II didn't get this kicking any water

Italiano who forgets to pare his toenails
and runs out to practice in a new pair Of
shoes.
Hey, doc" he yelled to Trainer Ed
Weidner, "hows about drilling this nailP
Take the pressure off, huh?"
"Ill do it," weidner promised, but
you won't enjoy it."

first baseman, winking at the visitor and
Catcher Hobie Landrith, who was sitting

YEAH, I HAD A KIND of lousy year /"
Gentle said, opening his own interview.
THE 80 home runs weren't so bad, but I
should drive in 100 runs a season and 1
damn well know ought to hit better than
.2ol. That average is what hurt"
Gentle is witty man with a temper.
For eight years he toiled in the minors,
always the property of the Dodgers, who
already were well fixed at first base with
Gil Hodges. His is a history of kicking
water coolers, tearing up gloves, busting
lockers and sundry other forms of oblique
self-destruction.
The Orioles bought him conditionally
In the late winter of 1859 and he made
good with .292 average, SO RBI and 81
homers in 80. Gentle vowed it was be-
cause he had taken pledge to curb his
temper. He controlled it again in 81 and
enjoyed wonderful season-SO2 average,
14l RBI and 46 home runs.
yeah, reverted to my old self last
season" Jim admitted. II guess anybody
would throw few fits If he don't hit better
than Isl. sure am not going to drive
IN l41 runs every season, but I've got to
do better than last season." Eighty-seven
RBI isn't bad, but it amt good, either
Not for me-"
MAYBE YOU oUGHTA get out of

SAN JUAN Mar. 9 CAP).-
Orlando Cepeda. holdout first
baseman Of the San Francisco
Giants, said today, 81 plan to
stay in Puerto Rico indefinitely
unless they give me a raise"
Cepeda, a holdout for the
third straight year, was inter-
viewed in a gymnasium where
he works out each morning and
evening.
II don't understand what
Manager AL Dark is talking
about in this plus and minus
business" he said.
Earlier in the day Dark said
In Tucson, Ariz., that he judged
his players on a plus and minus
basis and that Cepeda had 40
minuses "for a terrible record,
especially for the last half Of
the season." @
What about the first half Of
the season." Cepeda asked, then
answered the question by say
ing: my record for 1862 speaks
for itself. I hit IS home runs
and batted .306.
Cepeda did not say how much
money he wanted to play for
Giants this season but added,
IT won't leave Puerto Rico I'M
til I have signed my contract
and have gotten a raise"
Reports from Arizona have
indicated that the Giants first
offered Cepeda a 1868 contract
calling for a cut in salary. He
rejected it and then was offered
one for the same amount as
last season, estimated at about
$46.500. He rejected that one,
too.
