Finley today was pondering an appeal of Commissioner Bowie Kuhn's latest and most stinging $7,000 fine of baseball's "bad boy" for the commotion he created while his Oakland A's were winning the World Series. Finley said before the disciplinary action was formally announced, that he would appeal $6,000 of the fines to baseball's seven-man Executive Council.

But he balked Monday after Kuhn issued the fine, which included $5,000 for Finley's firing of second baseman Mike Andrews following the second game of the series. "I don't know what I'm going to do." he said by telephone from his farm in LaPorte, Ind. He said only, that "regardless of hell or high water, fines or no fines." the two-time defending champion A's will be back in the World Series "once more in 75." The fine was the third Kuhn has slapped on Finley since he took the commissioner's office. Ankle Injury Might Ruin Otto's Season DALLAS Stowe, the best receiver for the Dallas Cowboys this season, has a broken ankle and may be out for the rest of the regular season. Doctors said Stowe will be out at least from four to six weeks and there are only seven more games left in the regular season.

Stowe leads the team in touchdowns with six and has caught 23 passes for 389 yards. It appeared he was going to have the best year ever for a Cowboy wide receiver since Lance Rentzel caught 43 passes in 1969. Stowe was injured Sunday in the Cowboys' 30-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys' tight end situation was also hurt during the game as starter Billy Joe DuPree sprained his right knee and Jean Fugett sprained a hamstring. Billy Truax, the third right end, has missed most of the season because of an ulcer problem.

Fugett will probably start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. "At midseason things go up and down for you." Cowboys Coach Tom Landry said Monday. "At this particular time you've got to win the close ones. We haven't been. "We haven't become the team we could be, as I've said before.

I don't know whether we will be this season or not. But we've got a chance as long as we stay close to The Cowboys (4-3) play Cincinnati Sunday in the first meeting ever between the two clubs and Washington (5-2) plays Pittsburgh Monday night. Noll Needs Quarterback PITTSBURGH (UPI)-With Terry Bradshaw out four to six weeks with a partial separation of the right shoulder and Terry Hanratty nursing aching ribs, Pittsburgh Steelers Coach Chuck Noll is contemplating a quarterback problem. "Right now we have no plans to obtain another quarterback," Noll said Monday at his weekly luncheon. "We won't have any drills until Wednesday and we hope Hanratty won't have any spasms.

He's a gutsy player and we awarded game balls to him and Mike Wagner who made three interceptions." Noll was pressed about other quarterback possibilities. "How about Bob Walden?" someone said referring somewhat facetiously to the Pittsburgh punter, who had some quarterback experience in college. Noll shook his head. "You mentioned John Dockery after the game Sunday." Noll was prompted. "Dockery will not practice in that position this week," Noll said of his corner back.

"JoeGilliam?" "Gilliam is anxious and looking for an opportunity to play," Noll said of his third string quarterback, who has recovered from a leg injury. "He has been learning well." Bradshaw was hurt in the last Booster Club Meeting Today At High School Harvester Booster Club will meet in the high school cafeteria at 7:30 p.m today, according to H.L. Weatterly, club president. The Tascosa-Pampa game film will be shown and a scouting report of Borger will given by head coach Buddy Williams Memberships are still being accepted says Weatherly. five minutes of the first half Sunday when the Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 2013 in what Noll described as "a hell of a hard-hitting game." Hanratty went in and threw a 51-yard scoring bomb to Ron Shanklin with 58 seconds remaining in the half to provide what turned out to be the victory margin.

Hanratty was blitzed by linebacker Bill Bergey in the third period, but despite agonizing rib injuries he stayed in the game. "It was a clean shot," Hanratty said. When it was proposed to Noll that perhaps Babe Parilli, the team's quarterback coach, could fill the void, Noll did not take the remark lightly. "If I could, I would." Noll replied. "But he is not eligible unless he had been on the active squad during the preseason.

Then he would have been placed on there's no doubt some other team would claim him as an emergency quarterback." The mention of Parilli was intriguing. Parilli is 43. three years younger than George Blanda who still sees action with the Oakland Raiders, and three years older than Johnny Unitas, acquired this year by the San Diego Chargers. Parilli has a remarkable record as a pro quarterback. He played 16 years with six clubs in three leagues.

Game Cancelled The junior varsity game between Pampa and Perryton scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday in Pampa has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled, according to athletic director KdLehnick. Pampa's Shockers will, however, travel to Amarilloand play Tascosa at 4 p.m. Thursday. O.J.

Hits Plateau ORCHARD PARK. (UPI) 0 J. Simpson has a great idea for an encore another 1.000 yards Simpson did it all Monday night, reaching the 1.000-yard rushing mark, scoring two touchdowns and leading a fired- up Buffalo Bills team to a 2314 win over the Kansas City Chiefs before a national television audience and 76.071 cheering fans at Rich Stadium. "We'll go for another 1.000 yards in the next seven games." Simpson said happily. "The guys were talking that when Monday night football comes, they wanted me to have l.OW yards." Simpson carried a National Football League single game record 39 times, picking up 157 yards to give him 1.025 for the Hay den Gets Last Laugh Kuhn ordered the A's owner to pay $5.000 for asking that Andrews be put on the disabled list after the Oakland second baseman made two crucial errors in the 12-inning second game won by the New York Mets.

