I guess he is at that It shouldn't make that much difference My uncle (Clark Griffith) named Bucky Harris manager when he was only 27 in 1924 and he turned out to be the 'Boy Wonder' He won the world championship that year I remember I was the batboy" ss conference so epted Youngest majors? I guess shouldn't make rence My uncle named Bucky when he was and he turned out Wonder' He won Lmplonship that bet I was the He sees in this slender black-haired young man who sometimes looks like a loose-leaf Rudolph Valentino a good quick mind He also sees an excellent personality He sees in gregarious Frank Qui lici a man almost as well known in Minnesota as Hubert Humphrey a natural salesman for the ball club Calvin Griffith sees an individual who can possibly stimulate the Twins Qui lici one of his coaches was in To most people the congenial always happy 33- year-old Qui lici is the Twins' court jester and Good Humor Man because every time you run into him he is full of fun and full of laughs If you need a favor any kind of favor you don't go to The Godfather you go see Frank if you want to hear the latest funny story and you want to hear it told right you go see Frank But Calvin Griffith sees a lot of other things in Frank Quilici his one-time back-up second baseman NEW YORK (UPI) Naturally the first thing Frank Quilici did was call his wife "Hon I can't say anything other than I'm sitting here in Calvin Griffith's office and he just offered me the manager's job with the Minnesota Twins" Frank Quilici got no response His wife Penny had dropped the phone Eventually she picked it up again "I don't believe it" she said By now she does So does everyone else because Calvin Griffith the President of the Twins called a news conference in Bloomington Minn Thursday afternoon and announced Bill Rigney was out and Frank NEW YORP Naturally the fil Quilici did was "Hon I can't other than I'm Calvin Griffith's just offered me job with the Min Frank Quilici His wife Penr the phone Eventually sh again "I don't belie By now she everyone else 1 Griffith the Pi Twins called a in Bloomington sday afternoon Bill Rigney was be in contention right now" In any case Griffith made up his mind to change managers as he drove to work on the freeway Thursday morning A man can do a lot of thinking driving to work and Calvin Griffith was thinking "I went back to 1965 for one thing" he says "Remember when Bernie Allen got hurt? Quilici came up to us from Denver and was one of the greatest inspirational forces I've ever seen in all the years I've been in baseball He inspired everybody He even inspired Versa Iles to become MVP that year and in the World Series he hit Koufax like he owned him" last two nights thinking 'about the club" said Griffith "Watching our games 1 felt there was something we lacked 1 realize Bill Rigney had taken over a situation that wasn't too healthy in 1970 after we let go Billy Martin But this has been one of those years though when everything has gone wrong "We won the Grapefruit League 'title' in Florida with the best record Then after the season started we were 16 and 34 The irony of the whole thing is Tony Oliva He had a knee operation yesterday and the doctors took some particles of calcium out If he had been healthy we most likely would Having made up his mind to make the change Thursday which was an off day for the Twins he now had to implement his thinking The players had come to the ballpark for a workout but that was called off because of rain Griffith first called Rigney into his office and told him he was making a change Rigney has been managing ball clubs 18 years but he took this firing hard Griffith informed Rigney he intended to talk with Quilici about the Job and Rigney said "You're the boss" Quilici was summoned to Griffith's office and he was still wearing his uniform when he arrived "Would you like to become a manager?" Griffith asked him Quilici thought Griffith was talking about one of the Twins' minor league clubs and he replied that managing had always been one of his ambitions and he felt he could do the job after learning a few things "Now Frank" said Griffith "I'm not talking about any minor league job I'm talking about the Twins" Qui lici looked dumbfounded "Actually he never said 'yes' the Twins' owner reveals "but later on we shook Frank Quilici promises he won't turn into an entirely different individual now that he's a big league manager "The only thing I don't want to lose" he says "is my personality" It would be a shame if he did ei promises he to an entirely hdual now that ue manager Ling I don't want Lys "is my per-shame if he did All this crystallized in Calvin Griffith's mind as he drove the 22 miles from his home in Wayzanta Minn to the ballpark in Bloomington Thursday morning "I hadn't been sleeping the iiF cl 0 410 ft LS 0 1 141119114140 1 0 5 fl' 04 AO 4 I -N Ito 1 4 91t

