Page 56-f jF.Exatmttrr Wed, June 9, 1 976 Bay draftee who's proud to serve 7 A "The fast ball is right there. We had it clocked on the machine, and it was timed in 92 (miles per hour), and that was an off day for him. He peaked after that. He'll throw consistently in the 90's." Third youngest of four children, of German-Danish extraction, Segelke lives with his mother, a coffee shop waitress, and a younger brother, Carl, 17, in South San Francisco's Sunshine Gardens district. A brother, 27, and a sister, 25, have married and the father, separated from Mrs.

Segelke, is employed on a farm near Modesto. "I like to fish and chase girls, play sports all the time," Segelke said, almost embarrassed to be talking to a reporter while schoolmates walked past, yelling congratulations at him. He wore a faded denim jacket, faded blue jeans, a yellow T-shirt and well-traveled work shoes. "I'd like to start out in California," he said, "but I'll probably go to some rookie league 'cause I'd probably get eaten up without my curve ball. It's not consistent yet.

The good thing is, I've got control of my fast ball." Of such elements are future stars born as well as youngsters who flash briefly into headlines and never are heard from again. One bit of immortality is already Segelke's, however, for all time. "Did you know Herman is in the Hail of Fame?" Zuardo asked. By Merv Harris At one end of the scale is Andy Messersmith, the pitcher who maneuvered himself into free agent status last year, opened bidding to all comers, hired an expensive agent to do his dickering for him and then signed with the Atlanta Braves for all the money a man can spend in a lifetime. At the other end is Herman Segelke, a rawboned 18-year-old redhead from El Camino High in South San Francisco who expects to open contract negotiations today with the Chicago Cubs, the team which selected him yesterday as the seventh youngster named in the major league baseball draft.

"Put down that I'm happy the Cubs drafted me," the graduating senior happily told his interviewer as they sat on a bench in the sunlit high school quad area less than an hour after word came to him a lifelong goal had been achieved. He'd been drafted by a major league team. "It was a big surprise," the 225-pound, 6-4 righthanded pitcher said, "because I didn't even know they were interested in me. But I don't mind going to the Cubs, because they're a good organization." Lou Zuardo, his high school coach, will help the youngster in his negotiations with the Cubs. They don't anticipate the process will be prolonged.

They're more concerned with the progress of his breaking pitch and the rapidity of his graduation from a team which reached the Central Coast Section semi-finals this season to a team which plays in the National League. It was Segelke's pitching and his home run hitting which was primarily responsible for El Camino's CCS regional playoffs triumph after a second-place North Peninsula League finish. He recounted his season record as 11 ins, 2 losses, including "a no-hitter, HERMAN SEGELKE 'A BIG SURPRISE' Examiner Photo- Newcombe out of British net tourney United Press International BECKENHAM, England Seeded stars John Newcombe and; Dick Stockton bowed out yesterday while favorite Jimmy Connors powered on remorselessly in the Beck-enham Robertsons grass court ten-; nis tournament.

Connors, did not have things all his own way against 21-year-old Peter Fleming of Chatham, N.J. Fleming, playing his first tournament as a pro, gave the left-hander from Belleville, 111., plenty to competition for more than an hour before Connors made it into the third round, 8-6, 6-3. Newcombe, three times Wimbledon champion, talked about the possibility of retiring after his upset defeat. "My arm injury is not really, any better. I reckon that two weeks ago I was a 12-1 bet for Wimbledon now I must be about 30-1," he-said.

Zuardo stood alongside his protege and noted that he'd physically overpowered most of his high school opposition.

"You're right," he acknowledged, "he was a man throwing against kids. But the thing about Herman is that he has a major league fast ball a fast ball comparable to guys in the major leagues right now. He just needs time to throw in the minor leagues, develop a breaking pitch, learn to spot his control. He's the type of guy like (Nolan) Ryan you sign maybe every 10 years. "Cooperstown?" the reporter responded with surprise.