Kuhn also fined Finley $1.000 for a public announcement made by Oakland during the opening game regarding the Mets' refusal to allow the A's to add a 25th player to their roster and $1.000 because Finley asked that the lights be turned on as the A's came to bat in the ninth inning of the second game. "1 have no objections to being fined about the lights." Finley said, adding that he was unaware of a rule permitting the lights to be turned on only at the beginning of an inning. However, he contested the commission's action in the much publicized Andrews incident, in which the A's second baseman left the team for one game after signing a statement saying he was disabled. "I was fined only because I requested permission to put Andrews on the disabled list," Finley said. "The doctor said Andrews was disabled and the commissioner fined me for asking for a replacement." When Kuhn refused to declare Andrews disabled, he returned to the team but only made one pinch-hitting appearance during the rest of the series.

He said Finley "embarrassed" him into saying he was disabled. Kuhn said that $1.000 was the normal maximum for a World Series fine but he belived the Andrews incident was beyond the World Series outlines. Kuhn fined Finley $5,000 once giving bonuses to Gene Tenace and Joe Rudi for their play in the 1972 World he also fined him $500 after intervening and settling Finley's contract stalemate with pitcher Vida Blue.

DALLAS HIM i Somewhere, deep inside Hayden Fry. there must be a desire to say "I told you so But. of course, he won't What he says, instead, is this. "I always knew I was doing a good job at SMU I pull for those kids there because I helped recruit so many of them and most of the coaches there were on my staff at one time I wish them well. "But I would be telling a story if 1 didn't say I was happier at North Texas State There is no pressure on me and it is paying off.

"I inherited a bunch of kids that had been kicked around and were on the bottom. Christmas comes early for them every time they win. It is one of my most satisfying years." Fry was fired at Southern Methodist last season (after an 11-year career) just before his club won its seventh game of the season to close out with a 74 record He voiced some bitterness following his firing and one of his sons who was enrolled at SMU refused to take his final exams there because of what happened to his father A few months later, however, Fry surprisingly went 40 miles north to Denton and took the head coaching job at North Texas, a club which had won only one game in 1972. After a pair of one-sided loses to Texas-Arlington and Memphis Slate. Fry's team has won four games and tied one.

The Kngles lead the Missouri Valley Conference in the past 19 quarters the team's defense has given up only 20 points. "When I came to Denton a lot of the people in town said 'well, there's old Hayden He's one of those big coaches from the Southwest Conference He is just going to come up here and sit it out a "But I had two years on my contract I could have gone down to the lake and fished for two years. When I went to Denton I told them thi is the last coaching job I'm going to have win, lose or draw. I'm going to stick it out in Denton. "Now they are beginning to believe me." North Texas has been winning almost strictly with defense and an occasional big play on offense.

am. season as the Bills stuck to their ground game, picking up 246 yards compared with 37 fof the Chiefs on the ground The yardage put Simpson ahead of Jim Brown's record pace of 1.8M yards in a season "I didn't realize I carried that much because I wasn't getting tired." Simpson said "I was getting cramps in my legs. Our running game will get better as (Jot i Ferguson matures The Bills got off to a 14-0 lead early in the first quarter, the first touchdown set up after linebacker Jim Cheyunski recovered a Len Dnwson fumble on the Chiefs' 15 Simpson took the ball over from the one at the 2 33 mark. Cheyunski followed by intercepting a Dawson pass at the Kansas City 35 and returning it to the four Simpson again went over from four yards out at 3:42 The Chiefs countered when Pete Beathard, who came in at quarterback when Dawson suffered an ankle injury, connected with Wendell Hayes on a 27- yard screen pass play to up Hayes'one-yard TD run. John Leypoldt kicked third quarter field goals of 31, 17 and eight yards for the Bills and the Chiefs got their final score just two seconds into the final quarter on a two-yard touchdown plunge by Beathard.

Chiefs Coach Hank Stram said he thought the reason Simpson was having so much success this season was because of his supporting cast always been a great back Stram said. "And he's got a great supporting cast That's the difference. You can't play a game when you gear your defense on one man. There are loo many other men on the squad that can huft you." The Bills figured this was the game which would ultimately decide which team will get the wild card playoff berth as the best second place team in the American Football Conference as any visitor to their boisterous lockerroom could attest. There was much backslapping, yelling and horseplay in the Bills' quarters as many of the players talked about making the playoffs and, as Simpson put it.

"we're halfway Ferguson, the rookie quarterback who says he's gaining more confidence with every game he plays, also said he thought the Bills were playoff- bound but wanted to do most of his talking about Simpson. "He's the smoothest handoff I've ever had in my life." Ferguson said. "With his ability and if the offensive line keeps blocking for him, he can get 2,000 yards. "When he got close to the 1,000 mark, the linemen were saying, 'let's block for Ferguson added. "When he got the 1,000, they said, 'let's get him some I Uvely't Bil Nike.
