Eddy assistant basketball coach at East Tennessee stat University has resigned to accept the head coaching position a Eastern Illinois. Reed Kelley pitch braves to sweep of mets 3-2,2-0 new York a Atlanta s Ron Reed fired a two hitter in the first game beating the new York mets 3-2, and then Dick Kelley completed the sweep of the sunday double header with a 2-0 Victory in the allowed eight hits and out fuelled Al Jackson of the giants Chicago split twin Bill san Francisco a Ernie Banks three run Pinch hit Homer powered the chicag cubs to a 6-3 Victory Over san Francisco sunday after the giants won the doubleheader opener 1-0 on Gaylord Perry six hitter and Jim Hart s second inning , batting for Dick Nen in the sixth inning off the night Cap tagged his sixth Homer of the season off reliever Joe Gib Bon. Gibbon had replaced Bob Bolin after the giants starter issued a pair of two out walks. Reliever Phil Regan took Over for Winner Bill hands and snuffed out a giants rally in the Bottom of the sixth. After Dave Marshall s two run single Regan came in and made Hart ground into a double play to end the inning. A sour note. Continued from Page 18 did Well too 55,360 for a 9,229 average. Both were clubs which Drew better generally. The Bunde Sliga averages about 30,000 per contest. Some of the top games draw 70,000 of Germany s soccer fanatics and would attract More if stadiums were bigger. Most customers come 1-2hours Early to scramble for the Best spots in unreserved stand place sections. Most european stadiums have Only Small areas of seats. Can you see american fans standing nearly four hours to see a soccer game the Bunde Sliga schedule has 34 games. With exhibitions and european cup appearances a club can play As Many As 70 games in a season Good Revenue for the club. Schedule Wise the Nail is More stable with a 24-game slate More like other pro leagues than Only six games the Nusl played last year. Player salaries is one area the Nail compares Well with other countries. Kachline indicates the average player gets about 19,000 per year. Some top stars draw up to $15-18,000 annually. I Dollar terms the average Bunde Sliga performer earns $4,500-6,000 the difference in living standards has not been considered. To stars like Uwe Seeler of Hamburg so and Franz Beckenbauer of Bayern Munich command up to $10,000, including players come from All Over the world As there Are practically no native . Players of pro Caliper. There Are Only 26u.s. Citizens among 300 players on Nail club rosters several of those naturalized. Many come from Europe with England Yugo Slavia big contributors. Few Nail clubs have less than 10 europeans on their rosters. South America also contributes Stark contrast Bunde Sliga Hooters Are almost All Home grown. Foreign players probably make up no More than five per the realm of popular support however there is no comparison whatever. In Europe there is no other sport practically is a tradition every youngster kicks a soccer Ball from the time he is old enough to stand much like an american boy throws baseball or football. Pro soccer is relatively new in Germany though its origin is much older in England. But soccer has Bee King virtually since the beginning of the Century. And nobody but nobody is More fanatical than a soccer fan. Soccer is minor in . Do the ., baseball has Long been called the National past time a role pro football is perhaps taking Over. Soccer at Best is one of Many minor sports to americans. It support comes largely from european and latin american Immi Grants who carry on the old country tradition. Broad National inter est and support will have to be developed from scratch As will real local pro stars who will enable the . To make a competitive showing in the world cup. Apparently Nail owners Are Well aware of this they reportedly entered the game knowing it would be three five or perhaps seven years before they could begin to see a return on their Caliper of play can t be expected to compare and it does to judging from several games this reporter saw on to in the state last year. But it s bound to improve As the sport gains support and financial Security with big Money to entice top foreign stars. Merger of the two leagues hammered out last Winter inbound to help. The Nail has inherited the s fifa Sanction and its consolidation will help stabilize soccer and increase chances for Success Kachline feels. The outlaw Nusl last year was no doubt severely handicapped in acquiring players saddled with the double Hazard of an fifa ban and the questionable future presented by a new organization trying to sell an unfamiliar american fans will really embrace soccer Only Lime will Tell. This reporter has serious doubts despite an impressive Start. High scoring and lots of action Are key ingredients in the american fan s menu. Soccer Well played can provide the High scoring no. And of of those ties they Are not at All appealing and soccer is full of them. Alabama football coach ear Bryant illustrated that very Well after that historic 10-10 tie Between 1966 Gridiron Goliath notre Dame and Michigan the Bear a tie is like kissing your Opo cd the eighth mets who was three hitter until sete with a double and then o Aaron snapped the score with a triple to right i 8s?, jr1 Wood 3brought Aaron across.
