Jenkins tosses bat
after loud booing
By ED SAINSBURY
UPI Sports Writer
CHICAGO (UPI) - The
possibility of punishment didn’t
enter into the thoughts of
frustrated pitcher Ferguson
Jenkins of the Chicago Cubs
when he disgustedly threw four
bats onto the playing field when
he was taken out of the game.
But he could pay the price,
yet to be determined, when
National League President
Chub Feeney reads the um
pires’ report.
Tom Gorman, in charge of
the crew of umpires, said
Tuesday’s bat throwing would
be reported, but added there
would be no recommendation
for punishment.
Jenkins, quiet in the locker
room after his display of
temper, first said he fired the
bats because “I wanted the bat
boy to have a chance to do a
little work.”
Later, though, he said his
disgusted reaction was the
result of “a lot of things
building up since the beginning
of the year.”
The things building up
included an earlier pronounce
ment of disgust over his record
and the number of home run
balls he pitched when com
pared to his record of winning
20 games or more for the last
six seasons and winning the Cy
Young award in 1971.
It came to a head when he
gave up three runs in the fifth
inning against the Atlanta
Braves, to make his yield in 4
1-3 innings seven hits, five runs
and five walks, setting up a 6-2
win for the Braves. The loss
was Jenkins’ 12th against 10
wins this year, his third
straight defeat and his sixth in
the last seven games.
Carl Morton pitched a six hit
ter to beat the Cubs for the sec
ond time in 11 career decisions
against them. It was his first
win over Chicago since May 7,
1971.
Jenkins left to the accompani
ment of loud boos from the
home crowd of 24,553, a fact

CHICAGO—Cubs’ pitcher Fergie Jenkins is restrained, after throwing a bat on to the field,
by coaches Ernie Banks (1) and Larry Jansen (3). Jenkins was angry after being relieved in
the fifth inning of the Cubs-Braves game. He was booed by the home-park crowd after
walking three batters and allowing three runs by the Braves in the fifth inning. Jenkins
threw the bat after returning to the dugout. (UPI)
which was annoying. There was
speculation that he was annoyed
too at the ball and strike calls
by plate umpire Jerry Dale.
Dale, though, discounted this.
“We had no words,” he said.
“He didn’t say anything to
me.”
Jenkins in fact said little to
anybody, umpires or team
mates, and had nothing to say
even to Billy Williams, who ran
in from left field when the bats
started flying, to help convince
Jenkins he should go to the
locker room.
“He didn’t say anything,”
Williams said. “It wasn’t the
strike calls. The booing might
have had something to do with
it. It’s been building up all
year. Here’s a guy who has
won 20 games each of the last
six years and nothing is going
right. It was just one of those

John hasn’t
forgiven Colts
BY JOE CARNICELLI
UPI Sports Writer
John Unitas hasn’t forgiven
the Colts for the treatment he
received during his final season
in Baltimore last year.
Unitas, traded to the San
Diego Chargers after spending
the last two-thirds of the 1972
season on the bench, Tuesday
filed a $725,000 suit against the
Colts for “malicious breach of
a 10-year contract” and “pub
licly humiliating” him.
Unitas had a personal ser
vices contract with the Colts
which called for a $30,000 front
office job after his career was
over. Unitas, in the suit, said
that General Manager Joe
Thomas made it clear he did
not want him with the Colts in
any capacity.
Thomas was unavailable for
comment and a Colt spokesman
would say only that the case
was being referred to attor
neys.
Richardson Arrested
Elsewhere, Gloster Richard
son, veteran wide receiver of
the Cleveland Browns, was
arrested last weekend for a
variety of traffic violations and
for possession of marijuana,
police said Tuesday. Richard
son was charged with leaving
the scene of an accident,
driving without a license,
driving while intoxicated and
the drug charge. He was freed
on a personal bond.
The Browns, meanwhile, ac
quired tight end Jan White —
who announced his retirement
from football two weeks ago—
from Buffalo for a draft choice.
Joe Woolley, fired as head
coach of the Ball High School
team in Galveston, Tex., for
altering transcripts of two
Oklahoma freshmen, was hired
as an assistant coach by the
Houston Oilers. Woolley was
hired by General Manager Sid
Gillman as quality control
coach, replacing Garland
Boyette, who came out of
retirement Monday to play
linebacker again.
“All I asked for was an
opportunity,” Woolley said. “I
made a mistake. I admitted it.
Now I want to get to work and
prove myself.”
The Denver Broncos obtained
veteran linebacker Bill Laskey
from the Colts for a draft
choice and fullback Eddie Ray,
who missed three weeks of
practice with the Atlanta
Falcons, was fined $2,100 when
he finally reported Monday.
