Stuart with Angels
PALM SPRINGS, Calif.
Dick Stuart has been around long enough to know no one makes it in the big leagues on sentiment, but at age 36 a lot of the old bombast is gone—he's trying his best to hook on for one more ride any way that he can.
"I learned a lot playing in Japan," said the still boyish Stuart while hanging around the baiting cage waiting for his turn to hit a few in the California Angels' camp.
Robinsons score; Baltimore wins
(Bv United Press International)
(By United Press International) Brooks and Frank Robinson went into their familiar two-man act yesterday that used to be the hit of the American League circuit.
Mr. B. walloped a grand slam homer in the first inning and Mr. F. followed in the third with a three-run blast, pacing the Baltimore Orioles to an 8-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The home run production was an indication the Robinson's could do better than their combined 32 homers last season, Brooks hitting 17 and Frank 15.
New 'Super site'
Brooks Robinson's "slam" came after Pedro Ramos walked three men in the first inning. The Pirates starter also yielded Frank Robinson's homer.
Paul Blair, a .211 batter in 1968, banged out four hits against the Orioles. Jim Palmer worked the first six innings for Baltimore and gave up eight of Pittsburgh's nine hits.
The Chicago White Sox erupted for four ninth-inning runs on a hit batsman, two errors and singles by Walt Williams and Tommy McCraw to defeat the Kansas City Royals 5-1.
Chicago, jumped off to a 1-0 lead in the first inning off Galen Cisco on singles by Bill Nelson and Carolis May, plus a double play, and the score stood that way until the White Sox got their four in the ninth.
PALM SPRINGS, Calif.
New Orleans has been selected by pro football team owners as the site of the 1970 Super Bowl game.
John Locker was kicked by the Royals for a run in the
Pro football commissioner Pete Rozelle announced the selection and said it would maintain the balance between American Football League and National Football League cities.
Freehan was hurt while taking batting practice in the Tigers' Lakeland, Fla., camp. A pitch from Jim Northrup caught Freehan in the face and broke his nose--for the fourth time.
The Boston Red Sox batted around in the fourth inning for seven runs in a 13-1 mauling of the Houston Astros. Thirteen men batted in the frame for Boston's biggest output of the spring. Mike Andrews ied a 15-hit attack with four singles. Don Wilson was the target for the Red Sox's first nine runs.
Mickey Lolich was the victim of an anemic Cincinnati uprising that put together six Reds hits and three Detroit errors. Rookie Darrel Chaney homered for Cincinnati and southpaw Steve Mingori shut off a Tiger uprising in the ninth with a man on third and one out.

1969 KANSAN 7
The New York Mets edged the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Cleon Jones' three-run homer for their fifth consecutive win and seventh in their past eight games. Jones, batting .433, has three homers and 12 runs batted in, leading the team's offensive attack.
Rozelle told a news conference that the majority of owners swung to New Orleans because the NFL Saints averaged 75,000 attendance per game in their home stadium at Tulane University. It has a capacity of 81,000.
The world champion Detroit Tigers lost on all counts yesterday. They dropped a 4-3 decision to the Cincinnati Reds and later learned that catcher Bill Freehan will be sidelined for two weeks with a broken nose.
Alcindor voted best again gets Player of the Year
NEW YORK — UCLA's Lew Alcindor, the Gotham Giant who went West to write a legend, was named the first recipient of the Naismith Trophy yesterday as United Press International college basketball Piayer of the Year.
It was the second Player of the Year award for the 7-foot-1 star from New York City—he also won two years ago as a sophomore—and with it went the Naismith Trophy, which will be presented annually to the top player as picked by UPI sportswriters and broadcasters.
Alcindor, who lost out last year to Houston's Elvin Hayes,
won in a breeze this time. He was named on 212 of 308 ballots cast. Pete Maravich of Louisiana State was a distant second with 47 votes, followed by Rick Mount of Purdue with 10, Spencer Haywood of Detroit with six and Charlie Scott of North Carolina with five.
Trade?
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPI)
— Heisman Trophy winner O. J.
Simpson has said he wants to be
traded to a West Coast club if he
does not get a "fair" deal from
the Buffalo Bills of the
American Football League.
Simpson likes West
"I would prefer playing in the west," said the Southern California star halfback and No. 1 draft choice of the Bills.
Negotiations with the Bills' owner, Ralph Wilson, may be resumed later this week.
Simpson said if he did not get the contract he wanted he might play Canadian football or in the Continental League, a minor pro circuit.
The star halfback was in Indianapolis between personal appearances. He said he wanted to play in the NFL on the West Coast because San Francisco is his home.
Simpson did not spell out specifically the terms he seeks in a pro contract, and said specifics have not been discussed with the Bills—only what he believes he is worth to the team.
"I'd like to sign a contract as soon as possible because I want
to settle down soon," he said. "I'm quite happy to go to Buffalo, but only if I get a contract I think is fair."
Despite some other business possibilities, including the movie industry, Simpson said he would much rather sign a contract to play professional football, a sport in which he made a name for himself as the country's No.1 collegiate star.
U.C.L.A. is favored
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mighty U.C.L.A. ranks as a 13-point favorite over Drake but the North Carolina-Purdue battle is rated as a "take-your-choice" affair in tonight's semifinal games in the N.C.A.A. basketball tournament before a capacity crowd of about 18,000 in Freedom hall.
The Bruins from Los Angeles are gunning for an unprecedented third straight national championship and there aren't many here who doubt they will make it.
