"I feel the matter of spring training is, was and should be a matter of self determination," Veeck said. "Obviously, the other 23 clubs do not agree." Veeck wasn't the only base- ball man who was eager for the rites of spring training to begin. Several teams have begun practice sessions on their own, including a dozen players from the Philadelphia Phillies. "We all chipped in and bought the !balls and some bats," said Phillies slugger Greg Luzinski. c IV n a a w n i u a s tj I PANASONIC PORTABLE CASSETTE RECORDER AC/DC operation. Solid state.

LOS ANGELES-World heavy- weight champion Muhammad Ali has signed to battle a wres- ler in Tokyo, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner reported in yesterday's editions. Ali's foe is reported to be Antonio Inoki, described as a 6-foot-4, 265-pounder who fre- quently wrestles in the United States. The details of the fight re- portedly have not been final- ized; but each man apparently will use his own form of fight- ing in the match, with Ali throw- ing punches and Inoki applying wrestling holds. lm Lilt, ncoe a -7 Sole CHECK OUR LOW WEEKEND PRICE . r-li k, Ceorads "I 2019 W.
