While OCS prevailed over New Paltz, 1-0 Coleman topped Kalisburgh, 4-2, and Rondout Pine Hush, 2-0, to leave a three-way tie for first place.

Frazier, 53, is a former major leaguer who played four big league seasons with the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles. Coincidentally, his appointment comes just three days after his better-known namesake was beaten by Muhammad Ali for the world heavyweight boxing championships.

Frazier had a 10-year minor league managerial career during which time he won five championships, the latest of which was the International League title at Tidewater this season. With the Mets, he replaces interim manager Roy McMillan, who piloted the cluh for 62 games after taking over for Yogi Herra, fired Aug. 7. was never any serious consideration of anyone other than said General Manager Joe McDonald. think it was particularly fitting for Frazier to get this job.

Frazier said he appreciated the chance to manage the Mets. got to get into the water to swim, he said. Frazier is the seventh man to manage the Mets, the last six of whom were in the Met organization at one time or another.

The only exception was their first manager, Casey Stengel, and he had served with all three other New York teams in the major leagues.

Owens signed a one-year contract Thursday evening after flying from Houston where he has been working out with the Rockets of the National Basketball Association.

The 6-foot-10 former South Carolina star is under contract to for Houston in the 1976-77 season but the Colonels were able to lure him away from the Rockets for the coining season after filing a suit in Houston to enjoin him from playing there this year, Owens, 25, was obtained from Baltimore Sept. 19 in a trade for veteran forward Dan lssel. The Colonels also received a reported $700,000 in the deal. "Actually, the combined salaries for Grant and Owens will not be as much as we paid a club spokesman said. He also said Grant was acquired for than 5 per cent tor what we received in cash for lssel, plus a third round future draft choice."

And not necessarily because of any so-called pitchers, either. An (Kid combination of television and the sun could cause the Saturday and Sunday games here between the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates to be close, low-scoring affairs. With a deep bow to television schedule-makers, baseball officials are starting the games at 4 p.m. (EDT). And although that lucky sun care about the likes of TV and baseball and just keeps on, from 4 p.m.

Two years ago the playoff games began at 4 p.m. here and the loaded with sluggers a grand total of two runs. So, Reds manager Sparky Anderson has had his team practicing from 4 p.m.

to 6 p.m. all week long, when the Pirates come in for their only workout, Anderson also reserved the field for 4 p.m. The Pirates had to settle for 1 to 3:30 p.m. No matter what the weather, the Reds are happy to be playing some important games after whiling away nearly a month following their re- cordsetting wrapup of the National League Western division. Cincinnati clinched the title Sept.

Mainly because of that great regular season mark, Nevada oddsmakers have made the Reds a 3-2 favorite to win the playoffs. be worried about losing our momentum if we'd just gone through the motions the last says Anderson. had a little lull at first, but then the guys went back to grinding. Now.

Don Gullett, with a nifty 15-4 record despite missing two months because of a broken thumb, will oppose Jerry Reuss, who had his best season ever at 18-11. Both are lefthanders, as are starters Fred Norman and Jim Hooker because Anderson and veteran Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh fear each left-handed hitters. Although the Reds have come up with powerhouse teams most of the six years been here, the sprite. 41-year-old manager proclaims the 1975 version as the best ever.

This will be the third time in six years Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have met in the playoffs. The Reds won in both 1970 and 1972, although they lost the World Series both years. The playoffs have created a lot of excitement here, with Reds officials claiming they could have sold a halt-million tickets for the two games at Riverfront Stadium. re selling a lot of ing only reports a team official.

That would be the perfect way to determine it," Johnson said Thursday.

"In a short series you get to see the extra starter or the entire bench very job, however, will be to win the short series that begins Saturday afternoon at Hen way Park. The Red Sox will open with righthander Luis Tiant against Oakland lefty Ken Holtzman. In another right vs. left duel Sunday, Reggie Cleveland is scheduled to face Vida Blue.

Chamberlain, who has not played in two years, sat out his option year with the Lakers. He later coached the San Diego Conquistadors in the American Basketball Association. Under NBA rules, a player must play out his option year rather than sit it out as Chamberlain did. It appears, however, that Laker owner Jack Kent Cooke is not interested in having Chamberlain play for the Lakers and the Lakers have warned Chamberlain to stav away from their camp or risk being "embarassed." The Lakers continue to own the rights to Chamberlain under the heavily criticized NBA option clause but have refuse to pay him his $450,000 salary that was in effect under the contract.

O'Brien ruled late Thursday that Chamberlain is still under contract to the Lakers. If Chamberlain decides to report to the Lakers camp, continued, the Lakers must live up to their end of the contract. If the two sides failed to reach an agreement among themselves, O'Brien indicated he would step in and review the situation. The New York Knicks have shown interest in signing Chamberlain but have been unable to reach an agreement with Los Angeles. The Knicks have offered to buy the rights to Chambelain but Cooke refuses to accept cash, wanting draft choices and players instead.

Los Angeles obtained center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from the Milwaukee Bucks in an offseason deal, making Chamberlain expendable. it home. The Tigers had 23 shots for the game. is a good emphasized Chaisson. tied Arlington l-l and I thought Arlington was the best team in the league.

Dave Jordan scored for Kingston with an assist from Russ Shultis. Spackenkill had taken a 1-0 lead on Dennis goal. KHS is 1-0-3.

Holtzman gets knocked out early, I might even bring him back in the second game.

You see different this year without Catfish (Hunter)." Things also will be different if clutch-hitting Joe Rudi play. The Oakland first baseman reinjured his thumb last Sunday and has been unable to practice all week. Rudi made the trip to Boston but was considered doubtful for the game. If Rudi is sidelined, Gene Tenace will move from catcher to first base and Ray Fosse will catch. Boston has had to make a similar adjustment because of the loss of rtKikie left fielder Jim Rice.

Carl Yastrzemski, a 15-year veteran who switched from outfield to first base a couple of years ago, will start in left field. Cecil Cooper, the regular designated hitter, will play first and Juan Beniquez will be the DH as long as the go with lefthanded pitchers. With Cooper in the lineup, the Red Sox will send four lefthanded batters against the Oakland southpaws in as park with a short leftfield fence. I think an advantage for a lefty to hit against lefthanders in this said Cooper, who batted .393 against Oakland this season. got a lot of hits going to left (against southpaws) this year.
