1 July 14, 1972 Greenville Advocate 7 Perry Hurls 14 Innings For 15th Victory ARLINGTON. Tex. (UPD-If Gaylord Perry could pitch every game the Cleveland Indians would probably be leading Americn League east instead of being only a game out of the cellar. Perry picked, up his 15th win against 7 losses Friday night as the Tribe defeated the Texas Rangers 2-0 in 14 innings. Perry gave up nine hits and struck out nine in the 13 innnings he pitched.

Ted Farmer came on in the bottom of the 14th to get the save. The Indians took advantage of two errors by the Rangers in the 14th to win the game. With two out in the top of the 14th, Ranger third baseman Dave Nelson bobbled a grounder by Frank Duffy. Duffy then stole second and went to third on an error by second baseman Len Randle on a grounder hit by pinih-hitter Del Unser who went to the plate for Perry, Buddy Bell then singled home Duffy with the first run and John Brohamer singled in Unser with the second. For the first 11 innings the game was a pitching duel between Perry and Mike Paul, who was put in the starting rotation just last week.

Paul struck out 10, walked none and gave up only three hits in his 11 inning stint before he tired. He had faced the minimum number of batters through the seventh as the only man to reach base in that time was wiped out by a double play. Horacio Pina followed Paul and went one inning. Jim Panther came in and worked 1 2-3 innings and was the victim of the errors and took the loss. Cleveland's run broke a strng of 26 consecutive scoreless innings by the Indians.

Night, July 22 T.T. 7:00 R.T. 8:30 TODAY'S SPORTS PARADE By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP1)-Hair we go again A man charges out of the stands, interrupts a ball game and chides a young hitter for wearing his hair too long auring a Little League contest in Grafton, W.Va. The father of the boy is incensed when he discovers the man who did that to his son is the league president. son has been singled out, discriminated against and says the father.

The case has so many overtones it eventually reaches the attention of the State's Human Rights Commission. Football has its little episode also. John Ralston, taking over the Denver Broncos this year for the first time after coming out of Stanford, sees some of his players in a brief session and lets them know he expects them to get a shave and haircut before they report to Pomona, for regular workouts next month. His Hair is Short Ralston wears his hair short. He doesn't care if you wear yours down to your shoelacesso long as you don't play for his ball club.

Those on the side of long hair will ridicule Ralston's ruling the same way they did -Ed Khayat's last fall when the Philadelphia Eagles' coach made his players come clean, or reasonably so, anyway. Did you notice though, nobody was laughing at Khayat by the end of the season? Anyway, John Ralston never struck me as some kind of fanatic and he assures me he's not, about long hair or anything else, SO I asked him what prompted his shave-and-haircut edict. "Actually it wasn't anything like an edict," he said. "I didn't say we wouldn't have any moustaches. All I said in that connection is that a little moustache is all right and the players can wear their sideburns medium length, but I do expect them to get rid of the extra foliage.

This is one place I expect them to put the team above their own individuality." Okay, but what brought this whole thing about? we had a couple of fellows at our rookie camp, two in particular." Ralston said. How About Sidebaras? Did they have long sideburns? "They had a full beard." laughed Denver's new coach. "The whole works." Uh huh, then it would be safe to say Ralston was in full accord with Ed Khayat, and with what the Eagles' coach said and did last fall? couldn't help but admire said Ralston. "He might've felt there were a lot of areas on the team that need ighening up. If some of he players were getting careless in the area of their dress and appearance, maybe they were also getting careless in their football performance." John Ralston breaks down the whole business about long hair versus short hair this way: "I don't judge any boy who comes out for football by the length of his hair.

I want to know more about him as an individual. There was a time when you coached a team. Now you coach individuals. There was a time you coached a body. Now you coach a amateurs and professionals alike, ask a lot more questions today than they ever did.

