Aaron, Mays
pull in votes
NEW YORK (UPl)—Hank
Aaron of the Atlanta Braves
and Willie Mays of the San
Francisco Giants, two of
baseball’s all-time greats, are
among the leading vote-getters
in the early returns fa- the 1971
National League All-Star squad,
it was announced today.
Aaron, who has appeared in
20 All-Star games, and Mays,
who has been in 21, are the
leaders in the voting for
outfield berths. Aaron, who
boasted a .317 average with 18
homers through games of
Wednesday, June 9, has 65,206
votes in balloting conducted of
the fans while Mays, whose
average stood at .329 with 13
homers, had 60,040.
Willie Stargell of the Pit
tsburgh Pirates, the major
league leader in homers with
20, is slightly ahead of Lou
Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals
in the balloting for the third
outfield spot. Stargell has 25,193
votes while Brock has 24,032.
Catcher Johnny Bench of the
Cincinnati Reds leads all NL
vote-getters with 69,506 votes
and appears to be landslide
winner for his position. Bench’s
closest competition comes
from Jerry Grote of the New
York Mets, who has 8,102 votes.

ATLANTA (UPI) - The na
tion’s high school coaches ap
proved a resolution Thursday
calling on Congress to forbid
professional football games on
Friday nights.
The National High School Ath
letic Coaches Association
(NHSACA), meeting in their an
nual conference here, said in
the resolution that tel evised pro
grams on Friday nights cut
down on attendance to high
school games.
Cliff Fagan, NHSACA execu
tive secretary, called on the
coaches to “resist the intrusion
of professional sports into areas
where they don’t rightly be
long.”
The coaches also adopted a
resolution condemning “the use
of drugs to artifically improve
athleticperformance,” although
Fagan said he did not think
“great numbers” of high school
athletes use drugs.
He said the resolution was
aimedatpreventing future prob
lems in that area. The coaches
also approved guidelines for the
recruiting of high school ath
letes by colleges.
The guidelines are intended to
supplement existing rules of col
legiate regulatory bodies.

received 29,614 votes while
Kissinger has 27,926.
Willie McCovey of the San
Francisco Giants, despite hav
ing been injured part of the
season, leads Orland Cepeda of
Atlanta by more than 10,000
votes in the balloting for first
baseman. McCovey has re
ceived 37,680 votes to 27,331 for
Cepeda despite the fact that
Cepeda’s credentials thus far
are more impressive than
McCovey’s.
Glenn Beckert of the Cubs
holds a substantial lead over
Julian Javier of St. Louis in the
voting for second base and Joe
Torre of the Cardinals is well
ahead of Ron Santo of the Cubs
in the balloting for third base.
Oddly, some of the league’s
top hitters to date have not
fared so well in the early
returns. Ralph Garr of Atlanta,
who is hitting .360, ranks only
eighth among the outfielders
while Willie Davis of Los
Angeles, batting .357, is ninth.
Nate Colbert of San Diego, who
has hit 13 homers, is not even
listed among the first basemen
nor is New York’s Ed
Kranepool, who is batting .317.
The fans vote only for the
eight regular positions. Pitchers
are selected by the manager,
who this year will be Sparky
Anderson of the Cincinnati
Reds.
year had passed since
Drabowsky was pitching for
Kansas City. The “home”
bullpen phone number was
fresh in his diabolical mind.
“Get Krause hot in a hurry,”
he ordered into the receiver
and quickly hung up.
For about an inning, K. C.
reliefer Lew Krause warmed
up wondering what had gotten
into his manager. Wasn’t Jim
Nash pitching a two-hit
shutout?
Then there was an incident in
1969 after the Orioles had
shipped Moe back to Kansas
City, this time to the ex
pansionist Royals.
“I planned a commando
attack on the Baltimore bullpen
for 2100,” Moe recalls,
pleading his action was merely
retaliatory against Orioles
Eddie Watt and Pete Richert.
“They had put goldfish in our
water and, another time,
painted our pitching rubber
and home plate with the Oriole
colors.”
Neither Watt nor Richert
have gotten over the mud ball
and rock attack of that evening.
Nor were the culprits ever
positively identified.
“Another time, an air
conditioner backfired and there
was this weird smell,” says
Moe innocently. “There were
some accusations I had stuck
something in the system. I
denied them, of course.”
Yes, it's hard for Moe to
know where to begin.
Actually, he began with the
Chicago Cubs in 1956. There
were stops in Houston,
Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Kansas
City (twice), Baltimore (twice)
and now St. Louis.
He’s the world’s best
traveled Polish joke with a
major league nose and a fast
ball that constantly gets him in
the record books.
Stan Musial hit one of them
for No. 3,000. And it was Moe
who got the loss when Early
Wynn finally reached that 300th
victory.
He’s spent his life in baseball
making people happy.

said seriously. “If I sit and
worry, I get tense and can’t do
the job. If you’re up throwing in
the third, then the fourth, then
the seventh — well,
psychologically it builds up.”
Switching leagues is difficult
for a relief pitcher no matter
how much practice he has at it.
Moe knows this well and,
behind his humor, is a devout
purpose.
“A relief pitcher is never in a
position to experiment,” he
explains. “He pays for every
mistake. He just has to know. I
like to know what a player has
done his last 20 times against
me — where he has hit the
ball.”
But Drabowsky has only
begun writing his new National
League book. He has made
three appeaances with the
Cards without winning, losing
or recording any saves and has
yielded a couple hits and a run
in 4 1-3 innings.
“I’m still basically a fast-ball
pitcher,” says the 6-2 right
hander born in Ozanna, Poland.
“It’s been going the last couple
years but, when I hit the cor
ners consistently, it’s still an
effective pitch.”
He was hitting them quite
effectively while winning the
first game of the ’66 World
Series.
That day, he allowed the Los
Angeles Dodgers one hit in a 6
2-3 innings relief, striking out 11
— at one time, six in a row.
But Moe’d rather talk about
the second time Baltimore got
to the Series, in 1969, without
him.
“I hired a plane to circle the
stadium pulling a sign. It read:
‘Good Luck Birds — Beware of
Moe.’ Only cost me $160.”
Finally, it occurred to Moe
what perhaps was the greatest
of all his moments in the big
leagues.
“It was when I sent the
package to Watt and Richert
with the snake in it,” he
guessed. “I wanted it to be a
boa constrictor but settled for a
king snake.”
As the announcer said, there
was a lot of activity in the
bullpen.

Saints on QB hunt i
By M. GENE MEARNS
NEW ORLEANS (UPI)-Vi
brations from the New Orleans
Saints these days seem to indi
cate that Archie Manning—when
and if he is signed up—is not
expected to be the salvation of
the 1971 team.
There is even talk that Coach
J. D. Roberts has begun a quiet
talent hunt of his own to find
an experienced quarterback to
spearhead the Saints in the ab
sence of Billy Kilmer, traded to
Washington.
As things stand at quarter
back, the Saints have signed
two-year veteran Edd Hargett,
who has 109 completions to his
credit, and rookie Bobby Scott,
who led Tennessee to a 1971 Sug
ar Bowl victory over Air Force.
NegotiationsbetweenManning
and the Saints were reported
Stalemated over money. A pos
sible meeting between the Saints
and Manning was rumored for
Biloxi, Miss., today but general
manager Vic Schwenk has de
nied one would take place.
The Saints apparently have
three big questions about Man
ning’s potential:
—How well will he be able to
make the transition—and it is
a big one—from Ole Miss super
star to an effective pro football
quarterback?
—What will be the effect of
Manning’s missing about 30
workouts and 50 team meetings
