be the same That was three years ago and it has been that long since seen a game outdoors, so on my vacation I took a holiday and visited the three major league parks in California, all of them also comparatively new. I was right. Baseball the same indoors. much better. The first disillusionment came at the gate to the home park when an attendant collected a dollar from me for the privilege of parking on the heavenly lot.

to Anaheim he said, apparently noting the Texas license plates. 1 gave him a surly nod, thinking that Moshc Dayan would be welcome at Cairo parking lot for that price. I guess what makes the West golden, though. The park is a beautiful one, with 43,204 seats, at least 35,000 of which were at a lower altitude than the one I paid $2.50 for. I was so high up I could hardly tell the difference between the Playboy Club bunnies and the local disc jockeys, who were playing a softball game to start the festivities.

The scoreboard W'as behind the left field fence, forming the crossbar of a huge whose apex was crowned with a halo. There were no scores of other games available at all times, although they were flashed briefly from time to time during the game. There was no clock and the averages given for the starting players were a week old. At the seventh inning and other exciting times, lights would run up and down the diagonals of the like those at a drive-in hamburger stand. Tans Display Skills AT OTHER, times, the fans amused themselves by stacking beer cups.

The tallest stack the night I was there seemed to be about 12 feet high. And there was an organ. Remember that bush league Item? The organist played introductions for each batter. For southpaw hurler Clyde Wright, a native of Jefferson City, he played a few bars of Ileh, heh. ('lever, huh? And for Jimmy Hall he ripped off a snatch of of the Mountain (Nudge) Get it? Wow.

In Dodger Stadium, the fans made paper airplanes for amusement and there, too, they seemed highly skilled in their pastime. There the management was so grateful to visitors they left such notices as to Little Leaguers from Orange on the board for an entire inning. The Chavez Ravine edifice was by far the most beautiful of the three, located on a hillside as it is and landscaped like crazy. Access and exit were simple, despite the location in a narrow gulch. Candlestick Park Secluded The same can hardly lie said for Candlestick Park, where fans read magazines and newspapers in the parking lot after the game rather than plunge into the homeward-bound traffic.

There are only two entrances onto the freeway, one for northbound lanes and one for southbound, and it takes a while to get home after a game. It took me 90 minutes to drive four miles to my motel. Then of course, the cold and the wind. Pitchers knocked out of the box in Candlestick Park. blown out.

The Giant pitchers all have a pitch they call a duster. Not a brushback, a duster. a fast ball they save for those times the wind has kicked dust into the eyes of batter, catcher and umpire. kinda hard on the catcher, but the ump always calls it a strike and the batter never sees it. The Giants, Dodgers and Angels may tie able to beat the Astros on the field, but man, when they do it, 1 want to see it done in the Domed Stadium, with me sunken deep into a plush armchair, munching one of those delicious sandwiches.

As far as stadiums go, there is only one in the major leagues and in Houston. HOUSTON (AP) A request by former Heavyweight Champion Cassius Clay to be allowed to fight in Tokyo was delayed in federal court Friday until a probe of the possible anti-American activities could be made. The hearing before U.S. Dist. Judge Joe Ingraham centered on activities since he was convicted for refusing the draft oath for military service.

It could lead to loss of bond, loss of his passport and to quick imprisonment. Judge Ingraham sentenced Clay June 20 to five years in prison and a $10,000 maximum possible penalties for refusing to take the draft oath as ordered. U.S. Atty.

The Heisman Trophy winner will quarterback the East wbth help from Bob Griese, and the West may be hard- pressed to stop the expected passing bombardment. The West will be directed by Jon Brittenum, one of three Arkansas players on the starting line-up named by Coach Bob Devaney of Nebraska. The game, which starts at 8:30 p.m., CDT, will be nationally televised by ABC-TV, with Atlanta blacked out. The late start has hurt ticket; sales, and the crowd is expected to fall far short of the 38,000 that turned out a year ago, first time the game played in Atlanta after five years in Buffalo, N.Y. Rain has cooled Atlanta the last two days and temperatures under clearing skies are expected to be in tire 60s or 70s at game time, about 20 degrees below' the readings last year.

Both teams have won three of thp previous games but passing, the running of famed Floyd Little of Syracuse and Nick Eddy of Notre Dame and the defensive play of linebackers Jim Lynch of Notre Dame, George Webster of Michigan State and Paul Naumoff of Tennessee have made the East a seven-point favorite. East Coach Tom Cahill of Army, the 1966 college coach of the year, goes into the game full of praise for his aggressive attitude during a week of drills, boys came to play, and I think it will be a great- said Cahill, who added that he used to working with so many talented players. Despite the passing ability ofi Spurrier and Griese, Cahill indicated he would call plenty of running plays to take advantage: of the power and elusiveness of Little and Eddy, JON BRITTENUM ready to scramble Devaney said that the EasF deserves its tag as the favorite) because it has more players, but he said that in the last couple of workouts the West squad to know each oth-1 er, and started to look pretty Brittenum, the scampering passer who holds most of the Arkansas aerial records, will be backed up by Houston quarterback Bo Burris, Running chores for the West will Ire handled by halfback Mel Farr of UCLA and fullbacks Harry Wilson of Nebraska and Ray McDonald, the 240-pound blockbuster from Idaho. passes will be aimed at flanker Rod Sherman of Southern Cal and ends Dave Williams of Washington and Tom Beer of Houston. Main target of the passing attack will be Michigan State end Gene Washington, rangy 215-pounder who has been a practice standout all week.

defensive backs will have to play their best for us to hold Devaney said. I think our quarterbacks will surprise some, people with their passing, although they get ip headlines that Spurrier and Griese got last Blitzing by linebackers has been banned in the game, and the new punt return rule which requires interior linemen to remain at the line until the ball is kicked be used because the players are not fa-i miliar with it.
