Richards Hires
His Pal Luman
By JOE GERGEN
UPI Sports Writer
ST. LOUIS (UPD—Wherever
Paul Richards goes, Luman
Harris is sure to follow.
Thus, when “Lum” stood
alongside Richards, now the
vice president and general
manager of the Atlanta Braves,
Friday during a news confer
ence at a local hotel and heard
himself appointed the new
manager of the team, it merely
followed a pattern that has
existed since 1961.
Harris, who previously served
as field manager at Baltimore
and Houston under Richards,
was given a one-year contract
at an estimated $35,000.
Acted Surprised
The only one who acted
surprised at the conference was
Harris himself. It was reliably
reported as many as five days
ago that Harris, a former

pitcher who was Richards’
batterymate while at Atlanta in
tlie Southern Association, would
get the job.
Yet Harris sheepishly stam
mered “today” when asked by
newsmen when he had heard
about it.
“Lucky you were here,”
quiped one writer.
Harris served as manager oi
the Braves’ AAA farm team at
Richmond this season, guiding
it to first place in the
International League.
He was a scout for the
Houston Astros in 1966 after
managing the team for 28
games at the end of the 1964
season and the entire 1965
campaign, finishing ninth.
Succeeded Richards
Harris, 52, succeeded Rich
ards as manager of the
Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 31,
1961 when Richards was elevat
ed to the role of general
manager but held the job only
until the end of the season after
which Richards went to Houston
and took Harris with him as
coach.
Billy Hitchcock, who replaced
Harris as Baltimore manager,
was fired by the Braves after
the club limped home seventh in
the National League despite
being considered serious pen
nant contenders prior to the
season.
“I feel a lot better taking
over this ball club than I did at
Houston,” said Harris, who said
little else at the conference
dominated by Richards. “Poten
tially, this Is a better club.”
Although no mention was
made of any coaching changes,
Richards—not Harris—said that
Ken Silvestri is certain to be
retained next year.

“I got there just a minute or

“That’s when I thought the
meeting was. We met in the

“I asked him why and he
said, ’for being late.’ I told him
I thought the meeting was at

Lowe said he got his shoes

15 years, officiating a football game. Coach DeTullio
worked the game prior to the Griffin-Therrell clash.
He said he was officiating "just to keep in shape.”

started the season in third
place.
Olivo passed 10 yards to Jim
Cox for Miami’s first score,
three yards to Cox for a final
quarter touchdown and plunged
over on a two-yard keeper play
himself.
Tulane quarterback Bobby
Duhon showed every sign in the
first half of keeping up the jinx
over Miami, which he started
in 1965 with an upset of the
Hurricanes and kept going last
year with a tie. He scored both
Tulane touchdowns Friday, one
in the opening quarter on
a seven-yard run and the other
in the second quarter on a 27-

Uwe Pontius got the two ex
