Reports of fine displease Herzog
KANAS CITY, MO. (AP) —The California Angels apparently have been slapped with a $5,000 fee by baseball Commissioner Bowie Hawkins and with Kansas City Manager Miley Herzog.
Neither the Angels nor the commissioners office would verify news reports of the fine last night, but the man in the middle—H Herzog —had plenty to say about the matter.
"I think the fine is very unfair and I don't think Angels' owner Gene Autry is guilty or anyone in the angel organization is guilty." Herzog said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "As far as I'm concerned, they never tamper with me."
A SPOKESMAN FOR Commissioner

formation would have to come from the Angels.
E. J. "Buzzie" Bavasi, executive vice president of the Angels, said the team would not have an official comment until it received a reply to its protest of the decision, but Autry declared, "I'm not guilty of a thing."
Joe Burke, Kansas City general manager, said he was aware of reports last year that Herzog might go to the Angels, but he wasn't. He could be in a complaint with the commissioner's office.
Tracy Ringolby, baseball writer for the Long Beach Independent Press-Telegram, had speculated last Sept. 28 on the possibility of Herzog becoming manager of
the California team, and The Associated Press quoted him.
BUT HERZOG, although admitted he often talked with Aurry when the Royals were in Anaheim, denied that the Angela told him a job and called the fine 'quite a shocker.
"He and I are good friends, but we never discussed the managerial job," said Herzog, in Miami for a golf tournament. "It seems that every time people see me and Autry talking, as soon as he says, 'Hi', you see something in the paper."
Autry was quoted in Ringolby's story as saying that if Herzog was looking for a job, the Angels owner had one for him—a statement Herzog carried harmless.
Youth dominates women's team
It seems that everywhere KU tennis it excels. Villaisto looks this year he finds inexperience.
Kivisto, who coaches a women's team that has five freshmen among the top eight players, also has a young but talented men's team.
That alone would be enough to make most coaches begin their search for excuses—even before the season begins. But not Kivisto.
"There's a list of good talent, and we can win it," Kivisto said, referring to the women's Big Eight title.
"A lot of people expect us to do well. We have a lot of good people."
will have a tough time improving on last year's 19-1 record. Their only loss was to sixth-ranked Texas.
Nonetheless, the Kansas women's team
In the fall tennis season, with the same squad they will field this spring, the Jayhawks managed a 9-1 record—lossing to the States. State, the conference (favorite this year).
"WE PLAYED with a lot of pose," kivito said. "We played like we had lot of posse."
Kivisto said he expected singles competition to be KU's strength this spring.
Co-captain Carrie Fotopotoulis, who placed second in the Big Eight tournament last spring, is the Jayhawks' No. 1 singles player.
Last fall Fotokolony defeated Oklahoma State's Lisa Benny, the top singles player in the Big Eight tournament. Fotokolony won the national' s top twenty in the 14-16 age bracket.
Playing No. 2 singles is Mary Stauffer, the Jahvayh other captain.
Two freshman Shari Schrufer and Barbara Ketterman, follow Staffauer in the line-up. Other players expected to start later are Ralph Merrion and freshman Bridget Guilfool.
Nine hope to oust Kuhn
NEW YORK (AP) — A backroom movement by a handful of baseball owners intent on tiring Commissioner Bowie Kuhn to support from roughly one-third of the teams.
Brad Corbett of Texas, the anti-Kunn ringleader has approached several sympathetic owners for support in the project, and they have outspoken owner of the San Diego Padres.
"We had conversations on other subjects and it came up in conversation," Kroc said. "I haven't played any part except to agree with those who have brought it to my attention."
"I would participate, and Brad has instilled that there are a number of other people," he said.
The Kansas women's team opens its season this weekend in the four-team Southwest Missouri State Invitational in Chicago. For a first of sight consecutive road matches.
An Associated Press survey revealed that at least nine of the 28 teams would vote to fire Kuhn if a secret ballot were held today. Those teams are Baltimore, New York, Cincinnati, San Francisco, the American League, and Cincinnati, San Diego and Atlanta in the National League.
Kuhn's office said yesterday that the commissioner was out of town. A list of questions was submitted to Kuhn's office and Mr. Kuhn, who refused to comment on the matter.
