KUHN RUMBLES:

Astro- Expo deal fizzling

MIAMI, Fla. UP)- Commissioner
Bowie Kuhn has directed the
Houston Astrosand Montreal Ex-
pos to work out a settlement of
their recent trade by Friday or
he will do it himself, The Asso-
ciated Press learned yesterday.
The Astros traded Staub, a
first baseman-outfielder to the
expansion on Montreal Expos for
outfielder Jesus Alou and .first
baseman Donn Clendenon. But a;
snag in the deal deleveloped when
Clendenon, a long-time player forI
the Pittsburg Pirates; announced#
his retirement to concentrate on
a business career.
In Atlanta yesterday, Clenden-
on, in a statement, reiterated that
he does not plan to play again.
As q result of Kuhn's order,
executivesbof the Montreal and
Houston clubs scheduled a Wed-
nesday night meeting here in an.
attempt to solve the dispute. 4
Kuhn, it was understood, has
asked the Montreal club to give
Houston another player or cash.
The Commissioner, who recently
returned from a trip to Western1
training camps, could not bei
reached immediately for confirma-<
tion.
Staub, a 24-year old slugger,c
batted .291 last year, hitting six1
homers and driving in 72 runs.
He said he has adjusted to thet
trade and does not want to re--
turn to the Astros.e

trade should be nullified by Clen-
denon's retirement. Montreal, anj
expansion team, wants to keep

Staub, and the young slugger has
said he may quit if he has to go
back to Houston.
"I was certainly not one of

neither anticipated nor desired

Houston, Atlanta and Montreal
because of my decision to retire,"
Clendenon said.

Tiger Freehan breaks nose;
o. J., Bilts far from terms
By The Associated Press
0 LAKELAND, Fla.-Detroit's Tigers were left temporarily with-
out an experienced catcher yesterday when Bill Freehan's nose was
shattered by a pitch from Jim Northrup duripg practice.
Doctors at the Tigers' spring training camp said 1Freehan would
have to remain completely inactive until Monday. with a guaze
protective mask covering the middle of his face.
After that, they said, it would be a week to 10 days before
Freehan could resume training.
Freehan was still tapping the plate with his bat when the ball
struck him, cracking the bone along the upper left portion of the
nose.
"Jim shouted and I looked up just in time to get smashed,"
Freehan said.
"It was stupid of me not to look before I threw the thing." said
Northrup. "I could kick myself for being so dumb."
0 ORLANDO, Fla.-Superstar O. J. Simpson says he might play
for the unheralded Orlando Panthers of the Continental Football
League if the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League don't
meet his $600,000 plus price tag, according to Elmer Cook, Panther
president.
The Southern California halfback's price tag would be under-
written by the Florida Citrus Commission, which would capitalize
on Simpson's nickname-Orange Juice, Cook said.
Ralph Wilson, owner of the Buffalo Bills, said recently that he
and O. J. were far apart on that salary question, and added that
Simpson must think that he, Wilson, was as rich'as Howard Hughes
to be able to meet the price Simpson asked.

" PALM SPRING, Calif.--The 26 club owners of the National
and American Football Leagues 'took time out from their 1970 re-
alignment problems yesterday to move the 1970 Super Bowl from
Miami to New Orleans.
By a vote that Commissioner Pete Rozelle said was not unani-
mous, the Super Bowl returns to an NFL city for the first time since
the first game, which was in Los Angeles in 1967.
The pro:football title game between the champions of the two
leagues has been in Miami's Orange Bowl the past two years. The

approximately 81,000, about 5,000 more than the Orange Bowl,
" STOCKHOLM - The Soviet Union took a long stride toward

yet to win. The defending champions have eight points on a 4-0
record and have scored 34 goals and yielded only six.
* LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND - Col. Johann Westerhoff,
resigned secretary-general of the International Olympic Committee,

January after three years in office. -
In an interview with the Swiss Sport magazine he made it
clear that he resigned after a running feud with Brundage, 81-year-
old U.S. millionaire.
"Brundage cannot tolerate strong people around him," Wester-
hoff said. "He took over everything himself. So he looked for depen-
dent, servile people."
His sucessor is expected to be announced this week.
" GROSSINGER, N.Y. - Buster Mathis watched Jerry Quarry
box yesterday and then gave the California heavyweight some advice
from the ringside.
"Don't drop your hands when you get into the Ping with me

They will meet in a 12-rounder at Madison Square Garden
Monday night.
