King of Rome Is a victim of exhaustion. He's Just too tired to race and also was withdrawn, leaving To the Rescue, Robnrd, Gay Hal, Perfect Aim, Crimson Ruler, and Gallant Cord still In the race.

Venezuela Hopes For Repeat LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) Lexico and Set n' Go, a pair of three-year-olds from Venezuela hoping to duplicate Canonero's Kentucky Derby victory of three years ago, are ready for Saturday's 100th running of the Triple Crown classic, their trainers said Monday. Manuel Aspura, who trains Set n' Go for Antonio Jose Isturlz, and Maclnl Iriza who handles Lexico for Mrs. Vlncen- ta Baptista husband owned Canonero they were taking a long shot chance. Each, however, was certain his colt would make a good showing in the mile and a quarter race.

The distance, an unknown factor as far as the United States' starters are concerned, should be no probiem for the South American horses. Each has been tested over long routes In Caracas. "Set n' Go raced a mile and quarter early In March," Aspura said. "He was second against older horses and he gave 10 pounds to the winner." Canonero also had been tested at one and a quarter miles in South America prior to starting in the Kentucky Derby. None of the United States horses ever has raced farther than one and one eighth miles.

The latest invaders faced the same gruelling quarantine that taxed Canonero's strength when he arrived in this country. Like Canonero, they have thrown off the effects of a week's confinement In a stall and regained most of the flesh melted off by the ordeal. Trotter Is not happy with this arrangement, ordered by the State Racing Commission. "How can I tell a man he can't start his horse In the Derby If he thinks the horse has a chance?" Trotter asked. "What If I order one out and he goes on to win the Preak- Several certain Derby ers were given final workouts while the others merely walked around their barns or galloped slowly over the Churchill Downs strip.

The Flyers won the first two games of the series while playing at home and the Rangers evened it in the next two games In New York, Injured Flyer Satisfactory NEW YORK (UPI) Injured Philadelphia Flyers defense- man Barry Ashbee remained in satisfactory condition Monday and a club spokesman reported that he is now ale to see out of his right eye. Ashbee was hit just above the right eye by a shot off the stick of Dale Rolfe early In Sunday's overtime period of the Stanley Cup playoff between Philadelphia and the New York Rangers. The eye was hemorrhaging when Ashbee was brought to St. Clare's Hospital, but this now has stopped. Bandages have been placed over both eyes and Ashbee won't be permitted to move for a few days.

Another Flyer On Ailing List PHILADELPHIA (UPI) A recent Injury jinx struck at the Philadelphia Flyers again Monday when center Bill Clement suffered a ligament injury to his left knee during a practice session.

The series Is deadlocked at two games each. series against the Boston Bruins. The Hawks trail In the series, 3-2, and must win Tuesday night to keep the best-of-seven series alive.

A win for Boston would put the Bruins Into the cup finals against the winner of the Philadelphia-New York series. The Hawks, though beaten by the Bruins in the last two contests, believed their chance to win at home was good. They felt they have lost twice because of their own mistakes and because they have not played well. "Boston has played very well," Hawk coach Billy Reay said," and we could have played better In the last two games. Now we must play better.

We've had our chances and we haven't capitalized on them. They've had chances and made them good." The Hawks were handicapped somewhat In the last two games by a back ailment which struck star wing Dennis Hull in the second period of the fourth game. Hull was ineffective thereafter and had to sit out Sunday's game since he was barely able to walk. It was uncertain whether he could play Tuesday. Otherwise the Hawks will be at full strength, and rookie Darcy Rota probably will fill in again for Hull on the Pit Martin line, should Hull be unable to play.

GIVE US A CALL-WE WILL BE RIGHT THERE 234-2007 MEMBER OF THE BAY COUNTY MOTEL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION STATE OF FLORIDA BUREAU OF ELECTRONIC DEALER REGISTRATION NO. 2207. LONDON(UPI) Lord lanin, President of the International Olympic Committee, today announced new draft proposals to tighten up rules on amateurism. The Irish peer said the IOC wanted the new code of eligibility, which would replace the controversial Rule 26 definition of an amateur, to be put Into effect in time for the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. The proposals would go before the IOC at Its October annual meeting In Vienna where a two-thirds majority would make It law.

The draft proposals reaffirmed the banning of those picked for a sport other than that In which they earn a living. "A pro in any sport is not eligible for the Olympics," Lord Killanin said. Any prospective Olympic competitor who obtained material or financial gain by writing or broadcasting would also be ineligible. A major change in the proposed rule change is the introduction of compensation for athletes who would suffer financial loss when training for and competing in the Olympics and other international events. The proposed law added: "In no circumstances shall payment made under this provision exceed the sum which the competitor would have earned In the same periods.

