Hall of Fame.

Pee Wee Reese and Marty Marion." While Marlchal had only around 300 people cheering for him here, his induction was beamed by radio and satellite television to his native Dominican Republic, where his election has made him a national hero. A spokesman said the coverage was expected to reach 4 million to 5 million viewers. Marichal's remarks in English were brief and subdued. He spoke in Spanish for several minutes, saying the day had special meaning both because of his induction and because it was Father's Day in the Dominican Republic. Marichal's election came on his third try.

John Cook sank an 8-foot birdie putt on the sixth playoff hole to win the $425,000 Canadian Open championship over Johnny Miller, whose bid for the title was wrecked by a shot into the crowd. Cook and Miller, who were on the Oakville, course for 6V2 hours, battled through a series of near misses in sudden death until Miller laid his second shot at the par-5, 18th hole into the crowd and couldn't get his next shot past the bunker. It was the second time that Miller had drilled his second shot into the crowd.

On the third hole of sudden death, he managed to scramble out with two putts to send the tournament back to the 16th hole.