This goes for football, basketball, ice hockey, baseball or whatever other sport you care to name. They ask questions about everything: Hair, dress, curfew, you name it. Talks About Bench Sparky Anderson, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds, was talking about his club's player representative the last time Cincy was here in New York. The Reds' player rep happens to be Johnny Bench, who knows Anderson has a deep personal and professional respect for him, but that doesn't keep Bench from asking Anderson pointed questions about certain rules he imposes. All he wants to know is why," Anderson says of His young superstar.

"'He doesn't beat around the corners. Like he wants to know why our players have to wear a tie and jacket on the plane and in the hotel lobby when they're in a group. All I can do is give him my reason, which is that a group of players looks more professional that way. "Now they have these new shirts with these real wide collars. To me the shirts look good, especially on these young kids.

With these shirts you don't wear a tie. That's fine when they come down to the lobby from their rooms. But now they're coming down as individuals, not as a group. That's different. "Like.

coming here to -New York from Philadelphia. We came over on a bus and the players wanted to know whether they had to wear a tie on the bus. I told them no. It's just common sense, that's all. If people merely use it, there's never any trouble at Ah there, Sparky Anderson, you have just said a mouthful.

There is still a faint hope that Fischer, the temperamental American, may change his mind and decide to play Sunday when the third game is scheduled. But even Fischer's own advisers express pessimism. BOBBY BENJAMIN Smallness Key To Coaching? Pint Sized Coach Wins Big COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI)The mind's eye's image of a pro football coach is one of height and breadth and just plain bulk, the kind of guy everyone looks up to. But Bobby Benjamin, who guided the Columbus Bucks to the Midwest Football League title in their debut last year, looks more like a gymnast than the football coach he is and he qualifies as the smallest guy on the field or the sidelines. At 5-foot-10 and 150 pounds, Benjamin is dwarfed by Bucks such as Jimmy Hayes, the 6-5, 320 pound player-coach, or Can-Am Trail Turns To Mid-Ohio MANSFIELD Never before in the seven year history of the Sports Car Club of America's Canadian American Challenge Cup series, richest road racing series in the world, has the ultimate winner been SO much in doubt.

A purse of $81,200 will be divided among the top 10 qualifiers and top 25 finishers, aS well as accessory money from Goodyear, Firestone, Champion, Bell Toptex and Valvoline which means a driver who qualifies on the pole, wins the race and uses the right products, could pick up $19,450 in a two hour race at Mid Ohio. The Buckeye Cup Can Am, organized by the SCCA'S Ohio Valley and Western Ohio Regions, will once again be for 80 laps or 192 miles around MidOhio's demanding 2.4-mile road course witle 15 turns per lap.

In the past two years, MidOhio has developed a reputation for foiling the hopes of lowodds contenders in favor of those with only outside chances of victory, Ohio can't be beaten by either the best car or the best driver, said track president Les Griebling, "it takes a working combination of both to win AUTO THEATRE TONITE 1st Show Dusk!

Yet Benjamin, who is preparing his team for the 1972 season, draws the respect of his players despite his size. "We're all out there to play football and win, and we have no problems," said the 29-yearold coach.

the owner of the film and televison rights and Lothar Sihmid, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) arbiter, concede to Fisher's demand that all cameras be removed from the hall Sunday, Fisher may stay away. American chess sources said it's unlikely that the 29-year-old challenger accepts the arbiter's and the match committee's decision to give the second game to Spassky, on default. Fischer stayed away Thursday and was dsqualified from the match when one hour of the playing time elapsed. He lodged an official protest but the match committee upheld the arbiter's decision to give Spassky the game point. It means that Fischer, who himself had predicted an easy victory over the 35-year-old Russian world champion, now finds himself two points down having played only one match.

Fischer told an Icelandic friend that he suspects a conspiracy against him and that he is no longer interested in the match. There were even reports in Reykjavik that the American may fly back to the United States over the weekend. haven't heard anything about that and I hope it's not true, said Father Lombardy.