"If the compensation Is not paid by the employer, It may be paid by the nati nal federations or the national Olympic committees at their discretion." Under the exist ng rule, compensation can only be paid during the period of the Olympics and for not exceeding 60 days. There Is no time-limit contained in the new proposals, which Lord Killanin said helped balance out the advantages enjoyed by those who are employed by the state. The IOC also plans to clamp down on advertising. No athlete would be allowed to carry advertisments on his person in international events. "There Is usually plenty of space to show advertising without the competitor carrying It and becoming, what my predecessor called, a sandwich man." Lord Killanin also said the proposed ban on this form of advertising met with a divided response from IOC members who fear that a total ban on advertising might cause a drop In sponsorship.

Marc Hodler, president of the International Ski Federation (FIS), said he did not "welcome" the proposal. "We rely heavily on sponsorship, but there are different ways of advertising and we shall have to find alternative methods. We may be able to find a compromise on what constitutes an international event. We will abide by any IOC ruling and hope our sponsors accept It." Lord Killanin said he would have further discussions with FIS and the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF), which was also concerned, as to the definition of. International competition In connection with advertising.

The IOC proposed to continue allowing sportsmen to appear in advertising photographs with the approval of their international or national federations but any benefits must pass to the governing bodies, Lord Killanin said. The draft also proposed that Olympic competitors should not be allowed to take part in world championship events which are open to amateurs and professionals. Allouette Owner Miffed MONTREAL (UPI) Montreal Alouettes owner Sam Berger, miffed over proposed federal government curbs on World Football League entry Into Canada, Monday offered to sell his franchise back to the Canadian Football League. Berger said the legislation, now before the House of Commons, already has touched off WFL raids on some of his costliest American imports. "Without this legislation we were assured by the WFL that they would respect our contracts," Berger said.

"We already have that understanding with the National Football League. "What has transpired in the last week or two is simply chaotic. We have a situation where some of our finest American players, whom we have wooed and signed at great expense, have been approached by the WFL." The Alouettes' top superstar, former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers, reportedly is considering a million dollar offer to join the WFL Portland Storm club. "If the legislation is passed, it is possible that American courts for various reasons might consider our contracts not binding. "In any event this situation would embroil us in litigation for months, if not years, and wouiti has already created-great uncertainty.

"I have yet to ascertain how Europe Pro League Planned Stays PARIS (UPI) A syndicate of American businessmen today announced the creation of a European-wide professional basketball league and claimed to have acquired Al Magulre and Richie Guerin as two of the coaches in the International Basketball Association (IBA), which they said will begin its first season next November. Magulre is the head coach at Marquette, and Guerin is a McGuire Denies Europe Tieup MILWAUKEE, Wis.

Maguire Is to direct a Spanish team, while Guerln's club would be located In France. One syndicate founder, John Coburn a French-based businessman, said the league would recruit mostly American players for a September player draft but would not raid National Basketball Association (NBA) or American Basketball Association (ABA) rosters because it would be "toocostly." Eight franchises in seven countries have been sold, and the organizers said they may sanction up to four more to form two divisions of four to six teams each. They declined to specify the cities, pending local announcements by franchise holders.

But they named the countries as. France, Spain, West Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland.

In Portland, Ron Mix, director of player personnel for the Storm of the WFL, said, "There is absolutely no truth to the assertion of Johnny Rodgers and his agent, Michael Troop, that the Portland franchise has made an offer for Rodgers' services. Troop is apparently attempting to use us falsely as a negotiation wedge and we are not going to be a party to it. "My association with the San Diego Chargers was a pie sant one and I would never contact any player to whom they hold the rights without their express permission." The proposed which has passed second reading, usually a sign a bill will be entry to Canada of any football league that is not basically Canadian and does not have most of its teams in Canada. "The raids against our players have already commenced and this will grow in intensity as the days and weeks progress," Berger said. "All of our 17 American players are suspect and the same goes for our coaches." Berger complained he was not consulted by the health minister.

"Even though I am the most likely to be seriously affected I was not consulted in any way," Berger said. "Here I am an owner of a club in one of Canada's largest cities and with perhaps some knowledge of the feelings and temper of this metropolis and I am not asked anything at all." "With great reluctance and after much seri us heart- searching I have come to the conclusion I want to sell the Alouettes franchise and I invite the CFL to convene a meeting to buy this franchise from me In the same manner as was done with the Toronto Argonauts." CINCINNATI (UPI) A federal court Judge Monday turned down a bid by the Cincinnati Bengals to extend a temporary restraining order that prohibited the new World Football League from signing any players under contract to the Bengals.