"No," Segelke explained, "at Canton, Ohio. The pro football Hall of Fame. I won the U.S. punt, pass and kick championship when 1 was 10. The finals were at the Pro Bowl in Miami in 1969." Fans' taunts ire Reitz Baseball draft picks listed on Page 58.

A's select pitcher, Giants tab infielder taking pitcher Brian Duffy of Serra High School in the second round, and outfielder Ricky Henderson of Oakland in the fourth round. First pick in the draft was Floyd Bannister, a pitcher from Arizona State, by the Houston Astros. Bannister was unsuccessfully drafted by the Oakland A's three years ago when he was a prep. Bannister, twice an All-American, has blazed his way to a 37-5 record in three varsity seasons at Arizona State and led the nation in strikeouts the last two seasons. He fanned 217 batters in 1975, when he was 15-4.

"I'm hurt because I love to play the game and I haven't done enough to help the club," Matthews said.

"I'm afraid things just aren't going to improve unless there are some changes. "We don't have any veterans. How can you win without veterans? The teams that are doing good have veterans or guys pulling together as a unit. The Giants don't have either. We have guys who are hungry.

But they're hungry only for themselves." And so it went last night.in the snake pit of the National League, where, any minute now, the truck may be backed up to the clubhouse door. A few old faces are bound to The San Francisco Giants, looking toward the future, picked a second baseman named Mark Ever-ette Kuecker as their top pick in professional baseball's 12th annual summer free agent draft yesterday. A dinky guy, standing a mere 5-10 and weighing just 155 pounds, Kuecker has just finished leading his Brenham (Tex.) high school team to the state tournament for the second straight year with a batting average of .520 and 32 RBIs. In addition to his infield and plate heroics, Kuecker also pitched a bit, compiling an 8-0 record on the mound this year. The A's, picking last and 24th in the first round, selected Mike Sullivan, a righthanded pitcher from Garfield High School in Woodfield, Virginia.

Sullivan, 6-0 and 166 pounds is 8-0 this year ith four shutouts. Since he began in Little League he has thrown 17 no-hitters. In the second round of the draft, San Francisco picked right-handed pitcher Tom Hawk, 18, from Kettering, Ohio. The Giants' third selection was John Sylvester, 21-year-old outfielder from the University of Tampa.

Jackson was to have his swollen right hand examined today by an orthopedic specialist, after an initial diagnosis indicated he had cracked a bone in the wrist. The 30-year-old outfielder, whose average has dipped to .205 after getting only two hits in his last 26 times at bat, first hurt the wrist on a swing in a game on May 7. He sat out one game, then returned to get three hits in the next contest. He left another game on May 16 after reinjuring the wrist on another swing, and caused further aggravation during his last at bat Monday night. "The x-rays that we took support the possibility of an injury to the navicular bone," said Dr.

Leonard Wallenstein, the team physician, followinq an examination yesterday. "We'll know more after Reggie sees the orthopedist. Jackson was out of the lineup last night, and will be on the bench again tonight when the Orioles close out a homestand against the Texas Rangers. Last night Fritz Peterson pitched Texas to a 6-3 victory. If the injury is indeed a cracked navicular bone, it would take six to eight weeks of rest to heal completely.

Jackson probably could play with pain, but he would run the risk of further aggravation. As a compromise, a rest period of a week or more might be tried initially. Jackson can barely close his right hand and he reported waking up at 5 a.m. yesterday morning with a throbbing pain. "It hurts all the way down to my fingers," Jackson said after last night's game.

"This comes from trying to do too much, too soon." In other A.L. games last night: Tigers 3, Royals 1 Lefty Dave Roberts tossed a seven-hitter to up his record to 5-i for Detroit. Jason Thompson clubbed a two-run homer and Rusty Staub had an RBI single for the Tigers. Yankees 4, Angels 2 Dock Ellis, 54, broke a personal four-game losing streak with a five-hitter for New York.
