(UPI)The Senior Little League long hair controversy here has spli the baseball program for boys 13 through 15, and cut this northern West Virginia town into two camps.

Two managers were choppec from the league and the Red Sox to a man, marched onto the fielc Friday evening and stacked their uniforms on the pitcher's mound refusing to play their schedulec game against Uie Giants. Ironically, it was the Giants who protested the game last weel when league president Homei Knotts strode from the stand; and pointed to Red Sox third baseman Daniel Hunt's hair saying it was longer than league rules permit. Rather than order his player to trim their locks, Richard Jone turned in his managerial reins Chuck Clifton, who manage the Tigers, has hair about a half inch over his ears, and the hair restriction applies to manager: as well, so he had to get out of thi league. That left the league with threi teams, and the ousted manager; and parents upset about tin league's operation said they would form their own league for boys. "We will go on and play baseball, but not under the rules of this league," said Donald Boyles, assistant manager of the Red Sox who directed the teen-agers' uniform-shedding before the eyes of the league' president.

Tomorrow you forget today. It's an Id saying in racing," so says dark Donohue. Mark Donohue will remember Saturday, May 27, 1972, for toe est of his life. Last Saturday he ained membership into the xclusive club of Indianapolis 00-mile race winners. Nobody, I ay nobody, forgets the day he oes that.

Millions observed the Indianapolis 500 on television and millions more have read about it. Any reader of these sports pages already knows of the results of hat race. And after reading about and seeing all of the unusual" events that made up his year's race, it's safe to issume that there will be some changes made. Notnecessarlly at ndlanapolls. Things Just don't change at Indy.

But to the championship Indy-type car series In jeneral. Durability was the key to Donome's Indy victory. He cut his wrsepower in order to survive. aiok for others to do the same in he upcoming races. "I CHOSE to run the small tur- xicharger on my car," said Vlark.

"It really hurt me when I ried to pass on the straights. The raffic was a problem because we owered the boost pressure and with the smaller turbocharger we lost 200 hp in the engine. It was my decision to go that way, nobody else's. It was a gamble to sacrifice the horsepower and speed for durability, but it paid oft. You've got to finish to win." A new system utilizing a series of eight yellow lights was used al Indianapolis for the first time to slow the cars down when the yel low caution flag was displayed There was a great'deal of doubl expressed before the race by drivers, mechanics, and anybody else who wanted to get into the act that the new system woule work.

It did. We're sure to see the system installed elsewhere. Before the race I was in favor of a pace car," said Donohue "But the lights are much better, take my hat off to whoever cami up with this system. The new sys tern is a definite must for the 500 mile races at Pocono (Pa.) and Ontario The race track was cleaned up quicker, the yellow flag was out for a shorter time, and it was just better all the way around." The start of this year's race as almost a finish at Uie same me. The green flag was dis- STEERING COLUMN By Bill Brodrick that guy grab for the green flag," commented Mark.

"I started grabbing for a gear and turned Ihe engine over 9500 revolutions to keep in the pack. We had been given the signal that there would be one more lap. Bobby (Unser), Peter (Revson), and 1 had our hands up in the air to signal the drivers behind us. Suddenly we were racing. "I'M AMAZED that they would do such a thing.

It could have been a very, very dangerous ituation. We're lucky we didn't avc a bad, bad accident." Many people have said that the uge wings on the Indy-type acers will be disallowed in the uture because of the high speeds urned by the cars. Now that's luestionable. It seems to me that tills was he safest race we've ever had lere," continued Mark. "It shows hat the wings make the car very table.

The wings also save the rakes and make stopping easier, so much drag that all I iad to do was lift from the gas wdal and the car almost stopped (self. I slowed down at the end only to save fuel." Only seven press members of he Union 76 Racing Panel of Ex- perls forecasted that Donohue would win (lie Indianapolis 500. le wasn't rated a favorite. But Donohue is a businessman in the Business of automobile racing. Ele doesn't like to see his business bail.

So where docsjie go from here? "1 WOULD like very much to win at Milwaukee (Jus Sunday," Mark said mattcr-of-factly. "It's Uie next race on the schedule.
