He managed Sarasota to a pennant-winning season in the Gulf Coast League for rookies.

The Central Scouting Bureau was born out of the necessity to curtail ihe spiraling costs of player procurement. Member clubs retain a skeleton staff of their own and pay their pro rata share. The bureau is headed by Jim Wilson, former general manager at Mil waukee, and employs 63 full-time scouts, including Billy Jurges, Harry Strohm and Lee Anthony, who formerly worked for the Rangers. Hal Keller directs the local staff of nine scouts and their part-time assistants.

Klein says the Rangers fared well in their first draft with the bureau. The Sarasota team finished first with a 41-12 record.

and and Betty Stove, and many, many more. Nearly anyone who was anyone in the tennis world was on hand for the first Association of Tennis Professionals Tennis Association Awards Banquet at the Fairmont Hotel. Many people forsee this event as a television extravaganza in future years. Unlike other figures associated with professional sports, the players and administrators of the game chose to pick up their own individual tab for the affair: air fare, hotel bill, and banquet costs. The fact that many were to receive awards was secondary.

There was a more powerful force at work which brought nearly 500 people to Bent Tree i NANCY PALMER Country Club Monday afternoon and the Fairmont later that night. Cystic Fibrosis an incurable lung disease which gfflicts one child in every 1,500 born today was the true driving force behind tennis professionals and Me- troplex residents. It is the most common incurable her- disease in the United States today accounting for the great majority of patients with progressive, chronic pulmonary disease. The day-long fund-raising effort began mid-day at Bent Tree Country Club with a pro-celebrity doubles contest in which 16 local citizens contributed $500 each for the privilege of partnering with one of the ATP member pros. The dinner which followed was a black- tie affair at $50 a plate.

Along with it went a silent auction of top equipment from racquets right down to Arthur socks. All in all, more than $30,000. was raised to help the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in its battle against the dreaded disease. The awards to the players were undoubtedly meaningful to each one of the recipients since it was the ten- nis pros themselves who voted for their respective peers. Each winner received a award, named in honor of Jack Kramer, one of the top players, promoters and administrators.

Billie Jean King was the obvious choice of WTA Player of the year, and it came as no surprise when the French-Dutch doubles team of Durr and Betty Stove was top choice as doubles team of the year. The WTA Newcomer of the Year went to Sue Stap who after a year on the satellite tour qualified for the Virginia Slims and went on to gain the 14th spot on rankings. For the men, it was Arthur Ashe as top player, Brian Gottfried and Raul Ramirez as best doubles team and Vitas Gerulaitis as Newcomer of the Year. It was a gala evening for everyone involved with the players associations. But no one forgot the real reason that brought them all together.

The first thing to get straightened out was the difference in offensive terms, then it was to the practice field. sports I 1.1 By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Editor Charlie Kilter wants things right NEW YOKK (UPI) Charlie Huter is the kind of guy who does things only one way, the right way, and probably why people warm up to him in a hurry. Gradually, they do, though, and in time they even get to love him the same way our U.S. track and field athletes did after they went to the Republic of China with him four months ago.

Charlie Ruter is an AAU official, but hold that against him. He was managzr of the team that went over to China and every morning rain or shine, you could set your watch by it, good old Charlie would get up on his feet, walk to the center of the dining room and announce in that drill voice of his what time you had to make the bus, be at the track, eat your dinner and have your bags outside your room. At first ear-piercing announcements terrorized some of the athletes, especially the younger ones, but then they grew used to them and even looked forward to them. The kids called Charlie Ruter because he was always strictly business and everybody on the team knew if you ever got funny with him, he could clean your clock. also be the first to help you out.

Members of the team knew that because they had seen him do it so many times. When it came down to that, Charlie was color blind. Black or white made no difference to him. Nothing has changed much in four months. As assistant superintendent of transportation in Jefferson County for Board of Education, Charlie Ruter is trying to get the job done the only way he knows how, the right way.

It has been a little rougher for him than usual the past few days ever since a court order calling for school desegregation was implemented. Rioting broke out last Friday and 200 persons were hurt. Next day Gov. Julian Carroll of Kentucky called out the National Guard to help keep order. what Charlie Ruter is trying to do, too, working anywhere from 16 to 18 hours a day.
