4D rr.i.-OT tridav, aug. 10. 1979 class JL JUL Lv wir JSL Manager Vitlo building a pro Softball dynasty sars, the amateur team named after Hitch's Little Caesar pizza chain. Two weeks later, Hitch changed his mind, bought a pro team, christened it the Detroit Caesars and put Vitto in charge. "I was a little skeptical at first, I didn't know if the people around here were ready for professional slow-pitch," Vitto says.

Vitto scouted Detroit's amateur teams and found Bert Smith, a steady outfielder who is hitting .341 this year. He coerced Ron Ford (the team's leading slugger at and Mike Nye (.506) from Florida and helped Ford- land a job in the Caesars pizza organization. THEN HE PULLED his master stroke. With the help of Hitch and some big bucks, he convinced former Tiger greats Jim Northrup and Norm Cash to sign. "All of a sudden I have a team of the best players from all the teams in Detroit and in the country.

and I had to make them into a team," Vitto says, Vitto quickly got over his complex about managing former baseball stars like Northrup and Cash. "When I put somebody in to pinch-hit for them," Vitto says, "they respected it as a baseball move: They could have been intimidating and demanded to play every inning." Instead, Vitto says, the big-name players came down to the rest of the team's level and in turn the team moved up to their level. By BETH TUSCHAK Free Press Sports Writer Mickey Stanley praises his enthusiam, and calls him "a first-class, winning manager." Jim Northrup says he's "an excellent manager of an excellent team." To Chuck Drewicz, one of his players, he's simply best in the business." The object of this adulation is a 37-year-old East Detroit barber, Gary Vitto. When he isn't clipping hair at his family's four-chair tonsorial emporium, Vitto is managing Detroit's winningest professional sports team, the Detroit Caesars. In three years, the Caesars have two professional slow-pitch softball world championships to their credit and are the heavy favorite to pick up a third in September.

The team currently is first in the American Professional Slo-Pitch League's Midwest Division with a 39-29 record. "He's always chirpping at somebody," Stanley says of Vitto. "I look up to him." VITTO IS THE first to admit that he, in turn, looks up to the men he manages. He strives to treat them with respect, professionalism and friendship a mixture that has a history of producing winning managers. "To me it's tremendous to manage former Tiger players like Jim Northrup, Mickey Stanley and Jim Price," says Vitto.

"I'm excited to be associated with players like them. They were my idols, not having made the majors myself. At first it was hard to imagine managing them." Vitto tried for a major league baseball career back in 1960, when he spent a month at the Tigers' training camp. "I was a little kid who weighed 140 pounds," Vitto recalls. "I stole 13 bases and had a .500 batting average when they told me to go home and grow up." Instead of going home, Vitto enrolled at Ferris State College to study physical education.

He wound up spending most of his time on the baseball diamond. After an arm injury, he quit college, returned home and entered barber school. Ten years ago he started playing softball. "I think softball originally got my interest and that of most of the guys on the team because we were a bunch of frustrated baseball players who couldn't quite crack the big leagues," Vitto says. SO HE SET OUT to crack the amateur leagues.

Frustrated that the Little Caesars were the unbeatable New York Yankees of slow-pitch softball, Vitto scoured the metropolitan area for Detroit's finest and put together a team sponsored by the Dino's pizza chain. "Amateur slow-pitch was almost boring at that time because there was no competition," Vitto says. "It was a matter of putting together a team that could compete with, and beat, the Little Caesars." Vitto led Dino's to two U.S. Slo-Pitch Softball Association world championships before becoming manager of a Uni-Royal team. Then, in early 1977, he got a call from Mike Hitch, who asked Vitto to manage the Little Cae- a 1 Free Press Photo by AL KAMUDA (right), who manages a team molded of the best slow-pitch and former Tiger stars such as Mickey Stanley.

stabs help Tigers, 3-2 A 1' 1 Mil) ALTHOUGH Northrup was out of the orange and white uniform at the beginning of this season, and Cash suffered a stroke, Vitto and the Caesars were determined to continue as world champions. Midway through the 1979 season, the Caesars resigned Northrup and added his World Series pals Stanley and Jim Price. Northrup describes why Vitto is a winner: "First of all he's got the talent assembled. But he also has great baseball sense. He makes the moves needed to bring in a contender.

He's not afraid to pinch-hit if a guy's in a slump. "He gets the highest potential out of his players," adds-pitcher Drewicz. "He handles the personalities well the moodies and the crazies and the ones who like to joke around. He knows which guys he has to push and which you have to pat on the back. "He's no tyrant, but at times he'll flare up; when he thinks you're cheating weren't doing much as Champ Summers, Lance Parrish and Brookens each took called third strikes in their portion of the second.

Jones led off the Tigers' third with a double into the leftfield corner. He scored the Tigers' first run when Whitaker punched a single to left. Summers tied the score an inning later when he led off with a blast that hit the facing of the third deck in rightf ield. "THAT ONE did feel good, I'll tell you," said Summers with a smile. "I hit that right on the screws.

A little lower and I might have hit it out of the park. "I hit one on the facing in right-center, but I didn't hit it any harder than I hit this one." Trammell and Steve Kemp combined to give the Tigers the lead in the fifth.

"I wasn't concentrating early, but I got more aggressive.

"In the sixth, I got the ball up to Zisk and he hit it. Then I thought I had a double play ball but the ball bounced over (Tom) Brookens' head. But I'll take it, whether I deserve it or not." ANDERSON certainly thought Chris deserved it. "I like that boy," Anderson said, beaming. "It was a shame he gave up those three hits; they were all bloopers, really." Rivers drew a walk from Chris to begin the game and promptly stole second.

He came home when Zisk singled to right with two out.

He wheeled and threw the ball into the Texas bullpen down the rightfield line while Whitaker scampered all the way to third.

But the Tigers were unable to get Whitaker in from third. Trammell flied to shallow center, Kemp took a called third strike and Thompson bounced out to second. As it turned out, the Tigers didn't need any insurance runs, just a little luck.