an argument their tempers and a run Friday night Fortunately for their mental well-being they won the game Ben Ogilvie the center of a violent ninth-inning argument when an apparent run he scored was disallowed because he ran out of the baseline quickly redeemed himself in the 10th inning by cracking a game-winning two-run homer to lift the Sox to a 5-3 victory over the California Angels The win was the seventh straight for Boston and lifted the Red Sox to the 500 level for the first time since April 22 The two clubs meet again tonight with Ray Culp 5-7 hurling for Boston against Lloyd Allen 2-5 Boston was leading 3-2 in the ninth inning with Ogilvie at third when pitcher Luis Tiant hit a ground ball to Angel shortstop Leo Cardenas Cardenas threw home but Ogilvie swerved to the left and slid around Jeff Torborg's tag California Manager Del Rice raced out to challenge plate umpire Hank Morganweck who was adamant at first but then asked third-base umpire Marty Springstead for a ruling Springstead agreed with the Angels that Oglivie ran outside the baseline so Morganweck took the Boston run away Now it was Boston Manager Eddie Kasko's turn to explode from the dugout and he had to be restrained by his teammates and coaches as he charged the embattled Morganweck Kasko ranted and raved to no avail He then announced that he was playing the game under protest To make matters worse the Red Sox went on to load the bases in the ninth but Doug Griffin lined out and they failed to score Ken Berry whose eight-inning homer got the 'Angels close then laid down a perfect two-out bunt single

Spassky chess match may seem to be a blazing battle but pale beside the tales of bloodthirsty games in Medieval Iceland Chess boards in the 12th and 13th centuries were often the center of treachery revenge intrigue and murder according to sagas of the time When a certain King Louis lost a chess game to Rognvald he stood up in a fury shoved his chessmen into a bag and smashed his opponent in the face with it leaving him a bloody mess "Take that!" exclaimed the king Rognvald rode off in a panic But his brother stayed to split the king's skull open These stories are sagas from Willard Fiske's "Chess in Iceland and in Icelandic Literature" pub lished in 1905 It is said that American chess champion Bobby Fischer has gotten the highest stakes in history of chess for his series beginning Tuesday in Reykjavik with Boris Spassky the world champion Even though thousands of dollars of prize money are on the line today's championship prize is chicken feel Rognvald played King Louis for his head A woman was the prize in one knightly saga A king put up his horse falcon and sword for a maiden and engaged in a game winner take all The king lost He left the game on foot unarmed and unloved

PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia Phi 'lies were knocking around the locker room on Independence Day waiting to engage the San Francisco Giants when a reporter walked in and asked them what they thought of President Nixon's all-star baseball team The Phil lies like everyone else had read Nixon's personal album of stars which was obtained by the Associated Press and published in many Sunday newspapers The president had prepared the list in response to a newsman who had asked him to name his favorite baseball players Sportswriter Stan Hochman of the Philadelphia Daily News got the idea that if presidents can choose the greatest baseball players baseball players can name the all-star presi dents So Hochman raised the issue with the Once they were the Fourth of compile an on-the-spot pantheon of presidential standouts the Phil lies replied with the spirit of the day and the enthusiasm of athletes "Who's on the $1000 bill? asked Dick Selma a pitcher "George Washington" was Jim Nash's choice "He's the only guy whose picture my wife allows in my billfold" "Zachary Taylor" snickered second baseman Denny Doyle "Why? Because nobody else probably thought of him" "I've been in the game 15 years and nobody's ever asked me that question" mused Deron Johnson "I've got to go with Nixon He's getting us out of Vietnam" Catcher Mike Ryan also chose the current starter Ryan ex plained: "I Just pick him because he's always being second-guessed just like a catcher" "Harry Truman" said Tommy Hutton utility fielder "He'd be a scrapper He'd do anything to win Besides anybody who can live as long as he had has got to be tough" Bill Robinson and Barry Lersch both chose Abraham Lincoln Robinson who is black associated Lincoln with John Kennedy he said both had helped blacks make strides toward equality Lersch admired Lincoln "because he had long hair and a beard" "JFK" said reflective shortstop Larry Bowa "Because while you hear a lot of people saying bad things about Nixon I've never heard anyone say bad things about MK I think he had the respect of all the people" Monrovia New Car Dealers took another step
